When I woke up I immediately checked my phone for messages, emails, new followers,etc. I got out of bed to see my head scarf laying on my bed. I turnt on my lamp and walked over to my wall mirror. My hair was all over the place and I look like them depressed girl who been in bed crying all week and one day finally decided to get out of bed. "Great!" I said in a sad sarcastic voice. After scamming through my notifications for the second time this morning I decided to text people back. After I texted people back I sat in bed just starring at my wall. While starring at the wall my phone start ring. I looked at my phone to see that it was Kaleb. I didn't want to answer to fast so I waited a little while by dancing to the ring tone. After that I answered I tried to cut my hair out so he couldn't see it that it was still a mess." Wassup baby girl?" He said when it finally connected. "Nothing much,what's up with you?" I asked smiling. "nothing much just been chilling" he replied as he fluffed his hair that was in a puffball." So you remember you said you was gone think about us going on a date?" He asked as he licked his lips. "Yeah what about it?" I asked knowing that I didn't even think about it cause I had too much other stuff going on. "I was wondering if you had your answer yet?" He asked with a striaght face. "oh, yeah, yeah , yeah,I thought about it long and hard and I decided why not give it a try" I said bitting my bottom lip out of nervousness not wanting him to to know I just lied to him." Ight cool, so how about tonight? I'll pick you up around eight? Is that good?" He said as he wiped around his face with his hands. " umm, yeah why not" I said as I raised one eyebrow at shantel who was standing at the door hold two fingers in each hand putting them side by side."See you then baby girl" he asked smiling hard showing his braces. , wait before you hang up, can it be like a double date?" I asked looking at shantel who held up her thumbs."Yeah dats cool, but may I ask who coming with us?" He said/ asked starring at me directly through the screen." Shantel and her boyfriend rashad" I said pulling my hair back over my head as it landed on face covering my nose. "Dang ma bad hair day or something?" He asked as he seen how frizzy it was. "No but I'm flat iron it so it's not gone look like this for long" I said chuckling. "That's something new, I never seen your hair down during the summer" he said. " I know I wanna change up my hair style but I'm not sure what I want to do for sure cause it's so many hair styles I want to try" I said poking my lips out for my sad face. "Well good luck with dat" he said in a playfully voice. I chuckled for a little bit " well I'm get started cause flatiorning is a hour process" I said putting my finger over the end call button waiting on him to say goodbye. "see you later beautiful" he said smiling. I didn't know what to say back so I just hung up. I throw my phone to the left. I grabbed my pillow that was there for bed Decoration and held it over my face as I laid back screaming into it. "Ughhhhhhhhhhh. ahhhhhhaaaahhhh" I screamed into the pillow. " stop whining and get up we have to get you right" shantel said like her and rashad wasn't going either. " let me flat iron your hair and do your make up" she said as she ran to get her make up products. I don't really wear make cause growing up mama didn't allow it. She would always say " your naturally beautiful, you don't need makeup and I'm not allowing you to cover up what took hours for me to make" ewww it just gave me chills just thinking about her telling me that again. Who wanted to think about their parents get their freak on before conceiving you.... not I. Any way after she did my hair and make up I looked in the mirror. "It feels weird, how can you where this all the time?" I asked as I flipped my hair over my shoulder."how does it not feel real?" She asked as she laughed. "Cause it's not my real face hoe" I said fake crying. "Ok so wear the olive green spaghetti tight fitted jumpsuit and I'll wear my grey one" shantel said going to do her hair and make up. Oh my god, I  can't believe I'm finna go on my first date. After we got dressed we waited in the living room. Throught I was gone be in my 30s before I go on a date. Soon we heard a knock on the door. "I got it" rashad said. That's something new cause he never opened the door. Him and Kaleb talked for a while before letting us know it was time to go. None of us knew where we was going but the boys. I guess Kaleb told rashad where we was going. The first place we pulled up to was a art museum. Kaleb must of remembered that I said I was into art when we was playing 21 questions. This is going to be interesting. Walking through the museum looking at different panting. " I could of made this" shantel said looking at a painting with splattered paint all over the paper In different colors. "Right I could've done it better doe" I said walking to where Kaleb was. He rapped his arms around my neck giving me butterflies in my stomach. I don't know what he is doing to me but I love hate it, I love it cause I never felt this way but then I hate it cause I don't know if its just for some pussy or what? But anyway I was going to enjoy being here. "Oh my god, look at this" I said starring at a picture that was made into Michael Jackson using different colors. "It look exactly like him" rashad said. "Right that's crazy, I can't even do mixed colors like how people do sunsets. Don't ask how I know" I said replying to