It has been two months since I been living with Khyree. Khyree and I grew close to each other. We been going out on dates often. Besides him being gone all the time I've been taking the time to figure out what I really wanted to do about Jason.
"Baby Girl!" Shouted khyree as he came
Walking in.
"Yes?"
"Why you ain't text me back?"
"My phone is upstairs on the bed I've been down here all day."
"Oh well what you trying to get into tonight?"
"I don't know."
"I'm trynna go out tonight ."
"Where?"
"I don't know yet but you rolling with me?"
"Of course."
"Oight."
"Reese just got out today so we about to take him to the club you rolling still?"
"Yeah."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure wassup?"
"What am I to you?"
"What you mean?"
"Exactly what I asked."
"Look I don't know right now."
"Am I your bitch?"
"You could be."
"Why ain't I ?"
"Cuz I ain't ready for a relationship right now."
"So we just have sex?"
"No you my room mate."
"That you fuck."
"You not about to make me out to be someone who's using you."
"I care about. But I am not about to be your roommate that you fuck."
"You enjoy the see too."
"I know but I want to know I'm the only one whose fucking you ."
"Recently your the only one I've been fucking. Happy?"
"No, I'm not."
"Well I don't know what to say."
"Whatever I'm about to go to Chrissy's house."
"What time you coming home to get dress for later?"
"I'm only going to be there for an hour or two I'm coming back soon."
"Okay."
"Which car can I use today?
"The Honda."
"Okay see you ."
"I can not wait until I get you this car so you can stop using mines."
"You got like 4 cars ."
"So I brought all them too."
"Whatever big head."
Since Khyree wasn't always home he decided to teach me how to drive so I can drive myself to school and everywhere else I wanted to go. Once I arrived at Chrissy's house I parked then walked straight in. Chrissy was lole my older sister she taught me everything I know. She was 18 and she lived with her boyfriend Ron. Ron had met her one night when she was work at the club. Then been dating for 4 years now.
"Hey bitch!" I greeted walking in and sitting my MK bag on the counter.
"Wassup?" Responded Chrissy. She was counting her money. It was her usual thing she would work the club from 9-3 then she would be home by 5 then she would sleep until 12 and wake and wash and eat then count her money.
""Nothing I'm going out with Khyree and his friends tonight and I was wondering if you was going out with me tonight?"
" I ain't working tonight so yeah I'll come with you."
"Thanks because lord knows I don't wanna be there by myself with his ass and with his friends either."
"True but let me tell you about Tia and Mya."
"What happened?"
"Them ball-head bitches went around the city talking about how you just a bitch Khyree fucking your ain't got no power. They said you a bum ass bitch he helping out."
"They said that? When?"
" yesterday."
"What time yesterday because they was just smoking with me at the crib."
"I don't know but what you gonna do about it?"
"I don't know yet."
"What is it to think about , you need to let these bitches know who you is."
"True."
"These bitches think you young and dumb but I say you pop out on these bitches."
"I know what I need to do... but."
"But what?"
"You know Khyree don't fuck
With drama."
"Is you living for you or Khyree?"
"Me."
"Then do what you need to do. Fuck Khyree."
"True."
"That's what I'm talking about."
"You really my bitch."
"You my young bitch too."
We chilled for a couple of minutes then I realized that I needed to go home and dress. I wore a skin tight black strapless dress that complimented my hour glass small figure. Even though I was only 16 Khyree had to use his connections inside the club to let me in.
"You look too good." Said Khyree coming out the bathroom wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Thanks."
"You mad from earlier?"
"No but Tia and Mya going around town saying just some bitch you fuckingqnd that I'm a bum bitch that you helping out ."
"Who told you this?"
"Chrissy."
"When was this all said?"
"Yesterday."
"Let me see what's up don't trip , I got you."
"Okay."
"We about to be lit tonight."
"Yup."
"Let's roll out."
When we pulled up to club Khyree would shake hands and hug guys from everywhere. He was well respected. Once he introduced to me to everyone they looked at me as little sis. When we got to our section we seen everyone. We had Chrissy, Ron, Reese, Rah , Mya and Tia.
"Hey y'all!" Greeted Chrissy.
"Wassup?"
""Y'all cute." Said Mya with phones smile.
"That's usual." I replied.
"Yo Reese you out ?"
"Yeah they can't hold a real nigga down." Replied Reese.
"True."
"Who this on your arm?"
"This Hope."
"Wassup Hope ?"
"Hey."
"Let turn the fuck up."
