The Grass Isn't Greener On The Other Side

Chapter Nine

Now we are in the month of February and I hear through the grape vine. Titus and Cassie got back together and had gotten married in December. Good for them I guess right secretly hoping that their marriage would burn to ashes and he would rot in hell.

One of my co workers suggested trying online dating. That definitely was never an option for me most people on those sites are perverts and just want sex. Yet I had nothing to lose being fat, depressed and anxious all the time feeling worthless a void in my soul. Looking for anything to fill it why not become a man eater. Nobody would care guys can ruin girls why couldn't I ruin someone else and use them for my personal gain.

I tried online dating I met a guy who was really cute. His name was Timothy but he went by Tim for short. Tim was fine definitely wasn't expecting that. We talked for about a week and decided let's meet. Tim was older than me he was 32 and me 24 yet he didn't seem to be bothered by the age difference.

We decided to meet at Red Robin oh my he was even finer in person. He stood 5'10 blue eyes, dark brown hair that was buzzed cut military styled. You could tell he worked out but he was just right for his height and size. His arms were definitely toned and he didn't have perfect teeth but they weren't crooked just not pearly white type straight. He wore a red adidas jacket, jeans, and red and white adidas shoes to match. Oh and need I say this he was white a new type of snack since I was done with and hated black men.

He was such a gentleman he gave me a hug and a compliment. Tim opened the door for me and I thanked him for doing so. That was a check mark in my head the place was packed but what would you expect on a Friday night. The hostess lead us to our seats but not without looking him up and down first. Did this chick just eye my date up and down does she not know I'm not in the mood for some skinny white slut to be eyeing what's mine for the night.

Forcing a smile on my face ignoring what just happened trying not to be the stereotyped mad black woman. Our waitress came to our table to ask us what we wanted to drink I really wasn't hungry nor thirsty so I just asked for water. Tim ordered a beer and we sat there looking over the menu.

The waitress came back with our drinks and we proceeded to order. Tim let me order first I asked for a chicken wrap and he ordered some type of hamburger. I was the first to speak,"how was your day?"
"Fine and yours."
"It was alright can't complain."
"So what exactly do you do?" He says,"I'm a police officer." My skin crawled a little bit I'm not too fond of the police. He could tell that I was a little uncomfortable with his job. Tim changed subjects quickly asking about my family."So do you have any siblings?"
"No, I'm an only child but I have lots of God sisters and brothers. Do you have any siblings?"
"Yes I have a brother, a half brother and a half sister."
"Really?"
"Yup, my parents got divorced when I was a kid and both remarried. My mom is a nurse and my step dad is doctor. My dad had two more kids with his wife."
"Wow, well at least they found love again my parents are high school sweet hearts and have been married for 23 years and together for 26." He smiled and laughed in amazement. We continue to have more questions for one another until our food came.

Man did he devour his fries and hamburger. I wasn't really hungry but forced myself to eat at least half of my chicken wrap and fries. Barely touching any of my water he was thirsty so he asked if he could drink some of my water. Without hesitation I said yes he could and of course he drank it all. We talked about football until the check came. His favorite team is the Seattle Seahawks and mine is the Tennessee Titans.

He was amused at how much I knew about football little does he know I eat, sleep, breathe football. The check arrived and doing the polite gesture reaching for my purse he turns to me to tell me he got it. Yes he paid for the entire date and walked me to my car. We stood there not wanting to leave one another and it was cold outside so we got in my car.

He opened my car door and let me get in and walked around to the other side and sat on the passengers side. Blasting the heat now waiting for my car to warm up. He says,"I had a really good time with you tonight I haven't laughed that much in awhile. Plus, I've never known a girl to know football the way you do." At this point I was lost in his eyes letting out a giggle. He leans forward and our lips connect.

It was a dominant but yet a passionate kiss his tongue brushes across my lip wanting entry into my mouth. Gladly obliging the request to enter. Our tongues wrestled back in forth and then we were in sync with one another until it gotten so heated where I could feel myself becoming aroused. In that moment I unlocked our lips and stopped kissing him. Both of us out of breath he says."I like kissing you." We kissed again at taking a look at the clock it was almost 10:00. Tim says,"I should go I will text you when I get home." Still a bit out of breath giving a head nod of okay Tim got out of my car. Watching him walk away he looked back and flashed me a smile. In that moment I regretted letting him get out of the car. Longing for his lips to be against mines again no one ever kissed me liked that before little did I know that would only be the beginning of many of those kisses to come and so much more.
