"Hello love, I miss you." Van spoke through the phone.

"I miss you too." I told him back.

Van is my boyfriend. A business man. Constantly on business trips and home on special occasions. All in all I don't see him very often.

"When are you coming home?"

"Soon bellissima"

"How soon? Because I really miss you."

He laughed on the other line. "Here's what. Give me three more days to come home and I'll take you out. How does that sound?" He said.

"Well... I've been meaning to go to this new restaurant-"

"Then it's settled then." He cuts me off. "I'll talk to you later ok. I got to go."

Before I could respond he hang up. I sighed sadly. Well I guess I better get ready for class then.

Van and I have been talking for two years now. And he had help me out alot. He doesn't know that I'm a stripper, he still thinks that I work as a part time Assistant at a Company Office in town. But he didn't know that I was fired that day when I dropped out of college. Talk about tragic downfall.

I went to our room and got dressed in some burgundy jeans and a black long sleeve shirt paired with my black converse. I catch my hair in a ponytail then head out with my bag on my back.

The drive to campus didn't take me long. As I drove, my phone chimed, indicating that I got a text. I ignored it until I pulled up on campus. Students litter the front lawn while some studied and others either goofing off or minding their own business. Remembering that I got a text I took out my phone.

Ter:

GIRL! Where the hell you at! I've been waiting for you for over 15 minutes!

7:15am

I rolled my eyes at her antics and started typing. But before I could press send a loud and heavy knock came from my window. My head snapped to the insolent fool that dared to knock my window so hard.

My fuming best friend stood at my window, huffing and puffing her chest. Her silky pressed hair blew wildly in her face. I stuff my phone in my bag pack and stepped out of the car.

"Break my window and you pay for it." I simply told her, slinging my bag over my shoulder.

"You had me here waiting for you this long and your worried about some stupid car window!" She shrieked. I swear she can be over dramatic at times.

I gasp at her insult to my car. I quickly turned around and started to pat her down. "Don't worry Ver. Nincompoops like her didn't mean to insult you." Then I embrace her into a hug.

"I knew that chick was crazy." Some random guy said to his friend when passing by. My head snapped to the person giving him a death glare causing him to trip over his own feet. A few people laughed at his clumsiness while he blushed embarrassed.

I rolled my eyes at him, "Anyways," I said turning towards my now amused best friend. "15 minutes wasn't all that long. Besides, I'm worth the wait." I flipped my ponytail over my shoulder while I gave her a smudged look.

"Bitch bye." With that she turned on her heels and stormed off. I laughed at her childish behavior.

"Come on Teresa. You can't really be that mad?" I said catching up to her. But instead of a response she ignored me. I groaned.

"Speak to me please." I begged but still got ignored. "I'll buy you cake." I bribed. Ignored again. I sighed. "Fine. I'll buy you two cheese burger." I groaned.

A smirked appeared on her lips as she turned to me causing both of us to stop in the corridor. "I'm so glad your my best friend." She said hugging me. I gasp. I don't know if I should feel used, upset or what.

"Get them to me at lunch tomorrow peasant." And with that she continued to walked to our class. Both of use are majoring in business.

"I knew you're only friends with me because I can get you food." I shouted at her.

"Well damn, your pretty slow then." She said laughing. I shook my head with a smile and followed after her.

~~●~~

Class ended not too long ago and Teresa and I went our separate ways. She had to visit her grandmother and I had work.

"Yessss!" I shouted. Once my tired body fell down on the black couch. I blew out a relaxing sigh causing the sound to fill the empty space of my  house as all of my stress and tiredness drained from my body.

I wanted to set my phone on alarm, really I did, but I'm so comfy. Deciding to not bother with it, I slowly fell in a deep slumber.

°°°

The sound of something buzzing was getting really irritating. I fanned near my ears two times then the buzzing sound stop.
Seconds later it started again. I groan annoyed, "what the-.... Oh." I frown when I realized that it was coming from my phone. I sat up on the couch then reach for my bag. I took out my phone and checked the caller ID. Macy?

