Eric was watching one of his horror movies, while we waited for the food. I crouched on the corner of the couch with a pillow ready to cover my face, expecting a gruesome moment.
âI donât know why you love these movies, Eric,â I grumbled.
Eric chuckled and grabbed some popcorn from the bowl on the coffee table. A loud knock sounded on the door.
âYes! That must be lunch,â I said as I quickly got up.
Xavier stood in the doorway, his hand in a fist, about to knock again. He was wearing a black shirt with his uncleâs barbershop logo on it and dark jeans.
âHey,â he said.
âHi.â
âHey, Eric,â he said to my brother.
Eric raised his hand to wave, his concentration still on the movie.
âUm, can we talk?â he said.
âSure. Come in.â
âSomewhere private.â
âLetâs go downstairs to the bar.â
We descended the stairs, our feet clanking on the metal staircase. Chairs sat on top of the tables in the empty bar. We slid down on a booth across from each other. Xavier took a paper napkin from the holder and started to slowly tear at it.
âI hear youâll be doing your practical at Keck hospital,â he said.
âYeah, with Laila.â
âMartin Luther King Jr. Community hospital is a good place to train, so Iâm happy about it.â
I frowned. âDid you want to talk about our clinical practices in private?â
âIâve liked you since the moment Laila introduced you to our study group, but I held off pursuing you because I thought you only saw me as a friend. After the kiss the night after the club â¦â His eyes met mine. âIâm thinking there could be more there.â
I licked my dry lips, my heart thrashing in my chest. âXavier, I â¦â
âThere is this restaurant Iâve always wanted to try. Iâve made a reservation for tomorrow, and Iâd love to take you there.â
âAre you asking me out on a date?â
He beamed, his teeth white against his brown skin. âYes, Iâm asking you out on a date. So what do you say?â
There was a pregnant silence as my mind raced. The kiss with Xavier was good, but it hadnât made me dizzy. Being around Alex made me feel warm and giddy. His touch seemed to release a million butterflies in my stomach. However, my feelings hadnât always led me down the right path with men.
Maybe my feelings for Xavier could become stronger if we tried being more romantic and not just friends. With that in mind, I said, âYes, Iâll go on a date with you.â
He let out a howl of laughter and clapped his hands. âYes! Iâll pick you up at eight tomorrow.â His enthusiasm made me laugh.
âGreat.â He looked at his watch. âI have to get back to work or my uncle will rip me a new one.â
We slipped out of the booth. We stood, his hands firm on my shoulders as he gave me a quick kiss on my mouth.
âCanât wait for tomorrow,â he whispered.
âLet me walk you out.â
I pushed the bar doors open, and Xavier walked out at the same time as the young delivery man arrived with our lunch.
