Hey Ms. Bella, when you gone let me fuuu? My voice faded but she knew what I was talking about even if she didn’t hear me. I’d been chasing her fine ass  since our freshman year. Although I was being sarcastic now she would be mine soon. Back in high school she probably looked at me as a loser but I just got on and money was rushing in like shoppers on black friday. I’ve always been a little on the heavier side but big dudes were in now. Bella walked from around the counter of her pawnshop to help an elderly black man with hair like Don King. She had a soft spot for old people and she let everyone know. I watched in awe as her smile illuminated the entire building. Her distinctive walk made her hips sway to the rhythm of ancestral drums as her booty jiggled. She wasn't very tall, maybe five foot three, but she still tried reaching the old fashioned gumball machine on the second shelf. As she stretched her curvaceous body as long as she could I imagined running my hands over it. She had put on some weight I noticed and it was in all the right places. I got so caught up in my thoughts that I missed the opportunity to help. By the time I snapped from my trance Bella had gotten a step ladder and retrieved the gumball machine. I don’t even know why she allowed people to pawn that kind of shit. No one was going to buy it if they didn't come back to pick it up and she should have known that. I’m sure that’s why they bring it here. I mean a gumball machine! What is that even worth?

Here you go Mr. Henderson, so happy you got the meds you needed Bella said to the old man as he paid her and she gave him a receipt. That’s why she allowed him to pawn a gumball machine because she wanted to help him. Bella means beautiful and she lived up to her name on the inside and the outside.

I browsed the jewelry section to see if there was anything worth buying but all she had was sterling silver and a few turquoise pieces. Definitely not my style. Now that I’m making that shmoney, I don’t even need to shop in a pawn shop. I just wanted to spend money with her and show her that I supported her. I’m still trying to figure out how she stays open. This place is more like a thrift shop than a pawn shop. I mean nothing valuable is in this bitch but her. The door dings as Mr. Henderson leaves and I finally have her all to myself. As I approached the counter my mind went blank as if I was deep in meditation.

What you trying to steal she broke the silence with mockery smirking at her own question.

Yo heart I smirked back. I bet she didn't expect that.

Still lame Her voice deepened. Her comment hurt my feelings but I couldn’t let her know. How long was she going to look at me like that little fat boy from around the corner? Like I said I was getting money now and I had started lifting weights. I gave a fake laugh but didn’t say anything more. Me and Bella had a connection. It wasn’t the connection that I wanted but we had known each other for thirteen years. She was always kind to me just never gave a nigga the time of day. I stared into her big round eyes. They were so familiar like they had not changed since the day I met her. Nothing on her face had. She still looked sixteen in the face and with her being so petite the effect was enhanced. Normally I wouldn’t go for a girl so small but there was something about Bella, there always had been. Her eyes slowly began to cross and she licked her tongue out at me. Fake laughter again but this time she joined in only hers was genuine. She was a goofball but money smart, street smart and book smart.

So Mr. Money bags lunch on you? she asked once she finished laughing.

I got you I actually had her everytime I came in. She would always get the same thing. A caesar salad with grilled chicken from the restaurant across the street. She believed in supporting black businesses and that is all they offered that she would eat. I heard her phone ring as the door chimed and I walked out. I couldn’t help but wonder if it was a nigga. All the men around here wanted her. She had been single for few years now and she only fucked with  two dudes that I knew of. This Jamaican big time dope dealer named Virgil. Everybody hated him! They messed around in high school and they were the favorite couple. He was a football and basketball star but tricked off all his scholarships to become a dope boy. He was our school’s golden child and the way people treated him turned him into an asshole. He wasn’t from our neighbor and didn’t give a fuck about the people that was there. He just happened to be heavily recruited and got a special transfer to go to our
