The Mafia Queen

Chapter 3

You know having sweet and interesting dreams seems to be rare, but this night/ morning I had the best dream ever. I dreamt that I was practically swimming in chocolate, I was rich, had everything at my fingertip, enjoying luxury with my loved ones. Then suddenly, my bedroom door was slammed open making me to snap out of my dream world. Lexi came barging into my room with her Bluetooth MP player with 'happy birthday' by Jovanie.

‘Happy birthday to ya bitch!!!!’ she shouted ‘ Long life and prosperity, more boys to your boyfriend, crush and fuck buddy list, more money to the bank account in good health’

‘Thanks girl, do you have to wake me up just to wish me happy birthday’

‘Yope, wanted to be the first’

‘Well, in case you forgot,you are always the first to see me in morning, then why bother, and don’t say I could have gotten a call from Ethan, Jay or parent because you know that whenever it is my birthday I don’t turn on my phone until I had breakfast’

‘Iono, just felt like doing it’ she said shrugging
I just rolled my eyes as I tried to get off my bed

‘So birthday girl, why don’t you hop into the shower, get dressed while I make ya breakfast, ohk?’

‘ fine, but forget to add six cubes nt four to the coffee’

‘I wouldn’t dare, don’t want to see you go gaga on my ass for not adding enough sugar in your coffee, like the last’

‘You know you can stop having to make me breakfast like it is your duty’ I said

‘Well you see lady, when I make a deal with someone who saved my shit twice, I don’t back out’ she said

‘Ok I guess, suit yourself,but c’mon you need rest, you come home by two am and wake up by six am just to make me breakfast and knowing you, you don’t sleep back even when I have left for work, so just quit it’ I said trying to reason with her

‘Stop worrying bout it, you sound like my grandma when she was worried that I was going to fall sick if I don’t eat. So I advice you to go into that bathroom and prep up, I will be cooking breakfast’ she said has she left my room.

I hummed to myself has I entered the bath room.

I know a lot of you would be wondering how I saved her,well you see during high school, Lexi kinda mixed with the wrong set of people who were involved in drugs and all that stuffs, at a particular period of time she was meant to deliver some of the stuff to one of their dealers but it ended being stolen on her way there, she ended up not being able to pay for the lost, her parent had to pay for it  and prom was around the corner then and her parent refused to pay for her dress and other things she needed cos of the stunt she pulled so l had to pay for her dress ‘cos I didn’t want to see my best friend unhappy and she happens to have her crush has her date, and I didn’t want her to cut it off.

The second time was when I had to cover up for her at her shift at the grocery store for one week, at that time I was not yet working full time at the café yet, it happened because at the strip club where she worked at night during that period was when they have rush period  cos it was thanksgiving, with people tripping in she had to work extra time, so I had to go in to work for Herby temporarily dying my hair her color, wearing contacts and heavy make up just to look like her.
Since then we made a spit filled handshake deal that she would be making breakfast for us (stupidright). At first, I didn’t take it serious but it just continued till now.

I quickly did my morning hygiene routine, went to my closet and grabbed a black sleeved crop top with black sweatpants  paired with a black combat boot,
