90's Love

12.

I listened to the ring back as I wrapped the home phone cord around my finger as I waited.

"Hello." A groggily voice answered.

"Hello, is Eric there."

"Mhm who dis." His raspy voice answer.

"Antwon bruh."

"Yoo!" He said excitedly dry. "Wasup, bruh what time is it?"

"I don't know like ten sum." I heard him move around as he kissed his teeth.

"Nigga it's seven thirty in the damn morning, you my homie and all but I don't let anyone cut in between my sleep time hit me back when the sun comes up." He said hanging up in my ear.

"Well dang." I chuckled to myself as I got off my bed.

It was Saturday morning my favorite day of the week. Jogging downstairs I walked into the kitchen seeing Tyren sitting at the table eating cereal, Pops drinking coffee reading the news paper and Monica sitting at the kitchen island painting her nails.

"Morning y'all."

"Morning." They  replied.

Grabbing a bowl from the cabinet my stomach growled at the picture of the cereal on the front of the box I poured a good amount into the large mixing bowl watching as the lucky charms fell into my bowl.

I danced toward the fridge grabbing the carton of milk pouring it over my bowl only for a few drops to fall.

My eyes stared at Tyren who fell out laughing.

I kissed my teeth shaking my head. "Man it ain't funny." I said feeling hurt in my heart.

"It is boy you over here moonwalking to the fridge like you Michael Jackson himself you was happy getting to that cereal. My bad bruh." Tyren laughed patting my cereal. "You want my milk from my cereal?"

I looked down at his bowl the white milk was now chocolate milk from his coco puff cereal. "What am I gonna do with that?" I kissed my teeth.

The sound of the phone ringing stopped Tyren from answering. "I'll get it." Monica said hopping off the stool chair blowing on her nails.

"What are y'all boys getting into today?"

"We have dates." Tyren answered.

"We? Dates? With who?" Pops asked folding up his news paper giving us his full attention.

"I don't know what he's talking about I never mentioned a time and place to her yet. Tyren made plans I guess today." I said looking over at him.

"Who you going out with Ty?"

"Oh this girl from school name  Moesha  Mitchell."

"Moesha Mitchell? That names sounds familiar." Pops said tapping his chin.

"Yeah her dad sells cars he has his own car place. I think she said her dad name Shawn. Nah that's no it's Frankie? Nah wait, that ain't it either no it's Frank yeah Frank Mitchell." He said snapping his fingers. "Yeah that's his name Frank."
