Things have been moving positively since that night they met in VA Beach, Ramon enjoyed her company so much after he came to her house for the first date, that he returned the next two night for subsequent dates. She was enthralled by him. His 6ft, 1inch body, the small twists on his head trying to turn into locs, his athletic shaped body, but most of all his mind. Girl Lisa never got with the traditional college students at her school, she found them boring and not real, she chose instead to find real guys, who have seen the world and lived life, those a bit older and a bit wilder than the"we study for 10 hours a day, and our parents gave us everything we ever needed" boys on campus. What she wanted was a man. And what she got, she thought, was a man, someone on his own, not having to answer to anyone, teaching her what it was like to be a young adult on your own. (Girl Lisa, always liked military men best, because they traveled, had money, and often only got to stay around for a pre-determined time.)
Girl Lisa and Ramon dated all the way through the summer of that year. They enjoyed going to movies together and going out to dinner. After exiting the theater one night, to see Transformers together, Ramon's phone rang. He answered and began talking to the person on the phone about the movie.
"Hey ma, guess what movie we just went to see? Transformers, it was taped down the street from where we lived, I actually recognized some of the sites. Who we? Mom, me and Girl Lisa. Yea, Girl Lisa, my girlfriend. Come on, ma, I told you that. Anyways, I gotta go. Yea, I call you back later. Bye"
Girl Lisa, looked at Ramon with a slightly open mouth, he had never called her his girlfriend before and he had no idea that he spoke at her before. He hardly told his mother anything, so this was big. And it felt oddly good, very reassuring, as he grabbed her hand to intertwine with his, she thought, maybe this just might be something good.
Something love-ly.
