I smacked my lips looking at him with one hand on my hip. First of all, he should already know I’m crazy, so I don’t know where he comes off with this approach. I know I don’t like it. After last night, he’s acting like this. I gave myself to this fool. “You know what? I’m going to go ahead and leave you alone. Something has got you fired up and I’m not going to argue and fight with you about it Reggie. I’m not the one today sweetie. I don’t know what has gotten into you. So, I’m out,” I explained getting up looking at him. He leaned back on the bench and looked up at me. “So what? Are you done yet, Macy?” He asked not really listening to anything I had to say. How could he be so silly? How could I be so silly? I thought he was a different person than the other dudes I dated. I tried to search his face, but he turned away from me. I hit the side of his head nad walked back to where Lyla and Nicole were.
“Everything okay Macy?” Nicole asked turning down her cd headphones.
“I don’t know girl. Reggie is trippin’, but I guess this game got him like this,” I replied crossing my arms.
“It looked like yall was arguing over there. I just hope things are cool. You want me to talk to him or something?” Nicole asked. I wanted to snap back at her saying “Look, I can handle my own problems!” but I didn’t. I just shook my head. “Naw, I ain’t trippin’ on it”
“Oh Macy please. You fooling yourself once again. If you and Reggie got a problem, you can tell us. Why hide it? Reggie is scandalous anyway. He don’t deserve you, girl,” Lyla said looking over at the guys as they headed back onto the court.
“Girl, I don’t know. That boy is my heart man. I don’t know why he be trippin’ on me. I don’t have time for this. He just better start to recognize”
“Not with the big head he got on his shoulders. That boy is using you,” Lyla blurted digging with the fingernail file in her nails. Nicole turned and looked at her and I did the same. Lyla ignored us and turned up her headphones to her B2K cd. “Wha, what you say Ly? I don’t think I heard you right, did I?” I questioned looking at Nicole.
“Nothing, forget it. Say, my brother here yall I gots ta roll out. See yall Monday or whatever,” Lyla said jumping off the table waving at the fellas on court, hugged two boys coming our way and to her brother’s car. I could not believe what she just said. Tracy, Reggie’s ex girlfriend came our way smiling. “Hey girl!” She said giving me a hug. Tracy was pretty cool. I had one class with her and besides she really doesn’t care that I go with Reggie. “Hey Trace what’s poppin’?” I asked trying to get cherry.
“Oh, everything. I just had to go pick up my check at work. Yall chilling huh?”
“Yup. Lyla just left. It’s just Nicole and I today”
“Yeah. How is it with you Reggie?”
“Alots girl. He’s trippin’ and I don’t know why”
“That’s Reggie for you. He’s a mystery sometimes. Things might get better. Reggie’s a good guy he just wasn’t my type, ya know?”
“Yeah,” I replied sighing. They just know how I feel, but I’m strong. Right?
“Well, Macy, Nicole, I’ll see you youngin’ later. I’m ‘bout to go holla at my nigga real quick before he has to leave. I’ll see yall later,” Tracy said cheery giving me a hug and left.
“She’s nice,” Nicole complimented. “Yeah, she lets me know about Reggie sometimes,” I replied. “You think she’d be trying to get back with Reggie?” Nicole asked.
“Girl, no. She’s done with Reggie. They weren’t a match at all, but it’s all good. Lyla be trippin’ but I wonder what that hoe meant,” I said thinking. Nicole started laughing. “You wrong. She was probably PMSing. You know Lyla. You wanna listen to my B2K cd. It’ll make you feel better,” Nicole teased.
“Naw girl. I’m cool. I’ll just forget it . I think you’re right. She just might be PMSing like you said…”
The two guys walked on over to the court to watch the guys play ball. It was about time for the game to start because people was rolling up deep. The music was loud around in peoples cars too. I wish I could still drive mines, but oh well.
“Damn, I sho hate how they ain’t got no food served,” One girl commented passing us and walking to the other area of the tables. “You heard her Ni?” I asked laughing. She wasn’t paying attention, so I nudged her.
