I woke up for school and realized that Jamie had left. I got dress then I drove myself to school. I felt horrible. I didn't feel good but I knew I had to be to school to take these finals.
I went through the whole listening to music with my headphones in. I didn't speak or eat I just listened to music.
When school was over I drove home. I laid on the couch and watched t.v. I heard the door opened I turned to see Jamie.
"I ain't staying I just forgot something." He mentioned.
"Bae can we talk?" I asked standing up.
"About what you told me to leave."
"Please this is important."
"Alright what?"
"I'm pregnant." Jamie stopped and looked at me like he was surprised.
"Wait you what?"
"Pregnant."
"When you find this out?"
"Yesterday."
"When?"
"After you left."
"So what you wanna do?"
"What you mean?"
"Are you gonna keep it ? Get rid of it? What are you gonna do?"
"I wanna keep it."
"Okay then we're gonna be parents"
"Why you acting like you don't care?"
"I'm happy about the baby but the baby isn't gonna fix the shit that you got going on."
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean? I had a fucking fight."
"It's not that !"
"Then what is it?"
"I'm trying to keep a low profile, you got business everywhere you got mad people on your ass that's shit that is just drama."
"Okay Well if you going to leave then go I'll be by my damn self." I started crying. I couldn't believe that my life was falling apart.
"Look hope I'm not leaving you I'm just going home for a while. Just keep me updated with the baby until I come back. We need some time apart."
"Okay Jamie."
"I love you."
"Yeah I know."
Jamie left. I went to lock the door then I went upstairs and cried myself asleep.
I went weeks without talking to Jamie. I worked at the club every night stacking as much money as I could before i start to show. Graduation day was slowly approaching. I figured that it was best that I stay to myself.
When I wasn't in school or the club I would be at the gym working on keeping my body in shape. I would work out when I'm mad I would work out when I started thinking about Jamie. I just tried to do things on my own. I was getting frustrated but I knew I would get the hang of things.
Now I'm sitting the house sad. I knew that it was time to call Jamie.
"Hello." He answered you could tell he wasn't looking forward to talking to me.
"It's me Hope."
"I know wassup? Is everything okay?"
"I miss you."
"Hope I miss you too."
"So come come home."
"Hope what's really on your mind?"
"You. I been going to school thinking about you. I been crying myself asleep. I need you by my side. Ill do anything to have you here with me."
"Bae, I been thinking about you too."
"Babe I love you and I want you to come back. I'm sorry."
"Bae I'll come back but the drama gotta stop."
"It's all over with."
"I'll come back alright? How the baby?"
"The baby is fine I'm 3 months pregnant. "
"That's good well let me go finish working I'll call you later alright?"
"Alright."
I felt a little better that I finally fixed things with my baby. But it was still things bothering me. I knew the next person I needed to go clear things up with.
I pulled up to Chrissy's house. Deep down I felt like I shouldn't work things out with her but I know with Ron knowing about the baby she might be going through it.
After I knocked about a minute later she opened the door. She looked great for a pregnant woman. She was glowing she had a big belly and everything.
"Why are you here?" Chrissy asked.
"I came to talk to you."
"About what?"
"Can I come in?"
"Sure but make it quick."
"I will."
I can in , then sat down on the couch.
"So talk."
"Look Ron lied to you. I'm here to tell you the truth. I just wanna clear my name."
"Look I don't care about that nigga."
"It's about me. You fought me for nothing. You didn't even had the heart to ask me what happened I wouldn't of lied to you."
"How should I know?"
"He kissed me then I pushed him off me then I left. That's all that happened. I wouldn't want to hurt my friend and I wouldn't want to mess up things with Jamie."
"I guess I was wrong. I'm sorry for that shit."
"It's cool. I'm sorry for not letting you know either."
"It's okay."
"Damn I thought of you like my best friend. But we let a lame ass nigga come between us."
"Yeah I know right but I'm glad you came over."
"I'm glad we worked things out."
"But what's been up with you?"
"My cousin Joy died. My aunt lost te baby she was pregnant with. Ron had beaten me so bad he put me in the hospital. I fought this girl name Jada and I found out I'm expecting."
"Damn. But why did Ron do that?"
"He was talking about how you was pregnant with a baby that wasn't his and I knew."
"That's fucking ridiculous."
"Yup but besides all that I'm about to be a mom."
"Wow."
"Yup."
"How far along are you?"
"I'm 3 months."
"I'm 5 months."
"Jamie is so happy that we about to have a baby."
"Mullah and me doing okay. He don't come around as much as I want him to but he comes."
"I went to prom too."
"Really how was sit?"
"It was amazing I won prom queen too."
"Congrats."
"I'm just waiting for graduation."a
"I'm proud of you. Even with all this drama you still got that school shit."
"Yup but I'm not stripping anymore."
"Why?"
"I'm about to be a mom. I don't want my child to know of his or her mother that way. Plus Jamie and I talked about this. I told him I wasn't doing stripping forever."
"I hear you."
"I mean the money is great but I can do better."
"That's true. I ain't going back to the club either."
"So what you doing?"
"I'm working with Khyree and we doing business. I'm getting like sixty bands a week working. With him."
"That's great at least you still got money."
"Yup."
After catching up with Chrissy I went home. I got my man back and I got my best friend back. I was at a good place.
The next day I got dress then went over my aunts house to see her.
"Hey Hope." Greeted Marcus.
"Wassup y'all I came to chill with you guys.
"Aunt in shower her boyfriend ain't here right now."
"It's cool I'll chill with you guys."
"So wassup?"
"Well I ain't stripping no more. I got a boyfriend now. I got beaten by this boy from my past and got put in the hospital."
"What the fuck is going on? What did your boyfriend do?"
"He handled him. I'm fine now. "
"Okay. Well things have been not so good with Joy being gone."
"How is she?"
"She is okay but she acts like it never happened."
"Everyone grieve differently."
"I guess."
Then Passion walked in the living room.
"Hey hope I didn't know you was coming over." She hugged me and kissed me as if she missed me.
"I wanted to surprise you."
"That's great but what's been going on with you."
"Nothing important but I have something I want to tell you."
"What?"
"I'm pregnant!"
"Shut your mouth! Really?"
"and
"Congrats cuzzo!" Cheers Marcus.
"By who?"
"My boyfriend."
"Why u haven't met him?"
"I was thinking you guys can come over to my house and have dinner."
"Okay. Just tell us when and I'll be there. So tell us about him."
"His name is Jamie. He lives in Miami. He sells drugs. He 19 his birthday is next week.we been together almost a years now."
"You love then hood boys."
