"It went well. I think things are going to get pretty serious."
"Ohh I see you Staci." We both laughed.
"So what about you? Do you have a Valentine?"
"No, but before you all came in I was going to call this guy I met today at the mall."

"Oh, okay. Go ahead."
"With you here?"
"Yup, unless there's a reason I shouldn't hear the conversation."
Instead of responding, I just picked up the phone and dialed the number.

"Hello?" The voice said over the phone.
"Hey its Cherish, the girl from your store. You gave me your number on my receipt."
"Oh hey, oh man I didn't think you would even call me."

"Nothing much I was just trying to see if I could get to know you."
"Yeah I'd like that."
"Maybe we could get together and talk."
"Do you work tomorrow?"
"Yeah but my lunch break starts at one, its a hour."
"Well I can come by then."

I hung up the phone and Stacie was all in my face smiling.
"So?"
"I'm going to meet him tomorrow at the mall."

She squealed and clapped happily. "Awww, you have a boyfriend!"
"Staci, I don't even know his full name."

"Well you will know it tomorrow. Well sweetie I need to run, I have some work to do at my office."
"Okay Staci bye."
Staci gave me a hug and left. I decided to go find my dad to see what he was up to. I figured if he wanted to know so much in my life then I should find out some things myself. I walked down the steps to my dad's office and knocked.
"Uh huh." He said like he was busy with something.
"Hey."
"Oh hey baby girl. What's up?"
"I umm...I just want to talk."
"Bout' what?"
"Ourselves, I think we just need to get to know each other."

He turned away from the computer he was typing on and looked at me. He pointed to an empty chair. "Have a seat."
I did as instructed. "So..."
"Where do you want to start?"

"Well before I ask can you promise to just tell me the truth?"
"Yeah I can do that."
"How did you do all this?"
"All what?"
"This big ol' house, butlers, maid, cars, cash. Where did it come from?"

He sighed, slouched down a little, and ran his hand over his face. "How did I know you were gonna ask that?" He took a deep breath. "I went to prison for several different reasons, two of the main ones being pimping and running a drug ring. Before I got arrested, I set up several accounts in different names just to be safe in case I got arrested. When I got out of prison, I cleared out half of those accounts so that I could buy this house, get a few commodities, and show the state that I could take care of you financially."

"So the money used to buy everything is...illegal?"
"In some form or fashion."
"Oh." I really didn't have much more to say.
"Well since I got that off my chest tell me about yourself."

"There isn't much to tell. I'm Cherish and I like food."
"That's nice. You have a boyfriend, Cherish? Have you ever... you know?"
"Woah, we're not there yet."
"Wrong answer. Who was he, and how old were you?"

I sighed. "His name was Tyrone. He was a boy in one of my foster homes."
"Ages?"
"Me, fourteen, him, seventeen."
"Oh, God."

"Yep...so now you know. Just try not to look at me any differently."
"Oh trust me I'm not because at that age I was far worse. So what goals do you have?"
"I thought it was my turn for questions."
"Oh sorry."
"It's okay. Well I want to graduate next year and go to college. Where I'm not sure yet but, I just want to be successful."

"Good to hear."
"Yeah, so what happened with you and my mom?"
"I told you I was a pimp, right?"

"So she was a-"
"Yes and no."
"Explain."
"Well I knew her through some friends and she got involved with me. After getting to know her a little more I saw she wasn't really cut for that type of work. She ended up being my main chick. She helped me keep things in order and well after a couple years we had you."

"Then..."
"One of her girls got caught and told on your mom, even though she was out of the game, then your mom told on me so she wouldn't get in too much trouble. I wrote you two a lot before you went into the system, but she sent all of my letters back. I guess she thought I was mad at her."
