Life is as it should be. All hustle and bustle of New York. It's nothing like Georgia. Magnolia, Georgia is a small town that I moved to when I was 2 years old. I'm originally from Uganda. I'm 23 years old and transferred from my local college to NYU. My siblings and I moved by ourselves to escape our overprotective father and his bitch ass wife Jilly. She a racist white bitch who thinks she's better than my sister and I. The only good thing that came from Jilly is our brother Ezra. Jilly didn't take care of him and dad didn't care for him because he doesn't see the worth in Ezra, so we had our father and Jilly sign over there right. Now we're Ezra's legal guardians and it has been a blast. Ezra is the most intelligent 9year old I've ever met I love him so much and he is my world. My little sister Iliana is 19 years old and is starting her second year of college. She is so beautiful with her smooth silky skin.

"Hey, Rina can we go to the burger joint" my brother Ezra asks. "We've been working so hard and I'm ready to get some food"

"Yeah bub let me get this last box upstairs then we can go" Ezra has always been a sweet child and the fact his parents didn't want him is crazy. That's why I try to be the best sister I can to him and my sister. I would go to the end of the Earth for them.

"Iliana we're about to go to that burger joint on the corner. You want to come with us" Iliana sometimes can be antisocial.

"Yeah, I'll come I'm hungry anyway. Also, we need to go to the store to get some food and toiletries" Iliana tells me as we walk out the house. I lock up and race down the stairs with my siblings. We walk straight to the burger place and take a seat. It has a 60s malt shop theme and feels really homie. A lady by the name of Clarissa comes to our table. She is in her mid-fifties and has short pixie cut hair.

"Hey dears what would you like to eat," she says with a bright smile.

"Uhh, may I have a chicken fried steak and fries with a shake," I ask her with a smile.

"Can you make that three please?" Iliana says with a smile as well.

"Also you wouldn't know if y'all were hiring, would you. I'm looking for a part-time job" I ask her.

"Oh Darlin oh course you can work her I happen to be the owner and I am short staff and need an extra waitress. I would love if you like to work here. You're so polite and respectful. Most definitely" She said with a bigger smile.

"Great so when can I start. I go to college Monday, Wednesday, and Friday" she nods her head in understanding.

"Well dear you can work whenever you want, we don't get that busy except for Friday and Saturday," Clarissa says.

" Oh dear let me get your food," she said running to the counter, as her silver hair flew behind her.

" Hey, Rina does that mean I get free food," Iliana asked.

" No it doesn't Ili, but you prolly get a discount," I say pinching her cheek.

Ring ring

I turn my head to see this God of a man walk into the burger place to a table in the corner it is like the whole room stops. He locks eyes with me and I feel it go straight to my core. Our eyes stay on each other for what feels like forever. I look away as I here Ili starts talking to me again.

"Oh look at Rina getting all heart-eyed," Iliana says teasing me, but stops suddenly as her pupils grow wide.

" Gotta go to the bathroom," she said getting up and walking away.
" Come with me Eazy" he nods and follows her to stand guard. He is a protective brother and prolly would have gone anyway.

" Hello ma'am" I know exactly why they left now. His voice silky, smooth and dark all at the same time. His
accent thick.
" Hello," I say with a smile.
