Jayd's Legacy (2011)
“—TEENA MARIE When Nigel picks me up, it’s already past ten. Jeremy and I took our time getting out of the car this evening making up, which didn’t give me but an hour to get ready. So, instead of my usual cornrows, I washed my hair and left the conditioner in, pulling my soft waves back into a tight bun at the base of my neck. Wearing my mom’s big, gold bamboo hoops, I hope to draw attention away from my large forehead.
“What’s up, baby girl?” Nigel says, pulling into the long driveway, alo...ngside my mother’s apartment building.
“What’s up, Nigel?” I say, squeezing in between the car door and brick wall, not wanting to scratch up the classic Impala.
“Damn, baby, be careful,” he says, more concerned about the door than me.
“Shut up Nigel,” I say, narrowly making it into my seat. We back out of the driveway and head toward Raheem’s’ house with the music up loud enough for everyone to hear. It feels good being out. I miss the exhilaration of going to the studio late at night.MoreLess
