Finding Love In A Unorthodox Way

Chapter 6

Before going to bed last night, I agreed to go have some yogurt with Steven tomorrow morning. Good thing I didn't have work that day, which was a Saturday. I went to bed after midnight a new one for me. I am usually asleep by late ten p.m.

Before I went to bed, I let Steven know that he could text me. I wasn't much of a talker when it came to strangers.

The next day I woke up at five a.m. to my phone buzzing. I looked at it with my eyes half opened. I seen that it was a text message. I opened the message and seen that it was STEVEN. I thought why is he texting me this earlier? Too tired to think I read the message.

Steven: Hey Good morning beautiful. I was seeing if you were up.

Weird. Why is he texting me so early! On my day off as well! We were suppose to meet up at ten a.m. he could've asked me then was  my thoughts. I didn't reply. Too tired to bring my fingers to type.

A couple of hours later, my alarm blares throughout my bedroom. Signaling that I was to wake up. I looked at the time and read seven thirty. I texted Steven good morning backed and then went to shower. It was nine thirty when I was ready and heading out the door. I was wearing black skinny jeans, a red lace blouse, and red high heels. My hair was pulled into a neat bun. Right before I cranked my car up my phone buzzed. Seeing that it was a text message and from Steven again, I smiled and read it. What I read made my smile disappear.

Steven: "Hey I won't be able to make it."

I replied back me being curious.

Me: "Why not? Is everything ok?"

He sent a text a minute later.

Steven: "Something came up sorry."

After I read his text I was annoyed but understood. He could've atleast texted me this an hour ago I thought. Oh well. I'm just going to head back in and watch some tv. An hour into watching Freddy vs Jason I heard my phone buzz again. Yet another text from Steven. I read it over.

Steven: "Hey do you have a man?"

What is this dudes deal? If I had a boyfriend I wouldn't have a DATING PROFILE! Like HELLO! simple LOGIC. I texted him back.

Me: "No I don't."

Not even a minute later he replied.

Steven: "Good I want to be your man."

My eyes almost popped out of its socket. This man is really starting to freak me out. I will try and not judge him though. A half an hour passed by before I replied back.

Me: "Ok. However, we would need to meet first, to see if we have chemistry. I have requirements I want in a boyfriend."

Five minutes later he replied.

Steven: "What yo looking for in a man? Do you like my picture?"

Yo? I assume he just missed the U. I sent a texted back telling him my requirements.

Me: "Well I have four major qualities that I am looking for. Number 1: Be respectful, Number 2: Be Honest, Number 3: Be loyal, and last but NOT least have a income of his own."

He replied back a minute later. I wondered if he even read all of them.

Steven: "That's some requirements I'm wit it. Someone you dated in the past, must have been the opposite. When can I see you? Do you like my picture?"

Ok. I'm not an english genius, but can't this boy put the last letter in the words he text. Why does he keep asking if I like his picture! WAIT! Did he REALLY ask when he can see me! He would've seen me TODAY!

I was thinking this guy was a nut case. I was getting ready to send him a goodbye text message, when he beat me to it.

Steven: "Do you like my picture?"

I was bored and decided to entertain him. I replied back.
Rolling my eyes the whole time.

Me: "Yes your handsome" and, how about next Saturday?

Ten minutes went by before he replied.

Steven: "Where do you want to go?"

I texted back with the same date activity we had today. Which consisted of frozen yogurt and chatting. He replied back five minutes later.

Steven: "Am I paying or are you?"

I had to reread his text five times. Did he really just ask if I was PAYING! He was the one who asked me OUT!

After the shock wore off I hurried with my reply.

Me: "Are you joking?"

A minute later he gave his response, that consisted of two letters.

Steven: "No"

I was in a total shock. This guy has to be CRAZY. He really think I'm going to pay for our DATE!

About an hour later I gave him my response.

Me: You're taking me out. So of course you.

I received his text about fifteen minutes later. Again, it consisted of two WORDS!

Steven: "Ok"

I just shook my head and didn't reply. Throughout the day he texted me. I never answered. I didn't want to deal with his antics today.

It was eight p.m. and I was still in my date attire, minus the heels. I went to my room took my outfit off, cleaned the makeup off my face, and showered.

Instead of watching tv in the living room, I decided I needed to get on the treadmill. I know I might get sweaty and stinky after I just showered. However, I needed to clear my mind from the weird conversation with that weird man. I was proving my point about these internet men. He didn't fall into the pervert spectrum, atleast not that I knew of. He DEFINITELY fell into the weirdo category. Not wanting to judge so soon. I decided to ignore the warning signs. The tredmill didn't help me not think. If anything, being on it for the thirty minutes only made me sleepy. After, getting off the treadmill, I went to my bedroom crawled into bed and went to sleep. I had work in the morning.
