Two Reasons I Cry
Chapter 3
It's been about 4 days since Omari got Me'shelle's number, but he still hasn't called her yet. At first she was kinda upset, but who wouldn't be? However, she has much too much on her mind to be worrying about some man calling her. She is at home cleaning up, when her sister Ashley walks in with Dom. Ashley likes to take Dom places so that she can use him to get attention from guys. And surprisingly it works. They come in with a lot of bags and boxes from the mall.
"Hi, mommy!" Dom said as he opened the door and didn't hold it for Ashley leaving her with a bunch of bags to struggle with, he ran and hugged his mom
"Hey, honey, did you have fun with Auntie Ashley today?" MeMe asked him as she picked him up in her arms
"A little help, here, sis." Ashley said as MeMe ran over and helped her with the bags. Ashley swept her shoulder length wavy black hair out of her face, and began to complain, "Your son dragged me all over the mall, tried on just about every pair of shoes there is, sampled something from every restaurant in the food court, and listened to every CD in Sam Goody. Oh, and did I mention that he got away from me, and after I searched the mall up and down, I found him. In the pet store, talking to some man about how you wouldn't let him have a dog. The only good thing that came out of this day was that the man was really cute and we exchanged numbers, see?" Ashley said all in one breath as she pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket.
"A business card?" MeMe said as she read it, " 'De'Mario Thornton, playa extrodinaire, I'm mo realer than a two dollar bill?' Girl, this is whack," she said as she tossed the card back at Ashley
"The card may be whack, he is anything but whack, he is fine. And he had these big luscious lips, and a chiseled body, and the most adorable smile. And we're going out tomorrow night," Ashley said bragging to her sister
"That's nice, thank you for taking my son out, I will see you later, sis," MeMe said as she walked Dom upstairs to his room
"Wait, I want you to come too," Ashley said making her sister stop dead in her tracks
"What?" MeMe said as she stopped and turned around, leaving Dom to continue upstairs alone
"I want you to come with me, I don't wanna go by myself," Ashley said sitting down on the couch
"You know what they say two's company, three's a crowd," MeMe said as she sat in the recliner next to her
"Well what do they say about four, because Mario was telling me how he has a single, and lonely friend, you two would be perfect," Ashley said beaming, and hoping Me'shelle would go for it
"Thank you for the generous offer, but no thanks," MeMe said as she got up from the chair, "You are not doing this to me again, the last time you set me up with somebody he was a brokedown scary-curl wearing, gold teeth having, polyester and platform wearing, pinky-ring wearing, wanna-be pimp. No, thank you. Besides, I don't have a sitter for Dom," Me'shelle said glad that she had thought of a valid excuse.
"Don't even try it, you know that mom and dad, will be more than happy to watch Dom. Come on, sis, please?" she said pouting her lips and batting her eyes
"Aight, aight, I'll go," Me'shelle said giving in
"Finally, once again it's on. Thank you, MeMe," Ashley said
"You're welcome, LeeLee," Me'shelle said as they hugged
Omari sat in the lounging room of his house watching The Wood on DVD, he is not really watching the movie, but he is thinking about Me'shelle and how he should call her, but he feels insecure and shy. Just then the doorbell rings, and on the other side of the door stands O's best friend and partner in crime, De'Mario Thornton aka Mario aka Raz-B
"What up, O" Mario said as they did their lil' handshake thing and he stepped into the house
"What up, man," he said as they went back into the lounging area and sat down
"So, what you been up to?" Mario asked O as he ate some popcorn
"Nothing, just chillin, what you been doing lately, I ain't seen you around," Omari said as he fast forwarded the DVD to the next scene
"Oh, nothing really, the usual, you know pimping ain't easy but somebody gotta do it," he said as he gave O that devilish yet sexy grin
"Oh, I see. I ain't been doing a damn thing lately, I met this dyme piece the other day, got them digits, and.." Omari begin to explain as Mario cut him off
"And did you tap that?" Mario asked him, interested in the answer
"Naw, we just met, I ain't even called her yet," Omari said looking down at the ground
"And why not? Don't tell me the great and powerful O is getting scurred," Mario said as he took a piece of paper out of his wallet
"No, it ain't even like that, it's just that…" Omari said as once again Mario cut him off
"Well how is it then. You just got to stop being a chicken shit and ask her out. Like take for instance me. I was in the mall, chillin, looking at the dogs in this pet store right, when all of a sudden, this little boy starts talking my ear off about a dog, and why his momma won't let him have one. So I'm sitting there talking to this boy when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, comes this fly honey. And I'm thinking this is his momma, but she looked entirely too young. So I introduce myself, we talk for a while, and I get the digits. I call her, and um, we going out tomorrow night, you should roll wit us, dawg." Mario explained to Omari while still looking at the paper
"Wait, little boy in the pet store?" He said remembering when he met Dom, "Naw, it couldn't be, and I'm not going nowhere with you and this girl." Omari said to Mario flat out
"Well, at least grow some balls and call this woman you met," Mario said to Omari handing him the phone
"Fine, I'll call her, anything to make you shut up," Omari said snatching the phone and dialing the number, Me'shelle picks up
"Hello?" she answered
"Me'shelle? This is Omari," he said hoping she would want to talk to him
"Omari!" she said getting excited then calming herself down, "Oh, it's about time you called, what happened your phone got disconnected?" she said getting defensive
"Oh, you got jokes? Naw, I just been busy, but anyway. Look, I was wondering if you weren't busy you would like to get together tomorrow night?" he said clamming up again
"Tomorrow? I can't, I promised my sister I would go out with her, this guy she met, and one of his lame friends. I'm sorry," Me'shelle said, mad that she told Ashley she would go with her
"Oh." Omari said disappointed, "Well, I guess I'll take a raincheck, then," he said
"Yea, a raincheck," Me'shelle said
"I'll talk to you later," Omari said
"Ok, not too late," Me'shelle said as she hung up the phone
"See? She's busy," Omari said to Mario
"That's too bad, man," he said feeling sorry for him but snapping out of it, "You'll meet some fine dymes at the club tomorrow to take your mind off of it,"
"Naw, man I don't think I wanna go," Omari said as Mario got up to leave
"Aight man, suit yourself, but there's gonna be so many ladies there," he said trying to coax Omari as Omari thought about it,
"Maybe I'll roll through," Omari said as he and Mario laughed and gave each other dap as Mario walked outside to his Denali and drove off.