Without a second thought I answered the phone. "Hello." My voice sounded groggy.

"Ria! Where the hell are you? Your up in the next 30 minutes." Macy yelled on the other line.

"Shit! I'll be right there. I fell a sleep." I rushed out. I took a quick glance at the time and noticed that it's 10:59pm.

"Well get your lazy ass up and come down here asap." With that she hang up. What is it with people hanging up on me lately! Gosh!

I quickly got up and rushed to my room to take a quick shower and throw on a new set of clothes. I wore a burgundy skin tight knee length dress and with a pair of black heels. I scurried out the door to my car and head down to the club.

I arrived within record time because of my mad driving skills.
I quickly got changed in a nice glittery black two piece and a black mask. Just then, my name was called.

As I stepped on stage, the DJ play on upbeat song for me to dance to. As I was in the middle of my dance, some guy started to shout at me with his Jamaican accent but I ignored him.

"Oyii! Shake that fine rassclaat ass babez!" The guy shouted again. How the hell is he so loud?

My eyes scan the crowd of people to pin point the source while slowly circling the pole, finally realizing the voice I winked at him, but what actually caught  my attention was the sexy ass specimen who sat beside him. I stared, I was still looking at the fine candy until the man next to him opened his mouth again.

"Don't stop sexy! Come on no mon. Mi know you have betta moves than that girl." The man beside him rolled his eyes

I slowly and seductively approach him.

"You see that bro. Mi have a way with women." he said with a grin.

I began to kneel and crawled the rest of the way to him. I stopped in front of him, all the while Mr. tall, thick and handsome watch my every move.

That was when I grabbed the bastard in front of me.

His eyes grew wide from shock. I slowly lean to his ears and whispered. "You need to tone your voice down." My hand slowly traveled to the back of his neck and I gripped it hard, my nails slightly digging into is skin. He hissed at the contact but I ignored it. "Else I won't hesitate to sink my heels through your throat and called it and accident." With that, I kissed his ear and crawled back to the pole, not before sending Mr handsome a wink.

I finished my dance then left the stage.

"What happened back there?" Macy came to me and asked.

Shrugging, "Oh nothing. Just giving the guy is money's worth." I said untying the knot of my mask, taking it off.

"You sure?" She press on. Just then I felt eyes on me.

"Yep." With that I looked back in the crowd and saw Mr handsome staring at me. Shit!.

Quickly I took a step back into the dark and went back to my dressing room. He freaking saw me! Not just me, but my damn face. I took a few minutes to calm my self down. It's safety procedure to not take our mask off. A knock was heard at my door when Macy came in.

"You can go home early tonight. We won't be needing you." She said.

"Geez, when you say it like that." I said crunching up my face.

"You know what I meant." She laughed before she left the room.

I quickly changed back into my clothes and went towards the back exit.

The cold night air wrapped itself around me causing a shiver to run down my spine.

Why the hell did I wear such a dress? I could bet I didn't wake up fully and my brain was still dead at the time.

I was heading towards my car when a black porche pulled up beside me.

"It's too late for a beautiful girl like you to be alone out here." Said a deep, sexy manly voice. I looked to the driver and saw Mr. handsome looking at me with two crystal blue eyes.

"Who said I was alone?" I shot back.

"You aren't?" He asked leaning towards his window looking around. " Cause I don't see anybody else around." He then smirk.

"Really!?" The guy that I threaten earlier spoke. I didn't even recognize he was even in the car. "Just ask her for her number no man."

I laughed at him before walking away. This breeze is starting to get me all stuffed up.

"How about a ride home?" He shouted at me.

I turned to him with my arms wrapped around body. "I don't ride with strangers. Besides, I got my own ride." I said jiggling my keys then walked to my silver Audi. I got in the car and immediately turned on the heater. I look back to his car a saw that it drove off. I started my own engine then drove myself home like a true boss.
