I'm in Love with a Church Girl Page #4

Synopsis: Miles Montego (Ja Rule) has it all - cars, boats, good looks, mansion, money, women, but more importantly, he has a past. Miles is a retired high level drug trafficker who is now completely legitimate. Even though Miles has turned over a new leaf, the DEA can't seem to let him out of their sights. Miles' only downfall is that he is extremely loyal to his circle of friends and former colleagues who are not retired from the lucrative business. Struggling to keep on the right side of the law, Miles meets the one girl of his dreams but she's not the usual type of girl that he's used to dating. Vanessa (Adrienne Bailon) is a church girl in every sense of the word. They are tested to their last ounce of faith and strength in God and each other. God continues to chip away at Miles through struggles from his past, having to live up to his reputation, feelings of unworthiness, the death of his mother, federal charges, his friends being indicted, the strain on his relationship with Vanessa, almo

How much I owe you?

Consider it a gift

from me to you.

Okay.

I love gifts.

Oh, look, look,

I got a birthday party

that I'm going to tonight.

You want to go?

A party?

Yeah.

I might be able to,

you know, swing it.

All right.

How does 7:
00 sound?

All right, cool,

and then you can meet my family.

Meet the family?

This is getting serious now,

huh?

Oh, please.

They don't bite.

Sure about that?

Yes.

All right,

I'll see you at 7:00.

Oh, my gosh.

Mad cute, right?

He's gonna meet my parents

Seriously, is someone

gonna get that?

Hold on.

Have mercy!

I got to call you back.

Hi.

Hey, how you doing?

I'm Alyssa.

I'm Miles.

I'm here to pick up

Vanessa.

Figures.

Vanessa,

Mom, have you seen

my phone charger?

Hey, you must be Miles.

Hi, I'm Julissa,

Vanessa's younger sister.

Do all you guys yell

around here?

You're killing me right now.

Yeah, pretty much.

Loud as can be.

Well, it was nice

meeting you.

You too.

Hello, I'm Miguel Leon,

and you are?

How you doing, Mr. Leon?

I'm Miles Montego.

Wow, Miles Montego sounds like

a secret agent name.

Man of mystery.

Well, sorry to disappoint,

but no mystery here.

What you see is what you get.

Honey, this is Miles.

He's here to pick up Vanessa.

On.

You're Miles?

Uh, yeah,

last time I checked.

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Leon.

And what church do you go to,

Miles?

Wow.

Well, um,

I'm kind of looking

for a new church

right now.

On.

And what is it that you do?

Honey,

enough drilling already.

Well, I just want to know

who our daughter's

hanging out with.

All right, well,

I see you've met everyone.

We're gonna head on out,

you guys.

Good night.

Love you, Dad, bye.

Good-bye.

It was nice meeting you.

I want you

to possess my body

What's happening?

Could it really be?

Is it Miles Montego?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What up, baby?

What's happening?

Montego, wait a minute...

I thought you left the country.

You lucky you showed up,

homey.

I was gonna go straight

to your house from here.

You know I wouldn't have

missed that for nothing, man.

Appreciate that.

Fellas, I want y'all to meet

my new lady right here.

This is Vanessa.

Vanessa, that's Chris.

Hi.

That's Wikki, Percy,

and this one right here,

You know, Miles talks about

you guys all the time.

Yo, let's go inside

and get some drinks.

Man, let's do it right.

Come on.

Thank you, baby.

Yeah.

Don't let me see you

around here again!

You all right, baby?

Yeah.

Miles!

Bootz, man, you always

What's going on?

Nothing much, man.

All right.

All right.

What's up, big homey?

Good to see you, man.

Looking sharp.

Abracadabra

Fill me

and possess my soul

Your life is so beautiful

Hey, what's up, Miles?

Hey, Jerry,

Definitely, man.

Congrats to you, Jerry.

Really, man.

Really.

Hey, thanks, Miles.

Oh, Vanessa,

one of the greatest receivers

to ever play the game.

Jerry, this is my girl, Vanessa.

I know who he is.

Pleasure to meet you,

Mr. Rice.

Oh, "Jerry," please,

and it's my pleasure

to meet you.

I want to wish you guys

I don't want you to forget

about those tickets

for that show.

Oh, Jerry, come on,

And, Vanessa,

Pleasure meeting you.

Yo, babe,

Oh, yeah,

Jerry's a good dude...

Babe,

Hey!

How are you?

Ladies, I want y'all to meet

my baby, Vanessa.

Vanessa, this is Nicole,

Jasmine,

Nice to meet you guys.

Hey, yo, what's good, Chico?

Let's have some shots, man.

Ah, not tonight, Marty, man.

I'm driving.

Not tonight?

Man, it's my birthday, homey.

I mean, that's why we all here

celebrating.

I mean, just one shot, man.

All right, maybe later.

Psh, man,

I remember that one time

he was hanging out the window

with guns blazing

like a madman like...

Hey, Vanessa,

you don't even know.

Miles Montego?

You're sitting

with a real legend, Ma.

I seen my man...

Let's go get that shot

on me.

Yeah, yeah.

Supersonic,

cybertronic

All up on it

No need for that

gin and tonic

So, Vanessa,

is everything they say

about Miles true?

About what?

You know.

Oh, wow.

Um, I'm not trying

to keep you girls in suspense,

but I wouldn't know.

You mean you two

haven't slept together yet?

Look, we're just trying

to, you know, take it slow.

That's all.

Nice and slow?

Are we talking about

the same Miles here?

So what,

y'all trying to make me

look like a psycho or something?

She ain't trying

to hear all that, man.

Does she look

like she's impressed?

Do me a favor.

Tone it down.

Tone it down, man.

Just saying, man.

Just saying.

You went out there,

talking all that stuff, man...

I'ma finish his drink.

Wow, that was...

quite an evening.

Babe, I am so sorry.

I thought they'd act way cooler

than that.

You don't have to say

you're sorry.

Everybody has a past.

We all do.

Yeah.

You know you can talk to me

about anything, right, baby?

Yeah.

Look, I got a past, baby.

One I'm not

particularly proud of.

And if you were

to hear about it...

I don't know, I...

I feel like you might not want

to see me no more,

and that kind of scares me,

babe.

Miles, what's the matter?

Look, I know this great

little restaurant.

Great coffee.

Best pie in town.

I mean, if that's all right.

Sure.

Let's go.

What's wrong, Lydia?

Please go to sleep.

Sleep?

How can you sleep

when our daughter's out

with that...

that...

That boy.

He's a boy, Lydia.

Well,

I got a really bad vibe

from that so-called boy,

Miguel.

He doesn't seem her type.

According to you,

she'll never have a type.

Please go to sleep.

Now, promise me

you're gonna have an open mind

and not freak out on me.

I promise.

What'd you think

about my friends tonight?

They looked like gangsters

and drug dealers.

That's because they are, V.

I mean, they're not, like,

Mafia or anything,

but they live that lifestyle,

and to be honest,

I used to live just like them.

In fact,

they all used to work for me.

Work for you?

Doing what?

Here we go.

Thank you.

Folks, let me know if

there's anything else you need.

Yep.

Thank you.

Work for you doing what?

I used to be a drug dealer,

Vanessa,

and those guys you met

tonight,

that was my crew.

I mean, basically,

we was into any and everything.

Wow, Miles, I don't...

I don't even know

what to say.

Look.

I don't talk about it

'cause I'm not proud of it.

I mean, I don't know

how I did it.

I don't even know why I did it.

I just did.

But I can honestly say

I'm a better man

from all of that.

Wow, Miles.

Well,

about your friends, baby,
