~Thug Like Him~

I made breakfast for Mrs. West and cleaned up her apartment a bit. Mrs. West is a widow and has been living by herself for about five years now.

Mrs. West: I wasn't expecting you today. My granddaughter is coming by around noon.
Shante: I don't mind. I didn't have anything else to do today. I can sit with you until she comes.
Mrs. West: God bless you. Such a sweet child.

I smiled. We read the newspaper together then watched a little tv. Then we heard a knock at the door. I looked at the clock. It must be Mrs. West's granddaughter Alicia. I went to the door and peeped through the peep hole. It was Alicia. I opened the door.

Shante: Hey, Alicia.
Alicia: Hello, Shante!

She walked in carrying a large bag in both arms. "Hey, grandma!" She set the bag down on the counter.

Mrs. West: Alicia, darling.
Alicia walked over and gave Mrs. West a hug and a kiss on the forehead.

Alicia: How are you doing?
Mrs. West: I am blessed.
Alicia: Yes! Everyday we wake up is a blessed day indeed.
Shante: Excuse me, Mrs. West? But I'll go ahead and go now.
Mrs. West: Okay, dear. Thanks for sitting with me.
Shante: No, problem. I don't mind at all.
Alicia:Yes, we really appreciate it.
Shante: You're welcome.

I gave Mrs. West a hug and left. I was cautious going down the staircase. I didn't know if those men were still around. I looked around as I went down the long pathway toward the street. I felt a little relief when I seen Lemarvin across the street talking to a man. They exchanged something, then the man walked around the corner. I sat down on the bench and waited for the bus. I pulled out my book and started to read.

Lemarvin: Boo!

I almost jumped out into the street.

Shante: Don't do that!

He chuckled a little. " What if that had been someone else?"

Shante: What do you mean?
Lemarvin: What if someone was trying to snatch you or something? You was completely off guard.
Shante: Yeah, yeah. I get you.
I put my book away.
Lemarvin: Sorry for scaring you like that.
Shante: It's okay. You had a point.
He sat down next to me.
Lemarvin: You do know the bus isn't going to come for an half hour?
Shante: Yeah....
Lemarvin: So, you are just going to sit here?
Shante: Maybe.
Lemarvin: Or was you expecting to see someone?
Shante: Like who?
Lemarvin: I don't know. You tell me.
Shante: Are you implying that I was looking for you or something?
Lemarvin: Was you?
I paused. He had me figured out and I didn't want him to know that he was right.
Shante: Nope.
Lemarvin: You're lying.
Shante: You don't even know me so how can you say that I am lying?
Lemarvin: My bad then. You are telling half truths.
Shante: If you say so.
He moved a little closer to me. He smelled so good. I wanted to hug him so bad.

Shante: What are you doing?
Lemarvin: I can't sit close to you?
Shante: No...I mean....
He gave me that deep look into my eyes again. Every time he does that I feel like I am melting like butter.
Lemarvin: You have beautiful eyes.
Shante: Thank you....
I was so nervous but attracted at the same time.
Lemarvin: And your lips look so soft...
Shante: Cut that out.
Lemarvin: What? Just an observation.
Shante: You don't know me like that.
Lemarvin: I'd like to get to know you if you'd let me.
Shante: Like how?
Lemarvin: Can I take you somewhere?
Shante: I dunno.....like where?
Lemarvin: Somewhere.
Shante: Somewhere could be anywhere....across the street...or a field out in the middle of nowhere.
Lemarvin: I want to show you something. Meet me here tomorrow morning at 5:30 am.
Shante: Are you nuts?
Lemarvin: No. I am serious. That's only when I can show you.
Shante: Boy....that is too early.
Lemarvin: Please?
Shante: Let me think about it.
He moved even closer to me. I gave in. " Okay, alright. But I must warn you that I don't look my best that early in the morning.
Lemarvin: I doubt that.

I heard the bus approaching so I stood up. He stood up next to me.

