The Teacher

24

"This is a nice restaurant" I said as we walked in. It was an an upscale Italian restaurant in Orland Park.

"Yeah. That's why we came here. Reservations for Roberts." He said to the lady.

"Right this way." She said and we followed her to the back area of the restaurant. There were many couples sitting around while the sound if the jazz band drifted between the area. We sat down and the lady gave us our menus. He looked at me and I looked at him. He smiled and I blushed.

"So. Tell me about yourself" I asked him.

"Well, I am a lawyer. I have no kids and I'm looking for I'm looking for a beautiful woman like yourself." I blushed again.

"Tell me about yourself."

"I'm a Professor at  Chicago State. I do have kids. I have 3 of them and I'm not really sure if I'm in a relationship or not. I love music. Like if I wouldn't have became a teacher I would have became a singer or a dancer."

"Hmmm... I like music. I've made a couple of songs myself. But I don't dance. I can't dance."

"Oh." was all I said before drifting off into deep thought. I Thought about Aaron and Felix and what they were doing right now. I know Aaron misses me. He's been blowing up my phone for the past 29 hours. But I'm done with his ass.

"Jewel." He waved his hand in my face.

"Sorry... I was just thinking about something."

"That's cool." He bit his lip and looked down at the menu. I could tell he was a little nervous.

"So um.... What are you getting ?" He asked me.

"Err.. Probably the Alfredo pasta with chicken"

"I'm getting the cioppino" (AN: I don't even know how to pronounce that shit. I got it off of Wikipedia. LMAO)

"That's sounds disgusting ass hell." I said turning up my face.

"I like trying new things. It's like a fish stew with fish, clams, tomatoes and other stuff."

"Aw." I said and the waitress came back to our table. We ordered our food and she left. It was quiet at the table except for the music that played in the background.

"So um.." I said breaking the silence

"Uh... What's your favorite condom color?" I asked just thinking if anything. Sometimes I could be stupid ass hell. He chuckled.

"Well I haven't had sex in like  25 years" he said I raised my eyebrow.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Wow. You're so.. So.... I don't know . How could you have not haven sex in 25 years"

He laughed before smiling. "I'm waiting for the right woman. Again. The first woman I had sex was with was kinda crazy. She was crazy. She had dropped a  roffie in my drink and she had sex with me. "

"Wow.. I'm so sorry to hear that."

"It's all good. Me and the girl still cool to this day."

"How can you be still friends with that bitch.. She took your virginity from you."

"True but I can't hate people for what they do. I can't be a stubborn brat and hate that person for ever. " The waitress brung the food back and we ate and talked and laughed.
Jordan was a great guy and I wouldn't mine seeing him again.

"Well this is it." He said when we stopped in front of my house.

"Yep." I said and unbuckled my seatbelt.

"I would love to see you again. If that's okay with you?" He asked.

"That would be great. I had a great time tonight."

"Me too." He leaned over to peck my cheek. I blushed. "What was that for?"

"Nothing. Just a goodbye kiss." He smiled and caressed my cheek.

"I'll see you later okay. You got my number." I got out the car and waved bye to Jordan as he pulled off. I smiled to myself as I unlocked my door. I flicked on the lights and guess who was sitting there..... Aaron.
