I'm in Love with a Church Girl Page #2

is considered to be armed

and very, very dangerous.

The way they work

is very tight and efficient,

and they do not like anyone

coming between them

and their money.

To the money, baby!

To the money!

Yo, let me get

another round of those.

Yo, Miles, let me holla at you

right quick, dog.

What's happening?

Yo, man,

check this out, dog.

I know you don't like to hear

this kind of stuff no more...

and I get that dog,

I do...

but your boy Jesse,

he owe me a whole lot of loot,

dog.

He been giving me

the runaround

for, like, the past

two, three weeks, homey.

All right, Marty.

This is the last time.

Like I told you before, man,

I don't want

to hear nothing

about no what, when, why...

none of that, you feel me?

I feel you, boss.

I'm serious about this, man.

Nick.

How you doing?

I'm doing good.

I'm hanging in.

Not as good as you.

You got to learn to leave

some of that cash around

so we can make some.

Aah, stop it, man.

Anyway, look,

it's the Fourth of July weekend,

and I got a real great

group of people coming over.

I got steaks from Argentina.

I got lobsters from Maine.

All I need is for you to come by

and hang out

so I don't feel like

I only know old people.

Sounds good, Nick.

You know what?

I think I'm gonna

take you up on that.

Yeah?

So you gonna come by?

I'll probably shoot over there

in about an hour.

Okay, good.

I'll see you in a bit, then,

okay?

All right, cool.

Okay, good.

'Cause I'm ready to give

right now

And I'm ready for love

right now

Yo, Miles!

My youngest and coolest

friend in the world.

You made it, man.

Yep.

Hey, everybody, I told you

I got cool friends!

This is Miles.

Man, get out of here.

I'm trying to get like you

when I get older.

Old?

Who you calling old?

Yeah,

you putting on a little, man.

I'm putting it on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So who you with?

I'm solo today.

Solo?

Well, just don't let money

run your life, Miles.

Otherwise,

you're gonna end up

like these guys out here.

They look like they doing

all right to me.

I'm serious, Miles.

I'm asking one of these guys

to pass the chips,

and he wants to ask me

what the market closed at

yesterday.

Come on, man.

Get a life.

I used to be the same way,

Miles.

But my career

almost cost me my family,

and it got to the point

where me and Karen...

we didn't know each other

anymore.

She said the only thing

that kept us together

was answered prayers

from her church group,

so I had to commit

to going to church every Sunday

as a family

and one date night a week.

I never figured you

to be a religious guy, Nick.

Well, we really don't like

that word "religious,"

Miles.

It's kind of like

the word "margin call"

in the stock market.

I'd prefer "man of faith. "

All right, guys,

food is ready.

Oh, let's eat.

So can we all gather around

and have a word of prayer

before we eat?

First,

I'd like to thank you all

for coming to our home today.

We are so thankful

and blessed

to have such wonderful people

in our lives

and so happy that you were able

to come over and join...

Honey, could you, um,

get to the prayer?

I mean, this is not the Oscars.

Everybody's starving.

Well, I was just about

to thank my wonderful husband

for putting this all together,

but...

I guess I'll just get

straight to the point.

Dear Father, thank You

for this glorious day.

It's easy to believe in You,

to have faith in You,

when we're blessed

with such beautiful weather,

such delicious food,

but most importantly,

for the friends and family

that we have

joining us

to enjoy this today.

For this and more,

we give You thanks.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Oh, that's Vanessa.

She goes to Bible study

every week with my wife.

Hmm.

Bible study, huh?

Mm, Bible study.

She come over a lot?

Come on.

Miles!

Hey, ladies,

how y'all doing?

I'd like to introduce you

to some of my girlfriends

from Bible study.

This is Shari...

Hey, Miles.

Maylin...

Nice to meet you.

And Sarah.

Pleasure to meet you, Miles.

You as well.

And then there's Vanessa.

Hi, how are you?

How are you?

I'm good.

Miles is a very cool name.

Thank you.

Uh, can I get my hand back

before I call 911?

Rm 50"!

It's cool.

Hey, Dad, watch this!

So how do you know

the Halston family?

You know, Nick's my broker

and my money guy,

so we hang out

from time to time.

So young and into stocks.

So how do you know

Nick and Karen?

We actually all go to

the same church and Bible study.

Okay.

So you go to church

on Sundays, then?

Yes, sir.

Every Sunday.

So, uh, what was

your religion again?

I guess I'm "Christian,"

but, you know,

we don't really

like to call it that.

Right, right.

You like to say "men of faith. "

Or in your case,

it would be "woman of faith. "

Exactly,

so you know exactly

what I'm talking about,

right?

Well, yeah,

doesn't everybody?

What church do you attend?

Oh, well, right now,

I'm kind of in between churches.

Between churches, huh?

Yeah.

In between churches.

All right, well,

what was the name

of the last church

you attended?

I really don't remember,

but I'm sure I could call my mom

and she, you know...

You are so playing with me

right now, Mr. Miles.

All right, you caught me.

But I do go to church

on Easter Sundays with my mom,

and on Christmas, I mean,

if that counts for anything.

Look, I grew up

in a Catholic church,

but, you know, I don't know...

I never really stuck with it.

I think I just didn't

feel comfortable in my church.

Well, you should find a church

you do feel comfortable at

and stick with it.

Wow, I guess we shut

this joint down, didn't we?

We sure did.

So you think

somewhere between school

and saving the world,

you could make a little time

so I could see you again?

Please, Miles,

my life is not that serious.

But yes, I'd love to.

Great.

Hold on.

Give me your phone.

Okay, here we go.

I got a good idea.

How about we not play

the "who can wait the longest

to call who" game?

Yeah, I don't like

that game either.

Okay, I got a better one.

How about we play the

"who can call who first" game?

Ah, see, I'm into that.

I'm into that, too.

Yo, it's definitely time

for me to go.

Yeah.

So, uh, I guess I'll

be talking to you tomorrow?

Soon?

Not if I talk to you first.

Yo, we in San Jose,

not San Francisco.

Yo, you good?

Good morning, Vanessa.

Mmmmm.

See what she talking about...

Good morning, Mr. Miles.

Look, I know

it's a little early,

but, you know, my Sundays start

when the sun comes up.

Just wanted to say

that I really enjoyed

meeting you yesterday,

and hopefully I look forward

to hanging out with you again.

Well, have a blessed day,

Mr. Miles Montego.

By the way, I win the game.

Peace.

Hello?

Well, aren't we

quite the busy bee at 6:00 a. m.?

You're awake?

Ain't no question.

My days usually start

at 5:
00 a. m. anyway, so...

5:
00 a. m.?

What are you?

Like, a baker?

Nah.

You know, I deal a lot
