~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Regina was brought out of her day dream when the owner and cook yelled her name. She'd once again looked out of her window and fell into a deep trance. Working in those big skyscrapers. Putting on those white woman suits.

Everyday she would look out that window and stare and everyday someone would bring her out of the possibly the only happiness besides her son.

"God damnit Regina! Get some fucking pep in your step and go wait on those customer!"

"Sorry Benny.."

Benny was the first and really only person to give her a job. She'd dropped out of high school her senior year and failed to get her GED. There wasn't a day that went by she didn't beat herself up about not graduating and going on to school. He was more like a father to her than anything.

She rebelled.. As a child she'd gotten any and everything she wanted. It wasn't nothing that she would ask her parents for that they didn't get her. She was a spoiled child.

Just like any spoiled child when they don't get their way they would act out and she did. She dropped out of school and moved in with her then boyfriend. Surprisingly they lived well.

Regina would still recal the events that played to when she first met him.

As she sat in the food court of the Perminter Mall eating her Thai chicken a handsome Asian man walked by. She tried not to stare as he entered Nordstrom but it was hard as hell.

Her friends didn't pay her a lick of mind. They were to busy looking at something on their new blackberries. Gigi grabbed her pocketbook and made a mad dash to the store.

All of her friends were shocked as they watched their friend rush off to the store on her own in the manner she did. Yet they didn't stop her. They went back to playing on they're phones and bragging about what their phone could do.

Regina hated those girls. They were spoiled, snooty, high sadity brats who got everything they wanted and still treated they're parents wrong. Regina didn't. Yes she had a great up bringing and got everything she wanted.... She refused to act like those girls did.

She was only friends with them because her mother asked her to. She wanted to honor her mothers wishes and stay friends with these "fakes". Walking into the store, Regina was on a mission. Target: The Sexy Asian Man.

As she walked around, Gina debated with herself. Why should she chase after someone. She'd always been the chasie not the chaser. Mentally she cursed herself for even trying. Why would an Asian man want her. HE'S ASIAN!

Blowing her breath, she turned around and began to walk out the store. Trying to get her phone out of her Gucci pocketbook she ran into someone. A soild body. Once again she mentally cursed and looked up.

Low and behold it was the Sexy Asian she'd seen walking around moments before. For a moment they looked each other in each's eyes.

"Oh my bad mami... I didn't mean to run into such beautiful woman. Maybe I did mean it. Damn your cute." He wholeheartedly said.

"Well thank you" she giggled.

"Uh you wanna walk around with me while I looked around this store?" He politely asked.

"Sure... But um.. Why are you in here when it clearly doesn't look like you'd wear anything here."

The handsome man was decked out in a pair of timberlands and a polo. His Sean John jeans hung low and cuffed at the bottom. Chain's hung from his neck in all different lengths. He looked like he was a drug dealer.

That really pulled her to him the bad boy type. She'd dreamed at night of dating one. The things she'd heard they did to the people they were dating.

"I know. I don't but I lost a bet and now I have to find some clothes. This shit is something white folks wear. Not me."

"Oh... Okay."

"Let's see if I can find something as well as get to know you a little better". He said with sin of a smile while he grabbed her hand and began to walk.

Regina melted within. She didn't expect this to happen. She'd picture several things in hear head but that wasn't one of them.

As they walked she got really take a look at his features. He was way taller than her. 6'5 at the least. She'd never seen a tall Asian before. His lips were full and large. He was built as if he was a line backer in the NFL.

"So baby girl. What's yo name?"

"It's Regina but everyone calls me either Gina or GiGi"

"So Ms. Regina. How old are you?"

"16"

"Aight. Well I'm Maddox. Just turned 18."

"Okay" She swooned.

"How bout we get outta here. I'ont see nothing I might want."

"Um okay. Let me tell my friends I'm going with you."

"Aight. You want me to walk with you."

"Sure."

Picking up the her pen and pad, Gina walked over to a group of men. They'd appear to be in they're mid-twenties.

