Under The Upper Hand ( ON HOLD )

Chapter 1

Joshua's P.o.v

I Grew up a fucking screw up

Tie my shoe up wish they was newer

I need something newer in love with the baddest bitch in the city

I wish I knew her

"Josh get yo ass up". I groaned.

" JOSHUA" My mama yelled again. I jumped out of bed. And checked my phone for the time it read, 11:00am.

I had to be at work by 12:10 quickly laid out my work clothes and took a quick shower. I wrap the towel around my waist and walked back into my bedroom.

I looked around at my small room. I shook my head, and oiled my body then put on some boxers. I then put on my work pants and shirt. I checked my phone, 11:35am.

"Shit" I mumbled before slipping on my shoes. I

grabbed my phone and headed out. But my mom stopped me.

"Joshua tell ya' damn sister get out that fuckin' bathroom wasting the little hot water we got". I sighed and did as she said I knocked on the bathroom door,

"Kim mama said get out the shower you wasting the hot water" I yelled. I heard the water turn off. Then the door open exposing a wet Brea with a towel around her and her hair.

I nodded then left.

"Bye ma" I said before leaving to the bus stop. As I waited I decided to listen to some music, I pulled out my ear phones and listened to. J.Cole "Love Yourz". I always really liked J.Cole. he understands me. The bus pulled up.

As I sat on the bus by the window looking out it I started thinking about everything I've been through, and everything I'm currently going through. 'Beauty in the struggle ugliness in the success, listen to my words and my disignal of distress. Even tho sometimes we had less compared to my Niggas done the block man we were blessed.'

I nodded my head as the words played in my head. Me and my family are the definition of struggle. We live pay check to pay check. Only people in the house working is me and my moms. She works night shift at some restaurant.

And I work at this minimum widget Chipotle. I really hate it, This is the real hood ass Chipotle. With these low paying jobs I don't know how me and my moms manage to pay rent and keep food in our mouth. Unless its me sneaking food from the kitchen of my job.

My dumb ass sister Kim ain't doing shit, all she's worried about are these little horny ass boys runnin' round' here. Trying to get her kitty.

The bus finally got to my stop, I got out and walked into my job with these rude ass employees. Who think they're better than me because they got a little bit more money than me.

Like we both work at this hood ass Chipotle how can that be.

"Aye Aye" I got pulled out my thoughts by one of the chiefs.

"Yeah man?" I asked.

"You need to get to work, people already comin' in" I put on some gloves and my work hat.

I started making people bowls and burritos.

After 2 hours of slow working everything was going fast now. I was just finishing sliding down a burrito, when I looked up, I saw the most beautiful girl.

"Hey" she said smiling.

"H-Hi". Damn she had a Niggas stuttering. She explained what she wanted to me and I made it. After about 2 people later I went on my lunch break.

The Girl was still eating talking to this white girl. She looked expensive.

Why would she be coming to this part of the hood just to eat? I wondered.

I sat at an empty table and started to eat a few chips and salsa. I wanted to save some for mama to take to lunch so I ate slowly and piece by piece.

Mama couldn't afford groceries, and welfare was tight with us. So I would eat a little bit of my food and save the rest for mamas lunch. I got knocked out of my thoughts by a familiar soft voice. I looked up.

"Hey there" she said showing that beautiful smile again.

"Wassup ma"

"Really nigga? Ma? I am not your mom." She said.

"Well damn, I'm Joshua who are you?"

" I'm Adelaide".

I smiled "Beautiful name".What the hell. Joshua complimenting a girl? Wow.

"Thanks." She said

I checked the time it was almost time for me to get back on the clock.

"Hey, I gotta get back to work. It was nice meeting you" I said getting up.

"Wait, here is my number. Don't call me nigga, text me I don't do calls" she said before walking away.

I laughed and stuffed the piece of paper in my pocket and went back to work thinking about Addy.

***

I was now at home from work. My mama just left for work so I was stuck with my 8 Year old sister Brea, and my 15 Year old sister Kim.

We were all in the living room chillin' when my phone rang.

'She a stripper necked dancer but she beggin' me to wife her, when the first time I met lil mama she was a one nighter' I answered it without looking who it was.

"Hey" Stacey's voice boomed through the phone.

"Hey ma."

" What you up to?" She asked.

"Nothin' just coolin with Brea and Brianna" I scooted into a more comfortable position on the couch.

"Aw, well can I come over?". I smacked my lips.

Stacey is my best friend. We knew each other since diapers. She knows everything I've been through and everything I'm going through. She's a middle class.

Her and her family, sometime she helps us. She brings us food and what not nothing to major.

"Really Stac?"

"Yes Josh, I really wanna see you". I sighed and said Yes. We said our goodbyes then hung up.

"Stacey's coming over so I need you guys to be on your best behavior" I explained to Brea and Kim.

They nodded. I quickly ran upstairs to straighten up my room. I re made my bed cleaned up all the clothes on the floor, then opened the window letting some of the cool fall air come in.

I vacuumed then sprayed air freshener in the air.

***

Me and Stacey were chilling and talking in my room. She started to get a little touchy. im not going to lie, Stacey is sexy. But the only thing on my mind is that funny girl from my job, Adelaide.

Stacey started to kiss my lips. I kissed her back. I bit down on her bottom lip She silpped her hand into my sweats, she started to stroke my length. I groaned in pleasure.

This doesnt feel right. I looked at her, and I saw the girl from the my job. i quickly pushed her off.

"What the hell Josh."

"Get out" i said sternly.

"W-What"

"GET OUT" I yelled. she stormed out of my room and slammed my front door. I sighed and fixed myself before laying back on my bed.
