Stage Eight

Tammy(Dream)

"Can I have this mommy!?" Gabby came running down the isle.

"Stop running in the store." I take the box of fruit snacks she wanted. "Ok pick between this or the popsicles because your not getting both."

She whines flopping her arms around. I just walked off.

"Mommy wait!"

"What did I say about running?" She pouts pulling at her shirt. "Pick one now." She picked the snacks.

"Aw why my bunny looking all sad?" Winter came carrying two bottles of wine.

"She wants two different sweets I told her to pick one."

So my moms friend called me about this house she's flipping. My mom really ran her mouth about me because she basically begging me to come and do the designs for this house. It's a three story townhouse and I've already got an idea plenty ideas of what to do to this place.

But this fear of failure is getting in the way. This is literally my dream job. I don't have to go get some kind of training or whatever I can just get right to it. But what if she doesn't like it? What if the buyers don't like it? What if I fuck everything up!? I just wish I would give myself that push and go for what I want.

"Your total is $88.55 cash or card?"

"Card credit please." My groceries are bagged and I wait for winter to finish.

Gabby skipped by with the box of fruit snacks I put back earlier. "I know this girl did not GABRIELLE!"

She stopped looking back. "Woah woah I bought them for her!" Winter quickly came over just before I could grab her up.

"Why?"

"Because she looked so sad earlier and you know I hate seeing my baby upset." She picked her up walking out.

Winter is always spoiling that girl I don't know why she doesn't just have a kid of her own. We get the car packed and drive back home. It's been a long day and all I really want is to have a simple dinner and cuddle up for a movie before passing out.

"Who's car is that?"

Pulling into my driveway I make sure to take my pepper spray as I go to see whoever this is. A woman gets out and all I can think of is Chase. Is this April coming to start problems?

"Tabitha Robinson?"

"Yes?"

"You've been served." She smiled and walks off.

My heart raced looking at this envelope in my hand. I can't believe this bastard really thinks he's about to take my child from me! He didn't want anything to do with her before or any of the times I tried to get him to see her oh but now all of a sudden he's some super dad?

Getting all the bags in and gabby situated I start on a bottle of wine. While downing my fourth glass in under five minuets winter called out to me. She walks in with chase and hope behind her.

"I missed you ms Tammy." She hugged my legs.

"I missed you to. I love your hair did your mommy do this?"

She shook her head. "Daddy did. Is gabby here?"

I told her she's in her room winter showing her. That left me alone with chase. It's been some time since I've been in the same breathing area as him. Can't lie about missing him. Clearing his throat he slowly came over handing me a pink gift bag.

"What is this?"

"A-an apology gift." He took off his glasses. "I uh...I never meant to disrespect you or make you feel like I thought different because of your job that was never it. We met while at your place of work if I had a issue I wouldn't have even been there."

"Being there and being with me is different. I don't want you spending money on me if it's to show off."

Frowning he grabs my hand leading the way into my living room sitting.

"I really like you Tammy in a way I haven't since my daughters mother. But even with her it wasn't like this. You are head strong, confident, independent, a great mother, smart, beautiful beyond beautiful. I don't care what you do for a living I promise my comments the other night we're not to attack you in anyway."

I know this is all just words. I dropped his hand sitting on mine. His shoulders dropped along with his head.

"It really felt like it but I've already come to understand it wasn't ever suppose to get this far anyway. We're just to different and plus I'm sure all I would do is bring shame and drama to your perfect life."

"Tammy please don't think that. I don't care what my mother wants all she cares about money but that's not me baby I swear. I want you."

Chase

It's obvious she's not believing me. I didn't know my words went this deep to her. If I'd known this would be the reaction I couldn't just kept my mouth shut. Calling myself encouraging her like she did me at the shop guess I didn't do it right.

"Then why did you suddenly bring up my job? Look all this is nice but I already knew this wouldn't work we are just to different and I don't want to tarnish your image with you being with me."

Taking a slim chance I take her hand pulling until she's sitting on my lap. Having some physical may help her see just how serious I really am.

"Remember when we went and had some desserts with the girls? You told me basically to chase my dreams get out this routine and just take chances....you really inspired and encouraged me that day. I called myself doing that for you."

Her eye drop from mine. I lift her back up needing her to see The honestly in my words.

"Your occupation will not stop me from perusing a relationship. Us being different just leaves room for teaching and learning. I want to be with you Tammy and again I apologize for hurting your feelings with my words."

"But-"

"Nothing but nothing. If I'm not worried you don't need to be."

She stood suddenly starting to pace. "I can't I care about you to much to just bring you into the mess that is my life. You have a good one I'm sure there's some other stripper you can save and give a new life to without carrying so much luggage."

"Baby what are talking about? You think this is some kind of charity case for me?" She didn't answer just hugged her body looking anywhere but me. "I brought you around my daughter I introduced you to my mother. They are the two most important people to me...not just anyone meets them."

"Chase please don't make this hard I'm trying to save you." Her eyes tear up.

"What do I need saving from!?" She jumped. "I'm sorry I'm sorry. You are just not making any sense Tammy. I'm telling you I want to be with you and I don't care what anyone says. My status or money will not come between us I can promise you that."

We stood together hugging as she cried into my chest. It's clear something else is bugging her it can't just be my mom intimidating her. Even though she didn't seem to feared while they were together. Maybe I can get them together again for a proper greeting. She wipes her face leaving me just to come back seconds later.

Holding out a envelope I feared the worst even before opening it.

"He wants full custody of her. He has the money and I'm sure plenty of people on his side. I'm gonna lose the only thing on this earth keeping me here everyday."

Sitting she just cried more. Instead of me needing saving it's obvious she needs it more than me. I'm gonna do everything in my power to help keep this family together. Sitting with her I pull her hands from her face.

"Hey I said I would help you through this if he went through with it right? That's exactly what I'm gonna do he will not take her from you I can promise you that."

Stage Seven

Dream(Tammy)

Another tip slides into my one piece as I hand a couple a men their drinks. They all had rings on making me reject any passes they made. I never understood why married ones come to places like this it's surrounded with nothing but temptation why put yourself in the lions den when you know you made a commitment to someone else forever. But that's just me and my broken heart drowned in lies by a unfaithful nigga. I need to get over this dude seriously.

I went back to the bar starting on a new drink that was just ordered from one of the girls. One of the waiter girls picks it up leaving me to start getting my station together.

"So what that just it with you two?" Winter sat drinking on the Long Island I made her. The club was getting ready to close so it wasn't to many coming up for drinks.

She came up for a surprise visit to see me in my new home and also just to check in. It's been just a few days since that night. Chase did apologize again and tried to explain himself but I'm not ready yet. I have to mentally prepare to get this stupid thought of us together crushed right in front of me. If I would've just laid back let this be strictly about the girls I wouldn't have got caught up like this. And it's nothing new for me when it comes to problems like this avoiding them as much as I can...it's what I do best.

"Gabby and Hope are still gonna be best friends I'm just gonna back off. You should've seen how his mom and babymomma looked at me. I just felt so judged then he comes at me about working at another club and...." sighing I wipe down a previous customers glass putting it with the other clean ones.

"You must really like him to stress this much. If anyone else was to say something about your choice of work it's brushed off like nothing." She frowns looking over me.

"Well yeah I do like him and respect his opinion on me."

"So why are you treating him like another Gabe. I've only met this guy once but I can already tell he's nothing like that other dick. You don't think his concern was real and not just him coming at you."

"It's not even that I know Chase is nothing like Gabe I noticed that the day we met. I don't know it just hurt a little hearing him question me like this is below me and I should be doing something better but I'm not. Or just seeing his mom and Hope's mom their both so snobby and stuck up....he'd never want to belittle himself by being with me."

Winter pouts holding my hand reaching over wiping a stray tear. Damn hormones!

But yeah that's the truth I'm scared. Chase is the first guy who after finding out my job didn't run the other way, judge me or try to get something from me. I thought he would be different. Now I just feel like a charity case. Save the pretty girl from a bad lifestyle give her a whole new one.

"You do not need to be comparing yourself to either of those woman because from what you told me about your first encounter I wouldn't want to be around you at all if you were anything like them. And maybe that's something he likes about you why he keeps you around not just for his daughter to have someone to play with. Your different and that's good."

