Shattered Marriage (A painful luststory)

Four

It was almost midnight now and Delfina was done with her shift at the Italian restaurant. She was just cleaning and wiping the last table when Adoncia approached her.

"Hey Delfi, go get changed, let's go now." She said as usual, because the two of them would always walk back home together.

"Hey Adona, I have to meet someone, so I will wait for a bit. Why don't you go ahead?" She replied.

"Is it a guy? Are you dating someone? Why didn't you tell me? I want to know all the details, now, and now me right now." Adoncia replied in excitement.

"No no Adona, it's not a guy. It's a friend from University, a girl. We have got an assignment to submit and we are working on it together. We will probably head to her place to complete it tonight. There's no guy involved." Delfi replied to Adona who made an "o" with her mouth.

"Fine then! I will get going with Cristian. Bye. Take care" Adona said, biding her goodbyes to Delfi.

It was right, Delfina was indeed waiting for Ivette to come here and they were then going to head towards the club together from here, where Ivette would introduce her to the manager for the job. So, basically she hadn't lied to Adona, except for the part of not involving any guy, because this will probably involve many guys.

Shortly later, she was done wiping the table and she headed back to remove her apron and change into her casual clothes. She then stepped out of the restaurant and waited for Ivette at the sidewalk. Just some minutes later, Ivette walked towards Delfi.

"Did you wait for long?" She asked.

"No, I was just done with my shift" Delfi replied

"Okay nice then. Should we go now?" Ivette enquired to which Delfi nodded a yes.

After which they both made their way to nearest busstop and waited for the bus. Delfina was growing anxious as she didn't wanted to waste her precious euros on bus fare, she always walked her way around the city to save money, but she couldn't say this to Ivette, so she just stood there fidgeting with her fingers.

Just a minute later a bus arrive and Ivette got on the bus, followed by Delfina. Ivette then paid for two tickets while entering and Delfi was thankful to her for being so thoughtful.

The bus ride was mere silence. There were not many people on the bus as it was already past midnight and both the girls too didn't know what to speak. So, they just sat there in silence. All this while, Delfi kept staring out of the window thinking of what she was about to do.

'Am I doing the right thing?' she thought to herself

'But then do I have some other option?' she answered her own question.

Though her mother didn't tell her the complete story, she knew that her father must have taken money from some loan sharks and now fallen prey to them for not being able to pay back the money. And she knew very well that these loan sharks will not keep quiet about this, and may even go to the extent of killing her father for the same. Thinking of this, a lone tear escaped her eye, flowing down her cheek, but she was quick to wipe it away without anyone noticing.

After almost half an hour of riding, they arrived at their designated bus stop. Ivette got up to leave as Delfi followed behind her and they both got out of the bus. Delfi looked around, she hadn't seen this part of the city, she was sure. But this area looked kinda poshed. She doubted if there really was some club in this area.

"Let's get going then" Ivette said as Delfi again nodded at her. Both of them then made there way towards the club. After taking some twists and turns, they were finally in front of the club.

'Red Velvet' the large board hanging at the entrance of the club read. Two bouncers were standing at the doorway, filtering the crowd to let them in. Ivette then held Delfina's hand and made her way to the door. One of the bouncers looked at her as if he identified her immediately and then pointed at Delfi.

"She's with me." Ivette said as the bouncer nooded and let them in.

As soon as then entered the club, the smell of alcohol reeked their nostrils. Delfi looked around and all she could see was middle aged men sitting and drinking or dancing with some half naked girls in between them. The sight disguisted her. Her breath hitched. She wanted to run away from here, but she knew she had no choice. She clenched her hand in a tight fist and took a deep breath to calm herself down. Ivette then led her through the side of the club to the corridor on the left. They entered the first room, which had 'STAFF ONLY' playcard on it.

As they entered inside, Delfi saw a man dressed in black suit standing there talking to a girl in lingerie. This man looked like the manager of this club.

"Hello Steven" Ivette said as the guy turned to look at us.

"Hello Gracia. And this lady right here is?" He greeted Ivette and then asked, raising an eyebrow while glancing at Delfi.

"Del-" Delfina began but Ivette cut her off.

"Sandra. She's Sandra" Ivette said as the manager smiled at both of them

"You know, people don't usually use their real name in this profession." Steven told Delfi as she realized why he addresses Ivette as Gracia and just now why Ivette told her name to be Sandra. So, she then nodded in understanding.

"She is the one I had informed you about" Ivette told the manager as he nodded at her.

"Gracia, you should go and get changed. You are already late. I will have a talk with the lady." He said as Ivette immediately nodded and went through one of the doors at the back of the room.

When the door opened, Delfi could take a brief glance inside the room and she saw that some other girls were there inside already.

"So, Sandra?" The manager said as he took a step towards Delfi

"Hmm yes?" She answered

"Have you worked at any club or bar before?" He asked her

"No. This is the first time." She replied nodding her head in a no and not meeting his eyes properly, she was very nervous about this whole thing.

