*Imani P.o.v

The date was fun I learned a lot about kent and he learned a lot about me. He makes me feel special and for once I didn't have to worry about my looks. He made me felt 100% beautiful. He honestly is the best

*2 weeks later*

After coming home from work I looked around and didn't see Armani anywhere. I heard a echo cry coming from the bathroom. She was laying on the floor crying.

"Armani what's wrong ?" I asked sadly.

"Grandma died ... they came and took her away since we didn't have the money to bury her. there going to burn her" she cried. I was so torn by her words. The only remaining guardian we had left and now she's gone.

"it's okay armani, everything is going to be okay" i comforted her. i begin to shed a few tears as well because my grandmother took us in and we couldn't even make enough to save her life. So now that she is gone, it's going to our struggle more worse.

"what are we going to do?" she asked. "don't you even worry about it, your big sis is going to find the money to keep us rolling okay?" i said. " how imani? that book store job ain't doing crap." she complained. "ill find something else, i'll work two jobs if i have too" i said. she didn't say nothing else as she cried on my shoulders.

"at the end of the day, we have each other, and mom would want us to stick together through this" i told her. she nodded and sniffled.

Later on that evening Armani decided that she was gonna go stay at one of her friend's house because she didn't wanna sleep in the house, and I on the other hand had a date with kent. i really didn't feel like going now that i received the bad news about my grandmother, but i needed someone to vent to as well.

I haven't classified him as my boyfriend and he hasn't classified me as his girlfriend yet. so were still figuring it out. I put on a sweater, some high wasted denem jeans, and my brown snow boots because the weather was cold outside. I put my hair all up in a sleek high pony tail that stopped to my butt basically, and my gold hoops. I grabbed my cellphone and purse and was out the door. I hopped on the subway and it took me down town to my destination.

Kent was sitting right on his Ferrari with music blasting,smoking something.

"Hey " I walked up to him .

"Wassup" he nodded

We hugged then went inside

"How you and your sis doing ?" he asked me

"horrible. Today i came home from my job and found my sister drenched in her tears. Our grandmother died" i told him. "if things weren't stressful before when i was making money to pay for her surgeries and put food on the table, then there most definitely are now. Our grandmother was our only income because she received a health check, but...now that she's gone and has no insurance there not going to give us any."

He grabbed my hand. "You know I can help you" he said "You can't make $600 appear over night " I doubted him."No...but you can" he said

"What do you mean kent?" I looked at him

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Imani I didn't wanna tell you this when I first met you but I own a strip club. I know your shy but tonight's Amateur night and I guarantee if you just get up there and try you'll have a lot of money " he explained

"stripping....me?? kent that's way too far beyond me. Im only 17 i can't do that" i told him.

"No...don't doubt your self. I just at least want you to give it a shot, if you don't like it then i'll help you find something else, but at least if you go up there tonight, you'll have some type of income for you and your sister " he told me
