I Don't Know

Back to da basics(part two)

We started making out and I enjoyed the feeling of her soft lips on my and her smell was the smell of fresh lavender and berries. The passion we both shared was as if we already knew each other. The moment was so short lived due to the fact we heard a knock on the driver side window, it was Luda. "Oh yea not to interrupt y'all but I just wanted to let you know.. whatever u need don't be afraid to ask", he say before pimping off. "Anything", was the last thing he said before actually leaving this time. I just stared into space for a while once more. I could feel Jasmines gaze on me, "what's wrong", she asked me in her soft soothing voice. "It's just a lot for real... I mean do I deserve any of the things I'm getting right now?", I said with a deep sadness in my voice. "Did u pray about it", she asked placing her hand on my thigh. "What??", I asked her confused as to why she even brought that up in a situation like this. "Well when I was younger my mama used to pray over me and my sisters even when things were going perfectly fine in our lives.. it was a foundation for everything we had back then and who we all are now... u can't forget God is never changing but we change", she said looking me directly into my eyes. For some reason I had another flashback of Marie, her mom was always the type to pray for the both of us.. she viewed me as her own son. "What's wrong", Jazz asked me looking concerned. "I'm good", I lied staring out of the window, the weed was getting waaaaay stronger now. I was starting to get really antsy and shit. "Ok", Jazz said as she put the car in drive and pulled off from the parking lot. Everything that had recently transpired ran through my head so vividly and fast, front the time I got the fame, to the song, to the interview, and to the time I got betrayed by my best friend and my girl. Just as I was in deep thought my phone rung and when I saw it my stomach sunk even more... it was Kendrick. I let it ring about 3 times before I answered nervously, "Hello", I said through the phone. "Yoooo Aman you good?", "Marie and Shawn popped up over here and said that you went missing on them man where u at?", he asked with what seemed like genuine concern. "Look Kendrick first of all I'm sorry I left with no explanation like that man I got something to tell u Marie an-", I was cut off by an all so familiar voice. "BABBBBYYYY IM SO SICK AND WORRIED ABOUT YOU", Marie had yelled in the phone sounding fake excited. She then toned it down a little bit, "I know that the breakup had a rough toll on you but I miss you and I want u to come back soooo bad" , she continued. "I heard u might be in Georgia though... I think before I heard you and your sister might've been talking about traveling to Atlanta so I think we might take a flight out there to see you first thing in the morning", she said. "What friends would we be if we didn't", Shawn now said coming to the phone. I had to keep my cool about this so I replied, "Well is Kendrick at least gonna come.. I haven't seen him in ages." Kendrick then came to the phone, "Maybe not tommorow... I have this charity even I have to attend bro but I'm pretty sure from what I'm hearing you'll have fun with them until come down there", he said before I heard the phone drop and then it hung up. I tried calling back once, then twice, then a third time with no avail. "FUCK!!", I yelled as I threw my phone towards the dashboard almost making Jasmine crash the whip. We were on the highway so it was no way we could pull over but she asked, "DUDE WTF IS WRONG WITH U.. U TRYNA KILL US?!". We finally hit another exit and pulled into the parking lot of this McDonald's. She looked over to me and said. "Look I know we just met today but you can't be having random outburst like that, the fuck are u on dude??!", she asked making me feel like the weird kid in class who got no play. "It's a lot ok?", I said still breathing heavily because of my recent outburst. "You hungry?", she ask as she examined my face. "Huh?", I asked confused. "I said...are u hungry, at least get some fresh air Jesus", she said opening her car door. She got out and the first thing I examined was her thick thighs and her backside and I instantly got mesmerized again. I shook out of my daze and got out of the car next. It hit me like a brick... the cold brisk air and the smell of apple pies and fries. My high was not as intense as before but I was still having a migraine from the intensity of it. The golden McDonald's Arches were illuminating against the cracked up concrete. It reminded me of the times I used to get high with Shawn when he was actually my friend at studio sessions and then we would get the munchies and go get things from the value menu and I would two Big Macs, 20 piece nuggets, large Oreo Mac flurry and a large fry with two apple pies. I opened the door for Marie and I and we