It was Saturday and I was off, which was rare. My days off were usually Mondays and Fridays. I woke up late and jumped in the shower. It was beautiful out and I had plans to hang out with one of my girlfriends.
I took some time with my hair, and put on a tight lime green tank and my favorite ripped skinny jeans that showed more thigh than they covered. I loved them because they were super stretchy and comfortable; and of course they made my big butt look yummy. A spritz of perfume and some flip flops and I was out the door.
Heidi lived about 20 minutes away from me but I didn't mind the drive. I picked her up and we decided to grab something to eat. I was in the mood for Spanish food so we picked a Caribbean restaurant that had really good & cheap 'arroz con pollo'.
"So what have you been up to?" asked Heidi.
"You know. Just working and trying to keep my sanity. Danny is in DR so I have some time to myself." I replied in between bites.
"And you're not worried about what he might be doing there?"
"Not really. I feel like I stopped caring. Plus, I can't say that I've been a good girl lately."
"Oooh, do tell." Heidi loved to hear all the juicy details. She leaned in towards me.
"So... I went out on Wednesday with Jenny, Mike, Rob, & Jose. We went to Calentura and there was a bunch of bikers there..." I began, and then proceeded to tell her everything that happened that night.
"Wowww...that's hot. I don't think I ever had a guy eat me in public like that. When are you going to see him again?" she inquired.
"I don't know. We've been in touch daily but he keeps talking about taking me for a ride on the motorcycle and I'm not ready for that."
"You should go. Live, have fun. I would. YOLO girl. You only live once."
And at that moment my phone rang. It was James. I showed Heidi the screen. She mouthed 'OMG'.
"Hey you..." I said after picking up the call.
"Hey gorgeous. What are you up to?" he asked, his voice deep and sexy.
"Eating with one of my girls, and yourself?"
"Just getting up." I heard him stretching. "What do you have planned for today?"
"I haven't made any plans, yet. Just hanging with my friend for now." I replied.
"I see...so how about you tell your girl that you'll see her some other time, and come spend the day with me?"
"I can't leave right now. We just got here." I told him. My heart started racing at the thought of meeting up with him today.
"Do me a favor, baby, and hand your friend the phone for a sec." He said.
"What?"
"You heard me. Let me talk to her real quick."
"Heidi, he wants to talk to you." I told my friend and handed her the phone.
"Huh?" she asked, surprised.
I watched as she put the phone by her ear and said "Hello" and then her expression changed from surprise, to shock, and then she chuckled.
"Ok, no problem, hun...bye...here she is." And she gave me back my cell.
"What did you say to her?" I asked James.
"She'll tell you if she wants to, but I'm sure she's fine with you leaving to come see me. Let's meet up across the bridge. You can park your car, and we'll go on the bike from there. I have a helmet for you."
"The bike? You can't pick me up in your car?" I really wasn't ready. I felt my heart rate increase and my palms started sweating.
"Mami the bike is not what you should be afraid of..." he teased. "I promise I'll take it easy at first and let you get used to it...the bike, too. "
I bit my lip remembering how big he was. I agreed to meet him in an hour. After I hung up the phone, I sat there for a second shaking my head.
"So what's the plan?" asked Heidi.
"I'm going to meet him in an hour across the bridge in Queens. He'll be on the bike." I gave her the 'save me' look.
