Too good to be True

Ebony POV

"Bye mom!"

"Alright Ebony" My mom said as I was walking out the door to get in the car with my sister.

"You ready girlie?" My sister Shayla said before I could get in the car good.

"Might as well be! I'm ready to get up out that house. I think momma started drinking and smoking heavy again." I told my sister as we were driving off remembering the days when my mom used to do it after my dad died.

2 years earlier

"Mom I'm home!!!!"

"In the kitchen," she said sounding like she's been drinking. I walked in the kitchen to find her sitting on the floor with my one month brother with a cigarette in her mouth.

"WTF YOU IN HERE SMOKING HOLDING MY BROTHER AND HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKNIG?"

"GIRL YOU BETTER STOP YELLING AND CUSSING AT ME! I AM YOUR MOTHER NOT ONE OF YOUR LIL FRIENDS!"

"GIVE ME MY BROTHER!"

"TAKE HIM. HE'S THE REASON YOUR FATHER LET ME IN THE FIRST PLACE."

I cringed at the memory. 5 minutes later. I got out the car and stood in front of the door waiting for her to open it. I went up the stairs to my room—well actually the guest room I turned into my room. I opened the door to the closet to search for my outfit I would wear tonight. I decided upon wearing my tight fitted Victoria Secret bra and panty set with fishnet stockings. It wasn't all that but it would do.

Shayla POV

Hey!!! I'm Shayla. Ebony's sister. I'm 23 years old. I am a light bright chick living independent. I don't depend on no man. Yes, I have one and I love him but I don't look at him for his money. I love my siblings to death. I was raped by my father when I was 19. My sister doesn't know and doesn't need to know. My mother kicked me out the house after she found out. But that was cool because I already had a house and car. I graduated college at the age of 21. I am currently a daycare teacher.

"Ebony I have to work tomorrow. You gone be good here by yourself until I get off?"

No answer. Maybe she in the shower. I'll just ask her in the car.

Ding Dong

I looked through the people to see Troy standing in the door.

"Hey pretty lady"

"Babe why you ringing the doorbell when you have a key." He started kissing on me. "Stopppp!" I accidently moaned in the kiss. "My sister is upstairs."

"She working tonight?"

"Yeah why?" I asked him curious as to why he asking.

"Because my home boy Kep wanted to know so he can go see her and get her to be his lady."

"Awww so he finally gone make my sister his. I hope he do cause she need a niggah in her life. The other one wasn't shit. I hope she say yes."

"You know Kep get whoever he want and he choose wisely. She must be worth a lot."

I hit him up aside his head. "Nigga look at who her sister is of course she worth it. She worth more than all the money in the world."

"You know he gone make her quit being a stripper for him right?"

"She has well over enough money to do whatever she want to do. That would be good anyway."

"Truuuuu. But I got to go handle some business baby. I just dropped by to say hey to my lil carmel drop."

"Boy bye. Take your corny ass away from here."

"Whatever baby. I'll hit you up later."

Ebony POV

I walked down the stairs to Shayla boyfriend leaving.

"Shay. I'm ready."

"Okay boo let me grab my purse."

*2 hours later*

I was sliding down the pole when I was called off stage to give a lap dance in a private room. I was a lil scared because that was my first time going to one to dance. When I entered my heart dropped. It was Doug.
