I awoke to the sound of my phone ringing at 1:00am in the morning. "hello?" I said squinting as if my face could be seen through the phone. "It's c.j, was you sleep?" He said. "nah, I'm not now." I said as I giggled a little. "I'm sorry, I just been thinking about you since I met you this morning not to sound corny or nothing." he said nonchalantly. "aw that's cute, what's up ? I know you ain't call me this early in the morning to flirt." I said laughing tiredly. "that and something else, I want to take you out to eat. I know this is sudden but I actually want to pick your brain, I'm interested in you." he said. "ok just text me a time and place. oh and sorry I called you by your government name today." I said in a guilty tone. "You good it's just nobody calls me by my full name and I would kind of like to keep it that way for certain purposes. besides how did you even know my full name? nobody does." he said in a confused tone. "it was on your pass and when I went to sharpen my pencil I saw it on there." I said nonchalantly. "oh, remind me to tell the lady to put c.j from now on." he said chuckling. "that's a shame because crayen is so sexy on you." I said and for a moment the line was silent. "hello..." I said. "yea..." his voice lingered. "why are you so quiet all of a sudden your big mouth doesn't have nothing to say?" I teased. "I was just thinking, I can't wait to take you out though my treat." he said. "I'm looking forward to it." I said smiling. "bye Asia Carzwell" he said while his voice lingered in my mind rapping around my thoughts. "bye Crayen Hayes." I said as I heard a tiny breath come from his end of the line before it clicked. I laid there listening to the dial tone with the phone on my chest before I finally hung up. I finally went back to sleep with even sweeter dreams then I had before. I didn't want to be like everyone else, I wanted Crayen to open up to me and find a friend in me. I just wondered what he thought about me.

The next morning I got up and took care of my hygiene and then I threw my hair into a top knot which brought out my face and showed off my baby hairs. I did a couple swipes of mascara and put a mauve/cappuccino color on my lips which really made my face pop. I threw on a black skater skirt matched with a white long sleeved crop top & my Black wedges. August Alsina's beautiful voice played through my radio. I hummed the melody to his song 🎶Pornstar🎶. I grabbed my black Gucci bag and put on my diamond studs with a silver necklace that had an A on it. just then my phone rang as I was spraying on my favorite fragrance. "hello." I said as I finished stuffing my purse and threw on my Gucci shades. "Im at the restaurant." he said. "Ok I should be there in five." I said and with that I headed for the front door. I opened the door and hopped into my pt cruiser. I drove to the restaurant and I went inside. a white lady with really blonde hair was working the front & she wore a big koolaid smile on her face. "how can I help you today." she asked lightly. "I have dinner reservations with c.j haynes." I said scanning the restaurant for Crayen. "oh right this way ma'm." she said guiding me to a booth near the window where Crayen was sitting. he greeted me with a big smile and I had to admit he looked so sexy. he had a black polo shirt, some black jeans,two diamond earrings, and some black timberlands on. his curls were fresh and his lining was neat as usual. I took a seat and he seemed extra happy to see my face. I took my seat and sat my bag on the side of me as he reached down on the seat he was sitting on and when he lifted his hand up he had a bouquet of white roses. how did he even know my favorite type of flowers? and where in the hell did he find them? all of that didn't matter though because I was in the moment. "they're beautiful & they're actually my favorite." I said smelling the flowers. I sat them down and I must admit I was smiling from ear to ear. "are they?" He said smiling. we stared at each other for more than a moment before he returned his eyes down to the menu with a smile still on his face. he looked up at me once more and noticed I was still looking at him. "you look beautiful." he said and all I could do was blush. it grew silent but not awkwardly silent comfortably silent and a waiter walked up interrupting the vibe. "hi I'm Erica, I'll be your waitress for tonight." she said only looking at Crayen. she looked to be Latin, she was super short with nice curves but as for her face it wasn't all that. "hello." I said drawing her attention to me. she just smiled in an annoying fashion. "I'll have the spicy shrimp with fries & Caesar salad and as for my boyfriend.. What do you want baby?" I asked as Crayen's eyes jumped up. Erica shot me a look and so did Crayen but his wasn't a bitchy look. "uhm...uh.. I'll have the cheeseburger with extra pickles with fries and I'll also have the Caesar salad." he said with his eyes still on me. "any appetizer or drinks?" Erica asked. "yes I'll have a strawberry lemonade." I said. "and I'll have a sprite & as for appetizers.. mozzarella sticks with the sauce." he said as we both handed her our menus and she switched away with attitude.

