The Stripper

Madeline | 7:16pm |Home

I was currently getting ready for a small party that Leah's co-workers were having at the office.

Leah: Baby, are you ready?

Me: Almost, Im slipping on my jewerly.

Leah: Okay.

I slipped on my diamonds and was ready.

Me: Im ready.

Leah: Okay. Come on.

We went downstairs where Athena was watching tv.

Athena: Leah, will there be food there?

Leah: I think so.

Athena: Okay good, because Im hungry.

I smiled as she rubbed her stomach.

Me: We'll eat soon, okay baby?

She nodded and we got in Leah's car.

Athena: Leah, can we listen to music?

Leah: No Athena. Im trying to drive, just sit back and look out the window.

And this is why Im really beginning not to like Leah.

Me: You can listen to music on mommy's phone. Okay?

Athena nodded while looking down.

Me: Chin up baby. Princesses don't put their head down. When they do, you can't tell if they are a princess or not.

She put her head up and a tear fell out her eye. I wiped it and gave her a smile.

Athena is sensitive. Extremely sensitive, a cute cat could make her cry but Leah seems to love making my baby cry.

I handed her my phone and the apple earphones. She plugged up and I shot Leah a glare.

Me: Its music. Music doesn't distract you. It never did!

Leah: Stop yelling at me, Maddy.

Me: Or what, huh?

She didn't say anything, she just parked and cut the engine.

Me: Exactly.

We all got out and Leah walked ahead of us and into the building.

Leah: Your a dancer and thats all they need to know.

I was about to reply but a man had came over to us.

Man: Leah! You made it.

Leah: Yeah, I did.

He looked at me then at Athena anf licked his lips.

Me: Excuse me, who the hell are you licking your lips at?
