From out of the gate, Calliope and the manager of the club had never really seen eye to eye anyway, which didn’t make it too difficult for him to fire her on the spot. No dancer with a steady clientele wanted to deal with the headache of moving clubs and possibly losing loyal clients and having to learn the personalities of the other dancers, not to mention adjust to not only the politics but also the poli-tricks of a new club.

In some kind of weird way, she was totally fine with losing her job at the club. After all, she knew too much of the same thing sometimes wasn’t good. On the drive home she began to think how the long nights trickling to the early mornings, sleeping most of the days away, were getting the best of her. She felt she needed to spend some time at home anyway.… She just didn’t really know how much of her home life had fallen by the wayside.

When she walked into the house, an hour earlier than normal, she was greeted with Compton coming down the hall heading into her bedroom with the Dr. Scholl’s foot bath massager in his hand filled with water. Though he despised the kind of work she did, on the nights that she worked, when she got home, just like clockwork, Compton always had the foot bath set up for her to soak her feet. She greatly appreciated it because the heels that she wore at work were not kind to her feet, that was for sure.

While he hopped in the shower, she made breakfast for the two of them so they could chat before he left to go to school. He loved his sister’s cooking more than anything. After he made his way out of the door something hit her. It was like a lightbulb went off in her head when she realized just how that vampire life had taken over her life so much and how the reality of it was that Compton was knee-deep in the streets by now.

All day he was on her mind. She had no idea what to do about it, knowing good and well that trying to manhandle him was damn near impossible. He stood well over six feet tall and had been working out and his body was cut; though not yet legal in age, he looked like a grown man.

Compton was too far-gone, and though she bitched, hollered, screamed, and tried to talk to him until she was purple in the face, there was nothing that could be done. When he came in from school, she didn’t even waste her time on the small pleasantries. She held no punches and shot straight from the hip.

“Look, do you want to go to penitentiary or die in them streets? I mean let me know, so I can know how to prepare,” she shot at him, and kept on going before he could digest the words she had just shoved down his throat.
