Getting Ready
May and Coulson meet back at the auditorium.
“So…what do you want to do?” Coulson asked.
“Um…do you want to go to the gym?”May suggested. Coulson was puzzled.
“The gym? What are we going to do…lift weights?” Coulson joked.
“No, we will wrestle.” May says brightly. Coulson is dumbstruck he didn’t know why she wanted to do that he didn’t want to hurt her. He wanted to know why she has those cuts and bruises, so he asked.
“Hey, umm…May how…umm…did you get those cuts and bruises?” Coulson asked gently.
Its ok if you don’t want to tell me what happened.” Coulson said softly.
“Oh I kind saved my mothers ass a few days before graduation…Nothing a little make-up can’t fix!” May said dismissively.
“How many guys? How big were they?” Coulson asked amused.
May said “There were three men and the biggest guy was almost eleven times bigger than me.”
“Wow…Now I don’t have to worry about hurting you.” Coulson said with amazement.
“Yup.”
“Hey, how about we got to the store instead?” Coulson asked. May was puzzled but he had this sparkle in his eyes that he didn’t have time to think her mouth was saying
“Sure, sounds good.”
He said “Great, lets go.” So they were going to the store in the town that was near by. She couldn’t keep her eyes off of him neither could he they both just stared at each other here and there. They smiled at each other they had great time. They saw a young Chinese woman with a baby and May just had to hold her, so she walked up to the woman and spoke to her in mandarin, something about the way she talked in the language was so beautiful. She beckoned for him to come over. He did. She handed him the baby and she came closer to him than she had before. The way she was looking at the baby made him wonder if she wanted kids. She was so good with them. They thanked the woman. They continued and Phil stopped suddenly he needed too ask her something.
“Umm…Melinda?” He said softly
“Hmm?” She answered.
“I need to ask you something.”
“What Phil?”
“Do you like kids?”
“Yea…why?”
“I just wondered”
“Phil…why?”
“It is just the way you were with the baby it seems that you want one of you own…sorry…that was inappropriate.” He apologized
“Phil…don’t I do want one of my own to teach love…don’t be sorry...please…I have had too much loss in my life I need some stability…please.”
“Ok.” They walked in silence the rest of the way. They were finally there. Coulson told May was going to the bathroom she said ok and he when the way to the bathroom and he looked behind him and he couldn’t see my anymore. So he when the other way to the jewelry and look for a few minutes and something cached his eye it was a necklace that said ‘Melinda’
It was beautiful, just like the woman that he was buying it for. He headed to the bathroom and then headed for May. He got to her. He came up behind her, put his arms around her and she jumped. She looked behind her, just smiled and hugged his arms. He was surprised that she did that. They looked around for a while. They found some cute stuff. They found some baby clothes May was obsessed with buying something for the little baby girl she bought a little dress that was black, blue and, pink. It was almost 6:30pm they have been there for almost an hour they needed to get back to get ready for dinner.
“We should go back.” Coulson said.
“Sure” May said.
“When we get back we should get ready…Ok” Coulson asked.
“Ok” May said. So they started to walk back they saw little kids playing with each other May was smiling at them. Coulson loved her smile it made him feel, he couldn’t explain how it made him feel. They saw the baby girl and her mother May and Coulson when up to her and she was puzzled. She looked from Coulson to May then to Mays belly then back at May. May told that it was for her baby and she was so pleased. She was talking to May for a little while. Then she said something that made Mays eyes sparkle even more and she blushed a little. He looked at May and asked
“What did she say?” May looked at him and smiled
“She said that she thought that I was having a baby and you were the father.” He smiled. He wished that was the case. They kept walking and May started to talk.
“She was also lecturing me about dating a white guy. She said she knows that it is none of her businesses she was just saying in geranial, because of what white men do to Asian women; she told me that they beat her mother and sister. In witch I told her that you were a very good guy and you would never hurt me and you respect me also that we are not dating yet.” She said. Je thought about that ‘yet’ did she think that they had a chance? They made it back to the school at 6:55. They when in different directions. May went to her dorm room and looked in her dresses and for she almost never worn dresses so she had very few but that one that she found was pretty. It was blood red and it was a little bit too short. She also did her hair; it was in curlers while she put on her make-up. She did her make-up; she put mascara, black eyeliner and, some dark red lipstick. Then she took the hair curlers out and she was done it was 7:25. She looked in the mirror she thought that she looked ok. She was unusually nervous she was never this nervous. She started to walk to the spot were they were meeting she took one last look at herself. Then she left her room. Mean while Coulson was getting ready. He looked in his nice clothes. He found a black button up shirt, some black pants and, a blood red tie. He combed his hair. Then he was done he looked at his watch and it was 7:25. He looked in the mirror he thought that her looked good. It was tine to go get May.
