3:37

I glanced at my phone and saw how late it was. I did even know Jordan's house was so far away. I stuck my key in the door but I felt someone open the door.

I stepped back. "Amani? What are you doing here?"

"I was actually looking for you. Where have you been? I even had to have Khalifa to blow up your phone! Then you coming in the house late as hell!" My older sister yelled walking back inside.

I followed her.

"So are you going to explain yourself? Probably at that damn strip club!"

"I don't have to explain anything to you! And for you information I was not at the club!"

"Then where were you at?" Khalifa asked walking up to me.

I turned towards him quickly. "I mean I was there but why do you care Amani? I haven't heard from y'all in months and when I do, y'all want some money that comes from 'That damn club'."

"That is not true and you know it!"

"Then why are you here?"

She looked down and sat on the couch. "My landlord is kicking me out because I haven't paid the rent in a while."

"What's a while?"

"Since the last time you gave us money."

"What the fuck Amani! Are you serious right now? What happened to your job that you been bragging about?" I rubbed my face. "Where are you and the kids planning on staying? You know damn well you can't stay with momma cause she's in that retirement home in which I'm paying for!"

"I don't know Zani, I need some help. Can we stay here until I get back on my feet?"

I looked at Khalifa. "Ask him. I'm barely home, if it's cool with him you can. Even though I shouldn't because y'all always do me bogus cause of the way I make my money. The only reason why I'm letting you stay is because I don't want my niece and nephew out on the street. Where are they anyway?"

Khalifa pointed towards the guest room. "They sleeping in the back."

I let out a breath. "I'm too tired for this. We can finish this when I get home tomorrow, good night."

I walked straight to our room and laid down. They are some of the most judgest people out here but always want something. They hate the fact of me stripping so much that they completely cut me off. The only time they actually speak to me is when they need or want something and me being the person that I am. I give it to them with no hesitation. I put my mother in the best retirement community there is, but she still complains. I just need to sleep it off, this stress is gonna kill me.

I walked into the kitchen and saw Amani cooking breakfast. "Good morning."

"Hey auntie!" My 3 year old niece Faith and my 5 year old nephew Osha shouted running up to me.

"Hey babies." I hugged them. "Y'all got so big!"

"I'm these ones!" Faith said holding up 3 fingers telling me she's 3.

"No your not!"

"I am I am!"

"I made you something to thank you." Amani said smiling.

"Thanks but I'll take this to go. I have to go to work."

She squinted her eyes. "This early?"

"Yeah , I'm Jordan Calloway's assistant."

"Are you serious? He is so fine."
