fled the state that same night. I caught a flight to my Aunt Shay house that stayed In North Carolina. I lived with her for a few weeks then enrolled into the army.
Ashley was staring at me with tears falling from her face. I got up to wipe the tears from her eyes and held her chin up to look at me.
"Look Shorty, I'm sorry I hurt you ma, I was just young and dumb and full of rage. I didn't mean to hurt you and leave you hanging. I love you like a little sister and I don't want you to ever feel that way about me again. I just want you to forgive me," I said with an apologetic look on my face.
She backed up away from me moving her face away from my hand. "You good," she sniffled wiping the tears in her face.
I had a feeling those weren’t her forgiving words.

Ashley
"You good" I sniffled wiping tears from my face.
I don't know if I should forgive him so soon. I believe what he said but he still left me hanging, leaving me to fend for myself. I don't know if I should trust him again. I was, relieved that Poppy was the one who grabbed me up from the bus stop and took me into his home. He was right anything could've happened to me and me thank God I was off the street somewhere safe.
I looked down at myself seeing how tore up I was.
"You don't mind me taking a shower do you," I asked in a soft voice.
"Oh no go right ahead," he said walking toward the door. "I’ll bring you some clean clothes to put on," he said walking out the room.
A few minutes later he came back in handing me some pink Victoria Secrets sweat pants and a shirt with a towel and a rag. I went into the bathroom and took me an hour long bath and a 10 minute shower. I haven't taken a bath in my life that felt so good. The warm water from the bath was soothing to my sore bones. I got out the shower, lotion myself down and put on the clothes he gave me. I walked out the bathroom into the bedroom. I saw that it stopped raining and the sunlight trying peek out. When I was looking through the window I could see Poppi’s whole back yard. It was absolutely beautiful. I walked out the room into the hallway. I’m trying to find my way to the living room but got lost. Poppi’s house was huge. Bump that, he stayed in a fucking mansion.
Poppi
I stayed in this newly rebuilt 4,915sqft modern estates in Beverly Hills. Designed by the acclaimed Stewart-Gulrajani design team and set on a private lot on a quiet cul-de-sac on the hill overlooking the city. The home featured a beautiful formal living room with 20' ceilings, formal dining room, family room, den and media room with 7.1 surround sound, retractable screen and wet bar. Automation included security cameras and state of art "control4" home automation.
I had four-bedroom with 4 full bathrooms and two partial bathrooms. Bedrooms were all suites and the large master suite had a fireplace, oversized bath and a dressing room. Gourmet Kitchen with custom winged cabinetry, Italian statuary white countertops. I also had a beautiful saltwater pool and spa overlooking the large grassy back yard that's perfect for entertaining.
Ashley made her way through the house unto the living room speechless. She had never seen or been in a house so big and beautiful in her life.
What the fuck he does to afford a house like this , she said out loud to herself.
She was looking at Pictures that were posted on in the living room. When she came across a picture of these strikingly beautiful women. The lady in the picture looked like she could be in her early twenties. She had soft tan skin with curly sandy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. While she was studying the picture I crept up behind her startling her.
''Oh shit boy don't be scaring me like that," she said placing her hand over her chest
''Oh my bad shorty," I chuckle "What you doing," I sked.
"Nothing just looking at the pictures on the wall, who is she," Ashley said while
