Month later.

Jamie managed to get the money up for her club to stay in business. Tonight was reopening night. Risha and Crystal decided to pop up.

10 pm

"Damn, I've never seen this many people since we left," Risha said, getting out of the car and closing her door.

"Girl, I'm just glad she's back open," Crystal said

Walking up Ashanti was by the door. "Hey, y'all. I'm glad to see y'all back, " she said, walking into the club with them.

"Back where?" Crystal said

"No boo. We just came to throw some ones on y'all. Ain't no coming back, " Risha said as they laughed.

They walked straight back to the dressing room, seeing Jamie talking with the girls.

"Now I know it's been rocky with me not being able to open back up. But here we are, ladies. Back to business. So it's a lot of new niggas out there take their bread. Make that money. And Last. Stay safe ladies. Something off walk away and come tell me." Jamie said seeing Crystal and Risha.

"OH, so you hoes back too?" A girl named Kim said

"Hell no. We came to support" Crystal said

"Good, cause we need all of it," another girl said

"And I'm going make sure not to come your way" Crystal said giving off a fake smile.

"Alright ladies. Let's go" Jamie said clapping her hands and seeing the girls get up going out the door

Angel was the last to get up "Hopefully we stay open" she said walking out with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Get yo ass out there" Jamie said smacking her in the back of the head "Smart ass" she said looking back at Risha. "Glad to see you both can make it"

"Know we gone support," Crystal said

"Well let's get to it," Risha said walking. out with two stacks of one's.

Walking out Raven saw what she used to do and was glad to be out of the club. It was fun while it lasted.  They walked over to the bar grabbing a shot. Once Risha took her shot she saw Keith over at one of the private sections with some of his bodyguards.

"I know the fuck that ain't Keith?" Risha said to Crystal pointing her finger over there.

Crystal nods her head "Yup. Let's go over there" She said getting up and seeing Owen too.

Risha walks up being stopped by the bodyguards. "Don't" she said moving his hand from her.

"Let her go" Keith said standing up and smoking his cigar.

"Funny to see you here," she said walking up to him.

"Ain't my thing. Just here to support my home boy on his birthday. Why are you here? Back working?" He asked

"Does it look like it? You trying to be funny?" She asked

He laughs "I was..

"Why the fuck are you here at my job?" Angel asked walking up.

"You don't need to be walking up on me asking any questions" He said looking over Risha at Angel.

Risha turns around looking at Angel. "So you know her?" Risha asked

"Know me? I'm his wife" Angel said

Risha looks at Angel and then back at Keith. "Ex-wife right?" She asked

"So this the hoe you fucking?" Angel asked.

"Bye Angel. And I mean Get the fuck on" Keith said nodding his head at his bodyguards to move her. Angel yanks from them walking away.

"What's sup Risha?" He asked

"Nothing. I'll leave you to it" Risha said about to walk away.

Keith grabs her arm making her stop. "Come talk to me," he said

"I'm not talking to you here"

"Alright then let's go" He said grabbing her hand.

"Bro you leaving?" His homeboy asked

"Nah I'll be outside" He said as they walked through the club. Angel was dancing on the guy but was more focused on Keith and Risha.

Risha and Keith hop in the black truck driving off. "So what do you want to talk about?" She asked

"I want you," he said. "I gave you your space like you asked. But I ain't waiting no more. I knew you would come to the club since it's back open." He said

"Want? As in a relationship? Or just fuck buddies?" She asked

"Both. Look I know how you coming. And I like that about you. Got a nigga eye open and I don't even do this shit"

"So question. Was your wife on a contract before you two were married?"

"Yeah, she was."

"So you knew your wife.

"Ex-wife" He interrupted

"Ex-wife would be there too," Risha said

"Yeah. But I don't give a fuck about her. I'm trying this shit with you. I want you for real. Just give me a chance" He said looking at her.

Risha didn't say anything just was thinking "How are you gone have any time for me?"

"I ain't gone fuck up this time know that. Plus if you ever feel like I'm away too long I'll have you  come to be with me" he said

Risha looks at him. "You owe me lunch still," she said smiling.

"Shit we can have dinner NOW in the backseat," He said climbing over to Risha and kissing her. "Ain't gone lie missed hearing your smart ass mouth," He said as Risha rubs his face.

"Welp, get used to it now," she said as they pulled back up to the club.

Keith gets out, walks around and opens the door for Risha. They walked back inside the club over to the VIP section, holding hands.

Risha waves her hands over to some of the ladies towards the VIP section. "Word?" Keith said, seeing them pull out a stack of ones from her purse.

"Got to support my ladies. Don't be stingy, " she said, smiling.

5 girls came over and got to twerking as Keith pulled out his stacks of ones throwing it on them with Risha.

"Bow bow bow bow," Risha sings as they play Sexy redd. "Get it sexy, get it sexy" Risha sings throwing hella ones.

Crystal comes over and join Risha in throwing ones. They partied the whole night.
