meetings

THEO

it was a dark murky saturday night. 9 pm. The sounds of crickets in the cold open air blended not so blissfully with Theo's sputtering truck engine.

"Fuck," he thought. He was absolutely exhausted from patient runs in the hospital today. But since his dear friend called him for a surprise, he relentlessly kept driving along the rocky dirt road.

Minutes later, he found himself driving up Alessandro Michels' driveway and sighed of relief. Theo lifted his glasses atop his forehead and ran his calloused hands over his face and checked his appearance in the mirror. Not to shabby, he thought.

He adjusted his glasses back on his face and grabbed his items and hopped out of his truck, walking up to the doorway and ringing the doorbell.

He heard his friend's voice shout, "Coming!" to acknowledge his presence.

Theo backed away from the door a bit as Alessandro opened up the door.

"Hey man, what's up!" Alessandro smiles as he bro hugged Theo.

Theo gladly returned the gesture. "Nothing much, man. Had a surplus of patients today and Doctor Rastbashti started panicking and bitching even more." Theo said rolling his eyes.

Alessandro chuckled. "Anya just needs to get that stick out of her ass," he said.

Theo laughed at the crude remark, showing his dimples. As his friend continued conversation with him, he really took the time to take in his friend's features. Alessandro was a delicious dark chocolate man with black afro textured hair that started to lightly gray throughout his hair. He had a dapper smile, nice chocolate eyes and a muscular body. Overall, he was a very handsome man, but Theo could never feel attracted to him not only because he was married, but because he just needed a little something else in his life. He was just unsure of what or who it was.

"Want to meet her?"

"Huh?" Theo said confused. He was so busy zoning out and concerned with his own thoughts that he forgot to pay attention to his friend.

"I asked if you want to meet her. My daughter. I know I've never talked about her around you but it was such a sensitive topic for me. I couldn't even see my own baby." Alessandro said with emotions coming over him. He played them off with ease as he is accustomed to.

Theo was surprised. He'd never met one of Alessandro's family members and he would never open up chance to talk about them, so Theo just left it alone. He was however, eager to meet someone new.

"S-sure!" Theo spitted out.

Alessandro chuckled to himself and led Theo through. As he closed the door, Alessandro shouted out, "Come down here honey! There's someone I want you to meet!"

"Ok daddy!" the mystery girl screamed back.

Theo patiently waited and as he did, he could not believe his eyes. This girl was jaw-dropping. Her father was attractive, but this girl was just absolutely stunning. She had long dark brown hair styled in light waves passing her breasts. She had long mocha chocolate legs which were accentuated in some tight beige shorts. She had a nice full teenage chest that filled out her grey tank top aptly. Her innocent big brown eyes and long dark lashes could turn any man on. And her face, was the absolute treasure. Theo had not seen such a perfectly symmetrical face in his life. It was a rich mocha brown colour, her complexion was absolutely flawless with big brown suckable lips and a medium button nose. I had at least three double takes at this girl.

"Good evening, sir. How are you?" Her voice was absolutely pure and innocent and matched her features.

"I'm fine and you darling?" I asked, smirking.
