ready?”
“Yeah” I walked out of the door before him and he locked his house up. He opened his garage and I saw a white Benz and a black BMW. We got into the Benz and we were on our way back to my house. We hit the parkway and he decided to turn the radio on. Trey Songz was playing through the car and Killah was nodding his head and then decided to blast the song.
“I only came for the bitches and the dranks” Trey was singing and I started nodding to the music. I then decided to dance as the song was getting better. Killah looked at me and laughed. The song ended and he turned it down.
“Nice moves ma”
“Whatever” I said laughed. I looked at him and he looked back at me.
“What’s up ma? Is something on ya mind?”
“Yeah, I was wondering why you chose me out of every girl in the club”
“Because you are pretty and I wanted to meet you” He said matter of factly.
“Mmhmm”
“What? I’m dead ass”
“So you had no intentions of sleeping with me?”
“Nah, I really just wanted to get to know you and then decide if I wanted to give you my number or not” I laughed “I’m serious” We were now pulling up on my street and soon, we stopped in the front of my condo.
“Thank you very much Killah”
“Please call me Damion”
“Okay, Damion, good bye” I said leaving the car. He waited until I was in the house to pull off. I went upstairs to take another shower and to get out of his clothes. I had to work in a half our so I quickly threw some stuff into my bag and left. I got into my infinity and sped over to Paradise, the strip club I work at.
When I went to the back, of course these bitches hated me. It wasn’t enough that I was going to graduate from my night college courses to be a nurse but also, Every nigga out there wanted a lap dance from me and will tell these hoes to come get me and they do sometimes. I heard girls whispering and rolling they eyes at me but I ignored them and began to get dressed.
“Ayo Kat, lemme talk to you real quick” this tall ass girl named Amanda said to me. She walked towards me as I put baby oil on my skin.
“What?” I asked clearly annoyed.
“Don’t get slick, was you at the club with Killah?”
“Why?”
“Just answer the damn question”
“Fine, to answer your question, yes I was” She rolled her eyes and walked away from me. Soon, these bitches was flocking me, asking how he and all sorts of stuff. I just ignored their questions and went out to dance my heart out, just to get some more money to pay off the last of my student loans finally. When I stepped on the stage and was grinding all on the pole. Then I walked up further and began popping it when I stared in the eyes of the nigga that made me be like this…Hykeem.

Chapter 5

I quickly ran to the back to change and count the money I received. In this club, nobody is allowed to throw singles so you know I was always stacked.
“Kat!” Roscoe yelled walking towards me.
“Yeah?”
“Your requested in the VIP room.” I quickly put my stuff in my purse and put a lock on it then put it in the lockers that were provided by roscoe,, although we had to buy our own locks, I felt everything was safe.
I walked into the VIP room to see Hykeem and some of his boys there. I rolled my eyes and went on the mini stage and did my thing on the pole. When I was done, I was gonna leave until Hykeem asked for a lap dance. I rolled my eyes and gave him his lap dance.
“So this is what you doin for money now?” I ignored him and then he slapped my ass hard and I smacked him in his face.
“No touchin mufucka” I said and he clenched his jaw.
“I can touch my girl if I want to” I laughed in his face.
“I’m not ya girl” I said getting up and collecting my money. I went to the back and of course there were a few girls back there. I counted out 4 G’s and was smiling ear to ear. I put my money away and when I turned around, I saw Hykeem standing there. “You can’t be in here” I said walking back to my vanity mirror.
“I can be wherever I please Katia” I rolled my eyes and he looked at me in the mirror. “You look beautiful”
“Whatever Hykeem” I said getting up to find my last outfit of the day.
“I’m serious ma” He grabbed my waist and I pushed him off of me.
“Keep your hands off of me Hykeem!” I yelled.
“Bitch, who the fuck do you think you’re yelling at?”
“You mufucka” He slapped me and I fell to the ground.
“What was that now?” I punched him right in his balls and soon, we had a brawl. He had the upper hand but I was still kicking his ass.
“Get off of me” I yelled as he pinned my down.
“Nope, you wanna play right?” He said snatching my underwear off.
“GET OFF OF ME” I screamed louder and he bit his bottom lip as he pulled his 8 inch dick out of his pants.
“Come on, you know you want daddy’s dick”
“Stop Hykeem please” I yelled and soon, Roscoe came in and held a gun to Hakeem’s head.
“Get the fuck off of her mufucka” He yelled and Hykeem stood up. I curled into a fetal position and Roscoe threatened Hykeem.
“This aint over” Hykeem yelled and I got scared. At least he doesn’t know where I live. Roscoe and the girls tried to help me get together. I put my regular clothes on and cut roscoe off with his 5% and I left the club. I went home and on the doorstep was a vase with Rosses inside. I smiled and picked it up before going in the house and reading the card.
“To the most beautiful woman that caught my eye
-Damion”

