"Girl dont be nervous. Its going to be fine.." Lisa assured on the phone. Cocking my head to the side just so I can hold the phone between my ear and my shoulder. Sighing heavily while biting my finger nails nervously. "Just go in the kitchen and pou- girl stop biting your nails!" She scolded, I stopped my actions before twisting my lip upward and looking around me as if i've been caught doing a bad thing.

"How do you know im biting my nails?" I furrowed my eyebrows and looked around suspiciously. With Lisa you never know. Her crazy ass could be outside of your window, eating a bucket of buffalo wings and talking to you on the phone while watching your every move.

I dont take it seriously tho. She says she does that just to annoy me.

"Girl calm yo ass. Im not outside your window today. I can just hear you chewing the fuck outta dem nails." She said. I rolled my eyes at eyes before sighing.

"Im nervous, okay? It has been very awkward between us." I said while walking to the kitchen and opening the fridge. "Sis listen, if he gets a little uptight girl just get on yo knees and suck his di-

"Lisa!" I quickly interjected and ran my hand across my face blushing from embarrassment. "Okay okay." She quickly said while laughing. " I was just kidding girl.." she said while I took out two glasses and poured orange juice. "Listen just take it easy with him, if he decides to get rowdy or something kick his ass out." I nodded as if she could see me. While I was pouring juice in the second glass I hear three knocks on my door. Lisa was still babbling in my ear while I walked over to the front door.

"And if he refuses to get out, you call me and imma kick his ass out." I opened the door, he stood there and slowly raised his head to look at me. This time he didn't have glasses on. He shyly looked down before glancing up at me and sticking his hands in his pockets.

"Simple as that." Lisa said.
I chuckled softly forgetting that lisa was on the phone. "Lisa.. I'll call you later."

She sighed." Okay love you call me later." She said." Aight love u, bye." I hung up before opening my door wider for him to come

I closed the door behind him as he looked around my house, quietly. "You want something to drink?" I offered him nervously rubbing my hands

"Yeah sure." He grinned. I turned around to walk back in the kitchen, grabbed the two drinks before walking back in the living room and giving him his drink while I took sip from mine. We walked over and sat in front of the coffee table.

There was a awkward silnece before I broke it." Okay... so.." I placed my glass on table before grabbing my note book that was on the table and opened it. Feeling his eyes on me I slowly started to grow nervous as I flipped the pages quickly trying to find an empty page.

Suddenly I felt his warm hand grab mine. I stopped my actions before i slowly turned my head to look at his hand and then to look at him.
He stared straight into my eyes making my heart skip a beat and giving me a weird fuzzy feeling. A shaky breath left my lips before he spoke. "Are you mad at me?"

I furrowed my eyebrows, confused at his question." Mad at you for what?"

He sighed." About what I said earlier? I just wanted to clarify, if I sounded too mean." He paused as I could tell he was reading my face expression." Look I ju-

"Yes you did sound mean but it's not like we are friends or anything.." I interjected his sentence. He slowly furrowed his brows. I turned my attention back to my book." Like you said.. we got nothing to talk about." I moved my hand away from his.

In the corner of my eyes I could see him staring and slowly rocking back and forth on the couch. "Look." He grabbed me again. "The reason why I said it was just to protect myself, you know what im sayin?" He said raising his voice a bit as I stared at his face in shock.

"Protect your self from who? Me?" I pointed at myself raising my brow in confusion. He sighed deeply." Yes.. Im protecting myself from girls.. girls like you." He said as he squinted and kind of pushed my hand away from his hold as if he was disgusted. He angry leaned back on the couch.

"You all the same..." he scoffed before foldning his arms across his chest.

How dare he?

Clearly offended by his words I slam my notebook shut and fully turned to him." What do you mean protect yourself from girls like me?" I rolled my neck before folding my arms across my chest." And what do you mean we all the same?" I cocked my head to the side.

He chuckled dryly." You know how y'all women be. First yall start talkin to us, making us think that we got something in common and next thing you know you already be sucking on another nigga. Thats why I gotta protect myself. Y'all ain't shit." He rolled his eyes and waved me off.

Mann who the fu-

"Okay first of all." I slowly stood up slowly and he watched me get up." You do not know me, okay? You dont know nothing about me to compare me to those hoochies you obviously fuck around with, okay?" I waved my finger in his face and I can see he was becoming slightly amused.

