Chapter 9 Nine

• "Ma'am we are here." The taxi driver called out, bringing me out of my mild slumber.
• The effect of last night shots were telling on me, my head felt like a hundred soldiers were matching in it. No doubts, I regretted following Debbie to the party. I was hoping the little distraction would help me take my mind off Antonio and his increasing appearance in my life. Instead, it had brought me closer, so close as to sleeping in his home.
• I paid my fare stepping out of the taxi, with my hand above my head, shielding away the rays of sunlight that threatened to blind my eyes. For the first time, I felt really grateful that I only had to work at the club at night. Aside the fact that it gave me time for my school work, it was safer being around this part of the town at night to avoid bumping into someone familiar.
