“I can feel this for sure/ I’ve been here before.”

—TEENA MARIE

When Nigel picks me up, it’s already past ten. Jeremy and I took our time getting out of the car this evening making up, which didn’t give me but an hour to get ready. So, instead of my usual cornrows, I washed my hair and left the conditioner in, pulling my soft waves back into a tight bun at the base of my neck. Wearing my mom’s big, gold bamboo hoops, I hope to draw attention away from my large forehead.

“What’s up, baby girl?” Nigel says, pulling into the long driveway, alongside my mother’s apartment building.

“What’s up, Nigel?” I say, squeezing in between the car door and brick wall, not wanting to scratch up the classic Impala.

“Damn, baby, be careful,” he says, more concerned about the door than me.

“Shut up Nigel,” I say, narrowly making it into my seat. We back out of the driveway and head toward Raheem’s’ house with the music up loud enough for everyone to hear. It feels good being out. I miss the exhilaration of going to the studio late at night. It’s just something about being around good music and peaceful vibes that makes it worth all the drama.

“So, what’s up with your White boy? Did you tell him I’m your baby daddy yet?” he says, making light of my looming dilemma.

“Yes, I told him about us knowing each other from back in the day. But, that’s all he knows.” I still didn’t have the heart to tell Jeremy about tonight’s session or the fact my now friend is my former first love. Why is shit so difficult sometimes? Well, I’m just glad I’m not in my mom’s position with Ras Joe. Their breakup isn’t going well at all. He’s damn near stalking her and I think his woman knows about my mom too. She’s been real secretive about the whole thing. But, I get little insights from overheard cell conversations here and there.

“Damn, Jayd. What’s the big deal? So, he finds out you and Raheem used to date. What’s he going to do? Forbid you from hanging out with us?” he asks, not feeling the least bit threatened.

“No one can forbid me from doing anything, except Mama,” I say. But, I don’t think Jeremy would like me spending so much time with my ex. I would be hella pissed if I found out he was kicking it with Tania, no matter the circumstances. So, I can’t front. If he asks me not to hang with Nigel and Raheem, I’d have to give it some serious thought.

“Now that’s my Jayd,” Nigel says. “I started to think you were becoming a little punk for this fool,” he says, cruising down the crowded avenue.

“I’m not anyone’s punk. At least not anymore,” I say remembering the stupid shit I did in the name of love for Raheem. “But, I will respect my man’s wishes,” I say, making Nigel take his eyes off the road and look at me, not believing what he’s hearing, I guess.
