And now... What's wrong?

Did something happen to Kim? Worse.

I cheated on the professor.

You slept with Johnny?

Where'd it go?

No, I didn't sleep with Johnny. I just met him. I'm not you.

But I did kiss him. Okay, exactly what kind of kiss was it? Did you slip him

some tongue?

That and a little tonsil.

Goofy! No, no, no, no. Bad for me. And whatever you do, this has to stay

us. If my boo finds out, it'll be devastating.

Girl, forget him. Look, at some point you got to move on. You can't spend the

rest of your life chasing somebody who don't want you. Uh -uh.

Now my boo wants me.

He just needs a little more time to realize it.

Nikki, it's been five years.

Time's up.

You know what I think?

You're afraid that Johnny might be the one.

That's ridiculous.

Prove it.

Fine. I'll call him.

Call him. I am.

I won't say nothing.

Hey, Johnny.

I'm finding you.

I was wondering if we could talk.

Mm -hmm.

Great. Okay.

Bye.

What'd he say?

That he'll be right over.

How'd you get here so fast?

I've been sitting in my car since we kissed last night.

Oh, that is so romantic.

How come you don't think it's romantic when I wait outside the professor's

apartment? Because when you do it, it's just crazy.

I can't graduate. My counselor says I'm shy 60 credits.

Okay, how can that be? You would have had to flunk all your classes.

Sure, rub it in.

When Mama finds out, she's gonna kill me.

Yeah, you're right.

Might be safe if you tell her here, in front of witnesses.

Yeah, and you better think of something quick. Here she comes.

Hey, y 'all. Hey.

What's wrong, Puddin'? Nothing, Mama.

You're just so beautiful, I can't stand to look at you.

Okay, spill it.

Mama, I won't be graduating.

What? Is that all? It's okay, baby. Maybe school just isn't for you.

Don't worry, Kim. Your heart was never really in school anyway.

Neither were you.

Listen, baby, just find a way to turn a negative into a positive.

Oh, that's cruel, Mama. You know I'm not good at math.

opportunity to follow your dreams.

Now, you've been designing clothes for years.

You're entering at the house of dare, and you're a head stylist to a top

supermodel. Why don't you go into business for yourself?

Yeah, that's a really good idea, Kim.

You really think I can do that? Yeah, girl, you're closer to bomb.

Maybe your dad can help you with the startup money.

You know what I'm going to talk to him right now. Thanks, guys.

All right.

Wow,

Nikki, you handled Kim's news really well. Yeah, you feeling okay?

Well, I'm fine now, but you should see a counselor.

He told me the news as I was walking by.

Oh, I hope his limp isn't permanent.

Hey, boo.

You sure are happy. Well, I just found out that I landed the teaching job at

Weatherly University.

I'm finally leaving this place. Oh, that's great.

the colleges I applied for.

Wembley is my first choice.

What?

Yes. I'm just waiting to hear from him. No, no, no, no. You don't want to go

there. Well, after my interview, they said I had a good chance of getting in.

Water. Loch Ness Monster. Jesse!

makes the score 25 for us and a measly three for you guys. Hey!

We are good.

That's right. You know what? I've always wanted to go to Jamaica.

Well, why don't you book a flight? I heard they welcome cheaters there this

of year. Mm -hmm.

Don't hate.

Congratulate. Okay.

All right. Not too late to catch up. Just concentrate.

Okay? All right.

He's big and white.

Russian and boss.

Let's move on.

Okay, there are people who decide if you're guilty or not.

A judge.

I said people.

Well, judges are people too, babe.

Jesus,

give me strength.

God, I'm singing.

Looks like we win.

That's right.

Come on, Leslie. Let's go.

Baby, I'm not ready to go. Come on, let's play.

Horny?

That's us.

Good, you finally got one right.

All right, y 'all. Call me tomorrow, livers. All right, cheaters.

Don't hate. You go home and practice later.

Mm -hmm.

Yeah, again.

Kaboom.

Oh, that was so much fun.

Yeah, it sure was.

You know, I have never been so in tune with somebody like that before.

Not even your poo, Stacy?

No. And you?

I mean, I noticed you hadn't mentioned your boo all night long.

Wow.

I sure haven't. I guess you're right. Mm -hmm.

Well, let's see if we can keep it that way.

Hey,

Mama. Hey, Johnny.

