His Sweet Thang
Shoshana and Kara are childhood friends. They went to grade school together and college. They both have 3 brothers each, making them the only daughters of their families. They are the sisters they never had. Kara has all boys, but they are all teenagers. Shoshana has all girls. She has 3 teenagers and a five-year-old son named Mateo. Mateo doesn’t like to be at home for school. He keeps asking his mom to take him over all of his girlfriend’s houses to play with them. He misses being around his friends but understands why he can’t go play with them. Kara comes over and Mateo is extremely happy.
(Kara enters the house)
Shoshana:
Hey K! Where are the boys? I thought they were coming over.
Kara:
Hey Shosh! Girl, they got an attitude with me because I told them they couldn’t have their friends over in my house. They called me old fashioned and decided to stay in the house with their dad.
Shoshana:
Dang! It’s been an entire year, I really wanted to see them. What fragrance is that you have on? It is lighting up my entire house, oh my goodness, it smell so good!
Kara:
Oh, it’s that new “Black Girls Rock” perfume by Beverly Bond. Where is Mateo? I’ve been dying to see him. Frank told John they wanted to place him in the second grade. Wow, he is so smart!
Shoshana: (Whispering to Kara)
K, he has been in and out of the kitchen hiding like I don’t notice, like you're a stranger. He is such a little man. We declined to put him ahead at this time. My baby is going to the first grade. Time really does fly by. I am going to get some of that perfume tomorrow!
Kara: (LOL)
Shosh, I know I saw him! I knew that was him. I wasn’t sure if I should have said something to you but when I went to the ladies’ room, I saw Teo in the hallway staring at me. Then, when I called his name, he looked at me and smiled then he ran away like a ghost. He was also doing the same thing when we were in the kitchen, just staring and smiling at me.
Shoshana:
Ok, Mateo, come on in here right now! Explain yourself, please!
(Mateo comes running into the kitchen where Shoshana and Kara are)
Mateo:
Well, I need to speak to Ms. Kara alone. We need some privacy.
Shoshana:
Wait, say what! Absolutely not!
Kara: (picking up Mateo)
What’s going on Teo? You were 4 years old last time I saw you. I missed you! I am so proud of you Mateo. Why were you smiling at me and running away?
Mateo:
I missed you too! You smell so sweet and you look so pretty. I was going to ask you out, but you’ll have to pay. I haven’t been around any pretty girls in a long time since the pandemic. Seeing you makes me feel better. Mom won't let me go see all of my girlfriends. So since I can’t take my mom out I wanted to ask you.
Kara:
Of course we can go out together. l’ll drive, pay, and pick you up.
Mateo:
Great! So you're going to be my sweet thang! I have to run and tell my dad!
(Laughing out loud)
