BAM! I plopped down some piles of bricks so the boys and I could get started working on the church expansion. It had been a long morning and I needed to relieve some tension. Last night’s date with Destiny had started off great. It had been a minute since I had such a good time in the company of a female and on top of that got some much needed TLC…but damn did things go south from there. She started asking me all these damn questions, what do you do? Where you from? Where you work? Felt like I was being interrogated by the damn police. When I told her what the deal was she completely flipped. I knew what time it was when I saw that disappointed look on her face…the look that said I was no good and was a waste a time.

I had gotten that look from a multitude of people and it burned me to the core. I slammed down the hammer on one of the boards I was replacing in frustration. I was so damn tired of people looking down on me because I wasn’t a fake imitation of who they thought a black man should be. Who cares? I thought. I’m doing what I got to do. My thoughts traveled to Destiny and how beautiful she was and how I wanted her so bad. She was so elegant, proper and different from any girl I ever had…I should have seen this coming. Strays and house cats never co mingle…that’s was my fault for trying.

I slammed my hammer down again trying to force any thoughts of her away from me. I must have startled the fellows because they came over appearing a little worried. “Everything ok Boss?” Clay asked wiping sweat from his face. The boys started calling me boss for some reason; I guess it was because I was the main one telling them what to do. I shook my head. “I’m good y’all…trust me.” “You should be good…” Lil Luther said making his way around swinging his hammer. “Especially when I saw you talking to that fine ass piece across the street from the store…that bitch was bad.” They all started laughing as lil Luther curved his hands in the air to form the shape of Destiny’s body. I shot him a stern look. “You don’t know nothing about that lil boy and watch mouth your on church ground.” Lil Luther covered his mouth. “Ooops sorry God….”

“I saw her too, she was pretty fine. Y’all dating or something?” Clay asked seeming interested. I stood up to get swig of water and sighed. “Grown folks business.” They chuckled. “Awww you got shut down?” Clay asked. I looked at him like he was crazy. “For your information we went out last night.” “Oooooh!” they smiled and goofed around. “Then why you so grumpy this morning? She didn’t give you none?”

Lil Luther asked wanting to know. I couldn’t do nothing but laugh at this little joker…he really thought he was grown.