Lemarvin: See you tomorrow morning.
Shante: Yeah. See you later.

I climbed onto the bus. He waved at me as the bus took off. I waved back.

The next morning the alarm woke me up at 4:45. I jumped up, threw on some clothes, brushed my teeth and headed to the bus stop. It was still kind of dark. I wasn't really feeling this but I wanted to see what Lemarvin had to show me. I got to the stop in front of Mrs. West's apartement building and got off. I stood there for a moment, looking around. Then I felt, someone come up behind me.

Lemarvin: Glad you decided to meet me. Come on.

He grabbed my hand and led me across the street. We walked a little ways up the street.

Shante: Where are we going?
Lemarvin: Just up this way.

We walked through a park and up a hill. Then we stopped. We could over look the lake. It was starting to becoming light now. Lemarvin pointed straight ahead.

Lemarvin: Look right there.....

I looked to where he was pointing. I could see an orange and yellow light coming up over the hill. The sun was rising. We stood there and watched until we could see it peek up just over the horizon. It was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen. I have never actually seen the sun rise before.

Shante: Wow....now that is unbelieveable.
Lemarvin: Isn't it? I watch it every morning.
Shante: Really?
Lemarvin: Yes. Lets me know I survived another day.
Shante: That's a nice perception.
He knodded. He was still holding my hand. Then he turned and looked at me.
Lemarvin: You don't look so bad this early in the morning.
Shante: Whatever...I look horrible.
Lemarvin: Well, I think you are very pretty..especially as the light of the sun falls on your face. Angelic like.

I could feel myself blushing.

Shante: Thanks for the compliment.
Lemarvin: Only speaking the truth.

We stood there a little while longer, watching until the sun was completely risen. Then we started walking down the hill and the bus stop.

Shante: I'm glad I came. I will never forget this.
Lemarvin: I'm glad you allowed me to share it with you. Most people don't pay it any attention.
Shante: True.
Lemarvin: Well...the bus should be here in a few minutes. I'll wait with you.
Shante: Okay.

The bus came. We stood there. That urge to hug him came over me again. I think he noticed something was on my mind.

Lemarvin: What is it?
Shante: Nothing...really.
Lemarvin: No....don't give me that.
Shante: I just want to.......
Lemarvin: What is it, babygirl?
Shante: Can I give you a hug?
He smiled.
Lemarvin: Is that all?
He leaned down wrapped his arms around me and gave me a tight hug. Then as he was letting go, he kissed me on the cheek softly. " You don't have to ask me for a hug."
Shante: Thanks for waiting with me.
Lemarvin: My pleasure.

I climbed onto the bus, again, leaving him standing there and went home. I smiled to myself. I was beginning to really like this guy.

I dreaded going back to school. I didn't want to see Carlos. I knew he was still salt about what happened at the party. He didn't come by my locker like he usually did right before first period. When I went into class, he was already at his desk. He didn't speak to me either. I felt kind of bad. If only he didn't try so hard to get me to go out with him, maybe things would have turned out differently. I couldn't wait for lunch time so I could talk to Deja.

Deja: Girl, Carlos is pissed. I heard he told somebody how you played him at the party.
Shante: What? Whatever. I don't care.
Deja: He act like the two of you was going out or something.
Shante: He's out of his mind.
Deja: For real though.
Shante: Hey, girl. I met up with Lemarvin the other day.
Deja: Oh, no kidding!
Shante: Yeah.
Deja: So? What did you do?
Shante: Nothing really. He showed me the sun rise.
Deja: Ahhhhh! That is so romantic!
Shante: I know. It was awesome. He was holding my hand.
Deja: Wow......I think he may be the one.
Shante: What? I hardly know the boy.
Deja: Well, get to know him. Go out with him.
Shante: I don't know....
Deja: Ugh! Would you get over it already! The boy showed you the sun rise. Ain't no boy every showed me no darn sun rise!
Shante: I know, I know.
Deja: He seems like a very deep guy.
Shante: Yes, he does.
Deja: So go out with him.
Shante: I'm not going to ask him out.
Deja: Why not? Girls do it all the time.
Shante: No way.
Deja: Stop being chicken and ask the boy out!
Shante: I don't know about that.
Deja: Well, let me ask him for you then.
Shante: NO!
Deja: Do you have his number?
Shante: No...
Deja: What? You better get that boy's phone number!
Shante: I see him when I go to Mrs. West's.
Deja: Well, I am going with you today and I am going to set y'alll up on a date.
Shante: No, don't do that!
Deja: Not trying to hear what you saying! You are not going to let this one slip away!

