Xavier.
I pulled up to this nice apartment complex and seen Ava and Hazel waiting outside. "Sorry for being a little late I had to take my brother home." I got out of the car and opened the passenger door for her.

"So where are we going Macdaddy." She said playing on her phone. "You can call me Xavier. Macdaddy is only while we're working." She smiled at me. "I like that a lot more than Macdaddy but where are we going?"

"The Varnish. It has live performances and good food. You been there before?" She shook her head. "You from here?"

"I mean I'm from here but I spent eleven years away when I was staying with my dad. You from here?" I nodded. "He'll yeah my family line goes way back here."

We enjoyed our dinner getting to know each other and making each other laugh. My brother was wrong about her she wasn't gold digging she was just trying to make a living for herself. And she was someday willing to have kids like I was.

We were walking around when we heard boyz II men end of the road. We both starting singing the song dramatically and dancing weirdly.

Hazel.
We both giggled as the people who were playing the music laughed at us.

We walked over to where his car was and I got in and he started the engine. He just paused and looked at me. "What? You want a kiss?" He shrugged and moved closer to me. His lips were so soft.

He bit down on my lip to insert his tongue but I pulled away. This was too much for a first date. "Too much?" He said smiling. I nodded my head and put on my seatbelt as he pulled out the parallel parking space and drove away.

While on the highway to my house he slid his phone over to me. "Put your number in my phone." I picked up his iPhone 8 plus and started typing my number and put in my contact. "Send a picture too. I have a cousin name Hazel too." I nodded my head and sent a picture from my phone to his.

After giving him his phone back I decided to take a little nap in his car. I know it was only 9:30 and Ava was still waiting at my house to receive details but a bitch was a little buzzed.

I woke up to see Xavier shaking me and laughing. "Your makeup is smeared yo.. But you home." I shrugged and pulled out a twenty. "Sorry for your seat. It's not that big of a spot-" He grabbed the money and put it back in my purse. "I just want another kiss."

I giggled and pulled down the visor so I could look in the mirror. I laughed. "Alright." I puckered my lips and kissed him deeply before getting out and walking to my apartment.
