most ungrateful little shits...” and she caught herself. She wanted to give Rachel a piece of her mind. “Look at you. You think that Bahama man want you for your body and looks, or because you have such a lovely personality, why he...”
“Don’t you say it or you will be looking for a job tomorrow.” Rachel threatened. She knew it was an empty threat. There was no way she would consider getting rid of the only people who raised her and kept her on the straight and narrow since she was a child. But it sound good, at least to her.
“I’m not afraid of you, I put diapers on you when you were a baby. You better hope that somebody is around that cares enough about you because that fiancé of yours...”
“Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I know you have been promising to leave me Aunt Alice since I was a child. You had your chance now, let me get out of here, the limo is ready.” Rachel threw her purse over her shoulder and reached for the gold door handle and her aunt stopped her.
“Do you have everything? I packed you some of my tea cakes so you won’t go hungry.” “You’ve been doing that since I was a child. I’m grown now and there is food on the
Jet. People don’t bring food with them when they travel on jets. “I’ll be Ok.” She turned leaning in giving Aunt Alice a kiss on the forehead.
“Tell uncle bye.”
“I put them there anyway. In that expensive bag of yours. No one should pay over ten dollars for a purse. Whoever heard of spending thirty thousand on a purse? Why back in my day you could get a house for that much.” Rachel kissed Aunt Alice a second time and shook her head. “Don’t sleep with him until you’re married,” she shouted to Rachel as she climbed into the limo.
“I’m just going to the Bahamas for some sun and a rest. I’m too tired to do anything. And besides men and woman...” She didn’t dare tell her that she had plans to marry and she was going to Hawaii.
“You’re just a child. You just made twenty-one.”
“And you’re old. You need to rest and stop worrying about me. Tell Uncle Grant bye.” Aunt Alice glanced at all the bags that the driver had loaded in the trunk of the limo and it filled it where he could barely closed the trunk.
“That’s too many bags you’re carrying on that small plane,” she stood warning her.
“It’s a jet. It’s a jet,” Rachel said lowering the window and kissing her aunt’s cheek and holding her hand. She raised the tinted window and stared at her. She was missing her and she hadn’t left yet. Aunt Alice had always been there for her. Traveled with her on the road. Took care of her and disciplined her when she needed it.

“This is fucking unbelievable. My father has disinherited me,” Mason murmured as he threw his belongings into a soft canvas bag. He believed in traveling light since he lost his fortune. “They took away the cars, my clothes, then they had the nerves to confiscate my home. Leaving me with this fucking rundown apartment that I can’t pay the rent on,” he murmured tossing the rest of his belongings on the floor.
Mason stood watching all that he had left. “Nothing. I have nothing. Yesterday I had it all, a girl, money, and a mansion. Now look at me, I look like a beach bum. Well, now I am. Pretty soon I’ll be staying in a trailer park somewhere and it won’t be here because I can’t afford to stay in California. I hope that cheap old aristocratic bastard is happy. He never wanted me here in the first place.”
“What’s going on?” Chad said peeping out of his bedroom door. “I hear you talking to yourself like a mad hatter and I find you packing to go somewhere,” Chad said with a smirk crossing his face, the whole time glad to get the apartment to himself where he can have some privacy.
“If I were you, I would pack too. My apartment is being foreclosed on.” Mason threw his PlayStation into a canvas bag.
“What?” What the fuck happened to the rent I’ve been
