Just Be Patient (Urban Story)

Chapter 5:Try Me Out

I had just walked in the house from an event I had to do. 100 people! But the larger the party the larger the check so I wasn't mad.
"My feet are killing me" I stated as I kicked off my 5 inch cream colored pumps. I always wore heels every time I had a party but complained about it later. I walked upstairs and threw off my dress, bra and panties as I got ready to take a shower. I turned on my radio and allowed Trey songs Massage to fill my surroundings. I lit some candles and filled my tub with steamy hot water and vanilla bubble bath.
"Just relax lay your body down"the song said as it helped me get in a relaxing mood. I stepped into the tub and sat all the way back allowing the hot water to hit every inch of my smooth skin. I grabbed my phone from off the sink to text Jen that I had gotten in safely and good luck with her anniversary trip. Jen had been married for 3 years now and went to Hawaii to celebrate with her husband Frank. I loved their bond and friendship and I knew she deserved a good man. I admired their union and hoped to maybe one day come close to the happiness she has. I hit the send button and rested back on the sink.
"Mmmmm I needed this" as I sat back and closed my eyes. Letting the music and atmosphere take control. I was drifting off when my phone started to ring. I got up to get it and saw a number I wasn't sure who it was.
"Hello, this is Hue" I said into my phone while sitting up in the tub. Lord knows I didn't wanna get out.
"You sound as good as you look beautiful" a raspy deep male voice said to me and I couldn't help but blush cause I knew it was him.
"Jason?" I said already knowing. It has been a couple days since we exchanged information and I was actually anxious for him to call me.
"Yes it's me. I hope I'm not calling you at a bad time. I know it's late but I thought I should try" he said respectful causing me to smile.
"Oh so you was thinking bout me huh" I joked but was serious at the same time
"Beautiful you have no idea" he said in a sensual tone that made me feel a certain type of way.
"So what you been up too" I asked trying to loosen up the conversation.
"Just been working. Sold a couple houses this week so paperwork comes on heavy" he said as I grabbed my towel and stepped out the tub into my bedroom positioning myself on the bed. I let down my ponytail and let my loose waves hang
"How long you been a realtor"
"I had my business for about 7 years. I started hustling to get my own shit right out of high school. They was giving out scholarships in the hood so I worked my ass off for it. Then went to college and graduated top of my class. Now couple years later here Iam." The more he spoke the more I wanted to know more about him. It was such a turn on me to hear a man speak of his success and where he came from.
"Hard work pays off boo" I said to him
"No doubt about that beautiful. What's your story though. I wanna know a lil about you. Whatever you wanna tell" I thought about it and spoke up
"Well I'm 26 years old. I'm originally from Queens, New York. Moved to Atlanta about 4 In a half years ago. After a lot of negative things happened in my life one day I just woke and said bye bye New York and came to ATL. Branded myself and got my company started. Leaving all the past be hide me" I said trying not to get too deep
"That's what's up. So why you single. I mean I'm not trying to be rude but you beautiful, successful and you can cook. That's a formula for wife material and ain't nobody grabbed you up" I didn't know whether to blush or be embarrassed he was right though.
"I hear you but I just had a bad relationship couple of years ago and haven't really been wanting to get into a relationship since" I informed him.
"He must've been a fool. Well I'm kinda glad he fucked up though. I wouldn't be even having this conversation with you now. Niggas don't know something good" he said causing my cheeks to just beam
"How you know imma a good thing" I laughed and asked him
"Listen. I'm 29 years old and have fucked wit a lot of women. I'm not no hoe or nothing but I say that to say, that I ain't never encounter a female like you. Just the way you look and carry yourself got me all fucked up. I know we don't know each other but I wanna get to know you. I wanna be just your friend now. No deep shit just be my friend" at this point I thought I was being punked and waited for Aston Kutcher or a camera to come out. I was feeling everything he was saying but that cloud of doubt and hurt came over me. I didn't have to date the man. I was willing to be a friend to him. And who was I kidding I could use someone to talk to.
"Ok I could do that. So friends?" I said to him
"Friends" he said back. I thought to myself here we go..........
