CHAPTER 9

“We didn’t live too far from here.” Pointing out of the window of the Denny’s, to 31st and Grant, I began giving Blaze instructions to where my parent’s house used to be. “Straight up this street until you get to 21st and Grant, then keep straight until you hit Martin Luther King Dr. After that go straight down until you get to the stop light. Then make a right on Mississippi. We lived in the third house from the corner,” I explained as I took a bite out of my taco.

“Here I thought you were an uptown preppy girl,” Blaze replied, making me shake my head.

“Nuh uh. Why would you think that if King’s my brother?”

Shrugging he grabbed his cup taking a drink. “Shid, I figured y’all had different mommas. You just don’t seem like you from this part of town. Shid, if you was on Mississippi St., y’all were basically in the heart of the hood. Mississippi sit right in the middle of Delaney and Dorie Miller. Hell, Mississippi St. is Dorie Miller.” Nodding my head, I showed my agreement.

He was right, where we used to live was in the cross fire of everything that went on between the rivaling gangs from both sets. Delaney wasn’t that close to where we lived, but the worst part of Dorie Miller was.

Delaney and Dorie Miller were one of the worse projects out there. The gangs from the two projects always found some dumb shit to beef about, and given police hardly came out to deal with crimes, killers, prostitutes, and drug dealers felt they had no rules and did what they wanted. As a result of there being less police, there were more dealers, pimps, and crack heads to have free reign to do as pleased. So the traffic was nonstop. Even though we were up the street from the projects, where we lived was still considered middle class.

Wiping my mouth, I glanced up at him, still nodding my head.

“Yep, it was bad, but it wasn’t.” Grabbing a Tostito chip and dipping it in the salsa, I took a bite then pointed the other half toward Blaze. “And how does someone from these parts of town act exactly?” Taking the chip out of my hand he ate it. Laughing, I rolled my eyes at him.

“You laugh a lot, why is that?” Blaze asked, placing his elbows on the table and staring at me intensely, which had me looking away from him. “I know I ain’t that gotdamn funny. Shid, let me in on what got those garage size dimples in yo cheeks.”

Again, I laughed. “I’m always laughing about something, it’s a disorder,” Blaze started laughing. “So don’t think it’s you even though you’re kind of funny.” Blaze laughed, but his full stare said he wasn’t buying the lie I was telling. His stare caused that giddy feeling to form in the pit of my stomach once again. Looking away from him, I grabbed my ice tea and took a drink, trying to rid myself of that feeling.
