In Between

Chapter 2

LATER THAT NIGHT

"You have some earrings?" Yvette came in my room asking. She had on a short red dress, black heels and her long hair was up in a high ponytail.

"Yeah." I said giving her a pair. After I got done getting dress I threw my heels on and we left.

*

"You. In the pink." some dude in the car said to me. I walked up to his door and leaned on the window.

"What's up daddy." I said smiling.

"I'm looking to have a good time. Can you help me with that?" He bit his lip while looking at my breast.

"You have money?"

"Do I?" he said flashing his stack of money.

"Alright then. I can make that happen." I looked back at Yvette. "Bye."

"Bye goodluck. Be careful." she said and I got in the car with the guy.

*

We didn't even get in the house yet and he was kissing all on my neck. It's like he hasn't had a woman's company in years.

He finally unlocked the door then we entered as he grabbed my butt. After he closed the door he picked me up carried me to the room and put me on the bed.

After having sex with this unattractive man. I slid out the bed as he was sleep. I quietly went in the bathroom to clean myself and freshen up. I put on my clothes, grabbed my money then left. It was easy getting from him. Most men try to trap you in.

I didn't plan on prostituting but when my mom kicked me out this is what I turned to. It started with just one dude paying me for sex but when I seen how much money I could make, it became a habit.

FLASHBACK

"Liyah!!!!" My mom called me from the living room, I heard the front door slam so I know she just came in. I can just tell she had been out drinking Becasue she always comes in the house yelling when she has. "Liyah!!! Bring your ass here!!"

I got out my bed and went to go see what was wrong with her.

"Mama why the hell you--" I stopped talking when I seen her. She looked all kinds of messed up. She had on a red stained up dress and her hair was a mess. "What happened to you?"

"Don't worry about what happened to me, worry about what's gonna happen to you." She said stumbling to me and I smelled the liquor on her breath. "I got a new man. It's David and I know y'all don't get along so I need you out. so Scoot, ok?" The name she said made my eyes open. I hated David with a passion, every time I seen him it's like his eyes undressed me.

"Hell no, you're not dating that man. He went to jail for rape, do you really think imma let you be with him?"

"I know you won't that's why I'm kicking you out." She said going to sit on the couch.

"Lately you been acting like you've lost your mind. Every since dad died--"

"Ugh that man. Let's not talk about him ok, I have a new man now."

"Ok. We're done with this conversation, you're fucking crazy. I'm going to bed." I said about to walk to my room.

"No you're not, you're getting out my house!"

"You're drunk."

"I said you're getting out now!!" She yelled and she threw her shoe at me while getting off the couch. "You're not going to ruin this for me!! I love David and since y'all don't get along, you need to leave. You're 21 anyways, it's bout time you get out my damn house. You just like your damn daddy, just want someone to take care of you. But I'm done!!!! I been living for everybody else and now I want to live for me." She said trying to keep her balance with one heel on. "You know what, this ain't even about him living here, I just want you out. Out!!!! I want you out!!!" She yelled and she stumbled to her room.

I shook my head in disappointment, I can't believe what just happened. I packed some clothes and was planning on going to my friend Yvette house. After packing some clothes I went to take my so called mom the house keys. When I walked in her room she was sitting on her bed still gulping down alcohol.

"And for your information, I could've had my own place but I decided to stay here and watch after you because you been doing some crazy shit ever dad died. Now when shit hit the fan with you and David, don't call me." I said throwing her key on her bed. "Don't be surprise if the police come knocking on the door for that rapist."

"Whatever!!!! Get out my house!!!" She yelled after me.

I left to Yvette house but I only stayed there for a couple of weeks because we were planning on getting a new apartment together. But I needed to start making my own money though and quick. Days later I met a man that changed my whole life.

END OF FLASHBACK

After hours of working, I went home to my apartment. I was tired, and it was close to 2am.

"Someone look like they had a nice night." Some guy said as I was unlocking my door.

I turned around and it was the dude we met at the park. He was wearing a light blue dress shirt, his shirt was tucked into his black khakis and had on black dress shoes. I was trying to get his name but I forgot it. I know it started with a T. "Heyy you." I said.

"Forgot my name?" He said coming to me.

"Psst.. what? No." I said scrunching my face.

"What's my name?" He said putting his hands in his pockets and smiling.

"Tony.. No, Terrence... Yeah I forgot." I said making him laugh.

"Trey." He said.

"See I knew that I just wanted to know if you knew."

"My own name?" He said laughing harder. "If anyone forget their own name without having amnesia, that's a problem."

"Heyy! I forget my own name." I said laughing.

"You are so funny."

"Thanks." I said and it was awkwardly silent.

Sooooo, you just got off a date or something?"

"Umm yeah." I lied.

"He's one lucky man." He smiled making me blush. We just stood in silence then I smiled.

"Yeah. So what are you doing here anyways? You stalking me?" I asked.

"Yes." He said with a serious face.

"Um." I said feeling creep out.

"I'm playing. Your face was priceless." He said laughing. "My mom actually lives right here." He pointed at the door across from me.

"Oh thank god. I thought I'll have to kill somebody tonight."

"Dang you like that?"

"Umm yeah. If somebody was really stalking me then they gone die because I'm too scared."

"I feel you." He said and it was an award silent again and he bit his lip.

"Umm I'm going to go in, I'm very tired." I took out my key and opened my apartment door.

"Yeah me too, I have to check on my mom." When he said that Yvette was coming up the stairs towards us.

"Girl I had a long night... Oh look it's the sexy married man that I can't get because like I said he's married." She said coming to us.

"Well Heyy to you too." Trey said laughing.

"Mhm, but call me when Yall get divorce. My number is.." I cut her off by calling her name. "Fine I'm going in." She went in the house.

"Goodnight Trey." I said laughing.

"GoodNight Ana'Liyah. " he said smiling and then I went in.

"That man is just too damn fine." I said to myself after I closed and locked the door behind me. But Liyah don't catch feelings so I have to get that out my head. I went to go shower then went to sleep.