"But why did he question me? This was the first time since we started hanging out that he's said something like this and just so happen to be after his mom came trying to set him up with another snobby rich girl."

"My only thought is he's actually looking out for you. If you talk to him about this dream you have why wouldn't he want to see that happen for you especially if he enjoys seeing you happy."

Damn her and this wisdom she throwing at me. Winter helps me clean up a little more then walks out with me. I'm so glad I have her and to think we didn't even like each other when we first met. Gabe was flirting with her heavy when she started and I didn't like that. We almost fought a few times but then just realized how dumb we would be to fight over a nigga that in another bitch face while we trynna bite each other heads off. That ain't shit nigga was playing us just for his amusement. It just sucks I couldn't walk away from him like winter but then I wouldn't have my ladybug. I swear she's the only good thing I've ever gotta out of meeting that douche.

"Talk to him or at lease let him talk to you. I really like him for you girl after dealing with you know who I think it's time for you to be treated how you are suppose to be."

I stopped for a quick bite before heading to my moms. Being I was just to tired tonight I took a shower then cuddled up with gabby in my old bed. She whined a little before relaxing against me.

*morning* "Hi baby." My moms bright smile is seen as we walk into the kitchen. "I was surprised seeing you in bed when I came to check on her."

Gabby rubs her eyes laying her head on my shoulder. I sit at the table yawning myself I'm so tired.

"Yeah I just decided to stay didn't wanna drive back home tired."

"Well it's nice waking up to my favorite girls." She places a plate of fruit and French toast in front of me. "I've been meaning to tell you about a friend of mine she's starting to do those house flipping and I know you like to decorate and just thought I mention your name to her. She loves what you did here always complimenting the colors and how it's decorated."

"She wants to hired me?"

"Well first she wants to see for herself what you can do. She just got a house and if you want to give it a try..." she shrugged smiling. "It's not me trying to force you into another job because I know you don't like change and the club is where you are comfortable."

"Then what is this?" It's a great opportunity and exactly what I really want to do.

"I'm your mother Tammy I don't like seeing you in an environment like that of a club I know you have so much more to offer than your physical appearance. I want something for you."

Sitting gabby in my seat I walk out knowing she's follow.

"What if I don't think I can do anything other than put on a short dress and make some drinks mom. I have a high school education and only that. Being a bottle girl is all I know the only job I've ever had. I'm just suppose to leave this getting a great pay for a normal ass 9 to 5 so I don't keep making you look bad?"

"No I never said anything like that. I'm looking out for you Tammy my daughter and my grand daughter. How many times have you come to me with stories about men grabbing on you cursing at you throwing drinks at you then tossing a bill like that shit ok!? Not everyone is out to get you...some really care about you and want better."

Chase

Turning hope to me I make sure her small buns are straight and neat. I'm not gonna brag but I can do a pretty damn good bun. I took some classes so I would be able to do her hair properly can have my baby looking crazy out there.

She smiled before running off. Picking up her bag I follow. She's gonna spend her week with April which means I'll be getting some extra work in and some decent sleep. Today though I have a stop to make and I need to be there before I do anything else meaning I'm leaving out right behind April.

And speaking of. "Hey."

"Hi can I use your restroom really quick."

Now that's a small thing but see this woman here never sticks to anything small. She may want to use my restroom but I'm sure there's something behind this request.

"Yeah just make it quick please I have somewhere to be."

"It can't be that important." She flips her hair walking in.

"Hurry please...thank you."

Going into the kitchen I fix myself a quick cup of coffee. This woman drains me every time I'm around her. Five minutes had passed and she still hadn't come out. I'd go up and see if everything is good but I won't.

"Where mommy?" Hope came in.

"In the restroom she should be out soon. What are you guys doing this week?" I lift her onto the counter top

"I don't know I usually just stay with granny but she reads to me every night."

What the hell? So she's not even with her during the small amount of time she has with her. I mentioned before that I am Hope's primary parent I have full custody of her. During the ending process of our relationship sometime after our daughters birth April went off. No one to this day knows where she went or even how long. She left hope by herself only reason I found out is she wasn't answering any of my calls to come get Hope. In court she said she did it to hurt me she wanted me to see what I was doing to her by ending our relationship that stunt itself gave me full custody but I agreed to still let her see Hope. I didn't want to take my daughter away from her mother since there are things I can't teach or do for her like her mother can. She clearly doesn't appreciate this gift of parenthood.

"Hi mommy."

"Hi baby. What is this Chase?" April held a gift bag in her hand. One that was not for her. Why can't she just mind her business for once.

"None of your business. You were suppose to be in the restroom how did you get that?" I snatch it from her. Looking inside I make sure everything is still in here going as far to checking the jewelry box. We all know she has some sticky fingers.

"I was...I went to the one in your bedroom. Who is that for?" She crosses her arms.

"Not you. I have to go now so do you."

"Clearly it's not for me because it's pink you know my favorite is indigo and hope's is purple. Who are you buying gifts like this for?"

"None of your business let's go."

She still stood glaring at me. Why oh why did I cum in her!?

"Is it for that pink hair hoe?"

"She's not a hoe don't be disrespectful. You had no business being in my room touching things that don't belong to you."

Her face softens before she starts pouting and sniffling. Someone save me or kill me which ever works best.

"I just don't get it...what does she have that I don't!? She looks like a fucking clown that's what you want to represent you out here. Some flimsy stripper bitch!" She started crying.

"I'm not gonna tell you again about this disrespect towards Tammy she's done nothing to you."

"Fuck the bitch she's getting in my way."

"For someone who brought this on yourself you just don't understand. You ruined our relationship not me just respect my wishes and move on it's been more than long enough grow up already."

"No I want you! You saw your mom wants us together to be a real family."

"Well I don't want you and my mother only wants me with whoever gives the biggest deal. She'll have me with some other female in a hot second if the dollar signs are right and you know it." I shrug taking Hope down letting her run off. I don't really like arguing in front of her she shouldn't see this.

"Well your being blinded by that chick. There's no way in hell she treats you better than me or even cares about you more than me. She's nothing compared to me and you know it. She's probably scheming to bleed you dry."

"You tried already Id know if that's what she wanted. We shouldn't even being having this discussion it's not your business April."

Flaring her nose she screamed knocking over my mug stand. She then knocks over the pots holding my flour and sugar, a few plates in my dry rack, my oil and vinegar jars, the drawings on my fridge and tea kettle. Hope stood watching with tears in her eyes scared I'm sure. Storming out she pushed pass Hope slamming my door making a few pictures fall from the walls.

Getting the broom I just start getting up all the glass. She acts like a fucking spoiled child!

"Daddy?"

"Yes baby?" I sigh dumping the glass in the trash ben. When she didn't answer I turn seeing her crying with a red face holding a drawing of hers. In the rage of her temper tantrum her mother ripped it. "I'm sorry you saw that...come here."

After I got her calmed down I finished cleaning up. Not even sure what to do right now because I'm pissed but hope is here I can't let her see both her parents acting crazy. This shit is nothing new coming from April she's always fucking something up! I just need something to get my mind off this.

"Hey babygirl you wanna go paint?" It's a thing for us good bonding time.

"Yes can gabby come daddy?"

Mmhm that could work maybe Tammy will let me explain myself finally and I can give her the gift.

[dreamdollxbreezy]

Stage Six

Chase

"You are my daughters mother..you mean that much to me."

"She can not be around my daughter." April pokes my chest flaring her nose. "

"You don't have a say in who i have around my daughter."

"OUR DAUGHTER! I am the only female hope should be seeing you with other than your mother."

Chuckling I just shook my head it's wrong for me to claim her as mine without including her mother huh. She so territorial for someone that ruined her own relationship. April here feels because she birthed my child she is suppose to be with me. I think not us co parenting is what works better. When we're in a relationship she still had this jealousy thing about her and that caused trust issues in us both. She would think I'm messing around with any female with legs and a working heart while felt she was accusing me so much because she herself was being unfaithful.

"April I rather not discuss my personal business with you. Our relationship now is only based around hope and you know this. Even though Tammy and I are not physically involved at all that is not your concern."

She laughed. "If my daughter is to be in her presents constantly it is most definitely my concern. Chase don't act different now....we were doing good getting back to old way the good days."

