The Stripper Chronicles 2: Indiscretions (Excerpt )

Chapter 7

"You want this?" I asked him. He bow down to me and replied, " Yes..." I stood over him. Relic looked up at me and said, " So you are my Mistress now...." I wanted to say something but that damn ringing.
I groggily answered my phone.
"You have a call from..."
"Yo, Con, it's Troy..."
"An inmate in a Correctional Faculty...to accept this call press one..."
I pressed one and said hello
"Sister, what's up?" greeted Troy. Here we go..
"Same old what's up with you?" I asked.
"Congratulations....how is Brother-in-law? Connie,I need some money on my book" he continued. "How much you need?" I asked.
"Four hundred dollars." He answered
.
"What the fuck!" I exclaimed. " I owe a couple of people...." He explained.
"I know you not gambling!" I exclaimed.
"Come on, Sis, a Nigga got to survive in this place. Ma and Dad refuse to give me money.." He explained.
"And they have a right. Why you got to always be part of the element, Troy?" I asked. "You find the same type of people and roll with them and these the people be the first to throw you under the bus. Man, get your life together."
"Connie, everyone ain't as smart you or what to go to college..." Troy explained agitated. "There's other ways of becoming successful."
"Ma and Dad busted their asses for the both of us. I have friends that never grew up in the house with a father but they made it." I always thought Troy could do better but I guess it's the company you keep.
"Well, as soon as I get out of this joint a friend and I are going in a joint venture. He know this DJ. A DJ Relic..." Troy stated. I didn't hear anything but DJ Relic. Is it my Relic? I heard about a club and that he was in the midst of making a sale.
"When I get out that is my plan...to run this club." Troy said with all the hope in the world.
I agreed to put money on his book. I made plans to find out about DJ Relic too.
" These dresses are ugly..." complained Misha. I had to pick out the style and color of my bridesmaids dresses. So my girls Misha, Erica, Janice with the exception of Regina (who is always late) met me at Joseline's Boutique.
"That is an ugly yellow..." replied Janice. Erica picked out a baby blue number with a dip in the back and tight fitted skirt.
The girls agreed. "So, you going to invite Holly or Python to escort you?" Janice joked with Erica. Erica told Janice to shut up.
Regina came through the door with an excuse.
" I had to do some tutoring." She replied.
"You decided on a date?" asked Janice. I told her the middle of next month or maybe in September. "It will give me time to get things in order?" I answered. "Well, Girl...What Jason's been doing?" asked Regina. I told them that he's been busy working and going to meetings out of town. "Something is up, Girl, ain't nobody going out of town as much as he is." replied Misha.
Tonight Jason was home and I decided to have our talk. He was on his laptop as usual.
"Jase, I need to know the names of your best man and groomsmen." I stated to him.
"I will write them down for you." He replied face not leaving the screen.
"You should sale your apartment, too" he suggested. "I got us a timeshare in Myrtle Beach..." A Timeshare?
" What about children?" I asked. "Sure, Babe we can adopt..." he answered.
"Adopt?" I asked. "What do you mean adopt?"
"Connie, I have no interest in being a father. My dad was never around so...I don't feel the need to have children."
I was taken aback by his revelations. Truth be told we never discuss having children.
I was on birth control.
Thursday came my meeting with the Ericsson's. Leigh day at the conference table along with Kevin. Along with their son, Joshua. Joshua had owned a small consulting firm.
" Connie, the business is booming and it's because of you. That's why Leigh and I are giving you our share of the business." Joshua and Leigh gave me a hug. "Joshua, is your joint partner and you can changed the name or get rid of whoever you want." I have five good agents and I refuse to let go of anyone. "How about Ericsson and Taylor?"
I sat at my desk after my employees gave me a Party. I googled DJ Relic. So he is a DJ. He also own two clubs. Jays and Club Royals. I called the manager's number.
" Yes, could you tell me what club DJ Relic will perform on Friday?"
" Mrs. Taylor, how are you today?"asked Dr. Chandler. I told her in the positive.
"I see you want a low dose pill." She replied looking over my records. Dr. Chandler and I was in the same age bracket.
" I am thinking about having a child." I told her. She smiled. " Fertility declines when a woman enters her thirties but there are procedures now that a woman can have a child well into her fifties." Dr. Chandler stated. " You have a fifty-fifty chance of becoming pregnant if you should get off the pill in a year. And since  you are switching pill dosage it is a possibility without precautions you can get pregnant."
Afterwards, I decided to do my favorite pastime, stalking Relic. I wasn't creepy but it's been a while since he texted or call me. I miss my Master. I saw him and another guy loading up equipment on a truck.
He was wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey and jeans. With boots. He was an enigma. I noticed that this red Ford Focus was tailing me.
I was a little scared. I didn't know who it was. I would turn and they would turn. I drove to Cedar Drive where Regina lived. That's when I lost them.
