The Guru Of Love
Couple of years go by . We're in the 8th grade now. Since being dark skinned wasn't in. Good n Plenty and myself stuck to Curly haired boy like glue . He was a chick magnet !!! Fat firls, skinny girls, older girls all wanted a piece of pretty ricky. What he didn't want Good n Plenty and myself were happy to pick up the scraps. It was a perfect marriage he made us popular with the girls we helped him with his home work. We didn't want his ass to get left back again!!! That would ruin our hustle!! So we made sure he kept a B average.
That year our class took a trip to Washington D.C. I had a crush on this girl named Chip Tooth. This trip was my chance to express my undying love for her. SIKE!!!! I just wanted to feel her up on the bus ride to D.C. Anyway when we get there I notice everyone gets off the bus except Chip Tooth and Curly haired boy. So my nosy ass goes back on . I LOOK !!! Curly Haired Boy and Chip Tooth are going at it. He's on top of her, her tongue is in his mouth. I'm fuming!!!!! I wanted to run over and pull his ass off her, but instead I leave quietly. Me being the hater that I am told my teacher they were still on the bus. THATS RIGHT !!! Thats what Curly Haired Boy gets for liking the same girl I liked.
We graduate. I end up going to some prestigous High School and getting myself kicked out, Good n Plenty becomes this big time High School Football and Basketball star , and Curly Haired Boy just fell through the cracks. His family didn't have the money to send him to a Catholic high school so he ended up going to public school. A few years later he drops out and moved to Atlanta with his family. Good n Plenty and myself never heard from him again.
1992 I'm at a house party in money earnin Mt Vernon. Good n Plenty and myself are chilling drinking cervezas. Door bell rings. Our host opens the door and greets these two dudes. One I know from high school the other OOOOOOH SHIIIIIT!!!! I slap Good N Plenty in the back of the head and say " Nigga look!!!!" Good N Plenty looks and says " Hell naw!!! is that Curly Haired Boy !!! I say " Sure looks like him" I walk over to Curly Hair and say " Ya Know. I still haven't forgiven you for sticking your tongue down Chip Tooth's throat" Curly haired looks and his eyes light up " SLIIIIIIISH!!!!! he looks over my shoulder and sees Good n Plenty " PLEEEEENTY!!! I haven't seen you guys since high school. What a small world." I say " So what you been up to man!!! Curly Haired Man " Yooo. I joined the airforce then got myself kicked out !!! I say " How" Curly haired Man " Got mad and shot a gun at some cat so they put me out" Me and Good N Plenty start laughing I say " Your pretty boy ass shot a gun at somebody. Thats classic " Curly Haired Man pulls his wallet out of his back pocket and says "Check this out" He shows us a picture of a baby female version of himself. I say " You have a son?" Good N Plenty starts laughing Curly haired Man responds " Asshole thats my new born daughter, but I do have a son " I respond " DAAAAYUUM nigga you ain't even 25 you got 2 kids already!!!! That must be the puerto rican in you. Curly haired Man responds " How many times I gotta tell you I'M NOT PUERTO RICAN I'M BLACK" I laugh and respond " So you say. Yo mama hiding something!!!! Truth be told Curly Haired Man never new his daddy.
So we're all reconnected now and became The 3 amigos again . Curly Haired Man still has his mojo but that shit came at a price. That nigga got bored with women quick. His second baby mama stayed calling my ass looking for that trifling negro. I rememeber one time Curly was bold enough to have the next chick pick him up from his baby mama's house while he was still living there. He was off the chain. Baby Mama eventually got tired of it and put him out. Yours truly had to help him move NOT ONCE but several times.
Good N Plenty and Myself started to notice when it came to women Curly Haired Man was extreeemly unstable. He'd meet a chick, wife her in less than two weeks even move in . Once he got bored all hell would break loose . He would leave these women broken and confused. Did he care ? NO!!!! did we talk to him about it? NO!!! Shiiiiit we thought it was comedy. Then we hit our thirties and that shit wasn't funny anymore.
Curly Haired Man had met a much younger woman than himself. In less than a month she was pregnant with his third child. He did the usual and moved her into his crib. Now I give him credit he stuck it out for about 2 years. Then he got bored and when Curly Haired Man gets bored with women he can become dismissive, agressive, and just down right rude. He had ole girl in tears daily, calling her fat ( mind you she just had a baby) , he's not sexually attracted to her, she's stupid etc etc etc but Third baby mama loved Curly Haired Man and would not leave him so he moved out and came to live with me.
Every night Third baby mama is callng my apt looking for Curly haired Man, but he was never home. I started to get suspicious because the whole time I assumed he was with her. One night Curly haired Man decides to make an appearance. I say " Yo Curly where you been these past couple of days. Your baby mama been calling here looking for you" Curly haired Man responds " I been hanging out with a friend" I say " What friend and I hope she has titties ? " he starts laughing and responds " I met this chick at work. YO!!!! I'm really feeling her too" Here we go again I respond " Let me guess you've known her two weeks " Curly says" Yeah how you know that?" I respond " I didn't. I know you. Thats your M.O meet a chick, wife her in two weeks, get bored in two months, and bounce" Curly Haired Man " This is different. I'm really feeling this woman. I respond " You said that about Second Baby Mama and Third Baby mama. You haven't even broken up with Third Baby Mama already you talking about getting serious with this woman you just met. Curly you always do this man! You move too fast. Once that new feeling is gone YOU'RE GONE!!!! C mon !! Don't do this ! Curly Haired Man responds " Slish I respect what you're saying and I love you like a brother for keeping it real. BUT!!! I've never felt this strongly about a woman. You don't feel what I feel. Two weeks later Curly Haired Man broke up with Third Baby Mama and moved in with that woman.
Good N Plenty and I were counting the days. We were sure Curly would get bored with his new lady Fina . Months went by, then a year not once did he try and leave or cheat. I noticed a certain calm about Curly too. Don't get me wrong his ass was still moody, but somehow Fina was able to manage Curly's kind of insanity. She was able to do what most of his ex's could not. Fina took the time to study, nurture and helped my boy mature. After a while I embraced this new relationship and encouraged him in any way I could.
2003 The day Finally Came. Curly Proposed to Fina. It was a beautiful wedding. Fina was glowing. I never saw Curly so Happy. He had found the ying to his yang. 2 1/2 years later they added a baby boy to the mix. Curly Haired Man was finally getting the chance to become the kind of father he always wanted to be.
Now Bloggers have you figured out who Curly is. You read the profound comments he leaves on my Blog. Curly Haired Man is Grantlove!!!! His knowledge came from years of ups, downs and child support payments. He wasn't always the Guru of love. Just goes to show you how one woman can a change a man.
Now its my turn ...
