Roccels POV

******Saturday******
      I woke up to get my kids up. "Wake up yall" i said gently shaking Jayla and Jaylen . They started stirring in their sleep then let there eyes adjust to the light. "Mommy?" Said Jayden. "Yes Jaylen?" "Can we go to chuck E cheese?" "Yaaaay chuck E cheese"yelled Jayla while jumping around
      I looked at my watch, it was now 11:22. "Okay we can go but mommy has to work later so you guys are going to mrs. Janets house tonight". The kids nod and give me there overnight bag. I get the kids in the tub while I go and pack there bag. For Jayla I pack a pink dress and white Michael kore sandals for church with Mrs.Janet, her Mya and Miguel pajama set and true religion jeans a plain black shirt  and her bred 11s just in case she gets tired of wearing the dress all day. After Jaylas bag I packed Jaylen bag. I packed his white dress pants a polo button up shirt with a pink bow tie with black dress shoes. He got his Phineas and ferb pajamas set. I also pack true religion jeans, plain white shirt with his legend blues.
      I grabbed the kids out the bath, lotioned them put on there under clothes then got them dresses. I put Jaylen in dark green shaded camouflage joggers with a black shirt with black Air Force 1s and Jayla in some light pink camouflage joggers with a white shirt with white Air Force 1s. I went into the kitchen and gave them each a half of a sandwich with some chips and a capri sun. I turned the tv on to Bubble Guppies. While they ate I group texted my girls Tanisha and Natalie and Laylony

I put my phone down and turn the tv off. The kids gave me the 'really nigga' look and I just giggle. "All your God brothers and sisters are on their way to Chuck E Cheese so hurry and clean up and watch tv up stairs so mommy can shower" they hurried and put their paper plates, napkins, juice boxes and chip rappers in the trash, put hand sanitizer on then ran to their room. I shook my head then made my way into my room to find an outfit. I put on red shaded camouflage joggers with a Bulls crop top and red Air Force 1s. I put the clothes on my bed then hopped in the shower for 25 minutes, got out and checked on the kids, put lotion on and got dressed. She un-wrapped her already straighten hair then brushed it out and add some winged eyeliner, mascara,light and dark brown and light red eyeshadow with red lipstick. "Jayla! Jaylen! turn the tv off, grab your overnight bag and come here" 2 minutes later they ran into the room with their bags. "Come on lemme do yalls hair" I grab the coconut oil and shine and put it in both their hairs then I put a part in the middle of the Jaylas hair then put them in two ponytails then braided them. I looked at my watch and it was 1:52 so I texted everyone in the group chat.