"He is far from a hood boy he just sells drugs."
"Okay. He treat you right?"
"Yes aunty."
"He better, or he gonna have to hear from me." Marcus jumped in.
"Look guys he is great."
"How does he feel about the baby?"
"He is more excited than me."
"Okay."
"I want you guys to come over for dinner Friday."
"Okay."
"Around 7."
"Okay."
"Alright I have to go so I'll see you guys Friday."
"Okay." Replied her aunt.
After stoping by my aunts house I went to get pizza then I went home. When I pulled up I notice Jamie's car was out front.
When I walked in, there he was sitting on the couch playing the game. I was so happy he was home.
"Hey baby." Jamie gave me a hug and kiss , rubbing his across my belly he said" You carrying a piece of me."
"I know. I got pizza if you want some."
"That's good cuz I don't feel like cooking tonight."
"Me neither."
"I'm so happy your carrying my baby."
"I'm happy too. My aunt wants to meet you. So I invited them over for dinner Friday."
"Cool."
"Why you say that?"
"What you mean. I'm happy I let you meet my family so why not meet your family?"
"Okay if you don't wanna meet them right now because of the drama I been getting into just say so I'll reschedule."
"Bae it's nothing seriously. I want to meet them. Bae I'm over that dean bullshit I'm happy I got my family."
"Me too."
It was finally here. The night my family is going to meet the man who came m in love with. I was nervous. Marcus like my older brother, and my aunt who's like my second mother. They both just want what's best for me I hope they both see what I see in Jamie.
"Bae can you set the table. I'll get the door." I walked over to the door. When I opens it I saw my aunt , her boyfriend and Marcus.
"Come in." They walked in. They sat on the couch. They looked around. It being the first time they seen my house. I knew they were wondering how I could have a nice ass house like this.
"Your house is nice. You living good I see." My aunt said.
"You must got a pool in the back yard?" Asked Marcus.
"Well I wish but I don't. Thanks aunt." I finally spoken. The Jamie came out the dinning room.
"Hey everyone I'm Jamie." Jamie waved. They stared for a bit then they finally spoke.
"Wassup?" Greeted My aunts boyfriend giving Jamie a handshake.
"Hello I'm her aunt. She's like my child. I hope your treating her right." My aunts words were spoken from her heart she was taking the place of my mother. Jamie shook his head in understanding.
"Wassup? I'm Marcus I'm like a big brother to her." Marcus reached to give Jamie a handshake.
After introducing each other we sat at the table. I said grace then we started eating. I made fried chicken with mashed potatoes and spinach.
"So how did you meet my niece?" Asked my aunt.
"Well I was at the mall one day. I ran into at the sneaker store I spoke up for someone gorgeous. She was so o
beautiful. I was surprised she gave me her number." Jamie explained.
"What do you ant from her?"
"What you mean I want her to finish school. I want her to be happy with her life. She told me about her past. The last thing I want is to see her down again. I want us to raise this baby together like a family. This is my responsibility too. I love her."
"I've been by her side. I would never put her in harms way I hope you understand."
"I do."
"Well welcome to the family."
"I'm happy to be apart of it."
After meeting my family at dinner. Jamie stuck around for a couples of months. I was 6 months pregnant. I had graduated. I was a part time mom and a part time hustler. Besides the money I pulling with Jamie. I had mommy and me classes. I was working out at the gym. I was eating right I was doing good for my first couples of months. Chrissy had a girl named Mulan. She would come visit me sometimes but she was always busy dealing with Mullah that she would be in the house with the baby. So I laid around with my feet up. I would read to the baby. I would sing to the baby too.
The day I had a doctors appointment to find out the sex of the baby. I took Marcus with me.
"Hello Ms. Wright, how are you today?" Asked Dr. Rogers my doctor.
"I'm fine beside the baby kicking and hurting my back I'm fine." I joked."
"Well that's how you know the baby is rotating. Your almost there."
"I know it went by so fast."
"It seems like that."
"Where's Jamie?"
"He's home in Miami."
"Wow he left?"
"He's coming back he just had to do somethings."
"Alright let's check up on the baby." He squeeze the cold gel on my stomach then he turned the ultrasound machine so we could see. Then he showed us the baby.
When seeing my baby I would always start to cry. After all the pain I been through I was finally happy. I was happy i was going to give my baby the life I didn't have.
"From what it looks like, Hope your pregnant with a baby girl." My doctor said still looking at the screen.
"Damn another you!" Yelled Marcus.
"Wow."
"Congrats."
"Thanks brother."
After my doctors appointment I went to go pick up some more things for the baby's nursery. I got some Wendy's then I went home.
I ate, then I went to sleep . I woke up then I cleaned then laid back down. I felt so sick so I stayed in the house. Jamie called.
"Yes baby?" I asked.
"You good? I ain't hear from you all day." Jamie was concerned.
"I been throwing up all day. This girl been kicking me all day. My back hurt and everything." I explained.
"Wait. She?"
"Yes. I forgot to tell you I found out yesterday at the doctors. It's a girl."
"That's wassup. But I should be in town by tomorrow I gotta do the usuals I won't be leaving until you have the baby. I don't want to miss my baby girls birth."
"Okay, I can't wait until you get her so you can rub my feet."
"Alright get some rest."
"Okay."
I slept for a couple of hours. Then I got in the shower and I got dress. I made something to eat then I sat on the couch. I decided to call Monica.
"Wassup Mama?" Asked Monica as soon as she picked up.
"I'm bored let's go the mall." I replied.
"My car in the shop so come pick me up . Then we can go."
"Alight I'm on my way."
I had a Pink bra on with some white jeans with my Gucci bag and Gucci slippers. I grabbed my keys and my phone then I rolled out.
I pulled up to Monica's crib , she was sitting there on the porch.
"You look so cute ." Monica said as she got in the car.
"Thanks babe."
"You just wanted to let your stomach breathe?"
"Girl I had this on and I didn't feel like looking for a shirt so I wore it like this."
"You still look good."
"I know."
Monica and I went store to store. Going crazy on the spending. I had a couple of bag and so did she.
"Let's go get something to eat." Said Monica as we pulled off from the mall.
"I want some hot wings. What about you?"
"I want some pizza."
"I know this great spot where we can get both."
"Then let's go."
We arrived at the plaza I was talking about. It was over by where Khyree lived. I fell in love with this place just when I fell in love with him.
"Girl this place ain't even expensive." Said Monica looks no at the menu.
"Girl do you wanna eat here?" I asked."
"What you mean?"
"I mean do you wanna take the food back to my place or do you wanna eat here?"
