"It's Friday night and I feel alright. The party's here on the west side. I gotta go to my boyfriend's and we gon' heat it up. I can't drive my car, but my homegirl's hooked me up…" I rapped taking the toon from Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It". I went and kissed my Mario aka Raz B poster. I just love Mario, man. He's everything, my ideal. I imagine going on a date with-
"Macy!" Mama called coming up the stairs. There she go again interrupting my thoughts.
"Yea ma!" I yelled from my bedroom door.
"Roshay's on her way and you got mail today. Here," She responded handing me the envelopes. She went on to her room. I looked at them and went back into my room. I was praying it was something worth opening. So, yeah, it's Friday guys and guess where I'm going? Reggie's duh. Yeah, I told Mama that I was going to Poetic Soul with Roshay, but if I told her the truth, she would decline me going to Reggie's. I couldn't drive, so I needed to depend on somebody. Roshay won't be here for another thirty minutes. I sat on my bed and opened the first letter from Beat Boppin' 103.7.
Dear Marcianna,
Got your letter mami and we'd be glad to have you apart of the crew! We'd like to help, but it's always good to help a teen out, you know?! When you get the chance though call my office during my on-air time 3pm-7pm Monday thru Friday at 413-1037. Congratulations!
Adios
Secily
"Yes!Yes!" I silently screamed. I unfolded the second letter and gasped. It was from Epic!
Dear Marcianna L. Woods,
I received your letter of request and I was skeptical. What could you do here? I work among young people like you everyday. Hard work. I've considered you putting this of for some time and I'd like you to come work for me. Call if you're interested at my office or feel free to come as you please, Saturdays from 7am to noon. Ask for Devin
Devin

I slipped both letters under my mattress. Roshay was a bit early babbling about getting back home to wait for Jermaine to call. It was funny seeing hr like this. Then kinda sad. She sped off in her Avalon when Reggie answered the door. "Home alone again" I asked teasing. He laughed rubbing his head. He answered the door with no shirt on. I mean, what this boy trying to do?
"Thirsty?" He asedk walking me into the living room where he'd been watching…
"Powerpuff girls, Reggie?"
"Naw, my sister 'em was watchin' it"
"Oh. Why you ain't go?"
"Didn't wanna" He nonchalantly replied popping next to me on the couch.
We made small tall about school. I was anxious to know about the car, the Lex. "The car? How is it?" I asked him fidgeting with my fingers. "It's in the shop. It's aiight. I ain't trippin. I was wrong for what I did, so I deserved it. Where I come off hitting your beautiful face?" He asked with a serious rubbing my cheek. "I apologize Macy. I really do. I don't be myself sometimes. You trust me?" He asked grabbing my hands. I looked at him. "Yeah, I trust you"
"No, seriously, you trust me?"
"Yes Reggie. I believe in you. I trust you. I know you're always up front and honest with me sweetie and I appreciate that. You shouldn't even have to ask"
"I just have to know. I never really got love and support from somebody other than my adoptive parents and my siblings. I love them all but loving you is a gift. I don't deserve you"
"Me! I'm the lucky one. Well, sometimes. You've gotten to know my friends, family and they love you. I know it seems like we're moving too fast because at first I thought so too, but now I know"
"Know what?"
"That I love you"
"Yeah, I love you too. I just never had so much love before. The other chicks I knew and dated, man, no comparison to you. I don't know how I could have ever doubted you, but now, I love you more than life itself. Your trust means a lot to me," He said smiling. I wrinkled my face thinking about what he just said. He just said he doubted me? What? I'll leave it alone. "Ah, Macy, I think we gon' get married one day. You ever thought about it?"
"Marriage? Not really. I'm more focused on my works. I've never been in a long relationship except you and what's his name…"
"Yeah, Rodney. He lost something real special. He has so much hate with you. Why?"
"Long story Reggie. He's just upset that I don't like him like that no more, and I moved on. You know he asked me once if I wanted to just be there to do it with him? I was like "no". I couldn't believe he asked me that. I would never cheat on you. I've never cheated on any of my boyfriends. I surely wouldn't cheat on you"
"…Yeah. I hear you. Rodney's never in his right mind anyway"
"Never, he's always chasing somebody. He needs to go move back to…where ever he came from because he is getting on my nerves but enough of him. I'm just glad I'm here with you," I sighed smiling at him. It was so comfortable in his house. It was quiet too. It just felt like nothing mattered except us. "So, um, you wanna go upstairs or something?" I asked him not looking directly at him. "Macy, are you…"
"Reggie, it's now or never and I want to go now. Don't you?"
