CHAPTER 18

Shakita was back in the city and was still broken by all the money she had lost. She didn’t want to go to work feeling all depressed, but she had no choice. She had to keep getting money, hoping to make enough to resolve her problem. She walked into the spa with her sunglasses on not wanting to look at anybody until the receptionist, Monique, called her over. Shakita didn’t want to be bothered but went over to see what she wanted anyway. When Shakita got close to her, Monique handed her an envelope.

“What’s this?” Shakita asked, confused.

Monique smiled. “It’s your check.”

Shakita had forgotten that they got paid every week and needed this money more than Monique knew. She quickly tore open the envelope so she could see the amount.

What the fuck is this? Shakita said to herself as frustration spread across her face. “Is Eric up there?”

“Yes he is. Would you like me to call him for you?”

“Please do.”

Monique smiled, paying Shakita’s anger no mind and placed the call for her. “Yes, Eric. Shakita is here to see you. Okay… No problem.”

Shakita was going to be pissed off if Eric dismissed her visit.

“Here’s your card.”

“Thank you, Mo,” Shakita said as she walked away in a hurry. Shakita couldn’t wait to get off that elevator so she could tell Eric what she really thought about her check. She arrived and entered.

“Eric. What the hell is this?” Shakita said as she held out the check.

Eric leaned back in his chair. “It’s your check. I’m not understanding what the problem is.”

“Eight hundred dollars, Eric! What am I supposed to do with this? You told me I would be making more money than this.”

“Relax, girl. The pay period cut-off day was Friday. That means that check is only for two days. Don’t worry; they get bigger.”

“I can’t tell. I did all that work and this is all I get?”

“You just started back. If you want more money, you’re going to have to rely on your recurring clients. Those men alone should provide you with all the money you need.” Eric spoke unflustered, hoping that Shakita would calm down and see his point.

“What about putting me on the damn purple or black floors? I don’t have time to be depending on tips!” Shakita shouted while Eric remained cool.

“I told you already. Those rooms are not for you.”

“You keep saying that and not telling me why. I need to know why.”

Eric thought for a second about what Shakita asked him before he answered. “Didn’t I give you ten grand the other night?”

“Yeah. But I asked you for two hundred and fifty.”

“What I’m getting at is if I gave you ten and you have been making good tips, you should have close to twenty thousand or more right now.”

Shakita gave him an uneasy look as he continued to talk.

“And if you still had twenty thousand now, you and I both know that you would reach your mark right when you need it. So that makes me wonder if you still have the money.
