CHAPTER 22
EVA
Eva sat on the floor of her new apartment in a daze. She hadn’t moved since she’d run Yvonne off by kissing her. Hours had gone by, and she still couldn’t figure out what possessed her to do something so stupid.
It had something to do with Yvonne rocking her back and forth as her grandmother had. Eva had told Yvonne about the adult films, and she hadn’t pushed her away. She hadn’t been disgusted, like her grandmother had been. Eva had felt a surge of love for Yvonne like she’d never felt for anyone.
And now it was ruined.
Eva glanced over at the discarded DVDs on the floor near her bed. Yvonne had been disgusted by them, and now Eva was, too. They seemed demonic. She wondered why she held on to them. It kind of seemed crazy since she was determined to never go back to that life.
It was only a matter of time before Yvonne told someone Eva’s secret. She’d promised not to, but how would she be able to keep that to herself? How could Yvonne let someone like her live on her church grounds? She was going to at least tell the pastor, of that Eva was sure.
Eva replayed the day in her mind. Everyone had come together to help her move. The men came and moved all her things, and not one of them had made a pass at her. This was shocking, but it had made Eva feel safe around them.
Then the women had come, and this had warmed Eva’s heart more than anything. Her female friends were scarce, no, nonexistent. But they had shown up to help her move, and they seemed happy to be there.
The one girl, Shaquan, had recognized Eva but didn’t remember how they knew one another. Eva remembered. Shaquan had worked at a strip club that Eva had tried before she got into the adult film business. Shaquan was the cook, and she fried chicken wings and fries for the men sticking dollar bills in Eva’s G-string.
Eva wasn’t really worried about Shaquan spilling her secret. Telling everyone would require her to reveal their connection. And Eva also knew that Shaquan did much more than fry chicken wings. She sold exclusive favors in the VIP room, just like the girls who worked the pole.
Eva considered calling Yvonne. When she’d given her the phone number, she’d said to call anytime. She just wanted to say “I’m sorry” however many times it took for Yvonne to forget what she’d done.
Like everyone else that she’d ever cared about, Eva had pushed Yvonne away. And Yvonne had tried to lead her to God. No one else had done that.
Would her life really change when she gave it over to Jesus? What if she was still sad and lonely? What if the sordid things she’d done on those videos continued to haunt her?
What if it did? What if she wasn’t, and what if they didn’t?
Eva would never know what could happen unless she just trusted and believed God and let Him take control.
