shopping.”
“Hold up I’m not done with you yet,”
said Cassandra stepping in front of Sabrina. “So what is he like?”
“Can we finish?”
“If you promise to take me shopping with
you and tell me all about your new guy, then yeah.”
“Fine, fine.”
“Yes!” squealed Cassandra as she jumped
up and down in excitement. “This is going to be fun.”
Once they finished their cool down
exercises they went their separate ways to their houses to shower and change.
Once out of the shower Sabrina threw on a shirt and a crisp pair of jeans and
headed out of the house.
She and Cassandra met up some twenty
minutes later at the nearby mall and window shopped for a few minutes before
taking a moment to grab a bite to eat. Sabrina figure that would distract
Cassandra from asking her questions but of course, it didn’t happen like she
wanted it to.
“So, tell me about this guy you met last
night. Was he the guy I asked if he had a twin?”
“I thought you said you didn’t remember
anything from last night?”
“I didn’t until it just came back to me,
well some of it. I just know I had a hell of a good time. Some fool was blowing
up my cell phone all day today. Hold on.” She pulled out her cell phone and
went to talk away from the table.
Even though Cassandra was a good, loyal
friend, Sabrina hesitated to tell her about her encounter with Brett just for
the simple fact that she wasn’t sure how she would react to her dating Brett.
Sabrina was never the type of person to judge a book by its cover because that
was the way her mother and stepfather Sean raised her to live, and for the most
part, it helped. But not everybody in today’s world was ready to see a black
girl dating outside of the norm. She didn’t that much life experience to know
what the backlash would be like. Plenty of her friends always deterred away
from upsetting their families, especially the ones that came from conservative
families. In her high school days there was plenty of interracial dating and
had her mother not forbade her to date, there’s no telling how things would
have changed for her.
At this point in Sabrina’s life, she
didn’t give a damn about what anybody else’s opinion on who she dated, rather
it be a black guy with a criminal background or a white guy with a degree from
Harvard; when it came down to it, Sabrina felt none of that mattered except
what a person had in their heart, not where they came from or what color their
skin was.
She thought back her sophomore year in
college and a sorority sister happened to be dating a black guy studying to be
a doctor. All would have been fine with everybody if she weren’t a blond girl
from a small neighborhood who liked dating out of her race. Everybody called
her a gold digger just because of the way she looked and it got so bad to the
point where she and the guy she was dating decided to switch schools to get
away from the scrutiny and everybody’s criticism.
Truth be told, Sabrina considered
herself a strong women, but she didn’t think she was strong enough to endure
the emotional roller coaster that her mother would send her on if she learned
Sabrina was even interested in dating outside of her race. She would never hear
the end of it.
She brought herself from her thoughts
where Cassandra was saying something. She hadn’t even noticed her friend had come
back.
“Earth to Sabrina!” she said, waving
her hands in front of Sabrina’s face. “Snap out of it.”
“My bad,” Sabrina said coolly. “I was
thinking about some stuff.”
“Stuff like what?”
“Nothing really.”
“Sure. So are you going to tell me about
this new guy like you promised me?”
“Yeah, yeah. He’s nice. I first met him
at the grocery store when I was buying some stuff and the funniest thing
happened which was rare. I forgot my purse in the car and he loaned me some
money to pay for my groceries and next thing you know I accidentally bumped my
cart into his car and
“Hold up I’m not done with you yet,”
said Cassandra stepping in front of Sabrina. “So what is he like?”
“Can we finish?”
