Ya. opps. But like I said it ain't historically correct for the most part =) I didn't go do research or nothing so. Did you read my actual story or just my last 3 comments. If you did you should go review it for me in the "Feedback" thread, would be much appreciated. =D

David-What you talking about? I go to support you....& if I happen to get a card so be it.
Melvin-Right, right. *laughs*. So what you been up to?
David-Nothing really. I did meet this one chick though, she’s pretty cool.
Melvin-David, not another fling! Don’t ya wanna go steady with a girl just once in your life?

David-Why I in trouble, didn’t say I liked her!
Melvin- Ah but you do, I know you do!
David-How you know that Blue?
Melvin-Cause your easy to read & you said she wasn’t “just a fling”.

Chapter 9: ~~~~~~~~~~
*Next day, after school; Honey, Daisy & Meagan walking*
Daisy- Well today sure was exciting! *dripping with sarcasm*
Meagan- Oh ya it was....*yawns* what you think Honey?
Honey- Well I don’t care how fascinating anyone’s classes may be, a Mondays a Monday & their just plain boring & uneventful all the time! However....I do believe this weekend was eventful, exciting dare I say huh girls?! *Laughs teasingly*
Daisy-For you, if your referring to that colored boy who’s as infatuated with you as you are with him! Then yes, I’d say it was eventful.
Meagan-Ya Honey.
Honey-I am not infatuated with him & I’m sure he could care less about me, besides; his brother wants me put 6 feet under!
Meagan-His brother wants us all 6 feet under, that’s got nothing to do with anything though!
Honey-Your both so dramatic!
Daisy-And your not? Come on, you LOVE him!!
*David walks up behind them*
David-Love who?
*All 3 girls jump startled & turn to face David*
Honey-*Smacks him with the sweater she was carrying* Don’t do that!! You scared me to death!!
David-Well obviously not, your still standing & breathing quiet heavily might I add. *smiles*
Honey-*Frustrated sigh* That’s cause you scared me!
David-Sorry ‘bout that.
*Daisy &Meagan giggle at the two of them*
David-Now, who ya love?
Honey-Ohh, you think your so smart don’t you?
David-Well yes ma’am I do but I don’t see what that has to do with anything. *Smirks*
Daisy- Honey, me & Megs gonna head off. See ya later! *both run off*
David-Look we even have privacy now, so tell me!
Honey-Fine, I love my family! Now excuse me, I really must be on my way home. *Starts to walk off*
David-*runs up to her* Let me walk you home then!
Honey-Alright, if you insist.
David-I do. So, who ya love besides you family?
Honey-My friends.
David-And?
Honey-No one else.
David-Yes you do!
Honey-You just love to push things don’t you?
David-Sometimes, but I’ll back off. Just for you. *Smiles*
Honey-Well that’s nice of you. And for your information they were saying I love you. What with you following me around like this I’m not surprised they got that idea into their heads!
David-Hey they didn’t say I love you, they said you love me so they must’ve been referring to you running into me all the time & not me “following” you!
Honey-Uh, I don’t run into you, we run into each other! And you must follow me, I mean you were right behind me & my girls not 2 minutes ago; you came out of no where!!
David-Oh that, well....
Honey-Ha, ain’t so cocky now are ya? I was right, you follow me!
David-I just wanted to talk to ya is all.
Honey-Your intentions really that pure huh?
David-Course they are! Where do you get off questioning me after I returned your purse yesterday & had to deal with your snotty mother?!
Honey-My mother is not snotty, &...how dare you say that! I’ll have you know she is a VERY kind women & she & I & my father were great full for you returning my purse! And she was not being snotty, she was just cranky because of the heat!
David-Sorry, no need to be so defensive. *Raises hands in surrender*
Honey-No need to be defensive? You insulted my mother! You....you....
David-What?
Honey-You judgmental....stalker!
David-Judgmental stalker? Well you’re a spoiled, pain in the ass brat! *Arrives at her porch*
Honey-Excuse me?! Uh, your unbelievable you know that? First you lay on the charm then you....unleash this beastly behavior! All I was trying to do was thank you for returning my purse & defending my mother!
David-And you love me!

Honey-Oh, & to add to your cockiness you’re a smart ass now! An arrogant smart ass!
David-Such language & name calling from a young lady, how un-proper. *smirks*
Honey-Good day Mr.Ruffin! *Slams door in his face*
JD-Honey, why’d you slam the door?
Honey-*Startled* I’m sorry papa, you startled me!
JD-Didn’t mean to, now why’d you slam the door?
Honey-I....there was a bee. *Said as innocently as possible*

[davidruffinlover]