"Then what brings you here now? Are you in need of money?" He asked

"Yes. I need money and my part time jobs don't pay enough." She replied

"So what position would you like to work at?" He asked her

"As a bartender or waitress maybe" she replied

She was well aware that even the mere waitress of the bartender in this club would be in lingerie and seducing the customers, but then that was the reason the pay was higher than any other restaurant.

"Oh! Sorry to inform you but we don't have any vacancies for those two positions currently." The manager replied softly.

"Oh okay. Then is there some other easy going position? I mean I haven't really did this job before, so….." She replied looking at the manager with a little hopeful and a little scared eyes.

"I think the pole dancer position will suit you." He said hesitantly as her eyes widened

She came here preparing herself to serve food to these hungry asses, but she wasn't prepared to serve her body to them yet. So, she was shocked when the manager suddenly offered her the pole dancer position.

"I had already told Gracia that we only have vacant position for Pole dancer, stripper and private dancer. But well, I think out of these pole dancer one is the most easy going. Because- let me be frank, stripper have to completely undress themself on the stage and for private dancer, it's almost like call girl, after taking them in a room, we can't control what they do, though that pays more than any of other positions, but still, that's tough, especially for a newbie." He replied

'Ivette already knew that the bartender and waitress positions were not vacant? Yet she didn't tell me about this, why?' Delfina thought to herself.

'Maybe she just didn't want to scare me away. But then what am I supposed to do now? Should I give up and go back and try to find some other job? But then I have already tried at many places, but none of them pays this much, not to mention the payments are made on a daily basis. Maybe I should just take this job. I will just have to dance while hugging a pole and bear some people's lustful eyes. That's it. You can do that, Delfi.' she told herself as she took a deep breath before speaking.

"Fine. I will take the pole dancer position then" she said as Steven smiled at her.

"Good, but first I will have to see your skills, you know. Go get ready, we will get you on the stage in ten minutes. If you are good enough, you keep this job." He said as he guided her to the door behind which Ivette had just disappeared.

"Take Gracia's help and get ready. I will be here." He said as Delfi opened the door and got inside.

This room was bigger than the previous one. On one side of the room, there was a big rack filled with clothes put on hangers and on the other side there were a bunch of girls getting ready. As she entered, everyone looked at her and smiled. One of them was Ivette too who immediately came by her side and held her arm.

"What happened?" She asked Delfi

"He said that only pole dancer position was available" she replied though she already knew that Ivette knew

"So?" Ivette questioned again

"So I took that position. But he said I will have to show my skills first and if I am good enough, I will get this job." She replied

"Oh that's good. And don't worry, you will do fine. I have seen you dancing in the college function, you are quite good at it, I am sure you will do good." Ivette tried convincing Delfi

"I don't know man, I am so nervous right now. I know dance, but pole dancing is something different, I have never done that before, in fact I haven't even seen that before as far as I remember." She said as she heaved a deep breath

"Do you want me to help you?" A girl who was getting ready besides them said, coming forward after hearing their conversation. Both of them looked at the new girl not understanding what she meant, to which she just smiled in return.

"Monica" the new girl extended her hand to Delfi, who gladly shook her hand and introduced herself

"Sandra" she said and smiled

"I am a pole dancer here. If you want I can teach you a couple of moves." The new girl offered

"That will be great" Delfi squeaked

"Come with me then" Monica then took Delfina's hand and led her to the back of the room which had some empty space.

"First let's choose a dress for you." She said after which she started looking through the dress present on the smaller rack at the back, which Delfi hadn't noticed when she first entered the room.

"Let's go with this dress" Monica said as she pulled out a hanger from the rack. She then took the dress off the hanger and handed it over to Delfi, who took a closer look at the dress.

It was a black designer bra along with a flowy floral micro skirt. She looked at it and took a deep breath, she then looked at the other girls in the room, most of whom were there in just lingerie.

'atleast I get to wear a skirt,' she thought to herself as she looked for the changing room. She then found a portion of the room separated with the curtain where she went to get changed. She then came out wearing the pair of dresses that she was given.

"Now let's get a light makeup done on you" Monica said this time as she then helped Delfi put on light makeup, and given her natural features, she looked absolutely beautiful.

"Perfect. You look good. Now, first of all, don't be nervous. Don't think much about anything. And even when you will go out there, just think that you are dancing alone, don't think much about people's stares at you or their comments, that's the most important thing. Otherwise pole dance is just swaying your body with the pole. But still, I will teach you some basic moves.

After that Monica stretched her legs a little and held her hand in front as if she was holding onto the pole.

"Hold the pole like this, then put your right leg here and rotate" she said as Delfi nodded understandingly

Just like that she taught Delfi some more moves which would probably help her get this job.

"This much would be enough for you to get the job and then you can always practice before the club opens" Monica told Delfi as she finished teaching her the last move.

"Thanks Monica. I desperately need this job. What would I have done without you?" Delfi said as she smiled at Monica who returned her smile sweetly.

"I know dear. I could see that on your face. Also, after all, all of us are here because of our own reasons, otherwise no one really likes to do this. Now, stop being nervous and ho out." Monica replied as she then pushed Delfi lightly, towards the door.

