Tempted by the seductress

Episode 5 “Such a disappointment I am”

Chapter five

Sunny

This it’s exhausting and complicated as f**k. I whined while practicing the same move for the tenth time. I never thought working in a night club would be that hard, the moves, the clothing, the shoes, OMG, I can barely feel my toes, but of course I only said those things in my mind, what would they think of me if I say them out loud in my first day of rehearsal? They would think I’m a whining b***h that wants everything the easy way, but I’m not so Suck it up sunny.

Thankfully, my mentor it’s very lovely, otherwise I don’t know how she put up with my clumsinessand lack of coordination. But I have to stay strong, I’ll do whatever it takes to be one of the best dancers this club has ever seen, for my kids.

I thought I would see Rick today at my first practice, but to my disappointment he wasn’t here, but at the same time I’m glad he didn’t come. It would have been awkward seeing him watching me fail every move my mentor taught me. Such a disappointment I am.

There were many girls though, who welcomed me as a new member of their crew. Of course, the gossiping was something I didn’t expect. I guess it’s not a big deal for them to ask every newbie about the s*x with Rick.

The man is an icon among the girls “how did you like it?” one of them asked “he’s so big right?” another pitched in “the best I’ve ever had “ another commented, oh god I didn’t signed up for this, but I’m curious though, is he that good?

How can I tell them I didn’t have s*x with him? or should I just go with it? “Talking about me ladies?” A deep voice asked and we all turned around to see Rick standing close to the group of women. “Yes daddy” one of the girls said and threw her arms around Rick. “We were just asking the newbie about her passionate night with a man like you daddy?” and kissed his cheeks.

My stomach dropped at the scene in front of me a feeling I shouldn’t be feeling now. Jealousy maybe something I haven’t experienced before and why does she ask it like it’s not a big deal if my boyfriend sleeps with someone else I would castrate him.

Well that’s awkward to know you boyfriend has s*x with all your coworkers. Is he her boyfriend? If not why would she call him daddy? Well not my business.

“Oh, you know the deal with me baby” he winked at my direction. Wait, isn’t he going to deny we didn’t have s*x? I shoot him a dirty look and he just smirked. “Ok ladies have fun at my expense” he started walking away when he stopped in his track. “Oh, I want to see you in my office before you go Sunny” he said looking over his shoulder. I just nodded.

“What’s it that good that he wants more?” Another girl giggled. I look away to avoid giving them any explanation. “Maybe he wants to talk about my contract or when I can start” I smiled politely. “He needs my personal information, right?” I asked, they exchanged looks with one another. “He has someone who takes care of that, Sunny” Michelle said with a mischievous smile. What does he want from me now?

I spent some time with the girls, of course being me the object of the gossip, irritated and flustered to no extend I said goodbye and headed to the office. I knocked on Rick’s door and waited for his permission. I opened the door and went inside not knowing what to expect from Rick, he was sitting on his chair looking nervous. Is he not happy with my progress?

I sat on the chair in front of him per his requestexpecting the worst from him. “I saw your rehearsal, I must say I’m impressed you did well, not well enough in comparison with your performance last night, though” he said with a smile. I felt my face heating up at last night’s events, surely last night was special because it was for him and I wanted to make sure I got the job, so I did my best.

“Thank you sir I’m glad you liked it” I said with a small smile. He stood up from his chair and walked towards me. “But if you want to do better all you have to do is ask sugar and I’ll be more than happy to help you practice” he raised my chin so I could look at him. “You can practice with me every day in my private room”

I was a loss of words, so that’s why the girls where teasing me. He still wants to have s*x with me. Well two can play the same game I thought.He has made very clear he wants to sleep with me if I get the job, but I’ll make it my top priority it doesn’t happen. I gave him a bright smile which he returned thinking he has everything to win this game, well Game on daddy!!

I stood up and was just inches away from him. “That would be great sir, I will practice with you every day from tomorrow on” I said and he froze at my words. “What? Were you expecting a coward? I can learn many things from you” I said placing my hands on his chest which started to raise with my touch. I can take advantage of his willingness, he’s a man and this job it’s to please men. I will learn from him what men like,

He grinned like a boy whose mom just agreed to give him a chocolate, I couldn’t contain my smile, “great, you will start with your performance for the public in one week if you succeed to impress me” he announced and walked to his chair, I just scoffed because he sounded so professional when I know exactly what he wants. Something lit up in my mind and I asked for something not sure if was right bringing it up, but never hurts to try “I just have a request if I may” he looked intrigued “if it’s something I can do, consider it done”

I don’t want to show my face to the public. I want to protect my kids from the harsh world, not that I’m committing a crime for working in a strip club, but people tend to be cruel and I don’t want my kids to suffer for my actions.