"Hello! Welcome to Hagan's Diner. I'm Regina and I will be your waitress. What can I get you today?"

"Well I want a coke and maybe your number."

"That has to be earned sweetheart. For the rest of you guys?"

They all ordered and she walked off to get the drinks. As she rounded the corner, Regina fixed the top of her button down uniform top so her cleavage was showing and dabbed a bit of perfume on her wrists.

Did she want the man's number? No. She was far from wanting a man's company. She just wanted tips. In fact she needed the tips. Benny paid her under the table.. 6 an hour... She couldn't complain because he gave her a job but she wasn't bringing home much.

Thankfully he'd let her bring home food each night. So that's one thing she didn't have to worry about. Her freezer and refrigerator was stocked with food. As she grabbed the drinks, Regina took a long deep breath. They might leave a big tip. You can do this. It's only a little flirting. She mentally prepared.

Sitting the down she waited for them to order. Everyone order the same thing except for the man that seem interested in her.

"Yes.. I want the steak and eggs and yo number."

"Didn't I tell you if you want my number you'd have to work for it. How bout this. You and your buddies leave a nice tip and I'll give it to you." She said with a killer smile.

"Oh they will. Don't worry about that."

Smiling she twisted off to the back. She could hear the men Oing and Ahing over her plump ass. She made sure she wore the tight yoga pants today. It was tight enough were it kep her ass in place and loose enough where she could still jiggle.

"You know those youngstas looking at you right?" Benny asked.

"I know. Hopefully they will give me a huge tip."

"Hell the way they looking... Do you want me to go over and say something?" He cut off

"Na it's good... They will be gone soon."

"Aight but I'm keeping my eyes out on them."

"Benny cook they food so they can leave and stop acting like my daddy! I swear you acting like you had me!" She laughed.

"Listen here lil girl don't try and bulk up. I'll beat you!" He threatened.

"Yea yea! Hurry up so I can give these horny ass boy's they food!"

No more than ten minutes later the food was up and the guys were eating. Shortly afterwards the guys finished up and paid for their meals.. With a wink the flirting man left.

As she walked over to the table she saw that 5 of the men left twenties where as the flirting man left a fifty. She damn near cried. Her light bill was due and she was a hundred dollars short. She didn't know how the hell she was going to pay for it.

After she cleaned up, Regina sat down and pulled out her S3. Now if your wondering how the hell can she afford a phone but can't afford to keep her lights on. It's a prepaid plan. She got the phone hot. They only charged her 20 dollars. Crackheads will do anything for a little bit of money.

Seeing as how Benny would always buy two cards for him and his wife he'd buy the family plan of three. No one used the third code. Benny gave it to her. She was glad. She didn't know how she would keep in contact of whoever was babysitting her child.

Since it was slow Regina one again began to reminisce. It was her way of coping with the world.

Walking over to her friends Maddox was in toe. He couldn't help but admire her short frame. For her to be so young she had a body of a grown woman. Her ass seemed to jiggle in the hip huggers.

"Hey! Um... I will catch up with y'all later.."

"Well where you going!" The girls said in unison.

"With me." He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. "She'll be back soon. I wanna take lil mama out."

The girls sat there with their eyes big and mouths open. Regina on the other hand was more than happy. She mouthed text me as they began to walk off. No sooner as they hit the door did they do exactly what she mouthed

As they approached his car Regina squeled with joy. He was driving the brand new Ford Mustang GT. it was dark blue with white speckles.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yes! It's the new mustang! I want one so bad!"

"Don't worry you will get one." He whispered.

Regina hand raped the car. Slowly she touched the paint as if it was her lover. Maddox couldn't help but groan at the way her hands touched his car.

"It's even better on the inside." He told.

She looked at him and watched as he opened the door for her. Slowly getting in she moaned. The seats were this soft fabric. It seemed to mold to her body. The dash was a dark wood. The latest stereo system and a colored stirring wheel.

After he made sure she was filling in the car, he closed the door and followed suit. He sat down and started up the car. The engine purred like a kitten.

