She Still Wants You

Is It Love

Joel's POV 

"Yo lui, I love the way you drive mahn, I feel like making a car racing game about your driving skills." Oscar starts mumbling, he is now faded. 

"Am a very good game developer, and animation director. Which one would you love I make for you, a cartoon about you or a game about you? Oh I know I can do both together like the way I did with the game am working on." Oscar continued saying out loud whatever thoughts that come across his mind. Telling everyone that he is a game developer and animation director and that he will make a game or a cartoon for them like it was something simple to do. 

My taxi driver Lemmy is familiar with Oscar. He rides along with Oscar's drunk state. After a couple of minutes we were at Oscar's apartment. 

"Yo, Lala dawg, thanks for the ride mahn. I feel like I was in some blockbuster movie and we were running from the cops." Oscar said as I help him get out of the car. He is so worsted he can't even stand on his own. 

I walk him to the door, using his key to open the door. I take him to his room. There I found Meagan in a deep sleeping. I lay Oscar besides Meagan, telling him to sleep hoping he won't wake her up as he mumbled drunk. "Go to sleep bro, see you tomorrow" I say pulling a blanket over them.

"El my nigga!, you the coolest nigga bro. You are a hard ohn..." Oscar started getting sleepy, he voice started getting low."Hhhhm..., alright my nigga" I chuckle at Oscar's words. "Good night y'all" I said in a low tone as I saw how beautiful they looked when Meagan turned to embrace Oscar in her sleep."Shhh..., Love is a cute and funny thing" I said as I remember how long Oscar and Meagan have been together, since high school. And it all started like a joke.  For a split second I started admiring the relationship life, I unknownly initiate my mind to imagining myself in a relationship, then Lemmy snapped me out of it when he horned the car. I leave Oscar's room starring at the wall of the house.Oscar's apartment looks different now, it looks busy like it is a boarding house for geeks. I hesitantly walk through the living room looking at their portraits.

"Damn this nigga is in love mahn. All of these portraits like his is campaigning for love nd shit." I say to myself after I noticed that nearly all the portraits were captured as a couple. 

"Am coming" I shout out to Lemmy as I was locking the door with Oscar's keys, I'll give him back tomorrow morning. .....

"Pshhh..., love is a mystery aay... Yo do you believe in love?" I let out a sigh turning to Lemmy with a question after some minutes of silence. "Aaah Yes, but not confidently. There are some people who are lucky in life, they get to find love and they're very rare cases. Otherwise love is real, it is just hard to find though..." Lemmy gave his view of love, which made me go quiet for a while thinking about it.

"So what made you ask that question" Lemmy asked noticing my prolonged silence. "I was just thinking about Oscar and his girlfriend." I replied exiting my state of absent minded. "Who, Meagan?" Lemmy asked trying to catch up."Yea the same one I showed you last time, mahn that girl has been down for my bro since day. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that these guys have been dating since high school." I say staring outside the window noticing the ladies that we are passing over on my side.  "That's love, people like Oscar have been fortune to find love in this lifetime. Since high school, that's inspiring. How many years is that now?" Lemmy said sounding so inspired."Aaah, I am not sure 5, 6 years. From somewhere two thousand and nine, its has to be around that time" I reply sounding uncertain, maths wasn't my thing in school."5 years, that's an achievement, some marriages don't last that long?" Lemmy replied after doing the math in his head."I still don't believe that I am the one who brought them together. I remember when I introduced them to each other. Meagan was supposed to help Oscar get over Natalie, I didn't know they would take it this far." I say while reminiscing how it all started for Oscar and Meagan. 

"Love is mysterious bro. It only shows you the next step, it never shows the destination when you take the first step." Lemmy said as he was making a turn into my street.

"Pssh..., so it is kinda like a blind fold walk." I replied out loud my thought. "Yea, you could say that" Lemmy replied"You know bro, love and its blind fold walk s**t is all f****d up. Niggas don't like risking s**t, I wanna know how the s**t will end" I replied from my heart as the I could feel myself slowly lose grip of my strong conscience. 

"Good night bro, see you next time." I said to Lemmy after tipping him. 

I quickly walk to my house, I am pressed I just to pee and sleep. I spend more time than expected on the door, as I mistook Oscar's keys for mine. Upon entering and locking the door, I quickly went to relieved myself and straight to bed.

"Oscar and Meagan have been dating since high school, I wonder how he managed to keep her by his side for so long, when he never liked her at first. Could it be that he found his true love?" Questions pop up in my head as I lay down to sleep. I sleep while thinking about Oscar and Meagan's relationship.