"Let's go back to your place I wanna take my shoes off and relax when I eat."
"Okay. We'll order our food. I want a 20 piece hot wing special. That's comes with fries and a soda."
"Alright. Excuse me I'm ready to order." The lady came up to the counter and took out a note pad.
"What could I get you?" She asked.
"I'll have a 20 piece special that comes with fries and a soda. Also I'll have a small pie of pepperoni pizza with extra cheese. Can you also give me a ginger ale with that?"
"Alright , your total will be $15.50."
"I'll pay." I suggested pulling out 16 dollars."
"Here is your change." I took the money and put it in my pocket then I went to sit down. Monica followed.
"Girl how you here about this place?"
". My ex took me here a couple of times."
"Oh."
"When is Jamie coming back up here?"
"He should be coming today."
"When will he leave again?"
"After I have my baby."
"Do you really love him?"
"Yes we been together for almost a year and he's been treating me so right."
"I here you I'm still waiting on my Mr. Wright."
"It's like you don't wanna deal with nobody but you can't help but flirt back when someone who looks good like Jamie walks up and compliments you and asks for your number."
"I here you."
"I'm glad I left him. After everything I been through when I look at him and all that he has did for me and with I realize I accomplished so much."
"Does he gave any friends?"
"I'll see."
"Okay."
"Excuse me miss your food is ready!" Said the lady at the counter. We stood up then Monica went to grab the food then we left. When I got to the crib Jamie's car was parked outside he was home.
"Hey Daddy!" I shouted as I kissed him and hugged him when I came through the door.
"Hey bae."
"Why you always get here and don't Text me ?"
"I be chilling."
"Whatever you know Monica right?"
"Yeah. Wassup?"
"Hey." Monica sat at the table with here food.
"Y'all went to get something to eat? What y'all bring me back?"
"Nothing but you can eat these hot wings and fries with me."
"Nah bae you go ahead and eat I'm just gonna order me something."
"Bae you can eat with me."
"Bae I'm good."
"Whatever."
"What?"
"I want you to eat with me."
"Bae you and my daughter is eating together already."
"Shut up stupid."
"I love you too."
"I love you more daddy."
Monica stayed and chilled with me for a bit. Then it was me and Jamie time.
"Daddy!"
"Yes bae?"
"Can I have some dick?"
"Come get it."
I walked out the bathroom fully naked. I crawled over to him as he laid on his back blowing smoke in the air.
I kissed his chest tattoo then his stomach then I worked my way down to his man hood.  I wrapped my mouth around it then I moved my head up and down letting spit run down his long dick.
"Oh shit! Suck Daddy dick!" Jamie moaned.
I continue for a bit then I hopped on reverse cowgirl style.
"Oh! Fuck!" I screamed loudly.
"Ride Daddy dick!"
"Yes! Yes!"
"You live Daddy's dick?"
"Yes Daddy!"
"Oh! You creaming for daddy ?"
"Yes !"
"Fuck!"
"I'm about to come daddy!"
"Mmm."
"Daddy come with me!"
"Uh shit daddy coming too."
"Uh shit. "
"Uhhhh!"
We laid cuddled up with each other.
"Bae?" I asked.
"Yes bae?" Jamie responded.
"Would you ever leave me?"
"Bae we both know the answer to that."
"I know but I love hearing you say it."
"I will never leave you."
"I know."
"How's business up here?"
"It's great. If I had to say you should be a millionaire by next month."
"That's the plan."
"Bae what are you going to do with all this money?"
"Well I'm thinking about opening up a business."
"What type of business?"
"A club. I want the biggest club in New York."
"What would you call it?"
"Fantasy."
"That's dope."
"Bae who's going to run the club while you live all the way in Miami?"
"Well my Todd. With the help of First Lady."
"Who me?"
"Yes. Both of y'all are gonna help me build this from the ground up."
"I would love to."
"You still gonna help me move bricks, and your gonna own part of the business."
"Omg I would love to."
"Thanks babe."
"We should gender reveal party. We could invite your family and my family some friends of yours some friends of mines."
"That's what you want?"
Yeah but I don't wanna deal with a lot of people."
"Just let me know."
"Okay."
"Can we to the zoo tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
"I scheduled for us to take pictures Saturday."
"Alright. What outfit we wearing?"
"We gotta look in our closets, if we can't find nothing then we going to the mall."
"Alright. Baby I want a bigger place."
"I do too but not right now."
"I want space to move my brother in."
"He can move in right now I got a extra room."
"You gonna take care of him while I'm in Miami?"
"Wait your not moving in?"
"I am eventually but I need something now my brother needs some place stable. My grandmother is on her death bed , my cousin can't barely take care of herself. I just want him to have a steady place before September."
"There is a school a couple of blocks from here. I can take him to school in the morning and pick him up. I'll take care of him."
"I don't wanna put him on you , he's my responsibility. You already got the baby."
"Jamie. We deal with shit together. I'll take care of him. Just give me his important documents and I'll enroll him in school. I'll start looking for furniture for his room tomorrow. I got hell money and so do you. We are a family." Jamie looked in my eyes. Then he kissed my lips and wrapped his arms around my waist and laid his head on the pillow.
The next day was all work and grind. Jamie was out moving work all day. While I was keeping up with the books. I manage to order a bed room set for his brothers room. I went to Mommy and Me classes. I made a deposit at the bank. I came home. I cleaned and cooked.
"Bae how was your day?" Asked Jamie.
"It was stressful as hell." I replied looking up.
"How?"
"We been coming up short on Rell's part of the share. He always coming with the excuses. Which I think is all bullshit. The baby wouldn't stop kicking me for shit. She is so excited to come out."
"She ready to meet her daddy."
"It's almost that time."
"I know. I spoke to my brother today."
"What y'all was talking about?"
"He was telling me how my cousin and her boyfriend was arguing."
"About?"
"Him cheating him not being there for the kids. Regular shit."
"Doesn't she want better for kids?"
"What you mean?"
"If she wanted better she would see that a lame ass Nigga like him is good to have around."
"I understand that."
"So did you tell him he might be moving in with me?"
"No not yet."
"Whenever you get the papers to me I'll have him enrolled in school."
"They in my bag up stairs."
"Okay I'll do it tomorrow."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"I selling my house too."
"When?"
"Currently."
"When should you be moving in?"
"Well I thought after the baby was born I'll stay for a month or two then I'll go back to Miami to pack up my stuff."
"Then what?"
"Then I can start moving my stuff up here."
"That's great."
"Hope I love you and I'm happy you are willing to help me raise my brother."
"Bae I got you."
The next day I met with Monica to run some errands.
