Danelle -

I was so excited to be here in Los Angeles. It was so beautiful out here. A breath of fresh air. I was ready for my new beginnings. As I stepped into the small kitchenette of my apartment, I reached for a glass and my bottle of Moscato. I reached for my remote and turned my wall mounted flat screen TV on.

Just then Mary J Blige's song No Drama came on. "Yasss hunny, no drama in this bitch," I said as I took several sips of my wine. I placed my glass down and walked over to the fridge. Feeling hungry I grabbed the small bag of party wings inside of my fridge. I reached in my cabinet and grabbed some flour and seasoning.

Wanting some honey barbecue wings, I grabbed the sweet baby rays sauce along with the honey inside of my pantry. I grabbed my deep fryer and then I began to season as well as marinate my wings. I grabbed potatoes from out the fridge and got started on cutting my fries.

Ty Dolla $ign's song Sitting Pretty came on and all of a sudden I started slow winding, and twerking. "Aye!" I said as I dropped it low to the ground while looking back at my booty.

I started laughing at my silly ass as I stood up moving my hips. I honestly swear I've never been this damn happy before. I liked this side of me. It was time for the old Danelle to be gone and the new Danelle to appear. All though I couldn't lie, I missed my boo but this nigga just wasn't acting right.

Damn near forty and still trying to be a hoe. I just wanted him to act right and be mines, so that we could be a family, but i guess that wasn't on his mind and I'm most definitely cool with that.

After my food got done I poured me another glass of Moscato and went outside on my balcony. Just as I started eating my phone started ringing. I went to reach for it and saw Terrance's name flash across my screen.

"The hell he want?" I asked to myself knowing damn well I was glad he was calling me. I sat there staring at the phone not once picking the phone up. I sighed and turned the phone off. I finished eating and then went back inside.

I went into the kitchen and cleaned up dishes right before wrapping my hair and getting my shower. Once I got out the shower I dried off and put my phone on charge. After taking my vitamins I climbed in bed and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, after getting dressed I grabbed my kit with all my knifes along with my chief hat. I smiled and in the mirror as I placed my apartment keys inside my jacket. I grabbed my keys and left.

I pulled up to the restaurant parking lot in my reserved parking spot. "Chief Guidry, now I can get used to that," I smiled as I cut the engine down.

I got out the car and walked inside the restaurant. I walked over to the kitchen entrance and swiped my ID.

"Morning Danelle," Chief Greene spoke the minute he saw me enter the kitchen. I couldn't help but smile as he stood before me flashing a perfect set of pearly whites.

"Good morning," I replied while checking him out. He really did make that Chief's uniform look good. He was the perfect shade of Carmel, with beautiful hazel eyes, and deep dimples when he smiled, along with neat corn rolls. Whoever braided his hair did the damn thing.

"You ready to get started?" He asked as he grabbed his clip board.

"Of course, what's on the menu for today?" I asked as I walked past him checking out the many cooking appliances that I was about to use today.

"Seafood, the party ordered several different dishes with shrimp, shrimp fried rice, shrimp Alfredo, along with chicken Alfredo, Shrimp Des' it's an Italian shrimp soup," He replied as he helped himself by checking out Danelle's rear end.
