This Life - Chapter Two
A Year Later
After school I went into Dre's room and did my homework, took me two hours almost, just to get it done, I made my way out of the room and into the living room. Dre' was sitting on the couch counting something.
"Who dat?" A guy with a green and white mowhawk in his head asked pointing at me.
"My girl," I wanted to crack a smile, Most guys would be like 'My bitch' or 'My hoe', but he said 'My girl'. Dre' looked at me and smiled, I saw his eyes go to my feet and back up."What's up ma?" He asked, looking back down at his stuff
"Uh, nothing, I just wanted to come see what you were doing." He smiled.
I made my way over to him and he pulled me into his lap, He kissed my jawline.
That night Dre' had went out with some of his friends. He let Danada my best friend come over and keep me company.
"So how does it feel to have a man taking care of you, giving you whatever you want and need?" She asked as I took some money out of Dre's jacket to order a pizza.
I looked at her like she was dumb."I love it, It's like he is treating me like a human being is suppose to be treated, Unlike how Shonda treated me." I thought back to all those days she abused me and cursed me. A month after I had been here with Dre', She was found in her bathroom, with her neck sliced."I am finally happy," I smiled.
About a hour in a half later the pizza arrived, I opened the door and handed him the money for it.
"Have you ever had sex with him?" I looked at her and gasped.
"Danada!" I yelled in shock of what she had asked me.
"Well have you?" She took a piece of pizza and shoved it into her mouth.
"Well, we have spooned, but he would never go that far until, I'm older" We both chuckled at my response.
"Have you and Murder?"
"Hell no, I'm waiting 'til marriage." She smiled all proudly.
Murder was a guy that worked for Dre' and when I brought Danada to the traphouse once, they kinda, hooked up. I remember that was the first time Dre' yelled at me, for bringing somebody he didn't know to his business establishment. He was like, "She could be undercover or some shit!" I cried all that night, Until he told me he was sorry and yada, yada, yada. He now tells me to be careful who I befriend and when I have her in his house make sure I watch her.
"Do you love him?" She asked out of nowhere.
"Of course I love him." I ate another peice of my pizza.