"I am her primary parent so again you don't that kind of say. And this whatever you are trying to do will not be happening ever again...I told you this. You lost my trust I just can't be with you in that way again."

"I've changed baby and apologized like a million times your mom even forgave my dad. She still wants us together Hope wants us together...don't you?"

"No."

Rolling her eyes she rushed pass me bumping my arm. I quickly check on the girls in hope's room. They were singing to the song playing on the tv. Back down with the adults my mother and April were still here...unfortunately. They just stood to the side whispering to each other. I spent all that time alone with my mom basically begging me to get back with penny. She's so concerned about her damn partners she's willing to pimp out her own blood.

"Do you all need anything else?"

"Give penny another chance I talked with her father and we can work something out for you two so that you both will be happy so will our families." My mother comes up. "You'll have to get rid of the colorful one here."

"I have a name ma'am." Tammy says taking our pizzas out the oven.

"She obviously does not care just leave it be Tom." April rolls eyes standing next to my mother.

"And obviously I wasn't talking to you Apple. All that money can't buy any home training huh?"

The fact Tammy is not afraid of standing up to these two while still keeping a calm and collected demeanor is very attractive to me. She's head strong and about her respect she doesn't let dollar signs impress her.

"You have some nerve-"

"More than you'll ever have sweetheart." Tammy smirks taking out two glasses along with the bottle of wine I picked up earlier for us.

"April enough if you are to be in my home respect my guest please." She frowned at me.

"Ok well what about April it's nothing new plus you have a child together it'll only make things better for others to see you as a family man. Her father and I have been talking about doing business again." My mother grabs my arm. "Can't you do this for mommy sweetheart?"

"No mother I've told you before I'm not comfortable with you pushing me off onto your partners daughter like some product to wooo them. I'm not something to be...pimped out."

Without another word she sighs leaving out. April shortly follows with me in tow locking the door behind them.

"It was nice meeting you ladies hope to see you again!"

"You are something else Ms Tammy." I chuckled taking her glass sipping on it.

"I could've made you a glass sir Chase. You must be royalty or something the way those two act."

"No my mother just likes pushing her handsome son onto others to get what she wants."

She pours more in my glass making herself a new one. I stood between her legs as she sits on the counter.

"Aw mommies pretty little boy is her bait."

"Yeah something like that. Me being bait is how I got Hope."

"Fun." She laughs. "I don't think you babymomma likes me by the way. She warned me to stay away from her child and her man." Her nail pokes at my chest.

"Good thing I'm not her man or under her control."

"That is a good thing I wouldn't want her to be upset about me being all over "her man"...no one likes babymomma drama."

We somehow find ourselves being wrapped up together. My hands rest on her thighs while her arms draped over my shoulders. At first when things like this happened I'd back off but I'm not gonna fight the attraction between us any longer. Not saying I'm going to be asking to be in a relationship but just letting things flow. Whatever happens will do just that.

My nose brushes hers in a eskimo kissing type way. She smiled with a giggle as I squeeze her thigh. The first move was made by me a simple peck to the side of her mouth. Her head turns letting our lips touch. One kiss turns three turns six until it's just no more counting. Her hands placed on my face as our heads angle. Pulling away she instantly shoved her flushed face in my neck.

"You have nice lips."

Chuckling I kiss her neck. "So do you. You hungry?"

"Oh shit we forgot about the girls. Ok I'm gonna just cut up their pizza can you bring them down?"

I help her down holding her in place leaning in for a quick couple more kisses. I might be slightly addicted to this woman.

Tammy(Dream)

Starting the dish washed I dry my hands with a deep sigh. The girls had so much fun tonight I love seeing my love happy and she has been the happiest little thing since meeting Hope.

Despite the uninvited guest earlier I still enjoyed my day with chase. The pizzas were amazing so was the party cake which is just normal vanilla cake but with sprinkles inside. The girls had a slice and two scoops of ice cream ran around for about fifteen minutes then crashed. Chase put them in Hopes bed while I got the kitchen cleaned up.

"They are out it's really cute." He cake back down. "Thanks for cleaning up down here."

"No problem thanks for letting gabby stay the night."

"It's nothing let me walk you out."

I gather my things walking out the door with chase in tow. Putting my things in first I turn catching his low eyes. Dressed in only a tee shirt and black sweats he smiled walking up placing his hands on my hips.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Well I got a new job at another club. The owner was familiar with me from Gabe's so I just basically was handed the job."

"Oh that's uh...nice." He steps back putting his hands in the pockets of his pants.

"Uh what's up?"

Kicking his foot clearing his throat he shrugs. "What happen to the interior designing dream?"

"It's still a dream but bills need to be paid my daughter needs food and clothes. I can't just not work to possibly get my dream job."

"True I just remember you saying something about going for what you want."

Cutting my eyes I step back more. "Where this coming from I thought you understood my situation."

"I do I do it's just...I thought after losing the old club job you would uh reach for something else a little more sortable for you. You have the opportunity to reach that dream you want so bad why not go for it?"

"Did your mom put something in your head while I was gone for five minute? Are you they easy to win over?"

"No tammy I'm just asking why not go for what you want since you speak so highly of taking chances." He shrugs looking at me nervously.

This wasn't something just thought up it seems like a pondered thought likes he's been waiting for an opportunity to bring something like this up to me.

"Because life doesn't hang out success on a silver platter to everyone chase. Some people have to actually work to get where they want to be."

"I hope you don't think I'm insulting you in anyway because I'm not. You know I respect the hunger you have for success and how you put the well being of your family over yourself sometimes. It's something that I really like about you."

He tried reaching for me but I brush his hand away.

"Then why question my job choice? Does me being a bottle girl bother you?"

I honestly wouldn't be to surprised if he was to say yes. I mean look at him a lawyer and me just some club bottle girl. This is so Disney fantasy I'm no Cinderella he's not my Prince Charming. I'm fine with being on my own because I don't need anyone for anything I have myself. This whatever with us would never work out we're just to different. Plus I'm sure mommy wouldn't let her precious deal breaker hook up with a low life like me.

"Tammy-"

"If so you shouldn't have played with me like this. It's been fine with us building up a friendship or whatever this was but it looks like you just can't get pass my job."

"Baby no it's nothing like that I promise just let me explain I didn't mean any harm I swear." He grabs my hand.

"I gotta get ready for work tomorrow I'm just gonna go and uh I'll be back for gabby in the morning."

"Wait-"

Getting in my car I start it up pulling out. I saw him watching me off standing at his drive way.

I don't even know why I'm feeling like this. Just playing myself honestly I need to get back to focusing on what's important. My money and daughter.

[dreamdollxbreezy]

Stage Five

Chase

Tying the apron around her waist I lay a gentle and innocent kiss on her cheek. Turning her lips meet my cheek.

"Daddy help me please." Hope comes over with her small chefs hat undone.

"Mommy what are we making?" Gabby asked.

"Pizza babe remember. Since you girls both did good on the test you had at school this is a personal pizza slumber party for just us."

Our beautiful smarty pants here both got a 100% in a test they individually got in school so I put up this idea. They can't seems to get enough of each other always calling after school. I just love seeing how happy she is with her new best friend. And...spending all this time with Tammy has been great as well.

Things with us are steadily moving in a friendly pace. I decided with Gabe being an ass she needs all the support she can get. He has yet to make any effort with that threat he made which I'm not surprised about. It was just an emotional thing to say since he knows how much gabby means to her. I know personally if Hope's mother ever threaten to take my love away from me it would be war.

"Ok girls let's check everything off. First things first....pajamas?"

"Check!" They had matching Disney princess onesies.

"Pizza ingredients?" Tammy said picking up the pack of pizza dough.

"Check!"

"How about dessert do we have the cake and ice cream?"

"Yes!" They both jumped laughing. It was a beautiful sight.

"Alright let's get started. Tammy if you would cue some cooking music for us please."

She does a courtesy giggling picking up her phone that is connected to the wireless speaker I have. Her hips swing as the music from a movie the girls are familiar with starts up. She dances back over to us bumping my hip on the way.

"Under the sea Under the sea Darling it's better Down where it's wetter Take it from me Up on the shore they work all day Out in the sun they slave away While we devotin' Full time to floatin' Under the sea"

The girls held hands dancing. "You guys are suppose to help us."

