"Get out the mirror ugly" Donavon laughed as he playfully pushed tasha to the left of him. "Oh you're definitely hating" she laughed as she got back in her spot while looking at her nappy hair that was in its natural curly state. She wanted to get her hair done, but it was almost time for the rent to be due and she knew they barely even had enough for that. If it wasn't for the very helpful government assistance they received every month giving them S.N.A.P/ Foodstamps, they wouldn't even have enough for food every day.

They weren't living in the best condition, considering that they were living off welfare, in a low income 2 bedroom house but they had each other, and for that both of them would forever be thankful.

The two struggled on a daily, which was weird since they both had younger siblings that were well taken care of, but no matter of the favoritism that took place on both sides of their families, they loved their siblings dearly. Both of their younger sisters who were both 16, came to visit weekly. They were the only ones who knew about the condition they lived in, besides Tasha's aunt Kendra who was more like a sister since they were around the same age.

When Donovan got put out by his mothers boyfriend three years ago, at only 14 years old, he told himself that he would never go back, and make sure he never asked them for nothing, and so far he's kept up with his end of the bargain. And as for Tasha, her parents put her out once they found out she was sneaking Donovan in every night so he could have a place to stay, him staying there ended up to them having sex, and with all of the things that come with sex, she ended up pregnant, but not long after she ended up having a miscarriage with no one there to comfort her but Donovan.

"Bossman tryna give me a promotion" Donovan lowly spoke to Tasha watching as she quickly and furiously whipped around to face him. She didn't understand much about the drug game that Donovan was in, but she knew exactly what a "promotion" meant, and she wasnt willing to take that chance of losing him.

"So... he wants you to go out every day, killing and robbing niggas, stealing and fucking beating niggas unconscious every day? Naa D" she shook her head as she intended to end the whole conversation. "Mane why you tripping? Aint you tired of living like this!? Im doing this for you Tash, I want to get you out the hood. I want you to walk around in Gucci, balenciaga, Louis!" He went off causing her to turn back with raised eyebrows

"You think I care about any of that materialistic shit? I love you for you! Not for what you can bring to the table for me. I dont give a fuck about that money, we dont never have to see another penny again if it protects you!" She was now on the edge of cryin "every day when you walk out that door, I fear of when you gonna come back, or if you're even going to come back! When you be gone all times of night I think what happened to you, I wonder if you'd gotten arrested or killed! You taking this step is dangerous Donovan! You dont need money to make me happy, just your presence alone satisfies me" she looked up at him letting him know that each word that left her mouth was a hundred percent sincere.

He looked down at his ringing phone, seeing that it was his little sister he quickly answered. "Hello" she spoke into the phone. His heart flittered at the sound of his little sister, Destinys voice. He loved his sister dearly, and he'd die for her if he had to. "Hey bruhbruh" she cheesed into the phone. 'Bruhbruh' was the name she'd given him when she was just two years old, and since then its just stuck with her.

"Wassup Des? You good" he rushed his words as he became worried. "Yeah im fine, I was just seeing what you doing" she half lied. The truth was, she was worried sick about her brother. Her brother was her rock, her protector, her savior and her everything, and each time he stepped into those streets, she prayed until he stepped back in the house. "Nothing was just talking to Tash bighead self, what you doing?" He returned the question with a smile. "Nothing laying down, im still coming over tomorrow rightt?" She asked making him mentally curse himself out "yeah of course" he told her, but honestly he forgot all about it being Thursday.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later bruhbruh. I love you" "I love you too, forever and always til death do us part" "through life and death, for eternity" she finished before blowing a kiss through the phone and hanging up.

"What the fuck" his head shot up as banging came from the front door. Tasha giggled as she had a feeling she already knew who it was.

"La'niah? Why you always banging on our damn door like you the police. I almost smoked yo goof ass" she heard Donovan yell from the living room. "Boy shut yo lil ass up you wasnt gone do shit" she laughed as she pushed past her soon to be nephew, at least thats what she hoped.

She loved them together since the day it happened, because she knew with Donovan it was legit, and though she was only two years older than Tasha, she still wanted what was best for her.

"Where my niece?" She said as she started searching through the house. "First of all, nobody said come in baldhead. But she in the bathroom" he joked as he pointed to the bathroom door that as if in que popped open. She stuck up her middle finger as she walked towards her niece with a cheesy smirk on her face.

"I got a proposal" La'Niah whispered as she looked back at Donovan. She hated to have to throw this option on the table, but it was the only option to helping her niece out, especially since she wasn't financially able to do it herself.

"What? Why you whispering?" Tasha whispered back as she pulled her in the bathroom closing the door.

"Look, Ana job is looking, and before you answer no just hear me out" Tasha rose her eyebrow as she heard her aunt say her job. "You wont have to dance if you dont want, you can work at the bar. But you need this Tash, you really need this" Niah pleaded. If Tasha didnt want, of course her aunt was fine with that, but her cousins' boss told her they needed one more dancer, and of course she went to see if her niece wanted to do it before asking any one else.

Tasha had a part time job as a house keeper at the Downtown Marriott, but her hours weren't good, so neither was her check. She couldn't work as often as she wanted because of school.

"When would I start?" She nibbled on her bottom lip as she thought about it. "Tomorrow night at Sunset Strip. I'll call you" La'Niah smiled.

"Wait!" Tasha stopped her. "Dont tell Donovan, he will go crazy if he find out im a stripper!" She whispered, but little did either of them know, their whispering was a little louder than they thought.

With one thought left, Tasha mentally slapped herself.

"Im not even legal" she chuckled as they opened the door. Tashas eyes nearly popped out of her head as Donovan looked up at her while he sat against the wall... right next to the bathroom.
