Forbidden Fruit

CHAPTER TWO

* AT THE BEGINNING OF IT ALL*

I was already late for my marketing class and it couldn't have gotten any worse. Cali's traffic is always out of hand on Monday mornings. Everyone was busy heading to work or dropping kids to school.

My music stopped abruptly as my phone began to ring. Looking down from the road i swiped to answer before putting my attention back where it need to be.

"You late!"

 I rolled my eyes already mentally prepared  to deal with India's ways.

INDIA

Name: India Maraj

Age:19 yrs

Height: 5'5

Ethnicity: African-American,Spanish,Creole and Indian  

Profession: College Student and Sugar Baby

Location:California Bay Area (Hayward)

"Thanks mom!" i said rolling my eyes, she always acted like it even when she didn't need to but i could never ask for a better best friend. India was pretty like the true of definition of Perfect! 

We both met during  orientation,she was bold and made her was towards me stating that we were now friends. She always had great ideas and is quite goal oriented so we hit it off quite well.

"Im pulling in now" i said hanging up the phone. India was a case for Kiara to deal with but she was a good friend and they needed each other more than anything.

"Took you long enough" India shouted over to Kiara who was making her way towards her.

"Good Morning to you too" she replied taking her  seat next to her best friend.

"Morning"

"So are you excited" squealed india, Kiara wasn't as happy as India was for her fathers Charity Ball. 

The charity ball was an event her father hosted every year. Kiara wasn't very fond of it, viewing it  as snubs who thought paying  charity wouldn't make them look less shallow than they already were.

K's father associated with higher class whether young or old.  He kept his business circle wide making connections, viewing it as an opportunity for his business to grow. Something she admired. 

India rolled her eyes , "Well i am" she said waiting for a response which she knew she wasn't going to get.

 "You know it's the same thing every year" K replied while scrolling through her i********:.

"s**t! Don't matter to me, I get to find a new sugar daddy" 

K bursted out in laughter  which resulted in her getting a few weird stares from those around her. Her best friend wasn't joking she was the true definition of a sugar baby. Attaining things that she not one day in her life worked for, it was given to her in exchange for s*x.

Not that K judged her but it wasn't her cup of tea.

India didn't care all she saw were dollar signs and that's all she cared about. She didn't come from a well off family as K did and she survived by any means. She messed with older men all the time,this was her living.

Wanting to introduce Kiara to it any chance she got. Thinking to herself that she needed it, well  mainly the thought of a mature man handling her is what she needed.

"Never hurts to give it a try" she sung will kissing her friend cheeks 

K didn't need anything and she knew that.She wasn't too long out a relationship and she wasn't about to get into one especially with any older man her father would flip much less for any man around her. 

In came the professor signaling the beginning of class the girls turned their attention to him tuning in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Marketing schemes due for next week's class" said Mr.Bronxas raising his hand to dismiss them.

"Finally!" India stressed as she pushed past a guy to catch up with Kiara.

They both hopped into K's rover driving into the evenings traffic, "You know i need a car" India explained

"That's something I've never asked for" she chuckled turning her focus to Kiara

 The girls were heading to India's house to get her over night bag . Cruising through the highway they sang to the radio.

Within a few minutes they pulled up in front of her house. India lived in a fancy house it was one of the things she obtained from having a sugar daddy. It was just her and her mom, she never knew her dad and she was okay with that. Already having to deal with her mother who was a drug addict she didn't need the drama of finding her dad. 

Having to grow up at a young age allowed her to be the way she was today, blaming it on her mother and her poor parental skill.

"I'll be back sit tight" she said before closing the car door and heading into the house.

Kiara decided to call her mother to see how things were coming along.

"Where are you?" she said cutting her off before she could talk.

"The designer is here with your dress,where are you?"

"I'll be around in a few, i'm with India"

She could hear her mother scuffing on the other side of the line, she knew she wasn't too fund of India.

"Oh, Yusuf is here" she could hear the excitement in her mother's voice. Yusuf was Kiara's Ex boyfriend they were on and off since his cheating scandal went viral. She knew she didn't need that kind of drama tonight, however her mother loved having him around. They haven't spoken since last two months which kept her from going crazy. He was an asshole and she hated his guts more than ever.

Yusuf didn't stop at it he wanted her back but he couldn't settle between her and the girls he constantly lusted for. She rolled her eyes mentally and palmed her face in her hands

"Alright" she said before hanging up.

"Alright Woman"India shouted while walking off on her mother. A laughed escaped from K, both India and her mom was a headcase. They clashed heads more than often.

She started the engine again and india hopped into the car.

"Told her to come off that s**t and look for a damn job!"  India blurted out

"There she is again waiting up on that stupid man"

 "She is hooked how dumb can she be she don't need him" 

Kiara never commented on that particular situation, she knew things were hard for India's mom and all she was searching for was someone to love her. The same thing India was doing but she didn't even realize.
