Africa (urban)

Chapter 4

**This may be short.. Im having a little writer's block**

Africa POV

I thought I would never see this person again. I saw her and her son. What is his name? How could I forget..Markel? I felt Jamal tapping me but I was just so caught up that I ignored it. I heard him sigh deeply. That knocked me out my trance.

"You alright?"

"Ummm..yeah"

"You sure? You seem a little off"

"I said Im good"

"Alrighty then" He said awkwardly grabbing my hand. "What you wanna play first?"

"Umm..I never played the golf thing before" I said and he grabbed my hand exictedly. We were waiting for a couple of kids to finish so we could go next. They were finally finished and we stepped on. I just stood there because I didnt know what I was doing. I looked at him for the next step. He was just staring at me like I had 2 heads on something. I started getting insecure and looked down. This is the same shit I did with Keith except we would always go out to eat and he would just stare.

"Hellooo..J.Hey" I said waving my hand in his face.

Jamal POV

I didnt realize I was staring at her. She was just so beautiful. I took the moment to capture her facial features. Her face was round. She had to be mixed because of her hair. Her eyebrows were perfectly arched or whatever. Her eyes were light brown and they redness and puffiness was fading. She had a small mole on her chin. Her lips were so full, they just looked soft. She put her head down and I realized I probably made her uncomfortable.

"Sorry. I didnt mean to stare"

"Umm... Its cool" She said turning picking up her head but looking past me and not in front of my face. Shit I didnt mean to make this more awkward. She seemed off ever since I came and got her. Fuck this "date". I shouldnt have made her come anyway.

"Hey..maybe we should try this another time"

"What? Why?"

"Look I shoul- " I was cut off by this loud Hispanic lady in my damn ear. She yelled Africa's name and she had some niggah that looked to be around my age with her. Africa just stared at her and ran away. The little niggah was staring at Africa the entire time. Shit was kind of irritating. I ran after Africa and she was crying at my car. I didnt know what to do. I aint to good at this shit. I juts thought of one thing and that was to hold my bae. What the hell am I saying? She dont even like me. I held her for about 15 minutes and telling her that I didnt know what was going on, but that everything would be okay. 

"You good?"

"I guess" Damn. She been crying forvever. I helped her into the passenger seat and got in to take her home. 

"You gone be alright?" 

"Yea.. ummm thanks again Jamal."

Africa POV

I dont know what got over me. The fact that I was crying non stop. I dont fucking cry. I ran out because Maria acted like she didnt break my family apart. I was motherless for a while. Then my mom was okay but she was distant. Then my dad started to fade out my life. I got with Keith and he treated me like shit. Those were the worst 9 months of my life. I didnt have a woman to talk to. My mom was treating me like I was invisible. Not coming home but leaving money. I was alone and had to deal with Keith because I was by myself. I used to talk to Maria about stuff like that, but she left me all alone. Now Im about to go inside the house and be all alone AGAIN.

"Hey Africa!!!"

"Yeah?"

"You forgot your phone" He said getting out the car to hand it to me.

"Oh Thanks.. I forgot all about it" He chuckled and said 

"Well . I hope you feel better...Are you about to be here by yourself. I know that could be lonely. I can keep you company. Well.. only if you want me to"

Haha he was talking fast again. You would think he was just this hard niggah, but he seem nervous. What am I about to do? Oh what the heck..

"Jamal I would love for you to keep me company." I said smiling. He smiled back.

He ran back to his car to turn it off. I waited at the door. He jogged to the door and we both went straight to the couch. I slowly sat down on the couch. 

"Soo..Tell me about yourself" He said.

"Ooor we can play 21 questions"

"Alright you first"
