Gutta Baby

Chapter Twenty-One : Out The Mud

"24 Hours.
Nigga,
7 days a week.
Me,
I don't get tired.
I let you other niggas sleep.
Turn up for that check,
And yeah I get it out the streets.
Hustle like I'm starving going hard,
I gotta eat.
I get it out the mud,
Yeah yeah.
I get it out the mud,
Yeah yeah yeah.
Watch how I break my wrist.
Make that water whip.
Stretch it out,
Then flip.
I'm all about my chips."

When we walked off the plane, I could smell the salt in the air. I missed this shit.

"What now?" Ice asked.

"We gotta put your baby in daycare so we can get some shit handled." I said

"But I ain't never had nobody besides my sister watch him." She said looking worried.

"Trust me." I assured her.

We took an uber to the daycare our siblings used to go to and spoke with the lady at the desk.

"Can you watch our baby for five hours? We will pay you cash." I said getting straight to the point.

"We don't usually do that. There's an application process and a registration day." The woman said.

"Two hundred dollars cash. One hundred now and the rest when we come back in the morning." I said seriously.

"Okay. Fine. Just five hours. If you're not back exactly at six sharp, I'm calling the police and saying you abandoned this baby." She said causing me to roll my eyes.

"His name is Amias. Be good boy for mommy." Ice said kissing his cheeks.

This was going to take some getting used to.

We walked out to another uber, which was taking us to XXX, the strip club we wanted to work at.

We went straight to the manager's office and knocked on the door.

"Yes." A deep voice answered

We all walked in and sat in the available seats.

"We want to dance tonight." I said.

"Do you even have experience? How old are you?" He questioned

"I been dancing for a long ass time to be honest. We both have and we're eighteen." I lied.

"Whatever. Come back in an hour ready or did you bring stuff?" He asked noticing our bags.

"We'll be in the changing room." I laughed.

"Oh so you just knew I'd say yes." He laughed

"Nah, butI was hoping you would." I said winking.

We went into the changing room where Silver did our makeup and hair.

"Damn. She hooked yall up. I want next." A stripper said coming over to us.

"It's fifty for face, fifty for hair." Silver said.

Next thing we knew she had a whole line waiting for her.

Ice and I left her to her business and went to the bar to get a tray to pass out drinks or see who wanted a private dance until it was our turn to go up.

I danced to six songs on six different dudes before the dj called me on.

"SHE PUTS THE BOYS ON ROCK, ROCK. INTRODUCING THE LOVELY. THE BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND."

Say she in King of Diamonds Monday
Ain't scared to get that money
In back in church by Sunday
But we all know she's in love with that pole, pole, pole
She's in love with that pole, pole, pole
Ugh, say she in school Tuesday through Friday
Friday night that's my day
But Saturday through Sunday, she 'bout money
She ain't scared of that pole, pole, pole
She ain't scared of that pole, pole, pole
