CHAPTER 2
"Who the heck was that?" confused Jasper asked.
She responded, "I don't know, but I need you to get this money out of here because it's risky for me to keep it on me."
She walked up to the girls after giving Jasper the envelope.
As Jasper was waiting for her at her home, they decided to depart and go there.
"You guys did excellent today! How about we celebrate tomorrow evening," she asked after dividing the cash among them.
She grinned and added, "Let's have a girls' night at that famous club downtown."
The girl squealed with excitement as they agreed, and Delicia said to her, "Alright, folks, let's go home and get some rest for the party tomorrow."
Delicia stayed behind to talk to her after they had left.
She asked, "So, how are things with you and Damon?"
Alayna responded, "He's ignoring me, and he's out of town."
Delicia responded, "He's a total jerk!" Fuck him! Better things await you."
Alayna responded, "You're right, D.
"I'm going to shower, get some rest, and talk to you tomorrow."
She hugged Delicia.
"See you tomorrow!" I'm excited!" Delicia said to her before she exited.
Before taking a shower, she checked on her sisters.
She had just finished getting ready for bed when she walked downstairs to get a bottle of water and got a text.
When she looked at her phone, she saw a message from her boyfriend that said, "Alayna, would you stop calling me? I'm tired of our relationship.
"I want to live a regular life with someone who isn't a gangster on the streets.
" I've had enough of you.
"Go ahead and do you."
"What the fuck is this?" she asked herself after gazing at the text for a moment.
"I'm a dancer, not a gangster.
"Is he being serious right now?"
He rejected her call when she phoned him right away.
She flung the phone against the kitchen wall.
She leaned over the counter, holding her head.
She said, "What the hell, that's the stupidest way to dump someone."
She took the water and proceeded to her room.
"Here we are again, Alayna," she mumbled as she sat on her bed, fighting to hold her tears back. "This is how it normally comes out; perhaps I'm cursed or something."
She wiped her eyes as she lay on the bed trying to sleep, and eventually, she fell asleep.
Kathy knocked on her door the following morning.
She yelled, "What is it?!"
Kathy responded, "Damon is here to get his things."
She sprang out of bed and walked down to her front door.
She asked, "What the fuck are you doing?"
He replied, "I came here to get the items I left."
She responded, "Don't play dumb with me. "Do I look like a gangster?
"You suddenly send a stupid Message dumping me because I dance in the streets?
"I do everything I can to care for my sisters because I don't have anybody else, and I thought you had my back, but I was mistaken. "You're a real dick."
She shut the door and went to grab a box containing his belongings.
When she returned with his stuff, she unlocked the front door, threw it at him, and closed the door without saying anything to him.
She took a deep breath and made her way to the kitchen.
Kathy asked her, "What was that?"
She responded, "It's nothing; get dressed and take Darla to school."
She walked away and went upstairs to her room.
Kathy had left with Darla, and Alayna was preparing to go grocery shopping.
Delicia arrived in a hurry before she left the house, asking, "Hey, are you okay? I couldn't get a hold of you."
Alayna responded, "Yup, I broke it.
"I will buy a new one later on."
Delicia asked her, "What's going on?
"I knew something was off!
"Talk to me."
She sighed and responded, "Damon and I are over."
"Ali, I'm sorry," Delicia said as she approached her and hugged her.
"That son of a bitch will be sorry for what he did."
Delicia let go of her and said, "We're going to need those drinks tonight, aren't we?"
Alayna chuckled as Delicia said, "Now, that's what I love to see."
Alayna responded, "Thank you, Delicia; I was going to go grocery shopping."
Delicia responded, "I'm going to see my mother and I will return in time for later."
Alayna responded, "Let me handle this, and I'll see you later tonight."
She left after Delicia and returned an hour later.
She packed away her groceries and then decided to take a nap.
Kathy was already at home with Darla when she awoke at 5:30 p.m.
She got up and went to the kitchen to cook dinner, informing Kathy, "Kat, I'm going out tonight.
"I might not be home until tomorrow, so will you keep an eye on Darla?"
Kathy responded, "Sure, do your thing; I've got this."
She smiled, patted Kathy's shoulder, and walked away.
She went into the bathroom and took a bath.
Alayna returns to her room and searches her wardrobe for an outfit.
She picked a black bodycon dress.
She does her hair and makeup and takes a purse to hold her lipstick and other minor items.
She went downstairs after grabbing a pair of high shoes in black and silver.
When Kathy saw her, she said, "Oh my god! You look hot! I believe I love this style."
She rolled her eyes at her as she approached Darla and said, "Please be a nice girl to Kathy. I'll be back shortly."
She gave Darla a forehead kiss before turning to face Kathy and said, "You're too big for hugs and kisses.
"No boys in our house, okay?
"I'll be back home soon."
Kathy chuckled and replied, "I know, bye! Have a good time!"
She smiled and walked away.
She headed down the street to their dance studio that once belonged to her grandmother.
She waited for the entire group of girls to arrive so they could leave together.