I kept trying to convince Deja not to do but she kept ignoring me. So after school, she rode the bus with me to Mrs. West's. We got off at the bus stop and stood on there looking around.

Deja: Well....where is he?
Shante: He is usually right across the street but I don't see him.
Deja: Hold up....there he is.
She pointed down the sidewalk a little ways. We could see him walking with a couple of guys. We stood there and waited. It was him, Jo Jo and another guy named Nell.

Jo Jo: What's up, fam?
Deja: Hey, Jo! What it do?
They hugged.
Jo Jo: What are you doing around here, D?
Deja: Got some business with my girl.
I rolled my eyes at her. I turned my attention to Lemarvin.
Shante: Hi....
Lemarvin: Hey.....
We just stood there looking at eachother.
Deja: What the.........hey you!
Deja stood in front of me, facing Lemarvin. "You and my girl like need to go out on a date or something. So what's good?"
Shante: Deja!!!!
Deja: Hush up, girl!
Lemarvin: Really?
Deja: Yes! This is really getting on my nerves. It is obvious the both of you are feeling eachother so just do the darn thing already! Why don't you take her to a movie or out to eat or something where the two of you can be alone and talk.

Lemarvin laughed. Then he looked over at me. "That's cool with me." Deja turned around to face me.

Deja: You heard what he said. So how about it?
Shante: I...
Deja: Don't say you don't know!
Shante: Okay.....
She turned back around to Lemarvin.
Deja: Alright......that's all. Now the two of you can finish the details.
She walked over to Jo Jo and Nell and started talking to them and left Lemarvin and I standing there facing eachother.

Lemarvin: Wow...your friend....
Shante: Is crazy, that's what she is.
Lemarvin: I was going to say she is something else. But I like her.
Shante: I guess.
Lemarvin: So.....when can I take you to a movie?
Shante: Whenever.
Lemarvin: Tomorrow night?
Shante: Sure.....
Lemarvin: No pressure.
Shante: Tomorrow is fine.
Lemarvin: Can I get your number?
Shante: Yeah....
He pulled out his celly. I told him my phone number and he entered it into his phone.
Lemarvin: I'll call you.
Shante: Okay.
He gave me a hug, then he and the boys walked around the corner.
Deja: See...that was painless.
Shante: I am going to beat you!
Deja: No, you should be thanking me.
Shante: For interfering?
Deja: No, for encouraging.
Shante: Whatever!

The next day, after I got home from helping Mrs. West, I waited for Lemarvin to call me. I didn't know when because he didn't say and I didn't see him around when I was at Mrs. West's. I went through my closet in search of something to wear. Nothing seemed right. I sighed and sat on the floor, staring at my the pile of clothes I had threw on the floor. The phone rang. I stood up and picked it up.

Shante: Hello?
Lemavin: May I speak to Shante?
Shante: This is she.
Lemarvin: Hey....
His voice sounded so sexy on the phone.
Shante: Hi....
Lemarvin: So...I need your address so I can pick you up at seven.
Shante: Okay....555 Westchester Lane.
Lemarvin: Alright....
Shante: Do you know where that is?
Lemarvin: I'll find it.
Shante: Okay.
Lemarvin: I'll see you at seven.
Shante: Yep. See ya then.
Lemarvin: Later.

We hung up and I hurried to search for something because it was already 6 o'clock. I grabbed some nice jeans and a pink baby doll shirt and threw them on the bed. I ran into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I got undressed and climbed in.

