chocolate covered love

hey guys...
guess who i ran into?
my favorite!

i was walking around the hood...work neighbor hood at lunch. i bought cigarettes and grabbed a coffee. i was walking to walgreens to pick up some supplies so i lit a cigarette for the journey.

as i had just brought the cigarette to my mouth, i noticed down the street my favorite; just about a block and a half away.

remember or please note, i am near sighted and a block away is blurry. so i was able to recognize my fuzzy lil favorite from the way he carried his book bag, his button up blue shirt, and his hilariously child like gait.

i knew i could not be caught sucking a cigarette and blowing smoke. as soon as i saw him i took in the last inhale and kept my arms to my sides like a normal strolling person.

the distance between us was closing quickly. flicking or throwing the thing would be at the very least, suspicious.

looking down i knew i had to think fast.

ditch it.

i dropped the cigarette right there. luckily there was a lady coming out of a store to added to the evasiveness of my actions.

we came to a greeting distance where he stuck out his hand and said, "*******, how are you? are the dogs in the office?"

(occasionally the boss lady will bring her black labs into the office)

i said, "only fridays."

he said, "but it is friday."

its thursday. so i responded to that with a confused look, too love struck to correct him.

he picked up on this and said, "oh, its thurdsay." jokingly disappointed he shook his head and popped up with, "get your shit together, ***."

(the first series of asterisk are my first name, the latter my last.)

i lolled.

i was thrilled at the thought that he was comfortable around me enough to a) crack jokes and b) make those jokes full of profanities.

hehehehe

so the subject/title of the blog may not have made sense given the tale. i think you can see the cover part as the covering of my bad habits.

here is the rest of the title inspiration: we were both carrying a cup-o-joe, coffee for the layman. which i can only assume we consume in mass amounts because when i saw him he looked like a little kid who just ate a chocolate bar.
