I'm in Love with a Church Girl Page #5

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

the Bible says that bad company

corrupts good character.

You really think

this is a wise idea,

still hanging out

with these guys

when they do what they do?

Those are my friends, V.

I mean, those dudes...

they're like my family,

and I can count on them

for anything.

Look, I've been trying

to tell these guys

there's other ways

to make legal money.

I mean, I spent

the last two years of my life

just trying

to wash and shake all that off.

Shake it off, huh?

Look, I'm not

this perfect guy, V,

but I'm trying.

Miles,

that was a mouthful.

To be honest with you, babe,

it almost sounds like

a testimony

of someone who's had their life

turned around by God.

Thank you

for even wanting

to share that with me.

Am I okay with it?

I don't know about all that.

Does it make me

want to pull away from you?

No.

If anything, it...

makes me want to get closer

to you.

Would it be wrong to say

that I'm falling in love

with you?

No, baby,

'cause I'm falling in love

with you, too.

Well, since you just

had the floor, Scarface...

Oh, I'm Scarface now, huh?

Yeah, it's my turn now.

Baby, do you know

what "equally yoked" means?

What do you mean,

like eggs or something?

No, silly.

In the Bible, God refers

to our spirits as equally yoked,

so in order for you and I

to be equally yoked,

it means that we have to feel

the same way

about each other and God

and put Jesus in the center

of this relationship.

Now, do you think

you can do that?

I mean, it sounds

like a whole lot, babe,

but I care about you enough

to give it a try.

Good morning, sunshine.

So it's the big weekend,

eh, Miles?

I hope so.

So these are your events?

Yeah, well, you know,

I got a few partners,

but yeah, for the most part.

Well, we'll say a prayer

for you and your shows tonight.

Thanks, Mr. Leon.

I appreciate it.

Tams, what's going on?

How we looking?

Everything's great.

The groups are checked in

to the hotel.

Sound check's going on

right now.

You got yourself a sellout.

That's what I'm talking about.

Oh! 'my

Gave you my money

Gave you my time

Why you want to hurt me,

girl?

Are you serious?

I'm just curious

Why you want to hurt me,

girl?

Just because

you're not for real

Why you want to hurt me,

girl?

Just because

you're not for real

Why you want to hurt me,

girl?

Never ever had another

Put the pedal to the metal

and burn rubber on me

Charlie,

oh, no

Look at you.

"Yo, I'm Miles Montego.

"Ain't no question.

"What?

Oh, hold up. "

Who that supposed to be?

You.

That is not how I act,

talk, or any of that.

You were amazing today.

Amazing.

Like, honestly,

I was so impressed

with just the way

the whole show came together.

Really?

Yeah.

I'm glad you liked it,

baby.

Loved it.

Well, we should get some rest,

'cause tomorrow's gonna be

a long day.

Yeah.

Where are you going?

Oh, see,

you can lay back down,

see, 'cause, Mr. Montego,

you have the sofa tonight.

Me?

I have the king-size bed.

Love you.

Don't forget to say

your prayers.

Oh, boy.

My God is awesome

He can move mountains

Baby, these are mad hot.

You like those?

Yeah.

What about these?

Oh, I'm into that, too.

You like them?

Yeah, those are really hot.

I'll take them in every color.

Yo, we should take

a little break

and actually

get something to eat.

Yeah?

You hungry?

I know a spot up here.

It's nice.

Key word "break. "

I'm not done.

I'm not done shopping.

Ain't that something?

Miles?

Celine.

Where have you been?

I've been calling and calling.

I just... I been

rippin' and runnin'.

You ready, babe?

Oh, I'm sorry.

V, this is Celine.

Celine, this is Vanessa.

Oh, how do you do?

Fine.

Celine's a old friend of mine.

Really?

Okay, well, babe,

the kids are ready,

and, you know,

the jet is waiting.

Wheels up at 6:
00.

It was nice meeting you.

For real?

Kids waiting?

Wheels up at 6:
00?

Where'd you get all that from?

I watch the E! Channel.

Did you sleep with her?

Yeah.

I shouldn't have even asked.

So why did you?

Women.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Get out the car, homey.

Get out the car!

Don't do it.

Open the door, Jesse!

Get out.

Miles, don't...

Miles, don't do it.

Miles!

Lock the door and get down.

Oh... my!

Come on, punk.

Ya! Yo, yo, ya, ya-

Get up, homey.

What's up, dag?

Get him, Miles!

Back up.

Is there a problem here?

Jesse,

is there a problem here?

Man, just shoot him,

Miles!

Shoot this punk!

Nah, nah, nah.

Ain't nobody gonna get shot

tonight.

What we gonna do is, Jesse,

you gonna get in your car,

and you gonna get out of here.

You hear what I'm saying

to you?

Get in your car

and get out of here!

This ain't over, punk.

See you around, homey.

Let's go, man.

Let's go.

Meet me at the spot,

and make sure

nobody follows y'all.

Baby.

Baby, are you all right?

Are you okay?

Babe!

No, I'm not okay, Miles.

Who were those guys?

Were they trying to kill you?

Look, baby, just relax.

Just relax.

It had nothing to do with me.

Look, I was just trying

to defuse the situation.

That's it.

It had nothing to do

with you.

It was between Martin

and whoever that guy was.

So what am I supposed to do,

babe,huh?

Leave him out there alone?

Let some dude

come blow his head off?

Is that what you telling me?

Don't think so, baby.

So you're just willing

to give up everything

including your own life

for something that had nothing

to do with you?

Yeah.

And they would do the same

for me, baby.

Look, a few years ago,

this whole thing would have

turned out a lot different.

I was just trying to get us

out of there safe, baby.

That's it.

Really?

Would you like to tell me

why there was a gun

in your car?

Babe, it's like I told you.

Whenever I do shows like this,

there's always large amounts

of cash around.

You know that!

You see it!

Look!

What do you want me to do?

Listen, I know this whole

situation and everything,

it's all new for you,

but you got to understand,

babe,

when it comes to protecting you,

my family, my friends,

I'll do anything, babe.

You understand that?

I thought

I was gonna lose you.

Come on, baby.

Really, Miles.

I don't ever want to feel

like that again, ever.

Promise me

I won't ever lose you.

I promise.

I ain't going nowhere.

You understand me?

Give me your hands.

Heavenly Father,

we come before You.

We thank You, Lord,

for getting us through

a hard day of work

but most of all

for protecting us.

Lord, we ask

that You would continue

to show Miles that You are

always there with us.

In Your name we pray.

Amen.

Amen.

Whoo!

Yeah!

Happy birthday, baby.

Smile.

Thank you.

Love it.

But you guys...

you guys really didn't

have to do this.

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

Now, Miles, we got you

a little something.

We hope that

you'll not only use it

but enjoy it as well.

Wow.

I mean, y'all really

don't have to do none of this.

This is too much for me

right now.

Go on, Miles.

Open it.
