Another week of sales has just ended for me and I'm ready to treat myself.

My name's Dyshawna Harper. I'm 32 and I work in sales; specifically in automobiles because I work at a car dealership. Plus, I'm one of the top salespeople at that dealership.

I have a sweet tooth, so I treated myself to ice cream at my favorite spot, The Cream De La Crème. Sometimes, I go to the nearest store to get my favorite flavors or other ice cream places when available. But with The Cream De La Crème, I can get customized flavors and pints of their flavors. Not only that, but they also use leftover desserts from the nearby dessert shop, which the shop owner brings and makes ice cream treats with them. For instance, I'd get two of their chocolate flavors when that time of the month hits: Mocha Coffee Brownie (chocolate and coffee ice creams with fudge brownie chunks) and Chocolate Cookies N Cream Cheesecake (chocolate ice cream with chocolate sandwich cookies and chocolate cheesecake pieces). Or Mint Chocolate Mood (mint chocolate ice cream with fudge swirls, mint crème sandwich cookies, and chocolate flakes) when I get paid. Sometimes whenever I have a light food kind of day, I get myself Tropical Citrus (an orange sorbet with lemon and lime). I don't always treat myself whenever my sweet tooth tingles; there was one time I bought myself a diamond necklace for my birthday last year, especially because my middle name's Diamonique which means "precious gem" in Latin.

That Saturday night, I stopped by The Cream De La Crème to pick up a few pints for my personal ice cream stash after picking up a to-go order from the local bar & grill. I picked out my favorite flavors, a pint of vanilla and a pint of Dulce de leche.

Other than delicious ice cream flavors, there's another reason for me to visit The Cream De La Crème: a 24-year-old Korean American man who works there. I remembered the first time I met him; he was a new employee when the ice cream parlor had just opened; he suggested I try the Caramel Apple à la mode (Dulce de leche ice cream with apple pie pieces and salted caramel swirls), and it has since become my first favorite flavor. It had been two years since we met, and he still works there. His name's Jeremy, and he now works at the front counter, which was a long way from passing out flyers and coupons in an ice cream cone costume when he first started.

Jeremy and I mostly made small talk while making my order. I also purchased some dessert toppings and a few cans of whipped cream. After I had paid for my purchases, I told him I looked forward to seeing him again soon. I put up my ice cream when I got home, took a shower, changed into my pajamas, and warmed up my dinner in the toaster oven. I ate my dinner, had my dessert, and called up my two best friends, Naeva and Tamesha, for some girl talk. Sunday afternoon, I met up with Naeva and Tamesha for Sunday brunch at our favorite spot over on Main Street. While we dined on chicken and waffles and got brunch girl wasted on mimosas, we discussed the upcoming weekend and girls' night out plans. Tamesha works as a bank teller at the bank on Main Street because she has her mind on the money and money on her mind every week.

"Would you girls like to go with me to this new club that just opened downtown?" Naeva asked the both of us.

"What's the club called?" Tamesha asked.

"The Sugar Walls Lounge, I hear that club has a grown and sexy vibe like the club I work for except my club is in another part of town," Naeva replied.

Naeva works as a hostess/club promoter over at Club Bliss and her side hustle is her nightlife and dining blog, doing reviews. Club Bliss is this grown and sexy nightclub she works over in midtown, both Club Bliss and The Sugar Walls Lounge have a grown and sexy vibe, which is perfect for singles, hookups, and dates.

"Do they have theme nights like Club Bliss?" I asked Naeva.

"I'm not sure since the lounge just opened two weeks ago, I signed up for the mailing list, so I should hear about the first theme night. In the meantime, Club Bliss is hosting a lace and leather night next
