Beautiful Disaster, Lashanda Carter [the little red hen ebook .txt] 📗

“Well Sunnie I really enjoyed our interview. You are so refreshing. You can be assured one of our openings is yours. I know the rest of the team will love you. I will call you a week before orientation.” Mrs. Carter shook her hand and led Sunnie out of her office door.
“Thank You Mrs. Carter I will be waiting and once again thank you” with that sunnie turned towards the elevators and pressed the button. Once on the elevator she did a little dance and couldn’t contain herself let out a cry of joy. She could not believe she had gotten the job. She had wanted something like this for so long. The opportunity to really help someone.

The Family and Friends Center was a place for families and teens in the neighborhood that was in need of support. A lot of it was resources for abused spouse, troubled, and pregnant teens, adults looking to go back to school or just needing someone to talk to. The Center was in need of some real help to, sunnie had first heard about job openings unofficially on the news when three of the counselors had been arrested for selling and providing drugs for some of the teens and strung out adults. So she decided to just go in and ask if they were going to replace the counselors and they were. She never really thought about what if they did hire her. She was going to have to give Mr. Neely her boss at the firm two weeks’ notice she couldn’t wait to tell her friend Camille.
As soon as Sunnie got home she called Camille.
“Girl I got the job! Sunnie screamed into the phone. She really let her excitement take over.
“Congratulations sunnie I told you not to worry. You have a big heart and they can’t deny that you could help that neighborhood out a lot. You know we have to go out to celebrate so what up where we going?”
“I don’t care but get ready to dance you know how I do!” They both laughed in agreement.
“Just be ready by nine. I will be by to get you alright Sunny.”NEW BREAK
“Okay girl”
“Once again I am so proud of you and I know you are exactly what they need. I always got faith in you; you don’t know how awesome you are.” Camille was getting choked up
“Thanks girl and I love you! Now rest up cause it’s going down tonight”
“Bye” they said at the same time.
When Sunnie hung up the phone she thought about how much Camille had been there for her, helped her get on her feet and through school. Sunnie thought about how many times she wanted to give up but Camille was right there on her ass. Sunnie went to S&B to get her associates for Paralegal Studies and Camille came to her class as a speaker one night. They just clicked and when Sunnie graduated Camille gave her a reference for her firm where she worked and they have been friends ever since. That was 4 years ago.
Sunnie had a lot of respect for Camille she was a stunning woman for 25 she already owned her own house, was well traveled and beautiful inside and out. 5’11 and built like an Amazon princess, coco brown skin, short chic hair cut always with a bang over her right eye, she was very attractive. Camille had something that Sunnie admired and wanted to obtain in life. Pure happiness.
Sunnie was right beautiful to. Her smile which was her best feature and it made others smile especially men. Milk chocolate smooth complexion, her locks were neat and ran just past her shoulder when not pulled up. Almond shaped eyes that had a mystery to them. When she entered a room most men noticed her and stared. This embarrassed Sunnie a lot she did not understand what it was that she had a natural beauty.
Sunny was checking herself out in the mirror listening to her 90’s jams like always. As she bopped back and forth to Ghost’s Town DJay’s my Boo she was really feeling the outfit she chose. A royal purple silk pleated dress and some black leather pumps, she added s single crystal black bangle, black crystal chain with key and lock, and a pair of black shell moon shaped earrings. NEW BREAK
Her locks were piped cleaned (that’s when you girl you locs with pipe cleaners) and pinned up on the right side. Yes she said to herself she did an ill shimmy, turned the radio off, and grabbed her purse. Everything she needed was already in there.
“Dang girl who trying to pick up tonight?” Camilla looked at her girl with pride Sunny was one gorgeous women. If she only knew how beautiful she really was.
“Girl I wish I could look as good as you without make-up! So you ready to go do the damn thing? I even got on some real dancing shoes tonight!” Sunny looked towards the floor at Camilla shoes. Camilla was wearing flats! She could not believe it. She still looked good from what Sunny could see. She was wearing a off the shoulder multi colored romper with all her gold jewelry. Camille loved her gold bangles and hoops. All different sizes she always rocked hoops.
They were going to have dinner at Stages. It was nice little spot with music and good food. A lot of local bands played there. Stages was not a club at all it was for the older crowd and there was no drama when the night was over.
