This Is Me ( stud x fem )

Chapter 34 - Christmas Eve Eve

Christmas Eve-Eve
Mo

Hey yall! Ya missed me? Smooches! I miss yall too! Okay. It's been much too long, dude. Let me shed some light on the situation.

When I left, or when Summer left, yall knew me as Mo, that trapper, that stem, Dee's girl. Well shit, when Summer left, Ray went to jail so trapping is out. I had to make money somehow. I became a stripper and had a baby so I don't have time for relationships or being a "stem" anyways with a job and a baby. Dee's girl? Dee got deported when she came back, she was all rich and successful with her own building and shit. How could I approach her as a stripper? I cant.

So, I moved on to other things, like Summer's cousin from the Caribbean that stays in New York with her, Renzy. She's obsessed with me, but I can't find me giving myself to her.

I lay on Renzy ' s bed half naked. I got out of the shower right before her.

She walks out of the shower now, biting her lip. "Damn, girl. Why you do that to me, with yo fine ass?"

I laugh. "Stop staring at my ass, Renzy."

Renzy smiles. "I can't help that it's there." She lays beside me. "You are so beautiful to me. I love you."

I roll my eyes. "I'm a stripper with a kid. Stop tryna get yourself into my shit. You too young for me anyways."

She looks at me. "I think you good as fuck at what you do. Being a stripper and being a mom." She hugs me and kisses my forehead.

My phone rings. It's Daniel. Daniel is baby daddy that I'm staying with in his house. Argg.

Renzy looks at my phone and rolls my eyes. " You still fucking with that fuck nigga?" she asks, getting annoyed, grabbing my phone.

"I stay with him, Renzy! Where you want me to stay? I ain't got no money! And plus, that's Danielle's daddy!"

She throws the phone at me. "You made $3500 just tonight, Monique. That's bullshit!"

I answer the phone, not wanting to hear Daniel's mouth about me not doing that. "Hello."

Daniel sounds worried. "Damn, Mo. Where you at? I been looking for you. Your friend Chassidy said you got off like two hours ago."

"I'm fine." I laugh. "Summer's in town. I cane to see my bestie!" Okay. Technically, I'm not lying. That's true.

Daniel sighs. "Alright. Well, where's Dani [Danielle, my daughter]?"

"She's at Chassidy's, but hey, look, I got to go."

We end our conversation.

Renzy walks back into the room with boxers on. "He hit you?" she asks.

I freeze, but then roll off the bed trying not to react. "No," I say nonchalantly lying.

Renzy stops going through her mail and drops it. "Mo, I swear to God! If he's hitting you-"

"He's not!" I yell. "Damn."

She picks it back up. "Mo, I will beat his ass, on my mama grave, ya feel me? Is he hitting on you?!"

I shake my head, but I guess I took to long.

"Mo! Why you ain't tell me?" she asks.

"It's only when he's high on that stuff!" I say. "If he's not high, he's wonderful."

Christmas Eve
Double

I drive onto my street, thinking about last night. 'Damn,' I think. 'What in the hell is wrong with me.'