What's wrong now, Puddin'? Daddy said he can't help me with my business.

Money's been a little tight since his divorce.

I knew that white woman was going to clean him out.

Mama, do you know if Bubba's ribs and check hashing can get me a loan?

Baby, why don't you go down to First National Bank and see Mr. Barnes? Okay,

Mama, first thing in the morning.

But right now, I'm going to bed.

Having your own business is a lot of work.

Mm -hmm.

Good night, Puddin'. Good night. Good night, Johnny.

Good night, Kim. Good night, Kim.

Hey, y 'all.

Hey, Mama, why are you so happy?

My letter came from Weatherly University today.

Oh. You got in? I don't know, and I'm too nervous to open it. Here, Kim, you

read it. Okay.

Oh.

I'm sorry, Mama. You weren't accepted.

But it's okay. It's not just you. It says that they're closing the doors

forever, and they're not accepting any new students ever.

Well, that's odd.

Let me see that.

Okay, something's not right here.

It's not even on Weatherly Stationery.

Huh? Let me take a look at that.

I know that's sent anywhere.

This isn't from Weatherly University. It's from the professor.

He is such a jokester.

It's crazy.

Well, the professor's not the only one with a sense of humor.

I went down to First National Bank to get my loan approved, and Mr. Barnes

laughed as soon as I said my name.

Oh, I forgot about that little bank robbery incident.

Well, he asked if I had a business plan.

And I said, yeah, you give me some money, and I plan on starting my own

business.

Kim, why don't you let me do a business plan for you? Then you can go to another

bank and try again.

Thanks, Stevie. You were always good with that kind of stuff.

Well, I don't want to brag, but I did get into UCLA.

Wow, Stevie, that is wonderful.

How come you didn't tell us sooner?

Well, with Nikki waiting on Weatherly and that... Oh, you not graduating

I didn't really think it was appropriate.

Dang, Nikki, you must be putting it on your boy, because he went way out. What

you talking about, T?

For the most beautiful woman in the world, who's at the center of my heart

and every day, with love, Johnny.

That is so sweet.

Wow, things are really heating up between you and Johnny, huh?

Now, look, Stevie, a brother does not proclaim his love in a newspaper unless

he's hidden.

Well,

you need to stay out of grown -up business.

I wonder what the professor's going to think when he sees it.

Oh, my God, I forgot all about him.

He's going to freak out.

Hey, Miss Parker.

That's a lovely picture of you in this week's Corsair.

You are really glowing.

Did you read the part where it says, with love?

Johnny? Yes.

And that's when I started glowing.

I'm sure he's just masking his pain.

Forget him and forget Weatherly University.

You don't want to go to Weatherly? Who named it?

I've got plenty of other choices besides Weatherly or the Perfecta. That's

right.

I heard you mention the professor recently.

The who?

Girl, I have been so into Johnny lately, the professor hasn't crossed my mind.

I'm really starting to like him.

Okay. Not to mention, it actually feels good to have a man return my phone

calls. Oh, good for you, Nikki.

And I like Johnny. And since him and Lester are good friends, we can all hang

out together.

Double dated?

Yeah.

I'm talking about you. Come on in. Okay, okay, okay.

Hey, Angela. Hey.

So, uh, what brings you here? Besides me.

Well, beautiful.

I received some great news today that I wanted to come by and tell you in

person.

What? I've been promoted to head chef.

Oh, wow!

Hey, baby!

Well,

congratulations,

Johnny! Well, thank you for giving me some love, then, girl. Okay. Well, you

know what? Let me go so you two can celebrate.

But, you know...

So, what do you want to do tonight?

Pack.

Pack? Yeah. Why?

I have to leave in two weeks. The job is in New York.

Oh, when are you coming back?

I'm not.

How come you never mentioned you applied for a job in New York?

Well, I didn't. They offered it to me. And, baby, it was such a great

opportunity, I couldn't turn it down.

Right.

I'm happy for you.

But not so happy for us.

Oh, baby, listen. What we have doesn't have to end.

I mean, we can make the best of these two weeks, and then after that, there's

always e -mailing and telephones and the friendly sky.

Hmm? Yeah, you're right.

Okay, okay. All right, all right. You want to go and get a drink?

No, you go ahead.

You have to stop packing. We'll celebrate tomorrow.

Okay. Yeah, okay.

