Turning on my heels I asked the bar tender to go restock the bar as I made my way into the back storage room. Often times when I wasn’t in town I had my manager take over everything. But when I was here I nearly took control of things.

                I could hear Troy behind me tussling around the bar area to follow me to the back. I increased the speed in my steps to dodge his efforts of catching up to me. “Don’t follow me!” I announced pulling the storage room door open and flicking on the light.

                Troy rushed in behind me gripping my arm in the process. I swung around in anger preparing to slap the shit out of him. Pushing me in, he kicked the door behind him with his foot and pulled me into him. His breathing was so heavy that I...

Hey you, how was your day today? I pray you didn’t let your peers get to you as you normally do. I notice the loneliness in your eyes sometimes when you walk the hallways of your school. And yes I understand that you don’t fit in with most of the girls, but guess what you’re not supposed to fit in.

Can I introduce myself first however? You may not believe it but I am you. Only fifteen years later. I promise you I am, so don’t laugh or ball up this letter because this letter is especially for you. I watch you every day and I smile at you sometimes. Although you don’t know that I am here but I am. I am with you with each step that you take.

The other day in your room after Mama cooked, ya’ll watched the basketball game together and then you were off to your room to write as...

All of this talk about having the right booty can get on your nerves. Exactly what is the definition of a donkey booty or as we use to say coming up a bodonka donk. I took the challenge over two years ago to lose enough weight to steer my high blood pressure in the right direction. After succeeding with dropping my weight loss goal I kept going. With each challenge you have to switch it up and thus I have come up with my newest challenge.

With losing weight comes the challenge of toning up. I don’t know which is harder changing your eating habits, dropping weight, or building muscle. Well shoot they all have their challenges if you truly think about it. All of them require being strong mentally and thus I walk into my newest challenge. Why don’t you join me?

                I would never admit that I ran from my problems. But then again we can lie to ourselves the best. No wonder I was sitting here listening to this man talk a good game. I don’t know what the hell he was saying but he looked good saying it. I had to block his good looks out of my mind, because since making partner it was my duty to keep personal and business separated. That is besides Keith.

Hmmm just thinking about Keith gets me wet right now. I loved to feel that man in between my legs and for a damn good reason too. He was good at what he did. But who was I fooling, I was torn.

Trying to take my mind off of my own issues I took my attention back to my colleague, David a junior partner in my marketing firm along with myself. He offered to take me out...
