Ashanti's Pov
The day finally came for me and Alex's date. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. Being around him makes me feel so alive. I haven't been this happy in a long time.
I wake up out of bed and saw my clock read 10:00 am. I only have a few more hours until my date. I'm really not a morning person as you can see. I make my way out of bed and take a quick shower. After my shower I go over to my walk in closet and find something to wear. I remember Alex saying wear something comfortable. I lay my eyes on a pair of high waisted white shorts and a black tank top and grab hat that reads "Dope."😏👌
When I'm done getting dressed I start straight ironing my hair. I usually hate straightening my hair but I want to look extra cute today. So the work is worth it. After straightening my hair I put my hat on. Then I put on my favorite necklace that reads "Trust No Bitch." Words to live by.
I make my way downstairs and the smell of food hits my nose. I walk into the kitchen and see my aunt Jackie making bacon, scrambled eggs, and toast.
"Morning baby," says auntie Jackie.
"Good morning when did you get home? I didn't hear you come in last night.
"You know the hospital has me working all these crazy hours. Now they have me working over time I can never catch a break. We barely see each other anymore." Says auntie Jackie
"I know I miss you too. I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Asks auntie Jackie
"You know how Jojo is always trying to set me up with some guy? Well she told Ronnie to bring a friend to the club we were at. They introduced me to this guy and he's so sweet. I'm going out with him today." ☺️
"I'm so happy for you. I'm glad you're finally having some fun. You have your whole life ahead of you. I know you miss your parents, but they wouldn't want you to be sad." Says auntie Jackie
"I know Jojo said the same thing to me. That's why I'm giving Alex a chance. I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone." 😩
"Girl that would never happen. You're to pretty to be alone. Who knows maybe this guy is the one. When do I get to meet him?" 🌚 asks auntie Jackie
"I just met him myself don't scare him away life the others. You can meet him soon I promise."
"I do not scare off your boyfriends. I only get rid of the ones who are no good for you. I love you and I know what's best for you. I promised your mom that I would take care of you and that's exactly what I'm going to do." ☝️ Says auntie Jackie
"Yeah I know you've told me like a million times." 😫
"Look breakfast is ready enjoy. I made it just for you. I'm spending the day with my girls so I won't be back until later. Have fun on your date okay." Says auntie Jackie
"I will have fun with your girls. Go find yours a young boy toy."
"Oh you already know. These young boys can't get enough of me. Your auntie still got it. I don't look a day over 20." 💁 says auntie Jackie
"You're a mess. Now get out of here and go chill with your crew. Bye love you." 😘 I kiss her on the cheek before she leaves.
"Alright I'm going. Bye love you too." She walks out the room grabbing her keys on the way out.
I sit down at the kitchen table and dig in. My aunt sure knows how to throw down in the kitchen. When I'm done eating I feel stuffed.
I quickly do the dishes and go back upstairs.
I make my way to my room and hear my cellphone going off.
I grab my phone off my bed and see that it's Jojo.
"Hey boo."
"Hey girl what you doing today?" Asks Jojo
"I'm going on my date with Alex."
"Oh shoot I forgot. What time is he coming to pick you up?" Asks Jojo
"At 12:00. I'm starting to get nervous. I'm not really good at this dating thing. We all know it's been ages since I went out with a guy." 😩
"Don't stress it girl you'll be fine. Alex is really nice trust it will be fun. Then we can all double date." Says Jojo
"Hmm I don't know about all that we'll see."
"You sound like Ronnie right now. He going crazy talking about if Alex hurt you he's gonna have to hurt somebody." 😒 says Jojo
"Aww that's my nigga. I love that he always has my back. There's nothing to worry about Alex seems like such a sweetheart. He can't be that bad can he?"
"No but I will say this watch out. He got some crazy ass exes. Especially this girl named Jennifer. She's in denial swearing up and down that they still together." Says Jojo
"Oh great I really don't want any drama. Now I'm starting to regret this whole thing." 🙈
"No don't say that. Don't listen to me I'm just telling you wassup because you're my girl. Let me know how it goes. I'll talk to you later boo." Says Jojo
"Alright bye later."