I was dressed and ready by 6:45. I sat by my window and looked out so I could see him pull up. Then it dawned on me that I didn't know he had a vehicle because I always see him walking. I shrugged to myself as I watched a black car pull up in front of my house. I ran out of my room and stood at the top of the stair case. I waited. The door bell rang. I ran down the stairs and peeped out the peep hole. It was him. I opened the door. He was standing there dressed in a nice baby blue button-up shirt, dark jeans and baby blue boots. He looked so good.

Lemarvin: Hey...
Shante: Is that your favorite word?
We laughed.
Lemarvin: My bad, babygirl. How are you today?
Shante: I am good.
Lemarvin: Ready?
Shante: Yep.
I closed the door and we walked down the walkway to the car.
Lemarvin: You look really nice.
Shante: Thanks. You do, too. Baby blue is my favorite color.
Lemarvin: Really?
Shante: Yep.
Lemarvin: Is that your favorite word?
He grinned and I just laughed as he opened the passenger side door for me and I got in. The car was really nice. It was black, with black tint and shiny rims. He got in and turned the ignition.

Shante: Is this your car?
Lemarvin: Yeah.
Shante: It's nice.
Lemarvin: Thanks.
Shante: Why I don't ever see you driving it?
Lemarvin: It's usually parked somewhere.
Shante: Oh, I see.

It was quiet for a while. Then he spoke:

Lemarvin: Are you hungry?
Shante: Actually, a little bit.
Lemarvin: Me, too. Do you want to get something to eat first?
Shante: Sure.

He drove to a little restaurant not far from my house. We went inside and sat down. The waiter handed us a menu.

Shante: Is this place expensive?
Lemarvin: It's not bad. The food is pretty good.
Shante: So you have been here before?
Lemarvin: Yes. A few times.
Shante: I don't know.....this stuff looks a little pricy.
Lemarvin: It's cool. Just order what you want.
Shante: Are you sure?
Lemarvin: Yeah, I'm sure.

We ordered our food, then we sat there in silence for a moment.

Lemarvin: So.....
Shante: What?
Lemarvin: How was school?
Shante: It was okay.
Lemarvin: Is old boy still mad?
I chuckled.
Shante: I guess so. He still won't speak to me or look in my direction.
Lemarvin: Poor fella.
Shante: No way. He'll be alright.
Lemarvin: You like to play hard to get.
Shante: No, I don't! What makes you say that?
Lemarvin: Just my perception. The first time I tried to get your attention, you just ignored me and kept walking.
Shante: I hate when a guy tries to get my attention by yelling 'hey'.
Lemarvin: What are we supposed to say if we don't know your name?
Shante: I don't know. But not 'hey, baby, what your name is?'
He laughed.
Lemarvin: I wouldn't say that though.
Shante: I sure hope not.

Our food arrived shortly. I was kind of nervous to eat in front of him. I ate small bites. I think he noticed because he laughed a few times.

Shante: What is so funny?
Lemarvin: OH....nothing.
Shante: No, what is it?
Lemarvin: You.
Shante: What about me is so funny?
Lemarvin: You can eat in front of me, girl. No need to be insecure.
Shante: I'm not. I just don't like eating in front of guys.
Lemarvin: You can be yourself around me.
Shante: You might not like me then. I can be a very complex person.
Lemarvin: I can handle it.
Shante: Uh huh.
He looked at me with those sexy brown eyes of his. I looked down at my plate.

