Two Reasons I Cry
Chapter 5
Ever since Omari and Me’shelle danced at the club two days ago, they haven’t been able to stop thinking about one another. Me’shelle even went out and bought the Avant CD and played that song they danced to over and over again. She is at her parent’s house, they have just finished eating dinner, and now she, Ashley and their mom, Janet, are in the kitchen doing the dishes.
“Girls, finish drying those dishes and then put them in the cabinet, ok?” Janet said as she dried her hands and walked out of the kitchen
“So, what have you been up to since we last talked?” Me’shelle asked Ashley
“Nothing, really. Just hanging around. I went out with Mario again. Capri called. (Ashley and Me’shelle’s cousin) Nothing big.” Ashley said as she put some glasses into the kitchen
“Oh, that’s good. What did Capri want?” Me’shelle asked her as she wiped down the dinner table
“She’s back in town and she wants me to go apartment shopping with her.” Ashley told her
“How long this time?” Me’shelle asked, wondering
“I don’t know, and I don’t care, but I’m thinking about moving in with her, it’s either her or Mario. I’m tired of going back and forth, here and Natalie’s house.” (Natalie is Dreux’s mom) Ashley said, then she stopped and thought for a minute, “I’m thinking about introducing Capri to Dreux.” She said as she washed some more dishes
“Why?” Me’shelle said as she dried the dishes Ashley washed
“Why not? I mean him and Mariah broke up, he’s free, she’s free. It’s perfect.” She said draining the water
“I guess. Well, let me know how everything turns out. I’m out of here. Dom, come on, it’s time to go,” she said as she grabbed Dom and her things and went out to the car.
“I’ll call you,” Ashley yelled outside to her as she got in the car and drove off. They drove back home as she changed Dom’s clothes and he got ready to go out with Jason. Me’shelle is making Dom’s bed when the phone rings, she runs into the other room and answers it
“Hello?” she answered as she walked back into Dom’s room and continued to fix the bed
“Is this Me’shelle?” Omari asked her as he sat down in his living room, flicking through the channels
“Yes, this is she. Hi, Omari,” she said as she recognized his throaty voice
“Hey, girl, what are you doing?” he asked her trying to make conversation
“Oh, just making Dom’s bed, he’s out with Jason surprisingly,” Me’shelle said while changing the sheets, “Oh, and call me Meme,” she said to him
“Oh, ok Meme, you can call me O. So Dom’s gonna be gone all day?” Omari asked her beating around the bush
“No, he’ll be back around 3 and then he’s spending the night at one of his friend’s house,” Meme said while throwing the dirty sheets in the hamper
“Oh, well if you’re not busy tonight I was wondering if dinner would be aight with you,” Omari said acting like a nervous high school boy
“Well that depends, am I cooking or are you buying?” Christen asked him while she finished making his bed
“Well that depends, can you cook, or are you expecting me to have money?” Omari asked her while he fixed a sandwich in his kitchen
“Don’t answer my question with a question, I will cook for you. Dom will be at Jason’s until Monday night, so we will have the house all to ourselves,” she said playing with her hair, as she sat down on Dom’s bed
“Aight, Sunday it is.” Omari said getting happy that she said yes
“Ok, look I’ll call you back with all the details. I have some errands to run, I’ll talk to you soon?” Christen asked while going downstairs and getting her purse
“Real soon, hopefully,” Omari said finishing his sandwich, “Bye, MeMe,”
“See ya, O” Meshelle said as she hung up the phone and walked out the door
Me’shelle ran to the grocery store and picked up some things for dinner. She then ran to the cleaners and picked up her DKNY dress. It was a sheer dress with a swoop neck and slits up the side. She cooked all afternoon. She had candles lit, and that Avant CD playing. She set up the dinner table with candles and even brought out the good china, and the good cider. She changed into her dress, and crimped her long hair. She sprayed some perfume and put the finishing touches on dinner. Omari pulled up to the house and stepped out of his Mountaineer. He put on a not-too-casual Sean John outfit, with some black timbs. He bought Me’shelle a dozen red roses and one white rose and walked up to the door, he was a little hesitant, but finally rang the doorbell. His breath was taken away when he saw Me’shelle in her dress. Likewise with Me’shelle.
