“Ok then sugar baby.  I will see you tomorrow evening”

“Looking forward to it sugar momma” I joke but not really as I step out of the car.  She blows me a kiss as I shake my head and close the door and walk to the entrance of my apartment building.  I turn and watch her pull out onto the street and drive away.  I smile because for the first time in my 25 years of life I’m happy.  But part of me wonders if I can keep my feelings from developing as she considers this as a business arrangement…but to me… it’s so much more than that as I much as I want to deny it.

The next afternoon I called Vickie and told her about going exclusive with Tina and she said that Tina had already called her and had faxed  Tina the company terms to add to the contract as far as commission from my monetary compensation.  After she teased me about finally getting ‘hitched’ she said she would officially take me off the available list once she receives the signed contract but for now I am no longer available for hire.

As I pull up to my sisters apartment and park I can’t help but wonder how much of my personal life I want to reveal to Tina.  Talking about my parents is definitely a very hard subject for me but I don’t think there is anything in my life I wouldn’t share with her and I was never personal with my clients.  I never told them anything private but with Tina it’s different and I feel like I can trust her with my deep most darkest secrets when I am ready but for now I’m just going to keep certain things close to my vest.

Now it’s time to shift my focus on my sisters who know I have a key but decided to leave the door unlocked anyway.  They drive me crazy with their lack of security so I find myself bitching when I enter their apartment.

“How hard is it to twist two locks on the door.  It’s like you are literally inviting danger in” I fuss apparently to no one because the living room is empty…But then  I see Rachel bobbing her head up and down washing dishes in the sink.  I shake my head as I know she has her ear buds in and music full blast.  Time to teach her a lesson.