We had drinks and danced all night. As we was leaving out  I noticed Mya and Tia standing by the door.
"Hey y'all , " I was trying to be friendly but it was itching me to say something.
"Hey mama." Replied Mya.
"Hey Hope." Replied Tia.
"I been meaning to talk to y'all about something."
"Wassup?" Asked Tia.
"I heard that y'all two going around talking about me. Saying I'm a bum ass bitch. Saying I'm just some bitch Khyree is fucking and all shit. Let's get something clear if that was what was going on why is it your business to say it to others?"
"Look that wasn't said by us so who ever told you that shit lying. You our bitch." Explained Mya.
"Well I hate being lied to so don't let me find out y'all playing both sides of the fence."
"Okay."
I had a deep feeling they was lying but I wasn't about to argue them down cause time will show what's real.
Once we got home I undressed then I got in the bed to go to sleep the same as for Khyree.
On a regular day Khyree would be out all day in the block and I'll be in the house or at school. I ain't thinking about school I'm more focused on finding me a hustle. I am at that point were I want my own money my own car and house. Since Khyree won't claim me as his I plan on finding me a real nigga to fuck with. I went to school today then hearded over the block to chill with Khyree and them.
"Yo wassup? You went to school today youngin?" Asked Ron.
"Yeah."
"Why you come here instead of going home?" Asked Khyree seeming upset.
" um I'm always in the house, plus I'm grown I can do what I want."
"Don't start thus I'm grown bullshit because I'll smooth knock the shut out of you."
"Why you talking to me like this
"I take care if you , I let stay with me and give a little power and you come to my place of business when you should be home doing homework like a normal 16 year old."
"Oh I got to be in the house while you fuck these dusty butches. Then you come home and fuck me what type of shit is that I'm leaving anyway." I walked off Khyree was always tripping but I had a had a plan for how to leave him.
I pulled up to Table Tops. It was a strip club where Chrissy worked. I had a plan to start stripping and stacking my paper then leaving Khyree and everyone behind.
"Yo hey ma!" I greeted as I gave Chrissy s hug when I walked in her dressing room.
"What you doing here?"
"I'm ready to make some money."
"Wait you ready to die?"
"I ain't worried about Khyree."
"I'm scared of you."
"I'm tired of one minute he all over me then he treats me like a kid the next ready to get out of here."
"I feel you but what's upturn you plan?"
"I'm gonna save up enough money to move to Atalanta them I'm going to figure out my life when I get there."
"You sure your ready?"
"Yes."
Ight get dress in this and I'll tell magic you working tonight." She handed me this black lingerie.
"Okay."
Once I was done getting dress I felt sick to my stomach the thought of going through with this plan gave me a headache. I wasn't in the position to turn back now it was now or never.
"Come on sexy it's your turn!" Shouted Chrissy. My body had goosebumps everywhere. Once we stepped out on stage I felt like a mouse in a room full of snakes. Every nigga cheered loud and stood up when the Dj announced my name as Bubbles.
I only had one though which was be as sexy as you can be As soon as the night was over I had made 5 bands. I was proud that my first time making my own money I made five thousand dollars.
It was 3 in the morning when I got home. Khyree was sleep so I undressed and went to sleep.
"Yo Hope get the fuck up! Now!" Yelled Khyree.
"What!"
"Where was you?"
"Out!"
"Who you yelling at?"
"The same person who woke me up out of my sleep yelling."
"You really starting to get on my fucknb nerves."
"How?"
"You think you grown."
"And you think you my father."
"I ain't your dead beat ass dad or your rapist ass step father!"
I had both else to say to Khyree. In all the time being with Khyree I never seen him this way. He spoke on things that made the way I am and that shit hurt like crazy.
"You ain't got shit to say now?"
"Leave me alone."
"I will when you leave my house."
"Okay then I'm gone."
"Where you gonna go?"
"Somewhere other than here."
"So you gonna leave ?"
"Yup."
I couldn't believe the shit I was gong through. Just when I thought I cared about this nigga and he care about me , I find myself packing my bags and turning my back h as well. It was definitely time for me to upgrade my hustle.
"Who is it?" Asked to Passion from rh other side of the door. I decided to go take up the offer my aunt Passion gave.
"It's Hope!"
"Oh my god! I haven't seen you in forever come in."
I came in sat down. I looked around . It looked like my Aunt was finally doing good.
"Where's Joy?"
"She went to my boyfriends mothers house."
"Oh."
"But are you okay?"
"Not really I need some where to stay."
"You can stay here as long as you need to."
"Thanks aunty."
