"What place we going to?" I asked him.

"Somewhere food." He said. I side eyed.

"I ain't going to no place where they sell girls." I told him. He laughed.

"You think I'll kidnap you and give you to some other fat Chinese looking nigga who ain't got no pussy by his wife." I laughed. "The whole you. Looking sexy ass hell." He walked around me, making me blush.

"I ain't looking my best." I said looking down.

"To me. I think you look amazing. Am sure even when you ain't bath and your hair is messy as hell. You looking fine." He said making me blush and giggle.

"Stop." I managed to say.

"C'mon, tell me you believe me." He said.

"Well I don't. Now shut up." I said.

"You broke my heart." He said touching his chest. I laughed.

"It's gonna be okay." I said giggling.

"We almost there, I swear with all my heart that you gonna love this dish am gonna pick out for you." He said.

"Well if you say it's good. I'll try it." I said.

Marcus

We walked into spice world it's an India restaurant with great Indian food. I came here every time I get a chance.

"Marcus!" I saw Aunt Lakeishana greet me. Her and her husband own the place.

"Lala!" I hugged her. "You looking amazing in your attire as always." I said.

"Thank you Darling." She looked at Charlotte whose next to me. "Who's this pretty lady?"

"This is my lady Charlotte." I said. I can tell Charlotte looked surprised when I said my Lady . Lakeishana smiled at her.

"It's nice to meet you." Charlotte said politely.

"Good my Darling. Table for you two." Lakeishana said leading us to a table at the back with dim lights and lighted candles.

"Ma...can we have the usually and for a drink bring me coke and for Charlotte..." I looked at Charlotte.

"Water." She said smiling.

"Good water is heathy. Love you." Lakeishana walked off. I smiled at the fact that Lakeishana said love you to Charlotte.

"Wow you known huh?" Charlotte said.

"Very know....I have an history here." I said.

"Mind telling me." She said.

"Well when I was young, back home it was a struggle. One day I was looking for a piece job. Lakeishana and her husband took me. I worked for 8 months after that I started racing. Only to take care off my family." I said to her.

"You sweet." She smiled. I smiled back. Lakeishana came with two waiters. One had our food the other had juice with glasses.

"Food for my favorite couple." Lakeishana said making me and Charlotte laugh.

"Thanks lake." I said to her. She smiled than walked off with her waiters. I watched as Charlotte look at the food than taking a spoon off the spice rice. Her eyes widen and her mouth formed an 'O'. I laughed.

"This is so chilli Marcus." She said laughing a bit after thanking a drink off her juice.

"What you don't like it?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"No it's not that. This is the most amazing food I've ever tasted but it's chilli." She said.

"I thought you and hot stuff are one." I said. She blushed..

"Let's eat....in silence." She said making me laugh.

We ate, I was watching her eat and her mouth forming an 'O'. She was adorable and funny. After eating, we just sat and talked. I learned a lot about her. She was beautiful and very smart.

"Can we go somewhere now? Am getting hot." She said hand blowing herself.

"Okay." I said. I took her hand as we walked out. I was going to take her somewhere amazing. I know I just met her and all but she was beautiful and she does something to me. Like she is amazing and I liked that.

"My tongue is still burning." She said.

"We can get ice cream." I said. She looked at me with her big beautiful eyes.

"There's an ice cream store opened at this time off the night." She asked. I looked at my watch it was 9:23pm.

"Yeah, I know a place." I said. She nodded smiling. She has one beautiful smile. This girl got me man. She got me good. Just with her smile and shit. I started rubbing her hand and I felt that it was cut and a lil fresh a I felt. I looked at her she was looking at the buildings. I picked up her hand and it was cut, bruised and scratched.

What the fuck?
