Loveless

Chapter 11

     It was the day of Nikita and I's date. She was sending me a car and told me to dress extremely dressy. I had no idea where I was going but I could tell that it was expensive. Brian and Janessa were with me helping me out because I had no clue what to wear or how to even mentally prepare for this. "Girl how you done got you a sugar mommy when I never got to have a sugar daddy. It seems so opposite for us. Like I always saw you as the one who'd settle down and fall in love and me be hoeing around with old men   it seems you've beaten me to my own dream. Couldn't have told me it would happen I'd never believed it," he said doing my hair. "I mean I didn't see it my damn self. And for the last time, she's not my sugar mommy," I laughed. "She's just taking me out. No one ever said anything more was coming from it," I said. "But Kayla do you see the clothes that you're wearing? The type of event she's asking you to dress for. She gotta be trying to make you her sugar baby. She's getting you a car sis...a car! You got to call a spade a spade. She tryna spoil you," Janessa said swiping on Tinder. She was swiping left on everyone and clearly, Brian and I noticed. "Nessa.....how the fuck do you expect to find someone if you swipe left on everyone?" Brian said laughing. "I'm just bored. I'm trying to find some pussy, not a soulmate but I'm also not trying to have someone with a camel's face in my vagina. They can be as toxic as can be I'm literally only looking to fuck," she said rolling over on my bed. "That's crazy man,"  I said as my phone rang. It was Nikita.

      "Hello?" I picked up and I could hear soft music playing in the background. "Kayla? I'm outside. Are you ready?" She asked. "Yes I'm about to put on my shoes and I'll be right out," I said getting up. I hung up and got out of the chair. "Alright imma go. Please don't tear up my house or allow Royale to tear it up either," I said slipping on my shoes. "I am grown I think I can handle dog sitting my niece," Nessa said reaching out for Royale who was really big now. "Ok. Brian you finna leave?" I asked as he started fixing himself in the mirror. "Yea. Warren and his sister are supposed to be having this dinner thing for his family and I'm about to be late," he turned. "Ok see you later Nessa," we both said our goodbyes to her and left the house. There was an Escalade sitting in front of my house and I was shocked. "Ouuu gone get yo sugar mommy," Brian whispered in my ear before going to his own car. I walked to the car and the driver hurried out to open he door. "Good evening," he nodded at me and I could see Nikita already sitting in the back. "Hello Kayla," she smiled as the driver closed the door. "Hopefully your day was good," she smiled putting her hand on top of mine. "Um, it was ok. Besides the entire Jazmin incident. Everything was pretty much straight. How about you?" I said putting my hand on my leg and moving it from under hers. "It went pretty well. Seeing as I got something I've been eyeing for a while now," she said making me extremely uncomfortable.

     The rest of the ride was full of irrelevant small talk but she did sense me feeling out of my comfort zone. We got to the restaurant and it was extremely fancy. I was properly dressed but everyone else dripped wealth and I felt as if I blended in with the staff. "You look fine. Come on," she said grabbing my hand and led me inside. "Ms. Smith welcome back," the hostess said smiling. "Hello Iman how is your night going?" She said and I felt out of the conversation. "It's going really well. I see your reservation right here. Follow me and I'll take you to your table," Iman said and someone came to take her place as we walked away from the stand. She set the menus down and poured us water before dismissing herself. "So this seems to out of your usual scene," she said opening her menu as I did the same. "Pretty much. I feel like one meal off of here is probably half of my rent," I said truthfully. "Well, you can get whatever you want. This is my date so I'll pay for it," she said and once I turned to the entrees I knew that I couldn't let her do that. "I wont take no for an answer. I know where you work and can find a way to get the money back to you," she said smirking at me. "Fine. But this is the last time...next time we can split it," I said and she smiled and didn't respond.
