As I lay in my bed trying to drift off my phone lights up so I lean over to pick it up. I look at the screen and it says I have a message from an unknown number. I open the message and it says, "Hey, we need to talk."
I reply, "Hi? Do I know you though?"
A few minutes later my phone goes off so I open the message and it says, "My name is Deavon. You only me because of my ex Alex, but I know everything between the three of us wasn't really good and I'd like to fix things between us if that's okay with you."
I reply, "Well that's fine Deavon but I don't want Alex to start a load of stuff because of us talking."
I open Deavon's message and it says, "She won't. I'll make sure of that one and if she does I'll really take care of it. Hey, are you doing anything right now?"
I answer, "No why?"
Deavon answers, "Wanna meet at the park in your town?"
I answer, "Um, sure, I don't think mom will mind."
Deavon replies, "Good, I'll wait to leave until you answer for sure." Ten minutes later I text Deavon, and say, "Meet me at the park, I'll be wearing jeans and orange tank top."
Deavon answers, "Awesome, I'll be in baggy jeans and a Batman t-shirt. I'll be there in about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. I'm gonna stop at the gas station first to get gas and a drink, want anything to drink?"
I answer, "No that's fine. Thanks for offering though." Then I go over slide on some jeans that my butt look good (well at least I think they do) and a nice orange tank top and slip on my sandals then top it off with a spray or two of perfume then I go and head out. As I walk to the park, I think to myself, "Why would Deavon want to see me?" "Isn't Deavon afraid that Alex will be pissed about us seeing each other?". Finally I reach the park and sit down on a bench near the parking lot and I only sit there five minutes when an older but still decent baby blue Honda pulls up with the music blaring, I listen carefully and realize that it's Metallica blaring from the speakers and smile and think to myself, "Damn this girl has a great taste in music". She looks over and sees me then waves and shuts the car off, then opens her door and gets out. When she steps out of her car, I realizes she's way sexier and finer than in the pictures I'd seen on Alex's phone. She walks over and asks, "Why don't we go find a picnic table or some where better to sit so we can talk easier?" I nodded my head and get up and start to walk to a picnic table under a big shade tree and I sit down on one side and Deavon sits on top of the table and then sets her phone, keys, two Gatorades, and bag of sunflower seeds down. I look at questioningly and ask, "Why do you have two big bottles of Gatorade?"
She says, "Well I thought I'd bring two just in case you got thirsty, I got the same flavor because in my opinion Glacier Freeze is the shit, and the best kind of Gatorade."
I smile then reply, "Glacier Freeze is the shit. Now that it's sitting in front of me I might have to drink it and steal your sunflower seeds because those too are amazing." She pushes the bag between us and smiles as to offer them and say it's okay if I eat some of them. I grab a handful and as I do I ask, "So Deavon, why did you want to see me? Especially in a place that Alex could easily show up at."
Deavon thinks and answers, "Well, I thought us hanging out would be a great start and honestly, I don't give a shit if she shows up because I'm tired of being controlled my her, which is why I left to begin with plus she cheated on me, 6 times and I didn't know until the last time. I was going to try to fix our relationship but when I found she was cheating and had cheated, I was completely done."
At first I'm completely shocked then I say, "Well honestly Deavon, that's Alex for you, I would know. She did the same to me. But enough about her. Let's talk about you. Give me your age, hair color, eye color, weight, height, favorite color, favorite subject, favorite sport, and favorite type of music."
Deavon chuckles and answers, "Well damn. I'm 18 but I'm only a junior, you know that. I have natural brunette hair but love auburn on me better with blue(ish) green eyes. I weigh 165 pounds mostly muscle that is very toned, if you want proof, I'll show it. I'm 5'11. My favorite color is ice blue or purple. My favorite subjects are math and science. My favorite sport is football or baseball. Favorite type of music is rock but I'll listen to anything at least once."
I smile and say, "Alright, show me the proof then.". Deavon grins and gets off the table, lifts her shirt and reveals her 6 pack, then flexes and shows her very large biceps that compliment her nicely tanned body and her very well defined face with sharp cheek bones and a square yet round jawline. Then I noticed on her right underarm she had a tattoo which looked like a quote of some sort. I'm pretty sure I'm drooling because this girl is fucking sexy and Alex is a sucker for letting her go, plus the snake bites and sexy ass short hair and oh do I see an industrial ear piercing. Finally she snaps me out of la-la land and says, "So you like the proof?". I just nodded my head. Deavons chuckles and says, "Well let's see it's almost 9 and I've got to be back by 9:30-10. So would you like to come stay the night even though it's a school night? I'll get you to school and back, promise."
I sigh and reply, "I'd love to but my mom only let's me go over to people's houses for the night on a school night if we have a project or studying to do."
Deavon runs her fingers through her hair and says, "Well we do have a test in Algebra 2 tomorrow, and I could use some "help" in it."
I say, "Alright, alright. Let me call my mom.". I pick up my phone and call my mother, finally after the 5th or 6th ring she answers so I ask politely, "Could I go over to Deavon's for the night? She just reminded me we have a test in Algebra 2 tomorrow that I told her I'd help her study for and we don't have time other tonight before class to study."
My mom answers, "Yes that's fine but will Deavon bring you by so you can get your stuff and I can meet her really quick?"
I say, "Well of course mom, we'll be there in like five minutes." I hang up the phone and think to myself, "This is going to be a wonderful night of "studying"..I wonder what Deavon has up her sleeve, not that I'll mind it." Then Deavon again, snaps me out of the fantasy world and says, "Alright, are you ready to haul out of here and go get your things?"
I say, "Yes, let's go hun." Deavon smiles and we head to the car then once we get in and start to drive to my house I speak up and say, "Hey, try to keep it on the down low about you being homosexual, because if my mom picks up on that, she'll never let me spend the night with you. How can we cover for your appearance though?"
Deavon replies, "Simple, I have one sister and two girl cousins plus four boy cousins so I grew up with mainly boys and did boy things and I find male clothing comfortable and I wanted to try a new hairstyle and loved it because it fits my face shape better than my old hairstyle." I smile and nod then we're quiet the rest of the way there. We get to my house and get out and go to the house to find my mom in the kitchen. I get to introducing them easily, "Mom this Deavon, Deavon this is my mom, Jackie."
My mom pulls Deavon into a hug then pulls away and says, "Oh it's so wonderful to meet you, but I have to ask why you're dressed this way and why your hair is so short for a girl, you're not homo are you?"
