DIVA: FEMALE HUSTLER

chapter 6

We go to the VIP section and some big bulky dude stops us.

"Move along lil ma," he stares Erica up and down.

" Don't play with us," she stares at him.

" Ayye Dom and E," Tay walks over to us. " Let them in," he tells the bouncer. We walk past the bouncer to an empty table," come sit with us."

" Nah, we don't want to block the groupies." I laugh sitting in the booth, " yall out shine any female here." He looks at me before walking to his table.

" You heard that,girl," she grabs my arm. I look at her," I heard. When he get rid of his hood rat baby mom then I'll think about it." The waitress walks over to us," get us a bottle of," Erica thinks firca second. I look around the room," tequila, ice and candy of ginger ale," the waitress walks away.

Wap plays and every female starts cutting up.

" This is the hoe anthem," I nod my head. The waitress comes back with our drinks," thanks," Erica pays her. I pour us shots," here," I hand her the cup.

" Cheers to a good night," we hit our glasses before taking it back. I shake my head," you used to down this with no problem. You getting old." I roll my eyes," you're older than me." She pours us another shot and I down it.

" There you go," she pats my back. We groove in our seats as the music plays. Chris and Sean walk over to us," wassup E," Sean gives her a hug.

" Hey lil bro," Chris and her stare at each other before hugging. They know they want each other, I shake my head.

They sit down with us," should have told us yall was coming." Chris waves the waitress over," we don't need you to babysit us."

" We ain't babysitting. Just keeping two beautiful ladies company," Sean smiles.

" Cute," I mix the ginger ale and tequila together. Chris orders a bottle of henny and more ice. The club gets packed," good thing we came early," I nod my taking a sip.

" Since they're here, let's dance," Erica gets up. I take another sip before getting up. We walk out the vip section pushing through the crowd. Muwop came one and we started dancing and rapping.

" I can't let a broke nigga beat," we get hype.

" Look girl," she points behind me. I look over my shoulder to see Kyrie leaning against the wall.

I stare for a few seconds before turning around.

" You gonna get some tonight."

"You know they're going to block and he's probably here with some girl."

" Let me go see," I grab Erica's arm as she walks past me. A light skin thin girl walks up to him.

" What,"I nod my head in his direction. We watch as the girl damn near wraps her body.

" He's for the streets," Erica looks back at me.

" Let's get a drink," I pull her to our table. We get back to the table seeing a few females in Chris and Sean's face.

" What's this," she folds her arm across her chest.

" Just a little company," Sean smiles.

" Well tell your company to get out of our seats."

The dark skin girl rolls her neck as she turns to us," we ain't moving."

" Like hell you will," Erica moves towards her. I grab her arm pulling her back.

" Get out of their seats," Chris tells the girl. She opens her mouth," go grab some chairs and bring them over."

" Girl that's his sister. Come on," the other friend pulls her out of the chairs. We sit down when they move," we need some new cup," Erica waves her arm. The waitress comes over and Erica orders two cups of ice. The girls drag two chairs over, the darker one sits next to Chris. Erica rolls her eyes at the girl," be nice." Chris stares at her with a little smile on his face.

" What you smiling at?"

" You," he laughs. She gets up leaving the table.

" Really Chris. Y'all a bunch of kids" I get up following behind her. I push through the crowd to the bar. Erica takes back a shot by the time I reach her.

" What was all that?" She just shakes her taking back another shot.

" E you my girl and he's my brother. I try to let y'all figure this out. It's been two years, it's time to talk." She turns to me with glossy eyes," I can't. I still blame myself for what happened." I pull her into a hug," it wasn't your fault." She starts to whimper,"come on," I pull her to the bathroom. We bump into some girls leaving," ignorant bitches." Erica leans on the sink crying while I grab some paper towels. I dab her face trying not to mess up her makeup.

" Dom you forgive me right?"

" Yes sweetie. It wasn't your fault. He's a sick fucker."

" Okay," ske hiccups. I pull my phone texting Chris. She's drunk and emotional. I'm going to take her home. I put my phone in the sink," I'm sorry for ruining your night."

" I'm a little tired. It's fine," my phone beeps. I'm coming, " Chris is coming." I grab her arm leading her out the bathroom. I move us to the side of the door looking around for him. I look back at Erica seeing her eyes go big and her mouth gap open.

" What is it," she points in front of us. Mike Smith stands just a couple of feet away. He laughs with his arm draped around a girl. My vision goes red of the memories of what he did to my little sister. I walk over push ing the girl out of his arm.

" YOU SICK b***h. WHAT JOY DID YOU HAVE RAPPING MY SISTER. SHE WAS SIXTEEN." He looks at me like he sees a ghost.

"Who the f**k are you," the girl walks up over to me. Erica steps in between us," you don't want any of these problems. You might want to go. She's saving you the embarrassment of being with a child rapist."

" Don't listen to these two bitches. They just drunk," he try to walk past me. I stand in front of him," we lying but you was sending d**k pics to her. Talking about being in love with her." He puts his hands on me pushing me out the way.

" Don't touch her," Erica punches him in the face.

I get my balance as Mike picks his hand up about to hit Erica. I punch him in the side of his face, making him stumble. He looks at me huffing and puffing clenching his fist. Chris and Sean walks over to us giving him a death stare. Mike backs down like the b***h he is.

" You need to be more scared of me than them. Cuz when we get you. I'll be dealing with you."

" Let's go," Chris whispers in my ear. I look around the club music has stopped and everyone is looking at us. I look at Mike one last time before leaving. The cold breeze hits my face as I step outside the club. I close my eyes to keep the tears from falling.

" You okay." I open my eyes to Sean standing next to me," yeah."

" Chris is taking E home." I nod my head following him to the car. We get in Sean's blue mustang. I close my eyes as he pulls off. Visions of the night we found Sophia. She was laid on a dirty mattress in an abandoned building barely breathing. Her face was black and blue. Blood coming down her nose. A dirty sheet over drenched in blood covers her. Bruising around her neck and wrist. By the time we get her to the ER she die. Tears roll down my face as the last time I remember seeing my baby sister lowered into the ground. I open my eyes, wiping the tears away. Sean looks at me grabbing my hand.