“Could I please wear I face mask while I performance for the public?” I asked nervously, I haven’t even started to work and I’m asking for favors. Rick seemed fazed for my request and he just asked “why? Hiding from someone?” I might as well tell him the truth about me.

“In fact, yes sir I don’t want my ex to find out I work here” he looked surprised at my honesty, but I have nothing to hide and I dint give a flying f**k what he thinks of me. All I do it’s for my kids.

My kids wellbeing will always be my top priority. They only depend on me. After I left Nick he never contacted me, not that I would give him the chance to find me and bring me back to the hell I escaped from. I guess he never forgave me for leaving him. But who gives a damn about what he thinks of me, I certainly don’ now I know I deserve better, no woman has to endure such a treatment from anybody.

I’m a different woman now.

Sitting in front of Rick, I’m thinking what if it was a mistake telling him about my request of wearing a face mask while my performance and also telling him about Nick. “It’s just for my kid’s safety” I said looking at my lap. What would happen if Nick found out I worked in a night club? He would try to take my kids away from me saying I’m a w***e who works at a night club and I am not fit to take care of my kids. I can never let him take my kids, they’re all I have, all my strength, happiness in life I would die without them.

I couldn’t contain my tears from escaping my eyes. I never wanted to cry in front of a man I just met. But just the thought of losing my children drove me insane. What if Nick treated them the way he did to me? What if I never saw them again? I sobbed like I child and trembled uncontrollably.

No, that will never happen, I’ll make sure of that, taking deep breaths I tried to calm myself I would rather kill him with my bare hands before I let him do that. f**k! I would if I could, but what about my kids? What would happen to them if a kill that bastard? Not relax Sunny don’t overthink too much if he hasn’t contacted me in so long, he probably won’t contact me ever. 

Rick stood up and was by my side in no time “it’s ok no need to worry, if that’s what you want, no problem by me. In fact I’ll make mandatory for all the girls to wear mask as well from now on.” he cooed. I threw my arms around him in a tight embrace, it was nothing s****l or awkward It was just peaceful, I just needed a little comfort from someone and of course I was grateful.

He caressed my hair and inhaled deep like trying to control his emotions. “Was he that bad?” He asked and I stilled. What does he know about my life? I just met him yesterday.

But still, I just nodded and said nothing else, no wanting to break even further in front of him. “shh!! it’s all over now, no one will hurt you anymore” he said with a sympathy look in his face, while patting my back. I felt protected by him a new feeling growing in my heart, one I never felt it before with Nick it was only pain, fear, and despair.

That’s why nobody has to know it’s me under the mask.

“Want to talk about it? Talking can help you, you know” he asked concerned about my break down. I don’t want Rick to pity me, it’s bad enough with me pitying myself. I shook my head “thank you sir, I appreciate your concern, but it shouldn’t be any from your part, you don’t even know me” I stood up wanting to leave, but Rick blocked my way “we can change that” he gave a small smile.

I looked at him bewildered, I don’t want anything from him. I got to know him enough from what the girls said about him. He’s someone I should stay as farther away from as possible. I can’t deny there’s something seductive about him. But I made up my mind two years ago and no one will make me change it.

“You and your kids would be safe if you were with me” he took my hands in his and places a soft kiss in the back of them. “Think about it”

What is he talking about? Me and him together? It must be a joke.

I laughed in his face I just couldn’t help it. It’s hilarious to think we can be together. We just met yesterday. He tried to seduce me yesterday since he failed he thinks this way he can get in my pants. Well you’re wrong smart ass. “What is so funny?”

“You are” I exclaimed with sarcasm. He’s out of his mind if he thinks he will trick me like a fool. I was one not too long ago, but now it’s a different story.

He got impossible close to me and I took a step back. He cupped my face and looked me directly into my eyes. “I’m not joking, I can’t stop thinking about you, last night I barley slept. You are driving me insane” of course it’s only desire men will always be men. He just wants to f**k me, that’s all.

“I have nothing to think about, my life was ruined once by the man I loved and trusted the most”Rick and I are completely different, two different worlds. Besides doesn’t Rick have a girlfriend already? The girl who kissed him after practice. “Besides don’t you have someone in your life already sir?” I raised a brow and look at him grinning. “I’ve had many girls before. I don’t deny it, but no one can compare to you Sunny” he reached for my hand and placed it in his chestwhere I could feel his heart beat fast.

I wiggled out of his hold and put distance from him. “You don’t need to be concerned about me sir, because I won’t let anyone hurt me, ever” he looked surprised by my statement. “I won’t let anybody in my life ever again” and stormed away.
