My Secret Life

Chapter 13

" See I got to keep it real with you baby

Cause the s**t I used to do is what made me

And I'm hoping I am not going go back to the trap

Cause we really know that we don't want that

But if I don't make it home tonight

Tell my mama that I love her

Leave some flowers for my brother

Girl I love you

But if I don't make it home tonight

Take some money to my sister

I don't ever want her chasing after niggas

Cause where I'm from

Niggas out here dying every day

And they aren’t no bad, they just trying to make a way

And I am not no different

So if I get missing

These are my last wishes

I hope you get them right

Girl if I don't make it home tonight

I know it's harsh

But this is how I feel, girl it's coming from the heart

I hope it doesn't end the way it had to start

Cause it started out bad but I made it this far

But everyone isn’t trying to see me make it

Or they only want to see me win so they can take it

Cause I know it's hard to find a job

So niggas kill and rob

There's a chance that I won't make it here tomorrow

Being honest"

Moriah POV...

It was the weekend and I had to fly out to Hawaii to do a drug trade.

I had my rider Samantha with me like always.

I wouldn't know what to do without this girl.

She had been my best friend for years.

I Remember It Like It Was Yesterday.

3rd Grade.......

I was sitting at a table by myself doing math problems while the other kids drew Halloween pictures.

I wasn't the type of kid that liked to play at school I was all about my work.

Then in walks the most beautiful girl I have ever laid my eyes on.

"Aww you must be our new student Samantha." The teacher said.

She nodded.

She had the most beautiful face I have ever seen.

She was a goddess in my eyes.

"Well you can join the other kids or you can go join our honor student Moriah."

I looked to see the girl staring at me.

Then she made her way over to me.

"Hi I'm Samantha."

"Moriah."

"That's a cute name."

"Thanks your name isn't so bad either."

She smiled at me and my heart melted.

Look at me I got a 3rd grade crush.

"So what made you come here."

"My parents just moved down here. They were offered better jobs with better pay so here we are."

"Cool. So what do your parents do."

"My mom is a doctor and my dad well he works from home for now he owns a chain of business and his company relocated him here cause the company down here was offering more."

I was amazed at the words she knew.

"Your vocabulary is amazing."

She laughed at me.

"Thank you. You speak pretty well too."

"I know 3 languages. English Spanish and Italian."

"Wow that's nice."

I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Want to be friends." She asked.

"Honey we became friends when you sat at my table."

She laughed at my joke.

"You are funny Riah."

I smiled at her.

I had a friend.

8th grade.....

"Samantha I heard your gay is it true you and Riah are dating." The middle school kids teased Samantha as she walked down the hall.

"Hay lay off leave her alone."

"Look at Moriah coming to defend her little girlfriend."

"She isn’t my girlfriend but she is my best friend and I will beat your ass for f*****g with her."

"Riah come on don't their not worth it lets just go."

"Yeah Riah listen to your little girlfriend."

"I said she isn’t my girlfriend." I said angrily pushing the girl down and giving her one good punch to the face.

"Moriah stop." Samantha pulled me up.

"Moriah in my office." The principal said.

I looked at Samantha and walked in the office.

Great 5 days for punching someone just great my parents are going to kill me.

I saw Samantha by my locker and walked up to her.

"Well 5 days isn't so bad."

"Why did you have to punch her." Samantha shouted.

"I was defending myself and you what's the problem Sammy."

"That was unnecessary you could have left it alone."

"And have everyone think we're dating and that you have a thing for me."

"I do have a....."

I looked at her waiting for her to finish.

"I got to go bye Riah see you tomorrow."

What the f**k.

Now my best friend is mad at me just great.

"Sammy wait."

She stopped in the middle or the hallway.

"I'm sorry."

She turned and looked at me and it looked like she was crying.

I walked up to her and whipped her tears.

"Don't be mad aye best friend it would kill me."

She looked at me.

"Can I get a smile."

She smiled at me.

"I accept your apology but next time I say leave it alone leave it and walk away."

I nodded.

10th grade.....

"Sammy I don't see why you just won't go out with the guy."

"He just isn't my type he doesn't have what I'm looking for."

" Your standards are to high."

"He just doesn't meet them. They are not hard to meet my standards are medium."

"Come on Sammy it has to be someone you are interested in."

"There is but I don't think the person notices me other then what we are."

"Well what is this person like."

"This person is incredible. Their smile. Their eyes. Just everything about this person makes me attracted to them. And no matter how many times I try to not fall for this person and move on no one compares to this person. I compare anyone that asks me out to this person and if they don't match I say no. This person is the only one worth my time."

"Wow that's deep."

"I just wish this person would open their eyes and see what I see you know."

"I'm sure they will Sammy."

Present.......

Who would have know that she was talking about me.

And it took me all these years to notice.

But I'm glad I did notice cause she is means the world to me.

We arrived at the house we were meeting the guy at.

(House in Media.)

We walked in and was taking back.

The house was beautiful.

"You Riah."

"Yes."

"I'm...."

"No need for a introduction. You got the money."

"Ha a girl that's about her business I like that." He said winking at me.

"Thanks so does my girlfriend." I said looking back at Samantha who was facetiming Chastity Melinda and my Mom.

"Wow didn't see that one coming but let's get to business." He snapped his fingers and 4 guys walked in with suitcases.

They opened em up and counted out the money.

I handed him the suitcases I had and he opened em and sniffed the powder then tasted it.

"It's good."

He gave the suitcases to his men and then handed me some keys.

"The house is yours for now enjoy yourself."

He left and I was surprised but happy.

"Riah this house is beautiful."

"It's ours now."

"Really."

"Yep so let's have some fun."

We went to the play room and played around in there.

After playing we ate showered ;) and chilled on the balcony.

Samantha was sitting on my lap staring at the stars.

"You know Riah I was thinking back to the first day we met."

"Really I been thinking bout that too. And if only I knew in the 10th grade I was the one you was talking about I would have cuffed you."

"I meant what I said. No one compares to you. And I know it's hard to maintain a relationship because of what you do but I'm glad you giving us a shot."

"Why wouldn't I you my best friend my heart my world my everything I Love You."

"I'm so grateful for you Moriah."

She turned around and kissed me.

This girl was truly a Blessing and without her there is no me.