"So why are we at this school?" Asked  Monica.
"I have to enroll Jamie's brother in school."
"Okay."
"He's moving in with me."
"His brother?"
"Yes."
"So your a mommy of two?"
"Jamie needs someone who can take care of his brother. I am already about to be a mommy to his first child I just figured I can take care of him too."
"What about Jamie's family?"
"His moms an attic , his grandmother is on her death bed, and his cousin can't barely take care of her self and her kids. Jamie is all he got."
"So is Jamie moving in too?"
"Yes."
"That's good at least your not alone."
"I know right."
"After this are we going to get are. Ails done?"
"Yeah it's time to get my feet and eyebrows done."
"Me too."
After enrolling his brother I school I went to the nail salon and then home.
"Hey Daddy!" I shouted as I came in and gave him a hug and kiss.
"Hey babe." He hugged for a long time then he kissed my forehead.
"He's enrolled in school. I got the uniform requirements. He starts school September 5th. That's like 4 weeks away."
"Okay so I'll start buying him some more clothes tomorrow for his closet then I'll bring him her next week."
"He is he now? What's his name?"
"Quadir. Right now he in Miami with my cousin."
"The one I met a dinner?"
"Yes she lives in Miami with me."
"Who watches your grandmother?"
"She got a home nurse."
"Okay."
"You ready?" Jamie rubbed my belly.
"I'm so ready."
"I love you bae."
"I love you too." We kissed then I got up to go in the kitchen.
Jamie's phone started ringing.
"Hello? He answered." Wait slow down!" He rose from the couch. It was clearly something wrong." I'm on my way. I'll be there by tomorrow morning." Jamie hung up the phone and went for his keys.
"What happened?"
"Quadir Called me and told me my cousin been gone for days and he haven't ate in days."
"What?"
"Yeah I'll be back."
"Alright call me."
When Jamie left I went to the store. I knew that Quadir's bed wouldn't be here until next week so I went to go get an air bed. I got a bed cover set then j went home to get things ready for Quadir.
The next morning around 9 I woke up I cleaned up so showered I made breakfast. I heard Jamie pull into the driveway around 4 in the afternoon.
I opened the door. I seen Jamie he opens the car door. Then his brother got out the car. He was a smaller version of Jamie he had waves he was swagger out he favored Jamie a lot.
"Hey babe." I waved. Jamie walks up to the stairs with Quadir.
"Hey." Jamie kissed me.
We all got int the house. We sat in the living room.
"Quadir this is my girlfriend Hope. She's the one I said is having my baby." Quadir looked up at me.
"Hey." He spoke.
"Hi, it's nice to finally meet you."
"Quadir you going to be staying here with us."
"Your moving here too?" He asked."
"Yes I wouldn't leave you with someone your barely know. Plus I want to be closer to my own child."
"I guess."
"What's wrong Quadir?" I asked sitting next to him.
"I don't wanna have to meet new friends."
"Sometimes change is good. If you don't Chang rip things you'll be afraid to try new things and step out your comfort zone. This is the last time you have to start over. "
"You sure."
"I'm positive."
"Okay."
"Are you hungry?"
"Yeah a little."
"I ordered pizza."
"Okay."
"Quadir come on let me show you your room." Jamie walked up stairs.
I felt bad that Quadir had to go from place to place like that. I knew for sure that Jamie and I would do right for him.
After dinner Jamie played video gm airs with Quadir for a bit then Quadir went to bed.
"Jamie!" I called his name from the bedroom.
"Yes?"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm talking to Quadir."
"Alright."
"I was telling him that he was going to be with you all day tomorrow while I was out handling things."
"Okay."
"Y'all can go uniform shopping and clothes shopping. Let him go buy a game system too with a couple of games. Also can you make sure to buy him some sneakers. I got a tv coming tomorrow for his room."
"Cool I have the cable people come hook up the cable tomorrow too."
"Okay."
The next day was a busy day. I got up and made breakfast for Quadir and Jamie.
"Your very pretty." Said Quadir. Both Jamie and I busted out laughing.
"Boy what you trynna take my lady?"
"Nah."
""Thanks Quadir at least someone noticed."
"I say your pretty all the time."
"I know daddy."
"Are you having ably or a girl?"
"A girl."
"What are you going to name her?"
"Well I was thinking Royalty or Imani
"You should name her Ashanti."
"That's pretty."
"I know right?"
"Boy shut up and eat so you can go get dress." Jamie smiled at Quadir. You could tell that Jamie was happy that Quadir was being taken care of.
"Quadir?" I yelled form the door.
"Yessss!" He replied.
"I'm waiting on you. Can you hurry up?"
"I'm coming I was looking for my phone."
"Do you have it ?"
"Yeah I got it now."
"Okay let's go."

"Bae can you help us with the bags?"

"I see y'all went all out."
"We got everything. We got uniforms we got sneakers we got clothes we got games we got the game system. We had a blast today.
"I see."
"Yo Quadir how do you like Hope?"
"I like her a lot she's fun." He seemed so happy.
"Alright take this tuff to your room and put it away I'll come hook up the system."
"Alright."
As son as Jamie left the room. Jamie came over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"I miss you." He said."
"I miss you too."
"So how was it?"
"It was great we had mad fun together."
"He a real good kid he was just brought up wrong."
"I know. Bae my feet hurt so let me go lay down."
"I'm coming upstairs in a few."
The next day went like a usual I would wake workout shower then I'll make breakfast for Quadir and Jamie.
Jamie left to go pick out him and quadir's outfit for Saturday when we take our pictures. Then they went for a haircut.
I went to go see my aunt.
"You look so cute!" My aunt blurted out.
"I don't feel like that." I set down on the couch. Marcus came in and sat down on the couch.
"Hey ugly!" He said.
"Hey big head."
"Why you look so down?"
"My body hurt this baby making my feel swell. She hurting my back. Plus I'm been running around handling things for Quadir."
"Who's Quadir?"
"Jamie's little brother."
"Oh what you been doing for him?"
"Shopping and enrollment for school. I been getting room together. I been cooking I been cleaning I been working out. I been planning a party. I'm tired."
"Hope just relax. We need you to have a good birth. What party is you planning?" Asked my aunt as she sat next to me.
"A baby gender reveal party."
"Do you need help with anything. I can help you out so that you can get some rest."
"I need to finish inviting everyone. I gotta go check out the space tomorrow. I need to get a cake. I have to have a do. I need to figure out foods."
"Let me find the show I'll go with you to go cake tasting and to look at the space. Now you just have to finish the guest."
"Okay. Thanks."
"What is Jamie doing?"