"Oh sorry hope daddy. I wanna put the sauce on with lots and lots of cheese." Hope smiled.

I prepared the dough with gabby while Tammy and Hope cut up toppings. Every other second I'd look up at them laughing.

"Mr Chase why do you keep looking at my mommy?" Gabby asked rolling the dough around.

"Well um...your mommy is very pretty." Might as well be honest. Children are way smarter than us adults are willing to admit.

"I know she's says I'm pretty to all the time." She smiles up at me.

"Of course both you and your mommy are beautiful young ladies." I poke her nose making her blush and giggle.

"I like you Mr Chase."

We start pressing out the dough and Tammy bring over the toppings. We let the girls put what they want on one pizza leaving the second for us.

"I saw you over here making my daughter blush." Tammy nudged me smirking. "What were you guys talking about?"

"She caught me taking regular glances at you and I let her know I think both you and your daughter are very beautiful young ladies as is my daughter." Honesty is my thing as you can see.

"Oh thank you. I happen to think you sir are very handsome." She bites her lip putting down a few green peppers.

Stepping behind her I grab the bowl of mixed cheeses. She turns her head watching as I spread it around our pizza. Our hands collide making us both laugh. Turning together our noses rub. The girls laughing catches our attention seeing them watching us.

"Are you gonna kiss her daddy?" They giggled more.

Before I could answer my door bell rings. I wasn't expecting anyone so this is very random. I'm not a fan of in the moment visit from guest.

"Mother....did you call me or something?"

She let herself in along with her plus one. "No just thought I drop by to see my grand baby. Where is my  sweetie?"

"In the kitchen we ourselves have guest." As I'm walking off April makes her presents known. "Yes?"

"Hi?"

"Hello Hope is in the kitchen like I said."

"You don't want to know why I'm with your mother?"

"Not at all. That information does not include anything about our daughter. Why should I be concerned about what you do in your time not with Hope?"

She rolls her eyes walking ahead of me stopping suddenly. "Who are you?"

"Tammy hi. Oh this is my daughter Gabby." She smiled gesturing to themselves.

Both my mother and April looked at me.

"Are you sleeping with my son?"

Tammy(Dream)

"Is that your business?"

His mother made a look of surprise. I know she doesn't think I was gonna shrink back from her. Those pearls and diamonds expensive shit don't mean a damn thing to me. Respect is earned always how many dollars signs you doesn't and shouldn't be a instant respect magnet. I could get all that my damn self.

"Excuse me don't talk to her like that. You don't know who you are messing with." This other chick says stepping.

"I give back what is given to me. What I do with her son is between us it doesn't matter who is asking. Why is it either of you his mother and sister concern what we do?"

"I am not his sister I'm her mother. If you are around my daughter then I have every right to know who you are."

"Oh ok but I told you who I was you didn't even think to introduce yourself honey. You just right on me so again why is it your concern what I do with your daughter father since you two clearly are not together."

These two already getting on my nerves. It's been a great day I've spent with my daughter and now chase and Hope. They not about to come around ruining shit. Mother, baby mamma I don't care no one talks to me as if I'm a nobody.

"Chase why is this woman here with you?"

His mother approaches him. She seems like the overprotective controlling type. Poor Chase.

"She is accompanying Hope and I in celebrating our daughters getting amazing grades in school."

"What happen with Penny she was a lovely girl."

"She also was just another gold digger mother." I saw him look over at Hopes mother.

"And this one isn't? Why haven't I met her until now?"

"I didn't know I was obligated to let you meet everyone I know mother. This is Tammy my friend...this is my mother Joyce and this is my daughters mother April."

Both women look over at me. I could just tell they were judging me.

The smirk couldn't be hidden even if I tried while I wave my fingers. "Girls lets go pick out the movie we're gonna watch."

They both run pass me. In Hopes room I go to close the door as a heel stops it. "Hi mommy!"

She walks in bumping my shoulder. Why oh why must people try me so hard. "Hi baby. You didn't introduce me to your new friend."

"This is Gabby and that's her mommy Ms Tammy." She smiled at me. "She's really nice mommy daddy likes her."

I chuckled shaking my head. Kids are such a hoot.

"More than daddy likes mommy?" This bitch.

"Maybe they almost kissed earlier." Hope tried whispering.

"Ok so what are we watching girlies!? Moana....little mermaid....princess and the frog or Pocahontas?"

"Frozen mommy we wanna watch frozen."

"Ok you guys start watching and I'll go check on our pizzas." After putting in the movie I walk out. The mother took it upon herself to get my attention. "You need something from me?"

"Stay away from my daughter and my man."

"Girl bye. That child is just as much his as she is yours if he wants me around I'll be around. From what I understand he is not your man and never will be again since someone messed up...isn't that right sticky fingers?"

I smirk at her widen eyes. Chase told me all about this one. She damn near tried ruining a family self made business all for a couple of bucks. Now she got the nerve to be all in my face?

"You don't know shit about me. I meant what I said and if I have to say it again we will have a problem."

Walking up I make it known I'm not scared of this bitch. Clearly the money is getting into her head.

"We already have a problem honey. One being your breath...garlic really? And two you are no one to me you put no type of fear in my heart. I've been through hell and back so dealing with a babymomma who doesn't know her place is nothing."

It was a slight stare down but like I said she's no threat.

"April your ride is leaving." Chase came up behind me. His hand rest on my waist. "Is she bothering you?" He whispered.

"No just talking. The girls are watching a movie I was on my way to check on the pizzas."

He nods letting me go I walk off smiling.

"This is what you do Chase? Do I mean anything to you."

Uh...poor Chase.

Stage Four

Chase

I pinch the bridge of my nose taking off my glasses. It's going on eleven and I'm still here in my office. It's a regular thing sadly when it comes to certain cases.

"Daddy daddy!" Hope came running in with penny behind her shortly.

"I told you to get in bed!" She breathed out obviously frustrated.

"No I wanna stay with daddy."

"To bad he's working let's go!"

"You not my mom." Hope stuck her tongue out.

"What the hell penny?"

"Me!? She's the one running around pass her bedtime. This is your kid I'm not doing this shit anymore I can't I ain't no damn babysitter!" She storms out slamming the door making Hope jump.

"I don't like her daddy."

You see on that date not to long ago she came to me completely different. She told me about her plans of starting a business and getting on her own feet. I thought she had changed I guess all negative thought I had just disappeared. That was about two months ago. We started moving pretty fast relationship wise hence why she's around my daughter. Things don't usually go this way I'm very unisex with myself for nothing being more careful.

Closing my laptop I carry Hope back to her room. "Why aren't you sleeping baby?"

"I wanted you to tuck me and read my little pony. That mean girl said you can't so I was gonna ask but she yelled at me."

After tucking her in tight reading a short story and a kiss to her head in out the door on the look out for penny. She's in my living room on her phone.

"Girl this shit is starting to not be worth it His kid is sooooo annoying. I told him I have plans to do stuff like start a business or something but all I'm really waiting for is the night he takes me to bed and I'm set for life...literally."

Should've known. No one changes in a few days I guess I let my guard down to quick. When her conversation was done with I had already gathered her belongings.

"Penny I need for you to leave."

"What baby why?" Her voice reached a high voltage very annoying.

"I over heard your conversation. If your plan was just to get a monthly check out of me I'm happy to tell you that will not be happening. I'll be sure to let my mother know this did not work out simply because you are looking for something I'm not willing to supply."

She cut her eyes at me. Sitting her things next to her heading for my front door. "Are you serious chase it's dark out and your just gonna kick me out like this!?"

"Please keep your voice down my daughter is sleeping."

"I don't give a damn you cannot just kick me out like this!" She through a pillow from my couch.

"I'm not kicking you out Penny I asked you to leave. Please let's do this as adults I'm sorry this didn't work out."

Chuckling she finally gathers her things walking out making sure her hair hit me on the way out. I made sure to watch her until she left just to see her leave safely. Locking my door I make a round cleaning here and there before settling off to bed. A warm shower later I'm under my comforter ready to drift off. My buzzing phone catches my attention.

Tammy:play date tomorrow for the girls?