waited in line for our order to get taken. We were behind this old lady and who I'm guessing was her grandson and in front of them was this teenage boy finishing his order. The little boy turned around and gasped. "AMAN", he yelled as he came up to hug me, "Can I have your autograph", he asked snatching the receipt from his grandmas hand. I was in shock but I laughed. "Of course you can", I said before I pulled three 20 dollar bills out of my wallet. "One for you", I said handing him one bill, "one for grandma", I said handing her a bill, "and this on is for you to keep", I said before getting me a sharpie out and signing it. "Thank u, Thank u, Thank u", the boy said before coming to give me the tightest hug, "can I get a picture.. grandma here", he said before giving his grandma his phone rapidly. "Sorry", she mouthed me as the boy posed with me for the picture. "No problem", I replied as we both smiled for the picture. "Say cheese!", she said before she snapped some photos of us. "This is the best day ever!", the. Oh exclaimed as he gave me one last hug and returned to his grandma's side. They were next in line to get their food and right before they order I cut in from of them and said to the cashier, "I'll pay for them", I said as I pulled out two s rubber bands of money, "And who ever else comes tonight I got them too.. the extra u can put in ur safe". She looked shocked as if she had seen a lion walk through the door. "Matter of fact where's your manager... I wanna speak to them", I told girl as I was looking at her name tag, "Thanks Imani", I said reading the name tag. She did as I said and no more than 30 seconds later I was face to face with the manager. I pulled out a stack of money and put it on the counter, "this is for u and everyone in the back.. make sure everybody gets their share.. this is exactly 3,000 dollars and with only three employees back there including you every one should get 750 dollars tonight.. thanks for ur hard work and I'll be coming back to check", I said before turning my attention back to Imani. "What's ur Instagram sweetie.. u can add me and u and ur fans can get free tickets to my show whenever I have one",then I turned to the boy and his grandmother,"You too little man, u and ur nana and friends can come as well". I got both of their social medias and turned back over to Jasmine who wasn't there. Where was she? In a panic I looked over to the rest of the lobby and she wasn't there. I ran to the parking lot and her car was still there thank God. I went to look inside and she wasn't in there so she couldn't be too far. I turned around to bump into someone. "What are u doing", Jasmine asked as I backed up away from her. "I was just looking for my wallet", I lied. "Mmhmm", she said not believing me. "To be honest Jazz, im not even feeling McDonalds no more I just wanna rest", I said looking down at the concrete. "Well ok....", she said in response to my words. "You can crash at my place tonight and I'll cook us something", she said as she put her hand on my shoulder comforting me. We both got in the car and as she was starting it up she looked at me and said, "I know u we're looking for me, when u we're signing the little boy's autograph I went to the bathroom because I had been holding it in for so long", she said as we backed out of the parking space. I felt slightly embarrassed for lying. I just looked at the dash and checked my phone again. Kendrick didn't try to return my calls or text me back. I tried calling him another three times but all of the calls went to voicemail. I was waaaaaaaayyyy too high and wayyyyy to nervous for this shit so I shut the phone down and just laid my head back. "U good?", Jazz asked me as we zipped down the streets occasionally seeing a  prostitute on the corner. It was late and that was common in Atlanta, L.A. too. My head was still spinning from the weed and everything was a blur. "So what do u want to eat when we make it to the crib", she asked me. We were still driving down this empty street and then we hit a red light. "I don't know", I responded  even tho I wanted to devour HER. "We'll figure it out when we get there then", she said as we just drove down peach tree street. I must admit I missed Georgia, the east coast in general especially the south was the littest part of America in my opinion. The nice warm air hit my face and it was even better because it had a bit of that southern humidity to it. My head was still pounding like a fuck tho so maybe I should've ordered a lil something to calm down the migraine. "Fuck", I heard Jasmine mutter under her breath. "What", I asked on edge as I quickly turned my head to look at her. "My fucking tank is almost empty... I gotta get some gas and I hate doing it this late at night", she responded. "Well you gon be good u got me in the car", I replied back.  "True.... I'll go but imma make it quick shit makes me nervous", she said as she got into the right lane. To the left of us there was this red car which looked like one of those old school classic cars on the movies and when I looked through the window the windows were tinted but from what I can see the driver was facing forward. We were stuck at a red light and next right would've took us to a gas station literally 30 seconds away. The light turned green and we proceeded to take the turn and pull in to the gas station but the red car did the same. Jasmine parked to the side of one of the pumps and put the car in park, she tried to look for her wallet but I stopped her and said, "I got it ", and proceeded to pull out my wallet and get out of the car. Jasmine smirked at me but at the same time I could tell she appreciated the favor. When I got out I still spotted the car and made sure I didn't alert Jasmine about it. I went to the gas pump and inserted my card into the slot. "Please see gas station attendant", the screen said as I looked in disbelief. I took my card out and backed up to examine which pump we were at...number 5. "Everything ok?", Jasmine asked as she poked her head out of the window. "Yes everything is fine", I replied back, "I just have to go inside to pay..the machine is acting up", I said before returning my wallet back to my pocket. "Matter of fact come in with me I'll get us some snacks and we can watch a movie tonight", I said opening her door but also averting my eyes back to the red car. The car was gone..maybe I was over reacting, maybe it was just a regular guy or girl who wanted to get a snack from the store... or... I had to stop myself.  It had to be the weed talking. We proceed to walk inside and I went scanned the whole gas station but that was pointless because I didn't even know what the guy looked like it could've been anybody, and besides the car is gone so there's really no use. I reassured myself it was no big deal and when Jazz asked me, "Do u want me to get u anything in particular", I just told her, "Get whatever it's on me", while flashing a fake smile. "Okay!", she responded like a little girl and then she proceeded to shop for the goodies that we would be eating tonight. I went up to the counter and asked the cashier, "Can I get 40 on pump 5 please". The cashier looked at me confused and said, "Are you sure sir?", "somebody already put 45 on pump 5 just not too long ago", and when she said that my heart dropped. "Ok thank u", I said as I joined Jasmine to the back of the store where she was in the chip aisle. "You like Takis Aman?", she asked me while grabbing a purple bag off of the shelf. "Sure do", I said. She just grabbed some more things as I helped and paid and then before I knew it we were back outside. I looked back over to the spot the red car was and just like before we walked in the store it wasn't there. When we got back to the pump sure enough the gas was already paid for and ready to be pumped. I pumped the gas into the car and hurried back into the passenger seat. "I'm so tired I'm ready to lay down", I said exhaustedly. "Aye aye captain", Jasmine joked as we started to exit the parking lot. I looked over to the parking space where the car was one more time before we left and figured it must've just been a figment of my imagination.  While we were driving I checked all of the car's mirrors to make sure we weren't being followed but from what I could see we weren't.We drove and drove and drove for seemed like another 30 minutes until I heard Jasmine say "we're here wake up". Wake up? "I was asleep?", I asked Jasmine confused. "Well duh", she replied, "After we left McDonald's you took a nap", she said as we parked and she looked at me. "Did we go to a gas station?", I asked. "Yes Aman.. are u good?",  she asked. "Yea", I responded. To be honest it all felt like a dream. I looked to the backseat to find the snacks we had purchased from the gas station and to my relief I saw them. When we got out of the car I examined the parking lot of that red car. I scanned and I scanned and I didn't see it. "Good", I thought to myself, "we weren't followed". We got the snacks from the backseat and proceeded to go to her her door. She unlocked it and when we walked in the smell of shea butter and cocoa butter hit my nostrils. "Can u take your shoes off on the carpet and u can just put the snacks on the counter on the kitchen", she said as she walked to the back of the house.  