EBONI

D AMN, IT SURE is hot out here. I wish I had a way to get the beach or to a cookout, but I don’t have my car, it broke down, and I won’t have it fixed until tomorrow, but I can’t get it out until next week when I get paid. All of my friends are working on this beautiful day, so no fun time for us today because they going to be too tired when they do get off this evening. Tyrell, I need a favor from you. I need some more money so I can catch the bus to pick up some groceries.

Damn, Eboni, I just gave you money yesterday to go over Sheryl’s house.

Well, that was yesterday. Today is a brand-new day, so are you going to give some more or not? If not, I’ll just call Brittany to come and get me to get the groceries since you want to be an asshole.

I don’t want to hear your nagging today, Eboni, I just wish you would understand that I’m making money to provide for me and you, but you still want to spend money on nonsense shit, and it’s beginning to get ridiculous.

Tyrell, I’m sorry that I make you feel like I’m taking advantage of your money, but it’s not that at all. I’m trying to enjoy my life while I can because you never know when your time is up, am I right or wrong?

Look, baby, I know what you are trying to do, but I don’t work for nothing.

But you’re forgetting I work too. It’s not just you that has a job. I can’t believe you right now. I’m busting my ass wide the fuck open, and so do you, but when I’m broke, needing money or a ride, you change on me. It’s like you don’t be asking me for money and I be kind enough to give it to you like always.

Eboni, it’s not when I get paid I be having other things to do.

Like what, please tell, because the only thing I see that you be getting is weed, nothing else, and paying the bills I do, so basically it’s like you don’t do shit.

Eboni Monae Monroe, why the fuck are you saying shit like that? I love you. I’m not that type of guy anymore. I’ve changed for you, but you’re too damn stupid to see it. I’ve done everything, even going out buying your personal items and high-ass meds you be taking, so therefore, don’t say shit else about me not shit for you.

Rell, look, now that I think about it, you have changed, and I’ll apologize for jumping down your throat about not being good enough for me, but now I’m starting to see how good you are to me, and I love you so much, Rell.

Eboni, come here real quick, I got a surprise for you.

Eboni ran downstairs to find Tyrell wearing an all-white suit with a rose in his hand. She asked, What’s this for? What did I do to deserve this?

Tyrell took Eboni by her hands and put his index finger across her firm lips and told her, "Shh, let me talk. You are the most beautiful woman I know, and when I first looked at you, I knew you were the one for me, and at first I was very skeptical about you until I got to know you, and everything else is history between us, and after all, we’ve been through enough. I don’t want nobody else but you. But I want to know, Eboni Monae Monroe,
