Opposites Attract

Chapter Three

Anthony in mm .

James P O V

Me and my driver Leonard pull up to 3120 redbud dr and its the hood it looked so familiar. It's funny because I grew up the next block over. That was the clean part. But all my friends were on this side.

"Sir Shall I knock "

No I got it.

So I walk up to the door and feel nervous. As each step I feel it more and more. I haven't felt like this in a while. Well here goes nothing.

*knock knock*

I stood there for a minute she answers the door. She looks beautiful nice curly hair. She dressed up with a royal blue dress, black and royal blue heals with gold jewelry. To say she looked good was an understatement.

Her son matched her black pants royal blue button up. It was so nice.

"Mommy there's a limo " while dashing to the car.

"I see baby. " She says blushing.

Well hello Ms.Mariah

"Hello Mr.James" she says jokingly back.

"A limousine you shouldn't have really were going to a pizza place. " She say baffled but serious

Are we going to stare at the limo or go. I say joking.

"I'll take the stare for 300" she laughs as Leonard helps her and Anthony in the car. I get in the car Leonard closes the door.

"Where to sir" Leonard asked

Ummm Le Slicè

"Well do sir" he responded

Thank you .!

Mariah P O V

When he said "Le Slicè " I knew where we were going they make gourmet pizza. I always wanted to try it.

But I thought about it why is he being so nice. I see him and ant talking. He a really cool guy. I can tell he's fun. He tapped me and smiled he looked fine I mean he look great but he look better in regular clothes. He had on black jeans and a half button grey shirt. Some Jordan's to match.

Before I know it were here. Leonard open the door and James let me and ant out. Then he steps out he's true gentleman. Leonard closes the door. And James whispered to him.

I fixed Ant's shirt he was all over the limo. But my gorgeous son looked good. We walked into the restaurant together.

James grabbed my hand and smiled. I love his smile. One of the workers recognized him. And then he seated us at this nice table. The restaurant interior was nice.

So James and I roamed the menu. And Geesh the prices were ridiculous I never seen a pizza cost fifty five dollars and up a slice. If you customize it cost some more. So I got Anthony and I a regular slice of cheese.

"You do know I'm paying for you right ? And I also know you don't want that for real" James said with a weird look.

Um I'm fine I have my own thank you.

"Little man do you want a regular cheese. " He said it with a point proven voice.

"No" Ant said.

Well okay fine.

The waiter finally came over he asked us what drinks we wanted.

Of course I asked for a sprite with a lemon wedge, James asked for a sparkling water. And I got my Ant some strawberry melon juice.

The waiter came back with the drinks and he was actually a cutie. He looked younger than me he asked what we would like to eat so I let Anthony tell me his order. I ordered a thin crust bacon sausage green peppers. James ordered a onion steak with extra cheese it sounded good.

So we all conversed while waiting on the food.

James didn't tell me much about him. I can see how he is. He's humble sensible and human.

The food came finally , When I took the first bite it was heaven. But I looked at James he's eating with a fork and a knife. Well mannered. No fun so I introduced the idea of eating with his hands.

James why the fork and knife ? I asked

"Less the mess and this is how I eat everything " he said seriously.

Well try something new today for me. I poked my lip out

"Okay you want me to eat with hands , okay what do I get for my accomplishment" he asked

I'll pay for the food.

"No your not getting one past me. "

Dang alright how about another day together ?

"That's what I'm saying" he said excited

He was eating with his hands so I threw a green pepper at him. Anthony snitched of course. But James laughed. And launched an onion at me. I told him I'll get him later for that.

We finished eating and it was time to pay the bill. The bill came up to $217.OO and I reach in my purse to grab the money James snatch my pursed. Anthony laughed at him. So James pulled out $3OO. And kept it moving.

Leonard was outside waiting on us he's a really nice guy. Anthony and I get in and he looked tired . So I was going to tell him to drop me off. Instead of making this night any longer.
I Finally reach home. He walked us to the door when I got in I passed out with my baby Ant.
