A Match Made In Heaven by Brea isome (good beach reads .TXT) 📕

about having a twin brother, we both thought alike for the most part. There was barely any fighting between us . We was tight like that.

We weren't identical though we did have many common qualities. Both light skin, but I had light brown eyes instead of his darker brown ones, I topped him at 6"3 while he stood at 6"1 . I had a mole on the left side of my mouth, he had one under his left eye .

So much alike.

" get back to work nigga. " AJ snapped playfully.

" nah , man . Im out. Ill be back later though. "

" where the he'll are you going that's so important you can't help yo' brother, nigga? "

I grinned , dropped the rag and picked up my cell phone and keys" I gotta go pick up my girl real quick. "

" who is she this time? "

" yo' this bitch is smart. She a teacher and everything ."

" teacher ? I ain't know you was fucking with ol' nursing home bitches. "

" man, fuck you. Shes 24 . Ima bring her by later at opening time so you can see her. I wanna hear yo" mouth then. "

He waved me off and wiped down the bar" yeah aight ; peace. "

" peace. "

I walked out into the heat. It had to be at least in the 80's . I felt like I was baking, despite the cargo shorts and simple t-shirt covering I was clad in. I was used to it though. Born and raised in the county of the sun, it was nothing for me to walk to my car.

Instead of cutting the air conditioner like most people would do, i rolled the windows down and enjoyed the wind whipping around my head, soothing me.

I had alot of thoughts running through my head.

I really to be going to check on my place of business. I owned 'Aaron's' . It was a clothing store that my father passed along to me before he died. To AJ he gave him the building that he soon after turned into Heaven. My father was a very. . . Succesful. . . Businessmen. One of the best businessmen around in his lifetime. He left us more than we knew what do do with. Our inheritance alone was enough to support both of our families long after we're gone. .

I just had to clarify everything.

I am not a drug dealer , nor have I ever sold aany form of narcotics to get where I am.

I may have dabbled in other illegal things but it never stuck because I never had to.

I pulled up in front of the high school it was 3 on the dot. I saw Mariah being rushed out in the crowd of students.

Mariah was 24 and fresh. She was sexy with chocolate brown skin, standing about 5"11 towering over everyone on her slender legs aand shapely thighs . Not only was she attractive but she had the brains to go along with it. I couldn't get over how I had hit the jackpot with her.

" hey, Ashton. " she kissed my cheek as she settled into tha passenger side of my car.

"Wassup. "

It was too bad I didn't have the same feelings for her that she had for me.

I pulled off. I was gonaa take Mariah out to eat and then to Heaven at opening time.

When we got to the restraunt I opened her door for her like a gentlemen. It wasn't that I really gave a damn about her feeling loved and cared for but I had to play the rold to get what I wanted. We had been dating for 2 months straight and all that was on my mind was what was in between her thighs. She probably knew it too . I mean, I had respect for her for holding out so long but gotdamn she was playing with my hormones.

I opened the restaurant door for her too. She smiled at me , showing a full set of pearly white teeth" thank you. "

Mariah was just like any other woman I had dated . She wanted love, but she was too attracted to the money to find it.

Me, on the other hand, wanted love with a passion. I mean, I have always had commitment issues but that's beside the point. 21 is too old to still be playing the childish ass games I played in grade school.

But love just don't fall out the sky.

" ill have a salad and a water please. " Mariah told the waitress with a small smile on her face.

The waitress turned to me but I kept my focus trained on Mariah.

" is that all? You bbeen at work all day, I know you hungry. Why don't you get something else. "

" no , I had a late lunch so its really like I just ate. "

She was lying. Her eyebrows were knitted together and her smile had drop for a half a second. But I caught it.

I shrugged and looked at the waitress. She was a cute blond, smiling down at me with sparkly brown eyes.

" um, ill have the steak, well done with a stuffed baked potatoe and a glass of anything with alcohol in it ."

" red wine? "

" something a little less formal. "

" beer? "

" perfect. "

She gave me another one of those smiles and I smiled back at her. She was a pretty girl but I reminded myself that I already had a pretty girl. . .

Commitment issues.

