    Caught Me Dreaming 2 - Sophia Jenkins

    One

    Shanisha

    Yo, it’s been one hell of a week, man. So much has changed in a short amount of time. I went from being the usual ol’ Sha’quan Long, chef and ladies’ man, working towards my own restaurant, to being some kinda boyfriend with no savings and a whole lot going on. At first, running back into Neeci just seemed like a trip, since I dogged her out a while back, but now I’m in some deep shit. I ain’t never been one to be too serious when it comes to chicks, but for some reason, it got real deep, real fast with her. Now I don’t think there’s any going back. Honestly, I don’t even know if I want to.

    I mean, besides being fine as hell and us having ridiculously good sex, I’m really feeling something for Neeci. The shit is getting close. That ain’t how I get down. I usually keep a couple chicks on standby and keep ‘em at arm’s length. But Neeci crept in on some ninja shit, and it ain’t even been that long. It’s crazy.

    I’m at work, barely paying attention, thinking about everything that’s going on. I’ve been plotting all day, tryna figure out what we’re gonna do. I just emptied my savings to get Neeci a guitar, and now she’s in some kinda weird space with a record company. I don’t know what’s going on, but she didn’t get the deal we were hoping for, so it’s not ideal. Now we gotta figure out what to do next.

    It’s almost time to get off work, so I guess we’re just gonna have to have a little talk about what we’re gonna do. She’s meeting me outside, and she’s got her whip back, so that’s something.

    I finish cleaning up my station and clock out. I say my goodbyes and slide out the front door. Neeci is standing outside leaned up against the car. It looks like she’s texting. Even after all that’s gone down lately, she still manages to look good as hell. She ain’t even really trying, but it’s working overtime. She got on this little v-neck, white tee, tight fitting over her boobs and flat stomach, with some black stretch pants that are definitely doing some stretching. She put on a hoodie on top of it with some J’s on her feet. Plus, her curls are smoothed down on her head. She’s beautiful, almost making me lose my train of thought.

    I walk up to her, and she looks up at me. She smiles, which makes a nigga feel good. She’s happy to see me. The first time she saw me again, she looked at me like I wasn’t shit. It’s a good change.

    I lean in to give her a hug and then say, What’s going on? I see you got yo ride back up and running.

    Yeah, for now. We’ll see how she does. How was yo day at work?

    It was work. I spent most of the day thinking

    Thinking about what?

    Our situation. I’ve been tryna come up with some solutions.

    Did you?

    I got an idea. I know it’s gonna sound crazy, but I think it’ll help us both out.

    Sha’quan you don’t have to figure anything out for me. You’ve already done enough. Imma make a way.

    Nah, for real, I think I got it. I think we should move in together.

    She jerks her head back in surprise. I clearly threw her off with that. Hell, I threw myself off, but I do think it’s a good idea.

    I mean, we tryna help each other out, I continue. We should just do it in the same space. I got a nice lil’ setup.

    In the back of my mind, I’m thinking about what it’ll mean to live with a female, but I mean, it won’t be so bad. Besides, I’m getting a little older and serious and shit. It’s about time I did some big boy shit like this. It’ll really help us both out.

    She’s still just looking at me like I’m crazy.

    After another minute she goes, Sha’quan, you wanna live together? Like, really live together?

    I think it’s a good idea. Then you won’t have to worry as much about yo bills and shit, and we can really help each other.

    But Sha’quan, living together? That’s a big fuckin’ deal, especially since we ain’t even been doing whatever the hell we’re doing for that long. You really tryna take it there?

    Look, we said we was gonna have each other’s backs. What better way to do it than under one roof? I know it’s a lot, but I think it’s our best option. I ain’t gonna try to force you; I’m just saying that’s what I came up with.

    She stares at me for a minute then says, Wow! I can’t even process this shit. You just threw me for a loop. It could be worth a shot, but that’s some serious shit. I ain’t never lived with a dude before.

    I have, I confess, and the shit can get complicated, but it just depends on the situation. We can make it work.

    Well, I’ve been thinking too, and I think Imma try to get on full time at the Coffee Cat, in whatever job they give me.

    Oh yeah? But what about what I said though?

    We can try it. Just to see how it goes.

    Cool. We can go in and talk to Nikki right now about that job. I’m sure she’ll find something for you.

    Okay, let’s see.

    We turn around and walk back into the club. It’s still going a bit, but I immediately spot one of the managers, Nikki, towards the back. We make our way to her, and she and Neeci exchange hellos.

    Ay, Nik, I say after their exchange. Neeci needs something full time. What’d you got for her?

    Oh really? she says. Actually, I have something in the back that she could do. I had to fire Sam, so she can take her job. Neeci, it’s just basically assisting in the kitchen, and for me a bit. Doing odds and ends.

    Hold up, I say. What about Jaymesha? Didn’t she just leave? Can’t Neeci work the register in her place?

    That’s actually not a bad idea. So, Neeci, would you be interested in that?

    Absolutely, Neeci says. I worked at a shop for years; I have experience working a register. Just let me know when I can start.

    "Well, I moved Val over to it out of her hostess spot for the
