Ekon was a simple guy. Besides the loud crazy clothes, he was very chill. He loved his electronics and his basketball. We hung out on the regular and really got to know each other more. One night, after one of the study groups, Ekon came into my room.
He asked, "Can I talk to you for a second?"
I said sure and cut the television down.
Ekon said, "So, (clears his throat) I know we've been hanging out quite a bit."
Oh, Lord...where is this going? All kinds of thoughts started rushing through my mind.
He continues, "I think you are a really cool chic that I'd like to get to learn more about."
My heart is beating a mile a minute...you know, to the point where you can feel it in your feet.
"I wanted to know if you'd like to go out with me?"
And there it was.....the question that changes relationships. I'm 19....I've been sheltered my entire life. Going from church to private school to public school, and now college. I don't know the first thing about being in a relationship. So I did what I do best.
"Ekon, are you serious? I mean, no offense but I see you more like a twin brother than I do a boyfriend." Yep, I did it again. Apparently, I didn't learn my lesson with Rick and God felt the need for me to repeat that lesson with Ekon and I still didn't get the hint. Let me back track (which I'll do a lot so get used to it). I am physically attracted to light skinned guys, you know, the yellow bones. I'm chocolate and for some reason I had this idea that I didn't want chocolate kids and if I got with a chocolate guy my kids would be like blackulas. Yes I just made that word up (I'll do that a lot as well). Both Rick and Ekon are brown skinned (which there is nothing wrong with). Anyways, Ekon lowered his head and walked out of my room. I turned the volume back up and continued to watch tv. Not even realizing I just let another good guy go......
