Rough Life

Chapter 1

So now here I am 6 years later, I graduated school and got my own apartment. I left my mom and my childhood in D.C. I found a place in Maryland. My place was pretty nice. I decorated and it made it my own. The neighborhood was ok there was drama once in a while but where isn't there drama? So here I am the start of my new life. I found a job working as a file clerk at a law firm. One day I wanted to be a paralegal and help others. Also, make a lot of money for I could live a comfortable life. I was doing pretty well for myself for the most part

*******************************************************

Let me hurry up and get ready before Bri get here. Bri was my wife well best friend. We met my freshman year and been thick as thieves since. We're supposed to be having a girl's day. I don't feel like hearing her mouth when she gets here about me not being ready. When I got up I decided to make me a big breakfast. I like to pamper myself once in a while.

Since it's supposed to be 87 degrees today I decided on a pair of shredded high waist jeans, a crop top, and my red chucks. It was simple but cute. I had time so I made big volume curls in my hair. I actually got my hair how I wanted it for once. I knew Bri was going to come with her face all done up and beat so I did the same. By the time I was done my face was beat for the gods. I laughed at myself in the mirror. I was too much sometimes.

My phone rung, I knew it was Bri. I grabbed my keys and phone then I rushed down my apartment steps.

Wifeeeee!!!!!! You look cute

Thanks sweetie pie. You look good too

I hopped in but before I could even finish closing my door she pulled off. She takes any chance to show off her car. I can't lie it was a gorgeous car. She had a 2013 Infinity G. She had a pretty stable family and had a grandmother that would give her whatever she want. So money wasn't really an issue as you can see.

Bri broke me out my daze. So have you decided yet what you're doing for your birthday?

For your information yea, I actually have the whole thing planned out. I wanted to celebrate my B day for a whole week. Why stunt for a day when you stunt for a whole week.

We pulled up to the nail salon. I got a full set and claws. I chose a cute emerald color. Bri had some bedazzled shit on her nails. We defiantly had different views on how our nails should look.

After we left the hair salon we then went to TGIF.
All this ripping and running had me hungry.
It was happy hours so my ass was ordering drinks back to back. I knew a few people that worked there so I had the hookup.

I spotted this old ass man staring at me. He looked like a perv. He was just staring all creepy. After a hour I guess he thought I was drunk enough so he walked over.

Heaven must be missing an angle.

What?! Did he just use that corny tired ass line on me?

You look sweeter then a candy cane baby

Bri was across from me laughing hard as shit.

He tried to reach for my hand. He was real bold. Too damn bold!

I was too tipsy to be nice. I cleared my throat. Nigga don't you every try to touch me. I will taze and mase your ass so fast you won't know what happen till somebody is helping your ass off the floor. You're not my type and I'm way out of your league! So Vamos!

He walked away with a stink look on his face but I didn't care. I darted my eyes at Bri who was still laughing at me. I was ready to go so I flagged down a waiter for the bill.

All this ripping and running worn me out. Bri and I split the bill and left. We finally pulled up in front of my place.

Ok sweetie see you tonight at 8:30

Ok I'll try to be ready. I always take forever to get ready. Perfection is hard. We're going to Ibezia and meeting Erica and Kia there in VIP.

Ooo you got VIP

Yesss it's only right for my b day. Got to Turn Up! I started dancing in the seat.

Girl you stupid take your ass in the house.

Ok wife I chuckled see ya

Once I walked through the door I headed straight to my room ignoring the beeping from my answer machine indicating I had a message. I stripped out of my clothes and got right in bed.

2 hours later I had woken up and was starving I went to the kitchen and made a sandwich. I laid up on the couch and watched The First 48. People be snitching like shit on here. I watched enough crime shows to learn about my rights and how not to get caught up. Leave no witnesses or evidence. Point blank period. Ugh the stupid beeping got on my nerves I finally pushed play to hear the message.

Message 1: hey faith haven't heard from your beautiful ass. Hit my phone I wanna see you bae.

That was Mark. I haven't talked to him in a week. But that's usual for us. We weren't together no strings attached. Just hung out and chill. I do have a feeling sometimes that he wants more from me. The way he tries to show me off when we out or tell me what to do. But I wasn't having it. He was light skin, 5"6, nice curly hair and had a tongue given from heaven to do sinful things to a girl's body. Although he was pretty short for my taste his looks made up for that. But it still wasn't enough for me to fully commit to him. Mark had helped me get my apartment and get on my feet and I really appreciated that. Maybe that's why I'm so loyal to him. He saw something in me and picked me up at my lowest. He was going to be apart of my life regardless.
