Luv Struck

((Reeco))

"So what i gotta do to get you alone?" 

"Reeco it hasn't even been three days, and what you need me alone for?" Mickie asked me.

"Cause i wanna know more about you, is that wrong?" I smiled on the other end of the phone. 

"How you know i ain't got a man?" 

"Cause i can tell the smile in your tone, and you wouldn't be talking on the phone with me right now." I  laughed. 

Micayla was a real cool female, she wasn't supermodel type or as pretty as Natoshia but all that didn't matter to me she was down to earth and fun.

"I am hungry." she spoke in her ghetto girl voice poppin her lips. (see fun)

I looked at my watch and saw that it was about noon and i knew she was at work. I needed to make a run and drop off something so i figured i could slide a lunch date in. 

"So what you really saying is, Reeco come pick me up and let's go for a quick lunch date?" 

"I'm not saying anything that was your lips." she giggled. "I gotta get back to these kids, the bell just rung and they are back from recess."

"You at Lincoln Elementary right?" i grabbed my package and keys.

"Yeah, how you know?"

"I have my ways, i'll be there by the time you take a lunch." i headed out the door to my truck.

"Call me when you arrive, oh and i like shrimp." she hung up.

I arrived at the spot on Mason and Cane street, it didn't look like anyone was here so i sat there for a minute and watched the scene. I looked at my watch, "Shit i got twenty minutes." 

I grabbed the package and headed towards the building looking over my shoulders. Once i got inside i could hear dogs barking and laughter. 

"NIGGA DON'T YOU EVER CROSS ME AGAIN, NOW YOU TELL ZANE I WANT MY MONEY! YOU GOT 6 HOURS OR I'M ICIN' YOU AND ZANE." 

A dude with a bat in one hand yelled at this dude that looked familiar but i couldn't tell cause his face was beat all up. I stood there waiting until the dude was done yelling. 

"YO GET THE FUCK UP OUTTA MY FACE!" 

The beat up guy ran past me and it was at that moment that i recognize him, Darnell- this dude use to hang with me back in the day. He was always so nerdy and scary, when the fuck did he get into the drug business? 

"AYE WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU AND WHO TOLD YOU TO COME UP IN HERE?" the dude with the bat and his a couple homeboys walked towards me.

"YOU 5-0?" he put the bat in my face.

"Nah i'm just here to drop off a package from Big H." I handed him the duffle bag.

He lowered the bat and became calm, "Oh shit i forgot all about that shit, I ever seen yo ass before tho-who you?" he opened the duffle bag and looked through it.

"Reeco." I stood there not afraid but just puzzled as to why i was still doing this dope boy shit, this life can be dangerous so why was i stuck in it? 

"Yeah it's all here. Reeco huh? So Big H got him a new errand boy huh? NEXT TIME NIGGA GO AROUND THE BACK AND KNOCK FOUR TIMES. I'm gone have to school you." he put the bat back in my face and laughed.

I stood there looking him dead in his eyes with no fear. 

"Oh you one of them niggas huh? You ain't a bitch i see." 

We stood there face to face for a minute, "Never a bitch." 

"Lemme holla at you." he waved the bat to the dudes standing behind him to lay back while he chop it up with me.

I pulled up to the school and looked at the time, fuck i was about 8 minutes late. I texted Micayla, she responded quick and a few moments later she was walking out the building with her purse.

I hopped out the truck and opened the door to the passenger side, "And how are you?"

"Hungry, you're late." she gave me a fake mean face.

I closed her door and got in the driver side, "My bad i had to take care of some business." i handed her a brown bag and a drink. 

She opened the bag and the smell instantly hit her nose, jumbo fried shrimp, fries, cole slaw and a strawberry soda. "Omg marry me?" she wasted no time digging in.

I laughed and pulled out my food as we sat in the parking lot of the school and ate. We shared some good conversation and the more we talked the more i knew i started liking this girl, she was everything i wanted and needed in my life. Growing up in school i never had a problem getting a female, but i honestly was just trying to fuck. As i got older and graduated and basically became a errand dope boy i realized i never had a girl that i was fully into; like no games no cheating just seriously in love with. 

"So this summer i'm trying to do a little something something you know?" she stuck a fry in her mouth and looked at me. "Reeco?" 

"Huh?" 

"Did you hear anything that i said?" she smacked my arm.

"Ouch! Yeah yeah i heard you- you said you wanted to plan a bomb ass vacation this summer." i mocked her ghetto imitation.

We laughed.

"Shit time flies it's time for me to go back inside with these bey bey kids. Thank you for lunch, those shrimp were bomb." she reached over to hug me but i snuck a kiss on the lips in. "Whoa" she backed up.

"Whaa?" i held her arm.

"Reeco we just coolin' right?" she looked serious.

"Yeah we are but I though-" 

"Look you cool and all but i'm not trying to get hurt, I just know how guys are with me." she looked down. 

I sat back and looked at her, "How guys are with you, what you mean Mickie?" 

"I'm not exactly the most beautiful girl in the world..." she laughed and fidget with her keys.

"You are in my world." And i leaned in for another kiss, this time she didn't pull away.
