I yank the door handle back, and watched her try to open it. I was so quick, and slick wit' it. That the doors automatically locked.
"Dammit! Let me out!" She growled, slappin' her hand on the dashboard.
'Oh shit. She goin' crazy.'
"Baby. Listen. I'm sorry.." I coo and grab her hand. "I know I can be disrespectful sometimes. I should've known better. I was taught and raised better than that."
"Common sense, shoulda' told you that the first time. I thought you knew that. You need to set an example for ya self and these other dudes, out here. Especially the young ones. I can't stand to see them, be disrespectful to these girls or their mothers. If you wanna make change. Start wit' that." She glared at me from the corner of her eye. "Anyway, let me out."
I watch her unlock the door and slam it shut, again.
"Listen cuh!" I punch the steerin' wheel. "I am tryna set an example. I truly am. I don't need yo input. Forgive me? For my sins." I look up to the ceilin' and back at her. "I didn't mean it. I don't wanna argue. I missed you too much to be doin' all this."
Euphoria's facial expression became sympathetic. It was like she wanted to cry.
She opened her arms and reached over.
I was glad to have my arms 'round her waist. Thumbed the lower part of her back and rested my chin on her shoulder blade. The soft side of me, was out.
"Do you love me?" I whisper in her ear.
She sighed and looked In my eyes, kissing my lips. "I do. Always."
I watched her remove herself out the car and look back at me, making her way into the building.
In the corner of my eye, somethin' blinded me. A black GT convertible, strolled past slowly and sped off.
The pit of my stomach churned. That wasn't a good feelin'. Maybe it's a sign of trouble? But this is a gated community. They wouldn't allow trouble here.
Then again.
Anyone could be here or get in.
Whoever this was.. probably lives here. I could be overreactin'.
But something kept tellin' me to investigate. 'I want to find out.'
