Loyalty V/S Love Reloaded

Chapter 4- The Beginnings of a power couple

"China you got a call its Prehmium."

Rhondae' sang as she waved the phone outside the bathroom door where China was flat ironing her hair.

 "Hello?"

  "Wassup China Doll?" He called her China Doll because when she wore bangs she looked like one of those porcelain dolls.

  "Nothing, baby was good?"

 "You as usual, what you on today can you get free?"

 "Yeah, I'm sure I can pull something what you tryna do?"

"I just want to spend some time with you."

 "Okay imma go talk to Ms. Lucille and get a pass."

 "Ight cool bae just hit me back when you get it."

China finished up her hair so she could go talk to Ms. Lucille . In the group home all the teens have an assigned case manager/therapist. Half of the girls had Ms. White who was strict and by the rules but luckily for China she had Ms. Lucille . Ms. Lucille was cool and everybody's favorite even though she was in charge of the girls in a sense she still understood what it was like to be a teenager. When China first came she told her story.

Ms. Lucille used to live with her mom and three younger brothers. Her brothers were six months, three, and seven years of age. She cared for them the majority of the time. Her mom, like China's, was addicted to crack cocaine. One day when Ms. Lucille was around twelve her mom was getting high with some of her friends. The babies had a doctor's appointment later that day so she made her friends leave and went to give the boys a bath. By the time Ms. Lucille got home from school her mom was in the living room on the floor in the corner getting high again. She asked her mom where the boys were after not seeing them in their room and she told Ms. Lucille she put them in the tub for a bath at one thirty. Seeing as how it was now four in the evening Ms. Lucille rushed to the bathroom only to find the boys dead under the water with bruises around their necks. She called the police and they took her mother to jail and placed her in a similar group home. When her mom went to court she told the judge that the little boys wouldn't stop crying about the water being too hot so she held their heads under the water so they would get used to it. Her phone ring so she left to answer it and forgot the boys were in the tub.

 She was sentenced to life in prison for three counts of murder and three counts of child endangerment and neglect of a minor. She was two months into her sentence when an inmate who had killed her husband for beating her kids stabbed Ms. Lucille 's mom in the showers. Ms. Lucille stayed in the group home until she was eighteen. She then went off to college got her degree, and has been working with kids ever since.

Since she was in her office with the door closed China knocked and looked through the opened blinds on her doors. Ms. Lucille waved her to come in, China sat down in the comfy chair as she finished her call.

  "What can I do for you today Ms. China?"

 "Ms. Lucille I was wondering if I could get a three hour pass today to go to the Boys and Girls Club to see Ms. Tasha?"

 

Ms. Tasha was a mentor that worked at the club down the street that kids could talk to. China sometimes went to talk to her about Prencess and sometimes she just used her as a way to get a pass with Prehmium.

  "What's going on China something wrong?"

  "No Ms. Lucille I just wanted to talk to her about a dream I had."

 She would prefer China to talk to her but as long as she was talking to someone about her issues she was fine for now.

"Well normally China you know you have to ask a day before for a pass but I'll grant you this one."

 She wrote out the pass and told the staff China was free to go from three to six p.m. She thanked her and walked out the office to finish getting dressed. When she got back in her apartment she called Prehmium. It was only two then so he agreed he would pick her up from the club's parking lot in an hour. Lucky for her they never called Ms. Tasha to see if she ever went or she would be in some shit.

 She got dolled up as usual, slipped on her Chanel frames and was downstairs to sign out for her pass by two forty-five. They normally smoked weed on her passes so she always took her shades so they couldn't see her eyes when she got back. She strolled to the club and Prehmium was already sitting there in his Altima looking sexy as usual. She hopped in the car and they were off.

 "Where we going baby?"

  "Our uncle has a house not too far from here on Halstead he lets us use nobody is there so we can have some privacy."

 As they drove listening to R. Kelly's TP3 cd China stared out the window until they arrived fifteen minutes later. He opened her door and they went in the apartment. It wasn't too bad inside, the living room it had a twenty-seven inch big body TV, a DVD player, and a PlayStation 3 hooked up to it. Furniture wise there were two black leather couches and a small coffee table. Prehmium went to the frig and grabbed a Natural Ice for him and handed China a Mt. Dew, he pulled out two blunts and a dime bag of kush. After rolling up the sticky they smoked while watching The Nutty Professor on tv. By the second blunt China was high as a kite and had a tingling feeling between her legs. Stealing a look at Prehmium she could tell the way his eyes were glossy and low he was high too. His hand slid on to her thigh and he leaned in to kiss her. China felt knots in her stomach since she was still a virgin but was sure this was the day Prehmium would be her first.

 "If you're scared China Doll I can wait. There's no rush baby I just want you to be comfortable."

 "I'm ready Prehmium."
