Obey Me

Just My Luck

Celina

I was so exhausted after last night. I wasn't expecting to dance. I thought I would never have to do that again after leaving The Fox Den but last night I did it again. I didn't even see who I was dancing for but I made more money than I have ever made in my life. Maybe having the next time wouldn't be a bad thing.

I needed the money to survive. My boyfriend, Noah, left suddenly. He hadn't paid rent in four months so we were behind. I kept promising our landlord that I would pay it so he let me stay. I then ended up only having three days to pay it or else I would be kicked out. My coworker at the pharmacy I also work at, at that time told me about her sister who worked as a stripper. She told me I could make at least a thousand dollars in one night. I didn't believe her but I made five hundred my first night. The more I worked the more I would leave with. It was a bad place, I knew that. Greg was a jerk but he gave me the job quickly and I needed the money. I never thought I would ever have to do anything like this but here I was. I had so much debt to pay. Vito was sort of nice, I guess. I really didn't know him but I was thankful for everything he was doing for me.

I woke up the next day and stretched before I went to go make myself breakfast and some tea. I don't have any friends or family for that matter. I was in foster care until I was eighteen. I met Noah at the market. He said he liked my smile. He was nice at first but then he was just a jerk. He never came home early and spent so much money on beer and pot. I stayed with him because I didn't have anyone else and nowhere to go. I sometimes hated myself for it but I just couldn't leave. I was glad he decided to leave or I would probably still be there holding out hope for him.

-You should buy yourself some nice for tonight-

I got a text from an unknown number but then a single V came through. It was Vito. He must want me to buy clothes for Marcelo. I got nervous but I had no other choice.

I finished eating breakfast and decided to go shopping. I hardly bought clothes for myself. My closet now mostly consists of jeans and white tees. I especially never bought any type of sexy clothing. It took me over three hours to find a*****e and anything I could possibly be confident and comfortable in.

I got home and made myself some soup. I had another six hours before I had to go to work so I took a quick nap.

A few hours later, I woke up and took a shower. I got my new outfit and threw it in my small white bookbag. I put on some jeans and a white V-neck. I called an uber and went over to Midnight Sky.

"Hello Celina," Carlos the club manager greeted me.

"Hi," I said cheerfully.

"You can go to the back and get ready," I nodded and left. The minute I went to the back some of the girls made faces at me. They went back to getting ready but they still huffed and puffed as I walked by.

"Don't mind them, you are so naturally pretty they have to hate,"

"Oh, thank you," I said.

"My name is Nadia,"

"Hi, I'm Celina,"

"Oh yeah, I know," she smiled. "You are the talk of the town. Everyone is jealous of you and your relationship with the boss."

"What? I don't have a relationship with Vito,"

"You call him Vito," Nadia laughed. "Well. well."

"No, but," I didn't know what to say.

"Relax, I really don't care," she said. "But yeah some girls here have been trying to climb that man for years so just stay clear."

"Okay," I took a deep breath and began to get ready. I can understand why they liked Vito so much. He was a big and tall man. He must be in good shape. He is always wearing suits but they grip his muscles in a good way. His tan skin is like caramel. I bet it is smooth and rough at the same time. His dark hair is always in place. He always looks put together. His eyes look dark and mysterious. They intimidate me so much. He could be a model if he didn't always have a scowl on his face. I began to wonder why he is always so angry.

"Are you ready Celina?" Carlos asked. "Marcelo is waiting for you in the velvet room. "

"Oh yeah," I said. I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror one last time. I was wearing a black bra and a mesh sheer top over it. I was also wearing a black bikini bottom with mesh covering them too. I headed over to the velvet room. My heart was beating rapidly. I went into the room and was looking around. I couldn't see anything. The stage was lit up like last time.

"What are you waiting for?" a scratchy and husky voice said.

"Um,"

"Dance, now," his voice got deeper and it made me get goosebumps on my arm. I got on the stage and danced. I couldn't tell if I was doing a good job. I couldn't see anyone.

"You should relax," the man named Marcelo said. I tried to but it was hard. I danced for two hours.

"Bored?" Marcelo asked.

"No, but all you want me to do is dance," I said.

"Oh, you want to do more,"

"No!" I shouted. "I just meant," I stayed quiet. I had already made a big fool out of myself.

"You can leave," he said. I feel like I disappointed him. I quickly left. I had a few hours left in my shift so I looked for Carlos. He looked surprised that I was done with Mr. Marcelo.

"You can serve drinks in area 1," Carlos said.

"Okay," I said. I walked over to the bar and grabbed a tray. I grabbed some bottles for a table full of frat guys.

I bumped into a hard shoulder.

"Ouch," I said under my breath.

"Watch where you are going?" Vito said.

"I'm sorry,"

"Stop apologizing and clean this mess up," I looked up and saw some of the other ladies smiling. They were enjoying this.

"Okay,"

"NOW!" Vito shouted. I quickly cleaned up the bottles I dropped. Nadia and Carlos came over to help me. I guess he was a jerk too. Just my luck.
