I was at the park, walking my dog and I see Jalen at the basketball court.

"You just can't get enough of me, huh?" Jalen says as he stops to dribbling his ball.

"Maybe. You just can't get enough of basketball, huh?" I say.

"Of course not it's my first love." He says.

I smile and look down at my dog.

"Who's this, big guy?" He asks squatting down petting my dog.

I squat down with him.

"Meet the coolest dog ever.. Resse." I say.

I look at him and notice Jalen smiling and petting Reese.

Whoa, what is this mans doing to me?

"Ah, I need to get a picture and send it to my mom. She loves dogs." He says.

I manage to pose with my dog as he takes the picture. 

"You wanna see it?"

I nod.

"You're really the photographer." I say.

"You know I try." He says.

"Send that to me." I say.

"I got you, shawty." He says.

"You're literally my hero." I say.

"Sooo." He says.

"So we're at a park let's having fun!" I say running away with Reese.

I notice him running after me.

First, we played with Reese by throwing the ball back and forth. Then, we started playing basketball and soccer.

As we were getting water, he started making conversation.

"You knew how you said you would pay me back for me saving you all those times?" He asks.

"Yeahhhh." I say curiously.

"Well I have a idea." He says.

•••

We ended up eating lunch together.

"I supposed to pay you back and your paying for the dinner." I say.

"You're paying me back by being my company."  He says.

"Nope, I'm paying." I say.

"I can't let you pay on the first date." He says.

I pause.

"Ooo.. so this is a date?" I ask him.

"I mean if you want it to be." He says shrugging.

"No." I say quickly.

"That's that hurt." I hear him say to himself.

I hit him and start laughing then he laughs with me.

Maybe he's not that bad.
