HIS ADDICTION

Maelie's POV "Girl could you be quicker you know we are going to be late if you don't hurry up" Cherry screams at me from the other side of the door. "A girl needs to take her time love, I'm almost done. If you had agreed to help me with my hair we would be out of here by now." I shout back at her.It's always this way everyday with her. She and I live in a one bedroom apartment. We've been roommates and best friends since our first year on university. We met on the first day and happened to be the freaks. I don't know if that is the right way to put it but then again.. "girl if you don't get your ass out this room I'm going to drag you out myself, you know we can't be late especially not today Brian will kill us!" she shouts again and I run out of the room with the rest of my make up in my hand. We run down the stairs since as the orders a taxicab. We get in the taxi as she finishes on my make up. "Where to ladies?" the taxi driver asks, "Ooh sorry , to Haven" I tell him. Oops! I didn't introduce myself. My name is Maelie Cresent 22 years and recently graduated from one of the best universities in L.A. My parents died when I was young or at least that is what I believe because I've never met them. My mum left me when I was 2 so I lived with relatives to be more specific my aunt and it was one hell of a life. I got a scholarship and that is how I got to L.A.I know you are wondering where I am headed I'm headed to a club that is where I work as a wairtress, as a stripper and sometimes as a cleaner. It was not easy finding a job so when Cherry told me they needed a dancer at the club I accepted it gladly. "We are here ladies" the cab driver tells us and we get off.We to the club and head directly to our locker room. The club is full already and it is just 7pm. Haven is a high end club and mostly the wealthy and celebrities come here. Tonight was different though, Brian our boss had sent an email informing us that there were to be no mistakes and no one was to be late if they wanted to keep their jobs. Brian is a good boss and takes care of us at the club.He has very strict rules for our clients so none of the waitresses or waiters are harassed or touched inappropriately. "Well good evening ladies , I see you are beautiful as alwats, I see you are beautiful as always. Maelie you look ravishing tonight" Victor one of the bouncers walks in saying." Give up already Vic you know you don't stand a chance with her" Cherry tells him as she helps me tie up my hair. "Cherry for someone so beautiful you have a savage way of breaking my heart, she will give in someday you never know," Vic says and we laugh. Vic is a good guy, he's handsome got a nice body and every other thing a woman look for in a man. He doesn't even need this job because he is from a very wealthy family and he took the job to piss off his parents.The kind of problems rich people have I sigh inwardly. I've seen how the ladies and even the men look at him. He can turn a straight man gay that is for sure the problem is I just don't find anything fascinating about him. "Vic that day will never come" I tell him. "But I can make you c*m" he says and for a minute I'm tempted. "friends with benefit you know" he continues, "Vic as much as you are one the reasons so many women come to our club I'd appreciate it more if you can do your work, the line at the entrance is crazy" Brian walks in saying. " Lighten up boss the night is just starting and can't you see I'm trying to get myself a girlfriend here" Vic jokes as he heads out. "You two look beautiful tonight ladies and as two of my best employees and dancers I want you two try your best tonight and yes I'll pay you girls extra tonight I know you two will kill me if I don't" he tells us. Some nights we get paid extra if the club is too busy or should I say too wild I really don't know. "Since that is the case lets start working immediately, it would be sad to miss the extra payment because we were gossiping with our boss in the locker room.' Cherry says as we head out laughing. The night is going to be beautiful I tell myself as I'm feeling liberated tonight.
