Unspoken Words ( Norminah )

One.

Why do people hurt those that love them the most? I thought out loud as I gazed up at the ceiling like it was going to help me get my day started or something.

Why can't I just stay home watch tv and think about the what ifs all day while day dreaming about sweet nothings.

I shifted around in my bed until i finally got in a comfortable position. I looked over my pillow to see ally in my room just looking at me like I was crazy.

" How many times do I have to tell you DJ sane people don't talk to theirselves " She blurted out in a duh tone

" No sane people talk to themselves insane people talk to theirselves and answer their own question " I shouted back to her before throwing my pillow over my head to keep the sun from out of my eyes.

" Get up you been just walking around looking lost since that girl hasn't called you, what its been two days or so? "  She asked while standing in my doorway to make sure I got up.

" No try two weeks. " I finally spoke up throwing my legs over my bed eventually deciding to get up. I lent over picking up my shirt stretching my arms out wide trying to rid myself of any sleepiness

"Two weeks? Are you telling me you been down and out over a girl you have never talked to and you don't even know her name? Dinah something isn't right "

I just looked at her not able to speak because she was right usually I wouldn't be this stuck, why be stuck on one girl when it's millions of them out here.

" She's different " I mumbled while piddling around trying to keep my mind off her. Ally gave me that same look she gave me earlier.

" But you don't even know her name Dinah how she different? "

" You had to be there to understand trust me you would've felt the same way too " I said to her with all seriousness she walked past me into the living room and sat on the couch

" Okay " she had patted the empty spot beside her " Come here and tell me all about it "

With a smile on my face and no hesitation I started breaking it down for her.

Flashback
-------------------------

" Hey DJ can you get that table? I'm a little busy over here. " one of the new waitress looked at me and asked

I stood there for a few seconds like I was thinking about it. Knowing I was going to say yes I just wanted to give her a hard time

" Please pretty pret .. "

"Yeah sure I got you " I spoke up cutting her off before she could finish begging

" You know begging doesn't look good on you " I look at her smirking before turning to walk over to the table

" I ain't to proud to beg " she sung out loudly causing one of the older customers to turn up her nose.

As I got ready to grab my pen and pad I noticed the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.

She had the most riches skin tone you know the one you get picked on about in school, But you don't care cause you know one day somebody will find beauty in it.

I seen her from a distance her beauty pulling me closer noticing I had been standing in the same spot for who knows I feel somebody standing beside Me i look over to see Nita.

" I asked you to wait the table not stare at it " she looked up at me saying with all the attitude she had in her. I looked at her giving her the same look she was giving me  " sorry I have selective hearing " I nudge her out the way finally walking over to the table.

As I approached the table I hear the woman that's sitting across from the girl I just spent the last 10 minutes admiring going on about a fundraiser she was funding.

I'm guessing that was her mother cause when I asked " are you all ready to order " she spoke for the both of them.

" Yes she would like the chicken Alfredo and I would like the bake ziti "

She blurted out in an annoyed tone I didn't really care about her rudeness because whatever she just said went in one ear and out of the other simply because I was watching the younger girl who sat across from her. I was so lost in this girls eyes her thoughts became mine.

If just looking at her all day was a full time job I would retire there.

It felt like we was on a planet of our own she didn't have to talk she said whatever she needed to say through her eyes.

" Uh ma'am I don't mean to interrupt your little daydream session but we are on a time frame so it would be nice if you did your job so we can eat and get going " She looked at me smiling with her rude old ass

Ignoring her rude tactics I asked her to repeat her order selections.
As she repeated the order to me this time louder then before I guess she thought I was hard of hearing. I looked over at beauty once again not knowing her name I gave her a nickname I thought suited her.

" Will that be all " I looked her directly in her eyes for the older woman just to speak up and answer for her.

As I walked off I looked over my shoulder to see her still looking in my direction not a word had been spoken between us but looking into her eyes so many words had been said.

As I sat there and watched them prepare to leave her mother walked pass me to go to the restroom. I noticed her just sitting there I built up the courage to walk over to her. She must've felt me coming cause she turned around with a small smile on her face.

Knowing that her mother wouldn't be gone for much longer I got straight to the point  " Look I'm going to give you my number it would mean a lot to me if you used it " I grabbed my pen and pad out my apron writing my name  and number down not even waiting for her answer.

As soon as I gave her the paper she looked at me and smiled. Not just any smile but a smile of acceptance she took the piece of paper folding it and sliding it into her pocket. As soon as she did that her mother came walking back in. She gave me a look then cleared her throat " May I help you? You're tip is on the table " She smiled mischievously with that she turned around and motion for beauty to do the same.

She looked over at me noticing her mother had walked ahead of her she gave me one more smile before she left without a single word being spoken.

"Ain't  it like a 2 day rule or something? "   I looked at Ally asking. " I'm not use to being treated like this any other girl would've called or texted me before they even made it to their car. " I looked towards her seeing that she was all into her phone not even paying attention.

Getting up to walk away she finally spoke up.

" Dinah the 2 day rule was over a week and five days ago, you really need to just let that one go , if she hasn't called yet she isn't going to call at all." She sat her phone on the table looking over in my direction.

I sat there and just listen to her talk about nothing. She's going to call she didn't say she was but her eyes told it all.

So the outcome of me not being able to sleep was this.

What y'all think so far? Should I continue?
