Just A Dad. A place for encouragement and support

Part Five: Together

Later that day

I called to see if she

Wanted to go out for coffee

I accepted his invitation

Go out for coffee

I needed a break after work anyway

So I ran home real quick

To put my stuff down

Any splash on some smell goods

Seeing that I was only five minutes

Away from the coffee shop

I headed there to get a table

I sent her a text

Letting her know that I am on my way

To go ahead and order me a caramel latte

Her telling me that she had feelings for me

Reassured me

Gave me that spark of hope

It made me feel better

Maybe he would be the one

To make me fall in love again

Maybe I’m not rushing things

Just scared

Scared to let her down

Scared that I may not be her kingHer provider

What if I am not fit enough

To be his queen

Should I still keep my walls up

And not let him in

What if

I’m overthinking this

We both have a connection

A bond

That somehow

Happened quicker than expected

Do I really put my feelings on hold

And allow my heart

To give him a chance

A pass

Per say

to enter my world

No more excuses

No more time to think about what if

No more time to second guess myself

No more doubts

No more worrying what may happen

No more worrying about the past

Time to focus on the now

Time to focus on the here

I open the door and there she sitsMy mocha covered beauty

That smile

Is the only thing that matters

I make my way over

There he is

Am I sure about this?

Fuck. He’s wearing that cologne

Cue the faucet

Might as well get used to it

Hey

Hey

Thanks for ordering my drink!

Yea, I just got it so be careful.

Got it. Good day at work?

Well, after you called…it was!

Glad I was able to make your day better

Trust me, I’m glad too.

So, the kiss had the same effect on you

I mean, were you really going to kiss me first?

I’m dead ass! I was thinking about it

When you went to the bathroom.

I had to ask my friend girl should I.

And…?

Her ass said stop playing and get you some

Wow! Thanks friend girl!

She crazy! I’ll let you meet her one daySo, where do we go from here?

I guess we change our status like they

Do on social media.

To? Dating?

Yes. I believe that we have a connection

And I’m ignoring all of my doubts

Bypassing my feelings

To hope and pray

That you will bring real love

I understand

Trust me I do

I just want to be able to keep you smiling

I want to be around when you need that support

Someone who is not like the others

That took your heart

Like a thief in the night

Please don’t hurt me

Leaving me to question love again

I’m giving you my all

And your all

Is more than enough for me

Are we ready

To do this

We are

Together
