Boondocks Playlist Chapter 1: Feelin It, a boondocks fanfic

Can I be the one?

Its been 7 long years and Hueys on the brink of insanity! He doesnt know what to do with himself, he tried reading, writing, listening to Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech over and over again, but nothing worked. He cant escape the idea that he might be in love! He's been doing every last thing he could think of to force himself to believe he didnt, but every last one managed to backfire. He needs to face the music.
He pulled his iPod out his pocket and ran through the list and and a song popped up that he thought he could try to listen to without the thought coming to mind. 2Much 'Can I Be The One'

He laid on his bed, closed his eyes, pressed play and tried to relax.

His eyes shot open and he changed to Common, no song in particular but he just needed to get away. Thats when he realized...."I, Huey Freeman, am in love with Jazmine Dubois."

I Care For You

Jazmine sat in her room staring at the walls waiting for something to happen, but not a damn thing came. Great. Time for plan A, call Cindy. She leaned over her bedside and pulled her cell from the charger and hit 5. Speed dials came in handy. It rang.

"You have reached the Cindy McPherson hotline, best conversation you will ever have in your lonesome life, you got Cindy." the blond said from the other line.

"Wow Cindy you have no life." Jazmine laughed.

"Hey Jaz, what cha need?" Cindy asked.

"Something to do. I'm bored." She told her best friend.

"Ah, I was actually about to call Cesar to see if we could do something today, of course you and Huey would have to come especially after the last tome we were left alone in the house." Cindy laughed.

"Please don't remind me. The screams were bad enough to hear, but being forced to walk in was horrible and traumatizing. I get chills thinking about it."

"Hey, if you and your boo were playing strip twister you'd end up having..."

"LALALALALALALA!" Jazmine sang off key.

"Sorry." she laughed.

"Okay whatever, jus do what you can to get me out this house." Jazmine pleaded.

"Ai'iight, gimmie a minute, 4 tops and I'll call you back."

"Later hoe."

"Later bitch."

Jazmine hit the end button and then the music button on her phone. Thank god for music phones. She didnt care what song came on, as long as it killed time before Cindy called back.

Just what she needed. Aaliyah "I Care For You." came through the headphones.

Hey my baby
Why you lookin so down?
Seems like you need lovin
Baby you need a girl like me around
Hey my baby

Just when the next song came on Cindy called back.

"Yea?"

"The Woodcrest Mall in an hour." she informed.

"Thanks Cindy. I luv ya babez."

"Who doesnt?" Cindy said.

"See ya in an hour."

Jazmine hopped up and grabbed her pale blue bath robe.

Tempted to Touch

Huey was in his room when his cell rang. He looked at the caller ID 'Cesar'

"Just what I need. What's goin on Cesar?" He answered.

"Nuttin, bout to chill wit Cindy. Get dressed." Cesar told him.

"Why?" Hueys eyebrow rose.

"Why else, your comin too. And when your done run across the street and get Jazmine." he said.

"Fine." Huey sighed.

"We'll be at the mall." he informed.

"Later man."

Without saying bye Cesar just hung up. Huey got up and grabbed his burgundy towel.

20 minutes later.

Huey put his keys in his pocket and headed out the door. He looked into the driveway to see Robert pulling up. The old man got out the car with his cane and looked at his grandson.

"If you goin out my house better be clean." he said.

"Yea, its clean, well my room, your room and the whole house excluding Rileys room." Huey told his grandfather.

"Well I'll just deal with him when I get in the house. Where you goin?"

"The mall with Cesar Cindy and Jazmine. "

"Be back with some food will ya, and maybe a damn job while your at it."

"I will, but the day Riley gets a job, you'll kill over."

"I just might. Here's 60 bucks. Keep the rest to yourself."

"Bye Granddad."

Huey walked across the street and knocked on the door. Sarah answered.

"Oh, Huey hi." she greeted.

"Hey Mrs. Dubois. Is Jazmine home?"

"Oh sure. C'mon in. Jazmine, Huey's here."

Huey entered the house and walked straight to the kitchen. Tom was at the table drinking coffee reading the paper.

"Hey Huey." He greeted.

"Hey Tom."

"Huey." Jazmine said from behind him. He turned around and one of his lungs collapsed.

To all the ladies in the dance
I lose all control when I see you
Standing there in front of me
Your style, your clothes, your hair
You fair woman, you look so sexy
De way you wine and, de way you dance
And de way that you twist and turn your waist
Leaves me wanting, leaves me yearning
Leaves me feelin for a taste

She wore a red half jacket and a white tank top with a pair of black cherries in the corner above the hem. Her black jeans looked form fitting and made her hips spread more than he knew possible, and then her black and red Adidas topped it all off so well, his eyebrow rose. Her hair was in a low side pony tail and hung over her shoulder Then he snapped back to reality.

[Chorus:]
Before the end of the night
I wanna hold you so tight
You know I want you so much
And I'm so tempted to touch
Tempted to touch, tempted to touch
Likkle woman, man I need you so much
Tempted to touch, tempted to touch
Likkle woman, man I'm inside your clutch
Tempted to touch, tempted to touch
Likkle woman, man I need you so much
Tempted to touch, tempted to touch
Likkle woman, man I'm inside your clutch

"Hey Jaz. Ready to go?" he asked.

"Yup. Bye daddy." She said planting a small peck on Tom's cheek.

