I am in my bedroom and put my hair in a side Dutch braid then I wear a dark purple flowy tank top, with white shorts, and some black gladiator sandals.
My phone then started to buzz on my dresser.
I smile when I see who’s calling me, and then answer.
“Hey beautiful, I just got out of the store, so I’ll be there in about ten minutes to come and get you.” Charles tells me over the phone.
“Alright, see you then.” I chuckled.
“See you then babe.” He says.
After he hanged up, I put my phone in my back pocket, and then decided to go downstairs.
I went in my kitchen, then I opened my freezer, and grabbed a bag of some Tyson buffalo chicken strips, after putting the bag onto the kitchen island, I grabbed a paper plate, and put four pieces on the plate, then put the plate in my microwave and put it in for three minutes.
I then grabbed a plastic fork and plastic knife, whilst waiting for my food to be done.
Once the timer went off, I grabbed my plate of goodness and then put it on the kitchen island.
And I then started to dig in.
~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~
“I don’t mind spending every day, out on the corner in the pouring rain, look for the girl with the broken smile, ask her if she wants to stay awhile.” Charles sings while we currently head over to his house.
Gosh it feels like that movie I’ve seen in theaters when I was fourteen.
Just don’t remember the name of it.
But I loved it a lot.
“Oh my gosh Charles.” I laughed.
“What? I’m a good singer.” He chuckles, whilst driving.
“Uh no, you aren’t.” I tell him truthfully.
He playfully gasps.
Making me try not to snort.
“Babe, that’s so mean.” He says with a frown, but eyes are still fixated on the street ahead of us.
I then leaned over and kissed his cheek.
“I’m sorry babe, but I still love you.” I say pulling away and then grabbing his hand.
While we were holding hands, he reached our intertwined hands up to his mouth and then planted a kiss onto the back of my hand.
“Well good, because I still love you.” He tells me with a smile on his face.
~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~
I sat down next to Shelly at the table outside, with the Anderson’s beautiful pool in my view in front of me.
“Wow, that’s a lot of food Macie.” Shelly chuckles while eating a hotdog.
I had on my plate two hotdogs, one cheeseburger, three pieces of fried asparagus, and two corn on the cobs.
All from the grill of course.
“What can I say, I’m a very hungry girl.” I chuckled.
Making Shelly laugh.
“That you apparently are.” Shelly laughs.
I then smiled at her, and then started to eat.
Later on, I was eating my second cheeseburger, when I felt someone tap my shoulder.
I see it’s Carol, Charles’ mama.
“Let’s go, Charles’ daddy wants you both.” She tells me, with her Southern accent sounding even more excited.
I nodded my head, and then followed her through the small crowd of people.
I then run into Charles’ arms and we both looked at his grinning daddy, holding two letters in his hands.
“You both got accepted into the University of Louisville.” His daddy says while handing us our letters.
“How did you guys have my letter sent here?” I asked him while reading my letter.
“I called the school and had them mail the letter here instead because I want us both to open up our acceptance letters.” Charles whispers into my ear.
“Oh.” Was all I said.
I felt him kiss the top of my head.
“Yeah, oh.” He chuckles whilst rubbing my back with his free hand.
The one that isn’t holding his own acceptance letter.
I cannot believe that I got in.
“Is that what this barbeque was about?” I ask all of them.
Both of his parents looked at me, and both nodded their heads, grinning so much, that their mouths are probably hurting.
“Thank you, guys.” I tell them then give them both a hug.
“You are most welcome baby girl.” His mama tells me while patting my back and giving it a good quick rub.
I then run back into Charles’ arms and pushed my face into his chest.
I hear him chuckle and feel it vibrating through his toned chest.
He then wraps his arms around me, and I started to cry.
“Aw, why is she crying?” I hear his mama ask.
“Because, that was the school she wanted to be accepted into.” Charles tells her, I then feel him kiss my head.
“Oh, that’s some cute s**t right there.” I hear Shelly say.
“Yeah, and she wanted to be in the same school as me, I hope that she would too to be honest.” He explains to them.
I then placed a kiss on his chest.
This is the best barbeque ever.
I then heard some clapping.
“My son Charles, just got accepted AND committed to go play for the University of Louisville next fall, GO f*****g CARDS!!!!” His daddy yells out.
Making everyone cheer and clap.
I felt one arm leave my waist, which made me peep up at it waving.
“Thank you, guys, I’m so beyond happy to continue playing football.” He tells them all with a huge cute smile.
Everyone then kept applauding.
~*~*~*~**~*~**~
I kept vomiting and vomiting.
Maybe because I ate a lot today.
I then hear a knock on my door.
“Babe, are you okay in there?” I hear Charles ask me.
Damn, I forgot for a second that I am not at home.
“Yeah, I’m okay babe, just ate so much.” I lied.
“Okay beautiful, I’ll be in my room when you are done.” He tells me.
I then hear his footsteps fade away.
Making me let out a sigh of relief.
That was a f*****g close call there.
