Dream left home with August around 10:20, her shock had turned to anger. Why would he disrespect her like that? she had never even THOUGHT about being with anybody else and embarrassing Brandon. Regardless of all of the shit he put her through, she always stuck my his side, faithfully.
When she got to her mother's house she blew the horn to let her know she was outside with her grandson. Dream saw the porch light turned on and the front door open. She saw her mother come out the door, wearing a robe over her pajamas. Dream got out the car and opened the back to get August out his car seat and gave him to her mother to hold while she got his stuff from the other side of the seat.
"What's wrong with you hunny you can't speak?" Her mother commented, concerned.
Dream was snapped out of her thoughts.
"Oh nothing ma my bad, how you doin'?" She replied, trying to kill her mother's suspicions. This definitely wasn't the time to tell her what had happened with Brandon because she was definitely not in the mood for the "I told you so speech" she had heard a million and one times- plus she didn't have time.
They both went inside the house, Tabatha holding August and dream holding his overnight bag. When they got inside, Dream told her mother that she had to go so she wouldn't be late. She gave her son a hug and a kiss, telling him she loved him and that she would be back to get him in the morning. She kissed her mom on the cheek and thanked her for watching her won.Dream got to Magic City 5 minutes before 11. She came in through the entrance the dancers came in, to quickly get to the dressing to put on her boots.
'I don't know how in the hell ima walk around in these damn boots all night' Dream said to herself. She normally could do her shifts on heels with no problem, but tonight she had to deal with the constant pain of her foot that was wrapped carefully.
After she put her boots on, she took off the long peacoat jacket she had on over her outfit and did one final check in the mirror and applied some more pink lipgloss before making her way out to the floor.
"You on time tonight Dream!" Tasha greeted with a bright smile. She was wearing a blue sparkly bra that barely covered her boobs, some matching sparkly shorts that didn't cover her ass and heels that Dream couldn't even walk in. Regardless of what she was wearing or what her job was, Dream still had a lot of respect for her. The 25 year old hugged Dream and asked if she was alright.
"Yeah girl I'm alright, you?""Yeah I'm cool. You just seem a lil' bit uptight. You need a shot?" Tasha asked. Dream laughed even though Tasha was serious. Tasha was like another big sister to dream. She was tall, brown perfect skin, big lips, perfect teeth, with big boobs, and a big butt, with bright yellow hair that Patrick, the owner had requested she change constantly, considering she was the face of the club.
"Yeah I need something cause the day I done had girl." Dream started, but stopped, sighing.
"Another story for a another day huh?" Tasha added.
"You know how it go"
"Well come on let me serve you for a change Ms.Bartender" Dream laughed as they started to one of the bars. Tasha poured her a shot of Hennessy laced with Tequila and Dream took it to the head with no hesitation
"Oh shit!" Tasha laughed. "Don't get too crazy suh, that shit will put you on yo ass." Dream laughed and Tasha told her that she had to get back to the pole.
Around 1:30, the club was packed and customers where still coming in, the thoughts of Brandon's acts absent from her mind. Dream was constantly making drinks and giving them to table waiters to take to the customers, she had earned about $900 already and still had about 2 more hours to go.
"Yo Dream, dude over there want a bottle of Rose' and want you to deliver it personally." Jada, one of the waitresses, came up to the bar and shouted to her over the loud music- twerk by City Girls. Jada was one of the younger girls that worked in the club, 20 years old, only one year older than Dream. She had black short hair that was styled in a blunt cut, light creamy skin, and was about 5'4, 4 inches taller than Dream.
