The City-Daveed Diggs

43. "Excuse me, I'm terribly lost. Can you help me?"

I am New to New York
I walk around the streets half scared to death. It's a new city new start new life for not only me up my baby Taylor...I squish through the large crowds with Tay in my arms. She keeps squeaking and point to stuff oh I love her so much 💕💕💕
I see a man with poofy hair standing to the side of the side walk on his phone I walk up to him
Excuse me I'm terriblely lost can you help me?
He looked up from his phone screen and my ch to your dismay he responded
Uh ya whatcha looking for
The Wood Brooke Apartments on—
76th and 55th
Uhh ya those ones
Ya just follow me
It was kinda risky fallowing a man you had just met but whatever
So your new to the city?
Ya how could you tell
He lets out a small chuckle
Because everyone knows where Wood Brooke's is
You release a nerves laugh
I guess it would be ovause then
Oh how rude I am I'm Daveed Diggs
You smile in return

I point to the baby career on my back and say

he smiles
We walk a few blocks till we reach a cute greenish building
This is the office he says
Where's the apartments?
He tilts his head to the left and points up
Wow 😮
That's amazing

Taylor starts to cry a little bit

I turn to Daveed to thank him
Thank you so much for helping us we never would have found this place if you hadn't helped
Can I take you to lunch
Excuse me
Can we go to lunch sometime? He itches the back of his neck
I smile
Only if I get to pay
Fine I smiled
We expanded numbers and went on are way about ten minutes later I get s text from a unknown number
Hey! This is Daveed! How does tomorrow sound
That sounds great
I think I responded way to quick but he responded almost quicker then I did