"So you ready?"

"For what?"

Before she knew it he'd taken off out of the parking lot. The way the road felt made he want to close her eyes and sleep. She might not have been a die hard car fan but when it came to mustangs... That was her guilty pleasure.

"You want to go to the park?" He asked.

"Sure" she said almost breathlessly. The road had taken over her. She didn't care.

She couldn't help but be turned on by this car. What woman wouldn't. Every little bump would cause her to moan. She was so glad that the music was loud enough where he couldn't hear or so she thought. He could hear every little moan that escaped her mouth.

He purposely hit the bumps just so he could her the sexy sounds leave her mouth. Gigi grabbed onto the door handle with her right hand and her thigh with her left hand. She squeezed for all she was worth.

Maddox looked down and saw she was holding on to her thigh. So he let his hand trail small circles along her thigh. He could hear her breath speed up. If he didn't know any better he'd think she was going to have an orgasm.

So busy looking a her, he began to run over raised pavement markers on the side. As he did, Regina sat up and leaned against the glove compartment moaning loudly. She was about to have an orgasm.

Looking at her, Maddox slide his hand up a little further. Just enough to where he was rubbing the inside of her thigh. Looking down at her one last time he began to run over the bumps. One after one his car jumped up and down.

Regina was in a state of bliss. This felt way better than what her ex ever made her feel. Just when she was about to release the orgasm waiting to come out, Maddox pulled off to some dirt road. Parking, he unbuckled both his and her seatbelt. Before she knew it. He'd pull down his pants and pushed her skirt up her waist.

Grabbing her arms, he pulled her on top of him. Slowly he pushed himself into her. He groaned at her tightness and she cried out in pleasure. Instantly she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned against him.

Gripping hold of her hips he began to bounce her onto him. Regina began to cry as her orgasm began to hit. His name left his mouth over and over again. Soon as she came down from her high his orgasm hit.

Maddox pulled out and let his thick seed spill all over his seat. Regina fell against him and stayed like that for a moment. Guilt hadn't set in yet. She was kinda glad though. She was feeling way to great to start feeling bad about what just happened.

Moments later he placed her back into her seat. He cleaned up her thighs and buckled her back up. Shortly after he cleaned up his mess and put on his seatbelt, he grabbed her pocketbook and took out her phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Calling myself from your phone."

"Uh why?"

"Because I'm getting your number. Fuck else would I be doing." He said with a slight laugh.

"Why are you getting my number for."

"Oh did you think this is a one time thing? No. I only date the girls I please. So we gon need to start dating."

She sat in shock... In a strange and crazy way that was really sweet. What the hell have I gotten myself into. She thought...

It was now closing time. Regina could wait to get home and see her baby boy. It's been a long as day and she wasn't in the mood for anything but her son. Benny locked up and drove them to their apartment building.

Benny stayed on the floor below Regina. So, Benny's wife would babysit when she would work. Loretta didn't mind. She didn't get to see her own grandchildren to often. Dace was almost like a replacement grandchild.

Walking into the small apartment, Regina saw her son laid out on the floor passed out. According to Loretta, Dace played himself to death. One minute he was play and then the next he was knocked out on the floor.

Smiling she lifted him into her arms and walked walked out of the apartment not before she thanked Loretta. Unlocking her own door she sighed.

She hated being here but was happy she was home. Throwing her keys on her couch, Regina proceeded to take her son into his room. Gigi changed his clothes and put him to bed. That son of hers could sleep through the world ending.

Kissing his check, she walked out of his room to only fall on the floor and sigh. As she began to roll on her back the tips from today spilled out of her pocket. Collecting the tips from her yoga pants, Gina began to count the money.

She did really well today. Two hundred dollars. If it wasn't for the man and his buddies leaving those large tips she wouldn't have that much. After a while she finally got up only to plop down on the couch.

There was a blue box sitting on the small coffee table. As she opened it bills fell out. After she opens each one and lays them out on the table, Gina grabbed the stack of money that laid conventaly under the large stack of bills.

