Chapter Four: A rock and a hard place

"I got to go. Thanks for the tea." Jackie sits the jar on the hood of the car, "so just like that?" Maria stops and turns- "Look, Im sure youre a nice
guy, but I dont think this is going to work... We have NOTHING in common." "Aint that common as cornbread...Like Im polite with home-training, and you aint," Jackie snaps as he walks toward the porch.

Writers note: Jackie....Ooh...No...Not good...

Maria grins with that look...That look like: You got SOME nerve...She throws the keys in the front seat of the car-
"Boy, you got SOME nerve!"..

Told yall...

She walks up to Jackie like he owes rent money- "Look, Mr. Full of yourself- I dont need the attitude, okay? THAT may work on those SIMPLE girls you talk to, but its NEVER going to work on ME...Can you hear me now?!" Jackie looks around like he doesnt know WHO shes talking to...
"Dang right it dont...You too d*mn complicated...Talking to you is like taking a dang test...Dont come up to me telling me how the cow ate the cabbage, you"...Maria interrupts yelling and clinching her eyes shut- "SPEAK. ENGLISH. JACKIE!"

Thank goodness Jackie doesnt live in an uppity neighborhood...

"Aint my fault you aint listen too good...DANG, always talking...Shoot your mouth off like you ate bullets for breakfast."

You know that frustrated "OOOH!" Girls do when theyre p*ssed?

"OOOH!"

Yea...THAT one...

Maria gets in Jackies face, as he keeps walking backward to create space between them... He gets backed up against the side of his house-
"Git." "Git?" Maria says mocking him, trying not to laugh- Jackie repeats, "yea, git...Gone girl"...She mocks him again, moving closer- "Gone?" Shes face to face with him smiling- She lowers her tone: "Speak. English. Jackie"... "Get out my face, Maria," he says trying not to smile. "What if I dont want to?" Jackie moves forward- "Oh, yea?".."Yea"..She says leaning closer...The phone rings again, and Maria answers: "Im leaving now," she says staring Jackie in the eyes- She hangs up and walks toward the car, as Jackie yells out: "W-waitaminute, WHAT?! You aint gone give me your number or nothing? You aint want to go somewere, sometime?" She says nothing, but smiles-
"Im coming for my date!" He calls out..."Riiiggght," she answers and drives off...

Two days later as Maria sits in a coffee house reading...
She hears someone at the counter...
And she knows that speech ANYWERE...

"DANG! Seven dollars for a cup of Joe?...Thats higher than a dr*g sniffing dog!"
He sits down in front of Maria, and sits a cup of coffee next to her- She smiles, closing her book as IF shes annoyed-
"I NEVER said I would go on a date with you"...He sips his coffee, and says: "You aint ever said you WOULDNT"...
