~Teach Me How To Love~

~One~

Tatiana sat at her desk, trying to decide whether or not if the last answer on her test was C or A. They were both excellent choices, but only one of them was the right choice. This was something that everyone faced during this test. Especially on the last question, it was usually a trick question. Those were the ones that you had to be careful about.

After minutes of just staring at the two possible answer choices, Tatiana finally decided on picking A, hoping that it was the right answer. She looked up at the clock, and it was just a minute before the bell rang. Soon she would have to rush to her dorm room and change into her clothes for work

She worked at a retirement home where her grandmother stays over on the west side of Chicago. Tatiana only had forty minutes to get to work, so she had to be quick about it.

Once the bell rang, she turned in her test and was the first one out of the classroom. Her dorm wasn't far at all, so she made it there in no time. It was just getting to the retirement home that was going to be the struggle.

Her best friend, Nicole, was already in the room layed up with her boyfriend, Michael. He was sleep, but Nicole was wide awake, looking at who knows what on Facebook.

"Hey, Tati," Nicole greeted her by her nickname, "How was that AP test?"

"Wonderful," Tatiana answered sarcastically, not wanting to speak about the test. It gave her a headache just thinking about it.

She walked into the bathroom and changed into her uniform.
Once out of the bathroom Nicole was fully sitting up

"You didn't go to class or somethin'?" Tatiana asked, now curious.

"Nah, I wanted to chill with my baby," she smiled, looking down at her sleeping boyfriend.

Tatiana rolled her eyes and said nothing. She continued to mind her business, Tatiana knew about how Michael got around, and she tried to warn Nicole, but she just wouldn't listen.

Nicole thought that she was just trying to break them up since Tatiana has never been in a relationship and that she thought men were a waste of time.

That wasn't the case at all.

Michael isn't the relationship type of person. He rather have relations than relationships two different things.

Altogether, while Nicole has been with Michael, he's been in bed with seven different girls behind her back. Tatiana knew all about them, and since Nicole wouldn't listen to her about him, she just decided to let her figure out the hard way.

"Tatiana Michael is not the bad guy that you think he is. He's completely faithful" Nicole assured her

He's not the faithful guy that you think he is. Is what she wanted to say, but she didn't have time to hear her mouth.

"You're right. But listen, I have to go before traffic gets bad," Tatiana said as she grabbed her purse and phone off her bed and headed out of the door.

She now had 35 minutes to get to work on time.

Nicole shook Michael to wake him up. He had been sleeping ever since they got done doing lord knows what.

"What?" Micheal grumbled as he turned over on his side away from her.
"How long are you going to be sleep? Its been two hours."

Michael didn't answer; he just closed his eyes and went back to sleep; he always seems to ignore Nicole whenever shed ask him a question.

Getting off of the bed, Nicole grabbed her shoes and headed out of the room. She decided to take a walk outside for a little while to get some air.
After she got outside, she noticed that Tatiana had just pulled out of the parking lot.
Her stomach growled, signaling that she was hungry. There's a McDonald's across from the college, so she decided to grab a bite to eat from there.

After ordering her food. She sat down at the booth and ate. There was a group of students from her school coming in most of the guys were on the football team, and the females were just a bunch of groupies. One of the guys noticed her sitting by herself, trying not to make eye contact Nicole looked down at her phone, pretending to text somebody.
He walked over to her and sat across from her. Nicole found him very attractive; he had a fresh cut with waves. His teeth were perfect and white, and even though it wasn't anything special, he dressed nicely. In his white T-shirt that clearly showed his muscles, he had on True Religion Brand jeans and fresh right out the white box Nikes.

He's gorgeous. She thought, but she had to remember that she had a boyfriend

"Why you sittin' over here by yourself?" He asked her while cracking the most beautiful smile that she had ever seen.

"Oh. Nothing. No reason I just wanted to be alone," she stumbled over her choice of words. He chuckled.

"What's your name?"
"Nicole" She couldn't help but to smile at his beautiful face

"Mines Danté" He introduced himself  "Nice to meet you, Nicole, don't you go to-
"CSU, yes, I do."

"I knew I'd seen your pretty face somewhere" Danté began to flirt

"Are you trying to flirt with me?" She giggled almost flirting back

"Maybe" He laughed
"Well, I'm sorry, but I have a boyfriend."

Danté took a fry from her bag and ate it
he's even sexy when he eats she thought to herself

"That's cool we can still be friends can't we?" he asked her
"Yeah, of course," She said, then an idea came to mind, "um my best friend is looking for a boyfriend."

"Sounds interesting," he smirked, "Is she as pretty as you?"

"Prettier" Nicole insisted

She was determined to get Tatiana into a relationship. She's been single for too long. She hasn't even had her first kiss yet, and she's a freshman in college. That doesn't even sound real, but nevertheless. It is. Nicole couldn't believe that her best friend has never been in a relationship; it didn't seem right. Nicole didn't even see how that was even possible.

"Is she?" Danté asked, now interested, "does she go to school with us?"

"Yeah"
"Ahh, so she smart too. I like me a smart, sophisticated woman."

Danté was now very interested in meeting Nicole's friend so far from what Nicole was telling her. She sounded lovely. But he was looking for no relationship
Nicole spent about 20 minutes explaining to Danté about Tatiana

After they exchanged numbers, Nicole headed back to her dorm, feeling somewhat accomplished about the first part of her plan.

Michael was sitting up on the bed, waiting for Nicole, "Where the hell did you go?" He asked irritated
"I went to McDonald's."
"For almost an hour?" he asked

Nicole rolled her eyes and ignored his question. She handed him his now cold food

"I asked a question."
"I was talking to some friends baby relax" She kissed him on his lips, and he relaxed a little

"You could have at least told me that you were leaving," he told her as he placed the food in the microwave.

Nicole sucked her teeth and looked over at him "Well you wouldn't listen to me, so I just left "
"Your right, my bad" Once his food was warmed up, he took it out the microwave and left out of the dorm room without even saying bye to Nicole.

She placed her face in the pillow and screamed in frustration.

Why is he so difficult?
