Night Creeper

Toyomi

Toyomi was laid out naked in bed snoring loudly her body was tired from her set last night at the club, she was one of the best strippers at the biggest strip club in the city. It was something about her brown skin, long legs, and full lips that drove the men and women that came to see her at the club crazy.

She originally started stripping just to put herself through law school but once she got her degree she kept stripping because the money came too easy and too quick, she was a true hustler saving up for a rainy day

Toyomi stirred in her sleep when she heard her phone ringing loudly next to her "WTF" she huffed looking at the time that read 5:15am she looked at the name coming across the screen and smiled to herself

It was Milan calling for one of his monthly pop up's she cleared her voice before answering the phone "Hello" she said in a sweet soft voice "What ya lil ass doin' up, you got a nigga over there or sum" Millz deep voice came through the phone

She sat up stretching a little bit with a smirk "Who is this" she said playing it off as if she didn't know "Man stop playin' I'm on my way have my shower shit ready" he said before hanging up

She got out of bed doing as Millz demanded she looked in the top drawer for a pair of boxers and socks, then grabbed a towel and washcloth out the bathroom closet for him.

Toyomi was single as a dollar bill but loved her some Millz he was the only person she could see herself really changing her lifestyle for but he didn't know that and she didn't have any plans on telling him either

She just kept it real casual with him, he would pop up once a month they would have sex, maybe cuddle, or sometimes he just came to check on her and leave her with some money. She loved how he never judged her for being a dancer to provide for her lavish lifestyle

Toyomi was startled out of her thoughts when she heard banging on her apartment door "I'm comin' damn hold on" she yelled out putting her robe on her naked body. She walked over to the door "Who is it" she silently giggled to herself watching Millz get impatient through the peephole

"Toyomi stop playin' wit me before I wake these people up" Millz said in a demanding tone. She flung the door open for him, he stepped fully into the apartment closing the door behind him "Zaddy" she sang jumping up on him wrapping her legs around his waist kissing his lips

Millz carried her to the bedroom and put her on the bed "Wassup Shorty" he said grabbing his things to get in the shower "I got you a new toothbrush it's the blue one" she yelled out to him from the bed he was already in the bathroom running his shower "iight" he said before closing the door

Toyomi took off her robe laid back down falling asleep listening to his shower water running. 30 minutes later she felt Millz get in bed wrapping his arms around her, he kissed her neck and they both drifted into a deep sleep

Hours later...

Toyomi rolled over in bed looking around the room she didn't see any signs of Milan but she smelled him on her sheets, her phone took her out of her thoughts as it started going off back to back it was Milan texting her

Milan:

Had to handle some shit but I left you some money

Be good, stay safe

She read his message out loud and turned to the nightstand where he left a big stack. She sat up grabbed the money and counted it "4500" she said out loud to herself. Although her and Milan had been doing this routine for 2years she didn't know what he did for a living but she knew it paid him well the way he dropped money on her like it was nothing.

She quickly got out of bed put the money in her safe and remembered she was meeting her girls for a late lunch date, she jumped in the shower and started to get ready as fast as she could

When she was done she stood in the mirror looking at her outfit, she was dressed down in a pair of black joggers a black Chanel sweatshirt with black and white Chanel sneakers. She pulled her hair in a low ponytail then put on her diamond studs grabbed her phone and purse before walking out the door.

Her Uber was waiting for her right out front of her building, she had a license but didn't own a car. She didn't feel the need to rush and get one since she lived in the city where everything was in walking distance if she didn't get a Uber or a cab.

The Uber pulled up to this new restaurant uptown that Dominic wanted to try, she hopped out and walked inside heading to the back. She seen Dominic and Mia at the table laughing drinking their mimosas. Toyomi and her girls had been best friends since freshman year in high school it was 4 of them Kennedy, Dominic, herself, and Mia.

Mia was the soft spoken one in the crew the one who always had a leveled head in most of the situations, but that came from her having to grow up quick when her grandmother died she had to step up and take care of herself. She put herself through school to be a Nurse Practitioner while working 2jobs and being pregnant.

Now Dominic was always down for whatever, whenever and always kept her glock in her purse, she had a rough up bringing her mother was a crackhead with different boyfriends everyday of the week that loved to touch and beat on Dom every chance they got, from the moment she was able to be on her own she vowed never to be caught slipping. She put herself through college too earning herself a degree in business management to become a stylist, she worked with some big people from Lauren London to Chris Brown.

Kennedy's up bringing was a little different her parents spoiled her rotten anything she wanted she got, cars, clothes, money, you name it. She was an A&R for universal music group and was always on the move at studio sessions, major events in the music business

Although the girls took different routes in life they remained the best of friends and was always there for each other through the good bad and ugly

Toyomi walked up taking a seat at the table "Hey y'all where is Kenn" she asked the girls while signaling for the waitress

"She's with her new artist Siya listening to some new music she's about to drop" Mia said rolling her eyes

"What hell nah she told me she tryna see what that strap be bout" Dominic said with a straight face and the all burst out laughing

"Since when she fuckin' with girls" Toyomi raised her brow looking at the menu

"Since Cory trifling ass stole everything in her condo that wasn't nailed down, Nigga took her safe too and returned it when he couldn't figure out the combo" Mia said before sipping her drink

"Kenn betta than me I woulda killed that nigga" Dominic shrugged

They sat there talking about everything that was going on in their lives and how they should plan a trip or something for Toyomi's birthday that was coming up

"Toi I'ma take you home" Mia said as the walked outside to the front of the restaurant

"iight cool with me one less Uber" Toyomi shrugged

Dominic walked over to them kissing both their cheeks "I'm out Dave keep callin' me cause he got a show tonight and he hates what his other stylist chose" she said before jumping in her blue tesla coupe

"The bitch done got fancy on us" Toyomi said laughing out loud remembering the days they use to ride on the train

Toyomi jumped in Mia's white Jeep Wrangler and headed in the direction of her apartment