Chapter 10: ~~~~~~~~~~
*Tuesday morning before school, in Honeys bedroom*
DD-*Knocks softly on door & enters* Honey, why aren’t you out of bed yet?
Honey-Oh mama I don’t feel very well!
DD-*Leans over & feels forehead* Well you are warm, what hurts?
Honey-My stomach, & I have a headache....
DD-Well I suppose you can stay home. Your father of course works today & I do have a community charity meeting to attend this evening & errands to run all day. Do you think you can handle being home sick by yourself?
Honey-I’m sure I can, I think I just need to rest. Thanks mama.
DD-Sure sweetie. Your father should be home by 6 & I’ll be home around 8 after my meeting. *Kisses her forehead & leaves*
Honey-That was easy! *laughs* I haven’t pretended to be sick since grade school.
*Later that afternoon, 3 o-clock to be precise. Schools out, Honeys still at home in her night gown just relaxing*
*Honeys doorbell rings*
Honey-*Answers door* Hello....oh it’s you. *Starts closing door, David pulls it open*
David-Ya me. Heard you were sick.
Honey-Oh really, who told you that?
David-Um Daisy & Meagan.
Honey-Course they did. *David stares at her* What are you staring at?!
David-Um, you, your...*looks her up & down* um.
Honey-*looks at herself* Oh my God! *Runs into her house & grabs her bathrobe to cover herself, left front door open so David looks in*
David-Aren’t you gonna invite me in?
Honey-No!!
David-Fine. *Walks in on his own & closes the door behind him*
Honey-Just what do you think you are doing? *finishes tying her robe* Are you insane? Get out!
David-To answer all 3 of your questions. First of all I think all I’m doing is checking up on you to see how sick you are. Second, no I’m not insane. Third of all, well “Get out!” is a command really not a question, but I don’t do to well with being ordered around so no, I won’t get out. *Steps closer to her*
Honey-*Gasps* Touch me & I swear I’ll scream so loud every cop in town will be here in seconds!
David-Damn girl, wasn’t gonna touch ya! Don’t flatter yourself....
Honey-Oh, sorry.
David-Nice place.
Honey-Thanks.
David-*Sits in a plush chair in the sitting room* So how sick are ya?
Honey-Oh very, in fact I could be contagious; you should go.
David-Trying to get rid of me huh, well I don’t scare to easy....plus I have a strong immune system. *Both laugh*
Honey-I’m not sick at all, I was just so tired this morning, I felt more tired then I have in a long time; I think you exhausted me yesterday.
David-Ah well I’m sorry about that. I shouldn’t have said that about your mother. I’m sure it was the heat that got to her so I take that “snotty” comment back.
Honey-Good then I take back the “judgmental stalker” & “arrogant smart ass” comments. Now take back what you said to me, you know the “ spoiled, pain in the ass brat” one & we’ll call it an even trade. *Smiles*
David-*Smile back* Can’t do that, can’t take back the truth.
Honey-*Jaw drops* The truth? So you think I am a spoiled pain in the ass brat?!
David- I said it didn’t I? I ain’t one of those people that say what they don’t mean, usually anyways.
Honey-You know you were this close *makes small space between her fingers* to redeeming yourself in my eyes but you just threw that out!
David-And why should I care what you think of me? *Stands up & walks over to her amused*
Honey-Because....*he moves closer to her* because....*David’s standing a mere 6 inches from her face*
David-Because why?
Honey-Because*said slightly breathless, realizes how close he is & panics & pushes him away* Get away from me, why do you have to be so close to me?! *Moves & sits on the couch*
David-Sorry, I’m a close kinda guy.
Honey-I noticed! And I’m a spoiled pain in the ass brat!!
David-Yes, but I never said that was a bad thing, as a matter of fact; that could be what draws me to you.
Honey-So now your drawn to me? Pssh, that’s original. Your brother teach you that line?!
David-Wasn’t a line. This is though, wanna come to a concert with me on Saturday?
Honey-Your good, fantastic even.
David-No seriously.
Honey-No I know your serious, I am too. I’m impressed even that you have the gall to ask me on a date! I must say I underestimated your determination....*laughs*
David-What’s so funny?
Honey-*laughing still* Your are, first we run into each other constantly, then we flirt shamelessly yet harmlessly, then we insult each other, then you barge into my house looking me up & down in my night gown, & now your asking me out on a date!! *Burst into more laughter*
David-*Stares at her slightly puzzled yet amused, sits next to her on the couch as she’s laughing; clears throat* Are you ok?
Honey-*Stops laughing abruptly* I’m fine, just fine....I really do think you should leave now.
David-*Stares a moment* Alright, I’ll go. *Stands up & goes & opens door & steps onto porch, she follows*
Honey-Thank you for stopping by to check on me, it was sweet of you.
David-Oh so now I’m sweet? *Both laugh* But, I’m not leaving this porch till you answer my question. Will you or will you not go out with me?
Honey-No, I won’t.
David-Why not?
Honey-Because I don’t want to!
David-Denying your desires is very bad for your health young lady.
Honey-Is that right? And since when is dating you a desire of mine?
David-Since ya first saw me.
Honey-Love at first sight thing huh? No, I don’t think so.
David-Why won’t you go out with me, & don’t give me that you don’t want to crap cause I don’t buy it.
Honey-*Sighs* I just can’t, we can’t. And I think your very aware as to why.
David-Color....tell me, do you always do what your told, what’s expected of you? Do you every do anything you wanna do? You know, for fun.
Honey-Well I skipped school today for fun. And yes, I do do what I’m told. What’s wrong with that?
David-Nothing, nothing. I just thought you were more....rebellious, free.
Honey-I can be, but I’m still not going to go out with you! *Heads back inside the door as he walks down the porch steps, then sticks her head back out the door* Wait!! *David turns & looks back* Saturday what time?!
David-*Smiles* Eight, meet me at the front of your school! *Runs off*
*Honey walks back inside. Later that evening, at 8 after her ma & pa are home; at the dinner table*
DD-So Honey, are you feeling better? You look slightly flushed.
Honey-Ya, yes. I’m alright. I feel better, I’ll be fine for school tomorrow I’‘m sure.
JD-Good, glad to hear it. Besides, you need your education. *Smiles at her*
Honey-Yes sir. *Continues eating dinner* Um, what did you two think of the boy that returned my purse at church on Sunday?
JD-He seemed like a nice boy.
DD-Yes, a nice boy. For a colored anyway.
Honey-Mama, don’t say that.
DD-Well he is.
JD-Why do you ask Honey?
Honey-I was just wondering is all. He....walked me home from school yesterday.
DD-Well it better not happen again, we can’t have that now can we?
JD-All he did was walk her home Diane.
DD-And you think it’s as innocent as that? No, no. Them types always have other intentions.
Honey-Them types? Mother you don’t really believe what everyone says about them do you?!
DD-I have no reason not to believe.
Honey-Father tell her she’s wrong!
JD-Alright, this conversations to heated for a dinner table; so lets just end it there.
Honey-*Looks down at her plate* Yes papa....may I be excused? I should rest up if I’m going to be well enough for school tomorrow.
JD-Go ahead. *Smiles*

*Same night, Melvin’s house*
David-*Runs into the house* Melvin! Melvin I gotta talk to ya!

