Ever found yourself between a rock & a hard place? Sure...what about between a Goddess & an Angel? Maynor is about to experience both all at once...question is can he choose?
"That'll be $2.37 Mr Holt," the girl at the cash register said as I handed her 3 dollar bills.
"Thank ya sweetheart," I told ha befo' biting into da sausage roll I'd purchased.
She gave me a soft smile befo focusing on da next person in line.
I left out into the chilly Brooklyn mornin' adjusting ma hoodie. It was early January so in the mid 40s.

"What kinda shii," I said as I tasted da coffee I'd also bought. Shit tasted like stale Starbucks and hot ass.
I sighed as I threw it into a nearby garbage pile. I was runnin late fa work today so didn't have time stop at ma usual coffee shop, and opted fa this lah convenience store nearby.
"Imma just drink ma spit I guess," I mumble to ma self as I headed fa da subway.
25 minutes later.
" You late Maynor," my supervisor Larry said.
"Ma bad man. My alarm ain't went off, forgot ta put in new batteries.
"It's all good. Mr Kirkpatrick just brought in your 9am. Double check the radiator on it too." Larry told me as I glanced in da direction of da garage.
I'd worked at Dis hea auto shop goin on two years now. It wasn't da greatest paying job but I loved bein a mechanic so it was worthwhile ta a nigga.
"Ouuuu, we got never lose what you thought?" Ma coworker Rhea came in singin'
"Shut yo young ma wannabe head ass up," I said as I stood up from ma inspection of da BMW in front of me.
"I will soon as you pay me ma hush money," she joked. I'd bet on the Giants beatin da Steelers last night, but them muufuckers went and lost. Now a nigga owed Rhea $50.
"Nice doing business with ya foo!" She joked again, milly rockin on back to a truck she was changin da bumper on.
I chuckled at ha befo resumin ma work. It was gon be a long ass Monday since I ain't had no coffee....

I tapped my fingers as I began slowly getting frustrated with this Manhattan traffic. My break would be ending in 3 minutes and I was still several blocks away from the firm.
"Pleaseee move," I trailed my words as agitation took over. I loved New York but driving in this place was a complete waste. I usually took the subway but because I knew I would be working through lunch today, I decided I'd take my car in order to grab some food on my morning break. Bad idea