I hang up the phone and hear the door bell ringing.
I go downstairs and see that it's Alex.
I open the door and let him in.
"Hey you."
"Hey beautiful."
"What are you doing here so early?"
"I decided to come a little early. I hope that's okay?" Asks Alex
"Of course I'm happy to you see you."
"Me too. You look cute." Says Alex looking me up and down.
"You good yourself."
I look Alex over and see that he's wearing some Levi jeans, a white short sleeved shirt and a orange vest. He has his SnapBack on backwards with some diamond studs earrings in his ears and some black Timbs. 😍
"You gonna show me your house?" Asks Alex breaking me out of my daydream.
"Oh yeah come on."
I grab his hand and lead him past the kitchen.
"This is the kitchen, you already saw the living room. Let's go upstairs."
Lead him upstairs and show him the guest room, my aunts room and finally my room.
"You got a nice house." Says Alex
"Thanks I can't take all the credit it's my aunt. She loves to decorate and try new styles."
"I see." Says Alex
"Enough with the whole house tour. Im ready for this surprise you have for me."
"Feisty I like that. Alright ma let's go and I'll show you." Says Alex grabbing my hand and taking me downstairs.
I grab my keys and lock the door behind me.
When we get to his car he opens the door for me.
"Nice ride."
"Thanks boo I just go it." Says Alex
I climb into his escalade and get comfortable. Alex jogs around to the other side and gets in.
"Before we leave I gotta do something. Close your eyes." Says Alex
I do as he says and close my eyes. I feel him wrap a blind fold around me.
"Know sit still and enjoy the ride." Says Alex
I feel the car start to move. All I can't think is what does he have planned.
After seems like forever I feel the car come to a complete stop.
"I'm not taking the blind folds off yet. I'm gonna take you out the car. Just hold onto me when you get out." Says Alex
I wait for him to open my car. A few minutes later he opens my door and lets me out.
"Be careful I don't want you to trip." Says Alex
I grab onto him and follow his lead. We start walking until we stop.
Alex take off my blind fold and says "Surprise you like it?"
I around and see that we're at a park. There's a blanket laying on the ground with all of my favorite foods on it. There's a bouquet of red roses and a teddy bear. Some how he even managed to set up a projection so we can watch movies. My favorite movie is playing "Save The Last Dance." 😁
"Alex this is perfect how did you know?"
"Your girl Jojo helped me out. She told me everything about you. I just wanted our first date to be special." Says Alex pulling me into his strong arms.
"This is the sweetest thing a guys ever done for me." 😪
"You deserve the best. Let's sit and enjoy this. Says Alex
We sit down and we watch the movie. Every once in a while I would look up from the movie and catch Alex staring at me.
"Why do you keep staring at me? Is there something on my face?" 😯
"No I can't help myself. You're gorgeous and I like looking at you." Says Alex
"Stop you're making me blush." 😊🙊
"You have the cutest smile." 😍🙌
"Thank you boo. So do you take all your girls here?"
"What girls? Nah only you your the first. I don't care for girls that much. My last relationship I gave my all. After My ex cheated on me I was angry. So I just hooked up with girls and that was that. Until I meet you, girl you got me going crazy over you. There's just something about you. I don't know what it is I can't explain it." Says Alex
"Would your ex happen to be Jennifer?"
"Yes why? How do you know her name?" 😳 asks Alex
"Let's just say things at around. I'm not mad or anything I was just wondering."
"Well don't worry about it she's not important. I'm trying to focus on you and me." Says Alex taking his hand in my.
"I like the sound of that." 😏
"So how am I doing so far?" Asks Alex
"You're doing great. You get some brownie points for this. The roses, the food, the movie and the teddy bear. You sure know how to make a girl feel special."
"Well your boy got skills. I like to treat my women right." Says Alex
I don't say anything I just smile and look into Alex's eyes. We stare at each other for the longest. Alex reaching over and his lips gentlest touches mine. To my surprise I don't pull away or tell him to stop.
His lips are so soft I cold kiss him all day. 😍👅👄💧
