We're in Compton and I'm trying to hide my fear. While Winona is gladly expressing her. Locking my car doors and windows. Looking around at every turn.
" we're not even out of the car. " I laugh looking around gulping. She gives a nervous laugh.
" I hear about these places all the time. I never thought they existed. " she says looking around still. I can't help but look around driving as quickly as possible. All eyes are on us and the car. Especially the car which makes me worry even more.
" there pull over. " she says pointing out the window. I slap her hand down looking around quickly.
" don't point !" I yell I look out her window and see 5 guys standing around talking and laughing. I park my car at a gas station and we look at each other breathing heavy.
" We don't have to go yaknow. " I whisper. She shakes her head laughing.
" no it's fine come on. " we grab our purses getting out and shutting the door at the same time.
I quickly hit my button locking my car doors. I clutch onto my purse harder than i ever have.
This place should be shut down , I think to myself. The streets are so dirty , covered in throw up ,crack pipes , beer bottles and people. We're walking down the street to where we seen the guys at. All eyes are on us and we walk faster in sync keeping our heads down as we do not wanting to make eye contact.
" excuse me ma'am do you have a dollar ?" A old black man with missing teeth asks approaching Winona she backs up gasping I quickly go into my purse handing the man a twenty dollar bill so he could leave.
" hey thanks !" He says backing away then running off. We finally approach them and they stop talking looking at us like we're some wild animals.
" You lost ?" One of them say. I nudge Winona who swallows then laughs.
" Do you guys know where we can get uhm pot from?"
I finally look up to see a short guy , one of the shortest guys I've seen actually. With a hat on staring back at me with his eyebrow raised. My heart starts beating fast , I start looking at him up and down. Noticing his full beautiful lips making me lick my own.
" Well?" He finally speaks. His voice ringing in my ears making me inhale sharply. I feel a sharp pain in my ribs making me snap out of my trance.
"What?!" I breathe out.
" is an ounce enough?" Winona asks looking at me with her eyes big I nod my head quickly.
" Well I have it in my trunk. " he says nonchalantly. I look at Winona whose looking at me with nothing but fear in her eyes.
She quickly digs in her purse handing me a hundred dollar bill.
" She'll go with you! " she laughs a real nervous laughing while pushing me towards him.
I quickly look back with me eyes big as well.
" I'll be in the car. " she smiles quickly walking almost running away back to the way we came from. I turn back and see the guy walking away. I look back at his friends and they're all giving me a death stare making my blood run cold.
" you gon follow him?" One of them say making me jump I run after him slowing down as I reach him almost bumping into him. He looks over his shoulder chuckling. I smile quickly putting my head down.
He walks up to a mint green car putting his key in his trunk. I stand next to him as he lifts up the trunk moving stuff around . Exposing many jars with many different drugs in them I'm assuming.
He opens the jars sniffing each one. I don't know what he's doing and I'm afraid to ask. I'm looking around noticing were in a cut off alley.
" I know what im doing. Keep watch. "
" what? " I ask my eyes getting big. He looks at me laughing. He looks less mean when he shows his gorgeous teeth.
" you don't have to be over my shoulder. Go stand in front of my car and keep watch for the cops. "
I move instantly standing in front of his car looking around. I hear the trunk slam shut making me jump looking back. He's approaching me holding a zip lock bag. He hands it to me and I grab it. Grazing his hand as I do , it sends chills down my spine. He still has his hand out. I give him a confused look
" I'm not giving it to you for free. "
" oh!" I say loudly laughing. I take the bill out of my bra handing it to him.
I stand there looking at him. He laughs shaking his head walking pass me. I follow him , before we reach his friends he stops handing me a piece of paper.
I grab it looking at it , it has a number. His number I'm guessing on it.
" if you need any more weed or anything else. Just call. "
" I only smoke. "
" I couldn't care less. " he says laughing. I roll my eyes hiding my smile. He begins walking away and I continue following him.
" you never told me your name. " I say before walking my direction
" I know. " he says looking over his shoulder. I stop in my tracks with my eyebrows dented. Never in my life has a guy ever played hard to get with me . They normally drool and do everything they possibly can to get my attention.
