"I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love."
― Marilyn Monroe

Savannah POV

"So Savannah, after looking at your incredible résumé and talking to your previous employers, it seems that your definitely qualified for the job. My last question for your and I hope it doesn't sound cliche, "Why should we hire you?"

*Pause*

Why do potential bosses always ask that question? Why the hell do you think I applied for the job? I would be wrong if I simply told him that
"Because I'm a black female and if you don't hire me I will sue your ass for racial discrimination!".

*Resume*

"Well Mr. Sinclair, You should hire me because I am a service oriented bilingual individual searching for a position where my strong work ethic and education would be of a great asset to any office work environment, including yours."

"Very good answer Ms. Cox, I will call yo-" I cut off Sinclair and he wasn't expecting my next move.

"As you know, all of the candidates are most likely extremely worthy of this position. I am going to tell you why I should be the one you choose to fill it. First of all,  I pay attention to details and I will get any job given to me done quickly and accurately. I am eager to learn and I'm dedicated and passionate.

I attended Tulane University in a full ride scholarship and was determined to be a pharmacist, despite many hardships. Iam loyal, trustworthy, and I will always show up on time. If you asked someone about me, they would probably say I am mature, smart, kind, caring, and a happy person, in general. I am extremely experienced in this area and I know I am the right person for this job."

Also I will like to point out that I'm not going to be your "Aunt Jemima". I'm not going to be playing any stereotypical role in this establishment. Even though I was born and raised in the hood, that side will only come out if someone pisses me off.

I'm not a bougie-black woman either, I'm just here to work that's it. I don't want to come off as the "BBB". If you don't know what that means its the "Bitter Black Bitch." I said with a warming smile.

The look on Sinclair's face was priceless and I had him right where I wanted him.

"When can you start" he said with a scared smile.

And that's how you show people that your not to be fucked with.

Ethan POV

*Doorbell ringing*

"Whoever that is ringing my doorbell better have a good explanation," I swear to God this works on my damn nerves, everyone who knows me, knows that I don't play around when it comes to my sleep. Opening the door, I was greeted by the Devil himself - my mother.

I gave her the "fuck off" face and was tapping my foot waiting for the same old excuse to why she was at my door, at three in the morning. The stench of crystal meth and moonshine reeked from her and the odor was making me very uncomfortable.

"Fix your face, before I fix it for you," Glenda said with a "threatening tone". I was about to slam the door in her face but she basically barged in my house.

I ran after her and found her in my kitchen looking through my refrigerator probably for some food or alcohol.

"You know what my grandmother always told me to respect my elders and that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to ask you nicely only once, What do you want?" I said with a fake ass smile.

"Look I came here to see my son, Jesus is that now a crime."she said with a crack in her voice.

My mother does this all the time, putting on the theatrics so she can get money out of me for drugs. I usually don't give her any, she curses me out and then moves on to pester my siblings.

I don't even recognize my mom anymore. She looks like one of the meth addicts you see on the online advertisements.

Before the drugs and the abusive relationships, her hair was magma-red and it crashed over her shoulders.She had rapture-blue eyes and was average weight.She had a bubbly outlook on life.

Now all that was replaced with rotten teeth, close to weighing 90 pounds, grey -raggedy hair, eyes that had no soul and a fucked up perspective on life.

"Save the bullshit for someone who actually gives a fuck mom", I just snapped.

"Who the hell do you think your talking to. I brought you into this world and I will take your ugly ass out."she said while inching towards me.

With that being said, I grabbed her by her arm and kicked her out of my house. I will not be disrespected in my own house.

I walked back inside and made sure that every door and window was locked, she will try anything in order to get a quick fix.

Even though I promised myself I wouldn't work this week, I needed to take my mind off the negativity in my life.

I walked into my office and decided to call my bestfriend/manager of my restaurant, Denise to see what's been going on.

*ring ring ring*

" Nigga what do you want? It's 3 in the morning, it better be a damn emergency.", Denise said while popping her bubblegum in my ear.

"You know I can't say the word back to you. Why do you always put me in this predicament?" I said with a soft chuckle.

"Nigga we've been bestfriends since diaper days, you know damn well I have no problem with you saying the word. Technically you're black, you're just very light skin with that good hair and pretty eyes, but you weren't blessed with the package."she said clearly catching a heartache full of laughter.

"You just jealous because I'm that Sexual-White Chocolate. All the girls want a taste of this." I said with a seductive voice.

"Boy you look like a motherfuckin uhh... Koala bear with a tampon looking ass nigga, ole Malibu Most Wanted looking ass nigga." She said and we continued to laugh.

"But seriously I called to ask you what's been going on with my wife. Is she ok?" I heard Denise sigh.

"You know damn well I will never let your "Wife" be in harms way. Everything is good down there and business is booming like always." I smiled once I heard this. "I got some good ass tea for you baby boy." Denise said.

"Bitch please spill, I've been dying of thirst all damn day" I said in my girl voice.

"So they got this new black woman that just moved into town maybe two months ago. Nobody really knew anything about her until now. Her name is Savannah Cox, born and raised in New Orleans, left because shewas offered a higher paying position as a pharmacist." Denise said with a smile.

"She's very gorgeous and full-figured just the way you like them. Since your Sexual-white chocolate, she can be your Sensual-milk chocolate." She said while laughing.

I started picturing the mystery woman in my mind. So far what I saw, was exactly what I wanted in a woman.

"That might actually happen, you just never know."

We finished our conversation and I decided that I would try to find this "Savannah Cox" and see what she's all about.
