Alone together

Chapter 1

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
— Audrey Hepburn

Jankea pov : Some say being a single mom is hard . I won't say it's hard because I'm an Independent woman  who doesn't depends on a little boy like my ex . He wasn't man enough . I left him when my baby boy was Three months old . He didn't chase me . Since  I can remember I  have   strong women in my life . I can remember when I was younger my nana would always told me don't put a man first . You put yourself first not some type of man . Because I wasn't raise like that . I grow up with strong and uplifting women . When my nana  left this world  she told me I'm going make an empire . I just started my own empire . I own a candle business . My candles names are Booty call to Sex talk . Me and my assistant start walking to my innovation team office . Since I'm having a meeting with them about my new scent I have an idea of in stores . Just recently me and my son Cameron went to Morocco . I love the smell of Argan oil since I was younger . Today is the day I'm going tell them about doing the Argan oil . Something tells me people will love the scent . It has a unique smell but adding some other fragrance to help it be romantic like the rest of my collection . Did I always want to start my own candle business ? Well when  I was younger my uncle was a chemist he would make some small batches for me because I had eczema when I was younger  . He would teach me the family recipes for skin relics . I know if he's alive now he would be so proud of me .

When I walk in everyone is working hard and happy . That's one thing I love my company because they always happy and work hard . The name of my company is Litty Candles . Sounds kind of weird but I love it . I sat down and start setting up my laptop to show my team . While setting up I got a text from my best friend and Cameron godmother Gislene . Basically she told me she wants me go out with her and our other best friends Desire , Raquel and Stefan . I love my best friends but I don't want to go out . I'll text her after my meeting . Now it's time for the meeting . I showed them everything and they work on it . After the meeting I start walking back to my office . I open my office they all in the room . Gislene is my chair while the others sitting down on the couches . They all hugging me . Yup I haven't seen them a week . Gislene just slapped my ass .

" Ouch Heffa "

" That's what you get bitch we  haven't seen you over a week "

"Ok guys I'm sorry let me make it up to you tonight . I'm thinking making your favorite tonight "

" No tonight we going out and I call my mom to watch her grand babies "

I low key don't want to go but I should go out tonight . Yes guys I'll go . They all got happy . Let me describe them to you . Gislene is  Haitian and Cuban . She's a fashion model and singer . Also a carefree nature and down to earth personality    . Now there's Desire is mixed she didn't   embrace her black background until meeting me Gislene and Raquel in 6th grade . She's owns a yoga studio .  Then you have Raquel . Raquel is your typical fire cracker . She's has the dominican kick . She's owns a hair salon . She makes hair sexy and fierce . The only male of the group Stefan is a mama's boy but possesses self-confidence and a dry sense of humor. All of them have been  in my life since 6th grade and in college  . Guys before we leave I have to go home . Since it's after 5 and everyone left for to head  home and start their weekend . " Nah we got your outfit boo but you look good boo " Raquel said . Thanks hun . I'm wearing a white tank top with a lavender blazer with black leggings . I start turning off my lap top .

About an hour later we at Body and Soul . Body and soul is one of my favorite restaurants / club . It has two levels . Upper level is the club and bottom level is the restaurant . While looking at the drink menu . Me and my girls start gossiping . Stefan left us since he has to see his hoe ass girlfriend Monica . We all rolled our eyes . We all can't stand her . She's a gold digger . The waiter came and got us our drinks . We all doing shots . I was done taking my shot and sucking the lime I see a brown  skin buff nigga looking at me and licking his lips . Reminds me of my ex and baby daddy Zeke . Zeke and I was high school sweethearts . About five years ago I give birth to our son Cameron . I took the lime out of my mouth and put it in the shot glasses . I was ready to go upstairs to dance . I took a  look at my girls they having fun .  I told them I'm ready to go upstairs . We start walking upstairs while walking up there's a lot of people here . And the DJ playing good music . Like classic and today which is a good thing   . He start playing  Only right by Ty dolla sign . My girls know this my shit .  We got up and start  walking to the dance floor . I was twerking my ass off . Me and Desire start to chop it up . I look at Gislene and Raquel was chopping it up too . Then when bad bad and bougie . My ass start going in and I realized Desire wasn't near me . I look at Desire she was already twerking on a dark skin guy . He was smoking a cigar .  I felt hands on my waist I continued twerking on who ever is  . Who ever it is I just know I'm having fun at it . Right now I realized I need love before I was too scared now and someone used to tell me follow my heart and listen to it . Since then  I never felt I had true love .

Santos pov : Right now I grab a beautiful dark skin girl to dance . Mami knows she's bad and bougie . She has a body like Nicki Minaj but a tab bit thicker  . She can get it anytime and anywhere . I look at my boys they all getting twerking on too . Something tells me they are about to play Vivir Mi Vida . The DJ started playing it . The dominican in me turned her around we start dancing salsa . Her body match with the best . I'm shocked she know how to salsa . She has done an amazing job to it . I whisper in her ear . I ask her how she know to salsa . She responded well I took salsa classes in my senior of high school and I usually go to salsa classes . Wow this girl is very impress . I want to continue dancing with her . I ask her if she would love to join me get something drink and go back to dancing . She said sure . We start walking to the
bar . You could hear is it good to you in the background . She start singing it . Her voice so beautiful . We sat at the bar .

" Ms . Tell me your name "

" I'm Jankea "

" what a beautiful name for a beautiful women "

"  I' m Santos nice to meet you "

" It's a pleasure she said ".

The DJ started playing So mi like it by spice . She got out of the chair and grabbed my hand . We found a back into a secluded area and  she push me  softly into a seat. She seductively rub her  hands against my chest . And start laying on me and start dancing on me . I felt SJ waking up soon . SJ is my dick . Damn mami doesn't know she can get SJ all night long . Lately I have been thinking I  need to find someone who's ready to be my wife and mom to my daughter . All of the girls I have been dating they aren't the one . They just want two things money and the dick nothing else . Something tell me she isn't one of them . She's an independent woman who wants a man than a little boy . She got up from my lap and grab my hand . I'm guessing she wants to talk . Which I'm down for .

We start walking to a quiet spot . We went outside . And start talking .

" What do you do for a living Jankea said ? I own my own business something like  Tidal and Spotify . What about you ? " I own a high end candles business it's call Litty " she said . I have to admit I never heard of the brand since I don't candles personally . That seems pretty cool as a job . " It has it days but your job sounds fun as fuck " she said . It has their days but hey I won't change it for the world since I love music since I was born . She smiles at me . I look at the time the club was about to close soon . Her girls came and got her . " I'm sorry I have to head home and thank you for a great night " she said . Your so welcome can I have your number ? " Sure here  " she said . I  handed her my phone . She kissed on my check . She and her girls walk out . I told my boys I'm leaving and heading home .  When I got home I start thinking everything about her . I send her a text saying good night . I fell asleep with a smile on my face .
