Try Something New; Happiness begins with you...... or is it me?.

Hey lovelies. Pls I apologize before hand for any mistakes seen in this story, It hasn't been edited yet so please bare with me. Enjoy the story guys, it's gonna be a bumpy ride. .................................................... “Michelle, you are up next after Carrie and you haven't even changed yet." I turned towards my longtime friend who looks quite frustrated with an arrogant smirk on my face. “Xia, I don't need to change I am good the way I am" Xia gives me an unimpressed look and I roll my eyes at her. “ Trust me girl, even if I walk over there dressed in rags I will still leave those men drooling all over me. That's a given." she glares at me “ugh I hate you, i really do. What with that confidence of yours it's annoying sometimes, how you are always right." I laugh knowing fully well what she meant. “ Oh my lovely Xiaomi," I repeatedly blink my eyes adorably at her “ There are so many things you are capable of doing, really long list of them but hating me isn't one of those baby girl. Trust me, I know." my smile widens as her baby blues flashes at me in a deadly glare but then she smiles at me in a way I know very well and my smile disappears. You see in the five years that I have worked for this club and the four years since I met and became close friends with Xiaomi, we have learnt to read each other so well that we could be twin sisters for all the world knew, Xia and I could feel each others slightest feelings it was sometimes very creepy and we couldn't stay away from each without feeling some kind of pain. Yeah weirdest stuff ever and we weren't even closely blood related. She was Spanish and I was an Afro-American true and true. She is an orphan and me? well I have no clue where my parents are or if they are even alive because they suddenly disappeared when I was eight and my maternal aunt whom I ran away - no - left when I turned eighteen, refused to even talk about them so yes I don't know but what I do know and what I have known for a while now is I have got only myself to fend for, no one else........ well except Xia of course since she and her younger brother are the only one I have come to care for. She had had a hard life in Spain before moving to Las Vegas and she had done really well for her self and Xander, her younger brother who by the way is turning eighteen in a few days. They only thing that I and Xia share apart from our age is our physical appearance. We have got the same hair colour and hair length, same jaw, height, body and shoe size (which is very convenient for when we need to borrow each others clothing), same skin tone, though hers is a little lighter than mine and almost the same color of eyes......Naaa lying! hers are brilliant baby blues while mine are brownish gold that changes shades whenever the sun or any light source hits it at the right angle. Now my point here is that we share almost everything and know much about each other that we really do come off as twin sisters to those that don't know us. And knowing Xia fully well, I could tell what her smile meant. She only smiles like that for two reasons only. one: when she's planning something I am not going to like or two: when something I really won't like is about to happen, so judging from the way she's staring at something or someone behind me I turn around bracing myself for option two and I come face to face with a very big problem, a very big six foot four, two hundred pounds, grinning like an i***t and glaring at the same time, problem. Oh man my exciting night had just suddenly became over exciting and all thanks to the hot Spanish specimen of a man who had just walked past the club's entrance and immediately locked gazes with me and who I might be attracted to if he wasn't such an i***t and an annoying one at that. I turned back alarmingly and stare at Xia who gives me an innocent look like she isn't secretly enjoying this. “Xia...." I growl out her name and she frowns. “ No, don't you dare Xia me, it's not like I called him here is it? she shakes her head while wagging her finger at me and then she smiles looking behind me “don't turn back, but he is right now making his way to you" she says and grins when she sees my panicked expression. “Oh Lord Xia what am I going to do?" “you know Elle you only have two options" she tells me “ you can either wait for him to come meet you here and then have a never ending talk or you can go to the back and change for your dance that starts in...... let see" she checks the silver wristwatch strapped to her wrist “ five minutes?" and I am already dashing towards the back of the club where the workers dressing rooms are located. I was in no mood to meet or talk to him, Miguel Saris. My worst nightmare while I was his obsession. I could hear him throw greetings to Xiaomi in Spanish while hell bent on following me but I was quite confident the bouncers at the door won't let him through after all it wasn't the first time I was running away from him and they were my friends so....... I might love Xiaomi to death but I despised Miguel the same way and till date I haven't yet figured out the reason or perhaps reasons why I hated him. I just did. I go through the entrance while greeting Joe and Sam the bouncers guarding the door, I could tell that they really would like to talk to me, they where my friends after all and I normally would spare the time to gist with them especially as today was my last day working here and I would really miss them actually I would miss everyone here at GIG's Club but I dared not stop or look back because I was on a mission and avoiding somebody so as I enter my room and lock the door behind me I make a promise to talk to them when I am done with work later on. Few minutes later, I am dressed and ready for the night. I smile at my reflection on the mirror, loving what I see, the very skimpy thigh length, off shoulder gold gown that looked like a one piece bathing suit hugged and caressed my body in the most form fitting way ever. Dancing was something I had learned to love, whenever I was up at that stage moving my body and watching all those lustful gazes of both men and women, watching them watch me I always felt powerful and invincible, like I could do anything I wanted and still get away with it. I sighed feeling sad, it was really a shame that this would be my last time dancing up that stage. I was going to miss it too that was for sure. “ Elle you are up in thirty seconds, are you ready?" “yes jack I will be there" I tell our stage director then exit the dressing room and follow him through the opposite side i had earlier came from and I hear the beginning of my introduction. “ladies and gentlemen, i present to you what you have all been waiting for, the Belle of the night, Miss Gold. Please enjoy." the MC says followed by a very loud applause and then silence as I mount the stage. It was weird and somehow funny how everyone had their eyes on me and yet I could still feel the difference and intensity of his eyes on me the minute I started dancing and as I moved my body around the tall pole at the center of the stage I find his green gaze on me as expected. I had really hoped he had given up and left the club before my performance but I should have known from past experience that Miguel Saris never gave up the chance to make my life miserable. I tried my best not to look at him or give if him any of my attention but it was like a mott to a flame, I couldn't resist locking eyes with him and almost like he knew my struggle he slowly grinned showing off his pearl whites and threw a wink my way, I felt an answering clench deep within me and that's when I knew; Oh boy I was in so much trouble I could almost taste it and then I hear his voice in my head “ run all you want baby, but I will always catch you" his grin widens “ did you miss me?" and I lost my footing..........
