Faith and coffee

I immediately rush to get his robe, handing it to him, I face away as he came out the pool " am sure you know you're not suppose to be here " I turned around facing Tyrone, his wet hair made this look Magazine worthy,

"I.....I didn't know that " he nodded yet completely ignored me " sure you didn't " I gulped, " I seriously did not know " I said surprise by my voice coordination , he tilts his head as he observed me, he stares at me from my wet legs to my inappropriate dress to my curly brown hair, his remarkable green eyes met my brown,

" Are you one of Fred's girls?? " I looked away nervously " most definitely not " he nods again yet ignored me " figure he doesn't really do you type, how did you get up her then "

" I got lost " I said and he laughed almost immediately " Fred throws a party almost every week since I left and got lost, tell me something believable "

The normal me would have diced him by now, but this me was speechless, "I have no reason to lie, anyway am sorry I'll be going now " I turned around still unsure how to make it to the living room " hey " I immediately turned around " just take this stairs it would lead you right back to the entrance " I nodded, what was wrong with me,

To God i almost slipped, wet legs, and shit I left my heels, well Carrie's heels, I brought my phone and dialed her, straight to voicemail " hey C, meet you back at the dorm " I said jumping into a taxi barefooted.

I woke up Saturday really late, still in last night dress, Carrie on the other hand was already up doing her morning stretches, " morning Gia, I thought you died in your sleep " I groan " that's what half a can of beer does to people " she laughs " what's your Saturday plan " she asked " the usual, coffee, romance novel by the beach at Ravens Court, that's pretty much it " I shouted from the bathroom " geez what would you do when you're sixty " I rolled my eyes

" When are you going to go on a date or something " I spat the paste from my mouth " after I get my college diploma in photography, open my own gallery, and kick start my acting career" she scoff " for a girl who doesn't socialize much you have so many social related dreams " I smile "with big dreams fuels strong determination" she laughs " who said that one, your mom " I shake my head "my brother " we both laughed

" But on a serious note, you can't be single till then, babe you're nineteen, live life " i sigh " I just haven't found Mr all round perfect " she sat down on my bed " yeah, but you can't pull him out of your romance novel, Sm institution of Art and Culture has so many single, hot and for additional bonus rich guys " I roll my eyes "then Subtract the alcoholics, drug addicts, gays, I won't say ugly cause it's not about what's on outside but yeah the not so attractive ones then the taken ones, that leaves us with " she sigh " the totally out of our league " I nodded with a satisfied smile

She frowns " but still there's still a small portion of boys if not in our school then outside " I sigh as my mind drifted towards last night, I pictured Tyrone as he came out of the water,

" If you don't get a guy I'll set you up with one " Carrie said i smirked "then get me Tyrone blue " I said all of a sudden, she froze for a while before laughing really hard " darling if I had a way to get almighty Tyrone Blue, I wouldn't be here in the same dorm as you fighting over the last slice of pizza every Sunday " I laughed " even Oprah Winton our school goddess can only get a fraction of his attention due to the fact that she spends more time with him than anybody else"

I grabbed my towel " let close this chapter, C " she sigh in defeat "fine" she gave in dragging the e.

I admire my blue and white button up shirt which was tucked into my baggy shorts paired with my worn out boots, I looked, well, okay for a girl who doesn't shop much, got my hair in a perfect bun and strolled out.

They was a coffee shop beside our dorm, but nothing screamed Saturday without Raven's Courts coffee it's the Starbucks of Saint Monica, not to mention it's ocean view, I was half way through my novel when someone sat in front of me " Gia?? " he called i stared at him, my lips slowly squeeze into a frown " you!!" I exclaimed staring at him Dexter,

I immediately dropped the cash for the coffee and walked out but he followed me, " Gia can we talk " I stopped " leave me alone before I call the police " he held my hands " I'll take my chances " I removed my hand " you have thirty seconds " he sigh

" Last night I went too far, am sorry, I got carried away "

" Twenty five " he held my hands again

" I’m not like other guys, I don't want what you think I want, before anything else I really want to be your friend " I stared at him, from his expensive looking shirt to his definitely expensive leather shoes " let me ask you a question, how did you find me" he smiles a little " faith i guess " he said with a smirk

Honestly I wanted to be his friend, my friend zone runs down Carrie to well nobody else, and I felt like we connected last night before he completely turned me off, did I say that right,

" I’m truly sorry " I looked away "fine whatever " he's smile grew " thank you, let me buy you coffee " I shake the cup of coffee in my hands " I think am good " I grabbed my coffee and trashed it " I'll just get you a new one then" I scoff letting out a short chuckle soon after.

We sat down outside this time, I didn't order anything except the coffee he bought and he had a delicious plate of spaghetti " so, Dexter, the what's your full name " he plays with his spaghetti " are you scared I'll run away or something " I scoff "am just trying to know the full name of the person I might or might not file a restraining order against " he laughs "it's Dexter Washington" I smirked "strong name" he smiles " and yours? "

" Giavanni Adleigh " he laughs "and your name is very confusing " I sip my coffee " yeah it makes me harder to find " we stared at each order for a moment,

" So Dexter, what do you do or what do you study " he sat up straight "Geez, I feel like am on a date, well am a script writer, so what am studying is pretty much clear, at this moment am finishing the final chapter of my first movie before the casting "

I gasp dramatically " you are a busy man " he blushed, well that's what I think he was doing "what about you, let me guess, aspiring super model slash hot *** accountant " I laughed "far from it, am studying photography, but do I look like that though " he laughs " with your Feisty attitude, damn right you do" we laughed.

He walked me out as I waited for a taxi, "i can drop you off, my car is around the corner " I smile " we might be on first name basis, but I still have to keep my wall this high " I said raising my hand above my shoulder, he brings it down to my stomach " am not really a jumper, but this i can jump through " I smile getting into a taxi " see you around, Dexter "

" Wait I didn't even get your number" I smile " we'll just let that same faith do her thing " I said as the cab drove off.
