Georgia went to go visit her mom today, so I had the apartment to myself.  I decided to play some music and clean up a little.  While I was cleaning, my phone vibrated.  It was a text from Damian.

D:Good morning  i was wondering if u would want to go out for lunch with me today?

I was about to text back when my phone started ringing. 

It was my ex boyfriend Davon aka the last person I would want to talk to EVER.

V: What do you want?!?

D: Damn why are you so hostile?

V:What do you want Davon? Why do you even still have my number?

D:I miss you

V:Yea right

D: Really i do I'm always thinking about you

V: You wasn't thinking about me when you was cheating on me with one of my best friends

D: I love you nessa

V: If you really loved me, you wouldn't have cheated  Goodbye Davon

He pisses me off sometimes.  It still kinda hurts, but not as much as it did when we broke up.  Me and Davon dated for two years.  He was my everything and I loved him.  I guess he didn't feel the same way.  I learned that he cheated on me with my best friend Maya.  It wasn't just one time either. They were "together" for one and a half years.  That means most of our relationship was a lie.  Long story short, we broke up and I haven't talked to Maya or Davon since then.  I remembered that Damian texted me, so I replied

V:Good morning  sure  wat time?

D:about 12:30   is that good for u

V:thats fine    see u then

I had about two hours before i was supposed to meet him so I finished cleaning.  I put on my purple romper, black vest, and black converse and went to go meet Damian.

AT THE RESTAURANT

As I pulled up, I saw Damian standing outside of the restaurant,signing some autographs.  He turned around and smiled when he saw me.  "Hey Vanessa,how are you?" he said pulling me into a hug.  He smelled so good, and it felt nice in his arms. A girl can get used to this. "I'm good, and you?" "I'm good" He looked me up and down. "You look great" "Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself.  Let's go in, I'm starving." After sitting down, Damian said, "So tell me about yourself" "What do you want to know?" "Anything.....everything."  Well, my full name is Vanessa Renee Jones but my friends call me Vans or Nessa. I'm 22 years old.  I was born August 16, 1990.  I was born and raised in DC.  My dad is African American and my mom is Jamaican, that explains why my hair is difficult.  I have a twin brother named Carter and a baby sister named Alyssa.  I am a huge sneakerhead.  You will most likely see me wear sneakers.  I love sports.  I played plenty of sports back in high school, but my favorites were volleyball, track, and especially basketball." His eyes got wide. "You played basketball?" "Yea, in high school and in college."  "We have to play one day" I laughed and said "Maybe one day, but not anytime soon.  Your a pro.  That would be like having a singing contest against Beyonce" He laughed. "I would go easy on you" "No, that would be like letting me win. I wouldn't want to win that way.  Did I also mention I'm very competitive?" We spent about an hour talking to each other.  It was really fun talking to him; he is a really cool person. We even told different stories from our childhood.  "You really hit him in the face with a basketball?" je asked me. "Yea. He kept hitting me with his baseball, so I hit him back. I didn't think it would break his nose"

When we walked out of the restaurant, I was a little dissapointed that we had to leave.  "I had fun." "Me too.  Too bad I have to leave to get ready for tonight." I totally forgot the game was tonight. "Oh yea, you have a game tonight.  I will see you there." "Your going?" I lightly shoved him. "Of course! I have to support you, and also I want to see what happens when two of my favorite teams play against each other."  'Well, text me to tell me where you are sitting." "I don't think I will. I don't want to be a distraction" "You won't be a distraction, you would be motivation" he said smiling.  "Bye Vans" pulling me into a hug. I smiled, realizing that he used my nickname.  Did I mention he smells really really good. "Bye Dame, see you later. Good luck!" 

   I walked home and went through the front door and was meet by Georgia.  She was already dressed for the game. "You do know that the game isn't until 7 right?"  "I know that.  I just want to be ready. You should be getting ready too. You take too long. Anyway, where were you today?"  "I went out to lunch with a friend."  Her face lit up. "Did this friend just so happen to be a guy?" ".........maybe" "I KNEW IT! SO WHATS HIS NAME? IS HE CUTE?" she said jumping off the couch. "Calm down.  I'll tell you later. I'm gonna go take a nap. Wake me up at 5:30."  I am going to tell her about Damian, just not now.  I really should tell her though.......right?
