Chapter 6

It was finally the night of me and Michael first date. My girls was at my house. They was suppose to be helping me get ready. The kids was with my mom so i had a free weekend. I was going through my closet trying to find the perfect outfit before Sheka did my hair and makeup. 

"Wear the red dress with the 10 inch red bottoms." Suggested Kita. 

"I'm not trying to look like a stripper on our first date."

Michael and I had been texting everyday through out the day. He made sure he called me every night. We sat on the phone for hours. I felt like I had known him for years. I told him about my marriage and where it went wrong. And he told me about his marriage. We both needed real love in our life. 

"When do we met him?" Asked Jessica. 

"Will y'all please let us get through our first day first?  Y'all just wanna be up in his business. You guys I really like him. So let's not run him away yet."

"We wanna screen him before you get too far in like Damien. We gotta give him the sisters approval. We just want you to be happy Luv." Replied Sheka. 

I decided on a little black dress that covered me but showed off my curves with the red bottom shoes that they suggested. Sheka flat iron my natural long hair and gave me a soft beat makeover . I was set and looked amazing. As soon as I was ready, I rushed them out the door and waited for my date to arrive.

Micheal took me to this Mexican restaurant that i had wanted to try. I love the atmosphere. It was cozy and romantic. 

"Micheal I love it here. The food looks good." The menu had all kind of choices. I don't know what i wanted to eat. 

"Yes, I use to come here just to wind down. It's nice and I know the owner. Anything you pick is going to taste wonderful."

I couldn't help but notice that he keep looking at me. I blushed. I was starting to get that feeling all over my body. I kept crossing my legs to try to keep my body from going there. I guess it had been months and it was letting me know it needed some attention. 

"Shunshine, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes, anything."

"What do i have to do to become a permanent part of your life. I know it seem like I'm moving fast but these past couple weeks, just seem like we belong together. I have never felt this way about anybody." Micheal expressed to me.

I knew exactly what he was saying. I felt the same way. When ever I had a bad day, i only had to hear his voice to make it better. He sent me just because flowers. He made time throughout the day just to seen me thinking of you text. 

"You doing exactly what you need to do. And Micheal i never felt like this either."

It was like we just clicked. I only had to think of him and I would smile. I didn't wanna move too fast but I was willing to see where things go. Things was finally falling into place with Damien. He was finally talking to me. He no longer tried to talk about us. All our conversations was about the kids.

After dinner, he invited me to his house. Just to chill and talk. He house looked exactly like a bachelor pad.

"Want a tour or you just wanna watch a movie."

"Let's watch a movie."

He went and poured us some wine and picked a movie. He chose Love and Basketball. It happened to be my favorite movie. I had mentioned it to him one night we was on the phone. We found out that we had a lot of things in common. He popped us some popcorn, and we snuggled on the couch. During the movie, I noticed him looking at me. For some reason, i felt bold and leaned in for a kiss. I could tell he was shocked but quickly got into the kiss.  When I say we had sparks shooting off. I wanted him right then and there. As he started to take off my shirt, I stopped him. I didn't wanna ruin this before it really started.

"Micheal, we can't. This mean more to me than a quick lay.

"I understand baby."

We went back to the movie. Eventually we fell asleep  . 

I woke up sometime round six in the morning. I looked at Micheal and had an urge to kiss him. I resisted because I still had morning breath. I wrote him a note that i had a good time and would call him later in the day. 

I rushed home to get my day started and call my girls. I know they was waiting by the phone. 

i called my girls to tell them that I had basically spent the night with Micheal. They wanted all the details but to tell the truth, nothing really happened. I told them about the kids and they was excited. I was feeling pretty happen, so i cleaned the whole house and crawled up with a good book. Around one some, Micheal called to check on me. That man knows the way to my hurt. I thought about him all day. There was some about a man that knows exactly what to do and when to do it. He was just what i needed after the marriage I was leaving.

I finally made up my mind to call my lawyer. I told her that i wanted to fill for divorce. I was kind of hesitate about it. But only because I hadn't mentioned it to Damien. We was just getting on speaking terms, but with Micheal in the picture, it was time. She asked me fifty times was i sure. I was adamant about it. I was ready.
