Monday one to the strip club with her boyfriend, Monterius, over the weekend, and a fight had broken out between the dancers See, I’d rather be at ho overa crazy fight

“What I’ will be quick What’s up?” I asked, prepared for whatever she was about to ask me

“Did you ever think about what you and I discussed last week?” she asked with a smile on her beautiful face

“We discussed a lot of things You have to be very specific,” I said

I knehat she was referring to, though; I was just trying to find a way to talk around the subject like I always did whenever I didn’t want to just flat out say no

“Norht My cousin, Billionaire, is ho cousin just did five years behind bars, so we’re going out to celebrate with hi you; you’ll love it Listen,cousin, my man, and their friends are paid and well known in Mia to have our own little section with theo and catch a vibe You’ll be with thegas that we about to be around tonight, we’re going to be protected regardless,” Twinkle said, trying to win

She, but everything she said was really the sole reason why I didn’t want to go Why the heck would I want to attend a welcome home party for someone who just spent the last five years of their life behind bars? It wasn’t e him because I would leave that to God, but I mean, what did the man even do? I could be around someone who attempted murder, robbed a store, or whatever criet five years in the first place Then, she was talking about all the ht, so no, that just wasn’t ood time

If people wanted to consider , then I’d take that label, but I just never wanted to be in a situation where I was taken out of my comfort zone I wouldn’t even fit in People would automatically look at me and notice that I had no business in a club I didn’t even have club attire My closet was filled with blazers, church dresses, jeans, dressy shirts, and work clothes It wasn’t like I could pull out a little black dress from the back of my closet and throw it on because I didn’t even dress like that

“Twinkle, that’s just not ood ti to hear all about it,” I said, and she sucked her teeth

“Nor to be funny, but what the hell do you have to do when you get home? Please tell et out of the house tonight Girl, it’ll just be for a couple of hours,” she said

“I have things that I have to do For one, I need to finish up ht, and—”

“Girl, please! Those sound like excuses! Just come You can even drive your car, and I’ll just ride with you That henever you want to leave because you’re not feeling it or whatever the case o It’s not iht because your hair is bomb You know that, and everyone else does too I love your silky, curly hair and all those baby hairs I wish I had baby hairs like yours Norotta do a whole lot to get ready For ether and sticking out her bottoive in

I sighed and then slouched in my chair

“What will I even wear? I don’t have anything club like in my closet, and—”

“I’m a step ahead of you, boo, because I already knew you would say that I’ a few of my new pieces from my warehouse over to your house, and you just pick what you want to wear Oooh, I’ht You’re going to love my cousin He’s cool,” she told me