"Jamie is in the streets handling business. He's been in with me more since his brother came a couple of days ago."
"He needs to start coming around more. This time in your pregnancy needs to stress free. You need to relax and rest. Make sure you have this talk with him."
"I will."
"I seen your mother the other day."
"Where?"
"I was driving to the super market and she looked bad."
"What you mean?"
"Your mother doings drugs."
"No she not."
"Yeah. She got put out her house. She got shut going on."
"Wow I would of thought she would go down this bad."
"Yeah she needs to get it together.,"
"Forreal."
After chilling with my aunt I went home. When I got in, Jamie was sleep on the couch. Quadir was in his room playing the game in his room yelling and making hella noise.
"Quadir! Go to bed!" I shouted into his room as I opens the door.
"Why?"
"Boy don't question me! I'm tired and your making all this noise on the game!"
"Oh my godh!"
"Good night." I slammed his door. Then I went into my own. I fel straight to sleep.
"Baeeeee!" Jamie called.
"Yes?" I said waking up."
"Why you left your shoes in the middle of the floor?"
"That's what the fuck you woke me up for?"
"I need you to go make breakfast."
"Nigga your hands don't look broken."
"Hope just go make the breakfast."
"Jamie I'm fucking tired! My back hurt! Let me fucking rest!
"Never mind I'm going out Quadir in his room."
"Okay."
After Jamie left I got up to go check on Quadir.
"Quadir you hungry?"
"A little."
"Go shower and brush your teeth I got some things I'm doing today you rolling with me so you better be ready. I'm going to start breakfast."
"Alright."
I made eggs , grits , bacon and pancakes. While Quadir are I went to shower and dress. I wore shorts and a white t shirt with my purple 12's. When I was done I ate and then we left. I went to go get Monica so we can go get some things for the baby and the party.
"Girl you look like a mom." Monica joked.
"I feel like a mom."
"You having your second one."
"No my first, don't get it twisted."
"Where us Jamie?"
"That nigga always out. ThT be phasing me off sometimes, he can't never be in the house. I'm pregnant doing everything. He talks about what he want but he don't do shut."
"Damn."
"I love Quadir I don't mind taking care of him. I love my baby I don't mind grinding for her but I just want him to do more. This morning he woke me up telling me to go make breakfast."
"What?"
"Yeah he must of lost his mind."
"True."
"But I love him."
"You can love him but you need to be 50/50 with that nigga."
"I know."
We handle things for the party and the baby then I took Quadir home so I can cook dinner. Jamie was home playing the game.
"Jamie why the he'll do you come in the damn house and get on the game like dishes ain't in the sink?" I yelled from the kitchen. I was fed up with his shit.
"You need to lower your voice and watch your mouth."
"Jamie you don't do shit!"
"What you mean?"
"What I said. I do everything but you live that game."
"I'm chilling why you gotta start?"
"I ain't. I'm just saying I'm tired of doing everything at least you can do something at least the dishes. Damn!"
"Okay."
"Now it's okay. Go tell them other bitches "okay" I ant that bitch."
"What the duck are you talking about?"
"Jamie leave me the hell alone!"
"Watch your mouth!"
"You curse like ten time do shit up! I'm grown."
"You can't act your age for shit."
"Whatever."
I cooked dinner. After Quadir are I did dishes then I took a shower and went to sleep. The next morning I went to go look st spaces with my aunt and go cake tasting.
I got home and Quadir was home alone.
"Quadir where is Jamie?" I asked as I sat down on the couch.
"He left earlier and he ain't been back since."
"Did  you eat ?"
"Yeah I made me some sandwiches."
"Okay you hungry now?"
"Not really."
"Okay if you get hungry let me know."
"Alright."
Then in walked in Jamie. He walked straight upstairs. He had bags in his hand then he came back done with none.
"Quadir go get your room together." Jamie demanded. He sat down in the recliner and looked at me.
"So where did you go?"
"I went to go handle business. "
"That's your favorite thing to do."
"That's all I know."
"I guess.
"Why you gotta start?"
"Jamie stop acting innocent."
"What's the problem?"
"You."
"What I do?"
"That's the problem you don't do shit."
"I love how you wanna keep saying that."
"Bruh I be working too but I still manage to do for our baby girl. I go out everyday and make shit happened for her. You be out all day then you come back and get on the game. You don't cook or clean shit."
"Bae I be tired too.
"Okay Jamie."
"I'm on a timed scheduled I got club I'm trying to open by December. I'm making sure money getting around to everyone I'm in the streets everyday with my life at risk for y'all. Stop with that shit."
"Let's not talk about it."
"You mad now?"
"No."
"I love  you baby."
"I love you too." Jamie kissed me then he slid his fingers in my wet pussy.
"Mmm." I moaned."
"That's what you need."
"Give it to me."
"I will most definitely." We headed upstairs. After that amazing make up sex we we both out . For the next couple of weeks we handle business for Quadir Andorinha baby girl.
It was finally Quadir's first day of school. He wore a white polo uniform shirt with khaki joggers with white air forces. He had a fresh cut he had school supplies. Game was ready. I drove him to school.
"Quadir here's your school."
"See you later."
"That's all I get?" Quadir gave me a hug and he kissed my cheek. Quadir was off for school and I had a doctors appointment. I was officially 7 months pregnant.
"Hey Hope! Greeted Dr.Rogers.
"Hey."
"How you feeling?"
"I been really tired but that's it."
"Your finally seven months. Your finally in your third trimester."
"I'm sooo excited."
"Have you gotten a name yet?"
"I'm thinking about Ashanti Renae Carter."
"That's pretty."
"Thanks."
After my appointment I went to check and see how the place looked the baby reveal part was tonight. It looked great so I went to go get our clothes out the cleaners. Then I went to get my hair done then I went to pick up Quadir.
"How was school?" I asked when I pulled off.
"It was fun. I met two boys who live by our house maybe I can hang with them. I also met this girl."
"Yeah maybe and what girl?"
"Her name is Alexis."
"What is she like?"
"She had long hair she mixed she had light brown eyes as she is pretty and funny."
"She sounds like great girl."
"She is she also lves not too far from us."
"Okay maybe you can see her too."
"I guess so."
"When you get in the house do homework if you got done. Then get in the shower and get dress for the part tonight."
"Okay is Jamie home?"
"He should be."
"Okay."
When I got home Jamie was walking around the house with towel around his waste. Water dripping down his 6pack.
"Hey sexy." I kissed him as he palmed my ass in his hands.
"You need to go shower and start getting ready."
"I know."
