Shy Henny

Hennessy vs Chai

Flashback

“Daddy leave mommy alone!”  I heard a thud and ran downstairs. Michael was on the floor crying. I went to his side to make sure he was ok. He gave me a weak yet reassuring smile. I picked him up and took him to the truck.

“I'll be back ok Mikey?” He nodded his head and hugged my neck very tightly.

“Jackson stop!” I ran inside to see my dad holding my mom up by her neck with a gun to her temple. I grabbed the lamp and threw it at his head. He fell to the ground and groaned in pain.

“Come on mama! Let's go!” she shook her head and kissed my forehead.

“You and your brother get out of here you hear me? I love you and don't you forget that. Get out of here and don't look back, “ I start crying and hugged her as tight as I could.  Through my crying I heard a gun cock. Next thing I knew I was on the ground and my mom's lifeless eyes were staring back at me.

“I'm sorry sweetie. I love you,” my dad said crying. He put the gun to his head and mouthed ‘I love you’ one more time.

“Dad no! Ple-” before I could finish he pulled the trigger. I started crying hysterically and after about ten minutes later I calmed down and walked away without looking back.

“Hennessy, you're up in five!” I sighed and put last minute touches on my hair and makeup.

I don't like doing this doing this every night but I do this for my little brother,  Michael. It's been tough these last few years ever since we lost our parents, so I had to find a job to keep food on the table and bills paid. With being a high school dropout this was kind of my last option. It is what it is though.

“Chai the crowd is hot tonight girl!” my best friend Misty said. She showed me all the money she had made tonight and my eyes instantly lit up. Money is the motive and at this rate I'll be able to make sure my brother will never has to struggle.

Misty laughed at how focused I was on the money. I shook my head and strapped my heels up. I'm about to blow them away tonight. Hennessy was here now and she was fired up. Who's Hennessy you ask? Well she appeared a week after my folks died.

Flashback

“You sure you want to do this kid?” he asked me with questioning eyes. I nodded my head. This was something I had to do, “Well alright. Be back here tonight at 11:00. You go on at 12:00 got it?” I smiled and went home.

~~~~~~

“Mikey, when you get done eating I need you to go on ahead and take your bath and get ready for bed,” he smacked his lips making me give him the eye like mom used to.

“Ok. Ok. Are you going to read to me tonight like you used to?” he said looking up at me with big eyes. I laughed and shook my head.

“Not tonight man, but Tony will be here so maybe he'll read to you,” he smiled and quickly finished his food and ran upstairs. I cleaned up the kitchen and headed to my room to practice my routine.

After two hours of practicing I was set. All I needed now was a name. Just as I was beginning to think of one, the doorbell rang. I opened the door to be greeted by the handsome face I love dearly.

“Hey Tony,” he smiled that gorgeous smile of his and engulfed me in his arms. He bent down and pecked my lips.

“Hey baby,” I rolled my eyes although I was still smiling, “Where are you going tonight anyway?” My smile instantly fell. I sighed and sat down explaining everything to him. Of course he blew a gasket but he understood.

“Be careful ok?” he kissed my forehead and went upstairs to tend to my brother.

~~~~~~

“You ready boo?” I gave a weak smile and hesitantly nodded, “What's your stage name by the way?” I looked in the mirror and thought. I heard a name being whispered in my head. I looked up at the girl and smirked,

“Hennessy,” I looked back in the mirror and at that moment I didn't see me, Chai, but I saw this girl with more sass, boldness, even prettier. I saw Hennessy. I put a smirk on my face and strutted to the stage.

Flashback over

Ever since that day Hennessy had been growing stronger and stronger and it's like Chai is almost non-existent.

I fluffed out my curls and strutted to the pole with my legendary smirk. The crowd was already hype and I haven’t even started. That fired up Hennessy. She was here and she was geared up .

The song blasted through the speakers and my body sashayed seductively to the beat. The crowd went crazy as I did my famous tricks on the pole. I was practically  drowning in all the money they were throwing.

My mysterious eyes skimmed everyone in the crowd. They were practically under my spell. That's when my eye's landed on him. He looked at me with his infamous smirk. On the inside Chai was screaming telling me to run. Hennessy slapped her making Chai disappear for the moment being.

“Fuck him girl. If he isn't the money he ain't shit. Now focus on the prize!” I gave him an evil smirk and finished up my dance. Afterwards I collected my money and exited off the stage, leaving the crowd in a daze.
