I looked at Dave, waiting for a response. I hadn't planned on throwing back that question but I didn't really have an answer myself. Dave looked back at me, as if he was thinking of what kind of answer he wanted to give me.
"A hood nigga don't deserve you" he finally spoke.
"How you figure?" I asked.
"I just know" his voice soften from his usual raspy roar.
"So why even bother asking her out?" I asked getting rather annoyed.
"I thought she could answer that"
"What she does know is that what she deserves and wants, can only be determined by her and only her" I crossed my arms.
Dave looked at me for a while and squinted his eyes at me. He picked up his drink and took a sip.
"Can I be honest?" he asked.
"Haven't you already?" I asked.
He nodded his head.
"I don't know why, but I want you. In the worst kind of way. You make a nigga wanna do better, shit be better. Your whole vibe different and I feel you don't even know it"
He sat back in his chair, as he caused me to blush. I looked down at my drink.
"Okay..."
"So the ball is in your court" he leaned forward.
I knew he meant that I would have to make the decision about this being more than what it was at the moment. But I wasn't too sure if I wanted to go there with him just yet. But the better part of my mind was curious. I felt myself being pulled towards him but I had no clue as to why.
"No, don't put it on all on me"
"But it is"
"This is our first date" I shook my head and laughed.
"And I'm telling you what I want" he looked at me in all seriousness.
"Dave" I shook my head again, feeling overwhelmed.
"I don't wanna be your friend, or the nigga you chill with from time to time"
Well damn, I thought to myself.
"What do you want to be exactly?"
I asked intrigued to know what kind of answer he would give me, since being my friend was out of the question.
"I want to be the man you can't wait to see everyday" he said laughing.
"That's not saying much" I joked.
"You know what I want to be"
"No I don't" I rolled my eyes playfully.
"I want to be that cat that makes you moan" he whispered, causing me to slightly gasp at his bluntness.
He reached across the table and grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers as he smiled at me.
"The ball is in your court"
"Do you want to be my man Dave, is that what you're trying to say?"
"Are you willing to be mine?" he asked slyly.
"I don't know, you kind of old" I joked.
"Oh you got jokes" he chuckled.
"Under one condition" I spoke seriously.
"Wassup?"
"Don't play me David" I looked straight in his eyes.
"Heard Ju" he raised my hand to his lips and kissed it.
"And no more popping up at my job unannounced and I mean it" I squinted my eyes at him.
"Can't make any promises but I'll try" he shook his head.
Dave and I ate dinner and spoke about my plans for my last year of college and what I what I wanted to do after graduation. After dinner, we headed back to the garage to pick up the car, we had another stop to make.
Dave
I hadn't expected to ask Jay to be my girlfriend right away, at least not tonight. But I felt I would be a fool if I didn't lay claim to her, as she sat beautifully in front of me. It was strange, here I was dam near almost thirty and I was chasing a 21 year old. Something about her whole vibe and aura was just different. I just liked being around her, I realize that after she took care of me. She was feisty when she needed to be but a softy for the most part.
As we walked to the garage she held my hand silently, I could tell she was thinking.
"Whachu thinking about?" I broke her out her thoughts.
"Nothing really" she looked over to me.
"You sure ? You type quiet"
"Uh yes I'm sure" she laughed.
"The next stop ain't too far from here"
She nodded her head in agreement.
"You know I never did get to check on your battle wound"
"It's doing much better, thanks"
"I'm happy your arm didn't fall off"
"You? I am ... I would have been vexed had I gotten an infection"
"I'm glad you didn't" she laughed.
"I wouldn't have told on you" I crossed my heart.
"I would have said I never seen you before" she laughed.
We finally reached the garage, as we waited for my car to be pulled out. Janae was busy looking through her phone. I got a phone call from Mia, I had to decide to answer or let it ring. But I knew I couldn't in case it had something to do with Kai.
"Hello" I answered.
"Hey" Mia responded.
"Wassup?"
"We're running out of diapers, can you pick up a box or two?"
"Yeah, no problem" I was trying to keep it short and simple.
"Where you at?" she asked.
"I'm out and about" I chuckled, shoot Janae a wink.
"Hmm, okay see you later"
"Yeah, night" I hung up.
My living situation was going to have to change and change asap. But I couldn't even think about that right now. We were in the middle of recording and doing the most. My car finally pulled up beside us, I tipped the man and we hopped in.
