The Good Man vs The Baller

Instead of watching Sunday football at my house I decided to go to the Ale House to catch a couple quarters of the game. Basketball is my favorite sport to watch, but after seeing all the people crowded around the TVs and high fiving each other after their team made a good play I remembered why I liked football season.

The Bull

I walked out the back of a party downtown anxious to get home. I thought, “I didn’t even know the alley existed. How do I get to the parking garage?” An African American man said, “You lost ‘Slim’?” I said, “Hell yeah, I don’t even know where I’m at?” He said, “You parked under the bridge?” I said, “Yeah, right across from the Amway Arena.” He said, “I’m The Bull by the way.” I said, “I’m Ebony.” The Bull said, “You wearing that dress and that’s my team’s color too.” I ignored his comment because I knew he was expecting me to say, “What team?”

Open Affairs

I feel like back in the day affairs were secrets. People use to engage in their affairs at random hotels on the other side of town. They used secret names and if you accidentally bumped into the person you were having an affair with, you would pass by them like they are a mere stranger.

You Don’t Know My Name?

It had been awhile since I’ve been to a party worthwhile. So when Tee asked me to go out on Thursday night I agreed. She always knows the hottest parties to go to and that night was no exception.

Liar, Liar

One of the bad things about me and dating is I don’t know how to tell people I am not interested after the first date. So I respond to some of their texts in hopes that my one word answers will eventually lead them to the conclusion that I’m not interested. Or sometimes there is that other half of me that wants to keep some of them around for my personal benefits. That is why “Notorious B.I.G” got a “Hey, what’s up you” text from me now and again.

“Notorious B.I.G.”

I’m not looking for “A One”; I’m looking for “The One”! So I figured this person could come in any size. My date with “Notorious B.I.G” happened by accident. I was at a night club called “Dragon Room” when I noticed someone eyeing me from across the room. Now I’ll be honest if he wasn’t in the VIP I wouldn’t even paid him any attention because he wasn’t attractive at all. I looked at him and the lyrics from B.I.G.’s song popped in my head “Fat, black and ugly as ever! However, I stay Coogi down to the socks”. I walked to the restroom that was a few steps away from his table in the VIP.I came out the restroom and pretended to look for something in my clutch. I pulled out my lip gloss and looked up and he motioned me to come towards his direction. He moved his rowdy friends so I could find a place to sit and he grabbed a champagne glass and started to fill it up.
