So, I had another dating incident and I wanted to share it with you all. Please, I need advice, so tell me where do you think that I am going wrong? All comments are welcome!
1st, you must know that I am a rap fan, particularly WEST COAST rap. So you will understand what the mild mannered CPA (me) was doing at the club acting like a groupie.
Anyway, this rapper D-SHOT who is E-40's brother was to be performing at this spot in Hollywood. For all the ladies, this brother is FINE and his pockets are on swollen status.
Anyway, I goes up there with a homeboy (Dominique) who I met in the industry. He said that he would have tickets waiting at the door. He wanted me to come and be on his arm for the night. I was like, cool.
On the day of the show, he called me and told me that he was running late so to meet him there. I was like, OK - but just in case, I called my homeboy Big CoCo, who is a professional bodyguard to the starz, to roll over to the club with me.
Now CoCo and I have been cool since I came to Cali. He is like my homeboy. This man goes out to dinner with me, to the Clubs with me, the Playerz Balls, and even will sit with me at the nail salon and wait while I get my nails done (as my nail shop is smack dab in the middle of South Central LA). He is very protective and will volunteer to go with me places to provide me protection. & yes, I need it, trust me when I tell you this!
Now, I am not gonna BS you. I have enjoyed a "personal" relationship with CoCo....over the years. He truly has a seat on my TEAM.
But I digress,
So we gets to the club to see D-SHOT and the guy that invited me- Dominique- greeted us and got us seated....then he was like TOTALLY ignoring me for some other girl - who looked like a bonafide HOOD RAT. Needless to say, I was livid. Because homeboy is a baller and I was seeing the $ signs! I was like, "Hell NAW", I am not missing this opportunity for romance & finance because of no hood rat!
So I was still plotting on Dominique.
Anyway, after the show, my body guard and I were introduced to D-SHOT. Coco already knew him as he used to be the Bodyguard for another rap group called Westside Connection (Ice Cube, Mack 10, and Dub C).
So, now D-SHOT starts digging on me, and I am like WHOA!!!! Alright, NOW, I am seeing $'s--> for real!
Dominique sees this transaction and then tries to claim like I am HIS girl, in front of D-SHOT and.....unbeknownst to me, to CoCo. Now understand, Dominique is fine, with some dollars, but D-SHOT his hitting on the looks and the cash, like MAJORLY.
& I am a CPA, so I likes me some ca$h!!
So now, I have Dominque - who invited me - acting like I am his chick on the side,
I have Coco, who is in lust with me and protects my body looking meaner than a MF.
and D-SHOT , a rapper who has major dough & clout BUT probably wants to treat me like a groupie - but I'm throwing caution to the wind because I am still interested and want to see whatzup.
So what do I do? I access the situation for my own good.
Or I thought I did.
I wind up blowing off Dominque, telling him I will holla at him at another time - after he is done with the hood rat.
I send Big Coco home in the limo - telling him, I will call him in a little while. After all, he is my homeboy & I want him to know that I got home safely.
& I leave with D-Shot and his entourage. We went to another club - and wouldn't ya know, there was 4 other chicks, just like me. Looking to see how we could be down and how we could get a seat on D's team. Looky Loo's Looking for Clues
!!!!!Ok, so now I am a little embarrased. Here I am, paper chasing for the $ and I am about to get myself caught up in a HAREM or even a Ménage Tois!
Anyway, I feign exhaustion and ask to be taken home. D-Shot got his limo to take me, but he decided to go with me.
On the way to my house, some serious things was going on in the limosine. It was hot like fire, let me tell you! ]
(Whhhooo, child!)When we got to my home, Big CoCo was waiting at the gate. When I saw him, it was like an ice bucket was dropped on my head! I came back to my senses real quick!
When he seen that I was with D-Shot, he showed himself and asked me what was up?
Now, both brotha's are 6 feet+ and over 280lbs. It was about to be the rumble in the jungle up at my crib over lil' ole me!!
So, I stepped up and told CoCo, I was coming home so I could call you, suga
.He looked at me like I was BS-ing (which I was) because I was getting ready to KICK IT with D-SHOT, for real! Let the truth be told, at that moment, I was trying to think of a way to get rid of CoCo so I could do just that!!!
- shoot, you better ask somebody!
Anyway, D-Shot must not have liked the fact that I had 2 men try to check him this night on account of me so he gave his excuses and bowed out and left. I wanted to scream out "Don't leave me baby!" As I watched all those $'s drive away.
I have not seen or heard from D-Shot since.
Big Coco is still my dude, but he is treating me real chilly like, right now.
As for Dominique, I have not heard from him since that night.
So what is my lesson from this story?
A bird in the hand, is worth 2 in the bushes?
or
Quit chasing those $ signs and go for the GRAND PASSION. Except that you have to realize, on a body guards income, grand passion may be on a budget!
Now, I am gonna have to go out here and find me another MAN & try to figure out how to keep Big CoCo as my friend - cuz he sure is useful.
Any advice on how to KEEP the next one, since I lost THREE in one night!
Thanks for hearing me out, I had to get this off of my chest. It is weighing heavily upon my mind. I thought maybe my friends on this site could help me sort it through!
Peace,
