I quickly retreated to the restroom to plot my course of action. Had to make it quick because my God sister would suspect something is up if I don't make it back soon.
Once I built my plan of action looking at myself in the mirror repeatedly telling myself I can do this. That certainly helped build up my self esteem because let's face it I'm definitely not the skinniest or the prettiest girl imaginable.
I'm 5'5 not the fittest person on earth either fairly large breast and a nice round bottom. I'm propionate everything falls in place. However, I don't have a flat stomach but it doesn't sit on my lap either just a lil jiggle in the middle. With light brown eyes and medium coco smooth skin. No make up ever but well kept eyebrows, lashes and some lip gloss at all times. Naturally curly hair and when straightened waste length.
So, after my final pep talk it was time for me to be about that action. I walk out of the restroom and could feel my chest pounding and the blood rushing to my ears. Like I was about to have a panic attack but I kept my composure and controlled my breathing and recited in my head. I'm amazing the worse thing he could say is NO!
As I approach the table his brother stops me and says hey look my brother wants your number and thinks you're cute. I look to my right and his brother looks as if he wanted to punch his brother in the face for saying what he just said. I giggle a little and let out a sigh of relief to know he thinks I'm cute too. SCORE!!!
His brother than goes on to introduce himself.
"My name is Tavari and my brothers name is Titus".
I reached out to shake both of there hands and replied." I'm Amiah and Titus I think you're handsome." Followed with a wink and smile.
He flashed me a smile back and took out his phone for me to put my number in. Stood there for a few more minutes talking to them and then it hit me like a rushing wind my God sister is at the table and she is going to skin me alive for leaving her so long. I politely excused myself and told Titus to call me and swiftly but calmly walked away.
As I get back to the table the look on my God sisters face was one of a possessed tiger stalking its prey. She takes in a few breaths to calm herself and says, "You went over there didn't you?" I looked at her eyes wide as ever and hesitant to respond. She proceeds to say,"For one night can't me and you just chill no men just us but no you get googly eyed and it becomes a I must have him with disregards to others around you." As I was going to speak she holds up her hand signifying for me to save it she doesn't want to hear it.
After a few minutes of sitting in silence curiosity got the best of her and she asks," So, did you get his number?" I couldn't keep a straight face nor contain my laughter. The look she gave me for laughing made me laugh even harder. "Yes, I got his number and I'm sorry but I think he could be the one and this opportunity may not present itself again. I know you've seen me do this a lot but he seems different than the rest and I think this could work plus it'll give us a reason to come back and forth to California."
We laugh and chat as we wait for the bill to come but the waitress said it was already paid and we could go ahead and leave. Something told me to look at my phone and the texts reads.
"Amiah this is Titus I paid for you and your friends dinner next one is on you 😉"
My reply, Thank you, we appreciate it and for sure just next time it'll be dinner for just me and you 😌😏.
My God sister her name by the way is Tanielle
Tanielle asks, "Who are you texting?"
I say, "Titus, he paid for dinner that's why we never got the check but he says next time it's on me, so, I said thank you and that I got next."We leave the restaurant and the relationship between me and Titus grew over the next few months. We talked about every day and then all of a sudden me one day I attempted to call and got the emphasis message of the number no longer being in service. Five years pass and lots of heartbreak between those years.
