Living on the circle, you saw everybody especially on the weekends. The circle is where everyone would ride and show off their whip. Everyone that would ride through would see us sitting on the porch would honk and wave or they would just stop.
The house wasn't all that great but at least we had some place to lay our heads. The squirrels were getting in the wall and running around especially in the closets. You would never see them but you could always hear them running around.
Elenor had come down to visit and Reece told me that he wanted me at home so that she wouldn't know that I'm hardly ever at home. I really didn't want to stay at home but I knew that I didn't want to listen to Elenor complain. Reece's sister Rolanda wanted him to watch her son Jamal while she went to the casino and he told her that he would. I was not happy about it but there was not a lot that I could do about it so I just went with the flow.
Jamal always stayed in trouble and nobody in the family wanted to watch him because he was so bad. Reece was the only on that he did not get out of line with. Jamal and I never got alone because he always thought that I was taking all of his uncle's time. He was his mama's baby and wanted everyone else around him to baby him. Jamal had an older sister but she was much older, she was married and had three children of her own. Her children were almost the same age as her little brother.
Jamal ended up staying the entire weekend. He was dropped off on a Thursday but not picked up until Monday. On Sunday I had had enough of Jamal. I wanted this little boy out of my house and I was willing to do whatever it took to get him out. I had been there so long by myself that I did not want to share my space with him.
Reece got up that morning and fixed breakfast. We ate and after we cleaned up the kitchen we decided to watch a movie. Normally we would've been outside but on this particular day we decided to watch a movie. Jamal was getting on my nerves and so I punched him, he went and told Reece that I him him for no reason. Instead of Reece just coming to talk to me they cooked up a plan to get even. Forgetting that I had punched Jamal earlier that day; while Reece was cooking dinner, he came in the living room and asked if anybody needed anything. "I need some kool-aid," I said. "No problem I will do that for you," Reece said. "No that's okay i will get it myself," I replied. "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am." I go in the kitchen and start to fix me something to drink and then suddenly I had to go to the bathroom. I go to the bathroom and come out and finish fixing my drink and getting me something to snack on from having the munchies. I go to sit down and I'm just drinking my kool-aid watching the movie getting my chill on and as I am getting to the bottom of my glass I am looking and I know there is only suppose to be ice in my glass and what do I see? A pair of dentures was in my glass. I screamed so loud and when they heard the scream they knew what happened. Elenor was in the bedroom lying down and she jumped out of bed to see what was wrong. "Reeeecccceee," I yelled he came running out of the kitchen. "You thought it would be funny to put your teeth in my cup?" Everyone in the house started laughing like it was a joke or something and Reece ran out the door. I ran out the door right behind him and chased him down the street. Everybody just thought that was so funny that he would put his dentures in my glass. Before I realized it I had chased him for about a block down the busiest street on the north side.

Meeting Jose
We met Jose, his cousin Devin and his homeboy John by the door of the bookstore and then went in the mall. John wasn't much to look at but he really liked Destiny. Devin couldn't keep his eyes off of me but he kept his composure and acted cordial to Keyana.
Making sure that I had whatever I wanted Jose turned and looked at me and said "I would give you the world if I could, I just don't understand why you don't want to be my woman." I couldn't look at him for a minute. "Why should I be your woman?" I turned and said. "You're all that I want and all that I need and I just want someone like you in my corner." "You don't know me well enough to say you want someone like me, what if I'm not really the one for you?" "Well let me be the one to determine if you're the one for me." I started to laugh and turned and looked at him and said "okay". We continued on with our day as if we had not just had that conversation. That night we went to the concert and enjoyed ourselves. It was a concert to never be forgotten.
I wanted to be with Jose but I just couldn't be with him because I was not ready to totally give up the life I was living. Why should I have one man doing for me when I can have five? Jose was fine as hell. He was tall, light skinned, tight body and hung like a horse. He went to OSU and had money. Everybody thought because his name was Jose he was Mexican but he wasn't he was black. Jose played on the basketball team for OSU, one of their star players. Whenever there was a game he would make sure that me and my cousins name was at the door so we could get in free. We went to all the games.
The more time that Jose and I started spending together, I found out that we had a lot in common, more than any of the other guys I was hanging out with. Jose had these dimples that you just had to love and when he smiled he could make the whole world smile. He was smart and very popular and all the girls wanted a piece of Jose but all he wanted was me and I was pleased to know that. We would talk until wee hours of the morning whether it was in person or on the phone; we enjoyed each other's company. Jose always told me how special I was but he never knew that I had a special gift. A special gift that no one ever knew I had and I was scared to tell people of them because I didn't want people to think that I was crazy.
Jose and I were getting much closer as time passed. I was starting to fall in love with him the same way he had fell in love with me months earlier.

Goin to Oklahoma
I was glad to be in Oklahoma. I was having the time of my life so I thought.
Kicking it with my friends and cousins everyday was a routine thing. If I wasn't with my cousin Keyana, I was with my friend Bellia.
People would always get me and my cousin name's mixed up every time because they were so close together. They called her Ke Ke and me Ken or just a simple hey you and point at which one of us they were talking about. We got a kick out of it because we just thought that it was so odd that we were not blood but our names were so close together. Keyana's dad was Reece's cousin. Even though they were cousins they didn't hang out a whole lot but Keyana and I clicked the first time we were indroduced at the wedding.
Keyana was the only child so she was spoiled as hell. She got all the new gear and then whatever she would replace she would give to me until she found out that I had the gift to gab and could talk a blind man out of his cane and his dog. Every Saturday we would go the the mall just to see who was there. We would never go to the same mall every weekend because they had four malls that you could go to. Every Saturday we would pick which mall we were going to hang out in and see how many numbers we could get. We never had a lot of money when we went to the mall but we always walked out with a bunch of bags. Our parents could never figure out how we could buy so much stuff but they never asked.
February the cold is still in the air, especially for that part of the country, we are headed to the mall to figure out what we are going to wear to the big concert. We know everyone's going to be at this concert because this was one of the biggest concerts of the year. The concert is featuring H-Five, Hi-Town Boys, Young Jodeci and The Mint Condition Band. The concert is Valentine's Day weekend so not only do we have to find an outfit for the concert but we have to make sure that we were cute for the entire weekend. There were six of us going to the concert together so we thought it would be a good idea to go the mall together or at least meet at the mall. Me, Keyana and our other cousin Destiny rode to the mall together. Before we had left for the mall I called a couple of my male friends and told them that I was going to the mall with my cousins and to see if they wanted to meet me there.
I told Rob that I would be at the mall at one o'clock and I told Jose that I would meet him at the mall at six o'clock, that way I would have enough time to do what I needed to do with both of them.
It's time for your discussion questions. Please leave your views they are greatly appreciated.
