Black Doll (Under Construction)

Saturday Night Twist

Ryan Destiny as Dolia McCray

Dolia's p.o.v.

Today was the day to call him and respectfully decline the date Saturday night, but I was nervous for christ's sake he's Ronnie Kray, a crazed man who'll blindly seek vengeance and destruction if he doesn't get what he wants. No, I'm going to listen to what Sandra said and do what is best for me and me only.

The phone begins to ring as I breathe in and out to calm my heavy nerves that threaten my heart to burst out of my chest from a nervous breakdown. "Ello?" I listen to a voice that doesn't sound like Ronnie. "Ello, is Ronnie there?" Who this may I ask?" This is Dolia McCray I'm calling to tell Ronnie that I won't be able to go out with him on Saturday night tomorrow." The other line got quiet as I waited for a response. "Will it be alright if I tell him myself?" I asked. "That's alright I'll tell him when he gets off from work." I smiled proudly in triumph, I had faced my fears. "Okay, thank you." I hung up the phone and hugged myself, I won't be able to see Ronald Kray tomorrow night." I thought proudly to myself. 

The phone rings again, bringing me back from my joyous triumph. "Ello?". "Hi Doll"!! "Hi Dolia"! Cherysh greeted me in an upbeat manner as always and Francis sweetly but also cheerfully greets me also. "Hiya girls, what are guys up to today?" I asked them since it's the weekend, it would be great if we can go out shopping this Saturday. "Guess what Doll you won't believe who's coming back home?!" Cherysh excitingly begins to tell me the news, she is always the first person to gossip about what's going on in the East End neighborhood. "Reggie Kray is back home from prison." What! Reggie is out of prison already?

"Well that's good to hear about it I guess." It wasn't that I didn't care about Reggie I do in a respectful way but at the same time, I was kind of nonchalant about his release. "He came by to my house and he's taking me out tomorrow night at Esmeralda's and he also likes to invite you to the club to watch Cherysh perform her show, it would be fun, wouldn't it." Francis happily requested to come to Esmeralda's Saturday night it would be nice and fun to go to have a girl's night out but what about Ronnie? Will he be there, will he be mad at me for rejecting him?

So much is going through my head I accidentally blurted out my mouth. "Will Ron be there tomorrow?" Why Doll do you want to see your future husband?" Cherysh teased me on the other line. "Of course not! Why would I miss him out of all people anyways." Well from what I can recount what Reggie told me, he said Ron wouldn't make it tomorrow night due to some 'personal' reasons."

In my head I sighed in relief to hear that he won't be coming, maybe I have nothing to worry about, at least I can enjoy myself with the girls tomorrow evening for Reggie's coming home celebration. 

"Alright girls, I'll go to Esmeralda's but only because I'm supporting Cherysh to sing at the club, alright." I explained to them, but mostly Cherysh because she always drags me and Frances into things we are not comfortable with, but she's a party girl who will never miss a chance to go but for me and Francis we love her the way she is.

Saturday Evening
Author's p.o.v

This evening Dolia decided to wear a white sleeveless turtleneck sweater shirt, including a denim mini skirt to go with it, and some suede go-go boots that end to her knees. She adds a bit of light makeup to go with it.

The doorbell rings outside the house as she is finished with a little touch of eyeliner. As she gets to the door she is greeted by Cherysh, Frances and none other than Reggie as he stood behind them as three girls hug and greet one another, until Reggie chimed in. "Its lovely to meet you again, Dolia." As he kissed her hand in courtesy. "It's also nice to see you too, Reggie." She said politely. "Well, we should get going." France's replied. "We don't want to miss your big hit performance Cherysh, every singer and record producer will be there." I hope I don't mess up, I've been practicing my performance for a while."It was rare for Dolia to see her best friend nervous, she was always sure of herself and had a confident personality, but due to her nervousness, the music producers and company really take music seriously in the music industry.

"Hey, you never know what's going to happen love, to us your the best singer in all the whole East End has ever heard in any day." Dolia placed her hand reassuringly to her friend who felt more at ease with herself again.

"Thanks loves, it helped." Ladies I don't want to interrupt but we have a nightclub to attend too." Reggie called out to the ladies in the front of the car flicking his cigarette out on the sidewalk. The girls giggled at Reggie's charm and charismatic way of being a gentleman even though he was a criminal, at least that's what Dolia thinks.

The city of London was magical compared to the other cities in England, everyone partied, drink, and celebrated everywhere you go on a Saturday night, everyone had their own stories here in London's nightlife even the old-timers who came before the youngsters had many stories to tell here before the Krays came to power.

Esmeralda Barn dazzled with glitz and glam, money, and luxury all over the joint. Famous singers all over the world like Samie Davis Jr., Liz Taylor, Frank Sinatra, The Supremes, Dean Martin, and many more famous singers and actors/actresses came to Esmeralda Barn to meet and perform for the celebrity gangsters here in London.

"Alright ladies, here's your booth for tonight to watch the special performances of our beautiful songbird Ms. Cherysh tonight, and Mr. Kray will be here shortly to join you two, he had to take of some things shortly at this moment, I will be back with your menu Ms. Shea and Ms. McCray." The waiter explains as both girls thanked him.

"I hope Cherysh does good on her performance tonight, the record labels will really want her to produce her with her beautiful voice." Dolia tells Frances. "I hope so to she works real hard to accomplish her dream though." Sorry for the wait ladies me and Ron had to take care of some thinks, may we join in?" Reggie asked with Ronnie right beside him staring daggers at the girl who was suppose to go out with him and here she was sitting right next to Frances feeling small at the large man's present. Why the hell was Ron here, she looked at Frances for explanation but she gave me a worried look she didn't know he was going to be here tonight.

Dolia felt very stupid of herself, she knew she shouldn't have to come here knowing that Ronnie would be here at this very night, of course, he would be here it's his club besides Reggie's, she wanted to go home already feeling her hands shake in nervousness under the table, how would she be able to get out of this situation.

"Sure hon, here." France's gave me a glance saying 'good luck' before Reggie sits beside her. "May I sit beside you Dolia?" Ronnie asked as he stares at her questionable, Dolia nodded shyly while looking at the the broad man. He was clean, dressed up as always, in all Dolia's honesty Ron is definitely handsome and attractive in appearance, personality-wise well she wasn't certain about that.

Ron sits besides her while he kept his eyes on her."You rejected me from our date, now I see you are here with Frances." He whispers in her ears slowly, not in a threatening way but in a taunting way towards her, 'what was he getting at? Dolia thought and blushed. "Cherysh asked me to watch her music performance tonight, I couldn't miss her performance since she is my friend. She explained to the dangerous man, she refused to look at him in the eyes in defiant and nervousness while he is searching for the truth in her eyes, and he was right, there was truth in it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming on this eventful Saturday night performance of a special lady tonight, ladies and gentlemen let's give our hands up for Mrs. Cherysh Lamont." The crowd gives huge applause to the upcoming singer dressed in a sparkling gold dress pinned up with a beehive hairdo as she walked onto the stage, a replica of Liz Taylor.

"Err Dolia, would you like to dance with me?" Ron asked as he looked awkward in a way. He wants to dance with me I thought as I blushed really admirably but thought cautiously. "Well okay, Ron." I kindly took his large gruff hand with my soft small hands.