"No problem."
Passion showed me my room then she helped me settle in. I was glad to feel at a good safe place but I knew sooner or later h was going to have to face my mom.
"Hope you hungry?"
"Yea what you cooking?"
"Girl I'm about to go to my second job so I'm about to grab something quick from somewhere."
"Okay, you bringing me back home?"
"Yeah."
"Okay can we go this hot wing spot not to far from here?"
"Sure."
We drove to the hot wing spot thenwe hopped out the hot wing spot was around the corner from Chrissy's house. We order our food then once we was finished I had plans to stop by Chrissy's place.
"Aunty I'll just go take o my friends house around the corner then I'll head home myself."
"Okay, well take my keys just in case Marcus or my boyfriend doesn't hear you knocking."
"Who's Marcus ?"
"My boyfriends homie Jeff is his father."
"Okay see you."
I walked in Chrissy's house like usual to see her eating snacks and watching tv.
"I hate the fact that you walk in my house like it's yours."
"This is my second home."
" whatever Ron told me me about Khyree earlier."
"What he tell you?"
"How he cursed you out for coming in the block calling you a kid and shit."
"Yup then I went to the club then I came home then this mthe woke me up yelling at me like I'm his daughter. Then he said some below the belt shit then I packed my shit and left."
"What he say?"
"He said I'm acting grown then I said he acting like hey father, then he said I ain't nothing like your dead beat father or your rapist ass step father."
"He really said that shit?"
"Yup but I'm living with my aunt Passion."
"He really an asshole for that."
"It's cool I'm working tonight so I'm gonna need you to let me ride with you home."
"Okay."
The rest of my day went like I planned
I chilled with Chrissy then I turned into Bubbles and made 10 bands at the club then I pulled up to my aunts house by 3.
When I came in I went to my room to put my money up. Then I showered. Once I was finished I felt hungry so I slipped on some boy shirts and went down stairs to the kitchen.
I saw that it was pizza in the fridge , so I grabbed 2 slices then I warmed it up and sat on the couch and started to eat. Then in walked this light skin tall tatted figure.
"Hey you must be Passion's niece." He spoke to me but I was in a daze just looking at his sexy ass lips.
"Yes, who you?"
"I'm Marcus."
"Oh yeah it's nice to meet you."
"Don't let ruin your time , I'm going upstairs so good night."
"Okay , good night."
He was sexy as hell. But after what Khyree put me through I rather chase the check.
The next morning I woke up adt r a good nights rest and walked into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Then I walked down stairs into the kitchen to find my aunt Passion and her boyfriend kissing all on each other.
"Well good morning to you too!" Greeted Passion.
"Good Morning to you too."
"How come you came in the house so late?"
"My friend took time to a party with her and it was over late."
"Well living in this house you'll have a curfew."
"What time?"
"11'o clock."
"What?"
"yeah your only 16."
"I know but I was moving as I pleased before why didn't I have the stop now?"
"Hope I ain't going to argue with you."
"Let me go get dress."
" where you going today? School?"
"Yeah ."
"You want me to drive you?"
"No I'm good."
"You want some breakfast?"
"No."
I hopped in the shower then I wore some high waisted jean shorts with a white crop top. Then I slipped on my Pink slippers.
"Hope I don't wanna have to keep reminding you of the rules either." Passion said catching me walking out the door. I ignored her and continued oh the door. I went to school like usual then I went to the block to chill with Chrissy.
"Yo Hope what you doing for your birthday?" Asked Chrissy handing me the blunt.
"I'm thinking about going to Miami." I took three pulls then handing her the blunt back.
"Who all going with you?"
"Everybody is invited."
"Even Khyree?"
"Hell no. I won't spend my birthday arguing and looking in his ugly face."
"Stop playing even thought he said some below the belt shit , you can't front you really love that boy?"
"Yeah do not try to play my boy out." Added Ron.
"Look I aint gonna hold you , he was my heart. But I might be young but I dumb I know if you ain't giving me a title then it's time for me to get the fuck on with my life."
"He care about you . To me that's all that matters he's willing to spend any amount of money on you. A title don't mean shit it's how he treats you."
"He can spend money on me all day by if you just wanna fuck me and then go out in the streets and say I'm just a roommate that you fucking, then that's when I bounce."
"Baby girl you missing the point, the point is he ain't ever gonna settle down and he ain't ever gonna express his true feelings to you. So you minds well move back in with him and continue moving like y'all been doing."
"No. I'm good."
"Girl I'm happy you standing up for yourself. But anyways how is it living with your aunt?"