Otis-Nice to meet you, heard a lot about you!
David-Ya, ya me too. Heard Melvin’s part of your singing group now. Sure you guys don’t need an extra member.
Otis-*Laughs* Ya, sorry man we full.
Melvin-David! Explain yourself, you can’t just rush in here unannounced yelling “I need to talk to ya” then say nothing!!
David-Sure I can, I do it all the time. *Smirks* Though I am surprised Momma Rose didn’t say anything.
Melvin-She ain’t home, otherwise the first words outta your mouth would have been “Let me explain!”. *All 3 laugh*
David-Ha, your right there. Anyways, came to tell ya I got a date for Saturday!
Melvin-So you gave up on Ms. Daniels quickly.
David-Naw man, she is my date! She said yes, well sorta....
Otis-Sorta? How does that work? And what do you mean Ms. Daniels?
Melvin-He means the Ms. Honey Daniels O! He got a date with her to our concert Saturday! But wait, what do you mean by she sorta said yes?
David-Well, I kinda invited myself into her house, insulted her & ticked her off a bit, was leaving & she said “No” to me, flat out NO! Then as I was walking off her porch she asked me what time Saturday & so I have a date!
*Otis & Blue laughing hysterically*
David-What?
Melvin-That is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard! Man if you don’t got a date don’t go make up some crazy story, just tell us; we’ll find ya a girl.
Otis-Your as crazy as Blue said man! *Both O & Blue laugh more*
David-I ain’t kiddin’ she’s coming I swear it!
Melvin-Prove it!
David-How I suppose to do that, you’ll just have to see her with me at the concert?!
Melvin-Nope, I want proof before Saturday night. Anything in anyway you can think of, I just want proof before Saturday....you know; to prove your not insane. *Laughs*
David- Oh it’s gonna be like that huh? What happened to being all so trusting Blue?
Melvin-I am trusting, just not gullible!
Otis-You gotta admit man, not only is she Honey Daniels!! She’s white, how many interracial couples you see round here in Detroit?!
Melvin-No worries Ruff, if you really got a date with her; proving it to us should be easy right?
David-Whatever you say man, though I shouldn’t have to prove anything to you! In fact, I really don’t care whether you two believe me or not. If she wants to meet you two, fine I’ll introduce you, if it makes no difference to her it’ll make no difference to me. *Gets up to leave, walks to door, about to walk out as Momma Rose is coming in*
MR-David! *Said startled*
David-Hey Momma Rose *kisses her cheek* Bye Momma Rose! *Runs off*
MR-*Enters house & stares at Melvin & Otis* What was that?
Melvin-Uh....*Both Otis & Melvin just shrug*

[Coey]

OH My Goodness. I aint readin all Dat!.. wheew!

[davidruffinlover]

Hey ya'll. Lol, it's not like your supposed to read it all in one night!! I mean you can but ya. =) I feel like I'm writting a freakin' novel, but I don't mind cause it's just for fun & I sure as heck ain't making money off it.

[lightdion]

Part II of "Aint To Proud To Beg" (Short intermission from DRL's wonderful novel )

.....While Otis and his fellow Tempts. were worrying their heads off about David ruining thier reputations of being a "Singing and Show group", David was truly "Busy". A friend of his invited him to a sock-hop he was throwing and David was the "Guest of Honor". His friend knew that David could throw down a mean version of "Shout" all by himself and with him singing at the party, he knew he could make tons more money that way.
David's plans were abruptly intervened when earlier, Otis called him, hysterically yelling that they were ordered by Berry to perform "Aint To Proud" instead of "Get Ready" at the Apollo and they had to come up with a quick routine by tonight. He went on about how they would look like idiots onstage if they just snap their fingers and so on. To David, Otis was overreacting as usual and handled him well."Look O, we aint gonna look like no idiots cause were gonna figure out a routine by tomorrow. Just relax and enjoy the fruits, I'll be over there later man, guaranteed." After hanging up with Otis, he quickly added "I'll be over there later- after the party." He smirked. He knew he would just have to leave a few hours early, it was no big deal. Besides, he was the lead singer and while Paul, O, Corn, and Blue did thier routine, he could just toss in a couple of mic spins and all eyes would be on him. It was clearly another reason why the group should be named "David Ruffin and the Temptations", another thing he would have to work on with his fellow groupmates..........
......Later on that evening, David made the party-goers go wild as he arrived in his signature Limozine. It continued when he entered the ballroom and his audience really went buck wild when he sung his own soulful versions of "I heard it through the Grapvine", "Shout", and a solo version of "It's Growing".
As usual David had succeeded in stealing the show with little effort and his friend succeeded with getting the crowdful of people needed to make his pocketbook a success.
Overwhelmed by his show-stopping performance, he needed to take a break from the crowd, so he snuck into the back where there were very few people intergrating and ordered a glass of Alize after he sat down on a small couch. He fought off the urge to take in some "Nose Candy" for the moment because he knew when he went to practice, he didn't want any knid of bull from the group- especially Otis, prying into HIS personal business. After two rounds of the Alize, he really began to relax and everything that concerned him, seemed to vanish. He began to scan the crowds of people for what he called "Ruffin's Lucky Lady". David was determined to make himself a VIP section and was gonna pick a lucky lady to come and sit with him in his section. There a combination of all types of beatiful women in the crowd in all different colors, sizes, and shapes. He knew there would never be a problem with him finding a lady knowing that if he made the announcement out loud, they women would come to him in flocks- even some gentlemen . It took a few minutes, but he spotted a pretty candidate. He could tell that she was very shy by looking at her sitting alone holding a drink and nodding her head to the "Smokey Robinson and the Miracles" record. He knew he could bring out that wild side to her if she just a few minutes with him. "Hey there foxy, foxy mama" He called out to her. "Shy girl" looked up. "You talking to me"? she asked in a southern accent. "I'm looking at ya, aint I ?" he questioned. "Come sit next to me" "Shy girl hesitated but, quickly came over and sat a good distance form David on the couch. "I won't bite" David insisted. "Shy girl" smiled and hung down her head. "Shy girl" reminded David of his Distant Lover Honey Daniels who he really wanted to see, but he decided to push the thought away for the moment. "You do know who Iam don't ya"? he asked, letting his ego sit in. "How could I not?" shy girl asked. "You're none other than David Ruffin of the Temptations". "Damn straight!" David declared. So I assume that you are a big fan of me- I mean the Temptations. "Of course". Shy girl said. "I just moved here to Detroit from Tennessee just to get closer to you- and that sweet, sweet Eddie Kendricks." She winked at him. David cleared his throat. Shy girl wasn't so shy after all. "You never told me your mame. "It's Betty" she replied. "So Betty, you don't think I'm sweet too?" David asked. "Oh yeah, especially when you're out there singing" Betty informed him. "But you wanna know somethin'"? she leaned in closer to David. "I prefer tough, hard men like you seem to be". she winked again. "Man this girl is far from being shy. You're slipping Ruff" he thought to himself. "But I aint never really tried them bold types and I think I will!" From there on, time passed by as he and Betty had a couple of drinks and flrited back and forth. He was really having a good time untill.........1:00 A.M magically appeared as David checked his watch- the second time he had checked his watch since 9:00 P.M.. "Aw hell"!!! he exclaimed. "What?!" Betty alarmingly asked. "Man I told O, I was gonna be at his house hours ago and we gotta perform at Apollo tomorrow." "Now I know I'm gonna hear some bull from both ends and out!" "Man, I've gotta go". He bolted up from the couch toward the door in the now near empty room. "David, wait" he heard Betty's voice and turned around. "Could I come with you? Please?" she begged. "I-I just don't want this night to end.". David smiled. He had caught himself another starstruck "Ruffin Lucky Lady". "Well...... okay." He agreed. "But you've gotta behave- until later."
The two bolted out of the ballroom, into the Limo and into the empty streets of Detroit, to a a place where David knew he was gonna have to navigate himself out of a BIG situation............

