"D you got 10 kids, tonight girl, ion see how you deal with them" Tori complained as she  sat in my chair ready to get her hair touched up

"They not that bad and I need to get ready anyways, I got a couple more of months left before he gets here"

"Diamond we gon be short-staffed at the bar tonight so I need you out there and ill call Mani to do the daycare alone tonight  " Jessica, the manager said as she gave everyone their stations. I honestly hate being in the front because its already weird pregnant in the strip club, under all of the eyes, and being around all of those drunk people irritate me, and don't get me started on those strong perfume and cologne makes me sick every time

I finished Tori's hair and did a couple of touch-ups on the girls until Big T, my favorite bouncer, came to walk me to the bar. Every time I have to work in the front he makes sure I get behind the counter every since I met him. He says that I'm not made to be out there and he swears someone is going to hurt my belly. Not that I'm complaining. 

"My favorite Gentle Giant" I cheesed

"my favorite little preggers" he laughed as he held the door for me

"Come on we got a meeting at Cloud 9 tonight" I told JohnJohn as i stand  from my desk.

"Man why do I have to go? You know ion like Dime or Shawne slow asses " He whined

Me, Dime, and JohnJohn have been friends since middle school. We were damn near inseparable until shawne came along. JohnJohn always had a crush on Dime so he took it hard when her and Shawne got together. Now they argue like cats and dogs when they are near each other.

"I don't give a fuck let's go. We ain't gon be there long. Do this meeting, check on shit and then ima drop yo crybaby ass off "

Cloud 9 was going stupid tonight. The line was wrapped. It was early April ,so that means spring break for the colleges in St.LucassJust the shi I like to see

We get out the car and walk through the back. Soon as we walk in I'm already starting to get annoyed we walked down the long hallway

strike one: the door is unlocked with no security

Strike two: the daycare is closed

A lot of people think that it's weird to have the daycare in the back but it's really smart.

My real mama, Destiny, was a stripper. It was rough. She left me alone at night so she could provide for her son. She made sure I was fed, bathed, and in bed before leaving. Then she met JohnJohn's mom and started leaving me with JohnJohn who was only three years older than me. It wasn't that bad at first but one night she changed. She wasn't the loving caring mother that she was before. There were nights that we didn't see our mothers at all. That's how I met Dime. One night we went door to door asking for food and her granny Ms.Ebony was the woman who took me in and fed me when my mama wasn't there.

So all of my businesses have child care in the back of them, so the kids don't have to be alone, hungry, and scared while their parents are trying to provide. Everybody don't have a Ms.Ebony in their life unfortunately

"bra these hoes nasty" JohnJohn said coming out of the mirror room that the girls get dressed in

Strike three Nasty hoes

We finally walk to the front and I am more that pleased. It is packed in this hoe and money is everywhere.