"It's okay she got me on a curfew."
"A what? I haven't heard that word in so long."
"Yup , because I'm 16 I gots to be in the house by a certain time."
""Girl I'll pray for you. You was better off just staying with Khyree."
"Can y'all stop acting like Khyree is some type of God. That nigga is not all that fucking good."
"Well tell that to him , he walking over now."
I turned to see him waking over from his car. I haven't seen Khyree since our argument.
"Yo what's happening Rob?" Asked Khyree giving mg Ron some dap.
"Nothing much just getting this paper."
"Hey Chrissy."
"Wassup."
"Why you here?" He asked looking at me
"Khyree you not about to start with me today." I replied.
"It's a question."
"I ain't gotta explain shit to you."
"Oh so you big now?"
"Bye!"
"Hope stop fucking talking to me like you won't get slapped."
"Stop talking to me period. You said you would leave me alone when I leave your house, now I left and you still bothering me."
"I made you , bitch."
"Chill bro." Insisted Ron.
"Nah fuck all that she would of been still living with her rapist of a step father if it wasn't for me."
"Let's be clear you asked me to come stay with you when we was in L.A. Where you you also asked me to come."
"I helped you out."
"I could of stayed there you said I don't deserve that and I can come stay with you. I didn't beg you or force you to do anything.
"Now that you got shit you wanna forget about what a nigga did for you?"
"Never forgot. It's just that I ain't about to get treated however you choose because of it I got of one bad situation now I'm in another one."
"Y'all both seem to still care for each other so just apologize to each other and leave it to be." Request Chrissy.
"You right. I'm thankful for everything that you did for me. I apologize if I make you feel like I don't appreciate you because I do."
"Look I'm sorry if you don't feel like I treat you right sometimes."
"Now y'all cool. Just leave the bullshit in the past."
"I'm fine with it but let me go home and get some rest." I gave Chrissy and Ton a hug then I left.
After that conversation with Khyree it had me thinking about what I had to do next. It was time for me to fix things so that I can live forward. My next mission is to handle my mother and Jason.
"Who is it?" Asked a lady from the other side of the door. Knowing it was my mother I was well prepared for a huge reaction to seeing me after being gone for a couple of months. Then the door opened.
"Where the he'll have you been?" Yelled my mother. In her eyes I seen rage but her voice said different.
"We need to talk."
"First tell me where you been?"
"I'm safe I'm alive and that is all that matters." I walked in a seen Jason sitting in the couch drinking beer.
"Hope you better get the talking right now."
"Look I went to L.A. Then I decided to stay with a friend."
"When did you ever start making your own decisions?"
"When Jason started raping me and beating me."
"What?"
"Yup. That night when I told you I got jumped by some girls in a fight he had beat me that time too. I came back from L.A. Then he raped me and beat me again and I decided never to come back."
"Jason is this true?"
"No she lying I would never do something like that."
"Jason don't lie to me."
"Baby really who you gonna believe?"
"Baby can you go to the store and get me some cigarettes?"
"Sure."
Once Jason left my mother stared. She looked at me like I was trashed.
"Look Hope I know you never liked Jason but I don't think lying on him is what's best."
"Mom I'm not lying."
"Look I don't know what to believe but you can't tell no one about this."
"What are you serious? I'm being raped and beat by your trifling ass boyfriend and you don't know what to believe?"
"Hope don't make me choose between you and him."
"Your my mother your supposed to always have my back. That's why I left."
"I know your upset but I need him."
"Fuck! Him!"
"Hope don't get slapped."
"I'm done!"
After all this time of th boing my mother didn't love me , I no longer had to think anymore. She had chosen her boyfriend over me. How fucked up can that really be. It's time to really speed this plan up. I found my own hustle so it's time to speed up the process.
For the next 3 months I worked at night and went to school by day. I was making a couple of bands a night. I had finished school. So during the day I would smoke eat and sleep. Then at night I was all about my money. I still didn't talk to Khyree since we both apologized  but I honestly was missing him like crazy.
"Hope!" Yelled Passion.
"Yes!"
"Come down stairs!"
"Coming!"
I came down stairs to see Khyree in my living room.
"What you doing here?" I asked fronting like I didn't miss him.
"I came to take you out for something to eat." He replied with that sexy smile.
"I'm not hungry."
"Come on, just come grab something to eat with me."
"Okay hold on let me grab my phone."
I came back downstairs then we left. We pulled up to Applebee's.
