Chocolate sweetheart for LORENZO

Reduced to Nothing

I spent 2 whole nights at my boss's house. I never pegged myself as a person who might end up sleeping with her boss one day. I guess life is full of surprises.

Now I'm back at the club and I feel like I've been reduced to nothing but I don't regret anything I did.

Gwen and the other girls that I've come to know over my time here asked where I've been and I told them that I was home. I told them that my parents wanted to see me. It was a blatant lie but they don't know that I actually ran away from home and I don't think they have the need to.

Luca already knew were I was so he didn't ask any questions.

When I came back Celeste wasn't around and I really miss her.

I can't wait to tell her what happened.

Girls gotta gossip some times right and I found the best partner to do it with.

I called Celeste to let her know that I'm back and that I really missed her.

I've been in my room alone since I came back and my brains are starting to feel like they're getting fried from all the overthinking. I can't help but think about my parents, what they're doing, how they're doing and if they miss me.

A soft knock on my door resonates in the entire room pulling me out of my thoughts.

Maybe Celeste is back.

I rush to the door to see who was there. Right now I would really appreciate any company. I still have a bit over 5hours to start work and there's nothing else to do.

When I opened the door I was greeted with an overly excited Luca. I feel like I already know what he wants to talk about judging from that rediculous but charming smile plastered across his face.

I gave him a hug cause I'd really missed him. He just smells so devine.

"My darling Luna, you've been a naughty girl", he says giving me a coy smile. So we're gonna skip greetings? I guess we can just get to it.

"Please don't tell me you don't get laid", I say in a mocking tone.

"Let's just say I don't like going around sticking my beautifully sculpted c**k in every breathing thing but I get enough for somebody who's not in a relationship". I burst out into a fit laughter. Over my time here, I've gotten really close and comfortable around Luca that I don't even mind sharing some really dirty jokes with him.

"I think the opinion of it being beautifully sculpted is very much biased and I'd beg to differ". I retort

"Sounds like she knows how your c**k looks like Luca or am I wrong". A voice I didn't expect to hear let alone in my room resonates from behind us and we both turn around in shock.

Of course we didn't close the f*cken door.

"Lorenzo", is all I could say. He just stares at me like I've grown six heads or something.

"I'll excuse myself". Luca announces ditching me to explain something I'd rather not. It's not like I did anything wrong.

"I'm listening". Lorenzo pulls my attention back from the door where Luca just disappeared from.

"To?". I ask him

"I guess I don't deserve any explanations from what I just heard? ".

"You just heard two close friends sharing daring jokes that's all".

"As far as I'm concerned, Reo is supposed to be your boss not friend. And that didn't sound like you're just friends, it sounded like you've been in his pants".

"Is it a problem if I've been? I'm not gonna stand here and listen to you indirectly call me a slut. I know being a stripper doesn't really give me a decent image whatsoever or the fact that it didn't take me long enough to wake up in your bed doesn't make me the virgin Mary or good girl of the month but that doesn't give you a right to be suggesting things about me.

Now if you don't mind please leave my room ".

If he thinks I'm going to bow down to him and let him detect my life for me then he's in for a really big surprise.

With that he left my room and I shut the door behind him.

I listened to some music for a while and then decided to visit Gwen and grab something to eat.

After eating I decided to go to the private practice room I used during my training and practice for an hour or two.

I went to my room to change into some lingerie I could use on the pole and wrapped a scarf around my waist.

I took a lift to the first floor with Fiona. She was going to perform on stage. I told her that if I decide to cut my practice session short I'd go and watch her on stage.

I walked straight to the practice room, deciding that I'd pass by Luca when I'm done.

When I opened the door to the practice room, I regretted it soon after. The room was dark with all the lights off but I could make out what was going on. It wasn't that difficult to distinguish that there were two figures in the room. Somebody sitting on the couch and a girl on her knees satisfy whorever that was.

"Who the f**k is there?". That one voice that I've come memorize from the back of my head filled up the room keeping me rooted on my sport.

I couldn't manage to say anything. I couldn't believe it. He couldn't even hold it in. It didn't even take him long enough. It's not like I expected anything better from him anyway.

"I said who the f*ck is there?". Again, I didn't respond. "Go straight to Reo's office and tell him that you've been fired". He said with finality since I just stood there like a malfunctioning robot.

I couldn't say anything. I just turned on my heels and went where I've been told to.

I can't believe that I just lost my job. Atleast I've enough money to get by while looking for another job.

I felt a heavy pang on my heart.

I can't believe that I'm going back to square one. I cheer myself by telling myself that I can always look for another job as a stripper because it doesn't require any qualifications.

I'm going to miss this place though. I've come to make more friends here than I've ever did in my entire life of existing.

Celeste, she's become to grow on me as a friend and as a sister. I'm going to miss our late nights together.

I'll miss those dirty jokes I'd exchange with Luca once in a while.

I'll miss Gwen's food, hanging out with Cele, Cleo and Fiona in the kitchen or in one of our rooms.

But I won't cry over spilt milk. I collected myself before I placed a soft knock on Luca's office door but there was no response.

"He went up to his room on the third floor". Some guy said as he was passing by.

"Thank you" I said while walking to the lift to go to Luca's room.

When I stood outside Luca's room I felt debilitated, I couldn't grasp the situation I had found myself in.

I placed a soft knock and I heard footsteps walking over to the door.

Luca opened the door in just a towel wrapped around his waist.

"What's wrong Luna". Asked Luca pulling me into a hug.

That's when I realized that I was actually tearing up and when Luca hugged me I just felt like letting everything out.

"He fi...he fired me Luca". Luca froze like I had told him that the world was ending in a few hours.

"What the f*ck are you talking about, he wouldn't dare". Luca sounded really pissed.

"He did, I walked in on him with another girl and he fired me on the spot". I said with tears streaming down my cheeks.

I don't remember when was the last time I cried this much.

"Iet me go talk to him, he can't just fire you like that because he couldn't control his f*cken p***s".

"Promise me you won't Luca, maybe I just wasn't meant to work here or maybe to be a stripper. No offense to the job". I said while tryna lift up the mood as I whipped away my tears.

"So what are you planning to do now?" asked Luca.

"I'm going to call Molly and check if my room is still available. I'll stay there for the meantime while looking for something else to do".

"Ain't no way I'm going to let you go back there. You're my friend Miranda and a good one at that. If you don't mind, please come stay with me in the meantime".

"It's no big deal. Don't inconvenience yourself trying to prove how much of a good friend you're because I already know that you are dummy".

"It's not going to be an inconvenience at all, I'd also love some company".

"Thank you Luca".

"Let me get dressed so we can leave. Let's not spend more unnecessary time in this f*cked up and saddening place ". He tells me while heading to his closet.

He came out a few minutes later dressed in shorts and a summer shirt.

"Let's go get you changed before we leave".

I had forgotten that I was just in my practice outfit.

We went to my room and I changed into some bumshorts, a crotchet crop top and some sneakers.

"I need to pack up" I raised my concern to Luca.

"I'll send someone to pack your stuff and send it to my house don't worry. It'll be there before we get there".

"Thank you Luca" I say sincerely.
