[On Hold] NOWHERE : Zonnique Pullins Stripper Story (new)

Struggling

"I can't watch him anymore," My girl Rezzi say as she puts her loose contents that fell out of her purse back.

"Wait, what! Why?" I say as I touch Demetri's head. He's asleep on the couch.

"Zonnique! Why? Because for the past 2 months I've been watching him and through those two months you tell me a time your coming home and don't come home until hours after that! I have a life too. Today you been gone from 11AM to and its 11PM right now. You said you were coming home at 7. I had a blind date tonight and now I can't go."

"Oh.. I'm sorry..." I hesitate.

"Yeah whatever. Just take him back to that Child Care Service."

"I owe them too much! I am not making enough to keep going there! He only goes there when he needs to."

"Well then, Zo, I don't know what to tell you." She puts her purse on her shoulder then walks out of my house.

GOD DAMMIT!

I carry Demetri up to his room so he can sleep. Then i put a cup of water on his bedside table. I change into a pair of highwaist shorts and an aztec tank top with my wedge sneakers then I put my hip length blue curly wig on. I used to have my real hair died blue, then when I died it blonde my hair stylist said i shouldn't color it anymore so I can maintain my healthy, below shoulder hair length.

I grab my keys and my phone, then leave the house. I lock up then head down the street, take a left turn, then cross the street and take the first immediate turn on my right.

In just seconds the nice area I was just in is turned into a hood nightmare. Sluts, whores, hoes, prostitutes and whatever else you call them, are all on the streets. 5 blocks of pure evil. Aside from the women selling theirselves; this area is also the area for most crack dealers to live and most gunnings go down here.

I put my keys and phone in my back pocket then stands next to a lightpole closest to the street.

My stomach starts grumbling... I've only been out here for not even 10 minutes and I'm already hungry? Well.. I haven't eaten all day..

A nice ass car rolls down the street. Black Cadillac SUV. He rolls up to me and puts his passenger side window down to talk to me.

"You need help?" He asks.

"The fuck? No." I reply back.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm trying to help." He defends himself. I look at him. He looks familiar... He's wearing a nice black suit.

"Well, help with some food or money." I cross my arms and shift all my weight onto my left leg.

He pulls his wallet out and holds out a card. I reach my hand inside of his car to grab it. Once i have it i look at it.

A grocery store card. $45. What am I supposed to do with this? I can't pay my sons day care fee with this??

"Thanks." I give the man the biggest fake smile I can then put the food card in my back pocket.

"I hope thats enough. If not, I drive past here a lot. Just stop me and I'll help you out." He rolls his car window up then keeps driving.

Fuck being out here... I turn to slowly walk back home.

Once I get inside I lock the door and lay on the couch.

I pull my phone and the food card out of my pocket then I look at the money I made tonight from the club.. I made $245 tonight... I can give the daycare their $150 then use the $45 off the card for food and I'll still have $95 dollars. Yes, that works.

Okay. Okay. I have a plan. I shall follow it.

I close my eyes, yawn, then slowly i drift asleep.