"You know you happy to see me, so stop fronting." Khyree knew me like a book even though he did say some fucked up shit I had to face it he had me sprung.
"Whatever." I wasn't going to admit though."
"I miss you baby when you gonna come back and live with Daddy?"
"Uh.. Never."
"Hope I miss you like crazy."
"I know."
"Look fuck all that why you ain't tell me you was working at the the stop club?"
"I'm grown."
"Hope if you needed money I could have gave it to you."
"I chose to strip so I can make my o n money."
"My money is your money."
"No it isn't."
"So you gonna quit?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Why should I?"
"I don't want you  shaking your ass for niggas for money."
"Khyree that sounds great but I got a plan to not have to ask anyone else for anything. I'm doing fine. Ron is okay with Chrissy stripping. How come you can't just let me do me?"
"Look you can work at the club but you bet not be fucking none of them niggas either."
"Thanks. Trust me I am only dancing."
"So are you moving back in?"
"Let me think about it."
"Okay."
"So how much do you miss me?"
"I miss you enough to take you to the bathroom and eat the sit out of your pretty pussy until you come all over my face."
"How about you show me?"
"You ain't saying nothing but words."
With no more time wasted we headed towards the bathroom. Khyree looked the door behind himself when he came in. Then he kissed my neck , while unbuttoned my shorts.
Khyree slipped them off then slid my lace panties to the side. Then sliding his fingers inside. I started to shake immediately. He looked in my eyes and fingered me faster and faster.
"You so fucking wet." He fingered faster causing my legs to shake. Khyree always had the magic touch.
"Ooouu Daddy!" I moaned no longer holding it in.
Then Khyree picked me up and sat me on the sink. Then he bent down and started licking and sucking.
"Uh! Fuck!"
"Mmmm."
"Yes Daddy eat this pussy!
"Mmmm."
"I want you to fuck me daddy!"
"That's what you want?"
"Yes."
Khyree rose pulling out his long duck. Yeah I missed that too. Then he slid it in letting my warmth wrap around his hardness.
"Ouuuu!"
"Uh! Shit! You deep in my fucking pussy!"
"You miss Daddy dick right?"
"Yes!"
"You gonna come on Daddy dick?"
"Yes!"
"Your shit so wet babe!"
"Fuck!"
I clawed Khyree's back with my nails as I came. I felt so relaxed all because Khyree laid it down. After we cleaned up we ate our food then we headed back to my house.
"So are you gonna come back home?" Khyree pulled up to my house.
"Yes I'll come back home."
"Oight."
"I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
"I'll start packing my stuff tonight I should be done by 5 p.m. "
"Okay."
"Alright."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
It was so crazy how Khyree never told me he loves me or even that he missed me. I don't know if it was all to get me back or whatever but he definitely had me feeling crazy.
"Hope why are you packing?" Asked Marcus. Marcus and me hung out sometimes only really when would smoke together he was a drug dealer. He worked all the time but every now and than he would stop by the house.
"I'm moving back to my friends house."
"Does Passion know?"
"Not yet."
"Are you still gonna be my smoke buddy?"
"Yes."
"Oight."
"So who that nigga I seen you with?"
"His name is Khyree and he is the friend I was living with before I came here and he is the friend I'm moving back in with."
"That's your boyfriend?"
"It's complicated."
"If you say so."
After I was done packing I dragged my bags down the stairs and by the door. I text Khyree to let him know he can come get me. Then I sat down to wait.
"Why are your bags. Y the door?" Asked Passion. She had just came in from work.
"I'm moving back in with the friend I was living with before I came here."
"Is the friend that came to take you out for something to eat the same friend?"
"Yes."
"Your not going to live with no boy. You stay right here."
"No I'm not I was doing well taking care of myself before I came here me and him got into an argument then I came to stay here."
"Are you having sex with him?"
"You really wanna ask that?"
"Hope boys can wait can you at least try to act your age?"
"Yo you starting to make me mad. I knew I should of never came here!"
"Lower your voice."
"I been stop acting my age when I started getting raped! I been stop acting my age when I ran away from home! I was doing fine before I came here."
"Hope I just want you to be safe."
"I am safe."
"Your too young."
"Yeah well it's too late for that my ride is outside so let me go." I grabbed my suite case then rolled it down the stairs. Khyree got out the car to help me  it's the rest of my bag then we drove off. My aunt didn't understand things would never be the same. I had my child hood taken from me. I had my own mother turn around and say she doesn't know if my stepdad raped me. I had been through the worst. I couldn't be a teen now because my mind is all fucked up already. I guess she just won't understand.
