Stuck Between The Two (1st)

Chapter 8

Jasmine
I'm finally back to work today. I don't want to be here but I got bills to pay. I work in the mall at Bath and Body Works. I don't know where Des is, she went home last night and didn't answer when I called this morning. I'll see her later though.

"What's up Jas?" I turned to look at Tia looking cute. "Hey Tia, what you want?" She shook her head. "You rude just like yo damn girlfriend. Shit I can't speak?" I sighed. "Sorry hunni, how you doing? Sleep good last night? And she not my girlfriend." She started smiling. "You tryna be funny, its cute though. When you gone let me take you out?" I looked around the store and tried to stay as calm as possible. "When you gone stop trying? You not taking me out, I'm not coming to your house, nothing. You cool people but its nothing like that." She sucked her teeth. "Whatever then, bye Jas." I waved a cute lil wave as I went back to organizing the shelf's. 3 o'clock need to bring that ass on.

Des
I saw Jas call but I was busy putting in work on myself. I been super horny since we had sex. I won't tell her that though. I got up and showered then put on some clothes, I decided to keep it simple today. I put on my grey, white, and black Nike bra, my black basketball shorts with my white tank top, black and white Nike socks with my black and white Nike shoes. I look good as hell. I decided to put my hair up in a ponytail with my diamond earrings Jas bought me for my birthday. After spraying my favorite perfume and putting on my favorite necklace I grabbed my keys and headed towards the door.

"Where the hell you think you going?" I sighed and stopped in my tracks as I heard my mom slur. "I'm going to the mall to see Jas at work." She stumbled over towards me. "You think you fucking grown Desi, but let me tell yo fast ass something. You not ! You ain't shit, just like ya no good daddy outchea cheating on me." I fought back tears. "Take ya skinny ass on, need to gain some damn weight then maybe you can get somebody that actually want ya hot tail ass." I didn't say another word, I just walked out the house and got in my 2007 black Honda Accord with tan interior. I'm tired of her talking down to me, maybe my daddy will let me stay wherever he staying at. I cant deal with my mama. Its crazy that the woman who gave birth to me does everything she can to kill my pride and self esteem. I got to do something quick. This not gone work.
