Toni pov

Working security at The Wyrm wasn't enough for me; the real money came from dealing. I made good cash on the side, enough to throw around and still be able to pay my bills.

I kept going to the club once every week just so I could see Cheryl. Every time, it was the same routine. I'd sit front and center, make it rain to get her attention and then pay the manger a hefty sum for a private room with Cheryl.

We'd talk more than anything else, and I'd leave, always giving her a wad of cash. She fascinated me, and those moments alone with her were worth every dollar.

But it wasn't just about the private rooms. Ever since the second night I came to the club, I'd been watching her as she walked home. I know it's weird and creepy but the first time it was an accident; I just happened to see her heading to her apartment building.

But it's dark, and anything could happen to a woman walking alone at night. So I kept my distance, making sure she got home safe every night.

One night, I was near her complex, meeting up with one of my clients who lived near by, when I saw her walking towards her building.

Thats when I saw some random ugly ass nigga talking to her and by the way her body language I knew she felt uncomfortable. She even looked scared.

Toni - Aye bro. here

I quickly give him his stuff and he give me my money before leaving. I then ran over to Cheryl, slipping into the role of a protective boyfriend without missing a beat.

Toni - Hey, babe

I put my around around her shoulder and pulled her closer to me

This ugly ass dude sneered

Ugly ass - Oh, that's all you? Well, how bout you tell her to cover up some more because she looks like a fucking hooker

Shit the only thing I saw was red. Before this nigga could even react, I sent a punch straight to his jaw, knocking him right on his ass. He tried to get up and fight back, but I didn't let him. I kept going until he was out cold, my knuckles bleeding from the impact.

Toni - Bitch ass nigga

I then turned to Cheryl, who was visibly shaken

Toni - You okay

My voice was much softer now

Cheryl - Thank you

She then looked at my hand

Cheryl - Your knuckles.....Come inside. Let me help you

I followed her into her apartment, the adrenaline still pumping through my veins. She led to the bathroom, where she gently cleaned and bandaged my knuckles. Her touch was careful, and for a moment, I forgot about everything else.

Cheryl - Why were you in the neighborhood

Her eyes searching mine

I couldn't tell her the truth

Toni - Just passing by

That lie was smooth

Toni - Wanted to make sure you got home safe

She didn't looked entirely convinced but didn't press further. Before I left, I tried giving her some money as usual, but this time, she declined.

Cheryl - You've done enough

Her eyes were soft

Toni - Please

Cheryl - No Toni

I didn't care what she said I left the cash on her table before heading outside. As I walked away, I couldn't shake the feeling of her eyes on me.

I finally headed home. The night had taken an unexpected turn, but I couldn't stop thinking about Cheryl. She was more than just a dancer to me now.

As I lay in bed, I knew I'd keep going back.
