Sex and The White Kingpin

I sat in the dinner seat waiting on Teegan to get back from the restroom. I was surprised she'd actually came along.

I knew how flashy I could be so when I had decided to switch cars at the last second. She'd mentioned that having an Aston Martin drew a lot of attention. I still wasnt gonna give up my baby, Ioved that fuckibg car. I felt like James Bond in that shit.

Watching her walk towards me, her hair up in a bun, no makeup on, Teegan was easily the most beautiful woman I'd seen in a long time.

"You were gone a while," I said when she sat down. "So I order regular pepperoni for you and margarita for me. Pops got the best pizza in Charlotte."

"I still cant believe I didnt know about this place," she pulled on her hoodie strings looking around.

"Yeah, LJ made me work here after school, when my parents kicked me out."

She nodded. "Stand up guy, huh?"

"Who, LJ?"

"Yeah," she shrugged.

"He molded me into who I am today. I owe him more than I can repay."

"He made you...a businessman."

I took a deep breath. I'd chosen this life. What most people didnt know was LJ had offered me college and a life away from drug dealing. I chose the latter and had never looked back or regretted the decision.

"I like my life," I said simply. "No one made me do anything just like no one made you become a stripper."

She nodded. "Stripping was just a way to make a way. I'm planning on becoming a nurse."

She was smart and beautiful. That was the type of girl I could get use to; I could hold a conversation with. It wouldn't be about what I could buy for her.

"Why nursing?"

"My mom." She stopped talking as our food approached the table.

"So you planning to stop dancing when?"

My pizza almost burned my mouth as I bit i to it. The taste buzzed on my tongue and I awaited her answer.

"When you stop drug dealing."

"To motherfucking-che," I watched her roll her eyes and eat her own food.

I walked her to her dorm room an hour later. I held her hand until we got to the door. That was new for me and surprisingly, we hadnt argued the rest of the dinner. Teegan had a smart ass mouth and she wasnt afraid to use it.

"Well I guess this is good night?"

I wasnt trying to look desperate. We both knew what I wanted.

"Yeah I guess so."

I leaned down over her smaller frame and brushed stray hair out of her face. Her full lips waiting to be kissed. I placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Well goodnight big head," I stepped back and registered her face.

"Who the fuck you calling bighead?"

I laughed. "Night Tee..."

I watched as she grabbed my hand and pulled me up to her dorm room.
