Big Aint Bad

Chapter 1.

Armani

*Ring-Ring*

My phone rings. I glance over at clock & it reads 3:47 AM. I answer.

"This is Dr. Stevens".

"It's me Dr. Stevens!" "She's coming!" "NOW!"

"I'll be there as soon as possible." I told my patient.

Ugh. Out of all the careers I had to pick being a doctor. Hell OBGYN at that. Don't get me wrong i love my job. But I've worked 30 hours non stop with little to no naps in between. My patients have been popping babies out left & right.

I drag out of bed. Quick shower, slip on my scrubs & Nike running shoes. Brushed My teeth & put my mid back length hair in a high neat bun for work. Then i grabbed my keys & got into my 2015 Candy Apple Camaro z28 & sped off.

Goodness where are my manners. Let me take just a few minutes to introduce myself. Im Armani Stevens. I am 29 years old. Born & raised in Shreveport, Louisiana but relocated to Atlanta Georgia after graduating college at LSU & Med School. I make over $150,000 a year as one of the most successful African American women in my career field. I have my own OBGYN clinic.

Now i bet you think i got it going on huh?. Pshh! I haven't had sex let alone a date since i was 17 years old. Yes its been 12 years. Long story short i was hit on & made a joke out of by the most popular boy in school because i was overweight.

His name was Michael Samuels. He was tall dark, & handsome. Mr. Popular & he acted interested in me.

He would sit with me at lunch. He would put cute little love letters in my locker but only if our relationship stayed secret. I guess I didn't get that memo.

One day the girls were teasing me & I sorta let it slip. Let's just say when he found out he made a complete fool out of me in front of everyone at school.

After that I kept my nose in my books. I figured of I didn't have the beauty then I should have the brains. I graduated top of my class & went on to Medical School. At 29 years old I have delivered over 200 babies & I've even made the top 5 OBGYN's list this year.

I shut my personal life out & focused on my work. After opening my practice I decided to start exercising. I cut out sugar, sodas, salt, & by that time the next year I had lost 70 pounds. I went from 239 to 170. I lost 8 inches off my waist & I've never felt better.

Even though I made a drastic change on the outside my inside was still broken. I couldn't trust. I couldn't love. There was always that feeling. What if he hurts you. What if he's trying to use you?

I haven't given up hope. One day I hope to find my prince charming. I hope he sweeps me off of my feet. I want to fall deeply in love with him. I wanna get married & have beautiful babies.

Maybe its all a fantasy. I mean guys don't like heavy girls anyway. They wife up all the supermodel chicks.

I wish that one day I'll meet that one guy & he'll realize that Big Ain't Bad after all.
