Chapter 9: In The Night

Jeremiah's POV:

A couple weeks later...

Miyah and I have been hanging out a lot lately. I'm really falling for this girl. There's something else about her that I can't put my finger on , and it just pulls me in closer and closer to her. Everything about her is just so perfect to me.

The way she laughs, talks, smells, her sense of style, her music taste, and I could go on and on. So I decided to ask her out on a date today. I've never been this nervous to ask a girl out before, but this is Miyah we're talking about.

She's not just any girl, she's that girl. I'm gonna do it later on when she gets back from the mall with Chanel. I pace around my room trying to figure out if I wanna be extra or just be straightforward. So many decisions, so many. Elijah walks past my room then comes back and walks in my room.

"Damn dude, what's wrong with you?" he asks nonchalantly while eating a sandwich.

"I wanna ask Miyah out on a date but I don't know how I'm gonna ask her."

He gives me a "really nigga" look and puts the rest of his sandwich in his mouth. He plops down on my bed and looks me dead in the eye.

"I know you really like this girl, since you can't ever shut the hell up about her, so I say that you just ask her straight up. Don't release too much feelings on her though because then you just don't wanna spill it all on the first date. But that's just me."

"My nerves getting to me, you think she'd reject me?"

"Nah, doubt it. Just chill , get your shit right cause they gone be home in a half hour."

"Shit, I gotta shower and shit." I say panicking.
Elijah laughs at me and goes back to his room. I walk in my bathroom and take a quick shower. I throw on another one of my black hoodies, since I can't find my favorite, and some joggers. I didn't want to look all fancy and stuff yet because I'm going over there to ask her and I can change when I come back home. I spray some cologne on and look in the mirror. It's go time J, let's get it together. I check myself one more time before leaving out.

I pull up to the complex and wait in the parking lot until Chanel texts me that I can come up. I sit in the car and think of what to say to her. My thoughts are soon interrupted by my phone.

Chanel: come on in!

I take a deep breath in and exit my car. My breathing hitches while walking to their apartment. As I walk up the hallway, my hands start to shake. Calm down Jeremiah! Jesus you're gonna blow it before you even get a chance! I stop walking and calm myself down. I knock on the door, anxious for a response. Chanel opens the door and gives me a thumbs up.

"MiMi, Jeremiah is here!" she yells while closing the door.

"Okay, be out in a sec!" she replies. I take a seat at the table and play this addictive ass game called Ballz on my phone. It was calming my nerves so I just kept playing it. I look up to see her walking up to the table, she takes a seat.

"Hey Jeremiah, how was your day?" she smiles.

"It was alright, I woke up this morning so I can't complain."
