Episode 19: The Girl



Ricky rushes into his house. He heads into Shinelle's and Bobby's room. Bobby is still asleep. Shinelle is lazing in bed, still in her pajamas. Ricky tells her about his morning. He was in taking a stroll in the park when he saw... h.. her. He saw THE ONE. This girl wasn't born. This girl was BLOSSOMED. He fell in love immediately. This was the shit Marvin Gaye sang about.


Shinelle is particularly interested. She asks him what she's like. He describes her: She wears a black tee-shirt. She has dark mocha skin and jet black hair fashioned into a ponytail. A serious but nervous look in her eyes, framed by thin spectacles. She was playing chess, he says, by herself. Something about the way she rubbed her palms together while she concentrated enticed Ricky. He couldn't describe it.

"What she name?" Shinelle asks.

Shinelle is then disappointed to learn he didn't even talk to her. "Silly Ricky," she thinks, "Think he all in love again." But she couldn't but wonder, "I wonder what this girl is like... I wonder who this girl could be..."

  1. I love the bit about when sees the girl in the park. Its the little things like that, the unexplainable things, that form the essence of attraction. For me at least. So yeah....i like it cause it reminds me of me. lol.
