What The Business Did To Me

Before

      He pulled up to his apartment and parked the car, "I wanted to go to my house," I reminded him. "Well, you not, so shut up." 

"Dedrick, let me go home."

 "I don't think so. Now, get yourself up to that door and shut up," he ordered. I unbuckled and got out of the car. I couldn't live like this. I wanted out of this.

"Just to let you know, you ain't going home, anytime soon, so make yourself at home," he said.

         I cuddled up on the couch, with a blanket and went to sleep. I was in a deep sleep, until I felt someone pick me up and toss me onto a bed, "What!" I screamed.

"Hey, hey,hey," they said, calmly, "It's Sayvon from school. Quiet down. We haven't even gotten started yet. You can't be gettin' loud, just yet," he explained. I sat up quick, me and him face to face, until he pushed me back down on the bed. 

I put my hands of his shoulders, "Hey," I said, sternly, to get his attention.

"What?" he sounded annoyed.

"Please don't do this to me. Please," I begged.

"Girl, shut up. You know how long I've been waiting to get a hold of you?"

"I don't really care how long. Please. I'm tired and I just wanna sleep. Just leave me alone." 

"Man, forget this. I ain't got time for this. He ain't getting his money, either," he started to walk towards the door, before I got up and stopped him in his tracks, "Look Sayvon, he's gonna beat me, if you go out there and tell him I didn't let you hit. Please don't say anything. He'll beat me," I said.

"Well, may be you should've thought about that, before you started refusing," then he shoved me out the way and left out the door.