Seeing as how Benny owned the building he gave her rent at a discounted price. Instead of the normal 689 for a two bedroom he is charging her 212. She placed the rent aside and continued to count the rest of the bills.

Lights: 125

Car: 100

Insurance: 50

Phone: 50

After she set out the bills she had about seventy dollars left. She needed to get the her son new clothes and a pair of shoes. He was growing faster than she could have imagined. That will leave her with twenty dollars for the next two weeks. Hopefully the tips will roll in this week.

Leaning back again the couch she let her mind daydream about Maddox.

Putting her phone back into her pocketbook, Maddox started back up the mustang and drove off. He would occasionally glance over to Regina. She had a grin plastered to her face.

Maddox leaned back and let the road take control. After driving for some time they came to the park. The original destination they had in mind before they got... Preoccupied.

Pulling into the parking out Maddox walked over to open her door. As he helped her out of the car he couldn't help but steal a kiss from her soft lips. They tasted of Hubba Bubba bubblegum. Pulling away she found herself falling forward.

Catching her in time Maddox laughed. "Easy baby. We don't want you falling now."

She blushed and lowered her head. Closing the door he proceeded to pull her along the small trail. They found themselves engaging in small conversations while they walked.

Maddox was the middle child. Two brothers and one sister. His parents immigrated to the United States just before they had their first born. They worked tooth and nail to provide them everything they ever needed.

It wasn't enough so he found himself hooking up with a few guys who were dealing. He loved the idea of having money. At 14 he found himself dealing. After a while he had more than enough to help his parents out.

He has several runins with the cops but was never arrested. He would always say it was his professional demeanor that saved him. Whatever it was, both he and Regina were happy.

Regina was having the best time of her life until her phone began to ring. She looked at it and wanted to decline the call but answered it anyway.

"Hello?"

"OMG! Where are you! You're parents keep calling. They want you home!"

"Uhh.. Shit. I'll be there soon! Just... If they call tell them... Tell them nothing. Why haven't they called me!"

"They said they have but you're phone is going to voicemail!"

"Alright! Where are y'all?"

"At the mall still"

"Okay! I will be there soon!"

"Hurry!"

Regina hung up and they proceeded to run to the car. She was having so much fun. She didn't feel bad for going behind her parents back and doing this. He was sexy. He was a bad boy. What girl wouldn't want this?!

As if god was on they're side, there wasn't any traffic in the rode. They made it to the mall in no more than ten minutes. As they pulled into the parking lot her "friends" were all rushing to the car.

As she was about to hop out he pulled her back only to play a breathtaking kiss upon her lips. Her friends stood there with they're mouths open. He let her go and told her he was either gonna call or text her later.

Stumbling out of the car Regina once again regained her composure and ran over to her friends. The closer she got the closer she heard them squil. Gigi just rolled her eyes and ran to the car.

Of course she only dreamed if she didn't think they weren't gonna ask a million questions. She answered the questions politically. Of course they were mad. She wasn't about to tell her business to these group of women. They would tell your business quicker than a fly landing on shit.

If she was gonna tell anyone about what happened it would be her best friend she had before she moved to Atlanta. They grew up together. The projects. At heart Regina will always be ghetto.

Whenever she had a chance she was sending her friend money. If she had her friend would have. On the weekends she'd come up and stay. It's Friday which is most likely why her parents were calling she was there.

Making it home she said bye to the fakes and ran into the house. Giving her mother a brief hello, Regina grabbed her friend and pulled her upstairs. Lashinda didn't know how to act.

It wasn't until she closed the door and grabbed her "Story Telling Blanket" that she knew.. It's was story time. Running over to the radio she turned it on. Making sure the door was locked they went and sat in the closet. Ensuring no one was listening.

"Okay bitch you gon tell me what the hell is going on are you gon sit dare with the big eyes?"

"I am! Hold on!" She said texting.

