"OMG!! OMG!! Dimitri, I've been dying to meet you!" Flo shrieked. She extended her hand and grabbed hold of dimitri's, shaking it vigorously.

"It's nice to meet you too, Ms...."

"Florentine. But you can call me Flo. Or babe. Or whatever you want," she said, laughing nervously.

She continued to hold his hand and smile as we entered my house. They both sat on my sofa and I sat on an armchair opposite them.

"So Ms. Florentine," Dimitri said, looking uncomfortable, "tell me about yourself."

Flo seemed overly joyed when she said, "Well, I'm single, beautiful, sexy, and single. I like handsome, sexy, rich men. Like you, babe." She trailed a finger down his chest and bit her brightly painted lip.

"Good to know," Dimitri said with an uncomfortable smile. "Can I please have my hand back?" He withdrew his hand and got up.

"Vivica, I had a really nice time today. Maybe tomorrow we can go to one of those beautiful hotels. Well, I have to go call my mother so see y'all tomorrow," he said, smiling a little as he hurried through the door.

When he was gone, I gave Flo the look.

"What did I do?" She said, as if she didn't know.

"You can call me babe? Really?" I said.

"Well he can," she answered. "He is muy caliente! I can't believe you got to spend a whole day with him! How was it?"

"It was ok, I guess," I said, trying to make it seem less than it really was.

"You're like the opposite of me," she scolded. "If it were me we would have probably been married by now! I'm going to go ask him out right now." She got up and headed towards the door.

I smiled widely and said "Are you sure you want to do that? No offence but I think you're the reason he rushed out."

"Haha," she said, sarcastically. "If anyone made him run its you." She opened the door and left.

I smiled to myself as I made my way up to the bathroom to take a shower. That was one crazy girl!

I was hardly there for a minute when there was a rap on my door. Exasperated I went to open it. It was Flo.

"Let me guess," I said. "He heard you knocking but decided to ignore your annoying ass?" I laughed.

"For your information he did not hear me, he was asleep," she said matter-of-factly.

"I know," I said sarcastically, patting her shoulder. "I know."

"Whatever," she hissed. "Anyways, I'm going home, but I will definitely be back first thing tomorrow." She gave me a quick hug and left.

I returned to the bathroom and removed my clothes. Then I had the craziest imagery: I was standing here with my clothes off when I heard someone clapping in the bathroom doorway. I turned around and saw Dimitri starting at me and smirking. I shuddered at the thought and hurriedly locked the bathroom door then pulled a stand infront of it.

After washing and drying my hair and bathing, I got dressed and went to the kitchen to grab a snack. All I had was a jumbo-sized cheese puffs. Amazing.

It was about 7:30 and I was sitting on my sofa watching a movie when I heard someone knocking on my door.

"Who is it?" I asked impatiently.

"It's Dimitri," came the answer.

What the hell did he want? I sighed and went to open the door.

"How can I help you?" I asked him.

"I'm bored," he said. "Is there anything here to do?"

"No," I said, annoyed. Can't he find something to do at his own place? "I was just watching TV."

"Care if I join you?" He asked hopefully.

I was taken aback by his request and gave him an arched brow look.

"A movie is never as interesting when watched alone as when watched with someone else," he said intelligently.

I didn't want to be a bad neighbor so I stepped aside and let him in. "You can stay for a while," I said. "I'll be going to bed soon, though."

He entered and I locked the door. He sat on one end of the sofa and I sat on the other. We turned our attentions to the television.

I tried to concentrate on the movie but constantly felt his eyes burning into my skin.

About half an hour of silence passed. I shifted uncomfortably and glanced sideways at Dimitri. His eyes seemed focused on the screen.

I then remembered the half eaten bag of cheese puffs I had left on a small table near the sofa when I went to open the door. I took it up and resumed eating it.

I looked up and saw Dimitri staring at me.

"What," I asked between bites.

"Nothing," he said softly but continued to stare.

"Then why are you staring at me like that?" I asked.

"Because you're beautiful," he said casually, like he was talking about the weather.

I was surprised to hear him say that. I felt like a teenager with all the butterflies flying around in my stomach.

"Ok," I said nervously. It was all I could manage to say.

"I'm serious," he said. "Your man is very lucky to have you."

For some crazy reason my heart did a little flip and I smiled.

I stared back at him. Our eyes locked. My heart was running wild and warmth moved rapidly throughout my body.

The sound of the television stopped as the lights went out.
