"Please don't make me go out there." I begged Kyra and Brian as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. "Stop being a baby now, you making me mad." Kyra quipped as she fluffed my hair out. I pouted a little before speaking. "You two crazies are making this a big deal for nothing. I'm only doing a lap dance, no poles involved." Ignoring my words, Kyra turned me to face Brian. "Brian, would you want a dance from her looking like this?" She wondered. He scratched his chin a bit, "I would take a dance from her if she looked like a scarecrow so yeah, I would." I think it was safe to say that he had some type of interest in me and my looks but who really cares. Hell, he wasn't too bad looking himself.

"Alright so Brian, you are not allowed to touch me during this dance." I looked at him to make sure that he understood. "Yeah so that's cool and all. And as much as I would like to, I'm not the one receiving it." He smirked while folding his arms across his chest. My face scrunched up. "Who?" I asked looking at Kyra because this stunt had her name scribbled all over it. "Adonis. Don't worry, I ran down rules. Plus I know how his touch makes you weak in the knees and you can't mess up so, I handcuffed him." I bust out laughing at that. "You handcuffed him? Why do you carry handcuffs around?" She opened her mouth to say but I didn't really want to know so I just walked out. Her ole freaky ass.

I stood with my back facing Don and waited for the music to start. I was trying to shake my nerves because I've never danced in front of him. What if he didn't like it? Or... Well too late to keep thinking, Fantasy by T-Pain and Dawn Richards blasted through the speakers and I got down to it. At the point where I flipped onto his lap to straddle him, he whispered a few dirty things in my ear. Shaking my head trying to rid my mind of the memories of the pervs I used to dance for, I continued until the ending. Once it was over, Kyra ran over squealing. "I swear if I was lesbian!" "Which you will never be." I reminded her. "I can dream." She frowned. We continued talking until Don cut in, "Uh Kyra, a little help here?" "Oh right." She laughed as she dug into her bra for the key to free him.

Don walked over and grabbed my waist and pushed me back into the mirrors. "You got me all the way turned on B, can you fix this problem?" he whispered in a voice lower than his usual as he pressed his erection into my tummy. I blushed and bit my lip. Before I could give an answer, Brian and Kyra were both telling us to stop acting like we were the only two in the room.

"Doing anything tonight?" I asked in hopes that he wasn't so we could hang. "Actually, I have some work at the studio to do." He didn't look at me when he said it though and it made me wonder if he was being honest. Instead, I nodded my head in understanding. "Well maybe tomorrow or another time." I mumbled while looking down. He lifted my face up to look at him but I looked away. "I'll call you. Okay?" he pecked my lips but I didn't return it. "What's wrong?" "Nothing. Go before you're late getting to the studio." He stared down at me a moment before walking out.

"Why you looking so down?" Kyra asked on the drive to my house. "No reason." I told her shrugging my shoulders. "Wanna come out with me and April tonight?" Since I had nothing to do, I figured going somewhere with those two was better than sitting on the couch in the house like a hobbit was better. "What time should I be ready?" I wondered. She did a double take at me as she pulled up to my house. "Is that a yes?" Shock was all in her voice and all over her face. "Should I change my mind?" Quickly, she shook her head before I stepped out the car. "I'll be back at 9:30!" She yelled to my back.

Knowing that we weren't going anywhere too special, I pulled out a pair of jeans, a black pullover hoodie and timbs along with an Obey snapback that Don had left over here. I quickly showered and straightened my hair before getting dressed. Once I got down the stairs, they were beeping the horn. After locking up, I slid into the backseat. "Where we going?" I asked. "Pool hall and hello to you too." April spoke. "My bad. Hey y'all" I laughed.

We had been at the pool hall a couple of hours having a good time. "Britni, 5 o'clock. Is that Kaylin?" I checked where she said and sure enough, there he was. Kaylin was my ex from college. I wasn't fully into him back then but he was fun and we worked well together; for the most part. Reason we broke up was because he was a little controlling and he hated how I made money. I lost contact with him a few weeks after our breakup and the day that I bailed him out of jail. "Yup." I turned shrugging my shoulders. "Am I missing something?" April wondered looking at us. "He's an ex. End of story." I let her know. "He sexy as hell, I know that." She muttered fanning herself. "I'm telling Ant." I joked.

"Britni, Britni, Britni." Kaylin's velvet smooth voice spoke as he approached the three of us. I looked at him pretending to be shocked. "Kaylin? Is that you?" Kyra and April snickered. "Cut the act Brit. I saw you check me out a few minutes ago. You still look good, if not better. How you been?" "Good." was my short response. "You ladies mind if I steal her a minute?" he looked at Ky then to April. They shook their heads. "What if I didn't want to come with you?" I asked once we sat at a table. "But you did." he pointed out. I just gave him a small smile and we caught up and talked for a good while.

