A Woman's Worth (Book #1)

Chapter 2: Hurt

Ahayah

"So you're telling me, Patience was in the club grinding up on some nappy head floozie and you took her back?" Kellita asked as she sipped her wine. I rolled my eyes and got prepared to speak again when I noticed the girl Jamaica standing at the entrance of the restaurant with the girl Patience was dancing with at the club on her arm.

I rolled my eyes and focused my gaze back on Kellita who shook her head. "Listen you can't judge me. When, Megan went through that boy phase and cheated on you with Patience's brother you never left. You stayed by her side. So let me do this." I whispered to her. She smirked at me and called the waiter for another drink.

"I'm sorry best friend. You know I hate it when you be down and all that. You need to come by the spa and let me work my magic on you." She laughed. Yes Kellita is an amazing masseuse. She owns half the spa resort on the other side of town. She's so successful, especially at the age of 23. I guess we worked just that hard for our success..

"I gotcha. One weekend ima spend the whole day getting my relax on." I told her taking a sip from the champagne I ordered. We talked for about 30 more minutes then we decided to go home. Feeling a lil tipsy I got in my car and drove home. Ignoring every call and text I got from Patience. I ain't need the headache not tonight, I'm feeling too good!

"Goodmorning Goodmorning!" I said as most of my students came in through the door with their parents. The parents greeted me and signed their children in and the children went to the dressing rooms to put their belongings away. My God daughter and Kellita walked through the door shortly after everyone else.

"Heeey G'Mama!" Kalia squealed wrapping her arms around my waist. I picked her up kissing her forehead and chubby cheeks. "Okay I gotta go to work now. Ill be back on break love you lots." Kellita said hugging me and kissing Kalia. "Okay big girl go ahead and find Ania so she can help you get ready." I told Kalia putting her down as Jamaica and Arora walked in and up to me.

"Hey remember us?" Jamaica asked with that gorgeous smile. I smiled back and nodded walking them to my office. I felt her eyes glued to my back but didn't make any gestures that I knew. "Okay now Arora, how old are you?" I asked starting up the whole registration. "Oh I forgot to mention, Arora doesn't speak to anyone except me and sometimes her mom. I think it's a phase. Doctors say it's probably because of what happened to her dad and my mom." Jamaica whispered to me. I nodded my head and just got the information from her.

After about 20 minutes of registration and stuff we got Arora a dance outfit from the storage room and walked her out to where everyone else was stretching. "Ima stick around cause ion think she gonna let me leave until she comfortable around everyone." I nodded and she found a chair and sat down in the corner.

"Okay children settle down! Settle down! My name is Ms. Hughes. The dance instructor some of you may know that others may not. Umm this right here is Alisha and her right there is Brianna. These are my helpers who will be here almost every day. They attend my other dance classes. Maybe you guys can attend those when y'all get old enough. Okay soo with that being said let's warm up. Just follow our lead." I instructed looking around at all the little girls.

I turned on some warm up music and stood in front of the mirror with Lisha and Bri at my sides. "To the right!"I called stretching down to the right touching the floor. Some little girls couldn't do it all the way so I told my helpers to walk around and help. 10 seconds later I called the left and we switched and stretched the other way.

From the corner of my eye I saw Jamaica staring at me. I shook my head and stretched down to the middle. Now she really was watching. Ion know what she looking for. I would never step out on Patience. Thats my heart and I love her dearly. "Okay everybody get down into butterfly position and stretch out fully I'll be right back." I called as I made my way to where Patience had just walked through the door.