Lemarvin: What?
Shante: You need to stop doing that.
Lemarvin: Doing what, girl?
Shante: Those looks.
Lemarvin: What kinds of looks?
Shante: Directly into my eyes.
Lemarvin: Why, not? They always say to look a perons directly into their eyes.
Shante: Yeah, when you are having a serious conversation.
Lemarvin: Well, I like looking into your eyes. You have pretty eyes.
Shante: Well, thanks. But it makes me feel weird.
Lemarvin: Okay, I'm sorry. I won't look at you anymore.
Shante: Now I didn't say that.
Lemarvin: Nope....I won't look at you at all.
He turned his head to the side so he could not see me.
Shante: Don't do that! That is silly.
Lemarvin: You said for me not to look at you.
Shante: I mean, gazing into my eyes for a long period of time.
Lemarvin: Well, I'm sorry. You are a pretty girl. I can't help looking at you like that.
I wanted to tell him how fine I thought he was looking right then but I opted not to say it.
Shante: Okay. Never mind. Do what you want.
Lemarvin: Be careful what you say.
Shante: I am.
Lemarvin: If I could do what I want, I would have kissed you by now.
I was thinking to myself, why haven't you then?
Shante: What?
Lemarvin: I think you heard me. Why do you think I aim for your cheek?
Shante: I figured you was being a gentleman.
Lemarvin: I was.
Shante: So...
Lemarvin: So what if next time I aim in a different place?
Shante: I don't know. I guess you will have to try it and see.

After we ate, he paid for our food and we walked outside.

Shante: You know what?
Lemarvin: What?
Shante: I really don't want to go to the movies.
Lemarvin: That's fine. What do you want to do?
I shrugged.
Shante: I don't know.
Lemarvin: Do you know how to bowl?
Shante: Not very well.
Lemarvin: I haven't done that in minute. Do you want to go?
Shante: I guess.

We got in his car and left the restaurant. He drove to the nearest bowling alley. We went inside, got our shoes and set up at our lane. I searched for a ball small enough for my fingers.

Lemavin: You can go first.
Shante: Okay.

I got up and grabbed my little ball. I walked up to the line and stopped.

Lemarvin: What's the matter?
Shante: Nothing.
Lemarvin: Hold on.

He walked over to me and behind and put his arms around me. He put his hand over mine, showing me how to grip the ball. My heart started to beat fast.

Lemarvin: If you hold it like this, you should be able to get a good aim. Go ahead and try.

I reached back then flung the ball forward. It went straight then curved but no gutter. I knocked down five pins.

Lemarvin: Next time put a little more power behind it.

His turn. He did it so fast that I almost didn't see it. He got a strike.

Shante: Oh, so we have a seasoned player?
Lemarvin: I am pretty good. Not bragging.
Shante: I see.
Lemarvin: Your turn, babygirl. Remember what I showed you.

I tried it and it worked. I knocked down half of the pins and on the second attempt I got a spare.

Lemarvin: You got it.

We bowled for an hour and a half, then decided to go before it got late. He drove me back to my house. He parked and we sat there.

Shante: Thanks.
Lemarvin: It's all good.
Shante: Although this was forced on us.
He laughed.
Lemarvin: It's cool, though. I enjoyed you.
Shante: Me, too.
Lemarvin: Yeah, right.
Shante: I did!
Lemarvin: Okay, if you say so.
Shante: Whatever.

It was silent for a moment.

Lemarvin: Well.....you have to get up in the morning.
Shante: Don't remind me.
Lemarvin: So....
Shante: Well....
Lemarvin: Can I give you a kiss?
Shante: Depends on where.
Lemarvin: Somewhere on your face.
Shante: That could be my forehead...my nose...my chin.
Lemarvin: Your lips...
I felt chills run through my body.
Shante: I......suppose it would be alright.

He leaned over, turned my face towards his, and put his lips on mine. Then I felt a little tongue. His breath smelled like peppermint and his lips were so soft. I felt like I was dreaming. It lasted for a few seconds, then he stopped.

Shante: Wow...
Lemarvin: I was right.
Shante: About what?
Lemarvin: Your lips are as soft as they look.
I felt myself blushing.
Shante: Thanks.
Lemarvin: You better go. I'll wait until you get in the house.
Shante: Okay...see you later.
Lemarvin: No doubt. Is it okay if I call you sometime?
Shante: Sure. I wouldn't mind at all.
