WAY TOO IN DEEP

I can't believe she pulled the taco lasagna card, if I'm being real though, even if she didn't, I would have ended up staying either way, but she knows how to trap me. Amina is the best person I know, everything about her is just special and just simply amazing. I glance at her while pretending to watch Being Mary Jane on the TV for what feels like the 100th time.

Amina's once braided down hair is now a big fro that framed her face perfectly and stops on top of her shoulders, she was struggling trying to untangle it section by section, and every now and then, she would curse under her breath. I couldn't help but laugh and she threw me a daring glare challenging me to try it again.
I know for sure at this rate we were gonna end up having a very late dinner.

Even though watching Being Mary Jane again wouldn't be my first choice of entertainment but it's her favorite show and I kinda enjoy watching her act surprise to certain scenes like she had no idea what was going to happen or the way she recites some of the lines words for word.

My mind trailed back to what she said about giving Emily a shot, those weren't her exact words, but I'm not good with communicating my exact feelings to any anyone but Amina, and her suggesting that I go and tell Emily that I don't fuck with her in that way, wasn't sitting well with me.

Usually, I just cut girls off without telling them they're being cut off, and after a few days they would hunt Amina down and demand an answer and she ends up doing the dirty work for me. The reason I do that is, I'm not trying to deal with the yelling and the cursing and especially not the tears that follow after. But Amina is feeling some type of way and I guess she has the right to be.

"Maybe you have a point," I said catching her off guard.

"You're gonna have to be more specific." She wasn't looking at me, her focus was on the TV screen.

"I mean I won't know until I give it a shot, so what if I'm not in love with her now, that doesn't mean I won't be down the line." My statement caught her full attention and she turned her whole body towards me with a slight shock on her face, she didn't say anything though, she was gathering all her hair into a big low puff, so I decided to continue.

"Emily is cool and she can be funny at times, she can be a little slow too, but I don't mind spending time with her." She was silently studying my face and processing my words.

"So you're serious about this?" She finally asked with disbelief in her voice.

"I mean why not?" I point out, she shrugged and look up at me again.

"I haven't been in a serious relationship since high school, I'm 24, I have my own place, own a very successful business, I think it's time I gave it a shot again?" She just stared at me.

"And you're sure she's the right girl to gave it a shot with?" She eventually asked.

"I don't know," I answered honestly.

"But it won't hurt to tr...." before I could finish she cut me off.

"You mean it won't hurt YOU?" She was off the floor and making her way to the kitchen, and I couldn't help but watch her, Amina had one of those full curvy figures that anybody can't help but look at including me, but I can't lie she did have a point but I wasn't trying to listen.
