Hello Darling: Book 1 (Completed)

Romance of the Forbidden(2)

Andrew's POV

What am I doing?! I can't believe I asked her out! Now, I did say that we were just going as friends but I got her number! This is a massive moment for me. Immediately, I send her a text.

To: Raven Beauty

Hey, it's Andrew. You know, from languages around the world. Here's the address to the cafe. 8393 E. Roadster Dr. It's gonna be next to the thrift store.

I send the text and just wait. I pretend to do something so I'm not just waiting for a text. She might respond immediately because she's driving. I'm just going to read. I get up and roam around the library until I find a couple of books to my liking. I get them checked out and was about to start on the first book when I get a text. I quickly grabbed my phone, hoping it was the raven beauty but it wasn't. It was James.

From: J-Dog

Hey man. Practice finished earlier than usual. Where you at?

To: J-Dog

At the library. I'll meet you in the parking lot.

I put my phone in my pocket and collected my books before walking to the parking lot to meet up with James. I got to his car and dabbed him up.

"How was practice?" I ask him as we got in the car.

"Oh, just fine. This kid kept getting in my way though. I guess he trying to get ahead or something but it just pisses me off, you know?" As he was talking, I got a text and it was the raven-haired beauty.

From: Raven Beauty

Sounds great! I'll meet you there tomorrow morning! <3

A heart! She sent me a heart! I couldn't stop smiling and then I felt a shove to my shoulder.

"Yo, man! You listening?!" I look up and James looks at me, unamused.

"Sorry. I, uh, got a text from someone about a date." He raises his eyebrows and smiles.

"That's my man! That's great! Is she cute?" I roll my eyes.

"Yeah, man. She's absolutely stunning. She has this beautiful raven hair, stunning green eyes, plump lips, a cute accent, and she loves languages!" I express.

"She sounds like the total package for you, man! I sense something holding you back though." I sigh and nod.

"Yeah. She's....the new student teacher." James stopped the car suddenly, making me jerk forward.

"Teacher? Exactly how old is she?!" He asks, shocked.

"She's 6 years older than me, so 27." 

"Oh. Oh, I don't know why I thought she was older than that. So, you tryin' to pursue her?" 

"Yeah, I have never met someone and immediately have this connection or sense of longing so quickly before. I might never get a chance like this again and I have to see where this goes." James parks in front of my apartment and sighs.

"I can't say that I'm worried because I am. I don't want this to ruin your college career. But if she's worth it, then go for it." I smile and give him a hug.

"Thanks for the support and the ride, man," I tell him.

"You know I got you. You want a ride to your date tomorrow?" I shake my head.

"I don't have any classes tomorrow so I'll just take an Uber there, head to the grocery store and then head home." He nods.

"Well, have a good time and I'll see you later." I grab my things and get out of the car. Once inside, I throw my shit on my couch and walk into the kitchen to see about something to eat. Mmm, I know what I want to eat.  I shouldn't be thinking about her like that but fuck me, I want to taste her. And love her. And spoil her. I need this date to go well. I sighed and went to my room to find something to wear. Hmm, I like this shirt. Ooh, these pants will go great with the shirt, and these shoes. Perfect. After I laid my things out, I changed for bed. I mean, I went shirtless and was in my boxers. I stretched before climbing into bed and falling asleep.
