Mr. Officer ( A Short Jacob Latimore Story)

Chapter 6: I Like

The Next Evening

I was in my room trying on and outfit. Jacob told me to wear something nice but I didn't want to do too much. That's the only thing I hated about surprise dates. I had my sister Jackie giving me approval on what to wear or not to wear.

"Eww that's too business, you wear that on a daily basis anyways" she said. She was good with fashion; I told her how she could be a celebrity stylist but she just likes to work her 9 to 5's not killing her hustle or anything. I would just get tired of working a tired job all my life.

"How about you wear this olive dress with your nude pumps and a bun" she said shoving the dress against my body.

"Oh my gosh this is so cute.. Thanks sis" I said.

"So what time is he getting you? She asked.

"Uhh he said 8" I ensured her. She looked at her phone. "Girl its 7, has he texted you yet? She asked. "No" I said.

"Girl you better text him" she said. "He's gonna text me aight"

"Okay" she said putting her hands up in defense. I quickly placed my dress and shoes on looking in the mirror. I already beat my face because it takes hours for that; I twirled around making sure I looked perfect. "Yesssss bitch and you can wear a light little jacket" she said.

"Oh my gosh Jackie you need to be a stylist and stop playin" I whined plopping on my bed. She sighed "I guess you're right"

"Right you could be Ciara's stylist or Karrueche's, hey even Oprah you're good girl" I said.

An hour later

It was 8:10 pm and he still hasn't called or texted. I was starting to get an attitude I hate when people forget things and I hate tardiness. I was about to say fuck it and just go to a club with my friends. "Call him Tia stop being scary" she said. I rolled my eyes calling him and his phone went straight to voicemail. "He didn't answer" I said lowly.

"Give him until 8:30 Tee" she said. She even had an attitude with me. She always taught me not to deal with a guy's bullshit and cut them off in a heartbeat.

Jacob

I slowly opened my eyes, I looked around noticing it was getting dark. I looked at my phone and it said 8:18. I placed my phone down lying back down. My eyes widened and I picked my phone up back up

"Oh shit" it was going on 8:20. I told her I would be there at 8 I clock. I saw a missed call from her. I could have sworn I turned my alarm on, I hate when I oversleep . I jumped out of the bed running to the bathroom. I needed to hurry up shower and get dressed. I lathered up my body quickly with my old spice. I then quickly brushed my teeth in the shower; you know it's real when you have to brush your teeth in the shower. Once I was done I quickly wrapped a towel around.

Tia

I was sitting on the couch watching television with my sister. It was now 8:30 and I rested my arm on my chin to top it off the body guard was on and that movie gets me so emotional. My phone lit up and I jumped to it hoping it was him and in fact it was.

"It's him" I said.

"Lay his ass out" she said. I quickly picked the phone up. Not knowing if he was going to cancel or what.

"Hello"

"Tia, I didn't forget about you. I overslept so badly... I'm sorry I hope you didn't change plans" he said

"I was surely about to" I said.

"I got you, I should be there at 9 on the dot okay and if I'm not you can beat me" he laughed.

I sighed "Okayyyyy, I'll see you then "

"Okay bye" he said hanging up. I hung up placing my phone on the coffee table. I began blushing "He didn't forget about me" I smiled. "Good! That means the date better be bomb"

"He overslept" I said. "It's called alarm clock" she said. "I know but he's an officer and he was tired as hell when I was there last night so I'll give him a pass" I said.
