A Mothers Love

I don't know why it was so easy to talk to him, we sat there eating as I shared with him my life story. I've never told anybody my story but something about this man made feel like I could trust him. The look in his eyes made me want to share my secrets while the power and command in his voice made me want to submit in every way. I had ate most of the food he bought me all that was left was the chicken salad sandwich and fries which I decided I would save for tomorrow morning.

It was 8:00 when I finished and he had just sat quietly listening not letting his face show his emotions. "I want to help you." He said looking down at me, I smiled softly no one could help me but me it was a nice gesture though. "And how would you do that?" I said crossing my arms under my chest, "Simple I'll buy you an apartment tomorrow and you can move in then I'll even help you myself." He said with sincerity in his voice, I cocked an eyebrow at him. This was to good to be true the fact that this beautiful man is siting in front of me practically begging me to take this apartment, was inconceivable. I wanted so badly to believe that this man could be the help in needed, i looked him in his eyes for a long moment then decided to take a leap of faith. The worst that could happen is him saying he was joking and walking away. "Okay I'll take the apartment but I don't get paid a lot so rent can't be too high." I said waiting for him so tell me he was kidding. "You don't have to worry about rent, the apartment is free I own the building." He said smirking at me again I kept my composure not showing him how shocked I was. "Well I still wanna pay you rent I wouldn't feel right free loading like that." I said honestly I hated people doing things for me because they always want a favor in return and they hold it over your head. "Well what do you have in mind?" He asked seemingly uncomfortable "Well I make 700 dollars a month not including tips," I said doing calculations in my head " So I could pay you 400 a month I said trying to get the closest number to normal apartment rates without being broke. He immediately shook his head " No that's more than half your pay check, rent since you wanna pay it so bad can be 200 dollars." I already started shaking my head before he finished "That's to little-" "200 dollars take it or leave it." He said cutting me off, I sighed I wanted this bad so I had no choice and he knew it. "Fine I'll take it." I said and sat back grumpily.

He shot my a smile that took my breath away, once I started breathing again he laid the check " Do you have a phone so I can call you about the apartment?" He asked standing up, I stood after him "No I don't have a phone but my current address is 1205 power view apartment J." I said grabbing my stuff to get back to work. "Okay thanks I'll see you around." He said giving me a parting smile that sent shivers to my toes. After he left I finished my shift which ended at closing around 12:30 once I was done I went home on the bus and climbed and the sheets with the face of Alex in my dreams.

Bang bang I sat up groggily in my bed it was Sunday and it was the only day I didn't have to work. Bang bang I groaned and got out of bed and went in to the living room. My mom was siting on the couch with ponytail man, Bang bang "I know you hear the door go get it bitch." She said rolling her eyes. "Oh so it's your house but you can't get the door?" I mumbled "The fuck you say hoe!" She shouted from her seat. I rolled my eyes and opened the door to see Alex with a bright smile on his face. He was wearing a black suit looking evacuate behind him were the other to men I saw him with the first time he came to the diner. I felt stupid standing there in a fade gray shirt with holes in it and baggy sweat pants covered in stains from cleaning. "Morning Rose." Alex said his face bright "Umm morning Alex... What are your one here?" I asked wanting to shut the door in his face and hurry to change my clothes. "We are here to help you move so come on let's get to it." He said pushing his way into the apartment, I let the others in and was just shutting the door before I heard yelling. "Bitch who the fuck dis is you got up in my house!" I went into the living room to see my mother standing there boney hands on her hips with her face twisted in a grimace. " Oh I forgot to tell you, mom I'm moving out so yeah and this is Alex and his friends they are helping me move." I said smugly I watched with joy as her eye burned with rage, I turned to Alex "Come on I'll show you to my room I don't have any boxes or anything g to pack with though." I said looking at the floor, "That's okay." Alex said following me he picked up his phone and pressed a button "Jack bring the stuff up." The he hung up.

Web we all stepped into my room I watched as all three of them looked around the small space and felt embarrassment cool in my gut. It was clean but I barely had anything and what I did have was very worn. Moments later yow other men came in with boxes, I could hear my mother screeching at the top of here lungs about the men. I smiled an started packing, we soon came up with a system I would pack it and the guys would take it down to the car. It only took about 45 minutes since I didn't have much to begin with I only had 6 boxes and once I realized this it mad me sad that all my 17 years of life could fit into 6 boxes. Once finished we all left my room my mother was back on the couch and when I passed she grabbed my arm tightly. "I hope you got some good pussy hitch because when he's done with you and kicks your fat ass to the curb." She laughed at this "You ain't coming back her." She let go of my arm and let out a deep belly laugh that shook her frail body, rage poured through my vanes like water down a stream. "I would never come back here, I would rather live in a cardboard box on the street then move back in with a crack head." I said my voice laced with venom so sour I could taste it. That stopped her laugh "What the fuck you just call me you worthless bitch!" My mother screamed I turned my back on her and walked out of the apartment with her screaming profanities at my back.