rashads response." How you know bitch?" Shantel asked causing if me to give her the stare. "Ugh, cause I tried when I was younger" I said looking up at Kaleb as he smiled down to me. After the art museum we went to plenty of other places. Soon we pulled to chilies. We end up getting our own table because he wanted to talk about stuff alone. "Alayisa let me ask you something" Kaleb said starring off a conversation. " ask away" I said putting my phone face down so it's showing the back of it. "Why you pushing me away" Kaleb asked curious. " I'm be honest with you, I never had a boyfriend and the way y'all 2017 niggas acting, oh no baby I'll rather stay single! I'm not saying all niggas are the same but I never found a boy who was different...until I met you but still I'm a every emotional person and like I'm ready for something real but y'all just want to play mind games and fuck and then on to the next you go... I know my little heart ain't gone be able to take the heart break..... and that's why I push boys away now, I really like you doe but Im scared of getting my heart broken " I said tell him what's on my chest." I ain't like these other boys" he said looking at the menu. " that's what they all say" I said rolling my eyes." I'm foreal tho, I want to love you and show you what these other dudes can't but I'm not rushing cause I know we just meet not to long ago, but I can tell you now.." he was starting to say before getting cut off by the waiter. " y'all ready to order?" She said putting our drinks down. I looked at Kaleb because after this talk I wasn't even hungry nomore, I just wanted to go home and go to sleep. I felt sick even thinking about getting my heart broken by somebody I loved most, but till I get home... I'm keep my cool. "I'm just get tenders and fries" Kaleb said. "And you ma'am?" She asked looking at me."Nothing, I lost my appetite but thank you" I said letting her know I wasn't hungry but thanking her Anyway. " you ok?" Kaleb asked. "Umm, yeah" I said looking at him then back to the table. " you sure? You don't look like it, was it the wrong time or.."he was asking before I cute him off. "No it was fine but yes I'm ok" I said lying not wanting him to know that the conversation bothered me just a little. After they finish eat we went home. The ride home was silent between me and Kaleb. " bestfriend you ok?, you awfully quite" shantel asked. I just nodded and looked back out the window. When we pulled up to the house we all got out. I just wanted to shower and go to bed at this moment. "Alayisa?" Kaleb called out for me stopping me in my tracks. I turnt around around and he nodded he head towards him telling me "to come here" as I was walking towards him he had his arms spreaded. I walked right into his hug and I hugged him back as his arms went around my waist. Ugh I ain't had a hug in forever, it was just what I needed. The last hug I got from a dude was when my brother hugged me good bye on my first day of college, I really wish he was here tho. After a few seconds he pulled away asking were I ok, I shook my head no telling the truth this time. "What's the matter?" He said in a deep voice. "My heart feel heavy right now  and my brain on a trip down memory lane and I miss my brother so much" I said as my eyes fell up with a pool of tears. "If you want you can cry on my chest" he said rubbing my back as the other arm held around my waist. With that I tear fell from my eyes,then another. I pulled away wiping my tears. "Oh my god, this is embarrassing" I said turning around so he couldn't see my face. "If you want you can talk to me about it? I won't Jude you.I promise, we all go through a tough time we just need someone there,and I'm not saying your friend not there but I wanna be there through the good and bad cause I'm look at you the same" he said as he leaned against the passenger side of the car. I chuckled then smile. "We can talk in my room" I said shrugging my shoulders. "Let do that den" he said walking towards me. I led him up to my room shutting the door behind us. "Ugh make yourself comfortable" I said sitting in my armless computer chair as I pulled up my personal laptop. I logged in and immediately pulled up pictures of me and my little brother. "Who that?" He asked walking up as I strolled through my album dedicated to my brother. "my pain in the ass little brother who I adore and love so much" I said as my eyes filled back up with tears. "How old is?" He asked lean over me. "He's 10 but think he 19. He think he my big brother and He has a big crush on shantel " I said as I chuckled. "He look like you, if you ask me" he said sitting in my high heal chair. I closed my laptop and turnt around looking at him. "That's what everybody say" I said as a smile spreaded across my face. " Kaleb I'm a emotional wreck right now and I appreciate the fact you want to be here for me and that's the thing, I'm scared to let people in, so I push people away, I don't know what to do cause I want something real but then again I'm scared to let my Guard down because I'm afraid of getting hurt" I said as I laid down in the bed holding onto a pillow. After a long talk we ended up watching a movie. I guess we both had a long day cause we both ended up falling asleep. When I woke up I looked at the time. "2:59" appeared on my lock screen on my phone. I really don't want to be rude but he had to go. I turnt over making eye contact with his adorable face. " awe, he's so cute when he sleeping, on second throught I didn't want to wake him.
