[i]The birthday dinner date at Giovanni's with Wesley Harmon...[/i]

Thankful that her act was a work of art and no one could see who the woman was behind the makeup, the [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/ed/2d/97/ed2d9751662d8a85e977a4862aa7d27d.jpg]outfit[/url], and the wig, Nana took tiny bites out of the Caprese Salad with Pesto Sauce which was only the first course. The mother was going to make sure she had plenty of food to take back to Jude. Her relationship with the Underboss was all fun and games. She would tease him and he'd chase after her. Though, Wesley Harmon was easily misunderstood by most of Millington because of his wealth, power, and reputation. There were plenty of nights for Nana to get to know him, especially since she was the woman that intrigued this easily bored man the most. He was as honest as they came. 

Of course, his morals were a bit outlandish, but at least he didn't hold up a front. He loved to make people shake and at the same time, he loved to make people smile. A walking contradiction who enjoyed life by making it one big ass joke. Perhaps, that's why she didn't think anything of their once in a blue moon after midnight dates. He didn't know who she was and simply just wanted a companion that sassed him out occasionally. Women to him were assets and/or sources of entertainment. Even though he didn't necessarily treat her like the other Strippers or the other women he passed by commenting on their fine ass or big titties, she was still one of his toys he could easily throw away. Yet, even with that knowledge, never did he force himself on her. Nana respected him for that. 

Blood was everything for this organized crime syndicate and as much as Danny and probably most of Wes' relatives hated this youthful Underboss, they knew better than to start shit with him. Danny had told her how his cousin got under his skin, but as long as Wes was attached to his uncle... one of the most powerful men in this region... he wouldn't deny his cousin's wishes. The woman knew to some degree, Danny loved Wes. If you're someone attached to the Mafia, from the day you came out of your mother's womb to when you can start doing your parents' bidding, you were raised to live and die for the family. 

Nana, or Amethyst in this moment, observed the interior of the restaurant. The only times she was in fanciful places like this was when she was with Wes. She didn't care for lavished assortments or an extravagant lifestyle. With the money she's saved up over the years, making 100g a year with all her jobs (most of the money coming from being a Star stripper), Jude's college fund was already set. She liked the simpler things in life. A while back she had decided that no matter what men came around, her son would always be her heart. However, Nana did wonder if not having a father figure would affect how her son was raised. 

Tonight felt a bit different. The lights were dimmed, as a beautifully adorned woman played the piano and a timid, yet large sized man played the violin ([url=https://youtu.be/AXHHAtBWN6c?t=19s]music example[/url]). A white satin table cloth draped on the round table where a [url=http://rilane.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Romantic-Rose-Candle-Centerpiece-700x525.jpg]candle centerpiece[/url] was placed between the two of them and rose petals were scattered all over it. Of course, Nana didn't think anything of this special design. Romance was not something she often indulged in, she preferred reading a newspaper to see what was happening in the area or read articles about current issues around the world. The Jewel could only assume the decorations was because it was a special someone's birthday. The main course had come and passed, as she listened to Wes' stories and adverted the topics from getting too personal with her. He learned her simple interests like her love to read and how she engrossed herself in documentaries, memoirs, and Law & Order. Last time they spent a night out like this she talked about old films and her idol Grace Kelly, who was one of the most elegant and influential iconic films stars in American Cinema History. It was a very male fantasy to have a woman who looked like an angel and behaved like a tramp, Grace Kelly was the perfect example of that. That old Hollywood princess was one of the only magical content that Nana took time to watch. 

Other than that, anything magical or fantasy that she read was when it was Jude's story time. She wasn't going to prevent her son from dreaming. The Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus made her baby extremely excited, why should she take that light away from him? 

