Back To Black

LATANYA

Only a few days later I was back at it. I was out here in the world being single and ready to mingle. I was back at my hangout spot waiting for my match. I should call him Tami's match. She picked this guy, and I had to act like I wasn’t dragged here kicking and screaming.

I realized I was sitting at the same table I had on two of my other dates. I wasn’t going to act rude. I would act inviting, engaging, and all those marvelous things. I waved my hand in the air when I spotted Charleston, my date.

Charleston was an attractive African American man in his thirties. He had one of those gym bodies, chiseled muscles, lean with dark brown poured all over his skin. He was fine, but he was a brother and men like him had twenty or thirty women hanging all over him waiting for him to choose them. He was dressed to impress, and it impressed me. He was in a crisp pale blue, button down, long sleeve, t-shirt and tailored black slacks.

He approached me with confidence and loads of swag. He opened his arms as he bent to give me a hug I returned. We exchanged a few compliments before he left me to order our coffee. He looked good from all angles and he had the whitish brightest teeth behind a perfect smile. Guys like this were not my cup of tea. I could look at him and tell he was popular.

I sat patiently while I waited for him to return. Charleston walked to the table with two cups of coffee in hand. He placed the coffee cups on the table and pulled back the vacant chair and sat across from me.

“Thanks for the coffee, Charleston.”

He grinned. “No problem, you can call me Charles. Charleston’s a mouthful.”

“Okay, Charles.”

“I’m glad you hit me up on the site. A lot of the women you send messages to never respond.”

He didn’t even have a clue it was my friend that facilitated this meeting. “Sometimes you got to just take a chance on people.”

“Right, I feel the same way. You shoot your shot and see what happens.”

“Yeah.”

Charleston’s eyes scanned the quaint restaurant. “So this place let’s Black people sit at a table without ordering.”

“Yes, and they let us use the bathroom too without making a purchase.”

Charleston chuckled. “I need to come here more often. How progressive of them just letting Black folks chill in peace and treating us like human beings.” I giggled. “It’s nice to chill in peace.”

“Hey, what made you respond to my message?” He asked.

“You seemed like a nice guy. Or I should say you look like a nice guy.”

“I am a nice guy, a very nice guy. You know what they say about us though?”

“That you finish last.”

“We finish last and we run out of gas.” He joked. I couldn’t help but giggle. Charles was silly. “That was corny, I know. Did you work today?”

“Yes, I went home and changed.