Davids Story
Chapter 12: ~~~~~~~~~~
*Still that same night, Honey in her bedroom on the phone with Daisy*
Honey-You told him I was sick!!
Daisy-Well you are aren’t ya?
Honey-No, no I’m not & You know that cause I was perfectly fine yesterday!
Daisy-Well sorry, he seemed generally concerned when he asked me & Megs after school where you were. Besides, I didn’t think you’d mind him dropping by.
Honey-Well I did, do mind! I answered the door in my night gown & his eyes certainly roamed! Then he basically invites himself in & insults me some & aggravates me to no end & then he!....
Daisy-And then he what? What he do?!
Honey-Nothing, never mind.
Daisy-Honey Allison Daniels spit it out!!
Honey-He asked me out! *smacks self in head for saying it*
Daisy-*Squeals over phone* He did not?! Oh my God what’d you say?!
Honey-I said no, flat out no!
Daisy-Uh-huh....
Honey-And then I changed my mind....
Daisy-So you got a date with a colored?!
Honey-He’s name is David & it’s not a date,....it’s a late night outing.
Daisy-You can try & use any amount of logic you want to try & explain it away, but it’s a date.
Honey-I....
Daisy-It’s a date! Date, date, date, date!!!!
Honey-Fine! It’s a date. Now drop it & never tell him were I am again because I felt so utterly exposed when I opened that door!!....well actually it was after I realized that he was staring but still, I never need an incident like that again!
Daisy-Fine, Megs & I will keep our mouths shut. So, have you told your beloved parents of this “date” your going on?
Honey-No. My mother doesn’t approve of him at all because he’s “colored”.
Daisy-You didn’t really expect her to approve of him did you? What exactly did she say?
Honey-She said “He’s a nice boy, for a colored”. She infuriates me beyond belief with that garbage! He has a different color skin tone, who cares? What if I go lay out in the sun for a while & get really tan....is she gonna disown me cause my skin color changed?!
Daisy-See, your as dramatic as me & Meagan are! *laughs* She has a point though Honey, I mean look at his brother...you know the things people say about colored’s; what if it’s all true? What will you do then?
Honey- I refuse to believe all colored’s are slobs, wife abusers, drunks, thieves, etc. It’s impossible for them to be all like that, besides, David’s NOTHING like his brother!!
Daisy-Ummm....
Honey-Ok their both infuriating! That’s were their similarities end though. Besides even Jimmy isn’t a drunk, thief, all that other stuff!
Daisy-How do you know that? You’ve known them both for a what a total of 5 days, a week?! They could be what everyone thinks they are, they just moved here Honey!!
Honey-Well if David ends up being like that do you really think I’ll let him near me ever again? Do you think I’m that stupid?!


Daisy-No but you are naive & have a crush on the guy!
Honey-It’s not a crush....we’re just going on one date, & I am not naive! You know what, I’m tired, can we just end this please?
Daisy-Alright, I’ll let you go. Me & Megs will talk to you tomorrow. Bye. *hangs up*

[davidruffinlover]

