"What the fuck Cydney?! Are you serious?" I yelled into the phone. My babysitter Cydney called from out of town to tell me she was never coming back. What kind of shit is that? It's been rough without her and now I have to keep this shit up. I still have no one to keep Micah so he's been coming to the club with me the last week. Apparently now this is going to be a regular thing. I never wanted this life for my baby but we gotta make it however we can. I just hopped Tone would allow it.

I still had some time before my set so I left Micah with Scarlett and shot over to Tone's office. "Knock knock" I said while knocking. "Come in" I heard Tone bark and I pushed the heavy door open. Tone sat behind his desk with his feet up, smoking a cigar. At least it looked like one, the smell of the smoke told me he had re-rolled it to hold weed instead. I caught a contact almost immediately.

"Uh hey Tone, can I ask you something?" I said tryna be super nice.

"Sup" he simply said blowin a huge cloud in my face making me cough. "Good shit huh?" He chuckled.

"Uh yea sure....but umm..well, my babysitter is staying out of town for good umm" I shook my head again "I was hoping, maybe you wouldn't mind me bringing Micah a lil more often...just until I find a new sitter"

Tone took another long pull off the cigar blunt and swung his big feet off the desk. I had a feeling that wasn't a good sign.

"So you wanna bring lil man every night for a while basically" I had to restrain myself from rolling my eyes. That was obviously what I had just asked him.

"Yes, I would really appreciate it" I fidgeted under his gaze as I noticed him starting to look me over.

"Hm, I do like lil dude. He a smart lil nigga yo. Seem like he got heart eyes for Scarlett's lil one huh" he chuckled almost sounding. As if he cared about our kids.

"Thank you" I half smiled, happy that someone already could see the potential my baby had, but turned off that he was only three and already considered a nigga.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt if he was here, I havnt had no problems outta him so far, he ain't affected my pockets yet...Yea why not?" My eyes got big as the fuck.

"Omg really? Thank you tone I won't let him bother you at all" I said and turned to leave.

"Woah woah where you goin Bamb?" I heard him stand up and I froze. I knew it was too good to be true. I still hadn't turned around but I could hear his big footsteps coming toward me. I shut my eyes tight and whispered "fuck" to myself. I could feel the hairs on my neck stand on end as Tone's lips brushed softly against my shoulder.

"I can let him stay no problem" he sniffed up my neck into my hair "but what's in it for me?" he whispered into my ear. A chill shot down my spine and I stepped forward and turned to face him.

"Tone please, don't make me do this, I'll do anything else. I can work days, I'll waitress on weekends, I'll clean up after, I'll manage the girls, I'll me pay you, I'll give you a cut from my set, anything just please, don't make me do...that"

Tone was known for sleeping with the strippers here in exchange for things. I always thought it was for the good spots in the show or special privileges amongst the girls, but now I see its for anything he could use to break you.

"We have people to do all those jobs already. Look I'm not forcing you to do nothing" he held his hands up like an innocent man "but Imma need something. This ain't no daycare, and appreciation ain't what I'm in the mood for" by this time he had his hands all over my body, I felt so dirty and low, but what other choice did I have?