Myself:yes I'll come by your place we can see what they want to do

We kept in contact since the bakery our daughters really clicked. I'm really happy Hope has a potential best friend plus seeing Tammy is a bit of a great thing for me. She a beautiful woman so for herself a working woman focused on simply supplying for her family. If only more could be like her.

As I start to drift again my phone goes off with a text from Hope's mother.

April:don't forget it's daddy day at Hope's school Friday and I need to speak to you when you drop her off

Myself:ok I got it thanks

I try not to have many non Hope related discussions with her. She was a very important person to me at one point but her true colors were shown. It was her boss that sent her in order to dig up dirt on me and my mother in a way to try bring down our business. My feelings for her were so genuine and even after she tried saying the same I just couldn't trust her once more.

Trust is very big to me being in a business based on getting just that. I can't see myself with someone I can not trust. I respond to both messages then turn off my tv settling into bed.

Tammy(Dream)

My leg bounced with my heart racing faster than ever. I should've known I should've FUCKING KNEW IT!

"Is she here yet?" Winter came rushing in.

"No and Tammy here doesn't want me to call the cops." My mom sassed. "This...boy has kidnapped my grand baby and we're just sitting here doing nothing!"

I rub my temples trying to drown out her yelling. This headache isn't helping with the panic attack I'm having on the inside. There is manic inside begging and pleading to be let out but if I'm in a mental hospital that won't help anything.

Gabe came and got gabby yesterday evening to bond or something. It's been some weeks and I felt I could trust her with him I mean after all she is his child. He had been stopping by here and there trying to get something started. He hasn't introduced himself as her father yet and I don't really know why. Now yes Gabe is a dick with legs...not in a good way but I honestly don't believe he would hurt her. That isn't what we're all panicking about right now. Like I said he got her yesterday evening and was suppose to bring her back later that same day. I haven't heard from him and he's not answering my calls.

Gabriela is my life that little girl carries every being of my will to stay on this god awful planet. So much shit has happened that I'm done but having her gave me something to live for because even though I know she will have my mother to raise her and help her be an amazing young woman she would grow up to be I wouldn't want her to go through the pains of not having her mother.

"Uh those pigs won't do shit for us! One we are black...they don't like us. Two it hasn't been 48 hours yet which is all their going to say and lastly THEY DONT DO SHIT FOR US NIGGAS."

"You better watch that tone with me little girl! I don't even know what the big deal is for you even if they did come you wouldn't be in any type of danger with that pale skin you have that some how looks darker in your own eyes."

Even though they were screaming loud as hell my ears still picked up on the knocking at my door. I quickly run up pulling it open hitting myself with a gust of wind. Chase smiling face quickly changed seeing my not so happy face.

"Oh I'm sorry are we to early?" He questioned stepping back.

"FUCK! Uh where is he!?"

Winter and my mom had stopped their bickering coming to my aid as I dropped to the floor.

"Daddy why is Ms Tammy crying?"

"Uh I don't know. Should we come at a different time maybe."

As I'm basically having a melt down a smaller hand came brushing my hair. Peaking up Hope lip was trembling watching me.

"My daddy does this when I cry. Please stop."

Uh...she remind me of gabby. She kissed my cheek still brushing my hair. I opened my arms embracing her triggering more tears. I need my baby back.

"Who is this?" My mom asked.

"Sorry my name is Chase this is my daughter Hope...we had a play date with Tammy and Gabby. If this is a bad time we can leave it seems like a very serious situation." He says stepping closer to us.

"Her daughter was kidnapped by her father." Winter told him.

"Ok well I know it's hard to hear this but a report can not be made until the 48th hour but I'm willing to help in anyway I can."

Everyone had finally simmered down. Hope stayed in my arms talking to me about anything that came to her pretty little head. I braided her hair to try and distract myself.

I let it happen again...I let my guard down. I let him sweet talk me into giving up my most precious. After all the hurt betrayal embarrassment I still become this weak bitch to him. No wonder he doesn't take me seriously. Before we actually broke up I spent three months telling him how done I was only to end up in bed with him by the night time. Now I've let him talk me into giving up my daughter. I'm so fucking stupid!

If I could just get this hold he has on me off my life would be-

"You got some nerve coming up here smiling!" My mother went off snatching gabby into the house.

"Mommy!" She ran into my arms.

I ignored everything around me just keeping her in my arms. Tears stream as I look over her face.

"Are you ok baby?" I had to make sure not even a hair was out of place and if I find anything and I mean anything wrong even later tonight or this week all hell will be raised.

Chase

Picking up Hope I stood back as Gabe and Tammy's mother went back and forth. The smirk that stayed planted on his face was very uncomfortable.

Tammy frantically looked over her daughter constantly asking if she was ok.

"Daddy what's happening?" My daughter whispered. Giving a small smile I just kiss her head sitting her next to Tammy.

Her mother started to get a little aggressive at Gabe the last thing we need is anything to get physical.

"Look old lady it's best you get the hell out my face you don't want these problems." He chuckled with his hands up.

"Bitch I wish you would. This is just like you worrying my daughter to death keeping her child from her! I should report you to the authorities for kidnapping." She looked at him in such disgust I can tell this show of emotions is not just from this current moment.

"She my daughter to I can keep her how ever long I want. Call me another bitch and imma handle like I should've a long time ago."

"Your name is not on her birth certificate you don't take her to the doctors or put food in her stomach clothes on her back she hardly knows you." Tammy stood slowly coming over. "If anything you are a dead beat sperm donor. Nothing could make you her father I made the biggest mistake entrusting my only meaning of living in your hands. You are still the evil selfish son of a bitch you were while dating. I hope you enjoyed the time you had with her because even if I do want my daughter to have her father you will never see her again. Ever...now get the hell out of house don't even think about coming back."

Chuckling turned into gut busting laughs. Everyone stood watching as Gabe slapped his knee. Her mom shook her head walking off. Tammy still had tears dripping down her face with her fist balled up. Taking the first step to breaking this tension I approach her.

"Hey...why don't you take the girls to Gabby room." I slightly grip her upper arm. Her eyes stayed fixed on Gabe as his laughs finally start dying down.

"I want him out."

"I'll handle it." Taking her hands I kiss them both catching her eyes. "It'll be ok I promise."

They glisten from the tears sitting in the corner of her eyes. As it falls I wipe it away. She gathers both our girls climbing the stairs her friend following looking back at me once.

"Damn so this what friends do? Huh Chase you playing captain save a bitch now!?" He came up to me invading my personal space.

Stepping back I kept a straight face. "She's not a dog so don't address her as one. She and her daughter are friends to me and mine that's all."

"Yeah right. But hey I don't mind at all I'm all for sharing so you take my slopping left overs just let her know since she wants to keep my daughter from me I'll be taking that ass to court."

"Do you really wanna do that Gabe? She's just protecting her child who if I can bring some reminders to you...you not only have not been even the slightest involved and just now meeting her but also went against her wishes as her legal binding parent. She already mentioned your name is not on the birth certificate so you have no rights what's so ever to that young lady. There's no way you can prove you've been a father to that child and honestly your ass should be in jail for kidnapping."

As you can see children are something special to me. I've been in plenty of cases with parents incapable of taking care of their own responsibilities. It makes my skin crawl seeing the emotional, mental and unfortunate at times phisyical abuse these children are put through for someone's unwillingness to simply growing the fuck up. Excuse my language.

"Oh shit! Goodie goodie Boy Scout is getting big! Over that bitch!" He points towards the stairs.

"I think it's best you leave like Tammy requested before."

There was a silent stare down before he nods heading back to the door.

"You've picked sides Boy Scout and it's the wrong one. Bros over hoes all the fucking time no matter what. Pussy don't turn me against my niggas."

"This has nothing to do with what's between that woman's legs Gabe I have not touch her in that way. It's a matter of right and wrong."

"Ok I see how this is. Ay Tammy I hope all that pole money gets you a good lawyer babygirl!! Oh and yo ass fired bitch don't bother showing up tonight!!"

"She doesn't need your slimy money. Please leave."

I locked the door heading up the stairs seeing her was clearly off the property. All of the women and both girls sat in what looked to be Gabby's room.

"Is he gone?" Her mother was the first to ask me.

"Yes ma'am I made sure of that before coming up. Are you all ok?" Scattered answers came at me.