Chapter 13: ~~~~~~~~~~
*Later that week, Friday afternoon after school, girls just walking around town*
Meagan-So Honey, you excited for tomorrow? *giggles*
Daisy-Oh that’s right, someone has her first date don’t they?!
Honey-It’s an outing & I’m more scared, nervous really....
Meagan-Well don’t be, after all he asked you out & you..& ourselves, are the most adored girls in town!
Honey-Don’t know about that, I mean....*runs into someone & falls back, girls bend down over her & so does the person she ran into*
David Van Wyke(DVW)-Honey, Honey are you ok? *Honey stares up at him blankly*
Honey-David?
DVW-*Smiles* Ya, it’s me. I’m so sorry, I wasn’t watching where I was going; are you alright?*Puts his hand on her back to ease her up*
Honey-I’m fine, it’s my fault I’m such a klutz. *Stands up*
DVW-Here let me help you. *tries to help her regain her composer*
Honey-I’m FINE David *lets out deep breath* I’m fine, please just go & let us be on our way.
DVW-Alright...you know I was thinking, we could get together sometime....
Honey-Uh-huh..*preparing to walk away with the girls* .
DVW-Like this weekend, tonight, tomorrow night?! *David(Ruffin) walks up onto the scene but stops & listens before making an appearance*
Honey-Hmm, *walks closer to him & stands her ground* Sorry David, I don’t date out of my species! *He gawks at her, she smiles* Excuse me, I must be on my way. *Walks off on her own*.
Daisy-I’m sure she didn’t mean it Mr. Van Wyke!
Meagan-Surely she couldn’t have, she must’ve just had a bad day at school!
Daisy-Or is not feeling well or something to that extent!
Meagan-Please forgive her! She meant nothing by it.
DVW-I’m sure ladies, excuse me. *Walks off*
Meagan & Daisy-*Deep sigh of relief, then David(Ruffin) walks up to them*
David-Meagan, Daisy; hello *smiles*
Daisy-Nope, no way. We have to keep our mouths shut!
Meagan-Honey said we’re not to say a word to you & to keep our mouths shut cause last time we talked to you, you charged into her home & undressed her with your eyes! *puts hand over her mouth, shocked by what she said* Oh my, don’t tell her I said that!
David-*Gives small laugh*
Daisy-What is it you want?
David-Was that who I thought it was?
Daisy-The mayors son, David Van Wyke? Yes it was. Devastatingly handsome, charming, smart, sophisticated, great dancer, a wealthy white man that is everything Honeys parents could want for her. Why do you ask?
David-I see. And what does she want & approve of? Clearly not him, someone that is....oh how do you say; out of her species?! *smirks*
Meagan-*laughs*
Daisy-*Glares at Meagan so she stops laughing* Mr. Ruffin, perhaps David Van Wyke is out of her species, but you are out of her color. *Walks away with Meagan right behind her*
*David walks away from the scene himself & decides to walk around the town aimlessly. Meanwhile in a malt shop Honey sits at a window booth drowning her concerns in a sarsparilla. David(Ruffin) walks by & see’s her through the window, enters & sits at her booth opposite from her.*
David-Hey
*Honey looks up from her drink, startled*
Honey-David!
David-Sorry, did I scare ya?
Honey-You startled me is more what you did. *Begins twiddling her hands*
David-So you ready for a good time tomorrow night?
Honey-Tomorrow night! Yes, um I’m ready. I....can’t wait. *Her hands twiddling faster, David takes notice & reaches out to her hands, taking one in his*
David-You know it’s not proper to fidget at the table? *Gives her a smile*
Honey-*Looks at her hand in is* I’m, just frustrated is all. I ran into someone I don’t favor much & then there’s tomorrow night. I told my parents I was spending the night at Meagan’s house to study, which is obviously a lie & I don’t lie! I don’t like to do it & I’m not good at it &.....*sighs frustrated*
David-Hey, I’m flattered you lied for me *smirks, both laugh & smile* Look at that, I can make ya smile.
Honey-*Blushes* Well, it was a one time thing.
David-So, that person you ran into that you don’t favor much.....was he out of your species? *Mischievous grin spreading across his lips*
Honey-Yes & ....you eavesdropped on me?
David-No, I....overheard your run in.
Honey-Liar, but your lucky that conversation you “overheard” was of no importance to me.
David-Daisy & Meagan found it rather important, I’m afraid you might’ve humiliated them in front of “Prince Charming” a.k.a. the mayors son David Van Wyke...Prick, whichever. *laughs*
Honey-He’s a pompous, egotistical jerk that thinks he’s Gods gift to women & is perfect in every way! I loathe him....
David-Wow, guess I’m lucky you love me then! *Honey raises an eyebrow at him & playfully throws her cherry from her drink at him, both laugh*
Honey-You are so annoying!
David-*laughs* Well it’s an improvement from “judgmental stalker”.
Honey-Hey I took that back! Besides, the truth is you are annoying & uh, how did you put it? Oh yes I remember “Can’t take back the truth”.
David-Well, at least I know you listen to me. *smiles, she then notices her hand still in his & pulls it away*
Honey-I should be going. *Gets up*
David-Can I walk ya home?
Honey-I would let you but my parents wouldn’t approve....I told them you walked me home once before & it didn’t sit well with my mother; I’m sorry.
David-*Gets up* I understand, don’t worry about it. * Looks hurt/disappointed & begins to walk out, Honey catches up to him outside the shop*
Honey-*Takes his hand in hers while walking beside him* On the other hand, who said I have to go home right now? I simply said I should go. *Smiles up at him & he smiles back*
David-Alright....so you remember when we first met last week & the cop came over & asked if me & my brother were bothering you?
Honey-Yes.
David-Well you said that we just moved here & wanted directions to the theater, how’d you know we just moved here?
Honey-I didn’t. I just made it up. I hoped it’d convince him & he’d be on his way. So you really just moved here?
David-Yes ma’am.
Honey-Where you from?
David-Down by Merridean, Whynot Mississippi to be exact.
Honey-From down south? Wow, all the way to here...Detroit, Michigan. Why’d you come here?
David-Well it wasn’t my choice, but I wasn’t gonna complain. This is the hometown of Motown Records after all.
Honey-Ah, music fan are ya?
David-For sure. Smokey Robinson, The Cadillacs, The Chantells, etc. I love music. I’ve been in church choirs since forever. In fact, I’m gonna join the church choir here....least I hope to if I get the time. I’m trying to get me a record deal.
Honey-That’s very ambitious of you, I admire that. But you gonna have a lot of competition, there are tons of music groups & solo artist trying to make it; especially with Motown Records!
David-Don’t I know it! My cousin Melvin just joined another singing group called Otis Williams & the Distant’s. He’s already recorded but keeps switching groups. The concert we’re going to tomorrow night, he & his new group gonna be performing.
Honey-How exciting! Your cousin, Melvin, must be good if he’s recorded before.
David-He is, he is an amazing bass! What kinda music you listen too?
Honey-Well, I’m not supposed to listen to “colored” music but it’s pretty inevitable. Besides, I rather favor it myself. However I love all music. Swing, jazz, classical, rock & roll, etc. You know when you asked me what I do for fun?
David-I remember.
Honey-Well I love to dance, go out dancing. That’s the only reason I love being invited to big parties & balls & what not. I love dancing, gliding across the floor in elegant gowns. All my thoughts just kind of drift away....it’s like I’m flying. *Smiles dreamily up at him, then looks away* I’m a stupid women, I’m sorry. I’m sure you didn’t want to hear that.
David-On the contrary. I’m glad you told me....we can dance up a storm tomorrow night! *Both laugh* Look where we’ve ended up. *Stop outside Honeys house*
Honey-So much for not walking me home. Thank you though, I’ll see you tomorrow night.
David-Can’t wait....*kisses her hand & walks away. Honey walks into her home in a daze*

Apology: Mt next chapter is going to be in set in April 1960 at the St. Stephen Community Center. But wait, didn't I say my story started in 1958?....I did. So you'll have to ignore that & say I made it start in the year of 1960 in order for the scene in this following chapter to be correct. Please except my apology! My story is trying to follow the events of the movie as accurately as possibe....date wise. =) Read on & enjoy!!

