Diamonds and Love

Chapter Six

"Yeah, girl he was talking outta pocket. Vise oh you dont gotta work, you can take the day off and shit, you know I can take care of you. Has me baffled cause last time I checked he dont make enough money to support me, him and any other women he has." The pretty face dark skin, Nikelie said rolling her eyes as she took a long slurp on her triple chocolate caramel shake as she leaned over the check out counter of H&M. 

"Men delusional as fuck, I swear they think their pockets deeper than they actually are," Tawanza chimmed as she folded and unfolded different camisoles on the display table; occasionally holding them up to her body as she imagined how they would look on.

"But maybe he likes you? Like actually likes you, as in ready to take care of you. Don't you think you should still give him a chance to like prove himself?" Daejanae asked as she stood there body propped up on one of the display table to the left of Tawanza; taking a swig of her Fiji water as she pressed her glasses back up her nose.

"And what if he just running games? Like all men?" Alexandria asked in rebuttal to Daejanae.

"I think its up to her, whatever or however she feels, is really all that matters. Like if she done, she done; if she wants to try again, she can try again... if she wants to say fuck men they aint shit she can. At the end of the day she needs to decide what makes her happy. Yuh know what I mean?" Shanice said as she shifted her cross bag around her body, putting an white cropped button up top back on the rack.

"I aint even know... he just... ugh... girl. I cant be bothered anymore in all honesty I just want to find this dress for that stupid thing and hide away like a hermit. I seriously cant." Nikelie said with a distraught filled sigh as she multitasked between sipping and folding as she now stood at a display of disheveled tops in a pile no thanks to Tawanza. 

"Oo that's cute, aren't we supposed to be shopping for Premium Night at the club?" Tawanza asked.

"Yeah, but Im just shopping in general. What yall looking to wear? Ryan told us it supposed to be like sexy but still nice, so I was thinking a bodycon from Bebe?"

"I can't afford another one of those dresses... but I am having an idea of who I can make buy me one." Tawanza said with a cheeky smile as her eyes flicked over to Shanice with a sly grin. 

"Oh lord, lets pray Tawanza doesnt have a new man and if she does Im sorry for his foolish ass," Alexandria said laughing out and she took some snaps.

"That fool mussy thought he gunna get some and bounce, he aint know he about to get the fuck me up of his life," Daejanae said laughing.

"Yall saying the same-e-e-e thing I said earlier today!" Shanice laughed. 

"Mmm whateva, Im a saint I dont kno what yall talking about. My daddy would curse anyone who said otherwise about his little pumpkin," she said angelically as she draped two denim jeans over her arm and a flirty shift dress. 

"Ughhh girl? yo daddy thinks we all work at a dance studio, and Daejanae's baby sister is her daughter," Alexandria chimmed. 

"Yeah girl we love your dad but he delusional as hell," Alexandria chimed in even though her focus was buried in her phone.

"Bitches, all yall hating. But anyways remember the last time Future came to the club and his Deejay, DJ B.V came and was checking me out? Like last summer?" She said waiting on the rest to reply. 

"Yeah girl," Nikelie said as the rest nodded in agreement as they all remembered when Future came. 

"Well DJ B.V apparently got my number from someone that night and we been talking for a bit now since Future not on tour anymore. But get this they are having a party tomorrow night at Bal Harbour." she said placing her things on the counter to check out.

"Ooo yasss, so we going?!" Daejanae said with pure excitement. After the last couple of days she been having she needed a break and some time to unwind, meet some new guys, party and have a bomb ass time. 

"That would be dope to be honest, and Im sure Future would be looking for some back up dancers or choreographers maybe I could slip in a lil sum sum, get your girl out the club and straight to the top," Shanice said winking her eye at them. 

"Wait if its like Future party that means that one of them Migos guys, - oh or Drake might be at the party too right?"Alexandria asked now so intrigued she actually put down her phone. 

"Yeah I guess but-," Tawanza started before she cut off by Nikelie. 

"And that means I can forget about my man problems too, ooo girl yes," Nikelie stated clapping her hands applauding Tawanza's job well done on getting the girls in to an exclusive party. The girls were above the groupie scene but they all knew what new opportunities awaited at those kind of parties. Just like the opportunities that awaited in the club. Each girl had her own goal, and the club gave them money and the stability they needed to reach that goal. Daejanae's goal was becoming a hit fashion designer and journalist, but she also needed her law degree as a back up and safety net. While Alexandria though rich and well taken care of wanted to be a singer and song writer even if her parents didn't understand her dreams. Nikelie was on her way up to be the best at everything she tried her hand at, the girl had a mind out of this world and was so well rounded. She could do accounting, real estate broking, travel agency, even politics. Whatever she tried she succeeded in and no one stood a chance against her. Shanice was the best dancer in the club and had her own studio but she still was striving to be a hit choreographer for someone like Beyonce or J-lo. Tawanza though she didnt look it was striving to be a hardcore criminal investigator, the girl could read people like no one and had a natch for knowing people's deepest desires and getting them to admit them. Some people assumed the club was filled with one dimensional girls your typical exotic dancers, but each girl was a lot more talented than that and every girl had their own depth. It was simply a matter of looking deeper into her story.

"What time are we going?" Daejanae asked looking over to the rest still propped up on one of the display tables a few down. 

"What you gunna wear?" Nikelie asked looking over to Shanice.

"What am I going to wear?" Daejanae replied as she started to sift through her closet in her mind.

"I have no clothes," Alexandria answered with a slight whine. 

"I know this hoe aint just say she has nothing to wear. Bitch your closet is HUGE!," Shanice retorted to her exclamation that she had no clothes.

"How we getting there? Cause you the only one beside Lexie that drives," Daejanae asked looking over to Tawanza. 

"Well I can drive but I dont have no car," Nikelie rebutted adding her two cents.

"I think Sean may lend us his car for the night but if he finds out where we going I doubt he will want us go without him,"Alexandria chimmed in.

"Yeah and if he goes then dumb ass Tontraé and Jaquan gunna wanna come. And as much as I like Jaquan, Tontraé ain't going no where with me," Daejanae added.

"Ew girl no who carries a guy to a party?" 

"Oh bish your ass just mad cause you can't carry ALL yo side pieces to the party," 

"If yall would shut up for a minute I could finish talking doa," Tawanza butted in shutting them all up so she could finish, "Right as I was saying, he invited me to the party but-" she was cut off by the ringing of Shanice's phone followed by multiple pings that were all too familiar sent through in a blast to all of their phones. The ping could only mean one thing...

**CODE 000**

The ping could only mean one thing... Something bad has happened or was going down in the club.
