The Exchange

"Mama can we please go get something to eat? I haven't ate in a week!

Kalani, I don't really give a fuck we about to go to Rico house cause I gotta get my  fix and we leaving, if I don't have to eat then you don't eat either your little fat ass don't need to eat anyway lets go."

My friends never have to go through this and at school I have to act like I never have to see my mama sniff stuff up her nose. I know its wrong because I see it on movies and I see how she act after she get out of that room with all those men. My teacher says a 17 year old shouldn't have to go through stuff like this and I don't want to but I love my mama and I feel like if I leave her then she might die from doing too much drugs.

-Kalani!!! Kalani!! bring your dumb ass back to fucking reality!

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her "yes ma'am?"

Ill be back, I'm going in here to do what I gotta do and then we going back home

~but mama how you gonna do drugs and you don't have no money? if you do can I please go get something to eat?

*SMACK*

-What the fuck did I say about talking back to me and asking these fucking questions? I'm grown bitch and when you get grown then you can ask questions.

I sat on the stoop and cried, she knocked on the door and was greeted by my big cousin Saint. He was real dark with gold teeth, tall with dreads that stopped at his shoulders. He was always nice to me and made me sit on his lap when I got to go in that house with my mama, I never thought anything of it, I was just happy that somebody was nice to me for once.

-Hey Lani, how you doing baby girl? Saint said with a grin

~I'm fine!

-Yeah you is.

Him and my mama walked in the house and I sat on that stoop for hours. I played two square with the kids in the neighborhood and when I thought my mama was ready to come back out I ran back to the stoop so I can help her for when she falls down the steps. Every time I would go back to the stoop thinking she would come out but she never did so I went to play every time. I heard my name and jumped so hard because I knew I was going to get a whooping if I wasn't on that stoop when she got out that house.

-Kalani Sade where the fuck are you? I ran to the stoop as fast as I could.

~I'm right here mama, you ready to go?

-Kalani you not going with me you staying with Saint. I got shit to do I'll see you when I see you. Bye

I was so confused she must have saw it on my face so she started to explain to me that she don't want to go without her drugs so she just sold me to my cousin so she can get it anytime she wants for free. I don't really know why but I was relieved! My cousin was nice and I just know that he'll take care of me the right way. I just looked at him as he talked to the man that was on the stoop, he told me to get in the car so we could go. We stopped at the corner store and he told me to get whatever I wanted so I took advantage and go a lot off snacks, I should've known that I had to pay for it later.

I was quiet the entire ride there, thinking about how can my mama be so mean and just leave me but then I realized that she didn't really love me the way I wanted her to. When reality set in I started to shed a couple tears but quickly wiped them away, I didn't want Saint to think I was ungrateful when I was.

Saints POV

Kalani was sitting in that seat looking good as hell not even going to play with you. I tried to get out of that life but man that shit is hard as fuck with all these yamps running around looking grown as hell. Ain't no way that a 17 year old girl should have a fat ass like kalani do, but aye I'm loving the view.

-Lani wassup mamas what you wanna do?

-You wanna go to my house?

Kalani was quiet and looking out the window, this little bitch is being ungrateful as hell.

-"Kalani you being ungrateful as hell, I hear yo ass crying over there. You should be fucking happy somebody got yo ass from that fucking crack head mama of yours!

~I'm sorry I just don't know what I did for her to just give me up and I didn't do anything for her to do that

-ah shit Lani its cool that's what crack heads do, they don't think about shit but drugs. Ima take care of you though mamas.

We pulled up to my mansion I pressed the button on my sun visor to open the third garage door so I can park in it. We sat in the car for a minute in silence, I really did feel bad for Kalani because shouldn't no kid go through what she have and now she gonna have a good life only if she act right and she young so she can catch on quick to these fucking rules, it wasn't like your normal don't eat in my front room kinda rules, more like before you fix your plate you fix mine and suck my dick before you give me my plate kinda rules and she was gonna learn that shit quick.

-Aye listen, it's gonna be some rules man.

she gave me her full attention with her big brown eyes and my dick jumped.

-Have you ever heard of a sex slave?

~No.... she said scared

-Calm down it aint that bad, have you ever had sex?

~no

~Damn, well you gonna start tonight, you a virgin so yo shit tight as fuck. Everything you do you gonna do for me: No school, No friends, No phone. You got a TV in your room and you got full access to all parts of the house. You gonna suck my dick when I tell you to, you gonna let me fuck when I tell you I'm ready and that mean any time of the day. When I have company over you cater to them as if you are a server at a restaurant, you are not to have sex with them and you gonna where this collar.

I handed the collar to her and she looked confused.

-Put that on it got a tracking device in it in case you wanna fuck around and run away take off all your clothes before you go in the house, no clothes in this house. Lets go.

She walked in front of me and I slapped her ass.

Yeah that ass is mine now.
