Everyday, as his BMW pulls up, he searches for her.
"Thanks Rem" He thanks his driver and flicks some quarters at him. He comes to work early, not just because his fathers up his arse about tardiness, but because every morning, he sees the same black girl.
In regular fit jeans with an array of colourful strap vests. She'll wear them even in the rain. Covering her hair with that days newspaper. And today he's decided to surprise said mystery pretty girl with an umbrella.
"Good luck sir" Remmick mutters.
"Fuck off back home will you?" Aerion snaps. He grabs the umbrella and marches into the road.
Almost getting knocked over by a Ford focus.
Remmick sniggers as he drives off.
A few moments later, he sees the woman. A newspaper above her head and a sunflower vest, that made her black skin appear more exalted in contrast.
Aerion grimaces as his mouth starts to water.
Women having this much power over him, was rare, and extremely concerning.
He runs over without thinking.
"Hi there! Madam! You need a umbrella?" Aerion, sticks the plain black gadget in her face.
"Uh, thanks, but I'm right outside my job" Her head tilts to a unremarkable building. "See ya!" She walks away.
Aerion sighs as the deflated feeling swells in his stomach.
He just needs a strong fucking coffee and a croissant. But before he can take another step. Newspaper girl is back again. Her dark eyes sparkling alongside her smile. "Hey err....."
"Aerion" He responds quickly.
"The....Umbrella. It was a super nice gesture" She nods, her eyes flitting up and down. "Do you wanna go out on a cheap date sometime?"
Aerion scoffs. He's no stranger to women asking him out. They can't help themselves.
"Cheap?" He said. "I've never done a cheap anything in my life! Let me take you to......
The woman motions to the coffee shop across the street.
Aerion notes the working class atmosphere of the shop."Carlos' Coffie" [ Is that a misspelling?] High schoolers are walking out with milkshakes. There's graffiti on the door and he's pretty sure that every taxi driver walking in is showing ass-crack.
This place is hardly first date material.....
So, wanna meet at Carlos' tomorrow?" The pretty stranger suggests.
"Absolutely!" Aerion agrees. He can "rough it" for a afternoon. She's definately worth it.
