Will Love Ever Come?

Chapter 14

ESCHEWAL PULLS HIS CAR around the corner and parks close to the kerb. He beeps the horn twice to let Deuce know he has arrived. Ten minutes later, Deuce steps out of his door and moseys over to Eschewal's car. He pops the door and jumps into the seat.

Eschewal turns down the music.

"Wha gwan, blood?"

"Yeah, wha gwan?"

They hit fists.

Eschewal puts the car into gear and then drives towards some type of launch party up in the city.

Deuce leans back in the chair. He rolls down the window. He looks at Eschewal and says, "Hey, blood, you know how much gyal is gonna be at this ting?"

Eschewal turns left onto the main road and then replies with a smile, "Yeah, true stories, yeah?"

"Course, blood, ber gyal. I'm telling you, bruv..." before Deuce can finish his sentence, he spots two fine young females walking. "Oi, bruv, stop, stop," he points at the two young females. "Look at that over there, blood. Stop the car. Let me spit to them."

Eschewal pulls the car over to the left, then swings it around into a U-turn and drives towards the young females. He stops the car beside them. Deuce jumps out and begins his spiel. He never usually does this but wants to point out that he is doing all the work to get the girls.

He jumps back into the car, laughing. "Yeah, blood, those young tings are on it. They said they're gonna link man on the rebound."

Eschewal nods and spins the car back around. Before he can put the car into second gear, Deuce spots another two girls. He tells Eschewal to stop. Deuce hollers out the window to the prettiest one out of the two, "What's going on, babes?"

The girl pushes up her nose, ignores Deuce, and walks on with a sense of conceit in her steps.

Deuce hollers, "Oi, you little bitch, don't try blow me out. Don't try go on like you're stush. Anyway, jog on, your lip long like liver."

Eschewal laughs.

Deuce smiles and says, "You get me, though, blood, she try go on like she's nice for man. With her cheap shoes, come, man, blow."

Eschewal puts the car into gear, turns up the music then pulls away from the kerb. He shoots past the conceited girls in second gear and onwards to the launch party.