"Good luck" she said behind her

"Good luck Sandra" Ivette too said

When she came out the manager was sitting on the couch of the first room, looking through something on his phone. Feeling a presence in the room, he immediately looked up to find Delfi standing there all dolled up.

"I was waiting for you. Are you ready?" The manager asked her, while getting up from his seat.

"Yeah, I am ready" Delfi replied, but she wasn't as nervous now.

She had mentally convinced her that whatever she was doing was the right thing to do and that she had to do this for her family, for her father's debt and her younger brother's studies. Also, after hearing Monica's words, she became even more confident that she would do well and that she is doing no wrong, it's just the situation.

The manager then made his way out of the room after signalling Delfi to follow him, which she immediately did. They then entered the main area of the club as they stood in a corner. Soon some of the girls who were in the changing room came near them, while others were serving drinks and food and giving lap dances to some people.

"Aria, you go first" the manager said as the girl in red designer undergarments made her way to the stage.

The men in front, most of whom were dead drunk by now, looked at her with a hungry gaze, but she seemed unbothered, maybe she is just used to all this now. She then took the middle pole on the raised platform, out of the three poles and held onto it tightly with both of her hands. She then bent down, widening her legs as her hands slipped down the surface of the pole. I suddenly remember Monica teaching me this move and I tried to take mental notes of what all I was supposed to do.  She then came and stood in front of the pole and turned around so that now her back was facing the people in front. She then held onto the pole and bent again. This time her ass cheeks were visible to the people in front who kept looking at her with lustful eyes. She then continued on with her dance, totally unbothered by people's gaze and words. Suddenly, one of the men came forward towards the stage and extended his hand to touch Aria. At that time she was in a kneeling position, so the man could easily touch her. He traced his hand over her arm and then over her chest and then went on to put a hundred Euro note in her bra. Aria then smiled at him and went on to continue her dance.

At first, Defi panicked when the guy started touching Aria, but then when she saw him putting a hundred euro note in her clothes she was shocked too.

'A hundred bucks just like that!' she thought

She kept observing, as a voice interrupted her.

"You are next up Sandra. Go take up the other pole." She heard the manager say.

Suddenly she became very nervous.

"Shhhh Sandra, don't worry. And don't think too much. Just remember what I told you." Monica said while trying to console her when she passed by her with slow steps.

Delfi then nodded at her and smiled a little. She took a deep breath and turned to the stage with a smile on her face. She made her way up the stairs leading to the stage and went towards the pole on the left side of Aria. She gripped the pole with her right hand and fixed her right foot over it, turning a circle on the pole. She could feel hungry gazes eyeing her up and down but she tried to maintain her calm.

'I have to get this job anyhow' she told herself as she tried to convince herself that this is the only way for her to save her family.

She then held the pole in both of her hands and sat down sexily, splitting her legs and then got up moving her hips back. She went on with her sensual dance as she could feel several people looking at her. When she turned to her right, she saw Monica already dancing on the pole to the right of Aria and coincidentally Monica too looked at Delfi at the same time and gave her a reassuring smile. She then saw a man approaching her. The man must be in his forties and his wife and children must be waiting for him at home while he is busy here staring at other girls, she thought. But then she remembered that the man approaching her meant he was here to give her money. So, she then seductively bent forward while one of her hands held on tightly to the pole to keep her from falling. The man then caressed her arm with the back of his hand and spoke.

"What's your good name, darling?" He whispered in her ear.

'Darling my foot. Go and call your wife with those sweet names instead of trying to find pleasure with the women outside' she wanted to scream at his face. But she maintained her calm and smiled at him.

"Sandra. Sandra Park." She said seductively, while coming up with a fake name for herself.

"You know, you look beautiful Sandra." The man in front of her said as his hands now moved over her shoulder, tracing her collar bone. His index finger went under the strap of her bra and went down and down. He then pulled her bra a little and with his other hand put a hundred euro note in her bra. His hand then fell down while touching her clothed breast. After which he smirked a little and went back to his seat.

Just a minute later another man in a black suit and tie approached her. He was even older than the previous man, probably in his fifties. He traced his hand over her body from her legs to her waist and up to her shoulders, making sure to brush against her clothed breast.

'Disgusting' she thought but still kept dancing.

He then put a hundred Euro note inside her bra on the other side with his other hand. Both of his hands then moved over her clothed breast down to her exposed waist and then he sat back at his place. Her moments stopped for a moment as her body froze in place due to the man's actions. But just that very instance she remembered that the manager was looking at her. One mistake and she might not get this job which paid well enough for her and her family to stay afloat, so she immediately started swaying her hips again while grinding on the pole.

Two other people too came towards her after that, giving her a few hundred euro notes. One of them even went on to put it in the hem of her panties underneath her skirt. But she successfully walked through that phase as well. After a little more than an hour, the manager finally signalled her to get down from the stage. And then she immediately walked down the side of the stage though maintaining her professional walk till she walked out. The manager then walked to the room where they were before, and Delfi followed behind him.