"Bye sweetie, see ya Huey." Tom said with his eyes still on the paper he was reading.

"See ya Tom. Later Mrs. Dubois."

"Bye Huey, see ya sweetie." Sarah said from the couch.

"Bye mom." Jazmine made for her house key and they were out.

"So were off to the mall?" She asked.

"Yea."

"Okay then. Shall we."

"Sure."

They began walking down the street.

I Don't Wanna/One In A Million

They two-some made their way down the street and Jazmine got tired of the silence.

"So how's you morning been?" She started.

"Same as everyday, cleaning, eating, lounging around, a little bit of exercise then Cesar called. How bout you?" Huey asked.

"Somewhat the same as yours subtract the cleaning and exercise and instead of Cesar calling me I called Cindy cause I was bored to the point of literally staring at my walls." she told him. Huey just nodded. At least he learned to listen after all these years.

Huey kept his eyes straight ahead. If he dared to turn his attention to Jazmine he would be distracted by her (ahem) accessories.

"Try not to. Your killing brain cells that way. Look at Riley. He was in so much trouble all he knew was belt, wall, shower, food, and bed." he told her. She laughed. He didnt really see the humor, so he just shrugged it off.

"So what were you like when you were little?" Jazmine asked out of curiosity.

"Why?" Huey asked. His eyebrow raised.

"C'mon, I told you enough about my life, I wanna hear about yours." she told him.

"It wasnt all that great. My mother took me and Riley to my Aunt Cookies' when I was like 4, never came back, never called, not even a letter to say goodbye or why she left. I never knew my father, my Uncle Lawrence died when I was 7, then I lost my Grandmother that same year to cancer. Right before my 8th birthday, 10 days to be exact. But she was nice enough to leave me a book on martial arts. Then I moved here, the rest is history." He explained slowly. He sounded so sad and angry. Jazmine felt bad.

"Im sorry for asking." she said.

"It's nothing." He brushed.

The walk grew silent again and Jazmine just turned on her music to relax herself a little. 'Who knew he was so sad. Its no wonder why he doesnt open up to anybody.' The first song to come was Aaliyah 'I Don't Wanna'

I don't wanna be...
Be without you, be without you
I don't wanna live...
Live without you, live without you
I don't wanna go...
Go without you, go without you
I don't wanna be alone

[verse 1]
When we hooked up we sat down
Made an agreement, we vowed that
That we'd always be together through whatever
We said that no one would ever get between us
This love would never ever leave us
That was a while ago
But now lately it feels like
I mean I feel like all we do is fight
Every single night
Can't make it tight, can't get it right
I just wanna go back, take it way back
All the way back, can we start again
Do it over, can we straighten it out
Can we work it out, cuz...

I don't wanna be...
Be without you, be without you
I don't wanna live...
Live without you, live without you
I don't wanna go...
Go without you, go without you
I don't wanna be alone

"JAZMINE!" Huey yelled into her ear pulling the ear piece out.

"OW! What?" She yelled back.

"I keep callin you. Watch out for the dog shit." Huey said as he kept walking.

"Huh?" She looked down and saw she almost stepped in, well, dog shit. "Ew."

"Told you." Huey said from in front of her.

After that the walk got real quiet and Jazmine began to think, 'What does he think about when he's quiet?" And without paying no mind to where she was going Jazmine tripped over a deep crack on the sidewalk and collapsed right on Huey who fell face first, but somehow managed to turn himself around and land on his back.

"Damn Jazmine." Huey complained.

Baby you don't know,what you do to me.
Between me and you, I feel a chemistry.
Won't let no one come and take your place.
Cause the love you give can't be replaced.
See no one else love me like you do.
That's why I wanna spend my life with you.
Wanna please you in anyway I can.
Wanna share my world don't you understand.

"Sorry." she apologized. Her Mp3 changed the song on impact to 'One In A Million'

Your love is a one in a million it goes on and on and on
you give me a really good feelin all day long.
Your love is a one in a million it goes on and on and on
you give me a really good feelin all day long.

At that moment they just stared into each others eyes. Jazmines heart began to race and Huey began to tremble slightly.

Turn me inside out make my heart speak.
Don't want no one else you are all I need.
Personality(ty) in everything you do(do)
Makes me love everything bout you.
Your smile your style so fly I can't deny
I got a crush on you and that's true indeed.
I'm diggin you your makin me believe.

Huey snapped back first. Jazmine was still in a daze.

"Do you mind getting up now?" He asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry." she said getting up and dusting herself off. Huey began to dust himself off as well but when he got up they bumped heads.

"Ow." they said in unison.

"Careful." he said rubbing his head.

"Well its not my fault you have a big head." Jazmine said sarcastically.

"I don't have a big head. Its the afro." He stated in an annoyed tone.

"Okay your afro is too big."

Hueys heart stopped. He looked at Jazmine with worried eyes. She said she liked his afro, now its too big?

"Are you serious?" he asked.

"What...oh no, no of course not. You know I like your afro."

'Phew' He breathed mentally.

I'll give you anything you want from me anything you want anything you need
anything your soul desires
I'll give you anything you want from me anything you want anything you need
anything your soul desires

Your love is a one in a million it goes on and on and on
You give me a really good feelin all day long.[fades]
Love it babe.[echo] love it babe. love it babe [repeat]

Huey rolled his eyes, Jazmine just laughed it off and they continued walking.