I heard the shower water start to run and the bathroom door close. She was taking a shower. I sat on her couch and examined the room I was in. It was somewhat of an artistic room. Wooden coffee table in front of me. In the front of me there was a fire place with a tv above it. There were pictures of what seemed like paintings of black girl silloutes and just artistic vibes, she even had Tupac posters up and the room was lit with candles from bath and body works. I checked my social medias again and I saw that Imani the girl that was working the counter at McDonald's had dmed me about the tickets. I found out later that the little boy's name was Jackson and his grandma's name was Laura, she had been helping him ever since his parents died and they had been struggling a bit but were just trying to get by. I offered them a all exspense paid trip to 3 of my shows and at the shows I would give them some money to help them get on their feet. I found out this was Imani's last year of high school and she needed her college tuition paid so I would handle that. She was trying to major in psychology and I would pay that.. but I would let her know all that at the show. I was trying to bless the way your supposed to. I checked my messages none from Kendrick or nothing. I scrolled down to my sisters messages. I was shocked to see she had sent me a message the day I got kidnapped by Marie but i didn't see it for some reason.. the text read: "Bro come to the hospital Now!!! It's an emergency".  My stomach dropped. Just then I heard the shower water stop and I came back to my senses. Five minutes later Jasmine came from the bathroom lookin all good and moisturized and smelling good too. She had on a tank too with no bra with the boy shorts and the slippers and I almost lost my composure but I didn't. She must've caught me looking because she said , "Pay attention sir... what are u hungry for?", and I wanted to say "You", but I obviously didn't. "What u know how to make", I asked her as I got up and met her in the kitchen. "Anything just take a shot", she said back. "How about some hibachi teriyaki chicken and fried rice", I responded. "I was expecting something hard but it's coming in about 25 minutes... make your self comfortable... you can play the ps5 if u want", she said as she searched through the cabinet for seasonings. "Ps5?", I asked. "Yes a Ps5 Aman, it's under the Tv on top of the fireplace", she said in a sarcastic tone. I looked right above the fireplace and low and behold it was... a ps5. "This your boyfriend's game?",I joked around. I got no response. "It was but he died in a car accident earlier this year", she responded as her voice started to sound sad. "Jazz I'm so sorr- ," I apologized but she interrupted, "Its cool... he was a gang banger anyway so it was bound to happen", she said as she cut up the chicken. "What do u mean",I asked. "Nothing .. we'll talk about it later", she said, "you can either play the game or find us a movie to watch while we eat". "Matter of fact you need to shower, I have some spare clothes in my room... it's the last door to the right", she said as she searched for items in the fridge. I did as she said and went to her room. It was a nice room and it smelled good as I expected. I looked on the bed to see she already had clothes laid out for me which was generous. She had a nice bit of technology too she had the nice Apple Mac book and a smart tv and I could see her Apple Watch on the nightstand. I felt kind of stalkerish but hey I was curious. She had hella clothes in the closet and shoes too. And her theme was pink.. pink pillows, pink silky sheets, pink walls, hell her iPhone and the case was even pink. She had lots of lotions and shea butters everywhere too just organized on the dressers and what not.I went to finally go take a shower in the bathroom. It was pretty clean and neat as expected. I hopped in the shower and of course I had to use her body wash and even tho it would make me smell feminine at least I wouldn't stink. The shower was about 15 mins which was enough to clear my mind and just get it together. When I got out I just dried off as quickly as I could, got dressed and made my way back to the living room. I could see she was just about done and was prepping the plates. "I hope u didn't creep through my room.. don't be stealing", she said jokingly as she brought over my plate which had the  teriyaki chicken, the fried rice, the brocoli, and she had steak and egg rolls on there too. "Daaaaamn u can throw down", I said retrieving the plate from her hand. She put her plate down and went straight to the kitchen again. "You want anything to drink?", she asked. "Yea some water", I replied back. She came back shortly with two bottles of water snd some napkins and she laid under me as we threw down on the food. I think I was just mainly hungry because the headaches from the weed went away. We ended up watching Love and Basketball and just vibed  out and ate. When we were done eating I put the plates in the kitchen and washed the dishes.  Soon after me and Jazz finished watching the movie and when the movie was almost done I could feel her head on my shoulder. She was asleep. I picked her up and carried her to the bed and came backed to the couch so I could go to sleep myself. I couldn't sleep for shit so I just laid there until I opened my eyes and it was the next day...
