Robyn Rihanna Fenty never dreamed of the day she'd end a life, let alone her own fiancé's, Chris. Battling through an abusive relationship for more than 7 years was tough at a high extent. Now, moving location, changing her identity and traits Robyn...
So they were finally official. Sean and Amani were finally dating, after all this time Sean didn't want to waste no more time. He told me he wanted to make her his before she slipped out of his reach again.
I figured Amani didn't tell me yesterday because she'd forgotten, or simply because she wanted to hear me out first before she updated me on what I'd missed.
The girl had left to do some grocery shopping. She wanted to prepare a meal for all of us, she clearly had adapted to her lifestyle as a maid, because Sean told me she never wanted them ordering take away.
"How long have you known Ami?" He asked as we sat in the lounge room. I was sat a couch away from him as I smiled.
"Not too long but it's been about three months." He nodded and I fired back the same question moments after.
"I've known her for three years now." He replied as a small smile tugged at his lips, he looked proud.
I didn't blame him, If I was him I'd proud to have Amani in my life for that long. That girl radiated nothing but positivity and she had the biggest heart. Always caring about others first before herself.
"Well, just know if you break her heart I'm coming after you." I said playfully.
His smile faded and he now had a serious look on his face.
"Hurt Amani? No way, I could never forgive myself if I did some shit like that." He replied.
Our eyes interlocked as he spoke. He was so sincere, so much passion and he really meant what he said. It was from the heart. He really was in love.
Glad to know real niggas still existed.
"Can I be nosy?" I questioned as I looked at him, bringing a foot up on the couch as I wrapped my arms around it.
He simply nodded, urging for me to go on.
"How'd you...you know, get her away from the whole stripping scene." I remembered Rakim mentioning that she used to be about that life.
He remained silent a bit, he really wasn't expecting the question but that didn't stop him from answering. "I was a bartender there. We started off as friends. Hanging out every night after our shifts, I took her out. Dinners, shopping, dates all that shit. I began to know her better and I found myself falling for her each day I spent with her. I noticed his features bright and full of life as he talked about his girl.
"Wow.." I replied. Completely in awe at how he expressed his interest in her. "But didn't you feel some type of way when she you know.. went back to the club and did her thang."
"I fucking hated every second of it. But I cared about her, and at the time that was her only source of income. It took everything I had in me to swallow my jealousy and come to terms that at the end of the day, she was just dancing and not actually interacting with those men like she was with me." He said.
Where were men like Sean?
No regular man never would go through all that for a girl.
I began to feel glad. Sure I was going through my own shit but I was happy for my best friend.
To know that someone besides myself appreciated her and made her happy was the best feeling in the world.

An hour later we were all eating at the table.
I looked between Amani and Sean. They were having they're own conversation that I couldn't relate to, so I instantly felt as though I was just sort of..there. Interrupting they're intimacy.
I had to go out tonight to avoid just being a bystander, I didn't want to annoy them.
"Amz.." I said lowly, getting her attention as she instantly looked at me with a wide smile.
"Yes babes?"
"I'm going out tonight, just letting you know." I said as I watched her reaction change. She looked unsure of my decision but she still slightly nodded.
"Alone?... Where to Rih." She simply said, worry evident in her tone.
"Our usual club. Yeah I'm going alone, I just need to get my mind off things, meet new people..I'll be fine don't worry you won't even notice I'm gone." I tried assuring her I'd be fine.
"I don't know about this Rih.." she said as she looked into my eyes, begging me not to go.
"I'll be fine Amani, seriously." I laughed as I stood up and cleared my plate.
I was going and that was final, nothing she could say or do would make me change my mind.
After freshening up I was dressed up, beat and ready to bounce.
Moments later after driving to the club I was now too familiar with I waited in line patiently. Smiling at the club bouncer who'd greated me the last time I'd made an appearance here.

All black from head to toe, my outfit was simple but it still made me content. I hated over doing it.
"Ah, Rih right?" The guard questioned and I nodded as he stepped to the side and let me in.
I entered the club, allowing whatever happened tonight to happen. I didn't care anymore.