I sat watching Hope and Gabby playing with a pretend tea set.

"He fired me?"

"Yes and threatens to take this case of your daughter to the courts." She drops her head. "You have nothing to worry about Tammy."

"How can I not worry Chase? I just lost my job the only job I've had...I'm sure I can't afford a good enough lawyer. He's gonna try and take my life from me he didn't even care about her before and now suddenly he thinks he's good enough to be the only one she relies on?"

Her friend and mother move into console her.

"Like I said you do not have to worry. You have these women here along with myself supporting you there is always other places of employment for you."

"What if he actually goes through with this court bullshit?" Her friend questions.

"I'll cover that."

"You know a good lawyer?" Her mother asked.

"I am a good lawyer."

[dreamdollxbreezy]

Stage Three

Dream (Tammy)

The guy tucks a bill in my hand winking. "Can I get a room with you?"

"Sorry honey I don't do that just a bottle girl." I smiled turning.

I was in the business area today which is basically the classier part of the club. Mostly the business people or those who want to hide come back here unless they wanna put on a show then they go out to the main floor. As I'm walking out men and women slide me bills and just to be nice I'll kiss a few on the cheek.

"Dream girls day tomorrow? I wanna hit up this day party." Winter says walking with me linking our arms.

"Yeah sure I'm down. So guess what?"

Reaching the bar I walk behind it starting to wash a few cups.

"Bitch what?"

"Gabe finally met gabby face to face." She frowned. "Yeah I know now he claims he wants to be in her life."

"You gonna let him?"

"I don't know."

I want gabby to be able to know both her parents but Gabe is such a flip flop he changes his mind so often it's ridiculous. If he's gonna be involved he needs to give his daughter his 100% all. He can't come and get her just any random time.

"Well I say see how it goes for a couple months and if he fucks up put his ass on child support like you should've soon as she was born."

Everyone has been telling me this! I get it but I don't have the patience to deal with Gabe and his bull. Knowing how slimy he can be I already know if I do decide to take him to court things will not go smoothly.

"I just want gabby to have a care free happy life. I know what it's like growing up without a father yes I had uncles and what not but-" this topic is always touchy for me.

Yes I grew up without having my father in my life and yes I turned out pretty good. That's not how I want to raise my daughter I want better for her. My eyes tear up as I blow out my nose. Crying pisses me off to the max I've done it so much before it angers me now. Winter comes over pulling me to the back hugging me.

"I just want to give her the world and it's like.....I just....damn it man!"

"Calm done babygirl it's all right. You are an amazing mother no one can take that from you. You have always given your last and very first for that girl and if Gabe doesn't want to experience this gift of a child with you then his lost. I understand you want to give her everything including a family but don't be so desperate and give her a broken one."

Damn she's right. What's the point if I know Gabe and his ways our "family" wouldn't be anything less than terrible. I took sometime to touch up my face just getting myself together. There's nothing sexy about tears.

"The hell you doin back here?"

I sigh turning to Gabe. "Just had to get a breather."

"Oh well uh does your mom have gabby?" I nod. "You mind if I come see her tomorrow?"

"I guess if this is gonna be a regular thing then-"

"Woah slow down I just met her let me feel out this whole father thing then we can start talking arrangements and shit. Until then get back out there we got drinks to serve." He claps walking back out.

God I hate this man. At the bar a few people were sitting and waiting. Pulling my top up I approach a duo of guys. "What can I get you gentlemen?"

"Something dark and light ice please sweetheart."

Nodding go making drinks moving swiftly between other bartenders. My shift ends at almost three. I change into something more appropriate and comfortable. My mom and gabby were both out cold when I got home. After a well needed shower I cuddled up with my lady bug it's honestly my favorite part of the day. She instantly cuddles more into me.

The next morning I made breakfast dropped my mom at work then me and my babygirl went to the park. It wasn't to hot but still some cool winds here and there so I put a small jacket on her. Seeing where we were gabby clapped squealing. I got her happy self out her car seat heading for our favorite this zip line...thing.

"Ok hold on tight...ready?"

"Yes!" I run with her laughing extremely loud. "Yes!"

"Again ok come on." Six more times later then came the slides and monkey bars. Now she's in the sand pit.

Being way to tired to join her I sat on a near by bench. I watch another little girl walk up playing with her.

"Dream?" Sighing I hold off turning at that name. I hate seeing people outside those club walls.

Slowly I turn expecting to see one of the creeps but it was Gabe's friend from a while back. How did he remember me?

"Uh hi Gabe's friend right?"

"Yeah Chase. I'm sorry for addressing you by your...work name but I didn't get the other."

He smiled down at me. His eyes revealed once he lifts his dark shades up. "Uh yeah I don't usually just tell my name at work."

"Understandable I don't want to bother you just saw a familiar face and thought I'd say hello."

"Oh no your fine...I'm Tammy."

Chuckling he sits keeping a distance. "Beautiful name. What's got you out here looking so radiant?"

Blushing I wave off his little flirty comment. "I'm here with my daughter spending time with her before work tonight."

"That's beautiful which one is she."

"She's running right there in the pink. That's my little gabby she's three."

"Oh she's beautiful looks like she's found a friend to. That's my daughter her names Hope."

They laughed together picking up leafs throwing them around. "How cute. I never would've thought you have a kid."

"Yeah well her mother and I are not together just strictly co parenting. She's my everything." He smiled watching them.

"That's great two adults acting like adults owning up to their parts. Must be nice."

"Uh oh I'm guessing you are not in the same boat?"

"I wish I could say gabby has her father in her life it's all I want really and not for me because I can't stand him now but for her she needs that male figure in her life."

Uh how pathetic could I be coming off right now!? Just spilling at the tea on my sad little life to a man I gave a lap dance to. Shot me now.

"I get it definitely a father is just as important to a daughter as he is to a son. She needs to know how a man should and shouldn't treat her, he should be her first look into true love and of course be her protector. I strive to be all that plus more for my daughter but I'm sure this guy will come around." He says patting my knee.

"Daddy look it's a butterfly!" His daughter Hope and gabby both came running to us. "It's blue and yellow look!"

"I see baby it's a very beautiful butterfly. You wanna introduce me to your friend?"

She smiled bright hugging gabby. "She's gabby daddy and she likes yellow just like me!"

"That's awesome baby this is her mom Ms Tammy." His daughter smiled wide waving.

"Can gabby come get cupcakes with us daddy please!"

"Cake?" Gabby looked at me. "Mommy please."

"I'm taking her to our favorite bakery where they have there hello kitty cupcakes she loves them. We could use some company if you'd like to come."

Chase

Opening the door I let all the ladies in first. This bakery is run by a old client of my mothers. She helped her keep this place when going through a nasty divorce. It's a nice small place that smells heavenly at all times since everything is freshly made.

"So uh they have cups cakes, brownies, cookies, pies you name it. My favorite is that strawberry brownies." I point out different things to Tammy.

"My favorite customers I was hoping I'd see you all sometime this week." Ms Stew came from the counter as Hope ran up to her. "I bet I know what you want."

"Cupcakes! My friends wants one to."

"You have to ask her mommy first baby."

Tammy and her daughter stood at the counter looking at all the desserts in the glass box.

"New friends?" Ms Stew came hugging me.

"Something like that." I shrug as Hope goes over to them. "We met at the park."

"She's a beautiful young lady very colorful. Are you still single?"

"Yes ma'am. I'm just focusing on my work and daughter right now."

She laughs rubbing my arm. "Your mother says other wise. She was here yesterday telling me about another young lady...she's trying to set you up again huh?"

"Yes ma'am but I'm really not feeling this one. She's a freeloader you know I can't be with someone like that it's just not something I want in a woman."

Penny is nice and all but she's not my type. I plan to break this news to her if this next date doesn't go well. I find it best to just be straight forward. All I can hope for is she takes it well and like a lady.

"Don't force it then let her know she's just not right and try talking to your mother again." She pats my back heading to the counter. "Ok I know what my favorite customers want...what will you two beauties have?"

"She'll have whatever Hope has and me I'll try the chocolate dipped cheesecake." Tammy goes to reach for her wallet.

"No no no I got this."

"Chase it's ok I can-"

"I insist." I slide my black card to Ms Stew.

