Amita was going into her Senior year at Columbia and was scheduled to do a Summer internship at your job. You know how it is being new to a job and not knowing anyone so you tried to befriend her to make her feel more comfortable.
You talked about family, school, personal interests and how she found Harlem fascinating and filled with such rich history and culture and even though she didn't live to far from the area she was reluctant to explore certain places because she wasn't sure if the people would be welcoming.
You told her that you would be more than willing to accompany her to places like "Sylvia's," and the "Red Rooster," which she looked forward to dining at both places (especially the Red Rooster when she found out that Marcus Samuelsson, the owner was originally from Ethiopia).
So, one Saturday evening you and Amita went to "Red Rooster," and she seemed nervous at first probably because she felt people might stare at her because of her attire. You told her not to worry and after about 5-10 minutes she noticed that people were very accepting of her and made her feel at home.
Overall, the evening went well and you made sure that Amita got home safely and you assumed that you would call it a night. However, Amita felt the need to repay your kindness by inviting you into her apartment.
You sat and talked for a good while and watched television and you in spite of Amita having a roommate you noticed that you were alone for most of the time. Around 12:17 AM, Amita got a phone call and her roommate told her that she would probably see her on Monday since she was spending the night at her boyfriend's place.
Amita kind of looked at you and smiled and said that her roommate will be out tonight and that she will be alone tonight.
"Unless of course you want to keep me company?"
