Is Craig Sweet On Me?

Hi, Everybody!

I’m still trying to figure what happened yesterday evening.

So, check this out, y’all: I may have mentioned a guy named Craig; he’s in my Foundations of Education, and he makes it his business to walk me to my dorm after class ends. Well, yesterday evening was no different—after class ended (and by the way, I’ll find out the results of my paper come this Monday), Craig walked me back to my dorm like usual, and we were actually talking about our respective familial ties to Rust College. And then all of a sudden, Craig catches my hand and kisses me on the cheek!

Now, I want to state for the record that I am not complaining one iota—as a matter of fact, I am very impressed that Craig showed initiative, but yet and still, I’m kinda shocked behind the whole thing; I mean, it just happened so fast. Well, I did ask Craig to explain his reasons for his actions, and he says to me: “Natasha, I’ve been watching you, and I can tell that you are different from these other chicks. You’re a different lady—you’re the kinda lady who carries herself as a woman should, and such a woman should be treated like she carries herself. And the other reason is that… well, I think you’re gorgeous.”

So, there I am, in the lobby of Emma Elzy Hall, just blushin’ like crazy, and I know I’ve got this big ass smile on my face because I can feel the muscles in my cheeks tightening up. Here’s the funny thing: I knew to thank him for the compliment, but the words just couldn’t come out. And I’ll be dipped—Craig looks at me and says: “You’re welcome.”

Am I to believe that Craig read my mind?

Well, the fact remains that Craig was bold enough to tell me that he likes me, but now I’m all confused—like that’s some big surprise! For one thing, I’m not used to receiving all of this attention from the fellas. Tell me: What is a sista to do?

One thing’s for certain: I am so totally lovin’ the attention that I’m gettin’!

Smooches,

Natasha