"Yeah, but I don't wanna be rushin' and stuff. I want to-"
"Reggie, I feel perfectly fine sweetie. I just really want to…to love you. You mean so much to mean," I said grabbing his hand and kissing him. He sighed. "Macy, Macy, you just-"
I grabbed his hand. "Come on," I said. I didn't have time for talking.
There's no need to bore you with the details of what I'm sure you know happened upstairs. I mean, it was wonderful, refreshing and damn good. Haha. We laid in the bed just smiling just being happy. I felt married. I wonder how it felt to wait until you're married to give yourself to somebody. If it felt a little like this then I shoulda have waited. He didn't ask the stupid question my other partners asked. He just kissed me on my forehead and held me tighter. I wanted to doze off to sleep, but I had to get back home. Soon. I was suppose to be with Roshay. "You're pretty without make up. Why wear it?" He asked.
"Um, I don't know. I'm use to it. I like it. Why, you don't like it?"
"I never said that. I was just curious," He said rolling out of bed and going to the bathroom. I wrapped myself with the sheets laying in bed.
"…Monica, Keisha, girl, I'll let them go 'cause the don't compare to you. I don't wanna live another day withou-"
"Macy, What you sangin? You always singing," He said smiling adjusted his boxer shorts. "I love to sing what can I say? That's B2K's song "I'm Not Finished" I love that song. You got the other copy I bought for you don't know?" I asked.
"Um, yeah, it's in my cd deck I think. I haven't been listening to much music"
"What you think about it?"
"It's alright. It's different. I ain't hatin'. It's pretty good"
"Yeah, it is. What songs you like?" I asked as he sat back down on the bed.
"Macy, do you have to turn this into a trivia?" He asked leaning back on me. I started laughing. "Well, I just wanna know. It makes me feel good to know you like them. I don't know, it's weird"
"Well, I ain't gon' be hanging 101 posters all over my room, but they alright. They songs relate so I don't mind them. They all pretty good. That last track is funny though"
"I don't like that song. It's kind of corny"
"Ohhhhh my goodness, Macy dissin' B2K? I'm shocked!" He said sarcastically. We just talked a little more. I wasn't even ready to go home. "Reggie, what time is it?" I asked. I had to wake myself up because the both of us were on the verge of going to sleep. "Um, dang, it's about time for you to go," He said jumping outta bed. Just as he said that, Roshay started honking the horn outside. "I ain't ready to go," I whined slipping from over the covers. I had already gotten dressed. "Well, stay then"
"When is Mommy and Daddy coming home?" I asked teasing.
"Tomorrow, They went to Dallas to go see our Aunt Luna"
"Why didn't you go? You love going to Dallas"
"Well, I wanted to be with you and plus I gots a game tomorrow"
"A game? I thought it was cancelled"
"Naw, I got a street game with some niggas. We practice at 2 I think and the game gon' start at about 3. You gon' roll over?"
"Yeah, I know a lot of folks gon' be out there. Where it's at?"
"The park up the street. The big one where they be having the cook outs and stuff"
"Cool. I might roll up with Ly and Nicole. Roshay gotta date with what's his name Jermaine"
"Pretty boy Jermaine?"
"Yup!" I said heading for the door. He grabbed me back. "Well, let's have our little date and you stay the night"
"I can't. I wish I could, but Daddy's here and I gotta spend some time with him before he rushes back to Chicago. When I left, he went with Darius to practice and takin' the team out to eat. I wonder he's got in store for me?"
"Well, you know what I got in store for you. Anytime you want it girl, Reggie got it," He laughed opening the door for me. We walked downstairs and Roshay was sitting in her car on her cellphone. We got up to the car and she got off the phone. I opened the door and got in and Reggie leaned up against the door with his hand on the hood. "Unh unh Reggie, I just got my car waxed. Mind you step back?" Roshay sassed. "Damn, hey to you too Roshay," He laughed waving inside the car. "You know I gots love for you Reggie," She said has her phone went ringing again. I looked up at Reggie. "So, I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked. "Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. I enjoyed your company today. We need to do this again real soon," He said laughing.
"We will. We will," I assured him. Roshay got off the phone again. "Damn Shay, who calling you like that?" Reggie asked. "Oh, my stupid brother in Sacramento. He just playing on my phone like he lost his mind, but anyways. We bout to roll playboy"
"Aiight. I'll holla at you lata Macy"
"Alright. Goodnight," I said giving him a kiss and with that we drove away. I kept looking in the rearview window until he was out of sight.
