His phone chimed again, reminding him of the text he never responded to. Chris read the other texts that had come in.
Tuck
Don’t do it, man. I’ve heard horror stories.
Lamont
Same.
Tuck
If you want to meet a girl the old-fashioned way, go to the grocery store.
Lamont
What? The store?
Tuck
You can tell a lot about a woman by the way she shops.
Lamont
Don’t listen to him, Chris. Find a woman at church.
Tuck
??
Tuck
Yeah, because dropping a church pickup line will win major points.
Lamont
You might have a point. Plus, did they even have church pickup lines when Chris was young?
Okay, time for him to interject before his friends became even more ridiculous.
Chris
I won’t do an app, but I will definitely consider the old-fashioned way.
Once more his thoughts strayed toward Dr. Kennedy. An image of how her beautiful brown skin glowed came to mind. Her braids had been shoulder length and somehow looked different from regular braids, but how, he couldn’t put into words. All he knew was the full cheeks that had curved into a prominent chin made his heart soften a little. He wouldn’t mind getting to know her. Too bad she had left the restaurant before he could attempt to exchange numbers.
That was a foolish move.And an obvious reminder of how long he’d been out of the dating game.
Lamont
Good luck to you.
Tuck
I can always do some digging and try to find out that info on my surgeon.
Chris
Don’t bother. God’ll figure it all out.
