Her Billionaire Alpha

Chapter 3

I had slept the best I had in weeks, I think the relief of having some financial stability helped. Tonight is going to be my first night at the club but first I had to get Ben to nursery school and get the house tidy and washing up to date, I doubt I will feel up to doing much tomorrow after my late night tonight. 

I get him off to his class and hurry home to get everything done. Luckily my mum had taught me how to do pretty much everything, my cooking was a bit limited but I am sure I will pick it up as I go and Ben doesn't seem to mind the basic menu. It is so quiet here now and memories flood through of our little family. I had such a happy childhood, I felt so loved but I have to stay strong for Ben now and push the hurt away. I don't feel I have even grieved yet, it's like they are on holiday and will come home any moment. It's like one big sick joke. I shake it off and go back to folding the laundry. I check the time and school is almost out so rush out the door to go collect Ben.

Ben decided he would like pizza so I thought I would treat us to a pizza delivery. We stuffed our faces infront of the tv and binged some cartoons, something about a family of pigs, he loves it. After that I bathed and put Ben to bed before getting myself ready for my first shift at the club. 

Andrea turned up with Cara dead on 8.30 and off we went. The drive in felt like it took forever but it was just my nerves making everything seem slow. I wondered what the uniform would be like, probably some short skirt and little else. 

"You're doing that thing again" Cara pointed to my face.

" What thing?" 

" You bite your bottom lip when you get nervous or over think something and you are still doing it Mads. Stop stressing you will love it, it's more like clubbing than working you'll see". 

We pull into the car park and I look up at the big red neon sign above the club doors ' Scarletts' and wonder why it's called that. Then we make our way over to the entrance and head to the changing room. There is a locker with my name on it already. I open it up and find the mini skirt I had predicted, a little white shirt that shows a huge amount of cleavage and ties up under my bust to show off my tummy and the cutest bow tie. I slip into my outfit and touch up my make up. There was a redhead girl wearing the same outfit and she made her way towards me.

"Hi honey, you must be Maddison, right ?"

" Yup, that's me you can call me Maddy or Mads "

" You'll be working with me tonight, you can shadow me for a bit if you like until you get the hang of it but it is fairly straight forward just keep the customers happy, oh and you can call me Red" She said with a grin.

I followed Red to the bar area. The place was already banging. It didn't take me long to get the hang of the till and where everything was and I started to relax and enjoy it. Cara was right it was fun. Andy popped by to check in on me and see how I was getting along, he was really happy with me too which boosted my confidence. I got to hang out with Cara on my break and we had a cheeky shot of tequila with the other dancers. It got to 3am and the club was closing for the night, I had been given my nights pay in cash including tips I had earned £250. I was in shock, I didn't expect to earn anywhere near that. 

We might be okay after all.