I went to get ready once I was done we left. We all wore all white Quadir had a little suite like Jamie's, while I had in a all white strapless dress. When we got there we seen Jamie's friends his cousin get kids and her boyfriend . I seen my aunt Monica and Marcus my aunts boyfriend everyone.
We had fun with everyone then it was time to reveal the gender to everyone.
"Everyone I'm so glad that you guys came out to support me. I always said that I would give my baby everything I didn't. I lived with a mindset to get money and grind. I want my baby to go to school and work hard . I'm about to be a mother very soon. I'm sharing my life with a man who loves me unconditionally. I've been down a couple of times but I've got up every time. I'm so blessed to have Quadir in my life. I look at him like my own son. I m blessed to still be living good. Knowing my baby is going to live great. But with no further or do let me pop this balloon. If pink stud fall out it s a girl if blue stuff falls out its a boy."
"1......2........3" Jamie counted down then "pow!" Pink stuff flew everywhere. Everyone started screaming they was happy I was having a baby girl. Just like was.
"Everyocan I have your attention for a second?" Asked Jamie. I turned in surprise.
"I love this woman to death. When I met her I knew she was for me. We clicked instantly. I love her for everything that she does. She rides for me all day everyday. She helps me out with raising my little brother. She is the mother of my daughter. She is the love of my life. No matter how hard I am I will always have a soft spot for this one right here." He looked at me . He reached in his pocket. He pulled out a small box. I started crying and screaming.
"Hope Renae Scott ! Will you marry me? Jamie got down on one knee then he opens the ring box. It was beautiful.
Yesssss! Yes!" I screamed.
After he put the ring on my finger we kissed then we hung around with the guests then we shut the party down. I had to get Quadir home for school tomorrow. Overall I felt like Jamie was opening up doors for me that I never thought of. I'm now engaged. I was so happy. Words couldn't describe how I felt.
Things only got better. November 1st my baby girl Ashanti Renae Carter was born 7 pounds and 3 ounces, with ha head full of hair. She was so precious.
Jamie was in love with her. He held her the whole time. He was attached to her already.
"What made you name her that?"asked Jamie
"I wanted her to have a name that we all gave her."
"Wow."
"Quadir gave her Ashanti, I gave her Renae and you gave her Cater."
"That's clever."
"I know."
"Go take Quadir home. He got school." I liked over to see Quadir sleep in the chair with his arms in his sleeves.
"Alright you good?"
"Yeah just come back tomorrow."
"Okay."
After Jamie and Quadir left I tired to get some sleep.
After two days I was released. I brought my precious heart home. Quadir was still in school so I had the house with Jamie and Ashanti. Then Jamie left to get Quadir when we was sleep.
"Oh My God!" Yelled Quadir as he woke me and the baby up.
"Quadir what is wrong with you?" I asked picking up Ashanti and walking over to him.
"Jamie always trying to be my dad."
"Quadir go to your room and do your homework and keep it down the baby is here."
Jamie walked in.
"Where Quadir?"
"I sent him to his room."
"He hanging with little boys who playing with weed."
"What?"
"Yeah when I pulled u they was joking around the I saw the boy pull out a dime bag."
"That's crazy."
"Let me get my baby." Jamie laid her on his chest. Then sat on the couch.
"Jamie not about follow in my footsteps."
"Just talk to him."
"Okay."
I put Ashanti asleep then I made dinner. We all sat at the table.
"Quadir did you do your homework?" I asked.
"I didn't have any."
"I'm pretty sure your lying. After dinner your going to come sit at this table and do it. I'll sit with you. If you try me I'll take that phone , game, and then new sneakers."
"Okay."
"Quadir you smoking?" Asked Jamie.
"No. Why you keep asking?"
"Who you talking to ? Quadir what's gotten into you. You wanna live like me?"
"Yeah and I wanna kill people and have all the money in the world. "Quadir got up from the table and walked off.
"Let me go talk to him." I suggested.
I walk upstairs into his room.
"Quadir what's wrong?"
"Jamie doesn't understand, I don't wanna live like him I wanna be better. My friends do those things I do my own things. I want him to see my dream for basketball, but he always thinks I'm gonna end up like him." Quadir explained.
"Look Jamie really loves you. He goes out of his way for you. He thinks of you like his own son. He was your age when he went down the wrong path so he is making sure you don't go down that same path. I want you to play ball and so does he. We believe in you. Your a great uncle to Ashanti too. "
"I know."
"Just do what your supposed to do."
"Okay. Basketball tryouts is tomorrow after school so I'll be after school for an extra 2 hours."
"Okay."
After dinner I did dishes then I went to sleep. For the next two weeks I had daily routine. I would take Quadir to school in the morning. When I can home I would be with Ashanti most of the day. Jamie would come home to be with Ashanti while I go get Quadir. Then I'll make dinner and make sure Ashanti is taken care of.
"Baeeeee!" Jamie smacked my as cheek as he kissed all over my neck.
"Yes."
"I'm taking Quadir to school and Ashanti is woke in her crib."
"Okay. Where you going?"
"I'm going to work on the club the grand opening is Saturday. I'm going to be there all day."
"Okay. So am I pick Quadir up?"
"I'll let you know."
"Okay."
"I love you baby."
"I love you too."
After Jamie left I got up to see my princess.
My baby girl looked at me as soon as I stood over her. She had her daddy's tiny nose she had my beautiful eyes too. She was all I ever wanted and more. It's a blessing. I picked her up and hugged her. Then I took her downstairs.
I fed her bathe her I played with her until she fell asleep then I got in the shower.
Once I was dress I went to watch tv. A knock came to the door. It was Chrissy.
"Hey boo." She gave me a hug then she sat down. She had Mulan with her.
"Hey."
"I seen your post on Facebook."
"Yup."
"I see the ring I see the family. I'm happy for you."
"Thanks. I'm just making sure I'm good."
"I wish I was in your shoes."
"I see you got your other half with you."
"Yeah her father hasn't been home in days so she been with me."
"Wassup with you and Mullah?"
"He fucking other bitches we supposed to be getting money together but he all over everywhere."
"Jamie be doing that shit too. He don't be fucking no other bitch he just be making business moves on his own not taking it up with and we suppose to be partners. Even with the kids he manages to be by my side often."
"So how much money you pulling?"
"I'm pulling hella money. I happy with that but sometimes I want my husband to be home with me, but he's always busy."
"So who's the little boy in the picture. Is that his son?"
"That's his little brother Quadir. He lives with us now."
"You a mommy for two?"
"Yeah. Quadir is help with Ashanti when I get busy. He feeds her her changes her he helps."
"That's good how old is he?"
"12."