Davids Story
Chapter 14 : ~~~~~~~~~~
*Saturday afternoon, 4 o-clock. Honeys house, in her bedroom with Daisy & Meagan*
Meagan-Ok so let me get this straight. You told your parents you were spending the night at my house to do some studying & go out with me & Daisy correct?
Honey-*Frantically rummaging through her closet* Yep.
Meagan-So me & Daisy are gonna go to a movie & hang out while your where ever doing whatever with David?
Honey*Still looking through her clothes* Yes, & I don’t know where I’m going with David except that it’s to some concert so don’t even make a reference to other “activities”!
Meagan-Wasn’t going to. So, me & Daisy will be done with the movie & hanging out by 11-11:30ish & we’ll meet you back outside of our school & be back home by my curfew....midnight.
Honey-That’s the plan....
Meagan- And it better go off without a hitch or my parents will kill me! There pretty lenient in general but not with my curfew!
Daisy- Well everything should go according to plan if Ms. Daniels her doesn’t extend her time limit with her BLACK prince charming!! *laughs*
Honey-You don’t have to emphasize his skin color....I’m quiet aware of it. *Stuffing her clothes in her suitcase* There, done!
Daisy-Your not planning on wearing that on your “date” are you? *Nods at the outfit Honeys in, which is what she wore to school(a simple yellow sun dress).
Meagan-Ya Honey....it is your first date.
Honey-I know that! I just totally forgot my wardrobe....*begins rummaging through her closet again*
Daisy-You should wear something sexy! *Laughs*
Honey-Ha, right! Because I own something like that*states sarcastically*, I don’t know what I’m going to wear....or how to do my hair....I don’t know anything! *Is overcome in a state of panic* What, what if he doesn’t dance how I do? What if we go out to dinner before or after the concert? What if...he wants to kiss me?! Oh my God!!
Meagan-Calm down! *holds her by the arms* Breath! Get your head together.
Honey-*Breathing deeply & heavily* Calm down, right.
Daisy-First of all, no kissing on a first date. Least not for someone like you....
Honey-Someone like me?
Daisy-Yes, a little miss goody goody who has morals & no sense of rebellion; unlike myself *smirks*
Meagan-Ignore her....
Daisy-Second of all, whatever you do; like Megs warned, don’t cross your time limit with him. Third of all, you’ll look great....especially with me & Megs advice so you have no worries.
Honey-*Rolls her eyes* I do too have a sense of rebellion, I am dating out of my color! And you do have morals like I do & you know it. And you didn’t answer my dancing question *Laughs ,looks through closet again & finds a simple yet elegant ruby red satin dress....it was one of her party dresses, easy to dance in. She decided it would be perfect.* This is the one....*lays it out on her bed*
Meagan-It’s gorgeous! Isn’t that the one you wore to last years All Hallows Eve Ball?
Honey-It is, a favorite of mine. Easy to dance in too.
Daisy-And doesn’t make you look like an already settled down women *giggles*
Honey-Shut up Daisy! *Goes to the bathroom to change, calls from behind the door* Could one of you kindly get out my red shoes that match....the ones with the straps on the sides?!
Meagan-Got ‘em. *Sets them out for her, Honey finishes changing & comes out*
Honey-Do I look ok? *asks nervously*
Daisy-Ok?! You’ll knock him off his feet girl!
Honey-*Laughs* Hope not, I’ve done that to him enough...
Daisy-Ah but this time you’ll knock him off his feet in a good way. Now what to do with this incredibly luxurious hair you were blessed with & that me & Megs envy?! *giggles from Daisy & Meagan*
Honey- Well I was thinking I could curl it & just pin the sides back to the middle with that diamond clasp I got for Christmas....what do you guys think?
Meagan-Magnificent darling! *In mock French accent, girls laugh & do her hair. Later, 7:30; girls are leaving*
JD-Goodnight dear, have fun ladies.
DD-Honey, aren’t you a little over done for the movies?
Honey-Oh, um after the movie Meagan’s parents are having some sort of dinner party so when me & the girls return we are to join them if it’s not to late & I wanted to look appropriate...
DD-Oh, in that case your look stunning.
JD-That you do Honey *smiles*
Honey-Thanks. Night daddy, momma. *Kisses them on the cheeks & leaves with Daisy & Meagan* Well, that was close!
Daisy-But we made it. *Takes Honeys suitcase* Alright, me & Megs are going to go drop your stuff off & then go to a movie. You....go meet your date! *Smiles*
Meagan-You ready?
Honey-Ready as I’ll ever be. See you guys later! *Runs off to go meet David in front of her school. Arrives & he’s waiting on one of the benches, rises when he see’s her approaching*
David-*Walks up to her*You....
Honey-I what? Do I look alright? Is it appropriate for the concert? *Talking fast & nervous*
David-You look absolutely stunning is what I was trying to say. *Gives a smile*
Honey-Oh, thank you. I wasn’t sure if it was suitable....*smiles back* And you, by the way don’t look to bad yourself! *Smiles. David’s in black dress pants with red dress shirt under a black sports jacket....in other words hott as usual*
David-Well, you look great & I know I look good so shall we? *Both laugh, he politely extends his arm for her to take which she does & they head on their way to the concert*

[davidruffinlover]

