A Thug Love

3. Money Talks..

^Alaina Alexander

Using the house phone, I called my boyfriend Xavier. But everyone usually referred to him as X.

"Who this?" He answered in a sleepy voice, I'm guessing he had just awakened from a nap. Even though his voiced sounded raspy it was sexy as hell.

"Its Alaina. You just waking up?" I said.

"Yeah, that lean had me knocked out for a while. You need something?" He asked in the same sleepy voice.

"Well I was wondering if you were still coming over today.." I started.

"Ah shit, I forgot about that. Yeah, I'll be over that way but I gotta do some shit first." He said.

"Do some shit? Shit like what..?" I questioned.

He sighed. "What else?"

"Okay and I want you to meet my dad." I said excitedly.

"Meet ya dad?" He repeated.

"Yes!" I squealed.

"Look, I don't know-"

"I'll see you at six." I interjected before hanging up.

"Who was that?" My fathers deep voice sounded.

I turned around and faced him. "The boy I was telling you about."

"He's coming here today?" He queried I nodded.

"I figured since your always asking about him, I'd introduce you two." I shrugged.

He raised his eyes brows.

"Dad, please be nice." I pleaded and he held his hands up in surrender..

"I'll try." He said...

6:15 pm

"Thats him!" I called running to the door and opening it.

X stood their staring at me and I was mesmerized by him.

"Stop staring and let me in." He said.

I rolled my eyes in a playful manner and stood to the side for him to come in before closing the door.

He stopped walking when he came face to face with my father. They both just stood there staring at each other for a moment.

"So your the, X my daughter and apparently the whole city has been talking about." My father folded his arms and looked Xavier up and down.

"That's me." He replied dryly.

"So, what do you want to be when you grow up X? A rapper? A basket ball player?" He asked with a slight chuckle.

"That's kind of racist, dad." I mumbled..

"I'm just saying. The man has his pants sagging, and the signature chain, all rappers have that one chain." He said.
