Finding a Thug ..

Chapter 23

Jay POV
We're finally on the way got the nail salon cause I do need my nails and feet done . " Mwommy can me have me phone back ? I boring " I debated on giving her the phone back but I did give it to her since she ate her food like a big girl and did what she was told . I reached into my purse and handed her the phone and headphones and she instantly plugged them into her ears and resumed her video on YouTube she aaa watching from earlier .  I'm picked at my nails debating on if I wanted acrylic or my real nails just polished . " babe should I get acrylic or keep my real nails ?" King looked at my nails and grabbed my hand . " ya real nails long ma but if you want em done just get them at jelly shit you always use " i bursted out laughing and king looked at me confused trying to see what was so funny . " bae you mean GEL polish ?" King looked at me waving me off " yeah you know what I'm talking bout ." My phone began to ring and I picked it up outta my purse . It was my boss from the club I stripped at . " yeah Omari " I answered the phone . " Aye Jewel when you coming back to the club baby ? " he asked " "uhhhh lemme get back to you on that Omari ." He told me to let him know what I'd decide and I told him I would by tonight . He only calls his employees by their real name when we speaking business . " Who was that ?" King asked turning his head as he approached the red stoplight . " it was the boss Omari from the club I worked at , you know before all this happened?" King nodded his head and quickly focused on the road while looking at me making sure to keep a check on the stop light also . " yeah what he want ? " and I explained to king how he wanted to see if I'd come back or not to the club . " Yeah fuck allat , tell that nigga tonight you quit." King said straightforward and blunt . I looked at him like he had 2 heads . " how can I quit when I now have 3 kids to care for , an apartment to pay for and my cars ? King this shit ain't cheap ." He stepped on the gas as the light turned green and we headed to the highway . " Jewel you pregnant with my other 2 kids . Then you still got school . That stripping shit gotta go ma . Ariane need you home more and plus that's where you need to be anyways . I got money , I'll take care of y'all . & you moving out that apartment  , y'all can stay in my crib with me . I already got a room set up for babygirl anyways . Keep that money ya dad had for y'all left in the bank . You fucking wit me now , ima make sure y'all straight fasho ma ." I sighed knowing he was right . I'd be going to school the next two days ending the week ( Thursday and Friday ) and leave out Friday afternoon for the week since King has to do business . I've already missed 2 weeks cause of the incident at school and me hurting and finding out Im pregnant with twins . It's perfect timing plus we'll be out for break a week at school so Ari nor me will miss school . I nodded my head processing what king what saying and didn't want to harm the babies so he's right . " okay baby, I'll do that ." I kissed his cheek and was ready to finish out these last few months of school so we could graduate and move and start our life . I needed to work hard to be caught up and still do the work I'm assigned daily . My brain began to hurt just thinking about it . " We got this baby, don't worry ma ." I'd still go to college and make sure Ari goes to school too;  I just need a fresh start .

King POV
" Baby you ok ?" I constantly asked Jay while driving . I kept an eye out on babygirl too . She just occupied with her phone and then videos so she good . Ima ask her bout how she feel moving in with me , her opinion matter to me too . 15 minutes later we pulled up to the nail salon / spa . I parked the car and got babygirl out . She handed jay her phone and smiled excitedly ready to go inside . I helped jay out then locked up the car and we headed inside .  " hey there Miss Ari ! " the nice lady behind the desk greeted Ari . " hi Miss Mona ! " Ari greeted back to her . " Mani and Pedi today ma'am ? " the lady Miss Mona asked Ari . Ari shook her head happily and went to sit in her her chair . jay laughed at Ari and shaking her head . " that girl holds a conversation like a grown woman." Jay told me how every time she comes to see Miss Mona for her nails and she always sits in her chair on the end . I smiled seeing how happy she was . Then Ari seen her regular too I'm assuming cause another lady came from the back  . " & who's this handsome man ?" The lady asked jay and she blushed . She told the woman I was her boyfriend and then she seated right beside Ariane . They began working on their nails and toes and soon they were finished . Glossy-like pink polish shined on their nails and toes and they looked real nice too . I paid and tipped the ladies who'd done their nails and escorted them out the salon and we headed to the car . Next stop , the mall .
