Our First Date

Baybid had on a red sweater, dark blue jeans, and his brown Tim's on. We were at a poetry event that Txstate has every year...at the end of the year. Two almost three weeks prior I had just broken up with my boyfriend of 3 years whom had cheated on me and gotten the girl pregnant. Before this night, I had actually met, spoke to, saw David maybe 4 times on campus...and each time I saw him I thought about him for longer than the conversation, glance, or sighting. He was gorgeous (still is). But I never minded him because of my relationship. But at this poetry thing I saw him sitting in the back of the teaching theater (next to some rat looking chick). Either way I asked every girl that was my girl sitting next to me who he was, but no one really knew. But my one Kita did, she said "his name is David. He be in my bible study classes. He really nice." I heard his name and almost shuttered in my seat (my dad's name is David...can't date a guy with the same name as his ass!). I then saw David get up and walk out of the door. I thought he was leaving so I chased him (not the Ebony I even know, but something made me do it). When I got outside the door, he was GONE! I looked down stairs, came back up and ran into him almost as he was coming out of the restroom. I was embarrassed, but he spoke to me. Complementing my poetry...smiling at me with his big grin.

That night I called a few of my friends to get his last name, no one really knew it but then my one told me she thought it was Braswell. She knew a little bit more about him, like the fact that he used to be in the Marines. DAMN! Two strikes already and I ain't even talked to him yet. I called my sister Pizza, and she talked me into rethinking the strikes. Told me that he could be different, and that I should ask him out for coffee or something (my sister is a bit odd-lol). I people searched him on Txstate website and came across the only David Braswell there was. My poet wrote him a poem and emailed it to him (which I will post later). He didn't respond to it (it was kinda late). My (used to be) one called me and said that he was at a party with her and that I should come out, but my insecurities told me no, but my bold-self said, just give him my phone number...see what's up...if he calls maybe we can go on a date. And then I turned my phone off at 12:00 (lol).

The next morning was Dead Day at Txstate. I turned on my flip and I had one new message from 12:05! David was saying that he got my number from my one and he wanted me to call him back. I acted like a highschooler, jumping in my bed, screaming like crazy! Composed myself and called him....dunn dunn dunn!

My sisters words were going through my head as the phone rang, and right before I was about to whimp out he answered. We made plans to go out for Breakfast (more like Brunch). He came to pick me up and I had on a light pink (def not my color) velour and he had on a black wind-breakers outfit. He was listening to Jay-Z and he looked shorter than yesterday (lol). But the Jay-Z gave him points. We looked for a Golden Corral (but like I told him then, San Marcos doesn't have one). Then we went to Luby's (but they always have diff times on their door). He put his arm around me walking to the door...making me his girl and he didn't even know it. We after that went to I-Hop (what else was left). Sunshine was our waitress and a damn good one. We sat across from each other with a window behind me, but he never looked out it. He kept his eyes on mine. We ate then laughed for 3-almost 4 HOURS!!! I got the International Pancake Breakfast, and he got the Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast. We talked about so much I can't even tell it all. No awkward silences, and no mean looks (from me). He made my side hurt and his mouth opened so wide I saw his cavities (lol).

We were together the whole day and have been inseparable since.

It was inevitable...
