Chapter 24Ashanti
a few days went by and it's my birthday along with twin's too, I don't know what I will do on my birthday but I've been working for a few days so I think I would take a break and call off on my birthday because no one wants to work on their birthday. Marquez has to work but I will be chilling with twin, and Latrice, Rico text me "Aye sis, it's our b day, It's time to turn up, what you doing today?" I look at his text message then laugh, I text back "Call off of work and turn up with y'all tonight" I send the message I have some money saved up from when I was working at the club so I mine as well go shopping for myself, Kennontae, and Marquez shoot I need a few things. I drive to the mall since I can everything there So I think about what to get Marquez, and Kennontae in the mall because my boys need something, maybe I can buy them shoes and jerseys. I make it to the mall in Trenton, cars are everywhere in the parking lot, damn I can't find a parking space if all these cars are taking all of the parking spaces, Oh nevermind, I find a parking space close to the door of Macy's, I park in the parking space so I grab my purse, and take the key out of the ignition, I put my keys in my purse then I get out my car. I walk to the mall door, a guy open the door for me, he look at me then I said "Thank you" I see his friend look at me while I walk away, I'm walking through Macy's trying to get out to see the rest of the mall, when I make it to the rest of the mall, I see the food court at the top floor mmmmm I'm so hungry for some Taco Bell or Panda Express but I want to go to Champ Sports to get my Kennontae, and my Marquez shoes and a jersey first before I eat. I walk in to Champs Sports, a pretty guy in a referee shirt says "Hello, and welcome to Champs Sports, if you need anything, holla at me" he smiles at me. He looks like he can be at least eighteen or nineteen, he can be my little brother but he looks cute though. I look at the shoes in the kids section then I see some Air Max Jordans that looks cute for my baby, I ask the man "Can I get these in a size 5 please?" I smile at him. I look at the rest of the shoes until the guy brought me the shoes in size 5, I said "Thank you, and can I get the Kentucky Blue LeBrons shoes in size 10 please, Thanks, I'll be at the check out desk" I tell him, a few minutes later, he bring me the shoes, I get my debit card out of my wallet, I slide it, and sign the electronic receipt then I get out of Champs, he says "Thank you for shopping at Champs Sports" he smile at me, I smile back at him then I walk out of Champs Sports. I hope they like their shoes that I bought them, and I hope I have the right size for them, if not then I'll bring them back.
I go in Foot Locker to buy two jerseys for Kennontae, and Marquez, I walk out of Foot Locker to walk to my car so I don't have to carry of these bags, I get to my car, open the trunk then put my bags in the trunk. I go back in the mall to get something to eat at the food court, I walk to the food court but I stop in Victoria's Secret store for bra and panties, I bought two pairs of bras, panties, and a sexy corset, I also went in to Forever 21, I bought two shirts, three skirts, two shorts, and three pants. After my day off shopping, I eat in the food court to enjoy me a chicken quesadilla at Taco Bell, I get my chicken quesadilla, my cool ranch Doritos taco, and my lemonade. I sit down to eat until my Jimmie told me that mom isn't feeling good, so I walk out of the mall with my bags in the hands, I power walk to my car so I can see Mommy. I put my bags in the trunk, I get in the car, put the key in my ignition, I drive off out of the mall parking lot to drive to Mommy's house, I hope she is okay and she isn't hurt, 45 minutes later, I make it to Mommy's house with Rico just making it there, Latrice isn't with him but I am worried that Mommy isn't feeling well. "Did you get the same message that I got about Mommy being sick?" "Yeah, that's what they told me too, I hope Mommy doesn't have a virus" Rico says walking with me up the stairs about to try to open the door, when I open the door, I walk in then Rico walk right behind me, everyone screams "Happy birthday" Rico and I smile at everyone jumping out to surprise us.
We are having fun at Mommy's house just the family, and Latrice who is also family, Mommy wasn't sick but they did a surprise party for us which I love how they plan this without telling us but this party is bumping with the music on, we are dancing, and singing to the song. I whisper in Marquez's ear "I went to the mall and bought you and little man something at the mall earlier" I told him, "I have something for you too baby for your birthday" he whispers back in my ear. I love him so much that I don't want to leave him, he love me for who I am not for pussy, not to use me as a trophy, not to play me, and he don't abuse me so this is my relationship that changed my life because before, I wanted to just dance on the pole just get to money, to hook up with a baller to use him for his money, but now that I quit the pole life, my life is different now, I work at a restaurant as a hostess with my fiancee, I have a child with him, I have a different vision than I was back when I was on the pole. The life back then when I was on the pole was just trying to get a man, trap him with a baby, or let dudes hit this and make them come back to the strip club for more but now, my life is different with me having goals, like providing for my son, staying faithful to my fiancee, become a Assistant manager in my fiancee's restaurant, keep Kennontae happy, so yeah the saying, you can't turn a hoe into a housewife is a damn lie, take it from me because I use to be a stripper, now look at where I am, working in a restaurant, having a family, and leaving my old life back.