"So where exactly are we off to next?"
"A studio session" I smirked.
"A studio session ... I forgot you rap" she chuckled.
"Yeah..."
"Are you nice?"
"I don't know, you gonna have to be the judge of that"
"Okay, I'll try to honest yet nice"
"What kind of music are you into?"
"I'm into everything honestly, I like it all" she smiled.
"Hmm, I hear that"
"How about you ?"
"I'd say I'm into a lot as well ... but I'm primarily into hip-hop"
"Favorite rapper go!" she said super fast.
"Styles P, you?"
"Biggie, but I really do love Killa"
"Okay, okay" my eyes grew wide and I began to laugh.
"He's from Harlem, that ain't your man?" she laughed.
"Nah, I fuck with Killa heavy, just didn't expect those answers from you"
"I mean I like a lot of different rappers" she shrugged.
"Okay name a few more"
"Cole, Kiss, Kendrick ... I mean there is a lot"
"Jadakiss? Whachu know about Jada?"
"My first addiction, GI Joes and icies, after that it was light skinned girls and Nikes" she rapped a line real quick.
"Oh okay, you type young, who was putting you on?"
Her smile faded a little, but she turned her head.
"Miguel" she said looking down at her hands.
"Your older cousin huh?" I smirked.
"Yeah him"
"That's dope, he raps?"
"Nah, he likes to produce though"
Hmm made a lot of sense now ...
"That's cool, why your face looking like that"
"Like what?"
"Like earlier, you thinking again"
"Nothing" she shrugged, shaking it off.
"I like Nas, I hang with his young brother from time to time"
"Oh, that's cool .. Ever met Nas?"
"Not yet, I'm hoping one day I will"
"I wanna meet Killa so bad" she practically closed her eyes.
"You sure you never date a hood nigga before ?" I joked.
"I'm positive, I just always thought he was cute" she giggled.
"Okay, only room for one Harlem nigga in your life" I joked.
"Yeah whatever" she brushed me off smiling.

We pulled up to a studio on the west side of midtown. I found parking right by the entrance, which was good I hadn't planned on making her walk these long ass blocks in them heels. I came to the front desk and smiled at Tyler who was the receptionist.
"Look who finally made it" she greeted me with a smile.
"Wassup love?" I smiled.
Janae followed after me shortly, sort of closing her blazer around her and looking at her feet. She was extremely shy at times, I didn't get it though.
"Since when you bring girls to the sessions" Tyler spoke loud enough for Janae to hear.
"Aye chill out" I said.
"Janae, this is Tyler, she cool peoples ... she watch out for a nigga while I'm up in here" I smiled.
"Yeah okay, hey boo you ain't gotta be shy I don't bite" Tyler extended her hand.
Janae shook her hand and smiled.
"Nice to meet you"
"Likewise"
"Whose here?" I asked Tyler.
"All them fools you always got in here, Wayno must not know you was out, because he's been asking for you all damn night" she laughed.
"Yeah, my phone been blingin' because of him" I laughed.
"Well go ahead, don't want to keep you waiting. I suggest you cover her up, you know ya niggas is dogs" she looked over Janae.
"Man, get outta here" I laughed.
I grabbed Janae by the hand and headed towards the elevator.
"Don't worry about it, none of them fools gonna do or say shit to you. You rollin' with me. But if you uncomfortable let me know" I said to her as we rode the elevator up.
"You gonna record tonight?"
"Yeah, I got something I want to lay down tonight"
"You working on a project ?"
"Yes mam, I am"
We turned out the elevator down the hall, to one of the biggest studio rooms in here. I knocked twice and opened the door, letting all the weed smoke hit my nose.
"Oh so ya started without me?" I yelled.
"Ayeeee!!!!" all these niggas started screaming.
"I should pop you" Wayno came up to me with a smirk, once he saw who was behind me.
"Who shorty?!" My nigga Luke yelled from the other end.
"Mind ya business" I shot back, causing everyone to laugh.
Janae stood by the door, while all eyes were on her. Wayno looked at me then to Janae.
"Aiight niggas, we gotta go, engineer and Dave need their space" all these fools started moaning and groaning.
I looked over at Wayno and smirked, he knew I didn't need the space, but he sensed Janae's uneasiness.
