"Who the fuck was that Deuce" I said as soon as I seen him.
"I ain't never seen ha, she sexy, she probably stuck up tho." He responded.
Deuce thought that every girl that was smart and cute was stuck up.
"Fuck it, even if she is, that's something I gotta find out," I said knowing that I was gonna make her mine or die trying.
I had all summer to find her, but right now we gotta go meet up with Auntie for this graduation dinner with the fam.
I can't wait til we get to Florida. Me, leading the baseball team to the Championship. Deuce, leading the football team to the Championship. That's our dream and our plan. We are going to have fun and celebrate for the first half of the summer, and starting training and gettin ready for college, the second half of the summer.
We had ate way too much, we had laughed a lot and Momma had cried a lot. I guess that means it was a success. Just as everyone was about to say their goodbyes, Duece stood up.
"Before we go, Auntie and Uncle, I just want to tell y'all first, before I call the schools, I know that I already committed to Ole Miss, but I'm going to go to Florida wit K.O." he belted out with confidence.
"Ohh Baby I had been praying that y'all went to school together...my son and my nephew, sister would be so proud of y'all" she said while at the same time crying and wiping away tears.
I know Auntie would be so proud of Duece, if you're wondering; we never talked about Deuce's dad because he was never around. And it wasn't like Duece was going to go looking for him.
"Who?" is how the whole family felt and it has never been any different.
We had had a long day and we didn't feel like doing anything except chilling for the rest of the night. Deuce said he was gone go see Sam and hit me in the morning. Sam was this chick that Duece has been messing with for bout a month now. She ain't all that, but she got a nice crib, her own car, no kids, and a job. So for right now she has is wifey. Duece was crazy. Ohh and her real name is Samantha, I know you guys coulda figured that out. I'm bout to text Tonya and see whats up. Since Duece was gone there was no reason for me to stay home.Wyd?
In da bed, what time is it?
Its early, im bout to come over, im tired
K. im bout to unlock the back door for u
I know what y'all thinking. No, I'm not going over there for that. I always come over when Deuce doesn't stay home. If I decide to stay over when he is home, then he will leave the house.
When I got to the back door it was still locked. I knocked a couple times and she didn't answer.
After knocking and waiting for about five minutes she finally answered the door.
"Girl go put some clothes on, and throw me some cover and a pillow down here," I said.
She answered the door in a wife beater and some boy shorts. I can't really say she did it on purpose; she always walked around the house like that when I was there. But now I was looking. Now things are different, whether we wanted to admit it or not. I decided against all my urges, got comfortable on the couch, and watched SportsCenter to I fell asleep. That couch was always the most comfortable couch ever. But not tonight. On top of that I was burning up. What do she got the heat on? I said d to myself. I started up the stairs to either turn the heat off or the air up. Tonya was standing in the hallway. The only thing she had on was a smile....
Unfortunately I wasn't as good at fighting my impulses as I thought and she fixed breakfast in the morning.
And yes...I did have a condom this time.
