Jaime
“You have a date tonight?” My roommate asked me.
“Yeah, sort of.” I tell her.
“Sort of? Either your going on a date or you are not.” Shelly my roommate says.
“It is a first date, I know him but I have not seen him in awhile.” I tell her.
“How long is awhile?” Shelly asks.
“We have not seen each other in 2 years, we went to college together.” I tell her.
“Oh. So hopefully this is the start of something new!” Shelly squeals.
I smile and shrug. I am nervous about this date. I have always liked this man, I know he is an amazing gentleman. However, I also know he has issues that he really needs to deal with. I’m hoping he has.
When I graduated college I was single and ready to meet my Mr Right. So far he has yet to show up.
I had a serious relationship and it ended badly my first year in college. My cousin Jay knew I was hurt and told me to watch the movie The Sweetest Thing.
Jay is a firm believer that you can find the answer to your problems in a movie, you just need to pay attention to them. Trust me he knows which movie you need to watch too. It is the weirdest thing how he does that and is right.
In the movie The Sweetest Thing, Cameron Diaz’s character says it isn’t about Mr Right, it is more about Mr Right now. Jay told me to go out have fun and don’t worry about Mr Right. He come along when that time is right so stop worrying.
The funny thing with Jay is he is able to help you with your life, especially your love life. With his love life, he never takes his own advice. So he got hurt a lot.
That was until he finally did find the Mr Right. Their journey wasn’t easy but they got there and now he lives in Florida with the love of his life planning a fabulous wedding to him.
I hope I can find the love of my life like Jay did. Maybe that’s why I decided to go out tonight with this guy I went to college with. I’m getting older and I just want my fairytale now.
It doesn’t help that my best friend Keira, found hers with her high school sweetheart. Now she has a beautiful baby girl and another one on the way with him.
Being around baby Eliza and seeing Keira so happy, it makes me want that. First I need to find my prince. Going out on this date tonight is a start on my search for my Prince Charming.
The doorbell rings and Shelly answered the door. I rent this apartment with Shelly. It helps with expenses to share the rent.
Shelly is a great roommate and also become a great friend too. Especially since she is single too. I love Keira, but a married friend sometimes isn’t someone you want to complain to about the asshole you went on a date with last night.
“Jaime, it is your date.” Shelly yells.
I come out of the bedroom and I can see the back of him standing there. He is wearing dark jeans and a polo shirt. He is 6’0, short, dark wavy hair. He actually has gotten more muscular since college.
He always had a nice body, but I like how his body is cut now. It really gives him more s*x appeal. He was always sexy, but now it is in the Greek god level.
Ok, Jaime, I have to keep my sanity around him. I can’t just fall for his good looks. I can’t let how sexy he is sweep me off my feet, I need to keep my sanity with him.
“Hi Kevin.” I say.
He turns around and flashes me that smile I used to love seeing on him. My knees go weak seeing that smile.
“Hey James, my god, you look beautiful.” He says to me.
I hope I’m not making a mistake by going out on a date with Kevin Kincade. He broke my heart in college, and I really do not want that to happen again.