I quickly snap out of my daze when I look across the street and see a group of black girls staring at me up and down. I put my head down quickly walking back to where I parked my car. I get there tapping on the window making Winona jump and let out a high pitch scream. I can't help but laugh. She unlocks my door and I get in shutting it locking the doors back. I throw her my purse and quickly start the car up hitting the freeway back home. The sun is starting to set.As we reach the freeway we finally start breathing normal.
" what a rush. " Winona says laughing looking in the mirror fixing her hair. I give a fake laugh shaking my head . She looks in my purse pulling out the Baggie of weed. It automatically stinks up my whole car.
" man put that shit back!" I yell at her. Knowing my mother always checks my car for whatever reason whenever I get home from somewhere.
She puts it in her purse then puts mine down.
" Man I can't wait we're going to be so high.-" she goes quiet I look over and she has the paper the drug dealer gave me. I quickly take my eyes off the road snatching the paper shoving it in my bra
" What in the hell is that Beverly ?!" She screams hitting me on my arm.
" do you want me to crash?!" I yell trying to stop her from hitting me.
" You got his number ? Ew for what? Why gross !"
" He gave to me just in case we needed more okay? No big deal. "
She has her arms crossed with a disgusted look on her face.
" that's all it better be. "
" and if it wasn't ?" I say raising my eyebrow with an attitude .
" Sure being a negro home. Let's see how that'll work out with your parents."
Me stomach turns.
" Can you stop using that word ?!" She throws her hands in the air scoffing. She turns on the radio looking out the window. I shake my head rolling my eyes.Eric
" what was that about man?" Dre asks laughing. I shake my head putting the hundred in my sock with the rest of my money.
" MHM. " cube says shaking his head.
" fuck that suppose to mean?"
" I seen the way you was looking at that white girl man. " they all laugh agreeing
" y'all got me fucked up id never fuck with a white bitch ". I say defensive." aye I'm out y'all. It's getting late. " I say walking away. Dre follows , we live on the same street me we get in the car and I start driving home.
" She was cute though E. "
" who?"
" the one who bought from you " I shake my head laughing. He's right.Beverly
Winona is coughing so much she's almost gagging. I can't help but laugh holding the joint inhaling slowly. I've been smoking for as long as I can remember. But I must admit this is the strongest shit I've ever had. She inhales collecting herself then reaches for the joint. I hand it to her leaning back into my chair. I feel like I'm walking on clouds. She smokes the rest then leans back into her chair.
I can't help but think what the drug dealer is doing , and if he's thinking about me like I'm thinking about him.
" Do you think he's thinking about me?"
" Who ?" She asks laughing I sit up quickly running my fingers through my hair.
" The guy. " she gets up squinting her eyes at me with one eyebrow raised.
" The Compton guy?!" She exclaims. I say nothing but my smile doesn't fade. She shakes her head leaning back in her chair.
I exhale then jump when I hear a knock on my bedroom door. We both jump up walking in from my balcony. I shut the sliding door before any smoke comes in . I open the door to see the cook
" dinners ready. " I nod my head he leaves walking back down the stairs. I turn to Winona whose grabbing her purse we walk down the stairs trying not to laugh.
" Oh Winona , stay for dinner ?" My mother says.
" Oh no thanks I gotta get home. Thank you though. " she says smiling leaving. I shut the door walking to the huge dining room table. Our food is served to us and we all sit down and begin eating.
" what did you do today?" My mother asks sipping her champagne. I shrug my shoulders still eating. She puts her glass down sucking her teeth.
" Beverly dear sit up straight. A lady shouldn't slouch. "
" Mom I'm eating what's the big deal?"
" Don't argue with your mother. " my dad chimes in. I put my napkin in my plate.
" May I be excused ?" He nods his head and I quickly get up running upstairs to my room. I sit down on my bed turning my TV. I look on my dresser seeing the number. I bite my lip then pick up my phone dialing it.Right before I hangup regretting it. The phone picks up.
" Hello?"
" uh hi. " I breathe out .
" whose this ?"
Fuck
