It's been about a week since Monique has been working at The Dungeon. She told Kyree about her being a bartender there, but not a stripper. He didn't really say anything about it. All he did was brushed it off.

The first night of her of being a bartender, she made five hundred dollars in tips, and when she stripped, she made over 300K. Monique was so excited about making all of that money. It was like a dream come true with her.

She tried to reach out to August once more, but it failed. She decided that she was going to give him his space and all the time he needed because she figured that the more he talks to her, the more angrier he gets.

She hasn't talked to her family in about the same exact time frame of talking to August. She misses her family, and she wants to make amends, but she knows that things are going to be tough and hard because of the mistakes she made in the past.

Monique lives in regret each and every day. She thinks about it over and over. Kyree always told her to leave it alone and move on, but she can't move on because what she did was heartbreaking. It broke up her relationship with August, her daughter, and her family. Her family, plus August and his family went through hell and back 10 years ago to try to save Monique from danger, and the shit Monique did in return is unforgettable.

Monique was in the kitchen together talking about booking a flight to New Orleans so Monique could see her daughter, and her family. She wasn't going to let anyone know because she wanted it to be a surprise.

She looked at the next available flights that were available, and she realized she can book a flight on the 24th through the 28th. 

"4 days is all I need." Monique said.

A Week Later

Mariah

"So Mariah, who's this mystery man that's been having all of your attention lately?" Monasia asked me. 

"You'll meet him soon.  Right now, we're just getting to know each other." I stated.

"I didn't know getting to know each other would cause hickeys on your neck miss ma'am." She shot back while taking her wine and a glass into the living room.

For the past 3 weeks, I've been seeing this guy name Jerome Alexander.  He's tall, dark skinned, sexy, and just overall an amazing guy to be around.  He has a daughter name Tatianna, and she's so sweet and nice.