"It's ok sweetheart it's only the gentleman like thing to do and he is definitely that."

We sat at a table waiting for our desserts.

"I'll have to pay you back for that."

"I won't except it." She rolled her eyes smiling. "You really have a beautiful smile." Her cheeks redden.

"Thank you. Looks like our girls are getting along great."

Turning I see them standing at the counter pointing at different desserts. Looking back Tammy had such a lovely look as she watched her daughter. The love was so clear and there. I'm sure it's the fact she's raising her as a single mother making her this way. I know for me Hope is the main reason I breath. The relationship with her mother and I is not something to reflect on but seeing what came from it makes me the happiest I can be.

"We might have some best friends here. Hope doesn't usually connect well with other kids so this is amazing."

"Oh Gabby to she's so shy and to herself. I'm sure she gets it from me believe it or not. I know my job may make that seem false with how I dress and flirt with damn near everyone you'd never know I'm so closed in."

"Your place of work doesn't always have to speak for you. Looking at me you'd never guess my job being that the word on it is everyone is heartless and out for blood money." I shrug.

"Your what a cop?"

"Close lawyer. Passes down the family it's all anyone does I really didn't have much of a choice." She frowns. "My life was basically planned out before I was I'm destine to do this and only this."

"What would you be doing if you did have a choice?"

"Honestly...I don't know I've never tried at anything else."

"Wow. For me if I was to be somewhere else I think I'd like to be a interior designer. I live for decorating and making things feel like home and like a place you can love forever."

Watching look off obviously picture this out had me smiling right along with her. She has dreams and plans. She working to get where she wants and even though what she does now clearly is not the best she making her way through it. The sacrifice is beautiful on her.

"I'm sure one day you can get there. It's never to late to follow your dreams."

"Well I want you to find something get out of that rut your in live life to its fullest. Take chances all that shit!" We laughed. "Oooooh this looks amazing."

Ms Stew sat our food in front of us in plastic to go containers. "I put a little extra love in it for you I just know I'll be seeing you a lot more." She pinched her cheek winking at me.

"Yay cupcakes!" The girls came running over. "Ooh it's pink mommy look."

"I see baby taste it." She cut into her cheesecake breaking the chocolate. "Mmmm oh my goodness...this is amazing.

She truly is just that.

[dreamdollxbreezy]

Stage Two

Chase

"Chase my office please!" My mother voice came through my phone quickly.

Sighing I set my current file down standing from my desk going to exit my office. A number of morning greetings are tossed my way as I am making my way through the building. Banks Law is a family business started from the ground up by my great grandfather passed down to my mother. In years to come being that I am an only child the law firm will eventually fall into my hands of caring.

It was probably no changing me being a lawyer with just about every family member I've known happens to enter the lawyer life style everything about law was constantly being thrown at me as to give me no other options. I'm not complaining to much since I'm good at what I do but it's all I know. My life was planned out before I was.

"Ah my beautiful boy just as handsome as I remember." My mother beams standing from her desk making strides my way.

"Hello mother." After a hug and loving motherly kiss to my head she send a bright smile my way.

"This is the daughter of a partner of mine who is new to town. Penny my son Chase." She introduces here.

As I was raised I greet the young woman with a kiss to her hand. She smiled taking her bottom lip between her rows of teeth.

"Hi...you're mother speaks very high of you as a hard hitting lawyer and gentleman." Her blue eyes roam my being as I slide my hand out of her hold.

"Well she has always been the bragging type. What brings you to this wonder place of dreams?"

"I just finished school and moved back to my home to be with family. My dad set this whole thing up with your mom...they think we'll enjoy each other's company to the fullest." She walked her fingers up my arm batting her lashes.

My mother had snuck herself out leaving us to ourselves. None of this is new to me since my 18th birthday she has been sending woman my way to engage in a relationship with. A total of two have made it pass the two month mark with one who reached six months that is until is was uncovered she only came to bring down this long lived business.

My full interest is in my work right now. A relationship is not what I need plus I can't seem to find a woman to fit my needs. Any female can give sexual pleasure but what I want is someone to connect on a mental level with a hunger of success. I want a life partner and it just seems some of the woman of this generation don't fit that title.

"Well uh I guess we can go grab some coffee." I gesture towards the door finding my mother peaking in smiling ear to ear.

"A date already?"

Before I could answer Penny stepped up grabbing my hand leaning her head on my shoulders. "What can I say a match made to happen."

My mother gushed at us. It took every bone in my body to continue my gentleman like ways. I have a very strong dislike for people speaking for me.

"We're just going to get coffee mother I should be back in about fifteen minutes."

"No no don't rush enjoy this time together."

"Work is to be done mother. I'll be back."

It was a short walk just a few blocks to a cafe. She insisted on holding my hand the entire walk there which I was not 100% for but I let it happen. I held the door open for her to walk through. She bites her lip yet again...maybe it's a nervous habit or something. My normal order was made a straight black coffee and apple toffee crisp while Penny got a fruit nut and cheese cup with a filter bottle of water.

"So how are you liking you're return to home?" I start up a conversation.

"Great since I'm done with school it was so stressful." She rolled her eyes sipping her water through a straw.

"Have you looked into any jobs yet?"

"Oh no I don't work like ever. My father has made known I'm entitled to being treated so now that I've finished school I'm on a husband hunt."

"Ok.....if I can ask what did you go to school for?"

"I think it was literature. My dad picked it out and I just went."

Oh boy. "Ok so uh what do you look towards to in the future?"

"Me and my husband with our two kids will be living a great fancy almost Hollywood lifestyle. It'll be like a real life fairytale." She said looking off in a daze.

"So you wanna be a house wife?"

"It's my dream."

Tammy (Dream)

Finished lacing up my shoes I move to my vanity to start on my hair and make up. My angel sat on my queen sized bed babbling at the little mermaid kids show chewing on her berry Cheerios. The smile that plastered on my face is my favorite part of looking at her.

Gabby is truly the only source of happiness I have left in this world. Hell she is my world I love her with everyone none in my body. Hearing her laugh makes my heart skip a beat. Even though I'm not proud of how she was brought into the world or who she happens to also share blood with I couldn't wish for a better gift.

"Mommy loook!" She yelled out getting my attention. She's not that talkative for her age.

"Yes love bug?" She started babbling still looking at the TV. Her small arms go to reach for the remote. "Ah no no leave that there."

Looking at me she frowned. "I can't here."

"Yes you can it's loud enough." Going back to my face finishing my eyeshadow. My phone rang but it's who called is that ruined my mood.

"10 o'clock tonight I need you on the pole then behind the counter later on."

Sighing I put it on speaker and start on my hair. A pink bob cut wig was my choice of the day. "It's my day off I'm not coming in."

"If I tell you to you better have your fat ass in this club! I'm not playing games with you Dream."

"I'm spending time with my daughter jack ass so call one of the other girls because you won't catch me in that bitch at all today now get off my damn phone!"

"Man forget that damn baby! Pass her over to your mom like usual and get down here I need you tonight Dream....don't let me down baby."

My blood boiled as my hand squeezed my flat iron. Everything after that first part went ignored. This man is such a sorry excuse of a male the head fuck boy king of the dead beat dads. I still question what made me spread my legs for this guy. Yeah he's attractive in a physical way but he's a ass like his face and personality don't match at all!

"You really are a piece shit Gabe. I'm so glad your not in her life because I'd truly never forgive myself for having such a low life like you around her. To think I thought you would eventually step up to your responsibilities like a real man but you still just a little immature boy. Fuck you and I truly mean that from the deepest part of my ass go to hell bitch!"

I hung up shaking off that negative energy the devil tries to put on me. I've already made a promise to myself that when I've saved up more than enough I'm quitting that shitty job taking my ass to school and getting a better job.

I'm not gonna say real job because what I do is a real job. It's not the most highly looked on but I make money to take care of my family being me and my child. Sometimes I would get upset and offended when people came at me for my job choice. But then I finally obtained the "fuck you" attitude where I just focus on me and living my life. People don't understand how stressful worrying about others can be putting so much time and effort into trying to tell me how to live my life. You just gotta move on if you see something you don't agree with that fine keep it moving. Don't waste precious time and breathing on being a  troll that's such a terrible way to live life but at the end of the day all I can do is me worry about me and my daughter not anyone else.

