The Pieces of Monroe

Piece One: Casino Royal

Monroe stretched her exhausted muscles and reached across the bed to shut off her alarm clock before it woke up her Xian. She looked down, at her baby, Xian sleeping peacefully not a care in the world displayed across her delicate features. Monroe reached a hand out and stroked the side of her daughters face and sighed. She couldn't stop the smile of joy that spread across her face like a wild fire. Just looking at her daughter could do that to her. Monroe slowly climbed out of the bed and crept to the shower.

She stood under the warm stream and let if glide the weight of the world off her shoulders. She didn't know why she was stressing anyway. She had everything she could ask for - nice condo in a decent neighborhood, her darling three year old daughter, a job where she made more than enough money, a cherry red Land Rover 4. She was doing the damn thang to be a 20 year old single mother. But for some reason she couldn't shake that sadness that went deeper, it was like an emptiness that ran to her toes. She let out a heavy sigh and finished washing away her warm vanilla body scrub before climbing out the shower. Monroe wiped the mirror and stood in front of it and examined herself. She looked down to her soft pink polished toes, and ran her eyes along her delicious legs and thighs, stopping slightly at her toning mid-drift, before moving to her perky ample breast. She turned slightly and looked at her blessed booty. Many people voiced that they believed it was fake, but little did they know it was all NAT-TUR-AL. She took her hand and ran it across her soft, voluptuous lips, as her deep mocha eyes stared right back at her. Monroe took one last longing look at herself before wrapping the town around herself and exiting the bathroom. She looked over at her bed and saw Xian still sleep on the bed, as she walked across the room into her closet. She picked out her ripped skinnies and crème colored blouse. She pulled it out and laid it on the bed and went back for her simple gold studs and crème colored toms. Monroe looked over at the clock and saw that she had about thirty minutes before eight, which was the time she needed to have Xian up and dressed. She moved to put on her vanilla scented lotion on, and moved back into the bathroom to straighten and slightly bump the ends of her hair and then slipped into her outfit. She moved around to look into the mirror behind her closet door. She ran her hands down her body, smiling in approval, before heading over to the bed to wake up Xian.

She reached her angel and softly began to wake her up.

"Time to get up Xian." Monroe cooed in her ear. She didn't receive any acknowledgement back from her so she began to wake her daughter up the only way she knew how. By tickling her, Monroe moved her hands to the side of Xian's body and began to work her magic. Almost instantly Xian was up and bursting in fits of laughter.

"Mowmee, mowee!! STWP WT! STWP WT Mowmee!!" Xian belted out in between fits of her laughter. Monroe could only laugh and smile along with her daughter, everyday she looked more and more like her and she couldn't be more happier. Before she gave up, Monroe lifted Xian out of the bed and pulled her to her chest for a good morning hug.

"Good Morning Xian. Time to get ready."

"But, but mowme I don't wanna go tw school todwy!" Xian said crossing her little chubby arms across her chest and setting her face in a cute pout. Monroe just about melted at the sight of her adorable daughter but she stood her ground. Monroe looked down at Xian and pulled Xian into her chest again. Monroe kissed her head before placing her on her feet and patting in the direction of the bathroom.

"If you get dressed for mommy, we can go for ice cream and a walk in the park after school today." Xian's whole face lit up at the simple suggestion. Xian hurriedly ran into the bathroom while Monroe walked out her room and down the hallway into Xian's room and into her closet to pull her out a pair of pink skinnies, a white razor tank, Xian's custom made pink, white, and grey Letter Men Jacket with her name on it and her grey and white Jordan 9s. Once Xian came in the room she made sure she was dressed properly before pulling Xian's butterscotch hair up into a donut and placing her simple silver studs in her ear. Monroe double checked all of Xian's stuff and made sure she had everything she was going to need before the two of them headed downstairs. Monroe walked into the kitchen and grabbed Xian's lunch and a light snack for breakfast. After locking up the house they hopped in the Land Rover and pulled out heading to Xian's school.