"I love how you decorated the place."
"Thanks you."
Then another knock came to my door. I went to open it , I see my baby Monica.
"Heyyyyyyy!" She screamed loudly. We haven't seen each other since my gender reveal party.
"Heyyyy. Can you keep it done though the baby is sleep?"
"Oh, my bad. Where is she?"
"She's right here." Monica walked over to the car seat where she was and looked at her.
"She adorable."
"Thank you."
"Where's Quadir?"
"He's at school he comes homes home in a few. He got practice today."
"How about Jamie?"
"He's at the club."
"Yeah ain't the grand opening Saturday?"
"Yeah you going?"
"Hell yeah. Are you?"
"Of course I'm own half of the club."
"I'm scared of you."
"Shut up."
"Oh my bad for being rude. Hey I'm Monica." Monica reached her hand out to give Chrissy a handshake. After Chrissy excepted her handshake she said.
"Hi I'm Chrissy.".
"Chrissy are you coming to the grand opening?"
"Yeah sure I need a get away."
"Yup."
"So I'll go."
"I started see someone." Said Monica. Catching my attention quick.
"Who?"
"His name is Elijah."
"What's he like?"
"He tall, he light skin. He owns his own club. He in the game. He sweet and he is from Manhattan."
"He sounds nice. How did you meet him?"
"I was out at this club. Not knowing he was the owner when he approached me. He brought me a drink then we started talking and dancing. Then we exchanged numbers. Then we went out for a few times."
"When do I get to meet him?"
"I bring him with me to the grand opening."
"I can't wait."
"We been kicking it for like two months. I feel lucky."
"Well let me see if he is all you say."
"Okay mom." Monica joked.
"So how did you two meet?" Asked Chrissy.
"Who?" Monica asked.
"You and Hope."
"We went to the same high school."
"Y'all were friends?"
"We were classmates but we just started hanging out then we became close.
"Okay."
I had deep feeling Chrissy wasn't happy seeing me with someone else. When Chrissy broke her trust with me I swore I would never roll with her like used too. Monica was becoming my new best friend.
After a bit Chrissy left. I had to go get Quadir so left Ashanti with Monica.
"Hey babe, how was practice?"
"It was good."
"My first game is Saturday at 1 are you guys coming?"
"Yeah. Even Ashanti."
"Okay."
"Let hurry home I can order pizza and do laundry."
"Okay."
When I got home Monica left to go hang with Elijah. I made sure Ashanti was washed and fed. Then I made sure Quadir had his homework done and he was fed and off to bed. Then I did laundry. Then I went to sleep.
Ashanti was crying around 4 in the morning. I saw Jamie sleep so I tried to quiet her down fast before he woke up.
I was up with Ashanti until 6 in the morning. I made breakfast. I got Quadir's stuff together for practice. I got him up for school. I fed him then i took Ashanti with me as I dropped him off.
When I got back home Jamie was woke.
"Why you didn't wake me up ?I would of took Quadir to school or watched her." Jamie reached for Ashanti, then placed her on his chest.
"Bae I wanted to let you rest."
"You look tired I'm going to see my grandmother today so I'm going to take the baby to see her."
"Okay let me get her outfit out." I went upstairs.
Ashanti's closet was packed. She had so many clothes I didn't know what to put on her but I decided to put on her Nike outfit with her Nike socks.
After Jamie and Ashanti left I went straight out. I slept like a baby. I needed that badly. With the baby here I was always on the clock 24/7. Finally I got some rest.
"Bae!" Called Jamie.
"Yes baby?" I grabbed Ashanti from him.
"Did you figure out things for the wedding? Did you get a babysitter for the kids Saturday?"
"Yes my aunt is going to watch them."
"The wedding?"
"I'm still thinking."
"Okay. Well I picked up our outfits for the grand opening."
"Great. What is it that you need me to do?"
"I need you to show up. Then get prepared to make money."
"Okay."
"Come here." Jamie pulled me closer.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just trying to take care of everything. I have a baby now I got Quadir now. As far as the club I want to run things. You just need to give me some time. "
"Look don't stress yourself out about things. That's why I'm here. I want you to do things the way it's supposed to be done. You don't have to rush. Right now I want to put our focus not on the streets. But the club."
"Okay."
"Let me get some love."
My day went back to busy. I picked Quadir up from practice then I went to the super market. I got home I fed Ashanti and  then I put them both to bed. Then I had some free time with Jamie.
"I'm thinking we  can turn the club up by bring a huge party type of vibe at night. That would definitely would make people really wanna come."
"That's sound like a good idea."
"We gotta make sure we we got bottles , lights and a bomb ash."
"Well let's start look into having two Dj. One for huge events one for a daily job."
Okay."
Jamie and I worked together to finish things up for the club. Finally it was our big day. It was our grand opening.
When we pulled it was packed outside. I stepped out in a all white skin tight dress with my white red bottoms. Jamie had on a all white suite.
"Everyone I'm so excited to open the doors tonight. We worked hard on this club. We hope you guys enjoy your time with us.  I shared. Jamie stepped up to cut the ribbon.
"With no further or do welcome to Privacy!" Jamie opened the doors . The security guards stood aside. Everyone stood in line while they got checked before coming in.
The club lights was coming from every angle. The bass was loud a booming. Everyone looked great. I stood from up top looking down. Everyone was dancing And enjoying themselves.
"Hey Ms. Scott!" Said Monica as she gave me a hug.
"Hey baby, I'm so glad you came." I replied.
"Of course I had to come support my girl. I brought Elijah with me." I look to the side of her. There he stood. Elijah as tall he was great looking too. You could tell he was into business.
"Hi , I'm Hope. This is my fiancé Jamie, welcome to our club." I shook his hand. He shook Jamie's hand too.
"It's a great club." He complemented.
"Thank you. So you are dating my friend?"
"Yeah."
"You better treat her right."
"I will."
"Let me go check on downstairs I'll see you guys around enjoy yourselves." I walked away. Jamie was right behind me.
The club was open until 4 then we went home. Since the kids weren't home we had some adult time.
"Daddy! Daddy!" I screamed. Jamie went deeper and strokes faster.
"Take this dick!" Jamie smacked my ass.
"Uh Daddy! I'm about to cum!"
"Mmmm yeah."
"Uh shit! Fuck!"
The next morning Jamie and I got in the shower together. Jamie went to the club. I went to my aunts house.
"Heyyyyyy everyone. " I said as I walked in.
"Hey Quadir is with Marcus at the store. Ashanti is sleep." My aunt replied.
"How was they?"
"They were good. Quadir was with Marcus and Ashanti is no bother at all."
