Elijah

So today is the day I take faith on a date . I'm I nervous? Extremely ,do I regret asking her out ? No , I'm just scared . What if she doesn't love me what if she never loved me , that would honestly shatter my heart .

As my thoughts are being distracted by Isaiah per usual , I began to check the time and see I only have 4 hours till I pick her up. Iiii
"You nervous" Isaiah said as I turned to him
" of course I am it's been years since I've been out with her " I said, pacing back and forth
" okay well relax , you have to go otherwise your going to be late to pick her up" Isaiah said while shoving the keys in my hand and pushing me out the front door .
As I get in the car I began to dial Faiths number .
calling, calling , RINGING, RINGING AND NOW SHES ANSWERING IT
"Hello" faith said
" Hey faith , it's me Elijah " I said as my heat is racing
" Hey Eli " she said
She still calls me Eli , the nickname she gave me when we was in school

" Elijah ?" She questions
" ohh sorry , I'll be at your place in 20 minutes " I said as I begin to drive
" okay Eli " faith said as the phone cut

20 Minutes later

Im finally arrive at her house and my heart is racing 10x faster . "Elijah you need to get yourself together " I told myself
Before I got out the car I made sure my waves were looking good . Now that I know I look good I grab the bouquet of roses and yes I got her a bouquet of roses on the first date .
As I got out the car , I walk to the front door and knock , with my heart racing 20x faster.
As I hear the door knob open hoping to see faith but it wasn't , it was some women . She had knotless braids or is it box braids I can't tell the difference, she's wear lion king onesie, we stayed quite for a good 45 seconds before I broke it

"Is faith here " I said
" ohh your Elijah and yes Faith is here , I'll call her down for you " she said
" I'm Kendra by the way " Kendra said
"FAITH YOUR DATE IS HERE " Kendra screamed causing my ears to kinder hurt
"FAITH NOKUTENDA MOYO " Kendra said again but saying faiths full name
" I'm coming " I heard that sweet , voice which was Faith which made me smile

A minute later she came down wearing a black ummm , I don't how to describe dresses but she looks stunning per usual
"Hey Eli , you ready ?" Faith ask me
"WOW you look stunning" I said just admiring her beauty
" thank you Eli" she said with chuckle with a smile across her face .
" you ready to go " I asked
" yeah let's go, by Kendra " Faith said
As we reached the car I open her door
"Thanks eli" she said
I just smiled , not even a single word came out my mouth .
As I closed her door I went to my side and entered
" you ready ?" I asked as I began to start the car
"Yes " she said
"can we play some music?" She asked
I nodded and handed her my phone with the Spotify app open
A few minutes of her searching . Best version of me -pt.2 by Larell came on and I put the volume to the maximum
" you listen to larell too" she asked with a bright smile on her face
" all day every day " I said giving her a smile as we both sing the lyrics together

' God is still working on me '
' I had to let go of a few people , I ain't able '

30 minutes later

Through our car ride we listened to Stevie rizo , Alex Jean , j. Monty , céjae and more played thought the car ride until we reached to restaurant .
As I parked the car I got out and went to open faiths door
" thank you Eli " she said
" no problem " I said as I held her hand into the restaurant
As we reached the front door one of the staff asked for our names
" Good evening , welcome to the city , may I have your name " he said
" Elijah Thompson " I said
" yess table for two , follow me " he said while directing us to our table .
" here is your table , we will have a waiter at your service in five minutes " he said as he left leaving me with faith
" we have got a lot to talk about " faith said
" yeah , let's start of with why did we suddenly stop talking " I said
" honestly the only person who has those answers is God . I also think He did it so we can heal and get closer to Him " Faith said
And everything she said was true after what happened with Tinashe  , Her dad , our car accident.God was just healing us from our pain , He was bringing us closer to him .
" God's timing is always right " i said
" So true " faith said giving me a smile
A few minutes of us talking our sever come to our table asking for our orders
" may I please have your famous pasta , thank you " she said
"Of course and you sir what would you like " He asked
" I'll have the same thank you " I said
"Of course we will be with you shortly " He said while leaving
" how is the business and being a surgeon going " I asked
" amazing , I'm one of the top surgeons in the world " she said while smiling
" how's life going Eli" Faith ask me
" Great "I said
" you sure?"she asks me
"You know you haven't left my mind " I said
" me too Eli" she said
A few minutes of talking our food arrived
"Thank you " me and Faith said
" let's pray " I said
As we held each others hands I began to say a prayer
" Dear Heavenly Father , thank you for allowing us to arrive to the restaurant safely , thank you for allowing us to have the opportunity to eat the food in front of us , may you Bless the hands that prepared the food . In Jesus name we pray  Amen " I said
"Amen " faith said

10 minutes later
After ten minutes we finished our food  , we payed and left
As we are in the car I hand Faith my phone to play some music 
I got that V-I-C-T-O-R-Y
I got no reason to fear, I got Jesus on my side, I got that (ayy)
I got that (Vs up), I got that (ayy) (that spell victory, right?)
I got that (Vs up)
I got that V-I-C-T-O-R-Y
I got no reason to fear, I got Jesus on my side, I got that (ayy)
I got that (Vs up), I got that (ayy) (you might wanna turn it up)
I got that (ayy), I got that (Vs up) (You might wanna turn this up)
everybody's asking
Why you always laughing
When there is no reason to smile? (to smile)
And everybody is saying (oh yeah)
Why do you keep praying?
Things ain't change for you in quite a while
When I think of all the
Stuff I had to go through
Just so I could be here today (my Lord)
He always reminds me
Go 'head and be thankful
'Cause I know my blessing's on the ('cause my blessing's on the way, yeah)
They said I wasn't gon' make it
They said it couldn't be done
But every time they see me, they say they know that I've won (they know that I've won)
I don't take no credit for where my help comes from
I just looked up to them hills and I praised Him to the skies
We  put the volume up to full maximum

30 minutes of driving and listening to music , we finally reach faiths house .
" thanks for dinner Eli " Faith said as she gave me a hug
"Anytime" I said as she goes inside
