Will Love Ever Come?

Chapter 16

ESCHEWAL ARRIVES AT THE venue. He cruises past the long line filled with girls. They come in all shapes and sizes, some dressed in high heels and short skirts, others in low heels and short skirts, but all have goose pimples on their legs.

Deuce talks on his phone. He pulls it away from his mouth and points toward the long line of girls; he whispers, "You see how much girl is here, blood?"

Eschewal nods. He takes the first left and looks for a parking space.

Deuce ends his call and repeats his last sentence.

Eschewal replies, "I see it, blood, I see it, ber gyal."

Deuce hits the dashboard. "Forget bout that, you know the ting I was just talking to, said she wants to get chopped by two man."

In an unconcerned manner, Eschewal replies, "Yeah... is that how she's going on? Better that, boy." hoping that Deuce will sense that he is not interested in another one of his threesomes.

Deuce squeezes his lips together as he tries to convince Eschewal that this time will not be like the last time. He wipes the corner of his mouth and begins, "Nah, I'm telling you, blood. I told her I'm gonna come down tonight with a friend, innit, that's you, innit and deal with her case."

Eschewal finds a parking space and rolls his car into the spot.

He looks at Deuce from the corner of his eye and says, "That's long, man. Doing a battery is long. Look what happened last time. I swear if that girl ever saw my face, we would be in jail now for rape."

Deuce's right eye twitches. He fires back, "Naaaaah, it's different this time, blood. This girl is down; she wants to slam two man. Didn't you hear me talking to her?" He does not wait for Eschewal's reply. He adds, "Trust me, rudeboy, this ting is a big jezz, ber man's wet her, fit as well, blood. If you ever see how fit she is, you'll go mad."

Eschewal turns off the engine and remains quiet. He looks straight ahead. He is lost for words as he struggles to find an excuse.

Deuce believes he has done enough to influence him. He smirks and says, "So what, you down then, yeah?"

Eschewal opens the door and replies, "Yeah, man, whatever, man, I'm down." He shakes his head, hoping he can end his player pretense soon.

Deuce jumps out of his door and says, "Alright, I'm gonna call her back and tell her we're coming tonight."

They slam the car doors and make their way back towards the venue.
