...the landlord posting my eviction notice.

"Ma'am you have failed to pay the rent for the last two months and now I am giving you thirty days to be off my property!"

"No! That is incorrect. I have my man paying you every month, on time at that!"

"Yes ma'am, he WAS paying on time every month...up until 2 months ago! Anyway, HIS name is not on this lease, YOURS is. So I suggest you come up with my two months rent, or the sheriff will be here in 30 days to see you out!"

I sat in awe as I watched my landlord walk away. I had just pointed my pearly .22 at my man's nether region. How was I supposed to ask him for the last 2 months rent? After much deliberation, I went back inside, picked up the phone and called...

The corner liquor store. Habib answered on the third ring.

"How much is the lottery jackpot, today?" I asked him.

"56,000,000.00." He said.

I grabbed the keys to my apartment and my purse and left out quickly.

I asked for 20 lottery tickets, all having different variations of me and my boo's birthday. When I pulled out my wallet to pay, I'll be dog-on if it wasn't empty. That meant either Shay-Shay or my man had robbed me.

Habib gave me the lottery tickets on my tab, but I was still upset. I sat down on the corner outside of the liquor store and cried.

What the heck else could go wrong. A car pulled up beside me.

I knew the passenger. The window came down, and I heard my acquaintance ask....

"Yo shorty, what's the matter?" It was Pedro. I met him about 6 months ago at a party. He was trying to kick it to me then, but I told him that I wasn't interested. He was cool about things though. For some reason, I just decided to tell him everything that just happened to me. "Dayum shorty, that's really messed up." Then he scribbled down his phone number and gave it to me. "Give me a holla this evening around 7:30. Maybe I can help you get out of your situation." I said to myself, how can he possibly help me out?? I guess I can give him a call - no harm, no foul.......

Later that evening, I decided to give Pedro a call. He answered on the second ring, " Is that you shorty?" I said "yeah, it's me." He said, "I think I know a way to help you out."..........

He told me that he was moving drugs down south and he needed someone to drive him to Texas once a month. He said he would pay me $5000 a month and I could start this weekend. Now I knew this was risky but I needed to cash. I was already thinking in my head what I could do with 5 big ones. I mean what did I expect ? The first time I met him he.......................................

was straight raggedy. I mean RAGGEDY. Same jeans everyday, torn shirt with the ketchup stains, and all that. Then one day he pops up in Versace and a Bentley. Always had a bankroll and didn't seem to have a problem affording the finer things in life. I'm saying if he went from Raggedy Andy to Donald Trump in less than a month, I couldn't expect him to offer me a job working 9-5, could I? Now that I think about it maybe .........

I need to get Pedro to hook me up with a fake ID, I thought to myself. How about a disguise? I mean, I don't know what to think! DAMN, I'm NERVOUS! I can't do this! I can't! I just KNOW that I will get caught! But, then again, it is FIVE G's!! Do you know what I can do with FIVE G's.... A MONTH!? In five months, I could make my whole year's salary! I would be a fool to turn him down.

I picked up the phone to dial Pedro back and let him know that I accept his offer. The line was ringing. I took in a deep breath just before someone answered. The person on the other end....

Miss. Mocha · #37 08-07-2002, 01:27 PM

was Pastor Sherman. What was he doing at Pedro's crib? Maybe it was fate.

He and the wife had missed me at church the past Sunday. As soon as I heard the Pastor's voice, I knew I couldn't get down with Pedro.

I apologized for my attendance, and hung up from the pastor. I needed to find a way out of the drama I was in.

I decided to go 'head and try to find my man. Even if he didn't pay the rent, I wanted to know if he was the one who robbed me.

I drove all around our neighborhood. I ended up back at his oldest baby momma's house. The one who was singing "My neck, my back."

I politely asked her if she had seen my man around. She replied...

librasoul22 · #38 08-07-2002, 01:34 PM

"WHOSE MAN?? I KNOW you aint coming up on MY porch askin bout MY man trying to say he's yours! ANYways, like I was sayin...MY BREAST..."

