Chapter Fifteen
“What do you mean?”
I ask her, very curious.
“ Well it's basically at a strip club. You'll be serving drinks there. Well at least you don't have to be dancing, which is something that you are really bad at”. She says to me and I furrow my brows at her.
“Why do you think I would be good at that? I don't think I would be”. I say to her and she just shrugs her shoulders.
“I think you would be. All you need to do is just to be able to listen to them blabber and blabber on about their problems when they come to you at the bar. That's literally all it is about being a bartender, you don't even have to say much.”
She says to me and I say thank you. I will try and see what they think. Just send me the address of the place and I'll go see what they have to say and if the space is still open. I say to her and she smiles at me before offering me a hug.
“Well great, I guess I will see you when I talk in”. She says and I nod my head.
“Thank you again for the night”.
“Oh stop thanking me, I will start to feel like I need to cry.” She says and I just giggle softly before grabbing my bags and heading out. I feel not looking forward to be working today but I just had to do it. I had to let myself get this done because I really did not know what else I was going to do if I did not get it done because I just wanted it out of my life.
I just wanted to get to the place where I could just forget about it and this time around I just wanted it to happen quickly. I did not like the fact that I was still going through all these problems and it seemed like they were never ending. If I did get the job that Bailey was talking about and I was actually good at it and I actually did pay well, like she said, I'll have to find out what ejaculate with what I'm doing, everything that I'm doing right now. And that only meant that I'll probably not have space for school anytime soon, even though I qualified for a scholarship and I knew that if I applied for one,
I could get one because I had really good grades. Good more than good grades and they earned me a lot of rewards. But I still could not catch up on them. I still could not use them because my mother was making my life impossible sometimes. Just wanted to do it. Just wanted to get myself sponsored and leave. Leave her here. But I just think she was all going to spiral. And I really wish I could just get that out of my head, get the fact that she's an adult more into my mind and think about the fact that she knows what to do and what consequences she would have to deal with the actions that she keeps getting herself into.
Because right now, it was really not working out for me. Well, this was it. I already had a feeling that Gina was going to be asking about his time very soon. So I had to be ready. I had to be ready with the truth, tell him exactly what had happened because he was the one that kept lying about what I would be able to do. He was on the kept lying to them, saying that I would be able to dance, saying that I would be able to do all these kind of favours, these weird things that they tend to ask for from him. But he knew very well that I would not be able to do that. Even though he just kept trusting me over and over again. And despite me telling him to stop doing so, he had only continuously done it several times over and over again
. And here I was in the situation because of him. I get on a taxi and go straight to the restaurant where I work, opening up and making sure that I do some cleaning before the day starts. Yes, I also taking up on the cleaning as well because that meant I could get a bit of extra payment. If you do not have to hire a cleaner, well at least for the tables and the floor and the bathroom. I was not doing the dishes. That is the only thing that I was not doing in this restaurant. It was highly exhausting. The moment that I take a seat and try to relax as I wait for customers to walk in after cleaning up the place, the first person that walks in is the last person I want to be seeing right now.
And he already has a look on his face that tells me that he knows everything. That tells me that he is really much wishful about it right now and I just bruised myself. I'll just take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Try to take another deep breath and let it out slowly again. Just in anticipation of the conversation that I knew was coming my way. The conversation that I knew I was going to dread having and already dreaded having in the 1st place. It was, you know, he was here and I guess he had not wasted any time at all. It was only 6 in the morning and here he was already getting in here. The door's open and he looks absolutely furious.
“And you, what the f**k have you done?” He says to me and I just taking a deep breath.
“ I'm sorry”. I start talking and he immediately shakes his head.
“Well no, no no no, you cannot tell me you are sorry. How dare you lose a client like that?” He says to me and I just shrug my shoulders .
“I really tried, I really tried not to be the person that he would not be attracted to what I cannot do what he wanted, someone that was not me” I said to him, barely having a clue what I am saying or if it adding up and he just starts laughing.
“ Well, I would be absolutely furious if I did not think you could redeem yourself tonight. You have a client, someone that says he knows you so well, make sure you get to that person very quickly, as soon as you are done here. He is a little patient. He's willing to wait. I have no idea what he has seen in you, but he is willing to be very patient just to have you.
But I am not in the business of waiting to make money, so here is what you are going to do." his face was just giving me anxiety. Coupled with everything that he was saying I had no idea what to expect.
Who could it be? Someone that could want me that badly? Out of all the girls that Gino had lined up for his most important clients, why did it have to be me?
I was always told that I'm lacking.
"You are meeting him tonight. I need you to get yourself ready and make sure you do not behave like the pathetic i***t that you are." he says to me sternly and I just nod my head.
He wanted me badly and I was going to finally see him tonight..... In a couple of hours.
Why was I not prepared for this?