"What was up with that?" he said smiling flashing his dimple. "well she was pushing up on you and I didn't like that-" I said cutting myself off not realizing I said a little to much. "don't worry about it, it was kind of cute." he said making me blush a little and look down. he lifted my chin up and looked me in my eyes. "so what should I know about Asia Carzwell?" He said. "well what do you want to know?" I said studying him. "your middle name, your childhood story, and just other shit." he said paying attention deeply. it was weird that he was much different than everyone was saying, he was sweet and charming. "well my name is Asia Camilla Carzwell. I don't really like to talk about my childhood because I don't have much to say about it, it was pretty nonexistent. um.. my favorite colors are black, white, blue, tan, gold, maroon ect.-" Crayen cut me off. " I want to hear about deeper things than your favorite colors like what makes you cry or laugh or something like that." he said laughing. "ok... well something that makes me cry Is...I don't know, I don't really like to cry. But I guess when I'm fed up I cry. things that make me happy is shoes, clothes, and people that can keep a smile on my face, make me laugh or blush...." I said as my voice trailed off and my eyes looked down. "what about you?" I said as my eyes met up with his. "well..my childhood was pretty bad." he said with a confusing laugh. "I'm sure you probably heard around. my mom is on drugs, I don't know where she is now though..." his eyes trailed off and focused out of the window. "me and my little brother been living together and I've been putting food on the table & clothes on our backs. as far as my sister I'm not to much worried about her, she's off somewhere rich & married to some lawyer she just forgot all a fucking bout us, man I can't stand these fake ass rich people and then they have the nerve to pretend there in the same situation or like they understand it." his body tensed up but the only thing on my mind was what he said about rich people... was I one of those people? Lying to my friends & pretending I knew their situation. I just had to keep telling myself It was justified and I had reasons but I knew I would have to come clean soon or later now was just not the time so I kept it to myself. "she always talking about times is hard but she never had to miss a meal before, she was out right when mama left and as for my dad fuck that nigga he ran off somewhere before I was born. So I turned to the dru-" he stopped his self from saying what I already knew 'the drug game'. he was slangin' and it wasn't no secret in the streets. "you don't have to say it, it's your business but I appreciate you opening up to me and I must admit that I had heard things about you and I'm glad I got to know a little bit about you today." I said smiling. just then the waitress came with our food. we had been laughing and cracking jokes on each other probably disturbing other customers but we didn't care. when we got done he paid and we got out by our cars and stood in between them and he leaned over me with his hand on the roof of my car as I leaned my back against my car. he towered over me and it made me feel safe. "I have to be honest I'm usually not into this whole dating thing but it's something about you Asia Carzwell, I think you're different. he said licking his lips causing my body to quiver a little bit. I bit my bottom lip as he grabbed my waist and slowly pulled me close to him. he smelled so good and his body was warm. he leaned down and kissed me gently on my lips, when our lips parted I grabbed his neck and leaned him down until his ear was at my lips. "bye Crayen Hayes." I said as I placed a light kiss on his neck and ear. his body tensed up as if he was trying to control his self. he slowly released his grip on my waist and then lastly we let go of each others hands, I got in my car as he leaned against his car watching me pull out. he slowly became a faint shape in the distance under a dark sky filled with stars.
