My (room) mate -On Hold-

I seen him

When my plane landed at LAX I grabbed my luggage and I looked for the lady who is supposed to have my name card.
"oh there she is " I said as I walked over to a girl who was in her late twenties.
"hello, you're Lalani?"
"in the flesh"
"come on ma'am lets hurry to the car so that I can get you to your apartment without getting held up in the traffic, oh and my name is Rosey I'll be your adviser for a week while you get settled in your new place." we went to the car and I put my large bag in the trunk as other men came with my other things and put them on top of the truck. It took about 30 minutes to get to my apartment building and when I got there I was apointed to my apartment and my place was already furnished with couches a bed in both of the bedrooms and there were bed sets on both of the beds.
"this apartment is huge and this is really only for me?"
Rosey: "your mom didnt tell you?"
"tell me what?"
"that you have to find a roommate to help you pay the rent, and you only have a week to find one " she said as she looked down.
"what?! How am I supposed to do that?"
"well your mom told me that you are a people person and that it shouldn't be that hard for you to find a roommate, she printed flyers so that u can hang them up and people can take a little paper and call you to ask about it."
"well I guess that helps a little but man a roomate?"
The men were done putting my things away and they had left and it was only me and Rosey in the apartment. I slumped down on the couch and put my feet on the cofee table.
" alright ma'am are you all set ? I'll be just down the hall if you have any further questions "
"thank you some much, that'll be all for now, I'll definitely have more questions but im going into town and start posting these flyers. The sooner the better right?"
"thats the spirit "
"oh there is one more thing did my mom arrange for me to get a car?"
"oh I almost forgot here are your car keys." she threw to me some keys that had a pink L and two apartment keys and keys to a Rolls-Royce, I had a Toyota camery back home even though I could afford a bently or Rolls-Royce   I chose not to buy them.
"wow thanks"
"no problem I'll see you later."
"bye"
I changed my clothes and put on something a little more comfortable and I grabbed my memory foam sketchers and slid those on and got my car keys and the flyers and tape and left out the door.
The first place I went to was starbucks. I taped the flyer up and cut the dotted lines so that people can rip off my number more easily. I went inside of the shop and I seen him. He was tall and had skin so silky and caramel I swear if my heart wasnt still hurting and there was no one in there I wouldve hoped on top of him with no hesitations but I couldn't. He was last in line so I got behind him and he turned around and asked me "hey you wanna get in front of me?" I couldn't say anything because I was taken back by how deep and sexy his voice was I was literally melting as the words rolled off his tongue. "hello are you alright"
"yeah I'm sorry I was looking at the menu , what did you say again?"
"do you wanna get in front of me?"
"yes thank you " I said as I got in front of him. Then I turned around because i felt his eyes on my ass. "so kind gentleman whats your name?"
" why you gonna try and find me and kill me " he laughed as he fixed his large back pack up on his shoulder .
"hmm.. maybe so I'd like to get that name, so I can find you and kill you"
"you're funny, my name is Ryan but you miss you can call me Ry" he took my hand and kissed it man I was really about to die he was so sexy and the way he kissed my hand so gently for such a tall man I wanted to let him cover me and tell me everything was alright that he understood my pain and he could make it feel better but what was I saying I only know his nane that doesn't mean I'll see him again. "man u smooth, I guess you're wondering what my name is"
"yeah I am" we moved up in line and I was next so I left him hanging and I turned to the cashier and I immediately felt him looking at my ass again but I liked it this time.
cashier:"good morning ma'am what can I get for you today"
"hmm... I'll have the pink lemonade with green tea boba "
cashier: "okay that'll be 9 dollars what is your name?"
I looked back at Ryan and said, "listen kay"
"ight ma"
"my name is Lalani "
cashier can you spell it out?" I grabbed a napkin and got a small pencil from my hair and wrote down my name and number.
"it's L A L A N I ." and I handed Ryan the napkin. he took it and put it in the pocket of his flannel shirt.
cashier: "here you go ma'am " and I handed her a 10 dollar bill.
"you can keep the change thankyou" and before Ryan could go I said "if you wanna continue talking meet me out side I'll be waiting " and I walked away I could feel his eyes still on my ass and I licked my tongue out "I still got it"
About thirty seconds later I was just on my phone texting my mom to tell her that everything was going good and I appreciate all that she has done for me and I offered to pay her back but she insisted on saying no and she said I can pay her back by meeting a fine gentleman amd bring him back home with me. I told her that that just might be in the works, Ryan tapped me on my shoulder.
"I knew you would talk to me again"
"how you knew that?" he said as he sat down in front of me.
" by the way you were watching my ass as I walked out the shop"
"what can I say I like what I see" he said biting his lip. man I wanted to kiss him. "oh really?"
"yeah I love me some thick milk chocolate" I couldnt do anything but laugh, he was just so confident he had this attitude where he spoke his mind and didnt fear rejection, damn I loved that in a man.
"hmm you're very nice I like nice, tall caramel men." I didnt realize that I was stroking his arm because our eyes never moved until...
Ryan:"so i see those flyers in your hands and I see that you're looking for a roommate, thats funny because I'm looking for an apartment"
"hmmm is that so? well today may be your lucky day, I need a roommate immediately and if you don't mind living with a woman then u can move with me"
"ohh forreal I dont wanna crowd and I barely know you, you know how can u trust me to pay the rent and stuff"
"maybe you can gain my trust"
"how can I do that" he said between sips of his cofee.
"how about I take your things and put them in my house as a down payment and you take me out to lunch"
"hmm sounds like a good idea, but can I come over I need to freshen up,I just got off a long plane ride from Newyork and I don't wanna stink on our first date."
"date?"
"this is a date right?"
"yes, yes its a date I'm just surprised that I could get a date that fast after i just broke off my engagement"
"well why you say that?"
"because my ex said that no one will ever like me again because of my size" I said looking down and sipping my drink. He lifted up my head by my chin and said without letting me go
"ma what the fuck wrong with him he couldn't see a sexy woman that he had? his lost cuz I'll never say something like that to you and if this date go right you won't ever have to worry about feeling that way again." A tear fell out my eye and he wiped it away I was so taken back by his words because no one has ever said anything like that to me before. "I hope this date go well too because I never want to feel that way again. That whole relationship was hard for me and thats in the past now thank you for your kind words that really made my day."
" I know we just met like 30 minutes ago but I feel like I've known you my whole life, I cant wait to go on this date so that we can talk even more. But can we please go to your apartment so we can freshen up and I can take you out?"
"you mean our apartment?" and I got up
and walked to my car.
He seen my car and walked over to it and laughed. "Dang Ma you match my fly"and he pointed to his identical Rolls-Royce across the street. "wow ma I guess we is meant for each other" he said getting his bag off the table. "I guess we are" and I got in my car and waited for him to pull up beside me so he can follow me to our apartment.
"I'm ready when you are Lalani ." and as I started to drive off I yelled out the window .
"I like it when you call me Ma."
