color of milk chocolate which complimented his beautiful sparkling brown eyes. I had to admit that the man was fine as hell. He must have had some money because he wore a flawless diamond earring and a diamond Rolex watch. He flashed me a big, confident smile.
    “Are you okay? You almost had a really big fall, sweetheart.”
    I attempted to hide my embarrassment with a forced smile “Wow, I am so sorry about that. I should have been paying more attention to where I was going.”
    I bent down to pick up my phone, and I silently thanked God it had survived. As I stood up, I noticed him eyeing my frame kind of hard. He was being really bold about it, too because he didn’t hide the fact he was looking either. This didn’t faze me one bit, because I loved a confident man.
    I broke his stare and smiled as I said “Well, like I said, I’m sorry about that, but thank you for saving me from a potentially super embarrassing fall. But I really have to go before I die of embarrassment.”
                  As I began to walk away he gently grabbed my hand to make me stop, and he got me to face him again. “Damn,” he said, “so I save you, and you’re just gonna run away from me? At least give me a name to match such a beautiful face.” I smiled slightly as I said, “I guess that was pretty rude of me. My name is Jasmine.”
    He flashed me a bright smile. “It’s very nice to meet you, Jasmine. My name is Quincy, but everyone calls me Q.” I said “Well it was really nice to meet you, Quincy, but I really do need to get going.”
    “Why do you seem like you’re in such a big rush? I was hoping to at least get your number so maybe I can take you out for dinner or something. I mean from what I’ve seen so far I’m really interested in getting to know you a whole lot better.”
    I thought about it for a minute. Was I ever really going to be ready to give another man a chance? Or at least give myself the chance of meeting a nice guy I could just kick it with? I mean no one said I had to get serious with him.
    Finally I gave in, “Okay, I guess we can exchange numbers.” He handed me his iPhone, and I put all my info into it for him. As I gave him back his phone, I said “Well again it was nice meeting you, but I really do need to get going. Thank you for the save too!”
    “Wait!” he called out. “Don’t you want my number?” I smiled as I said “Well if you’re as interested in me as you say you are then you will call. I will get your number eventually right?”
    My mother taught me to never be the chaser, but always keep them chasing. Plus I could tell he was used to women always chasing him. But I definitely wanted him to know I am far from being pressed for his time and attention. As I walked away I made sure to put an extra switch in my hips, because I knew he would be watching. When I glanced back, I saw that he definitely was still watching me. I waved goodbye as I exited the airport. As I walked to find a cab I smiled to myself trying to figure out where my new found confidence was coming from. Normally I am never flirtatious with a man, but he was just too damn sexy for me to resist.
                  I had a cute little apartment in Queens with a gorgeous view. As I looked around my apartment it didn’t really feel like me just yet. I still had a whole lot of organizing and decorating to do. And I suddenly started to feel homesick. As I unpacked some of my pictures I came across a picture of me and Trey. In the picture he was holding onto me from behind, and resting his head on my shoulder. It was on my 17th birthday when we took that picture. We were so happy and in love, and when I looked into his eyes I could see all the love he had for me in them. I thought I threw away every memory of Trey, but I guess this picture somehow escaped my rage. I put the picture back into the box, and turned it over. I picked up my phone and scanned my phone book looking for Trey’s number. I
