I felt him walk me to my door; I had a million butterflies running through my stomach. He's everything a girl could ask for; he's a gentleman, has a little sense of humor, protective, nice and woke. Woke about all the issues going on in society. He tops my ex boyfriend honestly, I was kind of sad because I didn't want the date to end. I wanted to be wrapped under his strong arms all day long. But we both had to go to work in the morning. I let go of his hand.
"I had a really good time with you officer? I smirked.
"Me too, Tia" he said giving me a hug. He then let go and I grabbed my key out of my purse and began fumbling with them on purpose. I finally opened the door stepping half way in.
"So I'll call you in the morning" he smiled. "Okay thanks again" I smiled watching him go downstairs. I closed the door leaning against it. I closed my eyes just thinking about the date.
"So I'm guessing you had a great time? Jackie laughed. I quickly opened my eyes in embarrassment. "Oh, I thought you were home" I said.
"I got a little comfortable" she laughed walking over to the kitchen. I followed her to grab a vase from over the counter. I grabbed it filling it with water.
"So how did it go? Jackie asked sitting on the stool. I sighed in awe "It was everything , so I went outside and he was there waiting for me with a bouquet of flowers"
"Yeah cuz his ass was late" she laughed.
"And then we went to this nice Italian restaurant but then I saw Alix there "
"Ugh that phony ex friend you had. I swear she has issues " Jackie said rolling her eyes.
"It's crazy how we used to be friends anyways, comes to find out that's Jacob's ex and that messed me up for a couple of minutes" I whined.
"I don't know why you let that girl get to you" she said opening the candy container. Grabbing my last bag of skittles.
"Cuz she steals everyone's boyfriends, she went out with the guy. I told her I had a crush on in 11th grade. She just wants everything someone has and then that fight we got into" I explained.
Jackie rolled her eyes "You didn't need Raymond anyway he was a fuck boy. Stop comparing yourself all the time. Girl you are a judge with two luxury cars and she's probably a cashier at target" she said and I began to laugh.
"I never said I was, I just! I just feel like she's not done with him and I really like him Jackie"
"Maybe she is up to something Tia, you never know just don't fall too hard. Make sure you date other guys as well. I just don't want you to get hurt again, shit I even cried for you when Santana did that low shit"
"I won't" I said. "Okay so what else happened? She asked. "So after we ate we went to the park and I asked about his relationship with her and he told me that's his ex and he explained the whole situation to me and I told him about my last relationship. Then out of the blue he lifted me up and girl I was blushing hard"
Then he kissed me"
"Awwww he kissed you" she smiled.
"Yes"
"Was it sloppy, rough, firm, or soft or was it that girl I'm bout to fuck the shit out of you kiss" she laughed.
"You freak, and no It was a soft kiss, one of those kisses in a romantic movie" I smiled closing my eyes twirling around.
"Oh God, you're always in la la land" she laughed. "Whatever" I smiled grabbing my vase and walked to my room. I placed my vase on my night stand. And plopped on my bed kicking my heels off. I laid there thinking about our date again and thinking about the next one. I thought about what Jackie told me. I kinda was always intimidated by her when I was younger. And I have no idea why besides the fact that she was a boyfriend stealer and attention seeking girl. I looked over at phone and checked my voice mail.
Beep
"Girl, you are all over tumblr and Twitter"
I rolled my eyes, I was so over that situation it happened already. I'm just thankful no one knows my identity besides the fact that I was an overly intoxicated black woman. I listened to the next message
"Hello, Ms. Love
This is Clara from the sperm clinic. I was just calling to clarify your procedure which is two months from now. June 10, 2016. Okay have a great day good bye!
My eyes widened after listening to the message. I was debating if I should really go through this process. I'm just ready to start my own family and I want to be happy. I always wanted to be a mother and ever since the situation happened with my fiancé I've been in a rush to force a family. I know it isn't right but my biological clock is ticking. I had a lot to think about.
The Next Day
"So let me find out my nigga, took my advice and went out on a date with that dime" Daniel said playfully pushing my arm.
"Yesss, I did are you happy? I chuckled.
"How was it? He asked. "It was cool, I like her. She's quirky and cute" I said. "What did she wear? Daniel asked. "None of your business Negro" I laughed.
"Nah but she had on this green tight fitted dress hugging her curves and these nude heels and her hair was in a messy bun. She looked good man ,kind of matched my fly "
"Ummmm she sounds like a keeper."
"I know right, and guess who I ran into" I whined.
"Who Alix? He guessed quickly.
