Pretty Girl's Revenge

❤Chapter 6: The Talk

Nature's POV
Today I was meeting with Hakeem to talk about the whole situation. I honestly don't understand what the hell we need to talk about.

I got up at 12:15pm Hakeem said he would meet me at Sherman's the coffee shop around the corner from Leviticus at 1pm, so I got up and got in the shower, I got out and put on my OOTD (outfit of the day) (in media), and grabbed my phone and keys. I didn't really get dressed up, cause its Hakeem. He's seen me at my worst, so it really doesn't matter what I wear.

When I was leaving out it was 12:46pm, I got in my car an pulled off. I pulled up at Sherman's, and went inside, I sat at a booth way in the back, it was now 1:00pm on the dot, and I sat down. A really cute waiter came an took my order.

"Hey, what will it be?" The waiter said. "Um, i'll just have coffee black, and hot. No cream or anything straight black, i'm gonna need it for this conversation that's about to go down" I explained laughing. "Coming right up, by the way, i'm Gabe. And your the new artist from Empire Nature right?" He said and asked. "Yeah, and nice to meet you Gabe" I said. "I know you don't get this alot and it might not be appropriate but can I get your number?" He flirted shyly. Just the Hakeem walked in, I looked at my phone and it was 1:15pm wow, 15 minutes later. New record!

"Gabe, no, i'm sorry." I said. "No, its okay I understand." He said beginning to walk off as Hakeem walked up. "But i'll take yours"I said to Gabe as he turned around smiling. I handed him my phone and he typed in his contact for a minute then handed me my phone back. "I'll be right back with your coffee gorgeous" he said. I blushed. And he walked to the back to get my drink.

"Um, what was that?" Hakeem asked jealously. "Um, Gabe came and took my order." I said. "But he gave you his number" he said getting angrier "Your not my father you know?" I said. "Yeah, whatever" he said sliding into the booth. Gabe came back with my coffee. "Be careful gorgeous, its hot just like you asked" he laughed. "You ready sir?" He asked Hakeem. "Yeah, i'll take a hot chocolate extra marshmallows." Hakeem said with a bit of attitude. "Sure thing, y'all brother an sister?" He asked me. Now he knows damn well he is not my brother. "Um, no. We kinda have a ... well I don't really know how to explain it, we have a complicated relationship." I said. Hakeem laughed "Oh, your in a relationship?" He said seeming disappointed. "No" I said. "No?" Hakeem asked disappointed. "Look, lets talk about this situation and we'll see where it goes! Then maybe.. just maybe." I said to Hakeem. "Okay" he said.

"Well just let me know, if you available" Gabe said walking off. Then coming back with Hakeem's drink.

"So, about what I said to you in the hall of our building, i'm sorry ma. I didn't mean it, I was just mad." Hakeem apologized. "Omg! Your apologizing?" I said shocked laughing. "No, but for real. I'm sorry about what I said in the hallway as well and I also wanna say sorry for slapping you" I told him. "No, ma you had every right to I shouldn't have disrespected you, and I promise to never do it again baby" he said "baby?" I said smirking. "Well, I was thinking that if this went well and we were back on good terms, that I would ask you to um... um" he said studdering. "To um?" I said. "To be my girlfriend" he said really fast. "Slow down, to what?" I asked not understanding what he said. "To be my girlfriend" he said slower, just as Gabe walked up. "Anything else" he said hearing what Hakeem asked but talking to interrupt him. "No thanks" I said to quickly to get rid of him. "Um okay. Text me later" he asked. He was truly getting annoyed with him. "I'll see." I said. "But we'd really like to finish our conversation" I said again with another attempt to get rid of him. "Okay, I guess i'll see you later gorgeous" he said walking away.

"Anway. What were you asking?" I asked Hakeem while finishing my coffee. "I asked will you be my girlfriend?" He asked with a half smile. "Really? You want me to be your girlfriend?" I asked blushing. "I know that I don't want anyone else to have you. I know that I wanna give you the world. I know that i'm starting to fall in love with you. I know that when I first seen you four months ago that I had to make you mine. I knew then and now that you mean so much to me" he said. "And I know that I never felt this way before in my life and your the only person that makes me feel this way" He said. A tear slipped out of my eye, and Hakeem's thumb wiped it away. Gabe was walking back over, and I got up walked to the other side of the booth where Hakeem was sitting and slid in with him and kissed him so passionately.

We were like that for about two minutes. I pulled away and put my hand on the side of his face while tears escaped my eyes. "Yes, yes i'll be your girlfriend" I said kissing him again. The coffee shop was now filled with aww's and clapping. Hakeem wiped my tears that fell and smiled hard and kissed me again. "So your not available" Gabe said. "Look dawg, i'm tired of your ass" Hakeem said getting up and in his face. "No, bae let's just go" I said grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the shop.

Today was the best day of my life. I got the guy of my dreams and i'm prepared to see how this goes. Wait til I tell Jamal.
