Gangster's Gem: The Devious Dance

22

Diamond's Perspective :

"It's been monthsss since we opened yo store and it's still packed, what I tell you?!" I slightly yelled, hyping Janelle up as we walked through her store, 'tempting lace'

"My ass should've listened sooner" Janelle laughed while women roamed around, picking up outfits, trying them on and buying them

Janelle's stripper clothes had become so successful, she had to lease out a warehouse in order to make room for more inventory

"Oh my goddd, Janelle! I love tempting lace so bad!" A customer yelled as she recognised who Janelle was

"I'm glad you do, boo!" Janelle smiled as she gave her a hug

"Diamond, I gotta thank you for putting me on, for real. You the realest bitch ever. If you never encouraged me to do this shit I would've still been making them stripper outfits in that dressing room at eclipse" Janelle ranted as she hugged me tightly

"Girl it's nothin, all I did is rent this place out to you!" I hugged her back

"You and I both know it was more than that" she playfully rolled her eyes

"Diamond!" I heard someone call my name, causing me to turn around curiously

It was Sasha, holding some shopping bags, smiling at me

"Hey girl!" I smiled back

"Hey boo! I been lookin for you." She nervously smiled

"Wassup sis?"

"Me and the other girls, we kinda stuck, ya feel me? We all quit when money man fired you, and now we ain't got no place to dance. We need somethin. Can you help us out?" Sasha responds, fidgeting with her bags

"Shit, I ain't know it was like that. Y'all ain't found nothin?" I asked after raising my eyebrows

"Nah girl, we been searchin' but it's dry out here. You know we had your back when you walked out. We just need a lil hand to get back on our feet" she answered, her shoulders dropping

"Aight I got y'all. You know Mack right?"

"Yeah, I know Mack. He got strip clubs don't he?" She nodded

"Exactly. I'll hit him up and make sure he find spots for all y'all. Ain't nobody getting left out" I smiled

"That's love, Diamond. You the realest. We appreciate it" she let out a sigh of relief, her shoulders visibly relaxing

"It's cool. I'll talk to Mack ASAP. He owe me a favour anyway, so y'all gonna be good" I assured her while taking my phone out of my purse and sending Mack some messages with their info

"You mean as fuck but nice as hell when you wanna be, you know that?" Janelle smirked after Sasha walked off

"They quit basically because of me, it's foul I ain't even reach out sooner, I been busy as hell, it ain't even cross my mind" I shrugged my shoulders

"I mean y'all quit too but you got this store and you the most financially responsible outta me and Layla so I know you was gon be good" I added

"I swear we done made at LEAST a million between the three of us just two years at that club" Janelle laughed

"And that's not even including social media, hostings , brand deals" I agreed

"And you forgettin the money we get from da rich NIGGASSSSS" Janelle raised her voice, making me bust out laughing

I guess I didn't really think too much about the other girls who quit cause I just assumed they'd be financially secure like Layla, Janelle and I.
