4 a.m. (Urban fiction)

The Perfect Stranger

Ali'ah P.O.V

I had just finished going over some papers in the office when i realized it was time for my lunch. I left the office heading to the front of the store.

"Hey girls im headed out for lunch, make sure you keep and eye on the store and restock shelves. I'll be back in a hour."

I turned to leave, as i got into the car my phone buzzed indicating i had a message. Grabbing my phone i opened the message which was from Travis.

Travis: hey are you busy?

Me: Umm...actually i was headed for lunch, why whassup?

Travis: I kind of need your help, could i join you?

Me: Ok meet me at the gumbo spot on the east, ill be there in 15

Travis: Im right around the corner, see you there.

I started the car and sped off. When i pulled up i got out at the front and let valet do the parking. Entering the building i scanned the floor for Travis, i spotted him at the bar with a glass in his hand. Proceeding towards him i took a seat next to him and ordered me a drink.

"Hey travis" i said as i took my seat

"Hey im sorry to bother you on your lunch but i promise their is good reasoning behind it."

"Ok well whats going on?"

"Well you know im kind of feeling your friend, i asked her out and even though she has rejected me twice, i still wanna take her out. Since she is your bestfriend i was hoping you could help me?" Travis answered before taking another sip of the double shot dulce he ordered.

I was shocked at how he seemed to be in love with my bestfriend as he spoke about her. I was happy that i may have found a true love for my bestfriend, she needs it especially after her last boyfriend, their was something off about their relationship and i knew my bestfriend was hiding something from me and she was not good at it. I knew khalil was putting his hands on my bestfriend i was just waiting on A.M. to tell me and yet she hasnt. Why? i dont know maybe because of how i never hold my tongue and she knows i can make one phone call and that nigga is dead. I took a sip from my apple martini and turned to travis.

"Honestly, ive been hoping and praying for someone to scoop my bestfriend off her feet, and because i know you are a good guy i will gladly help you. What did you have in mind?"

We continued to discuss the plans of their date until my lunch was over and i returned to work.
