Sometimes the problem is you

The Girl.
Do you know how every guy says he wants a girl who is “easy to be around?” Well, Desiray was just that. We met a couple of weeks after that time I was accused of kidnapping a white woman. Specifically, at the Borders Bookstore on 34th street (RIP Borders). I was on a serious Eric Jerome Dickey binge (Also RIP) and I guess she was too because we ended up going for the same book. In one of the few times I have made the correct decision when trying to impress a woman, I let her take the book, in exchange for a cup of coffee. As corny as that offer was, it worked.
We spent the next four hours laughing and talking about our favorite books, exchanging songs on our Ipods (It was a long time ago), and debating over politics. Desiray was tall, at least 5’8, with dark brown skin, confident brown eyes, and dimples on her right cheek. She was a mellow radical with a passion for social justice, good music, and marijuana. It was clear to both of us that we had something. So at the end of the night, we exchanged numbers and made plans to see each other again.
