~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The weekend finally came and I had earned my first $450 dollars from August.

My intentions were to stay home, watch movies and pig out, but my bestfriend Jennifer called me, suggesting that we went for a little girl's night out.

I didn't really feel up to getting all dolled up and staying out all night, but screw it! It's been a while since we actually went out, and on top of that, Shawn was already out with his friend Kevin and the rest of his posse. Most likely at some strip club.

After I showered, lotioned down and put on my smell goods, i curled my hair and then looked through my closet for something simple but cute to put on.

Atlanta's weather was stupid at times. Early February and we had 60 degree weather, when just a few days ago it was 38.

Rummaging through my closet for about 15 minutes, I had finally decided on an outfit. I put on some denim shorts with black fishnets underneath, a gold sequins tank top, black thigh high boots, black leather jacket &my gold Forever21 handbag.

I wasn't sure how much I was going to drink, or if I was at all, but I took a cab to the spot where we were meeting at, just to be on the safe side.

I arrived at The Alley, some lounge/restaurant, where the food was decent, the drinks were strong and the prices were reasonable, and met the girls inside.

"Hey y'all.", I said once reaching the table and noticing two unfamiliar faces.

"Took you long enough.", Jennifer said.

I put my jacket on the back of my chair and sat. "I know. It took a lil while for me to get a cab.", I said.

"Mmmmhm.", Jennifer said. "Oh! Mel, this is my co-worker Evelyn and her friend Kenya... Evelyn and Kenya, this is my bestie Melanie."

"Hello.", they simultaneously said.

"Hi, nice meeting y'all.", I said with a warm smile so that I didn't seem as rude for not shaking their hand.

The music playlist was on point as we all sat, ate, drank and talked our shit.

For the hour they've been in my presence, Evelyn and Kenya seemed cool. Although I was taught to always be cordial, I was far from a people person, especially when it came down to random bitches. I'm different from when I was younger because I had to learn how to give people a chance and see what they're about before automatically deciding that I didn't want to f*ck with them. Myla on the other hand, didn't act on that. If she's cool with you, then she's cool with you point blank period. If she ain't, there's a chance your feelings would be hurt if you steered her the wrong way.

"I'm tipsy.", Jennifer said. "I'm ready to go twerk with the bitches at Onyx."

"Mm mm.", Kenya said shaking her head in disagreement. "That ratchet shit. I used to work there."

"Ohhh shit. We sittin' at the table wit a stripper!", Myla said.

"Former stripper.", Kenya said making sure to correct her.

"Oh. Well what made you stop?", Myla asked.

"I just couldn't deal wit that damn place anymore. It may not seem like it from the outside lookin' in, but that nightlife is crazy.", Kenya replied.

"Girllll, I can only imagine. But I guess a hoe just gotta roll wit the punches.", Myla said and then sipped some of her drink.

"Shit, I'm 'bout to go shake my ass for some bandz my damn self!", I lied. But I knew Myla was throwing shade and I wanted to catch that umbrella before it hit Kenya.

"Right!", Evelyn agreed. "Once I get my stomach back in shape, I just might go work that pole.", she laughed.

Thank goodness the sun was shining brightly!

"Y'all some floozies!", Jen said. "Sittin' here talkin' about shakin' ass. . .go home to y'all boos cuz a bitch like me will be home alone wit' my cat."

"You stupid.", I laughed.

We chilled at The Alley for about an hour longer before leaving.

Myla took a cab home and Kenya offered me, Jennifer and Evelyn a ride home since she drove.

Evelyn turned up the volume on the stereo as we all sang along to Chris Brown's "Strip".

"Take it off, I wanna love u! If everybody wanna touch u, u movin' right wanna see what's up under, then back it up beep beep like a trucker! Nice thighs, nice waist and u kno I can't forget about ya face - but don't none of that matter if I'm about to make ya pockets splatter - Girl I just wanna see u strip right now cuz it's late babe - I just wanna see u strip girlll take ya time wit it! Girl I just wanna see u strip, goddamn u sexy (for meee) goddamn u sexy (baaaby) goddamn u sexy..."

"Do y'all know what I would do to Chris ass?!", Kenya said shouting over the music.

"And have Karrueche come for dat ass right!", Evelyn said while continuing to dance in the passenger seat.

"Kahoochie ain't even gotta know!", Kenya exclaimed.

Evelyn turned the music back down to medium volume so they wouldn't have to talk so loud over it anymore.

"So you tellin' me if Chris was in Atlanta WITH Karrueche right now and he stepped out to go to 7Eleven and you ran into him, you'd tell him that you wanna f*ck?", Evelyn asked.

Kenya glanced over at Evelyn, "Nooooo girl...", and then looked back at road. "I'd tell him that I wanna suck, f*ck, ride his face AND have his babies.", she said without shame.

"Damnnnn. Straight like that huh.", Jen said.

Kenya dropped Evelyn home first, then Jennifer, and me last being that she was going in my direction.

I got out from the back seat and sat on the passenger's side while we conversed a little as she drove me home.

"So you don't live too far from me?", I asked.

"Mm, I'd say about 15 minutes away.", Kenya replied. "I'm gonna sleep soooo good tonight.", she said.

"I feel you. . .I should sleep good tonight too.", I said. "Well that's if my boyfriend don't be snoring, sounding like a motor boat."

She laughed. "Ohhh nooo. I can't stand that snoring shit! I have no problem puttin' a pillow over a nigga face.", she said.

Her phone went off and I quietly sat as she answered it.
"Hey daddy, wassup. . . No, I just left from The Alley a lil while ago. You still at the studio?. . . Sooo, you rushed me and you still at the studio recordin' for the album in your imagination? *she laughed* I'm just kiddin' baby! U know I like your music. . . Well I'm droppin' one of the gal pals off right now and then takin' my ass home. . . Okay. . . See you at the house babe.", she said before hanging up.

I got home to an empty apartment, so I guess that meant Shawn was still out throwing dollars at twerkin' asses. I didn't even bother to call and nag him. I just got settled in, took a shower and threw on my pj's to go to bed.

Believe it or not, this chapter took forever to write cuz I was so uninterested in it lmao. This was just to introduce the other characters into the story.
Hope it wasn't too bad.

Myla is petty Lol that could've caused an argument.
What y'all think about Evelyn &Kenya so far?
