DOMINIQUE

"So you're telling me he met your baby AND didn't freak out and run?! Why have you not married this guy yet?"Kaycee chuckled helping me put scented lotion on my back.

"Uh uh. No way Kaycee."

"What? Why not?"

"My life is just, well, a lot. I mean last night was just insane."

"Oh, you didn't tell him what happened, did you?"She wondered peeking around my back to see my face. I shook my head.

"All he knows is that the police were here.'

"Maybe that's for the best?"She suggested.

"Yeah, I just really like him and I don't want him to leave me."She rubbed my shoulder with a hopefully soft smile.

"China Doll, you're on in three!"The club's coordinator waved to me at the door. I took a deep breath and sprayed my whole body with perfume.

"Talk to ya later."I waved.

"Mhm!" Kaycee's brown eyes disappeared in her cheeky smile. I waved.

"!!"I gasped at the woman who appeared in front of me like a ghost.

Milani.

I gave her a look. She ignored it gracefully and admired her hot pink nails.

"I little dancer told me you've been getting involved with St.Christopher. Is that true?"

"I gave him a private lap dance. That's all."I lifted a groomed black brow. She grinned.

"Oh really? Cause I heard he bailed you outta jail last night."

"!" I tried not to show it but my face showed I was startled. Milani growled through her white teeth.

"Yeah, I suggest you don't lie to me. It will not work out well for you China Doll."

"You wanna talk about lies Milani?!"

"..." She waited for me to jump. I tried not to give her satisfaction.

"I know you were the one that framed that coke on me. What do you have to say for yourself?! I COULD'VE LOST MY DAUGHTER YOU BICTH!!"I screeched like a mad woman.

Milani just chuckled at my outburst, shaking her head.

"What proof do you have?"She said as if speaking to a child. She cocked her head with a face and crossed her arms.

"China! You're on now!"The coordinator insisted. I quite literally pushed past her.

"I don't have time for this, "I said under my breath, heading down the hallway as fast as I could.

"Stay away from St.Christopher China! He's taken."She exclaimed. I could practically see the pretty little grin on her face. I stopped in the middle of the hallway and turned my head around.

"By who? You? Ha! He's all fuckin yours Milani. Good luck."I waved her off and strutted down the hallway and onto the stage.

THE NEXT DAY,

"I told you, you can have them!"Conner chuckled playfully shoving his blue spiral notebook at me.
