*Quinn Monae Lucus*

I've changed. I've matured. I've grown into a new person, and to me I'm doing a lot better than what I was doing 6 Year's ago back in college. See I was that weak minded young girl that had my life already planned out. I was going to be writing music, performing at the awards with my bitch Beyoncé some damn where.... but where am I at now? Selling drugs... with 2 kids, a 6 year old boy named kemon and a 3 year old daughter named kamani, waiting for a miracle to come about. Here I am... back in the Bronx... where it all began... from where I met my bitch Nani, and where I met my boy Bestfriend deandre. See me and Nani been best friends since elementary school, and I met deandre through her. He didn't go to our school but he lived in Nani neighborhood. He was sweetheart, I really wish I wasn't a fool back in college... I could've married a top notch lawyer, but hey, bitches make mistakes, all I could do is learn from them... and I'm paying for them now.

Ok y'all enough with the mellow drama... let me tell you how a good life turned into my worse....

~6 Year's Ago~

"Ooh man it feels so good to be out that damn class. Shit I feel like I just worked a 12 hour shift." Nani said walking into our dorm room. "Ok bitch cause it was not that bad." I said closing my laptop. I got up to follow Nani into the kitchen when I noticed a big ass hickey on her neck. "Bitchhhhhh.... where was yo ass at?" I said smartly placing my hand on my hip. "What you talkin bout... hahaha." She smirked covering her neck walking away into her bedroom. See, Nani been messing around with Cornelius, Raven baby daddy. Nani and Raven been beefed out since our senior year of high school over Cornelius no life, funky, broke bummy raggedy ass. I never liked him, to me all he did was play each of them against each other, waiting for them to be at each other throats, and he couldn't stand my ass cause I was on it like white on rice, ain't no running game on my bitch, well that's how it was back then... NOW... I don't say shit, cause my bitch is just dumb in love with a broke down ass nigga. I ignored her laughter and made my way to bed.

"BEEP.... BEEEP.....BEEEP..... BEEEP" was the sound of my alarm clock waking me up for volleyball practice. As I got out of bed I immediately hopped in the shower and began to wash my smooth golden brown skin, and began washing my curly brown hair. "Quinn !!! Come yo slow ass on.... We have practice." Yelled Nani from outside the bathroom. I played volleyball and because I played, Nani feels as if she can claim our team hahaha. I hopped out the shower and began to look into my wardrobe, trying to figure out what workout outfit I was going to wear... I decided on a peach color Nike sports bra, with black Nike compression shorts.

As we left the house my phone began to ring, it was deandre. "Hello......" I answered slowly, waiting for a response. "Wassup, where you at?" He asked with his southern accent. "On my way to practice, why?" I asked in a smart way. "Cause I have a surprise for you, now meet me by the locker room, no more questions." He said, causing me to grin to myself. See Deandre meant a lot to me, he cared about my dreams and how dedicated I was to make them come true. As Nani and I entered the gymnasium i immediately made my way towards the locker room where D said he was going to meet me, before I knew it I noticed i trail of Valentine's Day chocolate pieces leading to the gymnasium roof, so I followed picking up each piece.

Soon as I got to roof I couldn't help but notice a small table for two with flowers and food. "Damn Quinn, how long was it going to take you to get here. Hahaha." Dre said causing me to laugh to myself. "My bad, I was dealing with Nani this morning. This is beautiful." I said grabbing a grape, tossing it in my mouth. "I know right, perfect view. I brought you up here just to show you how much you mean to me." I just looked at him and smiled softly. "Q, from the day I met you, you have been very special to me. Now that I got the confidence, I would like to ask you to be my girlfriend." He asked sitting me down in the chair. I smiled and grabbed his hand and before I knew it I noticed his watch time. "OH SHIT !!!!! I'm late!" I got up And immediately ran back to practice. "LUCUS ! There you are... you are 27 minutes late, where the hell were you? You are captain, you are supposed to lead by example... WHAT THE FUCK ! Start doing laps..." coach screamed at me, and I took off to do my laps... I had so much on my mind my vision began to get blurry.

As I'm doing my laps, I noticed myself getting a little light headed, but I continued running and before I knew it, i ran into a bunch of tall, muscular, sweaty men. I immediately hit the ground, and before I knew it, I noticed someone lifting me from off the floor. "Damn lul baby, you might wanna watch where you going, you can get hurt around these parts." A guy said, while lifting me into his arms. I looked at his face and couldn't help but notice a tall, brown skin male, with beautiful brown eyes, with small dimples on each side of his face, his hair was cut low with a taper, with a full cleaned up beard and mustache. He grinned at me, and I couldn't help but to blush. "Umm... first of all, you were in... my way." I said smartly, pushing myself out of his arms. "Ok... lul miss attitude." He said grinning at me. I rolled my eyes, and took off running again.

At the end of practice I couldn't help but to reminisce about that fine piece of cake back there and also about D expressing how he feel about me and wanting to be with me. I'm nervous because we have a good ass friendship and I don't want to ruin it with a relationship, but then again... it's probably something I need. I just really have a lot to think about I guess.
