Boogie was walking around, he knew he could have been dead by Neoconda hands & someone hit. He was thinking she could have been the one he could call wife. She had him feeling all kinds of ways.
He didn’t know who to trust because he didn’t know who told her to come for him in the 1st place. Looking behind and over his shoulder was getting old. 44 days after Neoconda, if it was her real name. Boogie jump like the cops was after him. No one saw him in Atl. never again.
Boogie was jumping from one town to the next. Didn’t trust anyone with his real name. He let his beard grown in on his face. It was always nice, as he was playing Gorilla Zoë Lost. He felt like the track. Lost on the road didn’t know which way to go. Going to place to place every two weeks or so. Have sex with different females, but it didn’t feel the same. He really didn’t care for their name as much as he was looking for sexy tattoos on their body.
He saw some sexy tattoo on a girl walking to her SUV. As the tattoo in the middle of her back was different as if the sun was coming or going, the left arm with Indian tribe design cover from her shoulder to her fingers. He stops the car & jumps out, made his way beside her. You know we should talk, he told her. We have nothing to talk about, she replies. Then I’ll just open your door for you, that way I’ll know my lady make it home just fine. And he opens her door after she unlocks it. Thank you, but I have a man. so I couldn’t be your lady. Hood & boujee, I like that, but my lady is better for me to address you, it sounds better than me calling you baby, bitch, ho, you know what I mean. You read Shakespeare, he looks her in her eyes. Then she looks him up & down and said, a brother who tries to use Shakespeare to pick up women. Now that’s funny, next its Spanish. She said as she was sitting down. The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. He said walking away. We know what we are, but not what we may be, she yells softly. The course of true love never did run smooth, he turns and said. Ok, you know some Shakespeare; my name is Jill. He walks back up to her, what about that man of yours. Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none, she said with a smile. I would challenge you to wits, but I see you are unarmed and hell is empty & all his devils are here, he said with a smile. I feel like an idiot, she told him. My name is. He Stop her, my number is right there, he pointed at her seat, when you not with your man call me. She looks at her seat and saw a card with his number on it. And it said, just call me, Shakespeare.
Later, that night he gets a call, its Jill. Kept eating his food and just letting the phone ring. 5 min when by she calls back again. He answers, hello as if he didn’t know it was her. When she was the only person with the number, as he paid for the phone when he made it into town. It's his way of knowing when to get out of town. When the minutes are gone, he leaves and moves to a new town. Hi Mr. Shakespeare. Mrs. Jill, I see you found some time for me, he tried not to laugh, as he knew he was going to use her to lay his head. Do you have time for a movie? he asks her, as he was sitting across from it. Sure, what time? she asks him. You let me know and I’ll be there. This my 1st time in town, but I saw one on highway 200. I’ll call you back with the time. I’ll be waiting for your call.
45 minutes when by, they meet at Hollywood movie theater. She steps out her vehicle with her orange heels, white jeans & orange shirt. After his wash up at the gas station across the street. He had on his blue jeans, he just sitting there waiting for her. When he saw her rocking orange, he took his from the backseat, after moving all the other colors. As she was standing by the glass doors of the movie theater, he checks himself and steps out his car, made his way to her. She was looking the other way, as he walks up behind her. Did you get lost? he asks her. I see you have jokes, you saw me standing waiting for you. He smiles and said, so are you going to do a catwalk supermodel. And he opens the door. so she can walk in. I see my color on you, she said as she walks by him. Did you spy on me, to see what color I was putting on? he asks her. They were joking on each other as the movie played. People wanted them to be quiet. You going to get us kick out, he told her in her ear. Me! she yells out loud. Right then they were told they had to go. I knew it. He looks at her. They talk for hours outside of the car, in front of the movie theater. He was having fun for the first time after 3 years of moving from town to town. So, where at you going to lay your head that? She asks. I’m just going to the super 8, I saw when I came into town, he answers. Noooo, you don’t want to stay there. Ok, where is the best hotel around here? She looks at him, then said, where did you park at? That’s me over there. I’ll wait till you get in, then you need to keep up. Where we going he asks. You don’t trust me she added. You did just get us kick out the movie. She just looks and said, be fast or be last.
In 27minutes they pull up to a pink house, he kept his car running. As she walks up to him. You can sleep on the sofa, she told him. I’m grown man and as you can see I’m too big for a sofa, but I saw we pass by a hotel, on the way here is it good. The bedbug can’t get me. As he looks at her, waiting for her to answers back. I would let you stay in my guest room, but I have all my boxes in there. As I just move in 3 days ago. I’m good my lady, I have fun & you kept my mind free from a lot of stuff that’s in my head. Ok then, she reaches into the window to give him a kiss, as she took the keys out. I have a lot of boxes you can help me move. You know you can go to jail, you have two counts right now. One taking my shit & two for trying to make me your slave. He yells as she walks in her front door. Then he looks himself in the mirror and said, damn I’m good, they going to lock my ass up for this shit. Then step out his ride. Walk in the front door of the house.
My lady! Can I get my keys, you trying to use me to get your man mad? She walks out a room from the back, if you get mad at yourself, I’m getting a check for your ass, she told him as she took the boxes to a different part of the house. I’ll be telling the judge, you had a gun to my head. He said out loud but was thinking he, may have fuck up because his feeling of she’s crazy ran in his head. He picks up some boxes, where to master, he yells at her.
He helps her paint and cleans the house. He did the yard work, weeks when by, his phone minutes never died, because she always calls him on the house phone. He was feeling her like he could start a life with her. But he would let time tell him if it could be so. Turns out, she gets paid for dropping off drugs & she opens a nail shop with the money and paid for the house. 3 months when by and he was like he, this is the one. As he took over the drops for her & she did the nails thing. He got her ring, but didn’t know how to give it to her, because she didn’t know his name, she never asks about it. She never, ask him nothing about why he was there or who he really was.
Day in & day out they did the same thing and that made money. That’s all she had on her mind. With new vehicles in the yard, the house glams up as she would say. Now & then they would go to the movie theater parking lot and just sit there and talk about what they dream of doing. The night he gives the ring, as he said, my lady, I dream of you as my wife for life. Jill, just looks at him, I already told everyone you were my husband. Why you think I was wearing this ring, as she took it off and he puts the new ring on her. They were on their way home as they were sitting at the red light waiting for it to turn green. As the light turn green, they were smiling at each other. They were hit by a semi-truck that was trying to get away from the police. His head hit the driver door window. He was out, as he woke up to red & blue lights around him. He couldn’t make out the words, as he could only see lips moving and no sound of any kind was heard. Then he remembers what was going on, as he looks to Jill to only see her not moving. Babe, babe he put his hand on her face. As he couldn’t do nothing else. They both pinned down as the dashboard was on their thighs.
