Cuz I Got It Goin On

I want Doc bad! I know, I know, I was doin so well and
then, BAM! He shows up at the meeting last nite and
reminds me of why I fell so hard for him last semester and
the one before. Well, let me start where I left off.
Damn, so much has happened since last we met and not
happened! I'll just skip over to the first week of
October, so we'll begin where I remember. On Saturday, the
2nd, after I got off work, I scheduled a last minute
meeting for the ladies of the black student group to get a
head start on planning the Black Men's Appreciation
program. I called Mouse who said she'd be there, but when
it was time to leave, she flaked sayin she was goin to the
mall instead. It's fucked up shit like that that bugs me
about Mouse, so I said "typical" and left it alone. For a
moment, I was ready to give up, but after twenty minutes,
people finally started comin in, including Vee and Sassy,
five total. So we came up with whut we wanted to do and
then went shopping for the supplies.
I rode with Sassy, who incidently bumped into us and
decided to help so that was nice, and we caught up on her
love life...somewhut! She has a new beau, but she wouldn't
tell me who the mystery man was and she swears she hasn't
told anyone and won't until he and she agree the time is
right. And she swears I know him so this is bound to be
interesting. In the mean time, she teased me as I talked
on the phone with Bun B, who's stressin out over the exam
that determines whether he walks in the spring, so I try to
remain comforting. After all the shopping, I get home late
and settle in for the nite.

Then Monday, I had an early morn as usual and went to
class. I went to the meeting with Kay and Que, but my
beloved Doc wasn't there this time. Then I was hit with
the idea that we'd be putting on a talent show which was to
take place in two weeks. After that, the black student
group meeting was productive as we still had large numbers
gathered and as we were socializing at the end, Wood, who
happens to be Vee's ex-boyfriend/fling/whut-have-you,
flirted with me again! Now the first occurence happened
the nite we had a forum on the 29th of September and as we
were walkin out together, I said, "See ya later" and he
said, "I hope so." And me being the dork that I am, I
brushed it off as the wind b/c I didn't think he'd be
seriously flirting with me. Thus, he confirmed his
interest Monday nite by pullin me in to hug him. He's
very cute, might I add, but I wasn't sure how Vee would
feel about that, so I playfully kept my distance...not to
say I didn't flirt verbally! I can't help it, it's
second nature to me when speakin to an attracitve guy who
wants me.

After the meeting I went downstairs to watch a play about
Harriet Tubman, who some people claim we hear about all the
time, but they haven't heard the whole story most times, so
I was intrigued. It was cool and Shorty actually showed up
to the meeting, where she said like two words to me. I saw
her later at the play afterwards, but I didn't see her til
I sat in front of her, next to Smiley, her arch-
enemy...I'll explain later. Anyway, I had to leave early
to interview a classmate for a stupid assignment and got
stranded b/c the buses ran too far between, so I had to
walk all the way home in the cold. I called Bun B but he
was busy, so I talked to Sassy and told her about Wood
until I got to my warm apartment. Naturally, I couldn't go
to sleep until talkin to my sweetheart.

Tuesday nite, the continuance of a week of events for the
black student group included a date auction that nite. I
attended, even though I needed to be working on my paper.
Anyway, so I stayed thru the whole thing, wondering if Wood
was goin to be auctioned off (I figured he might), but he
didn't show til after the show. As I was leaving, I passed
him in the hall, but his attention was diverted so all I
got was a wave. But before I had gone for good, I ran into
him outside with his cute friend from the school in the
city near ours, and he gave me the bedroom eyes again. I
couldn't talk b/c I was on the phone with the Cheerful One
by then, so I just told him I'd see him at the other events
of the week. After updating the Cheerful One, I went home
to do a little homework...and now, in retrospect, I'm mad I
had all that damn free time when my ass shoulda been workin
on this damn paper! The irony of hindsight is you always
know whut tha hell u shoulda done AFTER the fact! Sucks.

Wednesday went by busy as usual. Karan and I agreed we
wouldn't go work out so she could eat and we would be able
to attend the Black Women's Appreciation event. It was
very nice as the fellas had rose petals all over the floor
and in our seats. They also escorted us to our seats, read
poetry, served us punch and brownies, and sang poorly, but
all in good fun. Again, no Wood, who I'd warned I wanted
him to appreciate me personally...I know, I'm a mad flirt,
can't help it. Afterwards, the ladies (mainly Vee and I)
got together for last minute primpin to our plan and I had
to run to the store. Nita, Key, and Moe arrived after all
the festivities were over and we all went home. Nita
agreed to go to the store with me later and when I got
home, I recieved a surprising call from yours truly, the
Libra. A poor, sick and coughin Libra asking me if I would
come and take care of him. I thought, this man has got to
be out of his mind. Maybe it's my fault for cooking for
him, but damn it, I hope he don't think I'ma wait on him
now. I said I was attracted to him, but now, I'm startin
to feel otherwise. Anyway, I told him about the events and
invited him to BMA nite in the event that he felt better,
and offered to bring him soup, but I don't think I can
afford to feed him...thas another story. Then, as Nita and
I were doin a little last minute shoppin, Vee calls me with
news that I have a secret admirer but she can't tell me
who. She told me the guy is attractive and that she'd fuck
him and that I know him...naturally, I was guessin it was
Wood she's referring to. I assume she was talkin to him
the whole time b/c she calls back five minutes later sayin
it's in fact Wood and I played dumb (b/c I can!) and acted
surprised. To be continued...
