What about the bad guy goes good

3.

I woke up to get ready for my shift at work not like I had had any sleep anyway. I went into my bag and grabbed my work attire and went to freshen up and change. Once I was ready to go I grabbed my overnight bag and started walking downstairs. I was on my way out the house.

"How did I know you were going to do this you've always been hard headed."

"What are you talking about mom?"

"The bag your staying here your not going back to that place you call home it's not fit for a queen."

"You can't tell me what to do and in case you haven't noticed I'm not a queen I'm not a princess I am not anything that's royal I am an ex -cocaine addict just trying to make a decent life for herself."

"And that's is exactly why your gonna stay here and save up your money so you can become royalty now give me the bag or I'm gonna find you and drag you back here."

"You wouldn't?"

"I've done it before young lady and I'll damn sure do it again especially when I'm trying to help."

"Ughhhhh!!!"

I walked back towards her and gave her my over night bag because if I stayed and argued with her I was gonna be late for my shift. I was on my way back out the house when she spoke up again.

"How are you getting to work?"

"The bus momma the thing I use to get everywhere."

"Take my car I don't want you on the bus."

She spoke as she began walking back upstairs.

"I'm not gonna take..."

She glared at me like "I wish you would say something else or Imma fly over there and beat your ass" so I shut up and grabbed the keys. She nodded her head and continued walking upstairs. I hated how one look or one word or anything she did could make me change my mind and become a little kid again I have gone through way too much to now all of a sudden be taken care of and pampered. I got into her car and drove off to work. I work at Waffle House so that's why my shift started at 4am because they never close so I can get as many hours as I want. I went into work and I began getting straight to work I cleaned up the counters washed the dishes and straightened up the tables. I then went to get the cleaning supplies and start cleaning the windows.

"Yo bey chill girl you been moving ever since you got here."

I looked over at my co worker and I knew by the voice it was Nicki.

"Girl you know we got the cleanest Waffle House in America and I plan to keep it that way now go back and flirt with meek some more I'm straight."

She dropped her Jaw and I laughed.

"Girl you know the whole company know you and meek got a thing stop acting shocked."

She shook her head "no" and continued to look in my direction.

"Yes y'all do stop denying it nic."

"No bey Jay."

I looked at her confused.

"Huh?"

"I think she's referring to me."

I immediately froze and tensed up. What was he doing here it's almost 5am why is he here.

"Kevin you've got a customer!"

I shouted trying to get away from him as fast as possible I don't know why but I every time I get around him I feel like a school girl all over again.
