For The Love of Money

Xavier loosened his tie as he walked to his bmw. He decided to give the Porsche a break for today. He had just had a long day at work and was more than ready to wind down. They were trying to figure out how to help this company sale their toys and it wasn't working. The toys wasn't worth shit and he already knew the kids weren't going to play with them. "I'm about to head to the bar." Jonathan said coming out of the building behind him. Xavier chuckled as he opened the door to his car and put his briefcase in the passenger seat. "Shit. I'm tryna see some ass bro. It's Friday and we ain't gotta see this shit hole for a whole weekend." His homeboy Darius said walking up to them. "Man you work in the mailroom. How is that stressful?" Jonathan asked laughing. "Fuck you with your top dollar suits and your top dollar shoes." Darius said unbuttoning his uniform shirt. "I'm down man. I ain't got shit else to do and I'm pretty sure Fatima is laid up with her nigga." Xavier said moving his stuff out of the way so that Darius could get in. "Man when you gonna get over that girl? She fine but she ain't all that. Now Faith? That's a bad bitch." Darius said getting in the passenger side. "Nigga first off, they look alike. Fucking identical at that." Xavier said getting in the car and cranking it up. "Nigga where we going?" Xavier asked pulling out of the parking lot. "Let's go to Stilleto." Darius said lighting an already rolled blunt. He had it in his jacket pocket. "Boy you always smoking. That's why your ass can't get out the mailroom. I done told you." Xavier said as he drove towards the strip club. "No. I can't get out the mailroom because I ain't got no fancy degree like you. I ain't go to college and then get a high paying ass job right after. Nigga!! we riding in a bmw!" Darius inhaled the weed and blew out smoke. "You could have went to college. You can still go to college man. It's never too late." They pulled into the full parking lot and found a space to park. "Man. Here you go with that college speech. I'll go when I'm ready. Until then imma talk my shit from the mailroom." Darius said as they walked inside the pink doors, stopping to let security search them. "Look there go my girl." Darius said as Faith was just getting off of the stage. Xavier shook his head and kept walking to find a table in the back while Darius sat around the stage ready to throw that paycheck out. Knowing big Gladys was gonna whoop his ass if he came home short on the rent again. Xavier looked around when he saw Zyier walk in. So this is what this nigga do? Hang out in the strip club when he got a good woman at home? Xavier shook his head and sat back as some light skinned blonde came over for a table dance. 'Oh what the hell.' He thought as she dropped into a split in front of him. He was enjoying the show she was putting on when he looked up and saw Zyier all up on a girl that looked like Fatima, but wasn't. That's because it was Faith. Looked like he was whispering in her ear and nibbling on her neck.  Xavier sat up and looked harder to make sure that he was seeing the situation right. Zyier was on Faith like he was her man. Getting up, Xavier walked over to Darius. "Aye I'm finna catch out." He said tapping his boy on his shoulder. "All this ass everywhere and you finna go? I knew you was gay. I'll catch a ride." Darius said as he slid a 5 dollar bill into one girl's thong. "That's why big Gladys gonna beat yo ass." Xavier said leaving the club. He didn't know what Faith and Zyier had going on but he shole ain't want no part of it.
