Mr. & Mrs. (BW/WM)

Chapter 1: Another Day

Life hasn't ever been easy for me. I had to struggle to make my way to the top.

When I was younger my grandmother always told me,  "Baby life is the core of evil, but you have to be one of the very few to shine your light ." Lord knows I miss my grandmother. God rest her soul. Laura Anne Christopher , a woman who was hated  by few and loved by many.

As for me you may ask. Who am I?  Well I'm Eliza Lillianne Christopher.  I'm an African American woman who has a dark brown skin complexion . I'm a successful attorney at Hunter Inc. I been working their for 2 Years now . I'm 28 years old. even though I'm young. It's not going to stop me from achieving my dream of becoming partner.

"Beep",  "Beep",  "Beep", the alarm sounds,  waking me up for another day.

I get up off of my king sized bed , and make my way towards my closet.

"Well, what am I going to wear today?"  I start looking through all of my different pieces of fabric and other clothing.

"Perfect!" , I gasp.  I go into the bathroom to take a shower. After I finished soaping down my body,  my phone starts ringing. 

I'm not scared of lions, and, tigers, and bears,  but I'm scared of,  I'm not scared to perform at a social affair,  but I'm scared of.

"Shit!" , I quickly make my way out of the shower only to fall right on my ass.

"Got Dammit! " , I quickly make my way into my bedroom,  water still dripping from my wet body,  and reach out on my dresser to retrieve my Samsung Galaxy S5. I look at the caller I.D only to find that it's my best friend Nicole. I pick up the phone.  

*On the phone *

"Hello ."

"Lizaaa,  hey girl! "

Nicole,  what the fuck you calling me for !? I have to be at work,  I have things to do,  and I'm a bu-."

She cuts me off." Girl shut the hell up . Damn,  always so uptight." 

"You Damn Right! Now,What do you want?"

"Well,  I wanted to ask you for a ride, but if you have these nasty ass attitude,  I can always catch a ca-."

I cut her off . "Ahhhh. Shut it Nik. We both know you ain't gone catch a cab. Just know I'll be there." I hung up the phone and began to get dressed.

I'll pulled out a lace teal panty and bra set. Then I reach out to get my ruffled burgundy top,  with my gray blazer,  and my gray slacks. I then slip on my burgundy 5 inch heels.  I put on some diamond studs,  and grab my phone and Michael Kors purse.

On my way out, I catch a glimpse of me in my mirror.

I sigh. "I miss you Mi-ma, I'm doing this to shine my light,  everyday Mi-ma, everyday.  A hot tear begins to roll down my cheek , and as soon as I felt it,  I quickly wipe it away. One thing that I refuse to do is cry.  I rush out of the door and hop into my gray Lexus.

I turn the AC on and make my way towards Nicole's apartment.  Nicole and I have been friends for over 7 years. We met each other in college.

I make it to Nik's apartment and I honk the horn. Five minutes later, and this heifer still haven't made it out. I look at my watch and it's 8:45 . I have to be at work in 15 minutes. I pull out my phone and text her.