“Oh girl, what?” She asked taking off the headphones. “That girl talkin’ about she hate how there ain’t no food,” I replied still laughing. She just looked at me like I crazy. Only Roshay would have gotten that joke.
“Forget it. It was funnier when I heard it,” I said concentrating back to the court where Reggie’s team was resting and the other team warming up. I excused myself again from Nicole when Reggie called me over.
“What?” I caught an attitude putting my hand on my hip.
“What’s wrong boo? You alright?” He asked putting his arm around me. I was confused at him. “Well…” I began. “Babe, stay after the game aight? Wait right over there so I can find you. I’ll walk you back home. Streets ain’t safe for you to be walkin’,” He jumped in before I could object. I smiled feeling that secure feeling again. I gave him a kiss on the cheek as the fellas started laughing and teasing him as I walked away.
“So, things back to normal I’m guessing,” Nicole smiled. I nodded my head like a little kid.
It was around six and Nicole’s boyfriend had already picked her up. I sat alone as the game finally began with introductions to the players of each team. I screamed the loudest for Reggie.
Around eight o’clock the game was drawing to a close as one of Reggie’s teammates made a quick three pointer at the call and the game was over. Reggie’s team had won the game. I waited as people began to go and congratulate the guys and leave. Tracy walked by with a crowd of friends. “You need a ride Macy?” She asked coming over to my table.
“Naw, Reggie’s got me. I’ll see you around girl,” I said as she was leaving. I turned around around to watch some dude arguing with his girlfriend. “Girl, get yo’ narrow behind in the car. I ain’t got time to hear this,” He nonchalantly said shoving her towards the car.
“Don’t touch me! You can give me a ride, but don’t expect to be getting’ any tonight nigga. My mama ain’t home either. You fucked up messin’ with that girl. I’m all you need!” She yelled as she got in the car slamming the door just as he sped off.
I laughed turning back to the court and I couldn’t find Reggie. I just saw him standing under the light, but he wasn’t there anymore. I got up walking around among small crowds trying to find him without making a scene. “I know he ain’t leave me. He couldn’t. He wouldn’t,” I assured myself aloud. Just then. Some dude grabbed me from behind around my waist putting his hand over my mouth. Shit, if he wanted to drag me off somewhere let it be but dang let me breathe! I couldn’t catch my breathe. He had a tight grip. “Stop! Help! Reggie!” I tried to yell, but no one was even paying attention as we came to some bushes and he laighly laid me pressed on the dirt in the darkenss.
“If you be quiet, I won’t hurt you, bad,” He threatened. I was smart, unlike them white girls in the movies tryna fight. I wanted to get away without a mark or bruise.
“Who are you? Dang, why me?” I asked struggling to see his face with the mask. He was of course a light brown skin tone and not too much taller than me. I could at least see his arms. “You ain’t gotta know that. Just…give me what I want then I’ll leave you alone. I know you ain’t a hard catch. You as easy as the next catch, He said rubbing my thighs slaving over me like a lion. “You know me?” I grudged pushing him hands away from me, but he was much stronger and difficult to handle.
I was finally able to push him away and I got up beginning to run, but he pushed me down and I slabbed my knees on the concrete flaaing into the grass avoiding hitting my head. “Move!” I screamed out trying to kick him. He pressed my legs out laughing hitting me in my face as I tried to reach his face. “If you wasn’t no hoe Macy, then people wouldn’t use you all the time!” He yelled sitting on my legs unbuckling his pants. I just started crying because I was too tired to fight anymore. Too tired. I started screaming for Reggie again before he slammed me again. “Stop!” I yelled at him regaining an angry strength praying I could pull away. I freed my hand and punched him in the face kicking like in a cat fight to get free. I got up and started to run like I never ran. I saw the court lights were still on and some boys were standing at a car near by. I started to run at them. I managed to scream Reggie’s name through my cries. He was over there and turned my way and ran to me and I just cried harder. I was more mad than I’d been the night he hit me. I stopped running as he grabbed me before I hit the dirt.
