5 years a slave

Chapter 2

Listening to Marie babble on about who will be at this bar really did keep me occupied, we both did our fake tan the night before so all there was to do was do our makeup and hair.

I kept my hair down in light ringlets flowing down my back, while Marie ALWAYS tied hers up, she says it looked more elegant and like she had nothing to hide the truth was having her hair down made her square head look huge plus her corn flick didn't help her look.

Looking at myself in Marie’s tall mirror I could see why men pay me attention, my long legs, and curvy body which would make some men very happy, my face is pleasant with big bright green eyes which have impressive eyelashes, high cheekbones with a small pouted lip...

I could make some men very happy, but I’ve never had that sort of happiness nor have I felt it mainly due to the fact that I’m career is driven and a virgin who doesn't want to part with her innocents just yet.

'Move over' Marie squeals while checking herself out, she had a navy-blue pencil skirt with a white blouse she kept telling me to dress classy however I just went with the little black dress.

'you look so sexy compared to me anna' Marie huffed while fixing her hair, I give a small toothy smile with a sigh not giving responds or answers as we are constantly getting compared to each other and it's not fair at all.

I could see Marie eyeing me in the mirror, watching my face, her eyes travelled down the length of my body then she examined her own body before turning back to mine, I knew what she was doing, comparing herself to me, making sure she was close to comparison to me sometimes I wonder if there was a mix up if I should have had marries body and her mine.

If we swapped bodies I knew with my body and Marie's personality combined she would be unstoppable, probably have the world under the thumb, if I had Marie’s body, my slight awkward shy personality would fit it perfectly with her small beady eyes being able to mask my emotions and small thin lips showing an awkward smile.

My eyes were too big not to show exactly how I was feeling, I knew I was attractive, usually, the men that approach me they expect me to be like Marie, hot and willing but instead I got flustered, barely able to string a sentence together, when this happened I usually was interrupted by Marie who saved me by taking them off my hands.

I could see she was still examining me thoroughly, so I decided to take her mind of me and onto something else. ‘since you’re in a relationship, you know you can't speak to any other men tonight right' I say scrunching my face as it was a question more than a statement but knowing Marie, she would have every man in that bar buying us drinks.

She applied her lippy then turned to me with a cheeky smile replacing her sour one from moments ago placing her hands on my shoulders with an iron grip 'cheating is a physical act not emotional just think about that' with that she let go and slipped her new black heels on.

'the taxi is here Jessica' she winked before handing me my bag with my things in, I knew I would have to look after her tonight because she seemed more rebellious than usual.

