Everything is different now that I am on my own. I step into the cool air on a late Saturday night with my Michael Kors in hand. My best friend , Mya, is standing next to me in a pink cocktail dress that is barely covering her up. "Okay so the dude is totally cute girl," I follow her into an upscale restaurant that looks way too expensive for my taste. Tonight I am going on a blind date that Mya set up for me. I don't want a boyfriend but she is dating this guy and apparently his cousin is fine so I decided to go. I'm not interested though, so I look down as we enter through the revolving doors. Mya walks to the front desk and takes out a card out of her cobalt blue Kate Spade. "Reservations for Mya DeAngelis please," Mya turns back to me and winks. "Sometimes you have to act the part ," she laughs and applies her MAC gloss on her perfectly bow shaped lips. I'm pretty simple , Jays and jeans are fine with me but that's not acceptable tonight according to Mya. The waiter leads us back to a tiny booth in the corner and Mya tips him for VIP seating. Candles light up the table and glasses of water sit there, showing me my reflection. When we sit down, Mya starts to fix my hair and the chest part of my dress. "Make them thangs stand out girl! You have the perfect size. Ugh your so sexy I'm jelly ," Mya rolls her eyes and I giggle. "This dress is too tight , I want to go change," I squirm in my seat and Mya doesn't get up to let me out of the booth. "No, it's a body con silly ! Ooh here they come ," Mya switches over to the other side of the tiny booth and fixes her hair. We are the complete opposite. Mya is the more high maintenance girly girl and I'm the more chill, outgoing girl who likes to eat Shake Shack and McDonald's. I will do anything for her and she knows it , that's why I'm here. A tall guy wearing stuff that would cost me a lifetime walks towards our booth with another tall guy behind him. The guy behind him smiles at me and Mya , and his smile is so familiar. He's dressed in a black leather jacket with black jeans and white red shoes. He caught my attention immediately and I knocked my water glass over. "Hi Tinashe," he smiles at me and I almost faint in my seat. "We need to go to the bathroom," I pull Mya up and drag her to the restroom. When we walk into the small space , Mya shrugs out of my grip and rolls her eyes laughing. "What?" She places her hands on her hips and pokes her lip out. She was still laughing and she nearly fell over in laughter. "This is not funny!" I stomp my foot and squint my eyes at her. "You don't like the guy I set you up with? Every girl is dying to have this moment Tee." I point a shaky finger at the restroom door, "That's not just a guy that's Chris Brown!"
