Chapter 2

Carter in the multimedia
Carmesha POV (Still Saturday)

I walked with my friend as we walked in the mall eating ice cream. She was a stripper making a grip of money....but that was something I could never do.

"Girl, I just don't know why you wont be a stripper? You barley making enough money, you are on section 8. Come on now it won't be that bad." My friend Gina spoke with a mouth full of strawberry and vanilla swirl.

"No it just wont be right...stripping for money? I never thought of that."

"Mesha you have a child." She said. I closed my eyes for a moment, then opened them. Carter is the most important thing. I want him to have a good life, but be a stripper?

"Gina do you have another career I can do....other than stripping?" I asked, as she shook her head chuckling.

"No Mesha you dropped out remember? Look, that's the only way yo ass gon take care of yo son and then some so might as well." She said wiping ice cream of the side of her mouth. I didn't have an appetite so I threw mine away and so did she. "Look, Mesha I'm not telling you how to run yo life cause you grown. I'm tryna help you cause you got a child....he don't need to see his ma suffering."

That kinda made me wonder, I did wanna give Carter the world. If this is the way he is gonna get it til' I find a new plan then so be it. It's only temporary right?

"Only til' I get another plan right?" I ask her.

"Shit the choice is yours." Gina said walking out of the mall.

"Alright we will ride by there after 7. Guhhh you lucky its Saturday." I tell her as she waved me off.

"Girl you lucky I'm nice." She laughed...thinking what she said was funny I guess?

"You know its 6:06 right? We should probably head over there." I said as she nodded. We looked around the parking wondering where I parked my car as we found it and got in. "Alright...tell me about this strip club and where is it at?"

"It is alright just follow the rules and you will be fine. Also you will be interviewed so I hope you wore good panties and bra. Oh, and it is on Farris and Vapor rd." Gina said scrolling through her phone.

"Wait I have to strip?" I asked almost turning the car around.

"Guhhh what you think this is? I hope you remember you going to a STRIP CLUB."

"Yeah you right I'm tripping" I said shaking my head driving with my right hand and leaning my head on my left.

We arrived at the strip club, she got out and I got out slowly did. I wasn't scared, but I was hella nervous. Like what if I wasn't good enough for them....then what? Then I would do this for nothing. I would be wasting time.

I eventually I got out of the car. I walked into the building. ..this time it was girls getting ready, so it wasn't really girls around or guys in general.

"Girl around like 9 or 10 its gonna be packed with niggas." She said walking me to the back. We walked to this room with two doors, it was also a security guard.

"Candy why you back here.....and who is your friend?" The buff dude asked her.

"Jerome shut the hell up. You aint running this damn shit now move!" She scoffed as he laughed in her face.

"Cant wait til' boss let me blow yo face off." Jerome said in a unsure jokingly tone. Like you knew he was joking but at the same time you didn't. He said something in the door then he moved aside letting us in. He pushed Gina a little then smirked as she almost fell.

He already had girls in their which made me unsure about the job. He looked at Gina waiting for her to speak or something.

"Get these hoochie mamas outta her then...ima talk." Gina said, making me wondering if she ran this place. The way she bossed people around she could have fooled me.

He made them get up as I seen the girls walk out and close the door behind them.

"Alright Candy what the hell you want?....Who the hell is this?" The brown-skin man with a fade and sliver teeth looking like he was in his mid-twenties. He was fine as hell...no wonder he was boss

"Fist of all, don't talk to me like one of them hoes on your dick. I am your damn cousin now treat me with respect...I help around this bitch anyway." She said saying the last part under her breath. She smiled again. "Alright Damian....this is Carmesha she wants to work here, you know my bestfriend."

"You have no friends." Damian said trying to play it off like he was coughing. "Alright....CARMESHA strip for me."

I was a little nervous about this part but doing so. I took off my black jean pants. Ending up in my red lingerie I took of my black bad boy t-shirt, now in my red bra lingerie. I spun around so he could see my body, he nodded and I stopped.

"Alright I'ma give you the paperwork later you can you have the job....you got a nice ass body." He said as I put on my things.

"I have to only work on weekends though I have my son on weekdays." I tell him as he nods.

"First words you said....but sure." Damian told me as Gina grabbed my hand walking me out the room thanking him again as he laughed.

Its on now.

Friday morning

I had got Carter all ready to go with his dad so I can get ready to work at my job. It was my second time in front of people, but hopefully I can do the tricks Gina helped me learn on her pole at her house. She had got her vibrating pole from Spencers. It was pink and so cool.

There was a knock at my door for the person I was looking for.....Kendrick.

"Daddy." Carter said slowly walking up to him, he was feeling a little sick so I gave him some baby cough syrup. He didn't like it so I almost killed his ass making him swallow the shit.

Then, he threw up on my hardwood floor. As Kendrick backed up and grabbed Carter.

"Nigga he is your son, why the hell you jump like that?" I asked him with my voice going higher than usual.

"Bruhh I just got these new ass Nikes, I love my son but I don't want my kicks smelling like baby puke." He said making me laugh. "Well I came by yo' job they said you don't work there no mo'...so where you working now?"

"Kendrick.....quit with all the questions....alright?" I ask him taking the mop out the closet as Kendrick closed the front door walking around the baby puke.

"What is wrong wit' me askin' questions? I wanna see if my son mama doing straight." He said with his Louisiana accent showing.

"You should be asking Mary these damn questions!" I snapped as he put his hands up in surrender.

"Aye chill, chill and...uhh me and Mary don't go togetha' no mo'." He said looking at Carter.

"Well all I have to say is life moves on....If fate brings y'all back together you are one lucky person." I said as he nodded. I went into the kitchen letting the water run and put sop in the bucket waiting til' it reached the middle.

"Yeah you right..." He stated slowly. I walked over to the puke with the mop and bucket. I grunted a little as I set the bucket down. "Aye you aight?"

I was about to say some but the door rung. I opened it.

KJ

"Hey baby- ew what the hell is that?!"

"Who the hell is this?" Kendrick asked as I looked around. Carter laying on the couch sick and now these two.
