I Stood Outside Of The Prison As I Waited For Him. Its Been 4 Years, 4 Years Apart From The Person I Love Oh So Much. 30 Minutes Has Passed And There I Seen Him Walking Out In A White Shirt And Some Jeans And White Nike's. A Huge Smile Spread Across My Face And I Ran Up To Him Giving Him The Biggest Hug I Could Give Anyone. "Shalana" He Whispered In My Ear. "Marlin" I Whispered Back. "Let's Go I Had Enough Of This Place". He Said
Shalana Nicole Jones Is My Name And I'm A Black Dominican Girl, Thick, Alot Of Hair And Average Female Height. I'm 22 Years Old And I'm Done With School No I Didn't Decide To Go To College Because When The Love Of My Life Got Taken Away I Didn't Care About Anything Else But Him.

It Was The Summer After We Were Done With Highschool And We Were Outside Of My Grandma Porch Just Chillen. "Soo Babe What You Plan On Doing Now That We Are Done With School" I Asked Marlin. "Imma Keep On Hustling, What Else? He Said. "Omg No College Or Nothing? Arent You Tired Of This Drug Shit? Don't You Have Enough Money?" I Ask. "Noo Babe, There's No Such Thing As Enough Money" He Replied Bringing Me To His Lap And He Kissed My Neck . We Sat In Silence And Then Out Of Nowhere Police Cars After Police Cars Started Pulling Up.
"What's Going On" I Said . I Got Pushed Off Marlin Lap And Officers Dropped Him On The Ground Putting Hand Cuffs On Him. "Mr.Marlin Smith You Are Under Arrested For Distribution You Have The Rights To Remain Silent Anything You Say Can And Will Be Use Against You In The Court Of Law You Have The Right To An Attorney. If You Cannot Afford An attorney, One Will Be Provided For You. Do You Understand The Rights I Have Just Read To You?” The Officer Said. "Whatever" Marlin Replied.
He Just Starred At Me With Apologizing Eyes And I Was There In Tears Just Thinking. "Damn They Got My Baby".

Flashback Over
"Still Thinking About That Day" Marlin Asked Me As We Drove To My House. "Yeah" I Said Wiping Off A Tear From My Eye. "I'm Good Babygirl, I Won't Go Down Like That Again " He Said Rubbing My Thigh. "Damn Kidd You Got Thick" He Said Eyeing Me. "Yeah You Know I Work Out And Stuff, I Got My Own Gym In My House" I Said Pulling Up To My Big Mansion I Parked In My Spot And Got Out And Marlin Followed.
"Damn You Got Money Huhh?" Marlin Asked. "You Don't Know Half Of It" I Said Unlocking My Door. "Jadeeeee, Daynaaaa I'm Home " I Screamed. "Come On Babe Follow Me To My Room" I Said Going Up The Stairs. My Room Was Enormously Big, It Was Like Three Bedrooms Put Together . It Had Two Large Closet And A Huge Bathroom. I Opened One Of The Closets. "Surprise" I Said. The Closet Was Filled With Designer Clothes And Shoes And Jewelry All For Him. All That Hustling I Did I Saved Up All My Money And Bought Him Things.
"Okay Shower Up Imma Go Get Dinner Ready" I Said Walking Out Of The Room. Not Only Was I Gonna Get Dinner Ready I Was Gonna Call Up His Homeboys So They Can Catch Up . It Was About Only 4 Boys. I Had Already Cooked All I Had To Do Was Prepare The Plates. 45 Minutes Later Marlin Came Down In A White T And True Religion Jeans And White Air Forces And His Jewelry That I Got Him. Marlin Was Good Looking He Was Light Skinned Straight From Belize He Had Good Soft Hair Soo Even Without A Hair Cut His Hair Was Good. "How Did You Know My Size?" He Said Sitting Down At The Table.
"Idk, I Guess I Just Know You Like That" I Said. There Was A Knock At The Door . "Marlin Can You Get The Door" . I Purposely Told Him To Answer The Door Knowing That His Friends Were Coming By. I Heard Laughing And Them Dapping Up. They All Came From The Door And Sat At The Table. It Was 3 Of Them. Jordan, Aden And Chris. Jade Was Jordan Girlfriend And Dayna Wasn't With Nobody She Was Just Trifling Like That.
Jade And Dayna Came From Upstairs And
Sat At The Table. "Heyy Yall " Dayna Said. "Wait Hold Up Who This Shalana?" She Asked " My Boyfriend" I Said As I Handed Everyone A Plate. "From Prison Right?" Jade Asked. "Yess He Is Back " I Said. "Got A Fine One In Your Hands" Dayna Said. "Don't I Always" I Replied. " What's That Suppose To Mean?" Marlin Asked "Nothing Babe" I Said As I Began Eating.
We Were Talking And Catching Up With Each Other When Marlin Changed The Subject. "Thought I Wasn't Gonna Find Out Chris" ? He Asked. My Heart Dropped For A Second. "I Was Down For Your Ass And I Help You When Yo Mama Couldn't Pay The Bills, And You Repay Me By Snitching To The Cops?" He Asked. We All Stayed Quiet And Starred At Chris.
"Bruhh I'm Sorry I Had A Jitt On The Way I Couldn't Go Down The Way You Did" Chris Said. "Its All Good, The Trust I Got For Jordan And Aden Will Never Be The Trust I Got For You, Matter Fact I Don't Trust You At All, You. Can Get Out Now" Marlin Said
"Alright Bruh, Shalana Let Me Holla At You Real Quick" Chris Said. I Got Up But Marlin Dragged Me Back Down. " Sit Your Ass Down". Marlin Said And I Just Sat There. "Whatever" Chris Said And Heading Out The Door. We Sat There In Silence And My Phone Vibrated From My Lap. I Picked It Up And Read The Text Message I Received.
"Me Or Him" He Texted Cutting Straight To The Point. "Chris What Are You Talking About?" I Asked. "I'm Not Gon Keep Messing With You While You Playing House With That Clown" Chris He Replied.
"Noo , Chris I Told You Weeks Ago That I Was Cutting Things Off With You When Marlin Gets Here And Now That I Found Out That You Did That Shit To Him, I'm Really Ain't Fucking With Your Ass No More" I Replied Back.
When Marlin Left, I Had Nothing And Chris Provided Things For Me Along With Two Other Men I Met And My Stripping Job That's How I Saved Up To Live The Way I'm Living Right Now. I Have Bank Accounts Filled With Money.
"Alright Remember That Shit Shalana" Chris Text And I Didn't Reply Back. I Shook My Head And Went Back To Eating. Everyone Was Basically Done Eating And Was Ready To Leave But Marlin Stayed There Starring At Me. "What?" I Asked. " Who You Was Texting"? He Asked. "One Of My Homegirls, If You Think Its Chris Your Wrong I Don't Even Have His Number" I Said While Locking My Phone.
"Umm Well Okay I Need To Meet Up With Someone Yall I'll Be Back" Dayna Said Getting Up , Jordan And Jade Was Already Heading Up To Her Room And Aden Followed Dayna Out The Door.
I Put The Dishes In The Washer And Went Upstairs To My Room And Marlin Was Layed On The Bed. I Straddle On Top Of Him And Began Kissing Him, That Led Us To Undressing And Undressing Led To Something Else. I Had A Hell Of A Night.