But how could I even commit to someone I had no feelings for whatsoever . I only kept her around in hopes that maybe id gain an intrest in her other than whats between her thighs.

We handed in our menus. Mariah was completely oblivious to the moment me and the waitress shared. Either that or she just didn't care.

" what did you do today, baby? " Mariah cooed sweetly.

"I woke up around 12 . I had a long night. Me and some people went out and I didn't get in till late. "

" you and who? "

" just some people, don't worry your pretty little head about it. "

She looked like she waanted to object but thought better of it " okay. So, did you think of me? "

" yupp. "

I thought about gettin' in yo pants , is what I really wanted to say.

Yeah , after today i was definately going to have to cut my ties with Mariah. It wasn't going to work. Sex was all I wanted , money was all she wanted. . . It was pointless. I could tell she careda bout me but it wasn't deep enough for anything to really pop off.

We got our food and ate in silence. She looked displeased with her choice in only a salad but said nothing. I ignored her as she picked over it.

Can someone please tell me what the hell is up with women? I offer her a meanl and all she wants is a starter. I have never asked a woman to stop eating because of me. I love it when my girl eats what she wants and doesn't stop because of me.

Chapter Three

-Saphire-

I lifted my leg and sat it on the chair so I could oil it up just like I had done the rest of my body.

I was dressed in a skimpy ass swim suit that barely left anything to the imagination. The bottom were wedged in my behind so uncomfortably but I didn't say anything. A pair of 4 inch high stilletos were on my feet turning my usually 5"6 height to 5"10 . If it was upp to me I would never wear such a thing, not even to the pool.

I've always been a 2-piece kind of girl.

I ignored the chatter going on in the dressing room. There waas me and 6 other girls. They all had asses fatter than the sun . I could see AJ was an ass man. . .

They were all pretty though. No matter their color , their skin was flawless.

It wade me feel insecure at times.

They were all in their twenties, they all had experience, unlike me.

I pulled the the scrunchy from my hair and let it flow. My hair was jet black, flowed down to about my shoulders silkily. The only thing good about my hair was the it never matted up. I could do aalmost anything and it'd flow right back down.

I checked the time on my cellphone before I pput it in my purse and put my lock back on it. I hid the key underneath a bottle of perfume on my side.

Hoes do steal.

It was 8:45 . I still had 15 minutes before it was my time to go out so I sat down and spun slowly in the chair. Going out there was pretty hard for me. I was good at it but that didn't mean it was something I really wanted to do. I only did stage dances on Saturday so all i had to do tonight was basically play the field ; give dances for anybody with anything above a 5 and do that all night.

I wondered if those men new I was only 16 . And if they did would they even care . Probably not. most of them I had seen for the past week id been working at Heaven. All they wanted was a drink in their hand and ass in their lap. The face of the girl probably didn't even matter to them.

"Saphire. You're up. Come on baby. " AJ pulled me from my chair rushing me from the room and down the long hallway that led to the main club ." I need you to do a special dance for me. "

" who? "

" my brother. "

I wasnt expecting to hear him say his brother. I never even knew he had a brother before that moment so it was all news to me. The main room of the club was spacious ; filled wwith expensive ass chairs and a few tables for men to set their drinks. On the far left was the bar. It has a marble top to compliment the tops of the tables and the floor. Then at the front of the room was the stage. Instead of the usual one pole there were 3 . there was one on the left and one on the right and the last was center stager. I hadn't made it to the center pole yet. Id probably have to have a little more experience first. But I didn't mind. I got jus as much money as the other two.

Next to the bar on the left were 2 vip rooms. I hadn't been in those either . But from what I overheard from the other girl, real shit went down in that room. That's why I was surprised when AJ was leading me to one .

" your brother isn't a perv is he? "

" not unless you think im one. "

" well. . . You do own a strip club. "

He grinned and opened the door to the first room. He pushed me inside gently" have fun. "

-Ashton-

20 minutes earlier ;

I pulled up in front of Heaven and cut the car off. The line was longer than I would have expected. I hadn't been to Heaven in well over 3 weeks. The line had alwayus been pretty thick but not as it was now.

Mariah turned to me" and why are we at a stip
