Sage

Chapter Twenty Three

Laugh Now Cry Later by Drake featuring Lil Durk boomed throughout the filled-up club.

Junior was nursing a blunt in a VIP section on his own. JP, Marcus, and Trae were all over the place.

He bobbed his head to the beat with low eyes.

"Should I call Sage over? Wait, she too young," JP laughed as he joined his partner.

"Man, shut up," Junior managed to say.

He couldn't deny that he'd rather be with his girlfriend instead of joining his crew as they celebrated another successful job carried out earlier in the day.

"You're outchea moping. A nigga pussy whipped," JP commented before he took a chug from a Hennessy bottle in his hand.

Junior chuckled and passed the joint over to JP, "Only because you're my bro, imma let that slide," he said giving him a side-eye.

"And never forget that," JP heralded.

"Yo," Marcus staggered up the steps from the main floor of the club. He was the hothead in the circle, always ready to shoot with a temper nobody wished to witness, "Shit is packed," he plopped down on a single sofa across Junior.

His ombre medium-length locks, that complimented his dark skin were loosely tied up on his head, revealing his pointy ears. He had small brown eyes with high cheeks and small lighter lips.

Trae shortly followed but with a huge grin on his face, "I come bearing gifts," he announced before sitting down near JP.

He was the lightest, with short brown curls on his head. His eyes were light green, with pink lips and a strong jawline.

All four were dressed in black, it was their daily colour of choice.

Three barely dressed girls walked into their area.

"Oh shit," Marcus belted out.

A light-skinned girl with a big bottom and chest to match went to an excited JP. She sat down on his lap and flipped her lengthy gold-coloured weave behind her. Dressed in a skin-tight neon pink mini skirt and bandeau top in the same colour, JP's hands roamed on her bare skin.

The song changed to WAP by Cardi B featuring Megan Thee Stallion and all the girls immediately twerked as though they were part of a routine that was practiced beforehand.

"Now the party is about to start," Marcus stated as another light-skinned girl gave him a lap dance. She was in a short black sheer dress revealing the bodysuit underneath.

Junior grabbed his bottle of Remy Martin and raised it to his mouth. He kept his eyes on the chocolate beauty that walked towards him. He placed the alcohol down and got comfortable in his seat.

The girl with long straight hair pranced to him, dressed in a red short dress that had an opening by her flat stomach. The top part did nothing to cover the boobs that looked like they were ready to slip out.

She locked eyes with Junior after his went down then up her body. When she was close enough, she ran one hand across his chest as she rounded him.

"Hey daddy," she purred in his ear from behind.

...

Sage looked at Trisha's name across the screen as her phone rang. With a sigh, she silenced the ring tone and turned it over.

She was seated on her bed, doing homework even though she had the weekend ahead. Staring at the half-filled page, she threw the pen down giving up on the review she had started on a book that was read in English class.
