The Deal

Chapter 9

It had been over a month or so since I found out I was pregnant. Chuck decided to rent a condo in Miami to be closer to be and our unborn baby. I was happy He was sticking to his words but wasnt sure what to expect after having the baby. I decided to take a business course to keep my mind occupied. My plans were to obtain my business license and open a baby boutique. My future was looking bright.

I laid in bed when my phone rang it was Rod. I haven't hear from him in months and really didnt feel like talking but I still answered.
"Hello beautiful haven't hear or seen you in forever whats doing on?"
"I've been chilling lately" I replied not trying to have him in my business.
"I got a job for you the pay out going to be lovely"
"Rod Im not doing that anymore"
"Not doing what? What the fuck do you mean? I know you not gon let 12 grands just walk away"
12 grands was all I heard
"I needed that" I thought but damn I cant disrespect myself or my baby.
"Im pregnant so that wont be a option"
"Pregnant?  Wow you really been gone for awhile. Its not that type of job. I just need you to show up to a party look beautiful like always get the host in a room and make sure his pass out. Easy work" he replied causally.
I took a moment before answering.
"Come by my place tonight we discuss it more than I'll give you a answer" I said hanging up.

I got up and walk to the shower. Apart of me was dying to just say no but I also knew I was a soon to be mom and 12,000 would be a perfect investment into my boutique.  In the shower I finally convinced myself to take the job. I figured I'll show up handle up and leave before anyone notice I was even there.

Rod showed up later admiring my home as he walked in. I have recently moved into  a two bedroom condo preparing myself for the baby.
"I see you did well with your gift" he joked.
Referring to the 10,000 I  received from his client.
"No thats still in my savings" I shot back. Rod knew my money was long especially after all the job he hook me on. He laughed knowing I was being honest.

"Ok time to talk business "
After a hour or so we had finally discussed all the details. The party was two days away and I was ready to cash out.

Day Of The Party.

It was friday and I woke up nausea. I couldn't believe I was having morning sickness so early. I got out of bed rushing to the toilet  before throwing up.
After brushing my teeth I headed to the shower. Let the hot water run down my body. After 20 minutes I was out lotioning my body and getting dress for the day. I haven't spoke to Chuck in a day he was back in Chicago handling business. I didnt call or text I didnt want him to feel like Me and the baby was making things difficult. I knew eventually he would call. Heading downstairs I made myself breakfast watched the news. It was chilly today going back upstairs to throw on a jacket and grab my purse. Class was at 12 and after that I was heading to the mall for tonight. My mind wasn't  feeling class today it was stuck on handling this job and cashing out. I promise myself after tonight no more jobs no more Rod.

Class was dismissed and I hurried to the mall I didnt want to get caught up in traffic. While driving my phone rang it was Chuck.
"Hey baby I miss you I will be in town this afternoon see you tonight" he rushed into the phone without giving me a chance to respond. He hung up. I drop the phone. Unsure how to feel. Chuck was coming into town and I had work tonight. I decided to block his number just for tonight. Business always came before pleasure
"and besides I dont sweat him when he handling his "
I said out loud trying to convinced myself that I was doing the right thing.

It was after 9pm and I was driving towards Hollywood. I hated driving so far and was mad at Rod for even playing with me. I showed up to the party to see everyone had arrived even a few strippers I've work with before. Walking to the bar I spotted Rod He came over no small talking straight to business.
I found the host Mr Beek. He looked like he was in his 40s and not attractive at all. This was going to be harder than I thought. Being that I was pregnant alcohol and drugs was out of the question. I will just have to jump into character. Walking up to him I could see he was nervous. I gently planted a kiss on his lips he whimpered. I laughed "lets go somewhere more private" I whisper in his ear. He smiled and lead me down the hall. Once in the room I pour two glasses of wine. Slipping the drugs Rod gave me earlier into his glass. Walking back to the bed I offer him the glass. He grab it swallowing everything in one glup. I could sense he was still nervous taking a sip of my glass then placing it on the marble table. I began to give him a intimate lap dancing that he was truly enjoying. It was 10 minutes later when I heard snoring. My job was over I dial Rob number. He enter the room seconds later handing me a heavy envelope. Placing it under my arm I head to the exit. I wanted no knowledge in what was going to happen next.

I got home faster than I expected to see Chuck standing outside. My stomach knotted up. It was no explanation that was going to get me out of this mess. Then I remember my coat was in the backseat. I throw in on before sitting out of the car and walking towards him.
"I thought you gave that shit up.. Here I am trying make things work for us so we could be a family and you out showing your pussy to niggahs"
He was upset very upset. I knew I couldn't clam him down. So I walk pass making my way to the door. He followed grabbing my hand. I finally looked at him I could tell he was hurt.
"Lets go outside I will explain everything" I said softly.
He followed opening the door to my house he was shocked by the appearance looking at the surroundings he knew I wasn't just a average stripper.

I went upstairs took a quick shower so he wouldn't be waiting long. Throw on a robe and come downstairs. I open the fridge and offer him something to drink. Walking back with two can sodas I sat next to him opening the envelope letting him count the money. His eyes widen not because of the amount after all he was sitting on millions but because he wanted to know what I did to earn this in less than 2 hours. I got closer and explain detail by detail after talking he got up.
"You leaving" I asked
"Yea... I got a long day ahead I need rest"
I knew he was lying. Not pressuring him I said goodnight walked him to the door and went straight to bed.

Chuck

After leaving Kat place. My mind was going crazy I stopped by a bar to grab a drink. I knew I loved Kat she was carrying my baby  and I was ready to make things official but after the shit she pulled last night I didnt know if I could trust her. What she did was foul setting men up for a couple of stacks. Shit like that came with consequences and I didn't think she realizes.
After 2 drink I left I thought about going back to the hotel but Kat was the only thing on my mind. Pulling up to her complex I rang her doorbell it took awhile but she finally open the door. Without saying a word I grabbed her face and kiss her. I wasn't willing to let her go that easy.
