A Black Girl's Journey

Loyalty

I grabbed my money and clothes and made my way off of the stage. I got down to the lockers and pulled out my Love sweat suit and nike slides.  I sat at my vanity and began to whipe off the make-up from my face. 10 minutes and 5 Cleenexs later and I was done. I changed into my sweats and sweater,  slid on some socks and then my slides. I stuffed all of my money, clothes and make-up into my bad before locking ny locker and heading up the stairs.

I stopped at the bar to grab a quick shot of Patron and made my way to the door. "Bye, Big Black.", I said to the bouncer at the door.

"Wait hold up. Boss wants to see you in his office right quick."

"Damn, what that nigga want?"

He shrugged and I walked back into the club and up to the VIP level that also held the manager's office. I got to his door that had a golden nameplate that read Loyalty. I knocked then walked in when I heard him call to enter. "Wassup Zae, what you need?"

He was at his desk counting money and separating it. "Keep callin me by my government and ima sock yo ass Sapphire."

I just rolled my eyes. "If all you wanted to do was yell at me, why the hell am I in here?"

"Lose the attitude and you'll find out." He looked at me. "Have a seat."

I rolled my eyes again, but sat at the couch across from his desk.

"Roll yo eyes again and you're gonna regret that shit.", he said in a menacing tone. "Now look, I need yo help."

"With?"

"Im gettin to that part..... I need to move some product and I need a place to store it for a couple of days. I was wonderin if I could keep it wit you and Shay."

I looked at him crazy. He wanted to stash drugs. In my house. Where I live. Nigga what? "Boy you either crazy or stupid? We can't store it at my house. Keep it at Paula's." Paula is his baby mama.

He gave me the same crazy ass look. "Hell naw, my daughter lay her head there and that's puttin her in danger."

"And what the fuck you think it do to me?", I yelled. We sat there for a minute, just staring before I lowered my eyes. "How long will it be there?"

He smiled.  "Three days, top."

"Alrite." I swear if this punk ass nigga hadn't done so much for me. I wanted to say no, but I couldn't.  To be honest I got too much live for Zae to tell him no. "You comin over tonight?"

He ran his tongue over his lips making me shiver.  "Yea, I'll be there around 2."

It was 12:45 now so I had a good hour to freshen up. I know yall have put 2 and 2 together by now.  No, Zae and I aren't together officially,  but we do be foolin around. Im not gonna lie, this nigga got my heart and he's one of very few niggas that I trust. I love Zae and we've talked about us being an "Us", but it's always somethin. And most of the time, it's not even him, it's me.

"Iight. Crystal just texted me. She gonna be out all night. You stayin the night?"

He nodded. "Come here Sapphire."

I got up and went around ti the back of his desk. He patted his lap and I sat on him. "You know I love yo ass right. When you gonna let me wife you up and be mine?"

I shrugged.

"Come on Jada. I don't want you doin this shit no more.  You're too damn smart, you're too damn beautiful and you have something going for yourself besides your body. Not that I dont love yo body because believe me baby that shit is perfect." He squeezed my butt and I jumped. He laughed and I hit his chest. He grabbed my hand and kissed my fingers. "I want you to be mine. I want you to stop strippin and stand on top of this shit wit me."

I looked at him. I loved Zae with all of my heart, but I was scared. Scared to let him in too far. Scared to let him get too close. Scared to have him leave me after he found out the truth. Scared for him to see the wounds I covered up and hid from him. I couldn't lose him. I needed him. "I don't know Zae."

"Just think about it.  Im the king of these streets and you know a king sint nothin without his queen. I need a Mrs. Loyalty and I think-no, I knew it's you."

"We'll talk about it when you get there.", I told him.

I stood and walked towards the door. I was halfway out when he called me. I turned and looked at him. "Yea?"

"When I get there, you better be naked and waiting in bed for me."

I bit my lip and winked at him. "Will do." Same old Loyalty, always a damn freak.
