I nodded then took off my jacket, revealing the all-in-one I wore underneath. Looking out to Jamel, he winked his eye and bit his bottom lip. I couldn’t wait to perform for him tonight.
CHAPTER17
JAMEL
As I stood there ready to watch Sandrene perform for Amiko, I could see her morphing into Obsession. I’d missed seeing her perform, and I couldn’t wait to see this shit. I quickly sat in a chair so I could hide my erection. Watching her dance always did that shit to me. When she flipped on the pole, I saw Amiko’s husband’s eyes widen.Uh huh. My baby the shit.
As I was enjoying her performance, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. When I saw Yolanda’s name, I frowned slightly. She had no reason to be texting me. I opened it to see her message.Hey, Mel. We’re having a graduation party for Durrell this coming weekend. I hope you can make it. I’d mentioned it to your mom, but she has her hands full. She has DJ’s boys since he and Shavozz are on their honeymoon, and she has the triplets. It’s Saturday at 6.
I responded after watching Obsession hit her splits and go up on point, to which Amiko started wiggling in her seat. I chuckled, then sent her a reply.Is my lady welcome to come with me?
Lady?
She responded quick as hell. Hopefully, she wouldn’t be on no bullshit. I responded with one word.Yeah.
After a minute or so, she responded again.I suppose so. I didn’t know you were involved with anyone.
I slid my phone back in my pocket and gave my baby my undivided attention. YoYo wasn’t gon’ fuck with my mood. She acted like I owed her something. I didn’t owe her shit. If anything, she owed me for stretching out that pussy when she needed it. She knew that shit wouldn’t last forever. Hell, it wasn’t even supposed to happen, let alone last.
When Obsession went back to the pole, my dick immediately stood at attention. She’d spread her legs, and I could see the print of her pussy. I still couldn’t believe that all of that was mine. She ended the routine in a split with one leg in front of her and the other behind her and her head resting on her knee. I stood and applauded along with everyone else. Amiko was hopping up and down, and Tip had a huge smile on her face.
“Sandrene! That was amazing!” Amiko said as she ran to the stage.
Jungle appeared next to me and said, “She fire for real. This club gon’ lose a lot of patrons now that she’s gone. I heard last night was crowded, but a lot of people left early when they found out she wasn’t here.”
“Yeah, she the shit. It just shows that what someone means for evil, can work out to elevate you.”
He frowned slightly. “What you mean?”
“She was assaulted at this bitch Saturday night. Amiko asked all y’all to come because she scared to be here. I needed her to be relaxed as hell, and I knew she would have still been worried had it just been me.”
“Aww fuck. That’s messed up. She seems so cool.”
“She is. She used to wear a masquerade mask when she stripped… Well, you know that from my birthday party. When the muthafucka took her mask off, he recognized her. He’s her half-brother. She didn’t know him, but he knew who she was. Nigga was sick.”
“That’s fucked up. He beat her?”
“Naw,” I said, then stared at him for a moment. “He didn’t go all the way, but his hands went on a hell of a journey. Had he not pulled off her mask, he probably would have gone all the way.”
“What’s his name?”
“Jeremiah.”
“What’s his last name?”
“I’m assuming Jallow like hers.”
“That’s a different last name. How come the owner didn’t realize that shit?”
“That’s a good ass question. For her sake, I hope everything is on the up and up with that. Even if she couldn’t tell him who Sandrene was, she sure in the fuck could have told Sandrene.”
Sandrene was heading our way with a huge smile on her face, but it faded as she stared at me. “You were amazing as always, baby.”
“Thank you. Everything okay?” she asked as she glanced at Jungle.
“Yeah. Everything’s cool, baby. So I take it you got the job?”
“Hell yeah! I report to the studio tomorrow so she can show me around. She already called someone to install poles for the class. She said she had an extra room with no idea what to use it for. But now it’s going to be used for a pole dancing class! Thank you so much, baby.”