I had to leave. Can I get anythign to go right for me today?? ANYTHING? Just then I noticed my bra was bulging funny. Weird...this was not a bulge-enhancing bra. I felt it and found my money! Thank God!! I rushed home so I could...

Pay my rent. I get to the landlords apartment and his son answers the door.
He says, " Hey there sexy I heard my pops is about to evict you and your man played you. You having a real bad day. If you give me a little something something every once in while you can live here rent free." I say.........

Miss. Mocha · #40 08-07-2002, 02:22 PM

"Boy, you're 13, you haven't even gone through puberty yet. Go get your daddy, and get outta my face."

He gets his dad, I pay the rent and go back to my apartment. Why is my man chilling on the sofa when I come through the door?

"Why are you here?' I asked him.

He responded....

librasoul22 · #41 08-07-2002, 07:18 PM

"Baby girl, you know I just ran down the street to get some milk and Newports."

I

, but collapsed on the couch next to him.

"So tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," I say.

"Well," he began, "I guess I owe you that much. What had happened was...

RedefinedDiva · #42 08-08-2002, 01:14 AM

ALL stories that start with "what had happened was" is a load of crap, I thought to myself. I'll try to give this one a chance.

"What had happened was that I was a few months late on my child support. The court told me that they would start tapping into my paycheck if I didn't come up with the money. Since I had lied to judge about how much I made a week, I couldn't let them hit me up because I would have to pay more. That's why I didn't turn in your rent money. I had to give it to my baby's momma."

I looked at this clown and yelled, "I almost got EVICTED today! I had the note stuck to my door!Why didn't you tell me sooner?! My stuff was about to be kicked to the curb... just like you are about to be!"

As soon as the words had left my mouth....

CJUS · #43 08-08-2002, 11:16 AM

He stood up, and screamed Daaayuum, Baby, I din't want yous anyways. I was just up in heres getting the bess thangs out of life. I was taking yo money, driving yo car until it quit running, you turned around and bought me a car. I'm livin up in here rent free, no bills at all, eating yo food, and while you at work this is the hang out spot for me and my peeps. So, I will leave yo house, and besides I din't pay no back chil support, I took, your cousin Shay Shay shopping with you money. You think I care if you got evicted. I'll just move on to the next one. No problem.
Not believing what I heard I.......

Picked up the nearest object and hurled it at his sorry azz in a fit of rage. "You no good worthless piece of crap. Get the hell out of my house!!!!!!". Daaaayum! I can't believe I threw my crystal bowl at this worthless mofo. I had to work crazy hours to pay for this bowl that I got from Tiffany & Co. Chit, chit, chit!!! The crystal bowl grazed his head and smashed into pieces against the wall. He just grabbed his belongins, which wasn't much, thank God and turned to leave. As he got to the door, he turned around and said, "I ain't worried, Big Poppa always gots him a back up plan." After he left, I slammed the door. All I can do next was to sit down and bury my head in my face, cause now I'm beginning to get a massive headache. Just then the telephone rang. "Who the heck can be calling me now?" I looked on the caller ID and saw Pedro's number on it. I decided, what the heck and answered the phone. "Hello?".........

Miss. Mocha · #45 08-08-2002, 02:20 PM

"Girl, you know know I was just playing about the drug running thing. What I really do is run an escort service. Now, before you start to trip, it's on the up and up. You wouldn't hafta sleep wit' nobody or nothin'. You just need to be a pretty young thing on some old man's arm."

I just didn't give a care anymore.

"How much can I make?" I asked point blank.

"Up to 800.00 a night. You down?"

"Yeah." I said.

"Okay, meet your first customer at the Ritz Carlton, tonight at 9:30." Pedro told me.

"I thought you said it was on the up and up. Why are we meetin' at a hotel?" I asked suspiciously.

"For a fundraiser. Just be there." He said.

I got dolled up, and left my house at 8:45. There was an old guy in a tuxedo standing outside of the Ritz. I approached him, and asked if he knew Pedro.

He said...