As they walked in they could smell the scent of Caribbean cosine. Stages had the best Jerk Chicken might as well be straight from the island. Well it was the chef and owner was Jamaican. The restaurant slash lounge could hold about 300 people easily. There was the bar area which was in the center of the establishment. Behind the bar they had four pool tables, a dart board and a tables where people could play cards dominos. On the right of the bar was the stage and a small but dissent dance floor. To the left you had the dining area; the tables had yellow and black table clothes with floating candles shaped as flowers for centerpieces. There were booths along the wall which was covered with pictures of bands that played there. The greats like BOB Marley, Marvin Gaye, Patti Labelle, and Tina Turner just to name a few.
It will be about 10 minutes for a table if you ladies want to sit at the bar. The host pointed to the bar. She was an older woman about 60 and she had an accent.
“yes thank you.” Sunny and Camilla said at the same time. They shared a laugh and walked to the bar. NEW BREAK
“Nice crowd in here tonight girl. Maybe I will get lucky and find me a man tonight. It has been to long!” Camilla laughed at her own joke
“girl how long is long?” Sunny asked
“almost 2 month’s girl. Momma needs a rub down real bad!” Camilla raised her hand “can I get a witness?”
“2 months is not long girl a year is long”
“what are you talking about you get some on the regular”
“I did not say for me I am just saying that is a long time and I have gone a year before and that is nooo funn!” They both laughed.
“so what up with you and your adulterous lover?”
Sunny did not really like to talk about her relationship with Star. He wasn’t married but he had a girlfriend and a son. She wasn’t looking for a man to be around all the time she just wanted someone to hug up with every now and then when she needed it. Star was that someone. They met when he came to her office to talk to a lawyer he had gotten himself into some trouble. She knew he was trouble from the minute he walked into the office. Looking like a gangster Morris chestnut. Tall, deep chocolate skin, built like a line backer, and the brightest smile she had ever seen. He flirted with her and it worked. This was during the year of her having no sex. So she was itching already and he looked like he could be pure fun, so she gave him her number on the back of his next appointment card. And it started from there.
Fun it was for the first four months. He took to nice restaurants, shopping, Jamaica, and Hawaii, and they just vegged out a lot just talking about what they wanted for their futures. She had started to really fall for him which she really did not want to do but it was happening. Star seemed really to be into her too. He was sweet, loving, romantic, polite, and A+ in the bedroom. She thought she had it pretty good. New BREAK
“Did Star tell you he is someone’s daddy? We have a 3 yr old son together. While he running around with you I am at home taking care of his child and being all alone. Do you know who I am bitch!!? DO YOU?” Sunny hung up the phone. Stars number called back 28 times she did not pick up the phone once. In the morning she changed her number and put star and his girlfriend out of her mind. Fo Star never mentioned in those first fourth months about his girlfriend Lisa and their 3 year old son. And he did not act like he had something to hide. He always answered when she called and was always available to come over when she called. Till one day her phone rang it was Star’s number she picked up and in her sexiest voice said” Hey baby me and my lady were just thinking about you”
“This is not your baby this is his girlfriend. Bitch who the fuck are you!” A woman’s voiced screamed over the phone. Sunny just stared at the phone while the woman continued to talk.
r two weeks she had not seen or heard from Star when he walked into her office on a Tuesday afternoon. She was about to take her lunch.
“I am really sorry Sunny. I wanted to tell you about my life but I was scared that you would not want to be with me anymore. But I am leaving my girlfriend as soon as I start living legit so I can get my son from her she is crazy for real. I love you I know you don’t believe me but I do” Star look at her with pleading eyes. Damn he was fine.
“well you are right. I don’t want to be with you anymore when I want to fuck I will call you and that is all we are going to have nothing more nothing less. So you can leave now and wait for my call.” Sunny turned and left the office with that statement. Star stood there looking more than lost.
After that she did not call him for a month but when she did he came running and she would not allow him to speak when he was there. He just had to do what she said. He was her sex slave and she loved it. He was too because he kept coming every time she called. She never told Camille about their falling out just that they had slowed it down a lot. NEW BREAK
“don’t say it like that he is not married. And we are doing
