Since our computer was broken from our cousins staying with us, Patrice had to go to the public library to do some work for her English class so I tagged along. I signed into myspace [remember, this is 2007 guys lol] and checked my messages and friend requests. I decided to search for Chresanto as well and since my luck is so bad, about 5 of them came up and the one who I assumed was him was the only one whose page was private. I decided to add him anyways and if it wasn't him then i'd just delete the person. As soon as I sent the request, Patrice was done so it was time to go. I was kind of upset that I couldn't stay for a little while to see if he would accept my friend request but I guess I'd just have to wait. As I walked out of the library, I couldnt help but to think, "Do I like Chresanto?" Nah, he's not my type... I think??

Once the weekend came, my mom and dad went and got us a new computer. Since I had to have some type of information about the Dominican Republic for my World Geography class on Monday, I decided to try the new computer out at 1 in the morning but I signed into my myspace account first. I logged on to see a message from the person that I added by chance hoping it was Chresanto and it was.

Message : Roc_yaworld

I see you found me on myspace lol

I laughed at the message and started to feel embarassed. I didn't want him to think I was a stalker or anything. Just a little curious.

We ended up talking all night through our messages. I learned a lot about him through that one conversation. His mom passed away when he was 9. He had 3 brothers and a step mother that he couldn't stand. His phone was taken and he couldn't talk on the phone. He'd just gotten out of a relationship 2 weeks ago and the icing on the cake was that he lied to me about his age because he thought I was going to try to hook him up with Miya. I found that part funny but sad. After we said good night, I couldn't help but think about him.

"Your sister is bad as hell, Kay Kay."

Chresanto's friend, Jacob told me on the phone. He was staying the night with him because his dad and step mom went out of town and of course didn't trust him to be at home by himself. 3 weeks had passed since we'd began to communicate with each other. I liked him a lot and he liked me as well. I hadn't broke the news to Miya yet but at the same time, it really didn't matter because she had a boyfriend which was my best friend and I wasn't with the fact that she could potentially try to play him by talking to Santo. Santo and I had shared kisses, and held hands everywhere we went. We were basically in a relationship but we just weren't official yet.

"I know she is, it runs in the family sweet heart."

"Yea yea you gonna hook us up?"

"Umm.. I don't know. This is my first time talking to you. You could be ugly or crazy.. or even worse.. both!"

He smacked his teeth.

"Man stop playing. I'm sexy. Me and Chelsey would be perfect together. "

"Ok I got you now put my baby back on the phone."

I heard him mumble "sprung" and he started calling Chresanto's name. I could hear them grabbing the phone and then they started arguing about whether or not drinking sweet tea makes their "manhood" bigger. I shook my head and laughed at them because they were typical males. After about five minutes of arguing about that and Chresanto declaring that jacob's "man hood" must be little because he drinks Moutain Dew which has 'yellow #5' which supposedly makes it smaller, he finally started back talking to me on the phone.

"Y'all done now?"

I asked obviously impatient.

"Yea my bad bay. I walked out of the room so we could finish our talk."

I told him ok and sat there and thought for a minute then decided to ask him something.

"So when me and you going to get together?"

"As soon as you ask me out."

I sat there for a second, contemplating on whether or not I should ask him out. Isn't that the boys job though? At this point I didn't care. I wanted him to be mine so if I was going to have to be the one to make the first move, then so be.

"Will you be mine Chresanto August?"