" And second of all.. You were cool with me on the way to school and as soon as we stepped out of your car, you started ignoring me and giving me the cold shoulder." He pursed his lips still staring at me going off on him." So I don't get it, Donald. You basically saying that im trying to play you but you made me feel that we had something in common but then you are the one acting brand nu."

I folded my arms across my chest and huffed in anger. I swallowed the lump in my throat because I felt like crying. I don't argue. Whenever I argue I start to look like the weak one because every time I get annoyed, irritated or really upset I start crying. So for Donald to come in here to start something in my house pissed me off and I needed to get him out of here before he could see the water works.

He was about to say something but I stopped him by putting my hand in his face." Look I don't want to hear it. Don't be coming up in my house trying to start some shit. I dont have time for the shenanigans, okay. I just wanted to do this project with no drama. If you are going to continue this bullshit you can help yourself out of my house." I told him before I grabbed my notebook and walked in the kitchen leaving him in the living room dumbfounded.

~~
I chilled in the kitchen for awhile, knowing that Donald didn't leave my house. Thinking that we both needed a little time to calm down. I walked back in the living room and didn't see Donald no where but his Notebook is on the table. I shrug it off maybe he is in the bathroom.

As I was walking down the hallway making my way to my bedroom. I realised that my bathroom door was slightly ajar and the light was on. Thinking that I probably forgot to turn off the lights I walked over just when I was about to open the door wider I heard movement.

Me and my nosy self peeked inside to see what was going on. I saw Donald standing in front of the mirror, mumbling things under his breath before shaking his head. I furrowed my eyebrows wondering what is he doing. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a pill bottle. He poured out he slighly shook the bottle and out came 2 pills on the palm of his hand.

He sighed before before throwing his head back and swallowing the pills. So he just gon swallow them with no water? He tryna choke and die in my house?

And why is he poppin pills in my house? Maybe he got a headache. I shrugged it off and turned around to walk back in the living room.

Five minutes went by and he came back from the bathroom and he was weirdly grinning and stuff. He came and sat next to me extremely close and just stared at the side of my face. Growing nervous I scooted away from him.

He clapped his hands making me slightly jump" So! Lets get to work." He grinned at me before turning his attention to our notebooks and opening them up.

My eyebrows furrowed and watched his weird behavior. He is eagerly tapping his fingertips against the table, creating a beat . I cocked my head to the side, staring at the back of his head like.

What is with the changes? I shook my head and went a long with it. Even though I think this is really weird.

"Ughh." I sighed as I leaned back on the couch after dropping my pen on the table. I streched my arms and groaned as if I kust woke up and watched Donald fall back on the couch too.

He smiled over at me." You tired?" I nodded. Even though at first we started bad, it was actually fun working with Donald, he was very serious about this work and I liked it because I get serious with my shit too. I like to get shit done. Even with the weird change in his demeanor I like this Donald more.

Donald checked his wristwatch and started gathering his stuff. I poued a little bit kind of disappointed that he is leaving. I got up from the couch and lead him to the door. He opened the door to step out but before he stepped out on the porch he turned around and stared deep into my eyes.

"I umm.." he nervously started." I just wanted to apologize about earlier.. I was trippin." He apologized while sticking his hands in his pants and slightly rocking back and froth and shyly glancing from to the ground.

I bit my lip trying to hide my smile because I found his shyness extremely cute. I put my hands behind my back before flashing him a soft smile. "Its okay.." I told him we stood there in am awkward silence for awhile before we both decided to speak. We laughed awkardly. "You go first." I told him."Nahh you go first.", he insisted.

"Okay well umm.. now that our song is written next time we can come up with the melody. Your house?" I suggested nodding towards him.

He nodded quickly." Yeah my house is fine.." he said before he started staring again. Another awkward silence fell upon us before I broke it. "So what did you want to say?"

"Oh yeah." He cleared his throat as I broke him off his trance." Y-yeah I just wanted to ask if.. uhh..." he nervously looked around avoiding my eyes.

I raised my brow at him waiting impatiently for him to say what he has to say. Why does he look so nervous?

"If what?

If y-you'd like to go o-out sometime?" He stuttered and looked straight in my soul.
In shock of his question I didn't answer him giving him the impression that I don't want to go.
"Im sorry, I shouldn't have asked.. just forget it.." he waved me off before turning around to walk away. Before he could walk away from me I called out for him. "Hey."

He turned around slowly. I rested my head against the door frame." Are you asking me on a date?" I grinned shyly.