I smiled and was gonna call him until I realized I didn’t have his number. Luckily, my cell rang and a number popped up.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Hey, did you get the roses? Damion asked.
“Of course, their beautiful, thank you, you just made my day a lot better” I said smelling the roses again.
“Awe, I’m happy…you want to talk to me about your day?”
“It’s a long story” I sighed.
“Well, how about you get changed and come outside and escort me to dinner”
“Your outside?” I asked looking through me window.
“Yeah” He waved and I chuckled.
“Well park and come in cause it’s gonna take a while” I said opening the door for him. We hung up and he made his way up the stairs. I hugged him as he entered the house.
“Wow, nice apartment”
“Thanks, let me hop in the shower, make yourself at home” I said going into the bathroom to shower. I took my time making sure I was fresh and clean and when I got out, I saw this dude listening to Ne-yo singing on the television. I shook my head and went into the bedroom to get dressed. I made sure I looked nice and came out to see him looking on myself at the pictures I had.
“You ready?” I asked him as he examined one of the photos.
“Yeah, but uhm, who’s that?” He asked pointing to my older sister.
“My older sister, she’s a model now”
“That’s where I recognize her from…she was in one of my music videos” He explained and I nodded my head. WE walked to his car and we were off to dinner.

Chapter 6

As the waitress sat us at the table, we looked over our menu’s.
“Everything sounds good, what you getting?” He asked me.
“Hmm, well as an appetizer I just want a salad, my meal, this lobster meal sounds good”
“It does” he agreed.
“Well I want to start with a salad” I said closing my menu. The waitress came back to the table.
“What would you like to drink?” she asked us.
“Give us a bottle of Merlot” Damion said and the waitress left. “So, tell me about your day” He said and I sighed.
“Well, how about I tell you my whole story? It all connects”
“Okay” He said sitting up straight.
“Well, when I was 16, I met this guy named Hykeem. He took my virginity and then we had this on again off again relationship. Since he was 20, he said we couldn’t be together or he’d get in trouble so we would just chill and have sex then won’t talk to each other again. When I turned 19, I was fresh to death when he decided to pop up. He asked me out and promised me the world. It was all fun and he was committed until a few months ago when he beat me almost to death. Luckily, I found a job and I get good money. I had to find an apartment and luckily, he sent my clothes to me. Today, I ran into him where I worked at and he-“
“Here’s your bottle” The waitress said sitting it into the ice. Damion thanked her and told me to go on.
“Well, he tried rapping me. He did beat me, that’s why I put make up on to cover the bruises on my face” I said pointing to the bruise on my cheek and on my forehead. “But ya know, you run into situations like that, but I keep my head up. I’m currently in school trying to be a certified nurse so I can get real money for something I love” I ate some of my salad that sat in front of me.
“Come here” He said leaning in. I did the same and he kissed my cheek and then my forehead. I looked down and he put my chin up with his hand. He kissed me on my lips and I felt shocks all over my body. That one minute felt like an hour to me. I leaned back and he smiled. “I’ve been waiting to do that for a while” Damion said with a cheesy smile. I laughed and we started talking about him.
“I lived in the hood as a child, struggling to take care of my family. My father was shot and my mom was taking care of us. She had three jobs and it wasn’t enough to get us the food we needed, so I decided to step up. I took a job to feed both me and my little sister and I had money to buy clothes. I aint gonna lie, I sold drugs and was on my way to be affiliated with a gang but luckily my sister talked me out of it. I of course knew I couldn’t do that shit knowing I’d be putting both her and moms in danger. I was caught with a possession of an unlicensed gun and drugs at the age of 16. Luckily, they only gave my 7 years and I got out with good behavior so I ended up doing 3. I went back to high school and got my diploma. I was gonna go back to the street life cause