"Good looking out but bro Mia called Kai need some diapers, I don't think imma make it" I whispered to him as he dapped me.
"Always brother and don't worry I gotchu, shoot me a text with what you need I'll stop by" he nodded his head.
I grabbed Janae and walked her in the booth while all these fools cleared out. But of course Luke had came to to door.
"Hey wassup ma?" he smiled, Janae smiled back.
"East?" he called to me.
"Wassup?"
He took out an eighth of weed and threw it at me.
"Back woods on the table" he nodded.
"Good shit nigga" I smiled.
"See you tomorrow" he waved and rolled out.
I placed the weed down and grabbed Janae's hands, pulling her towards the the stool that was in the booth.
"Have a seat right here" I smiled.
I went out to the front and said wassup to my engineer for the night. We just got rid of 10 plus dudes in here. So it was quiet. I grabbed a back wood and came back into the booth. I looked at Janae who looked a little scared.
"You good ma?"
"Yeah" she nodded.
"Let's go on out here, so I could roll"
We both walked back to the couches and sat down. Janae looked around, must have been her first time in a studio.
"First time at a studio?"
"Yessir" she nodded.
"Well this is where I be most of the time"
"That's cool"
"Do you smoke?" I asked, crushing the weed.
"Uh, no not at all" she shook her head.
"Do you want to try"
"Couldn't, even if I wanted to"
"Why's that?"
"I'm a nursing student, I can't get caught with that if I get tested"
"Oh yeah, I forget you a nurse"
"Future nurse" she corrected me.
"Ever thought about going to Med school?"
"I don't know, maybe grad school"
"Hmm, okay" I sparked the blunt.
"I'm not gonna smell ?" she asked worried.
"Nah, room is pretty big. I'll sit over here and smoke" I walked over to the control station and played some music.
I took a seat and told my boy Dru the engineer I was done for the night.
"Not recording?" He asked.
"Nah, you could go home. I had ya in here for a minute" I laughed.
"Yeah, but you sure?"
"Yeah, I won't be getting shit done tonight" I laughed.
"I hear that" he eyed Janae.
"Watch it nigga" I eyed him, as he put his hands up in defense.
"No disrespect" he shook his head.
"I'll check you later" I walked him to the door.
"Why did you kick everyone out?" She laughed.
"Too rowdy, didn't want to scare you" I joked.
"Oh please"
I inhaled from the blunt letting the smoke go through my lungs and blowing out my nose.
Janae watched me as I did this about two more times. I put out the blunt and sat down next to her.
"This is you?" She asked referring to the music.
"Yes mam"
She sat back into the couch and listen to a song I had done on another project.
"Your voice sounds so different"
"Is that good or bad?" I asked curious.
"It's good but I wonder if you sound the same"
"I'm not sure, you'd have to listen to something from now"
I walked over to the control table again and looked through the computer, I scrolled down and played something off my new project.
"Fuck your bitch and never talk again?" She looked at me sideways.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't know if I'm too smacked or the way you said that was too funny" I laughed again.
I sat down back by her and she finally took off her blazer.
"Explain to what is this?" I touched the hem of the tshirt.
"It's a tshirt dress" she smiled.
"More like a tshirt"
She rolled her eyes.
"You wear shit like this to school?" I eyed her.
"Sometimes, maybe not heels" she laughed.
"Do you always wear this much jewelry?" She touched on my chains.
I grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles.
"Occasionally" my eyes grew hazy.
"You look funny" she smiled.
"What I look like ?"
"A cat" she chuckled.
"A cat?" I asked confused.
"Yeah, like a black panther" she couldn't stop laughing.
I shook my head at her and wondered who was high, me or her.
I grabbed her hand that was still on my chest and pulled her forward, causing her to stop laughing. I pulled her closer to me and even though I towered over her, on the couch we were eye to eye. My low eyes watched as she stared back at me, I grabbed her chin and brought her lips up to mine. I softly pressed my lips against hers, feeling her soft lips press back against mine. I lightly tugged at her bottom lip to gain access, which she obliged letting my tongue graze hers. I messaged her tongue with mine, letting my free hand grip her thigh.
She placed a hand on my hand and grabbed into her fingers. She pulled away slowly from my lips. Looking at me with an unreadable look upon her face.
"Can you take me home?" She asked quietly.
I nodded my head slowly and got myself ready for this drive back home.
