Page 8 of I'm So Mega
She gave her a wordless response by nodding her head. When her hair was let go, she fell back on the couch. It didn’t take her long to scurry to her feet and run out of my office.
I giggled as my eyes bounced between my future husband and mother-in-law. “Why are y’all so violent? I don’t think all of that is necessary.”
Mama Goldie waved me off. “Girl, bye. That little heifer said her rancid coochie was holding my grandchild. All the violence was needed.” She threw up the peace sign. “I’m gone.”
She walked out without a care in the world. Before I could move, two strong arms pulled me into a hard chest. I lifted my head to look into the eyes of the man I would share a last name with in less than a week.
He kissed my neck before he nuzzled his face into it. “I don’t want you to go. I’ma miss you.”
“Baby, you’re going to be having fun at your bachelor party. You’re not going to be thinking about me.” I kissed his lips, then wiggled out of his arms. “I have work to do.”
I heard him groaning, but he would be alright. Neither of us had plans to be home tonight, because both of our parties were tonight. According to our friends, that was intentional.
Bachelorette Party. . .
My hands covered my wide eyes. “Oh my God! Oh my God!”
I should have asked a lot more questions. I should never have let them blindfold me. Fiona, Whimsy, and Shandeli had me at a strip club with male strippers. There was penis everywhere.
“Girl, if you don’t uncover your eyes. They know not to touch you,” Shan said after she pulled my hand down from my eyes. “We’re crazy, not stupid.”
We were in a private section. “Shan, why would you bring me here? How do you even know about this place?”
“Girl, I used to work here. They only do men night twice a month, so I wanted us to be in the building.” She stood up, turned around, and started twerking. One of the strippers came behind her and started to grind on her.
This was too much. Yes, a lot about me had changed, but not that much to where I would be comfortable in this kind of environment. What was sexy about men with a rubber band or whatever it is around their penis. That had to hurt.
Fiona bumped into my shoulder. “You look like you’re not having fun. We’re not going to be here much longer. This is Shan’s portion of the night.”
“I guess that’s good to know.” My body turned toward Fiona. “Shan said that she used to work here. I didn’t know that.”
Before she could say anything, Shan plopped onto my lap. “Hey, girlie. I know you’re ready to leave.”
“I am. Shan, you said you used to work here. Were you a bartender or something?” I asked her.
Shan glared at me, then laughed. “Girl, no. I was, well, I’m a stripper. I gotta feed my babies.”
That caught me completely off guard. “Shan, if you need more money, I could give you a raise.”
“Trust me, bestie. There is no raise you could give me that would equal to the two to three thousand that I bring in on the nights that I work.” She kissed my cheek, then stood back up to go dance with the stripper guy.
I sat there and watched her get her life. I wondered if they were having sex with each other, because they were overly friendly. “How much longer until we get to your portion of the night?”
Fiona chortled. “Girl, let me tell this girl that it’s time to go. You look like you’re about to run out the door.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
A loud sound blasted above the music. People started to run from the back of the club toward the front doors.What in the world is going on?
Fiona grabbed my hand before she told Shan and Whimsey to come on. We followed closely behind each other to get out of the club. I noticed when we were closer to the door that Fiona had her gun in her hand.Jesus, be a safety fence.
We finally got outside to assess what the commotion was. “Oh my God! Look!”
I pointed to the back of the building that was completely engulfed in flames. How could a building catch fire that fast? People were still filing out of the club’s front doors.
“I figured since y’all wanted to take my woman to Sodom and Gomorrah that I’d help Big G with the fire and brimstone.” Mega’s voice startled me. “Shan, you got me fucked up. I know this was your damn idea.”
I spun around to see a very upset Mega. Croy and Ned accompanied him. I stepped into Mega’s personal space. “You did not do this.”