my name is Jessica or Jessy on a night out, with Marie calling herself July, we play along with our characters her being an office worker, me playing the hunger student it's a good act, I’m good at this because I’m already a student but if they want to assume, I’m a uni student that their problem.

~~~~~

I tried not to blush under the bouncer's gaze as both males check me out, but I knew I was definitely blushing. 'Jessica' the name rolled off the bouncer’s tongue, but he spoke with a grunt like an I can't be arsed with this. looking him in the eye I give a shy nod, he studied my face than my body.

pedo ughhh.

The other bouncer seemed keen on my ID to as he started scanning the ID Card then myself, however, he kept his mouth shut letting the other more dominant man do all the talking, with one last scan he licked his bottom lip as if he was hungry, I could see the lust in his grey eyes.

'what star sign are you, Jessica' The bouncer gushed, while c*****g his head to the side trying to read my face within a second, I reply 'Cancer' I smirk back knowing I was correct, Marie questions me regularly about my ID.

The bouncer was, of course, huge with a black uniform on however he was not my type with his dusty blond hair and blue eyes he was attractive but too old with his receding hairline and monobrow.

He obviously liked playing games with young women as he allowed Marie in without checking her ID, hoping to move the crowd along that he had created with his perverted act.

I got this quite a lot with bouncers they just seem to like me and what I look like, so I usually have to find some weakness, dropping my bag I slowly bend down showing off my legs and slowly up showing off my big t**s.

Both bouncer’s eyes widened as I come back up, I was sick of waiting and seeing Marie in the doorway scanning me did not help. I felt like she was assessing me but on what? I did not know so I quickly snatched my ID back off the man before pronouncing 'I am on the guest list and I deserve some respect-' 'I have to check everyone's ID' the Bouncer corrected me while running a hand through his hair he obviously did not expect this outburst from me.

'what would your wife say to you and your lovely pal gawping at me for the last 15 minutes' I snap while folding my hands looking him dead into his blue-grey eye. With an opened mouth he finally stepped aside allowing me to see the club for the first time and it did not disappoint.

All the furniture was leather with fur rugs, with an outside balcony that had a view of our tiny town, the whole place was fancy, fancy and more fancy with a white glass flooring, white walls and a view to die for of course their clients looked more like Marie then me, their hair was elegantly done in a posh updo, most women looked like they were about to head onto a catwalk with their designer clothing and shoes, they looked like they walked straight out of a magazine.

The men were not much different with suits that were more than I got in pocket money in a year, I don't know why Marie insisted on coming to places like this, I know she's slightly up herself but this vibe and these middle age people are just boring, I can overhear conversations about housing prices rising for heaven’s sake.

Watching Marie order our drinks I can see she fitted in nicely with these people and give her five years she will rule them all, she swished her hips and she made a beeline for me with drinks in hand. ‘what you did out there had this whole place in tears, I mean where did it come from, for a second, I was debating jumping in to save our night' Marie laughed lightly while handing me a red cocktail.

she scanned the room looking around for the talent as she would put it ‘when you snapped at the bouncers, I could see all the men taking an interest so maybe we will just get pissed here than on free drinks' I rolled my eyes and pulled out my phone.

I knew if any man who Marie took a liking to did offer to buy her drinks all night, I would be here all night with her, and I would have to stay to make sure she got home ok.

'while I’m sober I might as well text my mum' was my reply as I started texting my mum.

home and safe off to bed soon luv u

After 60 seconds my mother replied back.

LUV U 2

I hated not telling her what I was doing but when I have tried to talk to my mother about these things in the past all she does is freak out and tell me this horror storied about creepy old men trying to have their way with young women like myself.

Marie obviously did not want to drop the topic of my rudeness however as she carried on like I hadn't tried to change the subject 'so you see that women with the green dress' she pointed a delicate finger towards a blond hair middle age woman. ' well she said I wish I had balls like her that young and I said to her I moulded you into the badass that you are' Marie then nudged my elbow grinning like a proud mother.

I ignored her, instead, I slipped my mouth around my straw and sucked the sweet strawberry daiquiri, Marie soon took the hint.

Like the elegant swan Marie was she walked into a chattering group that did not mind her joining in, it was like they were welcoming an old friend, the group chatted with Marie, I was on the outline of the group minding my own business and nodding when appropriate, I did not want to take Marie’s thunder, I could hear they were talking about Commonwealth/middle class and I was part of the commonwealth theses were snotty bastard but one jackass wanted to make a point of me coughing and calling me princess, I turn to see everyone looking towards me including Marie.

I first look at Marie, she looked relaxed, but I could see she was brewing inside knowing I had the attention of someone already. I face the group, I did not look at anyone in particular and with a raised eyebrow I reply 'yes’, the women in green looked at her drink like it was fascinating while one young man played on his phone attending emails while another played with his hair, it was a young man in his twenties who spoke up, he was extremely attractive, I studied him for a couple of seconds he had a bone structure that was to kill for of course it was a bone structure of a man and not a teenage boy which I was used to, his eyes were deep brown with his black tousled hair, yes he was extremely attractive and I blushed head to toe under his gaze.

He smirked slightly with his sensual lips and he had a cunning look in his eye 'Yours friend July was just telling us her opinion on commonwealth while I suspected you as in that category due to being a student?' he said with a cocky attitude.

was he trying to bring me down a peg?

I could see this group of friends become slightly embarrassed even Marie seemed to cringe slightly, hoping I wouldn't take offence to his comment and the information she had given out about me being a 'student' so I give my best dazzling smile to the group and with my voice so sweet it was dangerous like the strawberry daiquiri I held in my hand after a moment I replied 'I may be a commoner by whom do you think my family are, I was born and bred into upper class, but I assure you I don't use such labels in this society due to ignorance and discrimination'

The group seemed to acknowledge my reply and I could see debate rising in their minds, but I continue ' If you do not want someone like me in your conversation I shall leave if that will make you happy?' I aimed that question to the man who asked me the question first.

Some of the group finally looked at me and then the man then started looking between us probably debating whether to get involved in the conversation then they started looking between us both, the women in the green dress give a low whistle as she opened her mouth to speak but wisely closed her mouth again.

He gives nothing away other than walking slowly towards me not breaking eye contact and nor was I, he was a predator and I was his pray when our toes were touching he leaned in towards me just enough so I could smell his expensive cologne and see his designer label on the inside of his shirt, I could feel his body warmth seeping through to me keeping me warm.

don't back down, don't back down, don't back down.

He could see I was stubborn after a short while he whispered gentling like speaking to a baby 'I want more of your smart mouth actually, shall we have a drink?' before I could reject the jackasses offer, he wrapped his strong muscular arm around me and led me to the bar, with a backward glance, I caught Marie’s eyes who shrugged turning to a rugged looking man next to her and I knew she wouldn't be coming to my rescue anytime soon.
