My name is Devin Johnson. I am a melanated man of the tender age of 34. Thus to say I'm a black man in a strange land with somewhat of a plan if ya understand. Anyway, I haven't always had the best of luck in life but here recently I came across a very unexpected opportunity that turned everything around in instances so to speak.
As for background, I come from a single parent home for the most part. I stand about 6'1 weighing at approximately 185 lbs. I work out daily and I'm a pretty solid creature as a result internally and externally of self. From the age of 16 I always kept a job to help my mother and myself. Aside from school I also ran the streets in my youth. No glory there but hey we learn n we live...at least I have.
So here I am in Downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee on what i had then presumed to be a typical day putting my life on a better track after some wins and seemingly more losses. I had come across this even younger white dude that liked to metaphorically hang onto my coat tail. He came from a nice home with both parents and a financially stable environment based on what he always told me.
Only thing was he had no morals. His name is Mark Rampart. He's 29 and eager to be recognised at all costs. I met him working in the local Volkswagen plant. I suppose he saw me as an easy way to get street credibility because I saved his ass a couple times when his lack of wisdom or his daddy's wallet couldn't acquit him from his folly.
Nevertheless, I ended up taking a buyout from Volkswagen for a lump sum. I figured it best all things considered and I was planning my next move in a better direction. Thus, after my daily early morning workouts I was venturing out to scope out worthy job prospects to accompany different passive income ventures online. Mike was still working at Volkswagen (when he felt like it). His parents wealth kept him in limbo in regard to responsibility or general manhood for that matter. I suppose I kept him around because I knew he needed lookin after..kinda like a lost pet so to speak. At any rate, he wanted to tag along every chance he got.
"I've got a line on some prime milf ass if you're down dude." exclaimed Mark while strolling downtown.
"Do I look like I want some pussy right now?? Im thinking business homeboy."
"Well that's just it ya see..she's tapped in to businesses all over the city and even has companies in other areas of Tennessee."
I just looked at him.
"Yeah right and how the fuck you meet her?"
He grinned like a cheshire cat.
"She's a friend of my mom but I made her a bitch of mine."
We sat and had lunch at Lupi's Pizzeria.
"Yeah I suppose your winning personality does have an appeal." I said chuckling as i scarfed down a slice of sausage pizza.
"Dude, no shit tho...I can have her down here to pick us up by the time we finish eating. I've got her on my stick hard Dev".
I rolled my eyes at his antics while wiping my mouth.
"What?, you taking pussy at gunpoint now?? I ain't savin you behind no more of your dumb shit boy." I stated flatly while holding my index finger up to emphasize my point.
"Chill brutha, Im good out here!!" raising his arms up like a certified cornball.
I simply shook my head while draining my Dr. Pepper through a straw.
I suppose he thought it better to try impressing me. It was a regular occurrence when Mark was around.
"Alright bet dude, Imma call her now and she'll be outside in a limo by the time we get outside waiting on us."
Looking down at my phone I just shrugged. I aint got time for nobody's bullshit today.
Mark phoned his "rich bitch" per say.
"Hey lady, what are you up to??"
I grabbed another slice of pizza, internally chuckling at Mark's inability to be himself. Looking back I'm not sure he ever knew how.
"Just chillin with my boy Dev. We need a ride asap. How quick can you get that pretty ass down here and scoop us up?"
I heard low bickering from the other end of the phone as I ate my pizza and shook my head.
"Ahh come on now, you know you wanna see me..more importantly you need to. We're at Lupi's. Text me when you're outside...or else!"
