" you said how much again ? "

" that will be 1,235 an 35 cent . is there a problem?" the perk young sells clerk smiled

" hell no what you think I'm some broke ass bitch ?! I have money ! " I screamed at her

" no ma'am " she was frighten

I handed her Michael's black card and smiled. I was living the life I always wanted. I had money,power, a loving husband & a baby daddy name Nikko life was being so good to me.

" here you are ma'am have a great day" she handed me my card "

" next time you better check yourself before asking a stupid ass question! " I snatched my card

" is there a problem " I mocked her while walking out of BEBE

I could feel this annoying ass baby kicking. I rolled my eyes I was so sick of being pregnant. I thought this was going to be fun. fuck I hated this shit more then I hated Nina. That bitch had my man. I sware she gone make me kill her. I was so into my day dream I wasn't paying attention to where I was going an I bumped into someone.

" what the hell ! watch where you are going I am pregnant you know! " I looked up to see an familiar young mans face but I just couldn't think of his name

" I'm sorry girl fuck why you gotta curse an shit " he gave me an ugly look

" Marley ! " I heard a female scream he quickly turned around giving me enough room to see that stank how Tracy coming towards us.

" oh hell no ! I know you ain't tryna take my man now bitch " she stepped in front Marley

" girl please I don't want ya man ! he don't look like shit anyways " I looked him up and down

" oooh bitch you lucky your ass pregnant cause I will whip that ass! " Tracy pushed her finger against my forehead

" come on Tracy , leave this hoe alone " Marley grabbed her by the arm

" nah this hoe just met her match, i"ll see you around bitch " she walked out her heels clicking hard against the floor

I rolled my eyes this bitch needed to shut up she wasn't stopping my money from coming in. I walked out the mall and drove home to my lovely house Michael & I shared.

" Michael baby ?" I called out dropping my bags

" I'm in the den " he shouted

I walked toward the den to see him sitting in front the tv watching ESPN. I couldn't believe he was all mine. Standing 6'3 smooth midnight skin,perfect pair of teeth , wavy hair & a well built body. I walked over to him taking a seat beside him

" how was your day baby " he kissed my cheek an rubbed my belly. I was now 8 months

" it was fine baby , you know simple shopping " I didn't mention the part about getting into it with Tracy cause it wasn't his business

" I was thinking about baby names , how about Mariah since it's a girl ? " he said turning towards me

" hmmmm Mariah ? , I like it " I smiled

" how about I go run you a warm bubble bath so you can relax ? " he rubbed my thigh an smiled

" see this is why I love you " I kissed him lips

Michael got up an headed toward the bathroom. I closed my eyes an sighed. My cell phone started to ring in my bag so I pulled it out. It was a Atlanta number who the hell could this be

" hello ? " I said

" Candy ! bitch " a deep familiar voice scared me I knew exactly who this was

" you have the wrong number " I hung up so fast. I started to shake

There was only one person who gave me that name. It was Mannie a pimp from Atlanta. I thought I left all my troubles behind. When I was 17 I ran away with him thinking he was my first love. He worked for my father an convinced me that he was a loving kind person, but as soon as we step foot outside my parents world all hell broke loose.Mannie started to beat me to sell my body for money. He made me his whore. After 3 years of that life I finally broke free. One night he asked me to make dinner I heated up some grease an threw it on him an ran as far as I could. I hitched hiked a ride to the bus station an came back home to L.A. I never expected him to still be alive.

My cell phone ringed again

" I thought I said you have the wrong number ! " Iwas aggravated

" Mekka bitch don't play with me! I know this your ass. I don't like how you did me bitch " he barked

" Mannie if your crazy ass don't stop fucking calling me , what do you want?!" I whispered

" I want your fucking life bitch you thought you could just leave Daddy Mannie like that? throwing that fucking grease on me?! "

" Mannie leave me the fuck alone! " I looked behind me to see if Michael was coming but he wasn't I walked into the kitchen

" bitch I know where you lay your head at you will see me around " he hung up

I was lost in thought about how this nigga could possible find me. tomorrow morning I was going to get my number changed.

" baby ? " I jumped when I heard Michael

" oh I'm coming " I walked toward the bathroom

I undressed an slowly slipped in the tub . Michael sat on the edge bathing me.

" baby your shaking , what's wrong ? " he asked passing the towel over my shoulders

I looked up at him he was such a gentlemen I couldn't believe he was mines" Michael promise me you won't ever hurt me or leave me ? "

he smiled " I promise "

" I know you said we shouldn't talk about our past because we should focus on our future but I think there are some things you need to know " I said taking his hand in mines

" Mekka whatever it is just let it stay in the past I won't judge you on your past"

I smiled weakly " let's just hope it stays in the past " I mumbled to myself