"Damn how'd you know? I laughed. "She gets around, not like that she's just always somewhere" he explained.
"Yeah and Tia knows her, she told me she fought her 11th grade. "
"Damnnnnn the world is so damn small" he laughed taking a sip of his coffee.
We were literally sitting in the car across from the FYE. That dumb group Rae Sremmurd was having a meet and greet. And they needed extra back up.
"I hope you're not getting any ideas? He asked looking over at me.
"No, man" I said
"You're lying" he laughed.
"I'm slowly getting over her okay but that doesn't mean I'm gonna get with her. I'm gonna try it with Tia. I like her she's dope" I explained.
"You better nigga, or I'll be up next" he joked. "Yeah okay, you thought! Matter of fact let me call her" I said grabbing my phone. "The biddies are going crazy" Daniel said. I placed my phone back down and got out of the car grabbing my walked talkie. We walked to the black Cadillac truck waiting for them to get out.
"I need you ladies to step back" I shouted.
"Step back" Daniel said. We were trying to tame the crowd so they could walk peacefully in the store. I remember days like these , I remember I had the biggest crush on those girls from 3lw and I was in a line for a meet and greet. I swore to the heavens I would marry Adrienne Bailon.
Tia
"Your honor, he's lying? He has no proof that I ruined his car.
"Mr. Clark, do you have evidence, that Mr. Wilson in fact damaged your car? I asked. I looked down at my watch and I was ready to go home. I've had the longest cases today.
"Yes your honor in fact I do" he said taking his pictures from out of his bag. My bailiff walked over to grab his pictures and handed them to me. I looked at the photos of the busted windows, and flat tires. It was in fact evidence; I could laugh to myself how much the defendants make fools of themselves.
"This is in fact evidence Mr. Wilson. Judgment for the plaintiff two thousand dollars that's alI. Have a nice day" I said hitting my gavel on the table. "Thank you your honor" he sighed in relief.
I left the court room and walked to my office. Hanging my robe up, I noticed each time that I walk in here to work. I automatically would catch an attitude. I was beginning to think maybe I should try a different field. I heard my phone ring and I quickly grabbed it hoping it was Jacob. It was an unknown number but I picked it up anyways.
"H-hello"
"Hi, is this Tia? I heard a familiar voice ask.
"Yes, this is she. May I ask who this is?
"This is Alix" my eyes widened at the name. Why on earth would she want to contact me?
"Hey" I said uninterested. "Hi, I know you may think it's weird of me calling you and everything but when I saw you the other day. It made me want to reach out and just catch up. How about we meet and have coffee if that's okay with you? She asked. I was relays surprised but then I starting thinking what is there to talk about. Or does she just wanna be noisy and wonder why I'm dating her ex? I kind of wanted to see where her head was at being that are in our late twenties now.
"Uh yea sure what time? I asked. "Is 1:30 okay? She asked. I looked at the time and it was 12:45."Yes, where? I asked ready to plug the address in my phone.
"Zekes coffee shop, the only one in Manhattan" she chucked. "Okay I'll see you there" I ensured her.
"Okay bye" she said hanging up. I hung up the phone placing it back in my pocket. If Alix came to start drama she had another thing coming. I grabbed my purse and headed out of the building.1:30 pm
I walked in the coffee shop taking my classes off. I looked around until I heard a woman call my name. And I knew it was her. I turned around to see Alix waving. I fakely smiled walking over towards her.
"Hey" I said sitting down across from her. "Hey girl" she smiled sitting down. I placed my purse near the window.
"I was surprised you called" I said.
"Yeah I just wanted us to catch up especially since I saw you Saturday.
"Yeah I was wondering why you wanted to hang all of sudden"
"No I've been trying to reach you for a while" she said. And I knew she was lying.
"I got one of your favorites, she said looking down at the cup."Hella sugar and extra cream" she laughed. I tasted it "Yup, that's the way I like it. Thank you" I said.
"How are you though? I asked. "I'm doing great; I'm a professor at NYU. I teach business and finance. And I have a boyfriend" she smiled.
"Oh really? I said lifting my brows. About time she has someone of her own. "How about you? She asked.
"Well, I'm a judge at the Supreme Court up the street" I said. "Oh that's great; I forgot you were always into the legal system "
"Yup and I'm single and dating" I smirked taking a sip from my mug. "That explains why I saw you with my ex" she chuckled. And I became a little annoyed with her comment, she's an ex for a reason.
"Yes, we're just getting to know each other "I said. "Girl, one thing about Jacob is he's so damn busy, he literally puts his job before everyone else. Woman to woman, I'm just letting you know"
