"I can ask my dad for the money" Reggie stated on our walk to school

"You know I don't take handouts" I mumbled my family was bent on getting what they needed themselves, it was probably through stealing or scamming but we got through.

"It won't be a handout, think of it as a loan, that you don't have to pay back" he said trying to make the situation something different.

"That still sounds like a handout to me" I said while walking up the stairs to the school

"Please think about it" he said before giving me a kiss and heading towards his group of friends.

"I'm not going to" I mumbled to myself

"How much are we short of?" Ariana asked me that night

"Now 30 dollars, a guy at school owed me" I said while handing her the cash the guy gave me.

She stuff the money into the envelope and sighed heavily

"Did you raid Franks wallet?" She asked me while marking the new amount that we had on the front of the enevope

"Last night" I answered pridely

Reggie sat in front of me at lunch a big smile on his face. I raised an eyebrow at his sudden happiness.

"What?" I asked him while storing away my phone

He rumanged through his unorganized bookbag and pulled out a short yellow envelope. And held it out to me

"Whats this?" I asked him while eyeing the strange thing in his hands.

"Take it and open it" he order me, I slowly took the envelope and opened it.

Inside was two stacks of money, which usual in one stack is 500 dollars so two meant there was 1000 dollars. I didnt say anything I closed the envelope and slid it on the table back to him.

"No thank you" I said whole continuing to eat my lunch

"Take it" he said sternly and like he was dominate which turned me on because he's never the dominate one, I am.

"No thank you" I said again but more sternly

"Charlie" he said

"Reginald" I said

"Why won't you let me help you?" He asked me

"Because I don't need help" I said while ignoring the situation

"Yes you do and your ego is so big you cant accept that your boyfriend is trying to help you" he said and he seemed upset that I wasn't taking the money

"And you can't understand that I don't need help, not from your father, not from anyone, and especially not from you, now stop talking about it, take the money back, and eat lunch with me" I practically demanded and said sternly

He starred at me, instead of doing what I suggest he left the money on the table, grabbed his things and left the cafeteria.

I knocked on his front door, and he opened the door, in his pajamas. He had a lollipop hanging out of his mouth.

"What?" He mumbled while removing the lollipop, his tongue was red.

I held out the money envelope. And cringed when I said

"I only needed 100, the 900 is here" I said, I hated taking hand outs but I only took some of the handout.

He looked at me, then broke into a small smile. He stepped onto the porch and kissed my lips softly. Then again and again.
