Izel

I sat in the bed trying to go back to sleep but I couldn't. It's also too damn early to be up.

I got up and grabbed me a towel before walking into my bathroom they assigned to me or however you want to put it.

I brushed my teeth first before getting into the shower and doing my skin care routine.

When I was done, I let my hair air dry and it was getting curly and big quick.

I changed into my tommy hilfiger shirt and my grey sweat shorts and put on my high nike socks.

Dressed like a total boy but who cares.

I walked out of my room and saw no one was up yet. I walked down the hall and looked for the cool door and when I saw it, I almost busted out laughing.

It was one of those chalk board doors and his name was written all over it.

I knocked on it and there was no response. I opened it and saw him dead asleep.

"August? Wake up, i'm lonely." I shook him a bit.

He woke up and he had his natural mean look all over his face.

"How may I help you ma'am?" He turned over to look at me.

"I need someone to be up with me. It wasn't feeling right with me being the only one awake."

"So you couldn't wake Travis up?"

"Nope. He seems mean."

He chuckled and shook his head.

"He ain't mean." He sat up and rubbed his eyes. "We can go out if you want?"

"Sure." I smiled.

"Aight, let me go take a showa' and everything then i'll be ready ta go." He got up and I saw he was half naked.

He only had on some socks, and his basketball shorts. I saw the rest of his tattoos and fell in love.

"You see some you like?" He rose a brow and smirked at me.

"Y-Your tattoos. I like them." I smiled.

He laughed while walking to his bathroom.

"What do we talk about?" I asked him. It was really silent as we took a seat in Starbucks. I really love this place.

"Uh, let's play twenty questions." He shrugged.

"Okay, I'll start off." I smiled "What's your full name?"

"August Anthony Alsina, Jr." He said the last part a little off-ish. "What's yours?"

"Izel Rahzé Baptiste." I smiled.

"Unique as hell." He sat back and smiled. "I like it." He chuckled.

"Uhm, how come you said your name kind of weird?" I questioned.

"Is this one of ya questions?"

I nodded my head and waited for his response.

"I never got a chance ta meet my pops and I heard some bad stuff bout him. I just hate that I have his name." He shrugged.

"I think your name is beautiful." I saw him smile, probably remembering when he told me that on my first day.

"Next question. You eva' been in a relationship befo'?" He looked me straight in my eyes.

"No. I'm not allowed to date."  I put my head down. I was embarrassed because every girl at my school probably has had a boyfriend and their first kiss, meanwhile I haven't.