Chapter 15: ~~~~~~~~~~
*David & Honey enter the St. Stephen Community Center. Most the crowd(& the performers) are black in color*
Honey-*Swallows nervously, David notices*
David-It’s probably different then what your used to but just keep an open mind. You’ll have a good time, I promise. *Smiles at her, she smile back; though unsure of his statement*
Honey-I’ll take your word for it...
*Melvin shouts to his cousin across the room, him & his group approach David & his date*
Melvin-Ruff! *Walks up to him with Otis, Al, Richard & Peewee*
David-Hey Blue! Otis, fellas.
Melvin-Oh this is Al, Richard & Peewee. Guys, this is David &....his lovely date! Ms. Honey Daniels I presume?! *Kisses her hand*
Honey-*Blushes a little* Nice to meet you gentlemen. *Nods politely to ‘em*
Otis-Man David I didn’t think you were telling the truth!
Melvin-*Shoots a glare at Otis*
Honey-You didn’t think he was telling the truth about what? Otis, was it?
Otis-Yes ma’am. And we didn’t believe him when he told us he was bringing you, Ms. Honey Daniels! *Smiles excitedly*
Honey-I see....*looks up at David* brag worthy am I David? *Gives him a questioning look*
David-Well uh, brag worthy you are. I mean you are the most beautiful women in the room! *Hoping his compliment would cover him, lucky for him it did & Honey forgot the subject*
Richard-Wow, it’s a pleasure to meet you Ms. Honey Daniels! A real pleasure!
Honey-You too, Richard! *Smiles*
David-*Whispers in Honeys ear* They love ya. *She smiles up at him*
Announcer- Otis Williams & the Distant’s!! *Group heads up on stage to do their song “Come On”. Crowd dances & cheers*
Honey-They sound great! *Dancing with David*
David-Ya they do!
*Their song ends & they walk off stage & into the crowd over to David & Honey*
Announcer-The Primes & The Primettes!! *Group walks onstage & begins their song, “Stay”*
Melvin-Their good! *Richard hits him in the arm*
Richard-Shut up!
Otis-They alright. *Melvin ignore them & continues to bob his head to the song, as the songs ending Melvin notices Berry Gordy leaving*
Melvin-*To Otis* There goes Berry Gordy!
Otis-Lets go! *Both follow him*
Honey-Berry Gordy, as in Motowns Berry Gordy?
David-That’s right.
*Eddie, Paul, Diane, Flo, & Mary walk off stage & make their way over to Al, Richard, Peewee, David & Honey*
Eddie-Well, I do believe we topped ya’lls performance!
*Josephine walks up*
Josephine-Ya’ll did not top their performance....you we’re just as good as they were! *Turns to Richard* Have you seen Otis?
Al-He & Blue went to hunt down Berry Gordy.
Josephine-Course they did....*looks to David & Honey* And who are you two?
Peewee-Jo, this is Melvin’s cousin David & his date Honey Daniels!
Jo-Nice to meet you two*shakes their hands* Honey Daniels?!
Honey-Yes.
Paul-The Honey Daniels?! *David watches amused*
Honey-Yes. I’m sorry, you guys were great but I didn’t catch your names.
Al-We had a little run in earlier!
Paul-I’m Paul Williams & this is Eddie Kendricks. *Nods to the girls* And these ladies are*nods to each as he spouts off their names* Diane Ross, Florence Ballered & Mary Wilson.
Honey-Nice to meet you all!
Paul-Likewise *shakes David’s hand* And it’s a pleasure to meet you too, David was it?
David-David, David Ruffin. How did ya’ll run into each other earlier?
Eddie-Oh it’s been buried & forgotten. Just a little misunderstanding....*looks to Al* David Ruffin....haven’t you recorded before? With your brother Jimmy?
Honey-*looks up at David surprised*
David-Me & my brother have, but um we’re hoping to go big with Motown. Melvin’s recorded twice before himself in different groups.
Eddie-Well you have a talented family!
Paul-Indeed you do....& a lovely date!
David-A lovely date I do have & my family appreciates the compliment.
Eddie- Well, we better be going. Nice meeting you all, especially you Ms. Daniels! *Group leaves*
Al-Suck ups!
Richard-Al let it go!
Peewee-Ya man, you just upset cause Diane was taken!
Josephine-Well at least they were polite about the whole thing....I didn’t favor that Florence Ballered to much myself but she was decent.
Al-Defensive huh Jo? *Chuckles*
Jo-No, & you Al should learn to show up at time! That way Otis wouldn’t be threatening to fire you all the time! David, Honey, boys; excuse you me I must be going. David, Honey, it was a pleasure meeting you both! *Leaves*
Peewee-We should be going too guys. It was nice to meet you two *Nods to David & Honey, the boys leave*
Honey-Well, they all seemed nice.*Smiles, laughs a little*
David-Nice, but crazy! *Both laugh*
Honey-Maybe just a little....
David-Wanna head out & just walk around a bit?
Honey-Sure.... *Honey & David leave & roam the streets holding hands*

[davidruffinlover]

