One and Only

BEFORE THE CLUB

After finding outfits, that we had to model for each others approval, we finalized some last minute things and headed home.  It was already 6:45 and I seriously need a nap. I had been up since 4:30 and I  practically nodded off in the car while kamika drove us home. Yes, we live together also! We became fast friends in junior high and she always had my back when I needed it.  I would literally die for her and I know she'd do the same.  She wasn't a friend, she was my sister. 

We live in Malibu, in a very nice condo my father bought with his earnings from the businesses he owned.  I could afford to buy the place myself.  I do very well but I travel a bit for my business and settling into something huge and so permanent gave me anxiety. So, yes, it was beneficial to have a successful daddy, but don't get me wrong,  I pay the mortgage for it while I live here. My dad objected but on principle alone I insisted. I haven't relied on my parents in so long and being independent meant so much to me. So he gave in and let's me pay. Kamika handles all the bills that come with the house

So, we both go to our respected rooms and crash into a deep sleep to reenergize for tonight. Actually mine was more of a toss and turn but you get the idea.

ABEL

I was laying in bed hearing screaming and realize it's closer than I thought.

"Get up nigga!" Hawk was over me shaking my ass trying to fuck up a niggas sleep.

"What the fuck nigga! I ain't trying to look at your ass first thing!" I open one eye to survey the empty room.  Shit is scattered everywhere, sheets are thrown all over the room, empty bottles and trash strewn throughout. "Where's those bitches?" I ask Hawk.

"Man those dirty bitches are gone,  they were pushing up on us while you were sleeping. We toss those leeches out!" He tosses a pillow at my head,  "Get up nigga it's time to hit up that new joint. "

"Fuck out my room nigga!" Hawk throws up his hands in a surrendering motion and leaves the room.  I have to shake the sleepiness that is consuming me and drag myself outta bed. I look at my phone and check my notifications and respond to a few texts and get into the shower. I'm doing this shit as a favor to Cash who happens to know one of the owners of this new club. I just came off a three week tour and all the partying is catching up.  When I get out,  I start picking out something to wear for the night.  I settle on my go to all black jeans and t shirt. I slipped on my all black Jordans and a chain.  I finish off with a black leather jacket and head downstairs to get some Henny in me. Let's get this fucking night started.

Rachel

I wake up to see my phone blinking with 10 missed texts! Shit! It's 8:55, I've completely overslept, which means Kamika is knocked out still. I rush to her bedroom and frantically shake her awake. Get up bitch!

"What??? What??? Damn bitch!" She complains. 

"Bitch it's 9:00, we're fucking late, get up!" I yell in a panic as I run out of her room and into mine and right into a shower. I wash my long curly black hair and do a quick shave to freshen up and I'm outta there. My driver is coming right at 9:30, he'll be waiting. I wrap a towel around my body and hair and go into my walk in closet to get my outfit. I decided on a black sleeveless pin stripe dress, I was feeling gangsta.  I paired it with black red bottoms.  This outfit was fierce! I apply my make up with a smoky eye and light lip gloss.  I pull my waist length hair into a high ponytail and complete it with rose gold hoops. I must say, I'm killing it.  My body is squeezed in just right and I'm ready to go.

Kamika chose a baby blue bodycon dress with matching heels.

The weather was perfect considering it was July.  The night was warm, about 80 degrees.

I pick up my phone and finally respond to Jordan, who is in full on melt down mode by now.

Jordan: Rachel! Where are you?? The party is starting in an hour!

Me: Hey, sorry got up late, ready to go, on my way now, be a little late

Jordan:  Late??!!! Are you serious?? You're supposed to be here making sure there's no kinks in all this shit!"

Me: First of all... watch your tone talking to me, second of all I spent all day making sure things were ready, I'll be there in about 45 minutes!

This mother fucker needs to remember who's running shit.  I know he's nervous, it's his first big project but I've been doing this, I'm always ready for the unexpected. I give myself one final glance over and walk downstairs to find Kamika putting her gloss in her clutch.  "You look snatched bitch, absolutely beautiful."

"Same" She nods in my direction.  I never considered myself typically pretty, or at least I never focused on that part.  I'm 5'7", with plenty of tits and ass, long black curly hair and copper colored brown eyes, to match my olive skin tone. I've never had a problem getting men, my problem were the ones I chose to give my time to.  But I'm good to be on my own, relationships are overrated.

We get into the Escalade with help from my driver and we're off.  It's already 9:50! I shoot a text to Antonio, the owner that hired my consulting firm to help with this new club, Embers.

Me: On my way Tony,  Jordan is there for whatever you need.

Tony: Don't make me wait too long Rachel, I need your support

What he "needs" is another go around with me. It's the past he can't let go.  2 years ago, a different club and 6 months of raw energy between us.  As usual he proved my picking streak right and it only lasted a few months.  I made a point of remaining friends for business reasons but now he thinks it's going to rekindle, uuummmmm no. I leave him on read,  I'm not entertaining that tonight. 

"What's wrong Rocky " Kamika uses my long time nick name.

" Tony and his shit " I reply simply.

" No no, tonight has Abel's name on it!" She declares.  I laugh loudly, she always gets me in a good mood .

"Right now the only name I want to see is Patron!"

"Yyaaaassss lets get it popping!"

Yeah let's get this started, cause honestly I'm kind of ready for it to end already.