As the desserts were placed on the table, Nana having reached her limit a long time ago, the chattering stopped and a serious look fell on Wes' face. [color=steelblue]"Look, Mimi, I gots to ask you somethin'..."[/color] His words brought her to attention and almost at once, the man got up from the table and knelt before her. From his coat pocket, he produced an elegant box. Within, a [url=http://i.imgur.com/f8cQYnf.jpg]ring[/url] that probably cost a small fortune radiantly sparkled in the candlelight. [color=steelblue]"Will you make me the happiest man alive? Will you marry me?"[/color] He spoke with a genuine fervor, his hazel eyes leering at her electric blue contacts.

This was not something the mother had expected. Wes was in love with her 'Mimi' persona... he was in love... with her? Her mouth went slightly ajar but her expression stood still. How should she feel right now? Her gaze fell upon the ring. Was that a replica of Grace Kelly's engagement ring from Prince Rainier III of Monaco? That ring was the fourth most expensive ring in the world. 10.47 carat emerald-cut center, flanked by two stylish diamond baguettes with the value of 4.06 Million dollars. 

All this time, she thought he saw her as just another toy but this man, this foolish and sincere man, wanted to marry her? The only thing she could say was, "[color=limegreen]Wes... you hardly know me.[/color]"

Having gotten no sleep, since she not only had Wes drop her off back at the Honey Pot around 5AM but it also took an hour drive to get home, the mother did not think it was a smart idea to get some shut eye. She did have to go to her first house in two hours or so. Yawning, she quietly entered her home, put the leftover food away, and went to her bedroom. Prim was sleeping silently on her bed. Nana would need to update her on all the shenanigans that happened yesterday and last night when she got back home. Thankfully, Prim was her best friend and a fulltime babysitter for Jude, practically a nanny. Once her friend wakes up, both Prim and her son would head over to the daycare. After putting the velvet ring box in her dresser and removing her costume, Nana got undressed and went to take a nice, long shower. Within time, she was back in her Nana-mode. Her black hair was up in an unkempt [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/bd/9a/cb/bd9acbcc48c4f70abdc619d6201f83e8.jpg] ponytail[/url] and she was dressed in her [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/3b/85/d7/3b85d74f52948e935d43ed7631b2650c.jpg]maid uniform[/url]. Sighing as the past words of Prim ran through her head, '[color=CD5C5C][i]You're going to work yourself to death. I don't know why you don't quit one of your jobs. You have enough money now to take it easy. I understand you're trying to hide the fact that you're a stripper, but you need to start taking care of yourself, Nana.[/i][/color]', the mother quietly slipped into her son's room and kissed him on the forehead. 

Before she left the house once more, she wrote on her fridge's tiny whiteboard, something she had for her and her son to leave messages for each other: [color=limegreen]Want to go to Fabletown soon? Mommy loves you. Xoxo.[/color]

With that, she headed toward her first rich home that needed cleaning. Recently, one of the maids had retired so her boss had given Nana the elderly woman's 8:30/9AM client. Luckily today, she only had to clean the Warren and Weaver family estates. The Lennox family were on vacation and Mr. Lockwood would call her when he needed her, since it was only him in a large mansion, his wife having been away for a long time now. 

As she parked her black Chevrolet Traverse 2lt fwd by the sidewalk in front of the Warren house, Nana watched as a young blonde man, who looked to be near her age, walked down his porch stairs and made his way to his car. His outfit ensemble reminded her of a jock, but it was nice to see a rich kid have some geek in him (referring to his batman shirt). Exiting her car, she approached the man and introduced herself. After taking a polite bow, Nana smiled, "[color=limegreen]Good morning! Can I assume you're one Mr. Warren's sons? My name is Nana Darling and I'll be your new maid.[/color]" Her exotic green eyes met with his stare as she gave him her business card. He charmingly acknowledged her. Their meeting was short and sweet because he had the need to feed and before she knew it, she was inside his home cleaning it.

After cleaning most of the house, there was one bedroom left for her to replace the sheets, dust, vacuum, sweep, wipe everything down... the mother didn't know whose bedroom it was, but she could assume it was one of the sons'. It sure as hell wasn't the master bedroom. As she made the bed, a dark haze fell over Nana...

The overworked woman crashed into the comfortable cloud...falling into a deep sleep.
