Secrets Of A Sugar Baby

Episode 3

Chapter 2

The day went by fast. I drove the car home. It was amazing how much time you saved when you drove home. What was normally an hour long bus ride was only a 15 minute drive home. I could definitely get used to this, especially on the days where I was exhausted. I managed to stay upbeat for most of the day. Serving as a manager at Foot Locker meant I had to make sure that everything was closed out properly before closing. Luckily, today was a slow day so I finished on time. I parked in our space and made my way to our apartment. As soon I entered the house however, I became overwhelmed with sleepiness. I felt as if I couldn't even make it to my bedroom which was only fifteen feet away down the hallway. I sat on the couch, utterly exhausted. I laid down, not even bothering to wrap my hair up. The next thing I knew, it was the morning.

Even though you can be in the same surroundings for a lot of your life, sometimes waking up in a different part of the room can change your perspective on everything. The windows in my bedroom faced the outside of the apartment, where I could see the hustle and bustle of city life. Even though it was the poor, they were still going about their business. Going to work or school every day, just trying to make their future better than their past. However, when looking out the living room window, I saw the interior of the projects.

As my eyes focused, I noticed how the sun didn't shine as bright in our complex. I saw the trapstars outside making their deals. The hoes coming back from the night shift. It was depressing. I wanted, no, NEEDED more out of life than what I currently had, but I honestly didn't know how to get more. The hood did that to you. You knew more was out there but it made you feel trapped. I would eventually figure it out before this took me under. I'd been here most of my young life. I couldn't live the next fifty years like this. I refused.

I finally got up and walked over to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and wrapped up my hair. I stepped into the shower and reached for my passionfruit shower cream. It was luxurious. It was expensive. And it smelled amazing. It was one of the few luxuries I allowed myself. I heard the door open and shut. Angie was home. I closed my eyes and let the warm water soothe me. A thought crossed my mind as I opened my eyes and looked at my body. My body had shaped out pretty nicely. I mean I didn't have the fat ass and titties that Angie had, but I had some curves to me and a flat stomach. I could probably do nice as a stripper. Both of us bringing in that kind of dough would mean we would be out of here in no time. But I knew I could never do it. I was a wreck in interviews so I knew I could never take my clothes off and dance in front of people. I was way too shy.

I got out of the shower and headed towards my bedroom. Angie was on her bed, on top of her covers, knocked out. It must have been a long night for her. I went into my bedroom and got dressed in the familiar striped shirt and black pants. I put some conditioner in my hair. After applying some lip gloss, I left my room and headed towards the kitchen. I pulled out the leftovers and stuffed them in my bag. I picked up the car keys and slowly closed the door behind me, being careful not to wake Angie up. The drive to work was equally as quick. I got there about thirty minutes before my start time. I smiled as I leaned back in the car. I finally had some me time where I could just relax before I started my day dealing with crazy ass customers. The public could be real petty sometimes. It took a special type of person to work in retail.

And today proved to be one of those days.

From the minute I stepped in at work, it was nothing but bullshit. I never understood why people got off on treating those that work in retail with so much disdain. The over the top attitudes from these basic bitches was too much for me. I learned to control my temper but some things shouldn't be condoned. And if the attitudes from these DD's discounts ass bitches wasn't enough, our systems were down and all we could do was accept cash. No one carries cash anymore. So, when lunchtime rolled around, I knew I needed to calm myself down before I made a terrible mistake. I brought my lunch but I just couldn't stand the thought of even being in the building. So I decided to eat my lunch outside. It was early October which meant the weather was still good. It was be a month or so before we started seeing the first snow. I had to enjoy it as much as I could.
