                                                                                 Lost boy

I had Rico looking for Romero, I haven't heard anything from him yet, damn its like he didn't want to be found. Mrs. Taylor still won't talk to me, and she won't tell Felix where Romero is either. I put my running shorts on and went to the park, maybe Romero will show up there he runs at this time of day. I got there and looked around I didn't see my baby, I sat on a bench if he's here he'll have to run passed here, if he hasn't already been here.

There were plenty of people running by but none of them were Romero, I looked at the time if he's here he would have showed up by now. This dude came over to where I was sitting, he said he noticed me sitting here am I alright. I said I'm okay, he sat down and asked me am I sure, he is a good listener if its not something  too personal, I don't know why I told him what was going on with me. He listened to me, he said if Romero comes back its meant for us to be together, if not I have to move on with my life. I know he was making sense but that's not what I wanted to hear, he said oh he's sorry for being so rude he's Byron Douglas, I told him my name he said its nice to meet  Xavier Thomas.

Byron asked me would I like to have coffee with him, I said sure I don't have anything else to do, sense Romero's not here, he said he doesn't mind being second choice. We went for coffee and talked some more, Byron seems like a nice guy but he wasn't Romero. He asked could he call me sometime, I said I don't think so he gave me his number and said when I'm up to it feel free to call him, I already know he's a great listener. I took his number, Byron said he had to get going and he hopes I'll call him, he smiled at me and left.

I saw this guy staring at me, he wasn't my type at all he smiled at me, he got up and walked towards my table, he said could he get the sugar I gave it to him, I was waiting for his bullshit line. He said excuse me but my privates is out of my running shorts, and he walked away I just got up and left. I went home maybe God sent Byron to me, since I haven't heard from Romero, maybe its not meant for us to be together.

 A few days later I got the balls to call Byron, and I asked him to have dinner, with me, he said sure when and where, I said my place around six Friday night I'll text him my address, he said okay and he's looking forward to seeing me. I hung up and thought was I doing the right thing inviting him here, he could be a killer or something, I said well I just have to take that chance. I texted him my address, I looked around and said its time I got some furniture in this place, I wanted Romero to help me with that but he's not here. So I called Dink or Mr. Darnell he's good at stuff like that, Felix told me he did there house, I gave him a call he said he'll be over in an hour, I gave him my address and hung up.

Felix came over and he asked me have I heard from Rico yet, I said no maybe I should call him, he said if Rico had any news he would have called me. He looked around and said damn still no furniture in this place, I told him I called Dink, he's on his way now. Felix said he'll make sure he's gone before he gets here Dink is good at what he did but he's a pain in the ass, and nuts too. I laughed the doorbell rang Felix said damn he should have just called me, I said its cool. I answered the door and Dink was standing out there with some pink shorts and pink shoes Felix just laughed, and said he'll call me later, he said hello to Dink and walked out. Dink said is it something he said, I told him no Felix was leaving anyway I told him to come in.

Dink looked around and said he could do a lot with this place, I told him I just needed him to get started in here, I needed it done by Friday and he can do the rest of the house later, he said okay what kind of furniture did I like or did I want him to pick it out. I looked at the way he's dressed and I told him I have some magazines, we can look at them, lets go in the kitchen that's done and my bedroom and I have a billiard room that has a pool table and games in it, he said a game room. Dink said at least I had the most two important rooms together, I looked at him he said the kitchen and the bedroom after all that fucking people want to eat after a good fuck.
