Ermias|

Filming was over for the day and I was trying to catch up with Boog before she left, after our little encounter I needed some extra time with her to finish what we started.

"Boog" I caught her in the parking lot speed walking to her car and digging in her purse for her keys.

"Yeah?"

"Why you in such a rush? I'm tryna kick it wit you"

She chuckled still going through her purse to find her keys not giving me any eye contact and paying me no mind.

"Hold up, lemme get a minute" I rested my hand on hers to make her stop searching aimlessly for her keys " I just want some time wit you"

"Time? you sure you have space in your busy schedule to spend time with me? Or will you be running off to do errands for your babymom-

Boog held up her hand sighing, going back to digging into her purse pulling out her keys.

"Forget I said anything, I will see you tomorrow at nine right?"

" Speak yo mind, say what you gotta say"

"I rather not, you have a goodnight"

I jogged up beside her to keep up with her, Boog stopped in her tracks sighing again.

"Yes Ermias?"

"You just gonna act like we ain't do what we did back there?" Shit wasn't even like me to be running after no woman.

"It was just a moment of entanglement and nothing more"

"What does that shit even mean Boog?"

"It means I just wanted to see if the dick was as good as the last time and it was so thanks for the little taste"

Boog hit the locks to her car leaving me standing there looking dumb, the same way I played her, she had flipped it back on me. Unlike her I knew it was a front and I wasn't willing to back down.

"Can you move?" I stood in front of her car blocking her from pulling off.

"Go on a date with me"

"Move before I run you the fuck over" Boog shouted and honked her horn at me but I wasn't going to budge.

"You wouldn't do no shit like that to the father of your child"

I laughed watching her have a tantrum, she laid her head on the steering wheel.

" What will it take for you to move out of my way"

"Go on a date with me" I smiled rubbing my hands together looking at Boog lift her head up and give me a nod.

"When do you want to do this, so we can get this over with?"

"Right now"

Boog whined and stomped her feet, reaching over into her passenger seat she snatched her purse up and turned off the car.

"Take me to Woody's"

"Nah I'm tryna wine and dine you up like you celebrity women like" She rolled her eyes climbing out her car and locking it up.

"Ya baby wants Woody's so I suggest you take me there or be prepared for my fucking attitude because I don't want to go anyway"

I wanted to impress her now that my bank account was climbing up from sales at Slauson Tees and all she wanted was to get down on some barbeque.

"Just wanted some privacy and to treat you that's all"

"Save your little change up because you gonna need it for my push gift" I was slightly offended she thought I was some broke nigga that needed to save up to provide for her.

"Fuck is a push gift?"

I opened her door to help her into my Benz, she put her purse in her lap letting me close the door.

"It's a gift for women right before they have a baby"

"Aight, what you want?" Boog rolled her eyes " What?"

"I shouldn't have to tell you what I want it takes the excitement out of it"

"Alright well I don't know what you like or nothing like that so that's why I'm asking"

She rolled her eyes again and I could tell she was starting to get an attitude with me, this wasn't the route I wanted to go on this date.

"I forgot I'm having a baby with a stranger"

"It ain't gotta be like that, that's why we doing this so we can get to know each other more before our baby boy gets here" That brought a smile to her face.

"What makes you think it's a boy?"

"My mom said she had the same symptoms as you when she was pregnant with me so I just know you carrying my son"

"If you can show up to future appointments maybe you can see if you are right or not"

Boog was the queen of throwing shots in a subtle ass way, I knew what was going on with Tanisha bothered the fuck out of her.

"Admit it you still mad over the shit from Mani's school"

"Please don't make me lose my fucking appetite because I'm hungry as hell"

"All I'm saying is get it off your chest so you can get over that shit" She poked her tongue at the inside of her cheek before turning her body towards me.

"There is no reason for me to talk about it because we are never going to see eye to eye about it and it will just have us running in circles"

"So if you over it stop taking jabs at me like I'm not trying or haven't apologized"

"How about you pull your head out of your baby mom ass and open your eyes and see she doing this shit to put a wedge between us" I laughed hysterically, Tanisha ain't have that type of power over me, this was just Boog being jealous and shit was cute.

"Oh so that's funny? okay"

"Boog you cute as hell when you jealous and get yo little new South Central accent going"

"See what I mean? why talk about how I feel or what's bothering me if you just gonna sit up here and laugh in my fucking face?"

Her voice shook and I stopped laughing because she was really getting worked up over this and I didn't want to come off as an asshole because even if she didn't believe me I cared about how she felt.

"Boog it really bother you that bad? damn I'm just doing shit to keep things peaceful around Mani"

"Yes it bothers me that bad when you can fix your mouth and tell me off and tell me I'm not family in front of her like I'm nobody, then anytime I get you to myself she pulls you away from me"

"Yeah for my daughter"

"And how many times have you got there and it wasn't nothing to do with her?" I clenched my jaw because Boog had a point and on cue my phone rang off and Tanisha names popped up.

"Boog, I have to answer" I explained myself seeing how upset she was.

"It's none of my business, go ahead"

I pulled into the parking lot of Woody's picking up my phone, Boog snatched up her shit and got out.

"Boog, just give me a minute" I answered the phone " Fuck do you want?"

"Well excuse me, just wanted to know if you wanted to come over to hang with Emani?"

"It's a school night and she should be in bed by now"

"She's about to go to bed I just thought we could-

I hung up my phone not letting Tanisha finish her sentence. Boog had been right all along about her and her feelings about it was valid.

" Can I get extra sauce too?" Boog asked the man behind the counter who smiled and nodded, I got out my wallet to pay for her order.

"I already paid for my stuff"

" We on a date I'm suppose to handle that"

" Use it on Emani, I can pay for my own stuff"

Now I could understand her frustration and I kinda put myself in her shoes and played out how I would feel if she went running for another nigga every time he called even if nothing was going down I would assume something was.

"Here you are young lady"

"Thank you"

I helped Boog take the bags to my car, I took down the top so she could start eating while I ordered my food.

"This is yours" She started pulling food out handing it to me, with her attitude I didn't expect her to order and buy me food " Just because I'm upset doesn't mean I'll be petty like that"

"When I'm wrong I'll admit it and apologize" I paused to stop opening my food " I was wrong about the way I was going about handling Tanisha"

" I get it you have a child to raise with her so you have to answer her calls"

"I have a child with you too and one thing ya'll don't have in common is that I have feelings for you Boog"

She looked down at her food trying not to smile and blush at my statement.

"You just saying that"

"On hood I got feelings for you and I wanna be wit you"

It was all fun with Tanisha back then and I wasn't on no settling down shit with her but Boog was another story and on another level and I was ready to commit to her and be a family with her, Emani and my son.

"How do I know this isn't another act?"

"I wouldn't be putting in all this work looking thirsty as fuck if it was an act and it was never fake shit I said those things to push you away because I wasn't sure to do with how I felt"

"I need you to prove it" I placed my hand around her neck softly.

"Lemme take you home and show you how much I want you"

She smiled putting away her food and putting on her seatbelt fast as hell.

"I thought you was hungry?"

"That food can wait, I got something else for you to eat that's finger licking good"

Boog smirked taking my food from me and putting it back into the bag while I started up my car. We hadn't gotten it all together but I'm sure after I gave her some we would back on track.

"I like that nasty shit"
