Weeks had passed since I moved out of the condo with Damien's cheating ass and I've been slowly getting back to being myself again. That shit really fucked me up inside. I loved him so much and he broke me. Everything I wanted from him he already had with her.

After finally answering one of his hundred calls he made to me after I trashed our apartment and wrote cheater on the walls with red pain, I found out that he was married, four years to be exact and not only did he have a daughter but a son that was thirteen.

Uhh I felt so stupid. How could I not know about any of this shit?

As I began to feel like my life was falling apart my phone lit up one day. I could just feel the love through the text Ermias sent so much that I ugly cried. He always knew how to make me feel better while at my lowest point. Though this little waiting game he was playing with me was annoying, I decided to wait for him.

In the mean time I will be putting my all into acting. My dreams were finally coming to fruition when I recently signed a deal for Queen of the Hustle getting $500,000 an episode. Life was really looking up for me and I couldn't be more happy.

I guess it's true what they say about how when god closes one door he opens another.

Cleo had just left for work and I was sitting in the guest room she let me stay in when my phone began to ring. It was my mom and I quickly answered it.

"Hey Ma' what's up!?" I answered cheerfully.

"Hey boo I was wondering if you wanted to go with me to the mall. Ya daddy is flying me out to Atlanta and I need some new clothes!" She responded before I pulled the phone back looking at it sideways.

My mom was just talking about how he ain't shit and he need to stop messing with these young hoes before he catch something and now she getting new clothes to see him.

"Ma you know for a divorced couple he stay flying you out and you stay getting excited." For her birthday he flew her to Paris and let's just say sis was walking a little funny when she got back.

"Mind ya business hea! That nigga better fly me wherever after all his bullshit. And maybe there is still love there. But sometimes you got to use Whatchu got to get Whatchu want. And what I got gone get me two things out his ass."

"And what's that Ma'?" I questioned curiously.

"Dick and Money! If you need I'll show you thing or two about how to pimp a nigga." My mom said with much conviction and I nearly threw up in my mouth.

"Uhh! No thanks mama I'm good in the penis and money department." I said quickly not wanting to continue with this topic.

"Whatever you say just remember ya mama is still a hot bitch. But anyway you coming or not?" I smacked my teeth before answering.

"Yea little miss Hottie I'll be there. Bye girl!"

"Bye baby see in a few." She said before we hung up.

I soon got dressed and a hour and a half later I was parking at the South Coast Plaza in Coasta Mesa. I met up with my mom in the food court before heading to Fendi.

"Ooh baby you like this dress!?" My mom asked as she twirled and sashayed in a brown Fendi sweater dress she was trying on. " Yea Ma that's cute and that bawdy! Looking real nice sis. Daddy eyes gone pop out his skull when he see this." I told her as she smiled staring at herself in the mirror.

My mother was a beautiful 43 year old woman with a body to die for. I prayed to the heavens I looked as good as her as I get older.

"Oh! Boog I forgot to tell you Eden called me the other day talking my head off for hours." My mom said excitedly making me smile.
