Carmen

I got home and as soon as I stepped foot in the door Lola was bugging me with questions. Once she calmed down I told her everything that happened even to where he asked me out on a date and he might bring his friend.

After I got everything out we decided to go to the mall, I haven't been feeling cute lately, so I decided to dress up. When I was done getting dressed there was a hard knock on our room door.

I opened the door and stood there a fine ass Washington.

"Hello again Washington, how can I help you?"

"First of all, back up, you left my crib less than an hour ago looking like I blew ya back out and now you look like you ready to walk down the runway." I let him and his friend in and rolled my eyes dumb hard.

"First of all, you're not my father I can wear what I want and clearly you're not the only one on campus that wants to take me out. The difference between him and you is you waited until tomorrow, as soon as you walked away he spit some serious game and I liked that shit." Nobody asked me to go anywhere, but I figured since he already assuming shit I should give him some shit to assume.

" Who is this nigga?? Carmen don't play with me. I'll hurt a little boy."

"Oh shut up you crybaby, you not even her nigga and you tripping, from what I know if she did have a date she can still go because ain't no title on you all and ain't no ring on her finger. Anyways, come on girl, let's go to the mall, so some good niggas can ask us out." Lola interfered.

Lola walked out the dorm room and Washington's friend followed her out. I started to walk behind them, but Washington grabbed my arm and slung me to him.

"Pull your fucking shirt down." And guess what my ass did, I pulled my fucking shirt down before he could say anything else.

"You look beautiful baby, can we come to the mall with yall?"

"I don't have a problem with it, come on." I closed and locked the door and started walking down the hallway. I could feel Washington's eyes on me as I sashayed down the hallway to the steps. He caught up to me and grabbed my hand.

"Wanna go somewhere else instead?"

"Somewhere like what?"

"Do you trust me?" I honestly didn't know if I did, I mean I slept with him in his bed for crying out loud.

"Yes."

"Then come on." We went out the back door and walked all the way back to his dorm, this time next year I'm going to be a twig because all this walking.

"Washington, where are we going?" We got in his car and he started driving on a dirt path surrounded by too many trees for me.

"Washington! Look at what I have on, you brought me to the damn woods??"

"Can you just shut up damn Carmen, the one time a nigga wanna be sweet and not treat her like a hoe she starts tripping. I'm just trying to show you I'm not like these guys you're used to. The guy I used to be before I met you. Before I saw you, when you tripped over your bag I knew right then you were going to be mine. And you still will, so can you just enjoy this shit."

After he said that I just shut up and looked at the sunset. It was about 12 noon when the clouds moved out of the way of the sun.

"This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." I looked over and Washington was staring directly at me.
