Hey, cousin.
SPEAKER_05Hey, cousin. What are you doing today?
GazzaNot a dog on thing. I'm stealing my pajamas.
SPEAKER_05Get dressed. One of my friends is having a housework party today. And I need somebody to go with me. Some gay dress and put some clothes on.
GazzaNo, I don't really want to. My hair's a mess, and you know, I'm still kind of feeling it about you know who.
SPEAKER_04Come on, come on. Put some clothes on. Get your hair done. I'm picking up around six o'clock.
GazzaI couldn't stand my cousin Anthony. He loved dragging me around town. Most of the time I was up for it, but I was feeling kind of in my feelings because of my most recent situationship. And it was with his good friend nonetheless. But hey, he was my favorite after all, so I can never say no to him. I got myself together, put on some tight jeans and a button-up, but I still needed to tame this old weave I had in my head. But hey, that's what berets were for, and I have plenty of them. And now it's time to go hang out with him and get all of the evil eyes I was used to getting from the women who were interested and didn't realize I was just his cousin.
SPEAKER_05Hey, hey, cousin, look at you. Looking all cute and stuff. Got your hair dead, got a nice little outfit on. See, you be worried about nothing. Let's go go have some fun at this party.
GazzaI don't think I'm gonna be having fun at any party. Because again, all you guys down here in the south keep talking about big titties and big asses, and I for one don't have either. It's like I'm a doggone alien down here. The only guys who want me are old pervs.
SPEAKER_05CC. Brad wasn't a perv, and you cut him off for no reason, not the other way around.
GazzaI guess you can say we cut each other off then. Because you only have one chance to stand me up or ignore me. I'm not gonna beg anybody to be with me, even if I'm not the standard Southern man's dream.
SPEAKER_05Oh, that's alright, cousin. See, you still have me. We can be singing together and pimp all the holes in the ATL.
GazzaNow you know I'm down with that. By the time we get to the housewarming, I'm in a better mood. That's all because Anthony knew how to cheer me up with his stupid antics. When we walk in, it's just as I thought, all eyes on me, and everyone questioning Anthony about who I was. Once it was clear that I was just his cousin and he was still a very single and eligible bachelor, everyone got cool with me. I hated women sometimes. There was a good mix of guys and girls there, and there were some couples too. Then one of the guys mentioned that his brother and friend were on the way. A lot of the ladies seemed to be very interested in the arrival of these guys. The conversation shifted to talking about them. It was kind of both positive and negative. That's when I come in. Admittedly, I showed up just for the food. But you'll see, I got a little extra bonus. I met most of the girls there, and they were cool. Then a dude in a sexy little thing walked up. I didn't know them, but I assumed there were a couple. At some point that night, I ended up in the kitchen with her, and I decided to mind my own business, but then she spoke to me. So I heard you make cabinets. How'd you hear that? Well, everyone around here has been pretty chatty, and I heard your brother mention it. It caught my ear because I work for a cabinet company too. That's dope. It's not often you made a female in construction. How'd you know that was my brother? I am very observant. I pay close attention to conversations around me. You'll see I suffer from this little thing called nosiness. Cute. How do you know Sandra? Sandra, the homeowner? I don't know her. My cousin Anthony dragged me here. Oh, the guy you're with? That's your cousin? Yeah, what did you think he was? I didn't think anything. I was just asking. Oh, okay then. I'm going to go find my cousin now. Well, I'm Gaza. What's your name, by the way? I'm Angel. Nice to meet you. It's nice to meet you, too. Fine. I'll admit it. I kind of liked her. It wasn't often that you met a tiny little woman wearing six-inch hills with a white shirt, a striped tie, and a hat. She was sexy as fuck. And I can tell she wasn't even trying. I really liked that shit. Simple. I was glad to learn she was free game. Later on, a few of us, including Angel and her cousin, ended up chatting on the deck. She was mostly quiet but chimed in when she heard my brother mention we were from London. Hey guys, it's me, your favorite mermaid, and I'm sorry to interrupt, but I had to take a moment and talk to you about Natural Nana Co. The sponsor of this here episode. So, who's natural nana? So glad you took the time to ask. They are the producers of the best whipped shea butter on the market. And I stand by that personally. Their shea is imported directly from Ghana and whipped with the highest grade