"Nigga you are ass!!" I woke up to Rico yelling, I looked around seeing him and another young man sitting on the couch yelling at the tv, playing that damn game I assumed. I sat up looking at the time it was 6am. "My bad sis, you slept through everything else I didn't think we'd wake you up" Rico said pausing the game. "but this my patna Fredo" I nodded my head walking into my room to get ready for work, I worked at a local diner that everybody went to, I hated it sometimes & always threatened to quit but I've been working there since I was 16 as well as my cousin Jayda, we're both 21 now.

"You say you got a giiiiirl, how you want me? how you want me when you got a girl? The feeling is restless knowing I'm selfish" Jayda sang along as we drove to work, I talked to her about wanting to move into a bigger place. "I don't see why not," she said typing away on her phone "you been saving money for hellas, I know you got enough to get a decent ass house hoe" she was right, I ran away from home at 16 & I've been grinding ever since. I saved damn near every dollar I touched. I guess I'll start looking for houses I thought, but no rush.
Work was busy as hell today, I signed up to work a 12 hour shift although I was supposed to be off at 3, one of my tables were finishing up. It was 3 men with thick Jamaican accent. "Alright, you gentlemen need any to go boxes?" I asked cleaning the empty plates off the table "Just di check pretty gal" one replied, I smiled at went to grab there check. After paying, the quietest out of the 3 handed me 5 1 hundred dollar bills. "Oh no, you don't have to do that" I insisted, he never talked instead just handed me the money again. I was hesitant at first but eventually took the money. I walked towards the back of the diner since things have slowed down, I seen Jayda sitting on her phone "what's wrong?" I sat down next to her putting the money in my sock. "Man these people green as fuck" I could tell she was pissed "I been getting bullshit tips all day & then some niggas dine & dashes on me" I reached back into my sock handing her 1 of the hundred dollar bills. "Here" "Huh? Ari you know I ain't taking that from you, where you even get that from?" she asked giving me her full attention. "Jayda just take the damn money" She listened seeing as though I was dead ass. Jayda was my cousin but more like the sister I never had. When I would run away from my foster home Jayda always let me stay with her.
I dropped Jayda off at home, she lived with our grandmother . She was the oldest of 6. "Call me when you make it home" I arrived home about 10 minutes later, I was exhausted & pissed I accidentally left my purse with my phone in it at home, I know people were probably blowing me up. I walked up the stairs to my apartment, unlocking the door i was greeted with the surprise of my life. "What. The. Fuck"