Chapter 16: David-*Studying Honey as they walk* Look like you have something on your mind, wanna tell me about it?
Honey-*Sighs* I just felt like a celebrity or something....I’ve never had so many eyes on me, nor met so many people at once; not even at the grandest parties I’ve attended!
David-I find that hard to believe...
Honey-*Smacks him in the arm* I’m serious*laughs* it’s awkward being gawked at like that!
David-*Chuckles* I’m sorry...so what’s it like?
Honey-*Smiling, holding his hand again* What’s what like?
David-Having everyone know your name, who you are?
Honey-Well it depends. Some people are very flattering & polite....others, again depending on who they are; can despise you beyond imagination. Enough about me though, what’s it like having people know your name Mr. Recording Star?! Why didn’t you tell me?
David-Well I’ve recorded nothing huge....me & Jimmy did some demos & recording together. Didn’t think it was worth mentioning.
Honey-Well, didn’t expect that!
David-What?
Honey-Your modest. A fine quality which I honestly didn’t expect you to have. Don’t take that the wrong way, I never thought you were incapable of it....I just didn’t know you had it. *Smiles innocently*
David-Thanks, I guess....
Honey-It’s a compliment! I would never insult you! *Laughs*
David-Oh right, minus being a “Judgmental stalker” & a “arrogant smart ass” *Smirks*
Honey-How many times do you want me to say it? I’m sorry & I take it all back!! *laughs* Your neither of those things I said.
David-Now wait a minute, I am a smart ass & pride myself on it! Just not an arrogant one....
Honey-*Raises a questioning eyebrow at him* The only other person I know whose actually proud of being a smart ass is Daisy. You know, they; Meagan & Daisy have been very rude to you & your brother. I apologize for their behavior.
David-Well then I apologize for the way my brothers treated you & your friends....his racist comments & lack of manners, he’s a very proud man.
Honey-Racist comments....race is such a stupid issue! I don’t understand the big deal...I was thinking something earlier.
David-And what would that be?
Honey-Well my mother disapproves of you, because of your race. So I thought, what if I was to lay out in the sun for awhile & get really tan....would she consider me then a different race because of my new skin tone? Would she disown me? Would she disapprove of me as she does you over my skin color?!
David-Intriguing thoughts....
Honey-I think I’ll try it, laying the sun for awhile I mean....see what she does or if she’ll even care.
David-You do that *Smiles at her*
Honey-*Begins to feel nervous tension again* So, are we walking to anywhere specific?
David-Naw, unless your hungry or something? Cause we can get something to eat if you’d like.
Honey-No, unless your hungry of course....
David-No, I’m fine. But you know I would like to take you somewhere.
Honey-Alright....*They walk for a few blocks, arrive on the corner of Cherry Tree Lane where there’s a man playing the saxophone under the street lamp, hat on the ground for money. David drops some change in the mans hat & steps onto the street*
Honey-You might wanna get back on the sidewalk & out of the middle of the street you know!
David-Why?
Honey-Because, you might get run over!
David-*Looks around the empty street* By what? All the cars?! *Smiles at her*
Honey-*Smirks at him* Well I ain’t gonna feel sorry for ya then when you become roadkill & I have to call someone to scrape you off the street!
David-You would cry your pretty hazel eyes out & feel terrible guilty & you know it!
Honey-Would not!....
David-Come here.
Honey-What?
David-Join me, right here in the middle of the street.
Honey-Are you crazy? No!
David-Why not?
Honey-Because I don’t want to & I’d like to live through tonight thank you. *Turns away from him*
David-Not even to dance with me? *Smirks*
Honey-*Turns back to answer & sees car coming from behind him* David!! *Screams & grabs his arm & pulls him onto the sidewalk* Are you alright?! You idiot!!
David-*Out of breath* I’m alright, I’m cool. You? *Steps closer to her*

Honey-Me? Me?! You almost got run over & your asking if I’m ok?! You are the most stupid man I’ve ever met!! *Pushes him away*
David-*Laughs*
Honey-What is so funny?! Why are you laughing?
David-Nothing*chuckles* I’m sorry is all. And thank you, for saving my life.
Honey-*Frustrated sigh* Your welcome.*Using wild hand motions* I couldn’t just let you die, I mean I would have a lot of explaining to do to your family & mine....plus your brother would kill me!
David-*Watches her with an amused expression* Wanna dance?
Honey-*Smirks*You do mean on the sidewalk?
David-*Chuckles* Yes, on the sidewalk.
Honey-*Smiles* Sure. *David extends his hand & they dance to the lovely music being played by the saxophone player*
Honey-Will you sing for me? *Smiles broadly*
David-Ha. Maybe some other time...when I make it big. Then I’ll sing for you whenever you want, & you’ll hear my voice on the radio & see me on TV doing special appearances. And I’ll get you front row seats to all my concerts & take ya on tour with me.
Honey-Well that does sound exciting! You better hurry up & become famous fast! *Both laugh* David-What do you want to do? With your life.
Honey-Well, I want to go to college & finish my education. I’d like to be a volunteer nurse, for wars & such. And of course I want to be married, have a family of my own...children. What any girl would want.*Looks up to see David staring at her* Why you looking at me like that? Don’t approve of my dreams?
David-*Smiles* No, I love your dreams.
Honey-*Smiles back* You know that girl you said you were interested in, that you said I knew?
David-Ah yes. The girl I’m crazy about!
Honey-*Laughs* Well I put in a good word for you & told her about the whole race “issue” * guess what!
David-What?*Smirks*
Honey-She doesn’t care! She doesn’t give a damn about race like most people & she says she’s very interested in you! *Smiles*
David-That’s great! Thanks for putting in a good word for me. *Smiles*
Honey-Well anytime. I didn’t have to say much to get her interested. Just told her you were handsome & charming & kind & polite....when you want to be of course. *Smiles, then sees David leaning in to kiss her* Um....no. *Backs out of his arms a little* I can’t.
David-Can’t what?
Honey-You know what....I’m not supposed to kiss on a first date.
David-*Chuckles* Is that right? But isn’t there an exception to every rule? *Takes her in his arms again*
Honey-Well...I, I suppose. *Breathing heavily* But, what makes you think you’re the exception?!
David-Cause there’s no one else around to be the exception to this rule of yours. *Kisses her*
Honey-*Hesitates at first, then excepts. Little do they know David’s brother(Jimmy) is watching from across the street. Honey feels her knees weakening & regrettably pulls away & is speechless*
David-Like breaking the rules? *Smiles*
Honey-Um, I like breaking them more then I expected. *Smiles, both laugh. She sees David’s watch on his wrist glistening under the street lamp & grabs his arm* Damn!
David-What?
Honey-It’s 11:15. I have to meet the girls back at the front of the school & then we have to get back to Megs house before midnight! I’m sorry, I have to go!
David-Don’t worry about it, I’ll walk ya & wait with ya till they show up.
Honey-You don’t have to really...
David-I want to. *They walk to the school & wait on the bench, as the girls show up they share another kiss. Honey then runs off with the girls. They make it back to Meagan’s house at excatly 11:58 *

[davidruffinlover]

Yes people, I took "Cherry Tree Lane" from Mary Poppins(please don't sue!). I couldn't think of a street name & it's the first thing that came to mind!!!! =)
