Chapter 1
“Sean, please go away! I don’t want you to see me like this,” I screamed
,
trying to hide myself against the wall.
“What the fuck you doing
?
”
Sean look
ed
at me as though
I was
a ghost.
“What’s this shit about,
Cam
?”
M
y
dragon sista girl
, Akasha Casidene, came to my defense.
“Ah, excuse me
,
honey
,” she said.
“
I don’t know who you are
,
but you need to leave my sista girl alone. Now
,
just because I’m in this dress and heels don’t mean I can’t throw do
wn. Don’t get it twisted
.”
Sean got in her face.
“Look, bitch, you betta step off before I fuck you up
.
”
This is really not what I had expected to go down. I mean, I still love
d
Sean with all my heart
,
and I just wanted to surprise him with a little song and dance
,
so t
he last thing I wanted was for a fight to break out.
J
ust as I was about to get between Akasha and Sean,
the club
’
s security
showed up
.
“Yo, my brotha, come on
,
man
.
L
et’s chill this out. What’s the problem here?”
While security pulled Sean aside, I grabbed Akasha
’
s arm
,
and we both got back into the
l
imo.
“
Giiiiiirl
, I don’t know what his problem is. Who was he?”
Akasha
pull
ed
out her compact and check
ed
her makeup.
“That was Sean,” I replied
,
feeling sad.
“O
o
h
,
c
hile
.
N
ot the one and only Mr. Sean Mathews?”
“The one and only
.” M
y eyes were beginning to well up.
“My
!
Y
ou said he was
fine
,
and you didn’t lie either, girl
. Hell, the only reason I didn’t kick him in the nuts or his dick was because I thought I might get a chance to taste them lat
er
.
Kee
-
kee
-
kee
-
kee!
”
“
Chile
,
b
oo,”
I replied
,
waving my hand at her an
d wiping my eyes with the othe
“But
,
seriously, do you still wanna do this?”
“I think so,” I answered
,
not sure
of
what I really wanted to do.
“Driver, can you just go around to the back entrance please.”
“Yes
,
ma’am, not a problem.”
Within seconds, we were at the back door entrance. Unfortunately, the door was locked
,
so
my girl Akasha began banging on the door
like she was
the police.
A security guard held the door open for us to enter.
“Ms. Akasha, why are you out here banging on the back door?”
“Thanks
,
Al, but you don’t even wanna know. Oh, this is my girl, Camira Saxton. Tonight will be her first time performing
.”
“
Dayum
,
Camira
!
Y
ou
fine
as shit
,
girl
.C
ome on over here and give
d
addy some love.”
“Al
,
don’t try it
.
Y
ou keep on
and
I’ma tell yo
’
wife on you
.
”
Akasha grabb
ed
my hand and led me downstairs to what I assumed was the dressing rooms. And
,
Lawd
knows, not a moment too soon
,
because Al was a big ol
’,
burly, greasy
-
looking brotha
,
and I knew he just wanted to cop a feel.
“Girl, you got your music?” Akasha asked as we entered the small dressing room.
“Yeah, it’s in my bag
.
W
hy?”
“Give it to me so I can take it to the DJ
to
queue
it up.”
“I’m not ready now. I don’t go on for another hour or so.”
“I swear, you new dragons kill me
.”
“What?”
“Ms. Camira Saxton, the DJ needs to have your music
queued s
o that when you do go on stage, your music will be ready. I bet you probably thought you wouldn’t give it to him until you were about to go on stage, huh?”
“No,” I snapped
,
not really understanding what difference it made.
I handed Akasha my music
to give to the DJ
and began unpacking the outfit I brought to perform in.
I
’d
been rehearsing Beyonc
e
’
s “Single Ladies” for the past couple of weeks, just for Mr. Sean Mathews.
A
s
m
y sista girl Akasha
was
helping me with my transformation into the “
d
rag
q
ueen
w
orld
,
” we both realized just how much I looked like Beyonc
é
,
so
hence the
choice of
song.
But
,
not to toot my own horn, I
looked so much better. Besides, the only thing Ms. Beyonc
é
had over me was her
c
oins,
okay!
I sat in front of the li
gh
ted mirror
and
star
ed
at my reflection
.
H
ow did I get to this point in my life?
“Hey
,
m
a
.
H
ow you doing?” this
gorgeous,
young
,
dark
-
skin
ned
broth
er
asked.
“Ah, hello,” I replied
,
somewhat startled.
“My bad
.
I didn’t mean to scare you
,
ma
.
”
H
e held his hand out to shake mine.
“Oh, d
ear
c
hile, no
,
no
,
no. It would take a lil more man than you to scare a lady like me,” I replied as I held my hand out
,
let
ting
him know he may kiss
i
t
,
as a gentleman should.
