I pushed my eating trey aside as he was still laughing. It didn’t embarrass me as much as it did before. I was just laughing along with him. I had enough of food and was looking forward to a Reggie dessert. He took another sip of his soda, slirppin’. That is the most annoying sound next to nails being strapped on a chalk board. Then I dozed into another thought. Oh Mario, De’Mario, I wonder what you’re up to? I asked myself in my thoughts. I know, he probably thinking, “When I’m going to meet this girl named Macy. The girl of my dreams” I started laughing at how stupid I was thinking.
“What’s so funny? I wanna laugh to,” Reggie asked taking in a forkful of mac and cheese.
“Oh, nothing. I wasn’t thinking about anything that important. It was just a little childish thought that’s all”
“Well, what? I want to know everything you thinking”
I smiled, “Everything?”
“Everything”
“Alright, I was thinking about De’Mario”
“Alright, I didn’t want to know about him”
I laughed, “I’m gonna go make me a cone of ice cream. You want one?” I asked getting up from our booth.
“Naw. I’ll just lip of yours when you get back”
“Oww…nasty boy” I joked walking back to the buffet area.
After we had our dessert we still hadn’t decided to leave yet.
“Macy, you know I always got your back right?”
Oh my goodness! What a weak ass line I have EVER heard.
“Yeah baby I know. I got yours too. You got mines always?”
“Always. I’ll never leave you alone. I’ll be there when your daddy ain’t. Like them B2K boys say I gots ta be your everything,” He replied charming me. I was loving it.
“Ah, baby, you so sweet”
“Anything for you. Seriously, I didn’t think our relationship would work when we started out because we seemed like two different people. We are, but we worked it out. I really like who you are and I really care about you, fa real. I really do”
BORING!!! Somebody, wake up my brain up! I adore Regiie, but sometimes the mushy talk makes me kind of bored with out a bit of excitement and I was only waiting for his move.
“Same here from me babe. I’ll do anything for you. I’ll at least try,” I replied.
“You’re like the only girl who really understand me you know that? You actually understand my passion for basketball and not just how I might become this big college or pro basketball star or something. You really know me. I respect that about you,” He explained holding my hand.
“You deserve anything you get Reggie, and I’m just there to give you loving support that’s all. I believe you. I wish you would believe in me. A sista gotta get her work on too.”
“And you do. You do it well in fact. You really work hard. It’s like it scares me to think of you being around dudes like B2K all damn day? Naw, I ain’t feelin that. Look at Ashanti…”
“What about her? She doing her thang. She didn’t…”
“She’s like the Murder Inc. hoe Macy”
“Hey, you better shut that shit up right there. Ashanti is not”
“Alright. My bad. I forgot yall were related.”
“Even if we weren’t. You know what? I’m going to disregard that. Ashanti isn’t really gon’ care what other people think. She loves what she does and she’s a great songwriter and fuck all of yall”
Reggie began to laugh, “I was just playing. For real, I was.”
“Yeah, whatever.”
After the movie, he drove me home. He escorts me to the door. It was pretty late.
“I really had a great evening Reggie. Thank you a lot. It was crunk. The movie was hot, you’re hot, I’m hot and the food was good. I guess I’ll see you in school on Monday then”
“Um, alright, if you want me be like that”
“What chu mean by that?”
“You can see me tomorrow. We can go on a picnic or something. You can come and chill at my house and meet my folks”
“So soon?”
“Yeah. They been asking about you anyway. They want to meet you”
“Um, I don’t know Reggie”
“Come on. I met your folks. You have to at least come have dinner with us. I think Mama making lasagna and boy that shit be good!”
I laughed thinking about lasagna. I bet it was good. “Alright, I’ll ask my mom and I’ll call you tomorrow about three then”
So, it was settled. I guess I’ll be having dinner with them tomorrow. He gave me a kiss on my forehead like I was Daddy’s little girl all over again and then he left. I unlocked my door seeing Mama laying on the couch with the television still on at Nick at Nite. I turned off the tv and ran upstairs to Darius’s room. His room is usually a hot mess unless Mama forces him to clean his room styled with basketball items everywhere. He’s obsessed with basketball if you ask me. I walked in and it was like fire hit my face. It was blazing hot in his room. I guess the a/c went out that comes through to his room because the rest of the house was cool. He was sweating like a black slave in the winter time out there in the field all day long. I attempted to walk him up from what I guess must have been in his dreams.
“What girl? You see I’m trying to sleep?” He squirmed wiping his forehead.
“It’s hot in here D. You ain’t hot?”
“Yeah, but I like it like that. What chu want anyways?”
“My date. You don’t want to hear about it? Boy, I had so much fun and then he made me mad because you know what Reggie HAD the nerve…he HAD the-”
“Shut up Macy. Slow it down. Now, what you say?” He asked wiping his eyes from his sleep and yawning.
I know it seems weird, but who else can you talk to when you don’t have a sister and you can’t call your homegirl that late at night to tell her what’s up and your mom who thinks every dude is out just to get some which just might be half true. Darius, I feel as though he understands me. He’s always there when I don’t have anybody else to talk to even though he sometimes uses what I tell him against me, but I do the same thing to him.
“Alright. Well, it was so much fun…” I began to tell him. I told him every detail and everything we talked about. It was around two o’clock before we finally said goodnight and turned into bed.
HOLLA BACK YOUNGIN....
