"DAMN I SHOULD OF LISTENED TO MY MOMMA IF I DID I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE IN THIS MESS". I SCREAMED FORGETTING MY BABY JAHDEYA WAS ASLEEP.

THE SWEET N THE SOUR

Oh my God she just gets on my nerves why wont she get off my back. im tired of these rules damn i cnt do anything I'm just supposed to stay up under her.do not want to be here i do not want that life. all the holy righteous stuff is not for me. my mom is a devout Jehovah Witness born and raised and trying to make sure i follow what she called "THE TRUTH". all i had to hear about was going to the meetings and field serving and Bible study and blah blah blah damn i just want to go out and have some fun. i work i give her money to help out i pay my own phone bill so why cant i talk to whoever i want. she cant stop me from talking to him that's my bae for life. the ringing of the phone jolts me out of my thoughts.

"hey baby," that's my bae Jahdey man he sounds so sexy on the phone.

"hey boo, whats up".

"I'm trynna see you this weekend so wzup it"

I just love his thuggish attitude that's what attracted me to him in the first place. I didn't think he was that cute at first but his swagg is what got me hooked. he stands 6 9 medium brown skin,dark curly hair braided straight to the back. Oversized white t shirt wearing,baggy jeans sagging timberland wearing small time hustler but swear he doing big things. You know that bad boy look that we all love. dnt act like y'all dnt know what I'm talking about.

" aye girl u dnt hear me"..

damn I'm daydreaming again " sorry boo, I dnt know cause mom dukes been tripping super hard lately i got to see if I can make something up and slide".

"well u do that, hit ya nigga up later and let me know the deal". Jahdey said in his slick smooth voice.

"aight boo later".

"aye you forget something shawty".

"what you mean".

"yo dnt play me".

" ha ha ha love you boo".

"yeah u better"

.'Man this nigga make me want to break all the rules. I dnt know what it is about Jah but he just so ooohhh. Even though he get on my nerves calling me at 3 in the morning acting like he dnt know i gotta be up at 5. let me go head and get this little bit of sleep i got left.

**alarm goes off**. Damn time to get up already i swore i just only blinked. oh well time to get a move on. I got me a job at the First Union Bank, my sister and I both work there she is Fulltime and Im partime we work at two different branches. We lucked up and found this job fair and they where hiring on the spot. of course i had to get my proper on at the interview, they were so impressed they hired ya girl. hey it was all good i liked the fact that i got to dress up and feel important. It hard getting used to counting all that money though but hey it is wat it is.
