do with yourself? Shit, you shouldn’t even be in this game your damn self.” That was the first time Sheik showed any interest in me and I didn’t want him to lose focus. “Well, I have been thinking about opening a clothing store or something like that. You know something that NiQue and I could do together. Maybe move to some place sunny. Maybe have some kids, do the family thing.” I said not really meaning half of it, but it sure sounded good. Sheik perked up like he believed the bull I was spitting. “That sounds like a plan YaYa. You can’t live off this dirty money forever. Your Dad was able to make it as long as he has because he is smart and has his hands in other ventures too. I respect him for his hustle.” The waitress returned with our food and we chatted for what seemed like hours. I never knew Sheik was so smart. I knew he was street savvy, but I didn’t know he was so intelligent in other arenas. I looked down at the time and realized that I had Corrine’s pick-up and I also wanted to take Neko out. I laid a hundred dollar bill on the table and told Sheik he would have to forgive me for being rude, but I had business to tend to. I let him know dinner was on me and wrote my number on one of the napkins and left the café before he could even say anything. I had been in there too long with money waiting to be collected. I hopped in my Caddy and pushed over to the Southside. Fortunately for me, Corrine’s house wasn’t too far from the café. I pulled up in the Villages of the Parklands in front of one of the units. Looking at the particular neighborhood during the day, you would never know it was one of the worst places to live in DC. The place housed mostly hustlers and drug abusers. All of whom were my clients in one way, form, or fashion. Walking up to the front door of where Corrine had set up camp, I could here babies crying and smell the scent of some hydro in the air. I walked up the flight of stairs and instantly reached in my purse for my heat. I knocked on Corrine’s door and I heard her say, “come in.” I twisted the knob and Corrine looked like she was entertaining a few guests and not in the traditional manner. She was seated on the couch, and two girls were lying on the floor in front of her having sex. They didn’t even bother to stop once they knew I was in the room. Corrine had a look of satisfaction on her face when she saw the bewildered look on mine. I was watching the floor show, and I felt my pussy start to tingle. I knew I had better get what I came for and leave before I became a willing participant. I have always been a sucker for good head. I tore my eyes away from the show and focused on Corrine on the couch. “The next time I am here to make a pick up can you make sure I don’t have to walk into this gay shit.” I boomed. “YaYa, I don’t even know why you are tripping. Besides you said an hour and it has been three since I spoke to you last. Was I supposed to keep them waiting?” She laughed pointing at the two broads who still hadn’t come up for air. Corrine rose off of the couch and motioned for me to follow her to the back. With every step I took to follow her, I could feel the tingle getting stronger. We entered what looked to be her office which housed a 37 inch flat screen TV, and a top of the line Dell computer system complete with scanner and printers. She sat down behind her cherry wood desk and pulled a briefcase from underneath it. She unfastened the snaps and revealed my weekly pay-out. The sight of my money made the tingle grow larger and I began to lose focus. I saw Sheik’s face in my mind and I couldn’t fight the urge to have someone take me, but it damn sure wouldn’t be Corrine. I only mixed business and pleasure when it was money to be gained. I counted the stacks Corrine pushed across the table as she started to explain why she would need more product. She was talking some shit I was trying to hear. More product meant we
