A Bittersweet Life

"So who are y'all bringing to the Valentine's Day party?"

"Don't you need a valentine for that?" Deanna and I laughed

"Well are you?"

"If the good lord sends me a date before then, then sure I'll go"

"Same here"

"Well I'll be waiting for that miracle to happen"

"Well we greatly appreciate it, Tiff" I spoke sarcastically

"Besides, their doing something with best dressed valentine's and if not me, I want one of you hoes to win"

"Now you know good and well I don't care anything about that"

"Why the hell not?"

"You know these things are nothing but popularity contests. It'll feel like our senior prom all over again"

"Remember that? Stephanie and Michael won and you know she always thought that their relationship was the shit because she was cheer captain and he was basketball captain"

"Until she caught Michael with Apryl in the janitor's closet"

"And I always knew she was-" I was cut off when I saw the guy Keith that I met inside of the art store and at Roscoe's with another guy beside him. I might've been staring a little too long because he looked at me, waving with that nice smile of his

Smiling, I placed my head down and knew my face was bright red.

"What's got you blushing?"

"Nothing"

"Bullshit. Who is it?" Deanna asked

"Okay, don't look too fast. It's the guy to the back sitting at the two-seat table" I watched as they turned around and looked at him. Tiffany looked impressed, meanwhile Deanna's eyes were widened

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Did you say back table two seats?"

"Yeah"

"Oh shit"

"What? What is it?"

"Remember the guy from the store I was just telling yall about?"

"Yeah"

"That's him sitting over there with your guy that you told us about"

"No way"

"Creepy dude from the store?" Tiff asked while Dede nodded

"To be a creep he sure is fine"

"Okay" Tiff agreed

"So guys, can we decide what we want to order?" She stuck her head inside of the menu

"Uh, you may not want to do that"

"Why not?"

"Mr. Creep is making his way over here"

"Along with Keith" Tiffany warned. I looked up and mentally cursed to myself. I didn't even see him stand up.

"Pardon me ladies" Looking up I took in a tall Keith and mentally thanked the lord himself.

"Hey"

"I remembered you from the art supply store and thought I'd come over and say wassup"

"Well I'm glad you remembered me, I did as well. These are my best friends Deanna and Tiffany"

"Nice to meet you ladies" He said then chocolate man behind him cleared his throat

"Sorry, this is my brother, Lance"

"Nice to meet you, Lance" Tiff and I said in unison while Deanna stayed mute. Giving her a kick under the table, she finally came back to earth

"Nice to meet you, Lance"

"Hey, aren't you the woman I seen in the grocery store?"

"Guilty"

"Nice seeing you again"

"Sorry if I seemed a little weird, I just didn't know what to say"

"I understand"

"So I see you ladies are having your time, so we're going to head back to our seats. Is there a way we can contact you?"

"Yeah, sure" I said giving him my phone as he gave me his. I smiled as Deanna and Lance did the same.

"I'm happy for y'all" Tiffany spoke once they left us.

"Happy about what?"

"Y'all got rid of them fuck boys and now y'all onto better things"

"Your mind just be out there, Tiff. I'm telling you"

"Alright, but when y'all end up pregnant and married I'm gon be right there to say I told you so"

"You're the queen of I told you so's"

"Alright, I'm just gon mind my single business until the time comes"

"Tiff you need to find somebody or let somebody find you"

"Well if y'all must know, my mama's been tryna set me up again"

"Really?"

"Yeah, she invited me over for dinner Sunday because of her new neighbors that just moved in"

"Mama Sheryl need to stop, still tryna play matchmaker" I said laughing aloud

"Right! Remember she tried to hook me up with Ms. Lydia's grandson? The worst"

"Wait, why didn't that work out?"

"He would call me literally one hundred times a day. That was the main reason behind me changing my number"

"Good thing he didn't know where you lived"

"I'd probably have to tase his crazy ass"

"He'll probably hand you the taser himself" We all laughed and our food arrived.

After enjoying the rest of the day with the girls, I finally made it home to my bed. After my shower, I got right into bed and closed my eyes.

Hearing my phone vibrate on the night stand I reached for it to see that I had a message from Keith.

Hope you had a good day. Goodnight, beautiful.

Smiling, I replied and placed my phone back down, finally going to sleep.
