Bubbles

Lisa “Bubbles”Brunson Hustlin’Babes CHAPTER ONE-It was the fall of 1990, and the multi-colored leaves were falling from the oak trees blown by the brisk wind. Pebbles, an attractive twenty-three-old year-old woman was starring out the window. She was bombarded with stacks of papers that needed to be filed for the mortgage company that had employed her for the past eighteen months, but instead of working she was daydreaming about an incident that occurred some eight years ago. Pebbles used to live in a two bedroom, low income urban apartment in Newark, New Jersey, with her mom Ella and dad Rufus. Pebbles and her mom were together in their burnt orange colored kitchen, decorated with yellow curtains and big brown wooden spoons hanging on the wall near the door. On the opposite wall in the corner was a washing machine, where Ella was throwing on a load of laundry while cooking the evening meal, something she regularly did, figuring she’d kill two birds with one stone. “Ma do you think Nana really watches us from heaven?” asked Pebbles. Her mom quickly responded, “Girl stop talking crazy. That’s just an old folk tale your grandma use to say to scare you”.

Pebbles continued, “I hope we’re not trying to wait for daddy to come home again tonight before we eat I’m starving.” Ella stuffed the paper in her pocket. “Girl, as a matter of fact, we’re not. Go on and take your bath. By the time you finish, you can eat because we’re not waiting for that man any more!” Pebbles leaves the kitchen and heads for the bathroom. Meanwhile, Ella takes the paper out, walks over to the telephone on the wall, and dials the number on the paper. “Hello.” said a female voice on the other end. “Hello, may I speak to Barbara?” “This is she” the voice replied. “Barbara, I just wanted to let you know that Rufus is married and has a fifteen year old daughter. So you can give your lipstick imprint and phone number to someone else, tramp!” Slamming down the phone, she ripped up the paper and throws it in the trash can. At three o’clock in the morning, Rufus is still not home yet and Ella has just awakened. She drags out ofTHESE ARE THE FIRST 2 PAGES OF HUSTLIN BABES now go to AMAZON.COM to buy the book.