All right. I do got to pack. Oh, God, I got so much stuff to...

You all right? Yeah.

I'm great.

Okay. Okay.

Till tomorrow.

Okay. All right, baby. See you later.

All right, sweetie.

All right.

Hey,

ladies. Hey, T.

Wow, you look like you just won the lottery.

Better. You're looking at one of Berklee School of Music's newest students.

I got the acceptance letter this morning.

All right.

What about Freestyle Youth?

Yeah, how are we going to be a group with you in Boston?

We're not.

Y 'all knew I was applying.

What'd you think was going to happen?

We didn't think you were going to get in.

But hey, congratulations.

She's right here.

Okay, we'll call you back. Okay. All right, bye.

Kim, that was my mother's boyfriend, Bill. The young, rich, piggy guy?

Yes. I showed him your business plan. He loves it. He wants to invest.

Cool.

Mm -mm. But truthfully, I don't know anything about running a business.

Hey, Stevie, I mean, since you'll be here at UCLA, I mean, why don't you two

into business together and help Kim?

Yeah.

handle the fashion stuff. You can handle the business stuff. We'll split

everything in half. 60 for you, 40 for me.

That sounds like some easy money. I want in.

Kim, I would be honored to work with you.

It's a deal.

Hey, Professor, what's going on?

I'm collecting signatures to keep Miss Parker out of Weatherly.

there is no way that woman is stepping foot on my campus.

You're kidding, right?

Hey, if they can recall a California governor, they should be able to recall

measly student application.

Hey, don't worry about it, Professor.

She doesn't want to go there anyway.

Oh, that's impossible.

I'll be there.

I think Mama wants to go to USC.

So you can relax, Professor. You can have Weatherly all to yourself.

Yeah, Mama's over you.

Well, come to think of it, that would explain why I had an entire Miss Parker

free date the other night.

How'd it go, Fred?

Well, I was so nervous that she was going to show up that I ended the date

early.

Yeah, well, that won't last.

When it comes to me, Miss Parker can't control herself.

You can't decide what movie you want to see. Then you get a sloth coming home.

Now you're rushing me in this house like you're running from the police.

Too much soda, Mom. I gotta go.

Should I get back in here and do all this?

Welcome to Jamaica, Mom.

Well, my work is done.

You two lovebirds enjoy yourself.

See you later.

Johnny, lose the hat.

I thought it was cool.

Hey, baby, take off your shoes.

Take off your shoes. Let's do a little limbo. Let me see how low can you go.

I don't play that.

So what do you think?

Huh? What do you think?

Johnny, I love it.

Although I'm wondering who in the house can clean up all this sand.

Listen, don't even worry about that.

We'll get Kim to do it.

You sit down, relax, and enjoy the food.

What made you think of that?

Well, you said you always wanted to go to Jamaica.

Since I'm leaving soon, I figured this was the next best thing.

I can't believe you remember that.

I remember every word you've ever said since the day we met.

Oh, man.

That was delicious.

My compliments to the chef.

Oh, baby, I can't take all the credit. My sister Carmen hooked all this up.

Well, you tell Carmen if she cooks like this for me, I'll date her, too.

This was good.

Wow.

You really know how to make a girl miss you.

And after next week, my life won't be the same.

Well, I was hoping that neither of our lives would be the same after next week.

What does that mean?

Nikki.

Baby.

These past few weeks have been the happiest of my life.

And I realize that I don't want to lose you.

And I've been chasing someone else for six years.

I finally know what I really want.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you, being happy.

So...

Nicole Ann Parker.

Will you marry me?

Hold that thought.

I'll be right back.

God, I really need you right now.

See, Johnny, he just asked me.

Okay, well, you already know about that.

But, uh, before I give him an answer, I need to know if he's the one.

So, um, can you give me a sign?

Okay, wait!

Now, they didn't say rain today.

Sorry, God, but I need something more concrete.

I mean, how am I supposed to know for sure that this is the man I'm supposed

marry?

Oh, wait, wait.

Wait.

Okay, now you dripping now.

And that was a sign.

Thank you.

Nikki, I'm sorry. Maybe I'm rushing things.

You know, and I don't blame you if you say, you know what I mean? I didn't

I don't know what I was thinking. We've only known each other a couple of weeks.

I know, but I've never felt anything like this before. Would you shut up?
