Chapter Two #2
When I pulled up, the parking lot was packed.
That most likely meant that some of the football players were in here and the thirsty bitches came out to be another notch on their belt.
After parking in the employee lot, I grabbed my things and went through the designated entrance.
I nodded at Spike, one of the security guards, and headed inside.
The crowd was already thick, and that was a good thing. Maybe I could end up working a section with the players in it and get a big tip. I could use every last dime right now.
I went to the employee lounge and put my things inside of my locker.
Asia was coming inside when I was walking out.
She was about the only one I tolerated here.
All these other hoes were hating, and I didn’t have time for that shit.
I was cordial with Stacks because he was a cool boss, but they swore I was fucking him.
Unlike them, I had morals, and that man had a wife and kids at home. I had enough shit going on.
“Girl, you’re right on time. A few Cannons and Generals just came in, and you know what that means.” She stuck her tongue out and started twerking.
“It means you’re gone have one of them niggas dick down your throat before the end of the night,” I joked, but wasn’t lying.
“Shit, I could only hope.” We shared a laugh and headed out to get this night started.
As I was tying my apron around my waist, a solid body collided into mine, almost knocking me down, but I didn’t fall because he was fast with his hands. When I looked up, it was Titan Samuels. I was flustered for a second before I got my bearings together.
“Damn, shorty. Watch where you going.” He flashed his pearly white smile that showcased a deep dimple that I’m sure got him plenty of pussy.
“My bad. I didn’t see you,” I rushed out.
I stood and watched his eyes roam over my frame. Our work attire required crop tops and skorts that left nothing to the imagination, with fishnets and black boots.
“Shit, you good.” He licked his lips.
I didn’t know what to say, so I didn’t say anything.
After a few seconds, I just walked off because the interaction was weird.
When I got to the front to get my assignment for the night, I noticed I had the first VIP section.
I’m pretty sure that’s where the team was, and I was glad I got that section.
“It’s mighty funny that you get the section with the football team and I got stuck on the lower level,” my co-worker Laci spat.
“Take that up with Stacks... not me,” I countered.
“Take what up with me?” Stacks appeared around the corner looking between me and Laci.
“Stacks, how come Cady gets the first VIP, and I’m stuck down here?” Laci folded her arms across her breasts.
“I mean... I thought the sign outside said Stacks On Deck, and the last time I checked... I’m Stacks.” He pointed at himself. “But to entertain you, didn’t you just work that same section last week?” He cocked his head to the side.
She didn’t respond.
“Aight, then,” he asserted. “Wassup, Cady? You good?” he asked.
I called out of work when I got the news about my financial situation with school, and this was my first day back, so his concern was genuine because I rarely called out.
“Yeah, I’m good,” I lied.
“Bet, now y’all get to work,” he laughed as he walked off.
Once he was gone, I headed upstairs to check on whoever was up there.
When I made it, the music seemed a little louder than it was in the main area, and it wasn’t three people up here.
I noticed one was Trey Walker from The Generals, Cannon Hills Basketball team.
The blogs said he and Titan were best friends, so it wasn’t surprising that they would be in the same place at the same time.
“Hey, guys. I’m Cady. What can I get y’all?” I asked the trio.
Before I could respond, I was cut off by somebody invading my space.
“Damn, I get to look at your fine ass all night?” I turned my head and Titan was in my personal space. He may have been fine and all, but I didn’t play about my space.
“Uhh... you can back up.” I frowned.
“Damn Sam. She ain’t fucking with you,” his teammate joked. When I got a good look, I noticed it was Ja’Kobe Raines.
I rolled my eyes and asked them again what they wanted to drink.
“Bring us a bottle of 1942 and some chips and salsa,” Trey said.
“Will that be all?” I asked.
“Nah, you can come bring your fine ass back and kick it with your boy,” Titan mentioned, not taking his eyes off me.
“I’d rather not,” was all I said before I walked off.
“Damn, Mr. Franchise,” Trey laughed.
I could hear them laughing at him as I walked off. I had too much shit going on to be caught in Titan Samuels’ web.
The rest of the night went by fast, and I wasn’t mad. Titan and his crew ordered one more bottle and had a few girls join them, but that didn’t stop Titan from flirting with me. I ignored his advances, but I wasn’t dumb enough to mess up a good tip.
I made my last round up to VIP to see if they were ready to close out their tab. Titan paid, and when he handed me his card, he held my hand tighter.
“Hold up,” he insisted. “Y’all keep all your own tips, right?” he asked.
I nodded.
“Aight. Charge my bill and get an extra five thousand for your tip.” When he said that, I almost passed the fuck out.
“I-I can’t do that,” I stammered.
He frowned. “Why not? Didn’t you earn it?”
“Not that damn much and you know it,” I shot back.
“Look at it as a peace offering.” He flashed a smile.
Hesitating, I squinted at him before I turned on my heels and headed to close out his tab. I had to go find Stacks or Geno, the club’s manager, because I couldn’t get that much money without clearance. When I made it to the bottom, I found both of them standing at the end of the bar.
“Hey, I was looking for y’all,” I stated.
“Wassup, Cady?” Stacks asked.
I told him what my dilemma was, and he smirked before telling me to follow him. We made it to his office, where he went into his safe, pulling out a stack of cash.
“Here.” He handed me the cash.
“What is this for?” I asked.
“That nigga knows we can’t cash out that kind of cash here. Take this and I’ll go holla at him.” I looked at Stacks, then at the cash.
“I can’t take this.” I shook my head.
“Yeah, you can. I’m gone get my money back from that nigga, but that’s yours. He clearly wanted you to have it.”
I looked at the money again and thought about the debt that I was in. It wouldn’t solve all of my problems, but it would help start a dent in it.
I thanked Stacks and headed out of his office so I could cash out the rest of my tips and go home.
On the way out, I felt eyes on me, and when I turned around, and saw Titan staring at me, but had a girl swooning over him.
I shook my head and made it to my car with the help of Spike.
Once I was secured in my vehicle, I headed straight home.
I made fifty-five hundred dollars tonight, thanks to Titan.
First thing in the morning I was going straight to the bank and deposit this money.
“Only twenty-one thousand nine hundred thirty-six dollars and eighteen cents to go,” I said to myself as I headed home.
