My Hustle and Lover: COMPLETED ✅

Chapter 1

Samir Jackson POV

"Ms. Jackson you have a visitor" Trish my assistant said through the intercom.

"I have a meeting in 15 tell them they'll have to wait"

"It's your mother"

I sighed at fact that my mother was here. Every time she comes to my job it's always to harass the fuck out of me.

"Tell her to come in"

A few minutes later my office door opened up I didn't even bother looking up from my laptop.

"Hey mama"

"Is that how you greet your mother after going almost 6 months without speaking to her?"

Here we go again!

Standing up from my desk fixed my skirt. I walked over to my mother and hugged her.

"Sorry mama I just been real busy lately"

"To busy for your own mother?"

I sighed again.

"You know that's not what I'm saying mom."

"Mhm you always in this office when you going to find yourself a man and give me some grand kids"

"You already have two grand kids by Traci. And besides I'm too young and busy to be having kids right now"

"Girl you are 23 years old and I have yet to see you with a man ever! Are you gay? I mean Traci had JJ at 18 and I had her at 16 so I just don't....."

"NO MOTHER ! I'm not gay. Jesus! And that's the problem I don't want to be like you and Traci. Having babies at a young age struggling. That shit is crazy" I snapped.

My office grew quiet. I knew I hurt her feelings but she always do this.

"So having you, Traci, and Michael was crazy huh?"

"Mom I didn't mean..."

"You always so ungrateful" She cut me off.

"Ungrateful?"

"Ever since you were little. Running thinking you was so much better. Now look at you...lonely and then some."

I felt the tears building up in my eyes as my hands turned into fist. This isn't the first she has done something like this. But every time it still hurts.

Not saying another word to her, I logged out of my Laptop and started to gather my things.

"You can let yourself out mama....Love you"

I don't even give her a chance to respond because I knew she was going to try and give me some bull shit as apology.

"Trish can you cancel all my meetings for the rest of the day I'm leaving early."

"Ok Hun call me later on tonight"

I nodded and made my way to the elevator.

Trish is my friend well my only friend, my best friend. She knows how my mom is that's why she didn't question me right now.

My mother and I never really had the best relationship. Growing up life was good but I always felt like mom put Micheal and Traci before me. Maybe its because she cheated on their father with mine. Maybe she blames me for their father leaving even though my dad stayed and raised them like they were his own.

A couples years ago , right after I graduated high school my father died from cancer. That was the worst day of my life. My mother nor my brother or sister consoled me. Always feeling like the outsider made me want to get farther away from my family as possible. But when Micheal up and left out of nowhere and Traci started popping out kids , there was no one left to take care of my mother. So being the person I am I took it upon myself to step in. Does she thank me for it ? No ! I am still the outsider ? Of course. Even though Micheal left and Traci ain't doing shit for her its like they still walk on water and I don't deserve to be in their presence.