"That's good."
"How was the grand opening?"
"It was great. The place was packed. We made hella money. We made the best decision to have this club. It's going to bring good money."
"That's good."
"If I'm going to be the owner. I will need to find a nanny for the kids."
"For?"
"The kids. I need someone to watch Ashanti and pick. Quadir needs to be picked up after school and practice."
"Look my boyfriend lost his job. So money ain't been right lately. How about I watch the kids and you pay me 500 a month."
"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?"
"Look I thought I could get the money. Or he would find another job."
"I'll pay you $1000 a month and I'll try to get him a job at the club. The money isn't to watch the kids it's for you."
"Thanks, jus tell me when you need me to watch them."
"Okay."
When Quadir got back from the store I got Ashanti and we left. I got him then started making sure dinner.
"Bae what you doing tomorrow?" Asked Jamie as he walked in the kitchen.
"Well I'm taking Quadir to school then I'm taking Ashanti to my aunt in the morning then I'm going to meet with my friend who wants to throw a party." I turned around and looked at Jamie.
"What are you going to meet with her about?"
"She was at the grand opening , she has a brand of her own. She having a celebration for the release. She wants to have it at the club."
"How big is her guess list?"
"She says she has three-hundred and something."
"Okay so we can divide the club into sections."
"What you mean?"
"Well if she wants to invite all her people to party at the club we can divide the club in half. Or we can let her and her people come to the club she can promote the club and we can promote her brand at the party. Letting the people mix."
"So ask her if she wants the second or jus to let everyone mix?"
"Yeah. I got the price book and the party creator check list. Ask her from te list does she want any of the things on the list the things she do want check it off look a at the price sheet telling how much is everything give her the total to throw her party the if she excepts go piece by piece about the party."
"Okay."
"The club is still open for the public so I go check the staff and then I'll hit you if it's something else."
"Alright."
After dropping the kids off , I went to meet with my friend."
"Hello Ms. Scott!" Greeted Sarah. Sarah worked at Nia's shop she was interested in making her own make up line. She's having a party to promote her makeup collection.
"Hey Sarah." I sat down then pulled out the paper work and a pen.
"Look after the vibe from the grand opening I been looking for a dope space for my Makeup collection."
"Okay well we definitely have space."
"I want to invite my people. Each person that's invited has a plus one. I invited 300 people."
"Okay so your expecting about 600 people?"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
"I want the same Dj from the grand opening to do for my event."
"Okay I make that happen."
"I also want a small for me and my best friends it's like 4 of us."
"Okay."
"Did that cover everything?"
"Well our club can hold up to 3,000 people so we have more than enough space for your guests. With that be said we will have open bar for the outsider guest. Our club is open every night so it would mean more money for us. As for you it would be more people to grab towards your product."
"Okay great."
"When would you be doing this event?"
"November 20th."
"Okay."
"I told my guest to start showing up at 8."
"Okay great our club opens at 7."
"Perfect. Would you have the place ready by 8?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
"Here's your price sheet. Everything. With a check next to it is what you are being charged for. The prices for each of those things are next to it."
"You got everything I want."
"Okay so you know that everyone has to buy their own drinks."
"Yes I would like to buy 7 bottles too."
"Okay each bottle is 2 grand."
"Okay what's that plus my total?"
"Your total is $58,000"
"Alright do you except check?"
"Yes."
"Alright." Sarah pulled out a check book. She filled out the check then handed it to me. I took the check written for the exact amount.
"I guess I see you then?"
"Yes don't mess this up."
"I won't I got you."
I gathered my things then I drove over to the club.
When I walked in everyone was preparing for tonight's quest cleaning and making sure everything was done. I walked up stairs to the office. Jamie was behind the desk working on paper work.
"Hey bae." He said when I walked in.
"Hey."
"You okay?"
"Yes. I just came to bring you papers."
"Okay , did she pay?"
"Yes , the even is November 20th."
"Okay tomorrow I got street business to handle so I need you to run the club. Also have her meet you tomorrow here for drinks to sign the contract."
"What contract?"
"The contract that say that the deal is seal that she isn't going to sew us for money if anything happens at the event."
"Okay."
"The contracts is in the top draw up there."
"Okay."
"You okay?"
"Yeah."
"You look sexy today."
I walked over to lock the door. Then I walked over to the desk. I sat on his lap facing him.
"You like what I got on?" I asked before he can answer I pressed my lips against his.
"You got panties on?"
"No."
Jamie stood up and sat me on the bar counter. He moved the drinks over then sat me down. He unbuckled his pants and skin inside me.
"Uhh!" I moaned.
"This what you like right?"
"Yessss!"
"Mhmm!"
"Fuck me just like that daddy!"
After sex Jamie and I got ourselves together. Then went back to business. We worked in the office until night time when we brought the club alive.
We would let the. Come I and party and  spend money on sections and bottles. While we made sure it was enough liquor for everyone.
Jamie had street business to take care of so he left early.
The next morning I went to meet with Sarah at the club to sign contracts. After working with Sarah I called and made arrangements for the show to come for her event then I made things was ready for tonight. I made sure everyone knew what tonight was supposed to look like.
Then in walked in a guy. He wore gold chains around his neck. He had on Robin jeans he had on Jordan's too.
"Yes sir how may I help you? I asked as I walked up to him.
"Where is Jamie?"
"He isn't here right now. May I ask who's asking?" The guy pulled me closer to him then pulled out a gun from his left side.
"Look tell Jamie if he doesn't back off these streets I'm going to kill everyone. Starting with his daughter then his brother than you and his monkey ass last."
"Okay... okay."
"Now enjoy the rest of your day." The guy left out. I stood there in the middle of the dance floor. A treat fell down my face. The streets was about to take everything from me . Those words that came out his mouth kept repeating in my head as I drove home.
When I got home Jamie want there. I poured my self a drink and and I sat at the table and waited for Jamie to get home.
"Bae why you sitting in the dark like this?" Jamie asked as he turned on the lifts and walked past me.
"Jamie we gotta talk."
"About?"
"Some guy came to the club today looking for you."
"What's his name?"
"He didn't say."
"Okay what did he say?"
"He had a gun point at my stomach he said if you don't back off the streets , he would kill our daughter your brother me and you."
"What did he look like?"
"You got Niggas who know that much shit about you still walking this earth?"
"I can't go around killing everyone !"
"I ain't asking you to, I'm telling you to take out the ones who are against you and your family."
"I ain't losing my baby so you better do something."
Jamie went to the club. I went to sleep. When things are going great there is always something that kills the joy. It's clear to see that happiness isn't forever.
