7.

"She's fine. I swear." I said to Rhon on the phone. Between her, Tamar, and Bryan, I haven't put my phone down in days.

"Rhonda, I'm coming tonight and Tamar is gonna watch her. She'll be okay, the doctor said she's one of his best patients." I said assuring Rhon of Monroe's health. "Okay, see you later. Bye."

Finally.

I have to go back to work this afternoon so I'm trying not to be all on the phone. I'm trying to focus on Jet today until I have to leave because I don't want her to feel left out with all of my attention on Monroe.

"Jet Marie Braxton! Come here please." I shouted from the kitchen. She came in all confused seeing presents everywhere. "Wanna play a game?" I asked.

"You have 14 presents here and you have to open all of them. Some have money, some has clothes, one might have a new phone." I shrugged. She ran towards the table and almost started ripping the gift wrap off the presents.

I grabbed her hands, laughing at how eager so was. "Slow your roll, slow your roll. There's rules." I said making her groan. As if she still won't get all of the gifts.

"Rule #1, the first one you pick, you have to donate to charity." She gave me that 'Are you fucking serious?' look... so I gave her the 'Yes the fuck I am.' look back.

"Rule #2, you have to tell me about all the crazy stuff that happens in your life. You've kept to yourself lately but I want to hear everything."

"Really?" I could see her eyes light up, it's been awhile since they have gotten bright.

I nodded and gave her rule #3.

"Last rule, you have to promise me that no matter what, you always come to me with anything and everything. And bonus rule: you have remember that I'll always love you."

She gave me a hug and opened the first gift. "A Chanel purse?" She oohed as she drooled over it. "Mom, please let me keep this! Please, please, please!"  She begged. She wrapped her arms around me and continued begging.

"Fine, fine, but the next one, you are donating." She threw her hands up and agreed.

We spent the next hour opening the gifts and talking about her life and all her little friends, but it was time for me to go to work.

"Okay, Jet, I love you and always will." I said before kissing her all over her face. She waved to me as I left the house and backed out the driveway.

She got friends, bring three, I got drugs, I got drinks
Bend it over, Juicy J gon' poke it like wet paint
You say no to ratchet pussy, Juicy J can't
Racks errwhere, they showin' racks, I'm throwing racks
In the V.I.P, rubber on I'm stretching that
Rich niggas tippin', broke niggas lookin'
And it ain't a strip club if they ain't showin' pussy

I was shaking my ass for some random guy as he threw twenties at me. Tonight was one of the best nights in the club in awhile. I didn't know my return would bring so many people.

They literally blasted it out everywhere that I was coming back tonight and the second I got out on stage, everyone rushed to whichever pole I was at.

I climbed up the pole and slid back down upside down than flipped over into a split on the floor. Guys cheered for me as I bounced in the split.

I felt bad that my pole session was over and started walking around. "Hey, Toni, wanna come to the back with me?" Some guy shouted. I winked at him before walking into the back room with him.

We did some stuff, and when I left, there was literally a line of guys wanting to be in the back room with me. The first guy paid me $2,000, so with the next ten... I could make $20,000 plus my stage money. I debated my decision, then pulled the next guy in.

After my sixth guy, I saw Bryan walk in. Our eyes were stuck on each other and we connected from opposite sides of the club. Hurt. That's all I saw in his eyes even though the rest of his body was calm.

I quickly finished down the line and cut off the other guys after the tenth. I'd already made pass what I assumed and I couldn't stand being in the same area as Bryan and not physically be with him.

I walked up to him as he chugged down a beer. "Hey, handsome." I said taking a seat on his lap. Instead of saying hello back, he ignored my presence and asked for another beer. After watching him chug that one, I snapped my fingers in her face.

Not that I'm all that and a bag of chips, but I'm literally half dressed and sitting on his lap and he doesn't has the decency to say hello.

"Bryan. What's the matter?" I asked now all in his face. "Don't you got other niggas to entertain?" He spat. I was genuinely hurt by him saying that. He acts as if he didn't meet me here working.

I grabbed the beer bottle out his hand and dragged his ass to the back room. "What the fuck is your problem?" I yelled.

The music was loud enough for only him to hear me.

"You out here getting dick from other niggas. I thought we was gonna be something, but you still here slinging pussy."

I don't know if it was my hurt feelings or my ego, but I couldn't hold back my hand from flying across his face. I ended up beating up on him. What he said was way outta line and pass disrespectful.

He soon grabbed my arms and stopped me. He had scratches all over his face, but I couldn't care less. "You bastard! How dear say something like that!" I said after snatching my arms out of his grip.

"I thought you were different, but you're just like all the other pathetic ass bitch niggas that come here. You just want a bitch you can control, well just what? I ain't the kinda bitch. You want someone like that, go fuck one of the whores out there." I yelled.

I attempted to run out but he grabbed onto my waist before pulling me back into the room. I had tears running out my eyes like a leaky faucet.

I hate to admit I was so hurt by what he said, but he knows this isn't what I want for myself and that I has better and bigger dreams. So for him, of all people, to slut shame me like that... it hurt on another level.

"I'm sorry. Okay, hey, look at me." He said gently pulling my face up to his. I looked towards the side and tried to hide my hurt.

"You know you got me, shawty. I didn't mean, I was just hurt seeing all those niggas witchu. I know this is ya job for now and I'mma have to deal with it."

He pecked my lips and let me go. "I have to go to work. I'll see you." I said on my way out.
