Iron Shore

Chapter 2

*Rocky*

*One year later*

It doesn't take me long to get to know someone. Or at least get a sense of who they are. It was a gift of mine that had never failed me. So how did I end up in prison? Funny you should ask. You see I didn't grow up with my family; my mother was a crack head who got pregnant from a client then didn't have any money to abort me so she kept me and as soon as she gave birth she left me on the steps of a Salvation Army homes. I learned a lot faster than the other kids what it meant to have no one. I would save every penny I got when going to school. I would walk instead of taking the bus and I would skip lunch to keep my lunch money. A teacher that I trusted helped me to open a bank account and by the time I was eighteen I had enough tucked away to rent somewhere and get some stuff for myself. It was also that same teacher that taught me a lot about myself, she was my very first relationship. It lasted four years then she passed away from cancer.

I had a couple of flings after, unable to fall for anybody the way I did for her. I was working as a Manager at a tax office when I met Cindy, my girlfriend. It took one year for her and her friends to destroy my life.

*Two years and seven months ago*

_"I need to speak to your manager!" I heard from behind me. I turn around to see the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on. She was dark-skinned with hazel eyes straight nose and glossy plump kissable lips. She was slim thick but thick in the thighs and had a flat stomach. She was the definition of gorgeous.

" Hi I'm Rocky I'm the manager here. How can I help you?" I smiled warmly at her.

"I've been here all morning trying to get the replacement for my TRN but this goon here is giving me a hard time" she explained.

I apologized and quickly help her with her problem. She flirted with me the entire time and gave me her number when she left. I called her that weekend and we went on our first date.

She was the sweetest thing you could find on earth. The first three months we dated for. I fell hard and fast for her and then the problems started._

_"You're always busy it is like I'm not important to you. Then when you come home your always tired. You have another bitch don't you!" Cindy accused me. I don't like arguments nor do I like being accused of things. But I quickly learned that Cindy was very jealous and very needy so I did my best to do everything to make her happy.

"No babe It is the end of the month. A lot of work comes through the tax office at the end of the month so I have to help and oversee it. I told you this would happen" I explained.

"I don't believe you"_

****

_Cindy fell into some bad crowd and started doing drugs hard. Every day she had them over my house lining up coke lines to snort. I tried to help her but she didn't want it.

"Do you even fucking love me! All you do is complain about my friends and us having fun!" She shouted at me one day.

Let me tell you. Cindy moved into my house off her own by the time we had dated for a month. She wasn't working nor did she know how to cook. I gave her my card to eat food while I was away. I found my bank account empty one day when I went to pay the bills. I was mad as hell cause I had saved up a little over a million dollars and it took two months for Cindy to blow thru it on clothes and hotels and expensive things and drugs.

I went home that day to find Cindy in bed sleeping with one of the guys she called her friend.

"I swear this feels so good. You should try it Rocky" she moaned out as the boy continued to slam into her even though I stood right there. I left the house and went to the bar down the road._