essential oils. The product is just plain amazing and it's safe for all skin types. I mean, it moisturizes these scales of mine. So imagine what it can do for your skin. Okay, all jokes aside, we are proud to be sponsored by Natural Nana because we believe in their products. So go check them out at www.naturalnana co.com. That's www.naturaln-a-n-a-c-o.com and enter the mermaid and the lion at checkout for a special discount. Now back to the show. You guys are from London? I don't hear any accents. Oh, it's that. You just gotta lean in a little bit closer to hear it. Ha, you're a funny one. I'm just saying, people hear my accent all the time. Maybe you're just too far away. I'm saying my hearing is impeccable from where I am, and maybe you just don't have an accent anymore. Oh, I could see this girl was very opinionated. It didn't turn me off though. I wanted to get closer to her to shut that mouth up. We all ended up doing our own thing for a little while, and I found her again later talking with my homie Rob. Rob was on a lounge chair, and she was sitting on an oversized chair, so I made my way to the only available seat. Obviously, the seat that she was sitting in. Okay then. Hello. Hello. I hope you don't mind sharing. This was the best seat in the house. Oh, is that right? Yeah, that's absolutely right. I have to jump in here. I couldn't believe this big old dude just squeezed his six-foot self in my seat. I think he's bigger than six feet. I didn't like people in my personal space. On top of that, he put his arm around me and touched my thigh. If this were any other guy, that ship would not fly. I was shocked that I didn't slap the shit out of him anyway. Then I had to face the truth. I was attracted to him. And I wasn't used to being attracted to someone so soon. I normally have to know you to like you. But for some reason, I found him instantly charming and he captured my undividing attention. Damn, girl, you feel nice and warm. Perfect to hold on to for a winter night. Okay, and what makes you think you would get to hold me any winter night? Well, if you spend a bit more time with me, I think you'll find you'll want me to. What are you guys in here talking about, anyways? Nothing really. Just passing the time. Oh, well, I think you should spend the rest of your time talking with me. Oh, is that right? What do you want to talk about, Gaza? And it better not be about cabinets. Oh no, it's not about cabinets at all. I actually want to ask you a favor. My dumb behind started looking into his eyes, and everything around me disappeared except him. It felt kind of wrong being so caught up in this moment, knowing I was just crying about another guy not too many hours ago. I was scaring myself. But I was smitten. The only thing I could do is try to be sarcastic to save face. Wow. Will I now? So what's the favor? If I give you my card, will you call me? I feel like I should tell you no. You're taking all kind of liberties tonight. But if you give me your card, I will definitely call you. Alright, now don't say you're gonna call me and wait two weeks. No, I will call you tomorrow. Believe me, if I tell you I will call, I will call. Yeah, I like that shit. I didn't really believe that she was gonna call, but that confidence and the way that she was looking at me was fucking me up. I wanted to know more about this girl. Then our trance was broken up by her cousin saying it was time to go.
SPEAKER_05Hey, Angel. Is everything okay in here?
GazzaOh hey. Yeah, everything's all good. I was actually just about to come find you.
SPEAKER_05From the looks of me, from looking over here, it looked like your mouth was about to find his you know what.
GazzaWhat? No, I wouldn't do that.
SPEAKER_05Ah, I'm just joking around. I'm just messing with you. I'm just glad to see that you're back to yourself and feeling social again. But anyway, are you ready to go yet? Because I'm ready to make moves.
GazzaYes, let's go ahead and go. It's nice to meet you, Gaza. I'll talk with you tomorrow. Hey, it was nice to meet you too, Angel. And I look very forward to hearing from you. I wasn't ready to go. I wanted to have meaningful conversation with Gaza alone. Plus, I started to feel guilty because I just ignored the guy Rob, who was only being nice to me. But Gaza entered the room with his all-eyes on me energy, and my femininity just bowed down to him. It was clear that he dated plenty of women, and I was okay with that because I was not looking for anything. Or maybe I was looking for something. But I also felt like I shouldn't be looking for anything because I just broke up with Brad or not broken up with Brad. I was so confused. But I was gonna call tomorrow because I committed to being a woman of my word. And I guess I'll just see what the next day brings. Thank you for listening to episode 4. I've seen an angel.