She wanted a picture from Maddox so she could show her friend. Yet.. Instead of sending a picture of his face. He sent a picture of his better half. Regina let out of hell of a scream. Lashinda sat there with her face scrunched and mouth open.

After some playful arguing back and forth he finally sent her a picture of his face.

"Soooo... Let me tell you what happened today! But first! Look at this man!" She said while showing her friend the picture.

"Girl... He is Asian! Who is this?" Questioning all the while not looking up from the picture.

"This is... Today.. Just sit back and listen."

Regina proceeded to tell her all about what happened. Lashinda would throw in a little questions here and there but nothing to big. She wanted her friend to finish this insane story.

"Okay.." She held up her hand. "Soo why the fuck did you scream earlier?" She asked.

"Girl... You ready for this?" She asked.

Nodding, Regina showed her the original picture he sent her. Looking at the phone and back at Regina. She screamed as well.

"That was in you!!!!"

"Yes!"

"HOW!!!! My god!! We gotta take you to the hospital! Because that man demolished yo pussy!" She said with all seriousness.

"No hospital.. I just want more. He.. Girl he hit every spot that you only hear of on tv."

"When y'all gon to?"

"He wants to again tonight."

"How the hell we gon this tall ass Asian man past yo parents?"

"I got that all worked out. Why you think we got that guest house? Fo guests. Fuck no. We going down there. How you think I be getting out?"

"Ooooo! You sneaky bitch! I love it!"

"Oh I know you do!"

"So let's go back downstairs and get yo stuff! It's going in the guest house! along with my things! We gon be in there all weekend!"

Regina sat there laughing. She loved that girl. Which is what she needed to call her. She hadn't heard from her in a couple days. Grabbing her phone she pressed her speed dial and listened to it ring.

"Hey Girl!" She screamed.

"Hey chick. What you doing?"

"Noting on the way to the club. You know it's the first! Our busiest nights!"

"I know." She sighed.

"What's wrong bae girl?"

"I just.. I'm sick of not being able to give my son everything he wants. His daddy wouldn't have wanted this."

"Girl I know.. Listen why don't you come and try a night at the club.. It's just one night."

"I don't know.. I'm scared."

"Girl of what? I'm fine. You can use the money to go back to school. Then you can get out of that hell hole!"

"I know.. Just.. I'll think about it okay?"

"Ight. But when you do. I have the perfect outfit for you! You'll just have to pick out the song."

"Okay" she laughed

"Now. Where is my little man."

"He is in the room sleep. Looking more and more like his daddy everyday."

"Good! When I have children I want my daughter to marry him!"

"How you gon put your kid on my kid!" She laughed.

"Bitch we don't talked about this!! He is cute as ever and my child is gon be hella sexy. They would make sexy ass children. I want sexy grand babies!"

"Girl.. You a fucking mess!!!"

"Like you ain't know. But aye. I'll call you later on. I'm at the club. Think about my offer. 'Ight?"

"Yea.. I'll think about it. You be safe. I can't have my best friend getting hurt."

"Ha! Niggas ain't that crazy. I keep my blade, gun and tazer in my pocketbook at all times. They fuck with me if they want. They come back with holes in them"

"You crazy as hell!!"

"Damn right! but I love you! So it don't matter! I'll be up there tomorrow. I need to see my nephew and take my girl out. Soooo bye chick!"

"Bye crazy woman!"

Hanging up she threw the phone on the table. Putting everything back into the box, Regina cleaned up everything and went on to take a shower. It was a long day. What better to get rid of the days worries by a long hot shower.

Showered and lotion'd up, Gigi went on to bed. She will deal with everything later on. As she began to drift off to sleep she felt something poke at her. Looking up she saw her little man standing there with tears in his eyes.

"Hey baby. What's wrong?"

"I had bad dream" she said sniffling.

"Oh it's okay baby. You want to sleep in here with me tonight?"

"Yes"

Opening her covers she pulled her son into her bed and waiting til he was asleep. Softly getting up she picked him up and carried him back into his room. Kissing him one last time, Regina walked on to her room and finally went to sleep.
