By Shadae Washington Published 4 years ago 5 min read

cant believe I'm getting married today!! I never thought this day would come. Looking in the mirror trying not to cry I just got my makeup done. I will be marrying my man very soon but I cant shake this feeling inside. My mother says I'm just nervous but I know I'm still in love with my ex.

CHAPTER 1

Me and my girls are out like we do every Friday night. You know when everyone needs to let go after a week of working. My best friend Renee bringing all the attention over here from the bar. Renee was the life of the party anywhere we go she always wearing sexy small dresses and high heels. She has caramel skin and I call her a skinny mini since she's so small but knows how to work what she has. Getting men at the bar to buy us drinks as always. " Drinks for the ladies ". The server brings us a tray of drinks. " That man over there says its on him. We wave and grin for the drinks. Me Renee and my girl Destiny are drinking eating and enjoying the music. " Thanks Renee girrrrl always making it happen" Destiny says dancing and feeling her Drinks. Destiny is a pretty dark chocolate brown a little darker than me. And is what I call slim thick. Skinny in the waist thick everywhere else. She comes out with us every Friday but has a man at home. I don't think he likes it much buShe just loves free drinks. " Yall want to act all shy better let these men know what yall want out here demand yall shit". Renee says. She's not lying though im a little laid back i like men to come to me and im really not a fan of all the attention. I'm Ashton by the way let me introduce me. Dark chocolate 30 years old im what they call THICK alot of hips butt boobs and all. I use to be small all my life then started eating good but still manage a solid shape. " You like everybody eyeing you im not a fan ". Me looking at Renee rolling my eyes. " You act like u got a man at home lol girl Destiny get more attention than you're ass lol". Renee laughs. "Its true I broke up with my ex 2 years ago and haven't been successful in dating since. I just go out every Friday sometimes all weekend but turn away every guy.  Or I ghost them where I talk and go on dates then dissappear after a while. I just don't think I want a man in my space I was with my ex for 5 years and im getting my freedom back.

Destiny says" yes I can't be out with yall hoes much anymore Rome hates when im out with yall so I gotta cut back". " Ita cool more drinks for us lol right Ash girl ". Yes byeee go be with ya man lol ". Yall some hating hoes I sware I can't wait til yall booed up so we can do triple dates. Destiny says...

I sell clothes and accessories im my boutique called House of Ash. It's been doing pretty well and I'm proud of myself. It's not for the weak though as you can see I'm late to open up my shop. I rush down to the shop and open up. Not even 2 minutes some one rushes in. I though you would never open lol. I'm still tired and hungover from last night but I look up and it's a good looking dark-skinned tall man talking. "Welcome to the house of Ash sorry I did open late. Is there anything I can help you with"? Yes im looking for something for a female friend. Me in my head saying of course he is he looks too good to be single butI'm going to see what female he's buying for. "Looking for something nice for your girlfriend early huh"?.
