Chapter Six:
"Ok, I will tell her but promise me you won't say anything to her before I get the chance to tell her, please." While Ramon and Corey are backstage talking; Jimmy walks up to the bar to order a drink as he looks around the club he notice Janice sitting at the table with her girlfriends and decides to walk over and speak to her. "Hey there, do you remember me?" Janice tries to focus her eyes to see Jimmy better, "oh yes, you're the guy that came to my house a couple of days ago looking for that dragon guy.' Janice says then burst out laughing, "yes, honey that's me and you are totally wasted, are you ok?" "Oh yes, I'm fine, it's my birthday you know, Janice says to Jimmy." "And I'm going to party all night." Janice gets up and starts dancing. Janice stubbles and Jimmy catches her, "oh honey, you have had your limit; maybe it's time you head home." "You ladies have someone driving you all home I hope?" "Oh yes, we have a limo." "Ok well, happy birthday," as Jimmy starts to walk away Janice says to him," hey by the way I just saw that dragon guy you were looking for up on that stage." "Oh yes, honey did you see him?" "He was great wasn't he?" "I don't know, the lights were to bright and to tell you the truth I am drunk as hell so I really wasn't paying him any attention." "Oh I see, well you missed a treat he dances here every night, maybe I can go get him and introduce you too him." Janice says to Jimmy "that would be great, I would love to meet this guy everyone was calling my house for."
"Ok, hold on I'll be right back; I'm going to get him, as Jimmy gets ready to head to the back of the stage the bartender calls him, his drink was ready. China ask the ladies "hey where is Ramon?" "It's getting late and I have to work tomorrow." Coco says "I think he went to the back, maybe he went to get his check from the owner, Tara says "we'll give him 2 minutes if he's not here by then we will go back there and get him." Ramon tells Corey that he needs to leave and that he needs to leave right now before Janice comes looking for him and sees Corey here. Corey rushes to his dressing room to gather his things, as Ramon turns to walk back where the ladies was sitting Ramon turns and bumps into Tara, Ramon nervously says to her "what are you doing back here?" "You can't come back here, its for employee only." "I know but Coco is ready to go, she says she has to work tomorrow, Ramon who were you just talking too?" "I-I wasn't talking to nobody, why you ask?" "Because if I didn't know any better, that nobody sure did look like Janice's husband Corey." "Don't be silly, like we said earlier, why would Corey be here; especially at a gay strip club?" Tara looks at Ramon for a second and says "yeah right." Ramon and Tara goes back to the table and tell the ladies that he is ready to go, as he grabs Janice and help escort her to the limo. As Ramon and the ladies are getting in the car Ramon looks up and sees Corey getting in the car with Jimmy and drives away. "Why that lying sack of shit." Ramon mumbles to himself. Jimmy takes Corey and drops him off where his car was parked. As Corey gets in his car and drives off Jimmy follows him. Corey takes a short cut home in hopes to bet Janice home first, as the limo pulls up in front of Janice's house guess who comes running out to the car to help bring Janice in the house? Corey. "Where are the other ladies?" "We dropped them off first one of them had to be at work early in the morning." Ramon looks at him as if he had the nerve to act like he's been home all that time. "Hey Ramon, let me help you." "Is she ok?" "She's drunk Corey, what do you think?" As they takes Janice in the house and to her bedroom, Ramon looks at Corey out the corner of his eye as he takes Janice's shoes off and covers her up. They both walk out the room and closes the door behind them; Ramon ask Corey "Where did you go after you left the club?" "I came straight home, why?" "You lie, I saw you with that guy Jimmy." "You didn't see me with anyone, you must be mistaken."
"Corey, don't play with me, I don't know what you got going on with this Jimmy guy, I don’t know if you are living a secret life or what. I just know one thing you better not hurt my cousin, I'm warning you." "If you hurt her or those babies I will kill you and that's a promise." “If I see one more tear shad from her over you; that will be your last day on earth.” Ramon says to Corey
Corey says with a half smile and beads of sweat coming down his face, "Ramon, I would never hurt my family I love them too much." "Oh yeah, if you loved them as much as you say you do why are you stripping at the club and why did you leave with Jimmy tonight?" "Oh yes, I saw you; you know what my biggest question is; what are you going to tell your wife on tomorrow especially missing her birthday on today?" "I have that cover I brought her that Pandora bracelet she wanted and I got us two tickets to the opera next week." "Well look at you, think you got it all figured out huh?" "You better have brought her something nice." Ramon walks down the stairs and heads towards the door, "tell Janice I will call her on tomorrow." Ramon looks at Corey and rolls his eyes and walks out the door. Corey locks the door turns off all the lights and heads upstairs to go to bed but just before he makes it half way up the stairs someone rings the doorbell. Corey turns and looks at the door wondering who could this be this time of night. It was pretty late, as he walks back down the stairs to open the door, he's thinking it could be Ramon maybe he forgot something. As Corey opens the door he is surprise to see Jimmy standing on his front porch, "You got to be freaking kidding me?" Corey says, Jimmy smiles and says to Corey, "aren't you going to invite me in?" "Hell no, why are you here at my home?" "Now dragon or can I call you Corey, or do you prefer Professor Drake?" Corey takes a deep breath and invites Jimmy in, "what do you want?" "You can't stay long, Jimmy walks into Corey and Janice's house. "You have a very nice home here Corey, he says as he looks around their home. “Oh are these your babies?" “They look just like you,” Jimmy says as he picks up a picture off the table, Corey snatches the picture from Jimmy's hand as Jimmy laughs at him. "I'm going to ask you again, what do you want and why are you at my house?" Jimmy walks up close to Corey and says "why Professor Drake you know what I want," Corey grabs Jimmy's hand before he reaches for his p***s "Don't you dare disrespect my house, I think it's time for you to leave." Corey says to Jimmy; Jimmy looks at Corey and shakes his head; "alright, I'll leave." But before he lives he says to Corey "this is not over, he turns to walk away but notice Katie standing at the top of the stairs “oh look is that your daughter?" “Hey sweet pea” he waves at Katie. Corey turns and looks and sees Katie standing at the top of the stairs. "Daddy, is mommy home now?" Corey runs upstairs and picks her up , Yes, baby but you have to go back to bed I'll be up in a minute alright."” “Ok daddy, daddy, may I have something to drink please?" "Yes, baby I'll bring you something when I come to tuck you back into bed ok?" "OK, daddy." Jimmy says good night to Katie, Katie waves at him and goes back to her room; Corey grabs Jimmy by the collar and tells him "don't you ever come to my house again, or say anything to my family do you hear me?" Jimmy snatches away from Corey and says "you are in no place to be making threats or demands." Jimmy walks out the house but says one last word. "This is far from being over Professor," and blows Corey a kiss. Corey slams the door and locks it. He is sweating heavily.
