I'm in Love with a Church Girl Page #3

with the east coast,

so the time difference

gets me up.

Okay, big shot.

So how about it?

Want to come to church

with me today?

You know what?

I got a gang of stuff

I got to get done by tomorrow,

but I'll definitely take

a rain check on it

if that's all right

with you.

Of course.

Yeah, anytime.

Well, I actually got to run

right now,

but maybe we could talk later?

How about we leave

the maybes out of this

and just get together

after we done doing

what we both got to do?

Not only does he get to flaunt

all that money around town,

but he gets

the pretty girls, too.

Is that a little jealousy

I'm sensing, McDaniel?

Oh, no, it's not jealousy.

When I slap the cuffs

on this guy

and he gets 25 to life

while I'm home

all warm and cozy in my bed,

that's when you'll see

some jealousy.

You live here by yourself?

Well, yeah,

unless there's some roaches

I don't know about.

Miles, this place

is beautiful.

Thanks, babe.

I'm glad you like it.

Like it?

I love it.

So how many bedrooms

does it have?

Uh, last time I checked,

eight.

Eight bedrooms

for one person?

Now, why would you buy a house

with eight bedrooms?

I needed

some extra closet space.

I'm playing.

I'm playing.

You so wrong.

I'm joking.

I'm joking.

Oh, even the kitchen

is sick.

You cook?

I do a little something.

You know, maybe

you come over one night and...

put something together

for you.

Okay.

So this big house,

for one person?

I don't use all this space.

I usually end up sleeping

on the couches half the time.

Yo, I always pass this place,

but I've never actually

eaten here.

Yeah?

I hope you're hungry,

'cause the food here

is amazing.

Oh, my goodness.

No, I know.

You got to get it.

I got to take this one.

I'm sorry.

Yo.

Hey, what's buzzin', cousin?

T, what's going on, man?

What's happening?

I'm just trying to make

a dollar out of 15 cents.

You know.

So, hey, did you fire off

that package?

Oh, yeah, man,

that should be on your desk

by tomorrow morning,

probably around 10:00.

Man, I like your style,

Miles.

So you all locked and loaded

on your end, right?

Oh, yeah, for sure, man.

Everything's set up

just the way we planned it, man.

I got y'all hooked up, man,

so I'll see y'all

in a couple of weeks.

One love, baby.

What do you make of this,

Brian?

You ever hear

of this guy T before?

Can't say that I have.

Where'd the call come from?

Cell phone outside of Ohio.

Could be one of his clients,

maybe even a connection.

That would be my guess.

This is good, right?

Yeah.

Real good.

Do you have to go?

'Cause I would totally

understand.

Oh, no, no, no.

Know what?

Matter of fact, let me

turn this phone off right now

so we can enjoy our dinner.

Don't you dare, Miles.

No, no, it's okay, really.

Yo, it's clearly business.

Like, I would never ask you

to do that.

You know what?

That's dope.

I mean, you know,

a lot of women,

they'd be like, you know,

"You're being rude,"

or, you know,

"Could you turn that off?"

Anyways,

so did the stock market

get you all of this...

the house, the cars,

the jewelry...

or did you, like, run into some

amazing family fortune?

Actually,

I like to keep my hands

in a lot of different things.

You know, right now,

I got a string of shows

that I'm doing right here

in the Bay.

Matter of fact,

I'm doing three shows.

I got one in Frisco,

one in Oakland,

and I'm doing one right here

in San Jose.

Wow, Miles, that's...

that's exciting.

You know, I was thinking,

um...

I don't know...

maybe you might want

to come hang out with me

for a couple of the shows.

You ain't got to go

to all of them, but you know...

Mr. Miles, are you

asking me on another date?

Why, I think I am,

Miss Vanessa.

I'd love that.

Well, then it's a date.

Look, Miles, I really

had a good time tonight.

You know,

I really did, too.

I'm not just saying that!

Me neither.

I had a great time.

Yo, I still cannot believe

you spent all this money

on this big house

to live in it by yourself.

Really?

I don't know.

Well, maybe one day,

I'll find somebody

to, you know, fill it.

I mean, does it really

make a difference

if I get the house first

and then find somebody special

to share it with?

I guess not.

No.

Silver convertible, huh?

Yep.

And?

You want to hear

a funny story?

Sure.

A few weeks ago,

I'm driving,

and I come to this stop sign,

and I look over

at the intersection,

and I see this convertible,

but what really caught my eye

was this...

this beautiful woman

that was driving.

I mean, she had, like,

long, beautiful black hair

kind of like yours.

And she was wearing

these shades...

these really hot shades.

I mean, I was on her.

I felt like

I had to catch her.

So I...

you know, I get in pursuit.

I'm holding up traffic.

I'm bobbing and weaving

in between cars.

Anyway, to make

a long story short,

I get pulled over

by the police,

but you know what really,

really bothered me?

What?

Was that I didn't get a chance

to meet her.

I didn't get a chance

to know who she was.

What kind of car

did you say this was?

Um, hmm.

A silver convertible Sebring.

Oh, my gosh.

What?

Oh, my gosh.

Yo, he's in the store.

The guy you just met?

Yes, he's in the...

Miles?

Where?

Don't say his name so loud.

He's gonna hear you.

Girl, he is so fine.

Ooh, he sure is.

I so hate you right now.

Well, don't just stand there.

Go over there and talk to him.

We all know

he didn't come here

to buy a Jesus bumper sticker

for his Bentley.

Go.

Hey, you.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

You know,

I was in the neighborhood.

Thought I'd stop by

and surprise you.

Well, I am surprised.

I love the spot.

What kind of store is this?

Thank you.

We are a faith-based

product store.

Okay.

So I guess

there's a pretty big market

for this church stuff, huh?

That's right.

Aw, they look really cute

together.

She looks really happy.

Yeah, I know.

Her last boyfriend

was such a jerk.

We have, like,

a bunch of T-shirts

and, you know, books, and CDs

that are Christ-like themed.

Stuff like that.

And these are all

Christian artists?

That's right.

This dude right here

looks like a real rapper.

Come on, Miles.

He is a real rapper.

He just, you know,

raps about the Lord.

Nah, nah, nah.

That's not what I'm saying.

I mean, look, this dude

looks like a gangster,

and the music that was playing

when I came in

made me feel like

I wanted to stage dive.

Yo, you never listened

to Christian music?

Nah.

I mean, well, you know,

my moms used to play,

like, Elvis Presley gospel

albums on Sundays,

but other than that, nah.

Well, yo,

I am about to hook you up

with some really, really hot

Christian music,

hold on a sec.

I'ma get you some CDs.

Okay.

T-bone...

Bone-a-fide.

What you got for me?

All right, so I hooked you up

with some really hot CDs.

Trust me, you have to listen

to this, Miles.

You're really gonna like it.

If you say so.
