A Strippers Money

- 1 2 ;

I had woken up during the surgery and all I could feel was Pain. It would be a horrible feeling to describe. I turned my head to the left as I saw the nurse holding my child. I grew curious because after a moment of silence, I heard crying of a baby.

I slowly looked over and saw her body excitedly moving around. I smiled. I was more happy than I was curious. I didn't care that she was alive when she wasn't supposed to be. She was here and that was all that mattered.

After getting cleaned up, I held her for the first time. She was beautiful. A spitting image of me and my own baby pictures . She was silent in my arms . To my surprise, there was nothing wrong with her. She didn't show signs of any sickness or harm. She even had an outtie belly button which in my eyes was adorable . Of course, I wouldn't be able to bring her home for another two weeks. They took her and placed her in an incubator, wheeling her out of the room.

A few days after going through my procedure I was ready to go home . I called Chresanto and he didn't answer. I couldn't figure out why he'd be so mad over something I had no control over . I had no other choice but to call Kelvin for a ride. He answered and he said he was on his way. I sat in the front as his car pulled into the pickup line. I tucked my phone in my pocket and walked toward his car. He got out and laughed as he helped me into the car . I got in and buckled up

" What's funny? "

" Shit , Im a father "

He was all smiles and I wasn't surprised. I just wouldn't expect this kind of reaction. I tucked my hair behind my ear. She was his daughter and clearly his only blood. Im not sure if she has any problems, but if she does, I feel he deserves to know something. I turned the radio down and he slowed down at the light

" Why you turning my music down ? "

I looked at him and wondered if he was worthy of knowing anything. If I would say anything about Chresanto's uncle doing what he did, he'd find them both and kill them. I cared for Chres but not for his uncle. If this baby didn't make it, then I would've had no choice but to tell him. What he doesn't know won't hurt him... right?

" Nothing, I just have a earache "

" My babymoms done grew soft on me "

" Yeah whatever .. "

I looked out the window and noticed he wasn't driving towards my house. We were nearing the street that gave My stripping spot its name. He neared the curb and started to unlatch his seatbelt . I looked at him and he reached in the backseat, grabbing a pistol.

" Kelvin, what's ?

" Chill, All I'm doing is taking care of a mixup. Don't leave this damn car, because you will get fucked up, not by me but someone else. This ain't the strip club it used to be "

" What if shit pops off Kelvin ? "

"Then start the car and pull off. Don't come looking for me. If I'm not back in 5 minutes, Drive to the Exxon Up the street. Don't move after you get there.."

" You want me to leave you? Kelvin what the fuck ! "

" Just do it "

He slammed his door and made sure I locked them. I watched from the outside and grew anxious.I grabbed the keys and unbuckled my seatbelt. After grabbing one of his jackets from the backseat,I saw his bulletproof jacket and slid it on quickly ,and left the car. I approached the front door and jumped when I started to open it. I saw gun lights flashing . I zipped up the jacket and went inside. My foot stepped on a hand, causing me to stumble and fall back into somebody's embrace.

I kept quiet. Kelvin was on the floor but I didn't see any gunshot wounds on him. He was dealing with Kartels - A wealthy stripping management. They'd sale females for things they wanted. I was lucky enough to never get traded, I was too young to be sold For anything. I looked at Kelvin and the one gripping me spoke.

" We ducking and dodging now ? "

He cocked the gun and as he did I got down. I hovered my body over His and he shot the bullet. It Hit Me, But I could only feel a burning sensation.

" This bitch got guts. Sad to see a dime gone over a nigga. Bring me what I want Kelvin, or this pussy mine "

It was obvious he was referring to me. They left and dropped their gums at the door. I got off of him once they were gone . I took the jacket and vest off and waited for his smartass remark.

" Damn, Now I really gotta give he what he wants. Why the fuck you ain't just do what I say? "

" Kelvin, I don't listen. You've clearly learned this the hard way but c'mon. The cops will be here any minute "

I handed him the keys as he got up. I walked out the door and toward the car. He did so and pulled off. I put my seatbelt on and felt flushed. I felt dizzy and I couldn't see straight. He parked against the curb .

" I'll be back with sum' food for you, I know that hospital shit the worst "

I didn't think much as he waited for me to get inside. Once I did, I stood, barely keeping my balance. I walked towards my door and grabbed my key from beneath the mat. Once I got in, I waited for him to Drive off.

I locked my door and made my way over to my couch. It was dark and the only light that shone was from my phone . I unlocked my phone and checked my emails from the hospital which said I could get my baby in 2 weeks ! It was the second thing that brightened my day . Kelvin arrived with the food that I barely ate. I was more thirsty than I was hungry .

" What'd you get to drink ? "

" They both sprite "

I smacked my lips and moaned in pain. I don't know what it was, but everything felt fucked up. I got to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle. I opened it and drank it slowly. My bottom lip tingled. I was about to spit it all up . I ran to the trashcan and spit everything up . After doing so, Kelvin came in and helped clean me up .

" You good ? "

" I will be once I get in bed "

He carried me to my room and lyed me down. I moved my hair out my face and spoke to him.

" Thank you "

" Anytime G , ima stay the night in case you need anything "
