Only the dusty, bum dudes that had bomb dick but didn't have a place to stay or money wanted her.

Michelle decided that in her 30s she will finally get the man of her dreams since she finally got the job of her dreams(she works at Centric magazine)
Michelle is reclaiming her time and that's where Damon and Rasheed come in.
Michelle POV
I've been at my job at Centric Magazine for awhile but I haven't taken a part of the benefits. Benefits meaning fancy parties and hanging out with Celebrities. I make sure I'm around for the free stuff and Massage Monday's, yoga Wednesday and the free food everyday. Our office, just like Google and Instagram has a snack room, we also have a cafeteria where Au bon pon cooks for us. So I basically only eat at my house on the weekends now. I also bring snacks from work to Home.
Anyway, tonight I'm on the train wearing a red off-the-shoulder dress with black. The men and some women looking at me with lust in their eyes. Yes I look hot tonight!
I'm going to see the rapper Skully at Irving Place and I'm late but it's okay. I've seen him perform before plus Irving Place has no seats. You gotta stand up for like 2hrs(depending on who is performing) but thanks to my job I'm going backstage and being comfortable.
His daughter, Diamond sees me and runs to me like she knows me. Kids can tell the difference between good and evil.
Damon Aka Skully POV
I just killed the stage I walked into the back and I immediately spotted Diamond laying on some lady tities. Did V dog got a new woman?
"Aye, who is that with my babygirl?
"She is some nice broad from Centric magazine, I think she wanna interview you but Diamond. Aye your daughter got better taste than you nigga! *V dog
I mean mug his ass but he's right though. Let's see what miss thick lady is about.
"Daddy!
I reach and pick her up. She lays her head on my shoulder.
"Hi.
"Hey, so you're from Centric magazine?
"Yea and I would like to interview you for our Father's Day spread. We are doing an issue about celebrity Black fathers.
Cool. Did you give V dog, my manager all the details?
"Yes in between playing with my new friend. Right Diamond?
She tickles her a little and baby girl cracks up. She is usually like me and dont like people, more specifically she doesn't really like women except my my mom, auntie and crip mom. She is usually just mean and quiet around people.
Diamond starts crying and I try to soothe her but she ain't having it. She reaches out to the Centric lady and the lady holds her.
"She gets attached fast.
"Not usually. Umm can I take you home?
She raises her eyebrow and I brace myself to get cursed out.
"I mean can I drive you home? Diamond should be asleep by the time we get to your place.
"Oh sure. Thanks.
We all leave, my crew goes their separate ways while Diamond, Centric lady and I get into my car.
"So What is your name?
"Michelle.
"Damon Ford
"I know.
"I just wanted to say that cause I'm completely different when I'm with my daughter.
"I can already tell. You seem like a great father.
"Thanks.
"So where do you live?
"Brooklyn. St John's place and Herkimer.
"Okay.
I start the car and off we go. I play the old school R&b station and Michelle lights up. Fire & desire starts playing.
"You got good music taste
"Surprised?
"Nah. You seem like the type. You remind me of a 90s type dude even in your flow. It reminds me of some good times.
"You an 80s baby?
"Yup. 80s baby, grew up in the 90s and still obsessed with the music but I made an exception for you.
"Why is that?
"I already told you.
"You like my flow but I think it's more than that.
"Your stories, I can relate to them. Plus your voice is electrifying.
The atmosphere in the car changes as the song ends and another song comes on.
We talk some more which makes the drive short. We end up being parked in front of her house
We talk some more which makes the drive short. We end up being parked in front of her house kissing. Diamond's snoring loud breaks us apart.
"I should go.
"Yea me too.
"I will see you for that interview.
"Okay.
She gets out and goes into her house. I drove away while my mind was filled with thoughts.
"I never kissed no broad I just met not even when I'm faded. I blame you kid.
Diamond just snores more and I chuckle. Let me get my baby home.