"So I'm pretty sure that we are being watched right now." he grinned. I looked around until my eyes landed on Adonis. He was glaring and shooting daggers our way. And he had some nerve in doing so when there was a girl on his lap and his arms wrapped around her. Wasn't he supposed to be at the studio? Me being me, I waved at him with a smile on my face before directing my attention back to Kaylin. "Listen, I'm sure my girls are ready to go. I'll see you around." I stood up. "Boyfriend?" "What?" He gestured towards Don. "He your boyfriend?" "That's none of your business." I say before walking away.

"Did y'all see that he was out with some broad after he told me he was gonna be busy at the studio? And looked at me like I was wrong" I huffed in the backseat. "We heard you. Are you jealous?" Kyra smiled. "No I'm mad that he lied. If he was chillin with someone else he could have said so and he didn't." "Whatever you say Britni." April shook her head. I wasn't jealous at all like I said. "I told you to stop playing with him." "Whatever." I entered the house and pulled off my clothes. About to climb in the bed, my bell went off. I went to answer and Don barged inside. Still holding the door open, I looked at him as if he had two heads. He obviously lost some marbles.

"Don't ever walk in here like you pay bills. This my shit, not yours." He ignored me. "Who's the guy?" he wanted to know. "Why?" I asked, hand on my hip. "Just tell me who he is B." "How was the studio?"

He laughed lightly, "You jealous?" I looked at my nails and then up at him. "Not at all. But I am upset that you lied. You could've said you had a date. Now if you came to be nosey, then you can leave." I held the door open wider. As he walked past he grabbed me and pulled me close. Discreetly, I inhaled his scent. "Get off of me Adonis, you smell like cheap perfume." I pulled away. "Don't get too comfy with that dude." Shaking my head, I closed and locked up before getting in the bed.

Waking up, I decided to visit my dad and I was going to try and have Ant come with. I stopped at his house and knocked, afraid to use my key because I saw April's car and wanted to spare my eyesight just incase. He opened the door and let me in with a hug. "What brings you by?" "I just wanted to come visit my favorite brother." "I'm your only brother." he poked my head. "What do I have to do?" he wondered. "Oh nothing." I grinned bearing teeth. "Just come see Daddy." He rolled his eyes, "I ain't speaking to him." I jumped on him, excited that he agreed. "Come on twin, you feel like you packing a few pounds." Punching him in the shoulder, "Are you calling me fat?" I shrieked. He didn't respond as he grabbed his phone and keys and walked out. The nerve of him.

"Should we use our key?" Ant asked me as we pulled into the driveway. I just shrugged and decided to knock. He opened up shortly after. He didn't say anything, just held the door open and followed us into the living room. "Haven't seen you two in a while. How've you been?" Knowing Ant wouldn't answer, I did. "I was pretty busy at the studio." He turned to Ant who let out a sigh. "Don't ask me anything. I didn't come to see you, I came because my sister asked me to. Don't you worry about how I am until you get my mom back from wherever she is and back in this house." he spoke through gritted teeth. I gripped his hand in mine to get him not to say anything else.

"Have you talked to her Daddy?" I watched as he leaned back in the chair. "Once. She rushed me off the phone saying that she wasn't ready to talk with me." It was silent after that. I wasn't sure of what to say which was weird because I can always hold conversation with him no matter what. Finally, the silence was broken.

"I fucked up. I was dumb honestly. Your mother and I were going through a difficult stage in our marriage when you kids were seniors in high school. I met Stephanie then. She was my piece of happiness away from your mother and our issues. I ended up sleeping with her. It was only supposed to be a one time thing but I kept going back. That was my fault. I should have ended it before it even began. Lisa had her suspicions but after I had denied it so many times, she left it alone. I wish I could take it all back. I can't, because it already happened."

Nobody said a word after he finished talking. Little footsteps could be heard coming from down the steps and a small voice interrupted the silence. "Daddy! I woke up and you wasn't there like you said!" My twin and I looked at each other. "Daddy?" we both mouthed. "Sorry baby girl, Daddy had to do something. Do you forgive me?" he apologized to get and she shook her head yes before looking at us.

"Who are you? My name's Alayna and I'm five." She held up her fingers to show us her age. "Uh..." I started to speak but I stopped, unsure if I should say her brother and sister. "Beat it kid." Ant said under his breath. I hit his knee and mouthed "Stop" After she stared for another minute, her eyes became big as saucers. "You're Anthony and Britni, my big brother and sister!" She screamed attacking us with a hug.

I laughed as my twin pried her fingers from off of him. "You're prettier than your pictures." she grinned at me. "Thanks." I looked at my dad for help. "So, we have to go." He stood grabbing Alayna. "Come on baby girl, they have to leave." "Bye!" She waved to us. I waved back but Ant did not.

As soon as we shut the car doors. "Do you believe we have a sister?" we asked each other at the same time. "No. Do you believe he called her baby girl? There can only be one and I don't care how old I am, that's my name. Not the love child's." Ant just shook his head. "You didn't have to be so mean to the poor kid." I looked at him. "Tuh! Like hell I didn't. I don't know that little crumb snatcher especially for her to put those sticky, candy smelling fingers on me like we cool and shit." he rambled on. I just shook my head dying from laughter as I headed back towards his house.