"Alright my love bug....mommy is gonna spoil you rotten today." She blushed covering her mouth.

Working at night isn't so bad I mean she's sleeping at night so I get to spend even more time with her when I'm not working but I'm off today so I'll get to tuck her in and watch her dream peacefully.

To begin our day I stopped at my favorite cafe for a fruit smoothie and some oatmeal. As I'm sitting waiting for my food the chair in front to pulled out.

"I knew I'd find you here."

Rolling my eyes I focus on gabby. "So what should we do today? Shopping....movies.....go to the park?"

"Movies!" She yelled throwing her hands up. I'm glad she's ignoring him just like I am.

"Your coming into work like I said."

I continue to ignore him getting on my phone pulling up Snapchat it's her favorite app. Going to the filters I turn it to face us both. "Smile pretty girl! Awww look how beautiful you are."

She laughed reaching for the phone. "Butterfly mommy."

It was some silence from the other side so I figured he left until I looked up. Gabe face was just blank as he stared at her.

"Her name is Gabrielle if you wanted to know.....she's three her birthday is in June."

"I honestly thought you were lying about having my baby."

"What reason do I have to lie to you Gabe honestly. Could you just stopping thinking the world spins for you just once in your life...just once."

"There's been a number of woman who claim my baby just for a easy check." He shrugged leaning looking at her closer. "She looks like you."

"We were in a relationship I thought that would instill some trust in you being that I stupidly stayed after you cheated on me what four times. But I'm the one that can't be trusted? Ok."

Pulling his chair over he sat right next to us.

"Hi." Gabby waved moving closer to me.

"Hi....can I hold her?"

"For what? You want nothing to do with her remember?"

"Man just let me hold my damn daughter."

"Oh now she's your daughter!?"

Smacking his teeth he reached over taking her out my lap. Gabby looked at him them at me stretching her arms out. "I guess she isn't to fond of new people."

"No duh can you just leave us to our day please." The nerve of this fool. "I want to enjoy my day off."

"You think I could see her more? Now that I know she's actually mine I wanna make up for time I've missed."

Is he serious?

Stage One

Dream(Tammy)

"Tale as old as time Song as old as rhyme Beauty and the beast. Is she sleep?" Peaking around I make sure no one had walked up to the bar.

"Yeah she was out before you finished. When are you gonna be back today?" My mom questions in a whisper tone. The sound of a door closing tell me she's walked out of gabby room.

"Probably around three...he asked me to stay for some party that's coming in. His exact words were he needs all his top stars on board tonight no excuses." Rolling my eyes I sigh looking at the time. Just going on eleven.

"Why don't you just quit this so called job and use the time to go to school or get a different one? You have more to you than your body Tammy to use you are a very smart young woman."

This discussion has become a daily thing. I use to get so upset but she's my mom and just looking out for me.

"I know mama but I need this money so me and gabby can live comfortably."

"I don't like this job why not just put that no good boss of yours on child support like I said when gabby was born then get a new job."

"Mom you know he wants nothing to do with her and I'm not gonna force him. If he doesn't want to help raise the child he had part in creating then so be it. I don't need him and I'm not gonna rely on him for anything."

"You already do tam by working for him."

Damn it...she's got me. But I still stand my making my own money instead going through that whole process with child support. I don't need someone to tell me how much I need to take care of my child putting a limit on both our lives.

"I'll think about it mom but I gotta go."

"I know you won't...I'm just looking out for my girls. I'll see you when you get home."

The next few hours I was making drinks left and right delivering bottles to tables. Guys buy me shots to take with them gets me a little lit. The music gets me even more turnt and got me dancing.

"Dream the party in back needs more bottles! Gabe is back there to."

Picking up the bottle I carry the trey to the further part of the club. On the way bills are flying everywhere. My girls on the stages were killin it! I spot my best friend doing her signature move making bills rain down on her.

"Bitch you better work!"

Reaching the back after pushing through the shimmery streamers and winking at my favorite body guard here Pat. He's the sweetest like a big brother to all the girls here. He's nothing like the other douche bags that work.

"Finally the bottles!" Everyone cheers. I set a bottle down on each table.

"Dream come over here!" I sigh deep and put on a smile. "There's my favorite I got someone special here who needs a dance."

Gabe smirked coming up standing by my side. I cringed trying not to make it noticeable how much I despise being in the same breathing area as him. He grabs my waist pulling me closer into him.

"You know I'm not a dancer Gabe don't put me on the spot like this. Why didn't you call one of the dancers over?"

"You do what I tell you to do if I wanted one of those bitches I would've had one come over right?" He whispers squeezing my hip. "Now put down the trey and shake some ass for my boy here. It's his birthday!"

The guy was being yelled at by his friends while waving them off. His hat sat low hiding his face.

"I told y'all I don't want a dance I just came for a drink. This isn't my type of scene sweetheart I'm sorry he put on the spot like this." He stood coming towering me.

Lifting his hat he looked me over just a second then smiled.

"Man stop playing she don't mind it's her job. This right here is Dream everyone's favorite she's my top priority around here."

But your daughter isn't? Ok.

"She obviously doesn't want to I'm not gonna make her uncomfortable." He rubs the back of his head shyly.

"Please she'll be good. Look at this ass man you can't tell me you don't want some." Gabe turned me slapping my ass with what felt like some bitter emotions behind it.

"Ouch you asshole that fucking hurt!" I pushed him making him grab me by my arm.

"Aye come on now stop leave her alone man what's wrong with you!?"

"Ok Boy Scout I'll go easy on her as long as you go to the private area and get a personal feel of why she's the best around here."

He looked at me and shrugged. Gabe nudged me clenching his jaw. Taking his friend hand I lead the way back into where the private rooms are. On the way Mya and I caught eyes. She pouted blowing me a kiss.

Chase

If anyone was to be able to see my insides right now? They'd think I was having a heart attack from how hard and fast my heart is racing right now. I've never been to a gentleman's club prier to this current day.

It's my 25th birthday and my old friend Gabe who runs this place something I never knew basically kid napped me with the help of my friends. Dragged me into this place forcing drinks and smoking objects to me left and right. I'm new to all of this and quit out of my comfort zone.

The stripper said be Dream had a hold on my hand. It was kind of funny seeing the size difference in our hands. She's a very beautiful young woman just making me wonder what made her turn to this type of employment. Not that there's anything wrong with it because everyone is free to do as they please it's just I thought I'd see her on a magazine cover before behind a bar.

"Sit right here. Do you want another drink or a cigar or something?" She stood in front of me.

"U-uh no I um think I'm fine for now."

Smiling she came leaning down her hands rest on my knees. Locking eyes I swallow hard letting out a deep breath.

"Are you nervous baby?"

"A little....I've never had a lap dance before." I confess.

She smiled again making butterflies suddenly appear in my gut. Her long nail brushes over my bottom lip.

"Ok well I'll make sure to take good care of you then. Just remember no touching."

"Well I know you didn't want to do this at first I don't want you to force it."

Giggling she sat on my lap taking my hat off running her finger over my low cut. "Your right but I'm happy to be your first lap dance."

She kissed my ear sending chills up my spine. Keeping my hands to my side I let her do as she pleased moving her hand over my chest sinking her nails into my neck. I grunt making her moan back in response. Her hips start to move in a circle motion slowly. Lifting her head I watch her teasing my lips with her glistening ones.

Watching closely her body sways up to the small pole stage gently taking a hold of it arching her back. Shaking her ass cheeks I grip the chair I'm sitting in. The music playing around us influenced her movements on speed and rhythm. I sigh adjusting my sitting setting my hand in my lap but quickly moving it.

"Like what you see?" She looks back twerking her ass.

"Y-yes."

As the song changes she steps down from the stage strutting back to me. Straddling my lap again rubbing her nose over mine giggling. "Did I wake him?" She refers to my now fully erect member.

"I guess so." Nervously chuckling I try calming myself down. She got me feeling like a hormonal teenager.

"Well since it's your birthday I think it's only right you get some special treatment...right?"

Next she started kissing my neck biting my ear making me groan and grab her waist. Her hips move in slow circles as she moans things into my ear.

"I-I um....fuck." Moving my hands down to her ass I get a good hand full grip.

I can't believe I'm doing this.
