Chapter 4: Ex Convict

Chapter Four

Syn

He was cute, no doubt about it. Light skinned, perfect eyes, his beard were on the rough side but there wasn't a shave that couldn't fix it and his smile to die for. The only thing that really just had my alert button on edge was him offering to buy me a damn five hundred dollar watch. Santana and my brothers always told me about men like him, they were basically the ones who had more than one watch on his arm best known as more than one bitch. I wasn't trying to be that at all, I wasn't in the mood to be a man's so called "girlfriend" but later on knowing that I was just a side hoe being apart of the side hoe convention with his other hoes.

"Damn Syn why did you have to go and curve that dude like that? he was fine as hell!" Whitney whined and I looked at her puzzled. Maybe she didn't see what the hell I saw.

"Yes he is fine Whit, but thinks about it. He was offering to buy me a five hundred dollar watch on his expenses, no regular man does that," I explained and she sighed as we walked up in the line to the movies.

"Um maybe because he wants to impress you."

I scoffed and shook my head, "Chile a five hundred dollar watch is too damn much for me, maybe not for you but I could already see what type of dude he is."

"You need to stay away from your brothers for real," I smiled, hey they taught me well.

I reached in my pocket and immediately started panicking because I couldn't find my damn phone and already knew that I left it at Nordstrom which was basically on the other side of the freaking mall.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" I yelled angrily and sighed looking at Whitney, "You think you could call my phone please?" I asked and she shook her head taking out her phone and dialing my number.

As I panicked so bad I could already hear my ringtone of Lil Boosie Set It Off playing around me, so I already knew that someone stole my phone. I looked around and walked ahead just keep on looking then bumped into this nigga again and I saw him with his hand out and my phone right on his palm.

"As a nice person I'm giving you back your phone Syn," he said and I sighed and grabbed my phone.

"Thanks," I said and he nodded his head.

"So can I buy you the watch?" I squinted my eyes at him and burst out laughing, I swear this dude didn't get it, "Alright since that laugh was a dead no, how about a movie? My treat?"

I looked behind me to already see Whitney and his boy already walking into the theatre so basically I had no apparent choice.

"Well you leave me alone after this?"

"Maybe not depending on how this goes," this guy was too freaking annoying, "How about this forget the movie and well enjoy something at Sbarro's?" I looked up at him and sighed. I was hungry but I don't know how all of this would have played out.

"Fine, but no funny stuff."

"Listen I may look a little hostile but trust me, I am the nicest guy that you could know. Now shall we?" he extended out his arm and I just shook my head and put my arm around him and we walked to Sbarro's. While we walked there I just thought about how a horrible friend Whitney was because we were supposed to be watching a movie together but apparently she didn't care because she had someone else accompanying her to the movies instead of me. There was nothing wrong with this Zeno character but I always kept my wall up for everything.

"What type of pizza do you want?" he asked turning to me.

"Sicilian pepperoni and sausage," I told the cashier as I smiled.

"I'll have original pepperoni," he said pointing at the biggest slice under the light and I looked at him, for a small guy this dude was going to eat this big ass piece, "You could go find a table for us to sit, anything you want to drink?"

"Bottle water would be fine," I said and walked over to the booth on the other side of the restaurant and sat down.

I wasn't really impressed as of yet but it couldn't hurt to have a free meal and company from someone of the opposite sex and wasn't my brothers. I sat back in my seat and waited on Zeno to come with my pizza which I wanted now.

"Sorry about the delay, your pizza took a while to heat up, plus I had to get you these," I looked up and saw the bouquet of lilies in his hand and raised my brow.

"Are you a magician or something?" I asked and he chuckled.

"I wouldn't say that, I just like to surprise people enough to keep them on their toes," I smiled and nodded my head as he handed the flowers to me and I set it on my lap and he sat down.

I cracked open my water and took a sip looking at him, "So, Zeno where you from?" I asked and he looked at me.

"Born and raised in Miami, Lil Haiti to be exact," he answered and I tilted my head looking at him, I lived in lil Haiti and I have never seen this man ever in my life.

"That's where I'm from but I have never seen your face," I said tearing a pizza and popping it in my mouth and he took a bite of his then looked at me.

"I just got out of jail this morning so I haven't been in Lil Haiti for five years," I fluttered my eyes then looked at him, jail? Oh hell no. I was having lunch with some ex convict? Nope. I refuse.

I stood up and walked out of the restaurant heading back to the movies already fed up that I was talking to some ex convict.

"Whoa whoa, come on girl. How you just going to up and leave though?" he asked grabbing my arm and I turned around looking at my arm then him.

"If I was you, I would let go of my arm right about now," I threatened and he looked at me and sighed letting go looking at me.

"Look, I know I been to jail and all but give a nigga a chance come on," he pleaded and I smiled shaking my head walking away.

I didn't have time to deal with some fucking ex convict especially at this time.
