I never would have pictured my life to be this complicated, screwed up maybe, but this just was no fairytale. As I sit here on my queen size bed looking at the pink stripes on my tourqois wall I could hear my mom and her recent boyfriend downstairs argueing. I try blocking it out but its just so impossible.

"Michael please...Im sorry,don't leave-"

"Mariza, your just..you don't give me any room to breath, this is the last time" He interrupted

"But I love you"I heard her whimper. After a long silence the door slammed. I felt bad for my mom but then I agreed with her new ex-boyfriend she did need to back off a bit.Dont get me wrong my mom is very attractive,with golden light brown hair, bronze skin and light brown eyes. She was young to, 30, but fact was she just came off as to clingy.Ever since my father had an affair with my aunt, oh yeah, my moms older sister, she just has it in her mind that every man cheats.

What's worse is my father and aunt are still together, married with a thirteen year old son.So its just me and mom now.

My name is Amber-Lee De-la Rosa,I'm sixteen,half white, half Puerto rican. I'm a junior in high school. I'm not a loser just not at the top of the popularity chart since the school has sluts..Oh my looks have nothing to do with it just my outspoken, headstrong, sarcastic attitude toward any guy especially the jokes trying to sleep with me.

I'm athletic built with a well toned body, thick butt, narrow waist. I'm 5 5 sun kissed skin, hazel eyes, small nose and very thick pouty lips. All in which are framed by my golden brown wavy long hair.

"Lee, can you come downstairs por favor"mom yelled from the bottom of the stairs. Rolling my eyes I got up and and go downstairs to see what she wants. When I get downstairs she quickly wipes her smudged eyeliner and smiles like ten minutes ago didn't happen.

"Que? What's up?" I asked leaning against the marble counter top.

"I need you to help me get dinner started, were having guest and we need to make a good impression"

"Why? Tell me their not weird like your other guest" I whined remembering the previous guest she's had over.

"No Lee, she's my best friend Emily and her husband Royce Benson, their good people....oh and they have a son"She tease annoyingly.

"Mamita please tell me this isn't yet another attempt to hook me up with some loser for money again..Why cant you just accept I'm not like you!"I shouted at her. She took a deep breath and sighed.

"Your fixing to be 17 and I think you should settle down and it doesn't hurt if he has money"She said then began to prepare the roast. I just didn't understand her at all, well most of the time, like for instance money,WE DON'T NEED IT. We live good and mom doesn't even have to work since my father is the owner of 2 multi billion corporations. As much as I love her I despise her ways sometimes. I served me a glass of ice lemon aide and sat down when mom broke the silence.

"Can you please try and get to know this one this time,he's a great kid"She said making a sad face making me laugh.

"Fine...but you have to promise that this is the last time you set me up"

**SILENCE**

"MOM!"I shouted at her

"Ay! okay promise but you have to be nice"she warned

"Deal.."I agree happily, then got up and Hugged her. She kiss me and smiled

"Well go get dressed they will be here at 7 o'clock" Smiling I headed up the stairs, grab some under clothes and rush to take a shower. After 20 minutes of deciding what to wear I finally wore a thigh high red and black Ed hardy dress with my red pumps. Then applied eyeliner, lip gloss, and mascara. I finished up and applied some of my favorite Dolce and gabbana perfume and walked downstairs I froze just as the doorbell rang.

"Lee, honey come meet our guest" Mom said. Its like she knew I was hiding in the hallway. I just hope this guy wasn't nerdy and weird like the last guys. Walking into the living room I only saw the couple smiling as they saw me.

"Hi I'm Amber-Lee it's nice meeting both of you" I said politely shaking both their hands.

"Hello doll I'm Emily Benson...oh she's so lovely and very beautiful isn't she Royce"

"Yes honey"He smiled at me"I'm Royce...our son should be here in a few minutes. He's been wanting to meet you.

My mom led them to the dinning room and then came out into the living room doorway.

"Lee honey answer the door, well be having drinks...dinners almost ready"

I felt nervous when I heard the doorbell ring calming myself I went to the door and open it. When I saw him I couldn't believe how hot he is. He was 6 even, and looked about 18 years old, athletic built and even though he wore a loose coogi shirt I could still see his well muscled figure. He had eyes of bright green, long eyelashes, and thick heart shaped lips. He had it all from his looks to his pretty boy gangster wear he rocked. His skin was light even though Mr.Benson was African American.

"You must be Amber-Lee?"He smiled a perfect smile showing his white teeth. I nodded speechless in awe even his voice was perfect. Letting him in I closed the door and walked to take a seat. His eyes followed me then he came over and sat with me.

"What?"I laughed breaking the silence.

"Your beautiful lil mama"He said getting closer making me blush. The scent of his cologne smelled so good."So our parents been wanting us together...if I would have known you looked this good I would have met you sooner"

"Oh yeah, should I be flattered...So you agree too with them planning our lives?"I said

"Shit ma I'm ight with it, but when they mentioned kids...I just ain't no kind of role model for a youngster, but if it is you and me,that's all it better be"

"Really..I think its bullshit, my moms done this to me three times and I hate it"I blushed when he laughed then he brushed some loose hair from my cheek.

"Fo reals I understand...So am I like the other guys?"

"No...Your better"

"Good"He smirked"Man you got me all nervous and shit...ain't no female make me feel like this...you think you could want me?"He looked down embarrassed by his forwardness but I didn't mind I was glad he felt it too. I lifted his face and looked into his bright green eyes and smiled. He returned my gaze.

"I can and I will"I whispered. I didn't quite expect what happened next. He pressed his lips against mine, my eyes widened then closed as I kissed him back. All I could think of was please let me know how to kiss. After our first kiss he touched my bottom lip softly."I love your lips, and damn you kiss good"

"Lee...Donavin, dinner!"Mom called from the doorway. How long was she standing there because she had a big smile. Donavin got up and handed me his hand to help me up. When we finished dinner he hugged me goodbye. Our parents smiled proudly that we had taken to one another. While mom and I were putting away dishes I noticed how she kept smiling at me.

"What?"I asked

"Soo does he stand a chance?"

"Yess mom....Satisfied"
