The Struggle

Stalker Much?

After i cleaned all that shit up lastnight i showered and got in the bed. Mama called and checked on me she is so ready for me to come home. Daddy died awhile ago and he was a drug lord he left me ALOT of money. Im set for life but i still choose to make my own. The money daddy gave me is for emergencies and shopping sometimes. Mama was scared i would fall for a thug. And i did but i didnt get a good thug like daddy was i got a bitch instead.

Im 22 and this is my last year of college. I attend Cosmotology Etc.(made up) I plan on being a beautition. My bestfriend Gabby and i are going to open our own salon when we graduate.We have been planning this since we were 9 years old playing with our barbies hair.Time to turn dreams into reality.

This morning when i woke up Blake still wasnt home. I really dont care. My main focus is leaving him. I threw on some jeans and a hoodie. I tied  up the hoodie so you couldnt see the bruises on my neck and the cuts on my arms from the glass. I had to put on kinda heavy make up to cover all of the bruises but im dark so its not as easy to tell that im bruised.I checked the time it was 8:30. I didnt have to be to to school until 9:45 so i went into Starbucks ordered a coffee and a brownie then sat down at a table pulled out my laptop and earphones and did some work on the computer until someone sat in the chair across from me. I looked up to see that fine boy that i bumped into at the mall. "Hello beautiful."

"Are you stalking me?" i say taking out my earphones giggling.

"No i came in here to get some coffee just like you did but i seen you so i thought i should come talk to you and picked up where we left off from at the mall."

"I dont think that would be a smart idea."

"This has to do with that nigga at the mall doesnt it?"

"Well he is my boyfriend."

"He dont treat you right.I can tell."

"And how is thar Mr....." i said trailing off not knowing his name.

"My name is Kason. (kay-son)" What about you he said extending his hand.

"Aniyah."

"Ok Aniyah. I can tell because first off you are wearing a sweatshirt nd its not even that cold out. Second you have a busted lip and way too much make up on. Youre too pretty for all that make up."He said looking me in my eyes taking another sip of his drink."Am i lying?" he asked.

"Why are you so interested in me?" i asked kinda changing the subject.

"You deserve better than what that nigga can give you and is already giving you which im pretty sure all he gives you is drug money anyways." How does he know all of this stuff and why am i feeling him? This is crazy and he has an accent its real sexy sounds like he from Louisiana.(He sounds like August Alsina. Ok guys? Ok.)

"What do you do for a living?"

"I own a restaurant and a bar."

"Cool.What kind of restaurant?"

"We sell Cajun food.Im from Nola baby."Ohh this accent is too sexy.

"Where are they located?"

"Houston."

"Ayee im from there."

"So you can come visit me then." He said telling me rather than asking me.

We talked for a little while longer and got to know eachother. I kinda like him. He is a real gentleman and is really sweet.

"Well i got to get going beautiful." he said reaching over and grabbing my phone which doesnt have a password. I made a mental note to put a password on my phone while he typed in and saved his number.He called himself on my phone then saved my number to his phone. He got up slipped his phone in his pocket grabbed his drink and walked over to me and planted a kiss on my neck. "Ill text you tomorrow. Im going to take you out to lunch." and with that he was gone. I ran my fingers across my neck where he had kissed me and a smile appeared accross my face. Is this normal? I have a good feeling about him. I packed up my laptop and belongings and went to school. Today was a breeze because we were learning how to braid and i learned how to braid when i was 13. When class was over my bestfriend Gabrielle or Gabby for short came over to me. "Hey boo."

"Wassup girl."

"Nun much. Why you got on this damn sweatshirt."

"Cause im cold."

"Yea right. Blake again?"

"Yes."

"We goin to lunch to discuss this."

(At the restaurant)

We get to Olive Garden and get seated now we are just talking.

"Why wont you leave him?"

"I tried and he beat my ass."

"You need a man that will fight for you not against you."

"Well i met this one guy. He is fine. I mean FINE gurl.Caramel skin and he is tall. He taller than Blake so imma say 6'3-6'4, dreads,pearly white teeth,hazel eyes and dimples."

"Yo ass just cant stop smiling. Thats good. When do i get to meet this fellow?"

"We havent really went out our done anything yet but if we start talking and get serious you will meet him."

"Aight bet." The food arrived and we dug in. When we finished we said our goodbyes.

"I want details on yall little lunch date."

"Aight guh.Bye"On my way home i had to stop by the store to pick up some more make up and neosporin. I get home and  Blake is there sitting on the couch on his phone. "Hey Blake."

"Hey baby. What took you so long?"

"Me and Gabby had lunch and then i stopped by the store to get a few things."

"Oh aight.Wachu cooking tonight."

"Chicken."I cooked dinner for us and we enjoyed a nice meal without any altercations.I was just excited about my date with Kason tomorrow. I showered then went straight to bed. The faster i get today over with the quicker i get to go on my 'date'.

"Niyah!!"

"Im in the room."

"Why you in bed so early?"

"Im tired had a long dat at school."

"Ohh aight well i gotta spend a night at work tonight and steak out cause folks fuckin with my money."

"Mmkay." i said getting out of bed kissing him.He squeezed my ass causing me to gasp and he slipped his tounge in my mouth. When we broke the kiss he left and i was here by myself just the way i like. See its times like those that i miss when he is all sweet. But they dont last for long he always finds a reason to hit me its like im his stress ball or something. I cant take this shit anymore. I still love him but the love isnt as strong. He doesnt know how to love. I layed down thinking about if i should stay with him maybe he would stop if i got help for him, help for us or should i try with Kason he is really sweet and i dont have to worry about if he is gonna get killed while he is at work. I layed there thinking about everything until my phone interrupted my thoughts. I looked over and saw that i had a text message. I unlocked my phone and saw that it was from Kason.

Kason:Are we still on for lunch?

Me:Of course. Text me the address in the morning and ill meet you there.

Kason:Aight nite beautiful.

Me:Gnight.

I couldnt help but smile and blush when he called me beautiful. I think that him texting we was a sign that i need to move on with my life.