***Text Mode Over***
      I went and strapped up my kids in my 2016 four door Escalade put their bags in the truck and walked to the driver side and got in. I put my purse on the floor on the passenger side, started to car, and plugged my phone into the aux cord and searched for a song "What y'all wanna listen to?" I ask. They thought for a moment then Jayla yelled "Jumpman! Oh wait no Where Ya At!" " Noo Blow A Bag!" Chimed in Jaylen " Okay okay chill. Jayla!" I yelled making her jump up"sit back before we don't go to Chuck E Cheese" she sat back quickly and looked down and began to cry. I sighed and got both of there Ipads out and gave it to them. I put on DS2 album on and hit the road.
------30 minutes later------
I pull up and hop put the car and unbuckle the kids then put there iPads in my purse and walked into the Chuck E Cheese I seen Natalie and her kids eating pizza and Laylony and Carmen playing a racing game I went over to Natalie and sat down and gave the kids a slice of pizza. "You gotta work today?" Asked Natalie.
See i met Natalie from working at the strip club, I knew Tanisha from school but grew closer because shes the bartender at the club and Laylony was my bestie since diapers. Natalie and her baby daddy aren't together but he wants to get back together, Tanisha and her baby daddy aren't together but he wants to get back together, Laylony and her baby daddy together. All their baby daddys are friends and are in the game but plans on dropping out because they all have kids. Laylony don't gotta work because her man supplies her with everything. Must be nice. 
"Rocky!" Natalie said snapping me out my thoughts. "Huh? Oh yeah yeah I work" "you should let the twins come over all the kids gonna come over" "okay you just take them I got their bags in the trunk" "ight ima go take the boys to play" i nodded and waited for the kids to finish eating. "Y'all ready?" "Yeaaah!" They said flying out their seats. "Okay let's go to the basketball with everyone else." I said. On the way to basketball Tanisha and Luna walk in and come over to basketball with us. The kids played around then we went to play bowling. You know how you have that feeling someone is watching you well I had that feeling and i saw four guys looking my way. I shook it off and let the kids continue playing but I did keep an eye on my kids and an eye on those guys.
------4 hours later------
      We finally ran out of tokens and put all the tickets together. We had 1092 tickets all together so we brought each kid two bags of cotton candy, stickers, and those little toys. We all went to our cars and drove to McDonalds.
All the kids went to the jungle gym at McDonalds with Natalie, Laylony, and Tanisha while I ordered the food "Welcome to McDonalds how may I help you today beautiful?" The cashier said while licking his lips "Can I have six happy meals and four of those are chicken nuggets and the other two are hamburgers. For the drinks they will all be high-c's. I want a forty piece chicken nuggets with four medium fries and two medium Sprites and two medium Coca Colas." "Will that be all" i nod my head "okay that will be $67.33." I pull out my  platinum card and gave it to the guy. "Heres your receipt your food will be ready in 10 minutes" i nodded and walked into the jungle gym
     "Aye Rocky" said Laylony "Yo?" "Have you heard from your sister?" "She been DMing me and likes my pictures on Instagram but that's about it" I said "you should talk to her" Tanisha added while tying Lunas shoe. I just shrugged my shoulders and pulled out my phone and played Crossy Road. "Forreal Roccel you should talk to her its been what 4 years since you seen or spoke to her" Natalie said "ORDER 109!ORDER 1.0.9!" The guy yelled.  I shot up and went to get the food before the convention could continue. I know when they call me Roccel and not Rocky it's serious or they're mad. I grabbed the food trays but still had two more food tray and three drink trays. The four guys from Chuck E Cheese came over "lemme help you with thats ma" said the brownskin with the cury taper fade. The other three nodded and grab the trays "uhh okay follow me I guess. Oh and um thanks" I said. I started walking when I heard someone say damn under their breath. Not wanting to turn around my cheeks instantly got hot. Im so glad im not light enough to turn red. We reached the tables and put all the food and drinks on the table before I could thank them Jayla and Jayden ran up to me "mommy Jaylen pushed me" " but she threw my race car all the way up there and I can't reach" he said pointing to the top of the shoe rack. Just by the looks of it I knew I wouldn't reach it. "Oh i gottchu lil man" said the darkskin with the curly fade. He went and got the toy and gave it to Jaylen  "Thanks bruh I thought my race car would be stuck forever" Jaylen said exaggerating the word forever. Jaylen  dapped the dude up which made all the adults chuckle.
"Oh im Brandon" he began "thats Dayln right there" he said pointing to the guy who asked to help with my tray "and thats Shawn and Jamall" he pointed to two lightskins with curly hair, they looked alike like they are brothers. They give me a head nod then walk back to their table. I was going to ask why they are here but it's a public place so what ever.
******2 hours later******
"Rocky!" Yelled my boss 'Big Daddy Day' i roll my eyes and walked to his office to see Kayla on her knees giving head to him. She looked up, smirked
at me then received a smack across her face that made me flinch " Hoe did I say stop!" Yelled Day. Kayla shook her head and tried to give him head again but this time got kicked in her face. "Hop off my dick hoe go strip or something just know I want $7,000 from what you make instead of $3,500. Your dismissed" Day said as Kayla ran out his office. "Can't find good help these days" Day said shaking his head and chuckled. See Day is a cool guy he's cute too but he acts different when around his boys or other strippers. I giggled and played with my finger. I felt Day looking at me so i took the chance to say something "So uh why am I here?" He looked at me for a moment then spoke "why are you here? Your shy and I can tell your nervous on stage and around big crowds. You don't hoe around like half these girls or are ratchet and ghetto like the other half." I sighed " I got pregnant at 15 and had twin babies. My boyfriend didn't claim them and he kicked me out. When I went home my mom kicked me out. I moved with my friends family and they took me in until I got back on my feet but this job made it quicker to do so." He nodded his head "So no dad, siblings or family?" I nodded my head "yes. Both me and my twin sister moved with our boyfriends at the same time. Our boyfriends were best friend. The night was our anniversary but I became pregnant and she didn't. Instead of taking me in she took me back to my momma and left. My daddy on the other hand is a dead beat." He stared at me and told me to come here. I walked over and he pulled me into his lap. "You're a special lady" he began letting his New Orleans accent ring through my ears " ima treat you right. I want you to get a good job. Until then I'll give you money and anything else you need and want. Tomorrow night will you let me take you AND your kids out?" I nodded "dress you and your kids nice and I'll come get you at 6:00pm" he kissed my cheek them patted my butt signaling me to get up. I walk into the locker room receiving a punch in my face.