“You got it smelling good in here, girl,” he said as he hugged her, “Oh, these are for you,” he said handing her the roses.
“Thank you, they’re beautiful,” she walked over to a vase already filled with water and put them in, “Well, let’s eat, dinner’s ready,” she said as she led him to the dining room “I was feeling italian today, so we’re having lasagna, lobster spaghetti, and chicken fettuccini Alfredo, with parmesan sauce,” she said as she sat down and took the tops off of those silver platter things. They ate and talked and laughed and ate some more. Just when Omari thought the night couldn’t get any better,
“I hope you saved some room for dessert, because I made a double layer chocolate cake,” she said as she handed him a slice,
“You know they say chocolate is an aphrodisiac,” he said as he enhaled that mug, and then slouched down in his chair like he couldn’t move
“Oh really, well maybe we can test it out later on,” she said as she gave him a grin, she loved to tease guys, “So what you wanna do, now? I wanna watch the game, Sixers vs. Lakers,” she said as she kicked off her shoes and ran to the living room
“You watch basketball?” he said as he sat down on the recliner
“Watch? Boy, I breathe basketball. Especially Sixers basketball,” she said as she turned on the TV
“Girl, please, Sixers ain’t got nothing on the Lakers,” he said confidently
“Oh, yea? Let’s bet, if the Lakers win, I’ll buy you some new rims for your car (lying through her teeth), and if the Sixers win…” she began to say
“If the sixers win, I’ll cook you breakfast tomorrow morning,” he said to her looking her in her eyes, praying that the sixers would win
“What makes you think you’re gonna be here tomorrow morning?” MeMe said to Omari while she played with her nails
“Oh, you tryna play hard to get? If I’m not here tomorrow morning, I will pick you up and we’ll go out for breakfast.” O said confidently
“Aight, it’s a bet,” she said as they shook hands and watched the game. The sixers won, undoubtedly, and, Me’shelle jumped up and did her lil’ happy dance, and waltzed around the room. “Okay, O, you better warm up the skillet, buddy, because you owe me breakfast,” she said getting up in his face
“Ok, you won, and I play fair,” O said while watching her do her lil’ dance, “I’ll be right back,” O said as he got up and went to the bathroom, Me’shelle sat down on the couch, and channel surfed, about 5 minutes passed. She got up and went to the downstairs bathroom; he wasn’t in there.
“I know this boy did not use my good bathroom,” she said as she walked up the steps, she knocked on the door, “O, you aight, you been in there for like 10 minutes, you taking a dump?” she said as she leaned her ear on the door, and then fell in, he wasn’t in there either. She walked into her bedroom to check around in there, when all of a sudden she felt someone creep up behind her and spin her around, he then plunged her onto the bed, and ended up on top of her. He looked deep into her eyes, and then he leaned down and kissed her, passionately, for what seemed like an eternity, when all of sudden, the phone rang.
“Hello?” MeMe answered, annoyed
“Who is this?” A female voice asked
“I’m asking the questions now, who is this?” MeMe asked sitting up getting pissed off
“This is Leah, is Jason there?” the woman asked
“Jason doesn’t live here, and call my house again, and you won’t be living at all,” MeMe said In a harsh tone
“Are you threatening me?” Leah said to her
“No, I’m promising you,” MeMe said as she slammed the phone down on the reciever, and held her head in her hands
“You aight?” O asked her sitting close to her
“I’ll be fine. It’s just Jason knows what little things get under my skin, and he spends every waking moment making me miserable.” MeMe said as she looked O in his eyes “But enough about Jason, I’m hungry,” MeMe said as she got off the bed and walked down the steps to the kitchen where she got some chips, soda, candy bars, and ice cream. Then she and O spent all night just talking. She told him about her life, and he did the same. They talked about there likes, dislikes, goals, dreams…everything. All night long.
