I met Her 4 Coffee

The rain was moving at a rapid rate! My phone started to ring and this told me that this night in Seattle would not catch me with any sleep! The clock was flirting with midnight and my eyelids were due for an inspection!

I turned my phone over, and it read “The Truest Gem” calling! I answered with a slightly raspy voice, “hello, is everything OK?” With a hint of concern in my tone! She said, “it’s me! There’s this coffee shop on the corner of your building and I know the hour is late, but your touch was like no other!”

She spoke life into my boxers! I mean my heart and I asked, “how long you been there? Why didn’t you just come up?” She replied, “I had to study and I didn’t want to disturb your sleep because the last time, passion was not giving way to our sleep schedule!” We shared a laugh and I gently interrupted our happy moment, “you could have came up, I was having trouble sleeping anyway!”.

“Why don’t you come down and give me a hug! I need something solid on a rainy night like this!” I definitely had something solid to give her! The better part of me submitted to her request, “give me ten minutes, I’ll be right there!”

I hung up the phone and started to put on my clothes as if I was running for my life and trying to escape a burning building! My heart started beating fast and thought she wouldn’t return my call! We messed up a perfect date and took things too far as the next morning met us with guilt, misunderstanding and a hint of joy!

I knew that I messed things up and couldn’t get a full read on her as she rushed out of my loft the next morning as if she needed to work on Saturday at 6am!

I finally got myself together and stopped by Ms. Rose’s unit and begged her to open her shop for a few flowers! She answered the door with her bat, “oh, if it ain’t ole Love Spelled again! You heard from that cute girl you couldn’t stop talking about? The one that cleared your sinuses up with your nose open smelling all of creation! What trouble you got yourself into? Boy! It’s 11:53! A woman like me need my rest! I could of had company! What you want, young fool?”

“Ms. Rose, it’s an emergency! I need something solid flowers quick! She’s at the coffee shop and she told me to come down!” Ms. Rose leaned back and put her glasses to her face. “Sweet Heavens, this boy is in love!”

“Stop messing around, Ms. Rose before she leaves!” “Oh hush, young fool! You got to learn patience and smooth your way into the coffee shop!” Ms. Rose grabbed her shop keys and wrapped her robe tightly around her and said, “I got to cover up before some other man see me and fall to temptation!” She motioned down the hall with her hand, “come on Love Spelled, let’s get you some flowers and this time you are getting charge for the premium emergency package! And bring me back one of those cold mockeotoes, so I can wash my bourbon down!”

I thought to myself if this old lady doesn’t stop! I have a quick exhale to catch up with the moment. Ms. Rose and I finally made it to the shop! “Here is the one arrangement you need to walk in there with that will make her toss her panties and wrap them around your face!”

“Ms. Rose! Keep it PG-Rated now!” “Shut up and give me $250 for waking me up over some girl that got your nose wide open!”
