"Cass, is everything okay?" Rockford asked before she managed to slip into the changing room's hallway as swiftly as she could.
"Yeah, no... my dad's BFF. I need to explain some stuff." She grunted and sighed while Rockford moved out of her way."You want me to kick him out?" he asked carelessly and looked ready to throw the guy out.Cassidy laughed but she felt defeated already. "No, it's okay, I just need to tell him the truth." She shrugged and thanked Rockford for his offer and close the door behind her.Twenty minutes later she was makeup free, wearing her normal clothes, and her books were packed in her backpack."I'm ready, let's go." She huffed when she was in front of Rowan."Cass?" the bartender asked when he saw her dressed and clearly ready to go back. The man couldn't help questioning her knowing his girlfriend will need details once she knows Cassidy was going home with a man before she was supposed to be doneCheerful on the outside, lonely on the inside that was how Cassidy goes about her days. It was her defense mechanism months after her dad, then her mom passed away. She would adore her twin brothers whenever they visited her for holidays, she loves them and they care for their big sister the same way. Cassidy had insisted that they stayed in a private school where their dad had enrolled them in, where Cassidy had gone throughout her younger days. Four more years and they will be together again unless they wanted to study somewhere else and that was fine with her cause she loves them and she wanted them to be happy. With all that had happened in their life, her little brothers deserved to be happy. While Cassidy, well... Cassidy will make sure she'd make everyone happy. She just needed to dance and let herself go.It was two weeks later when Rowan was back at the club and the man looked pissed that Cassidy was still twirling around the pole the second he
"You don't have a fucking clue! you signed the divorce papers, you signed the prenuptial agreement. You knew you won't get anything aside from alimony should you cheat. He was the freaking pool boy!" Rowan couldn't help but yelled at his ex when Heather decided to show up at his office and demanded that she should be given the small house by the city limits and one of the cars for all the three years that she had been his wife.Rowan should've not yelled at her, she would have sufficed by being told that she should have her lawyer looked into it, but his frustration was through the roof. He hadn't slept much last night since he came back from Cassie's. He kept on convincing himself that it was all for the better, but his dick had other thoughts. Rowan finally fell asleep after he jerked off imagining his best friend's daughter giving him a lap dance. When he came and soiled his hand he regretted it, and felt like a damn pervert for wanting someone as young as her.
Cassidy was nervous the whole morning, she was tired from studying and only got three hours of sleep. Her veins were infused by coffee. A cup of coffee and cream when she woke up, two shots of espresso at eight, a latte by eleven, and now a large ice americano just minutes before two. Any other person would be jittery by now, but Cassidy was used to coffee, she might not bounce around from the caffeine but her eyes and brain were alert for the next couple of hours. She wanted to wait for Rowan by herself, but Wren, the smartest guy in the class decided that he would accompany her until her rides arrived. "So, waiting on your boyfriend?" the okay-looking guy smiled a bit too friendly people might think he's a pervert. Cassidy cursed on the inside, she wanted nothing but to get away from him, but Wren had always been the nicest guy, ready to help her out with the notes and assignments. So she let him be."He's not my boyfriend." she shrugged and
"Cassidy, Rocco told me to wanted to talk?" Gage opened the door for her after he kissed Bree and let her out of his office, her face looked so goddamn happy lately it was making Cassidy envy."Um, yes.""And who's this?"Rockford stood behind Rowan ready to escort the man out should his boss deny him from coming into his office."I'm Rowan Madden, a family friend, and I would like to discuss further her employment issue." Rowan offered his hand and like a businessman meeting for the first time they shake hands and Gage turned to Cassidy silently asking if she was in trouble. The young college student shook her head, Gage nodded, walked inside his office, and dismissed Rockford."I would like to...""Cassidy would like to concentrate on her studies and end her work at the club," Rowan cut her words and Cassidy rolled her eyes at the man. She slumped back to her seat and was too annoyed to fight the man, thinking she could always
It was two weeks later when Cassidy meet again with Rowan, unexpectedly. She had just finished having a nice lunch with Wren, yes the nice guy from her class who was helping her with her schoolwork. Cassidy hadn't changed her major, and it was slowly drowning her in more work. Though that late afternoon her patience was thinning, and she was getting frustrated by how easily Wren told her to step up her game. Cassidy was not in her best state of mind, she hadn't been able to concentrate on her school work since she was called by the twins' headmaster telling her that they were acting up. The words acting up were too subtle for saying that her little brothers almost burn down their room when they were caught smoking cigarettes and panicked. She had spent two hours trying to convince the headmaster that her little brothers will not repeat the same mistake.Then she spent the next two days with them after they were sent home with her. Cassidy tried to discip
Rowan was half hard when he followed her to sit on the sofa. Her sly smile was intoxicating when she pulled out her phone and connected it with the speaker situated on the only console table in the room. "You fitted the room for me?" He chuckled and told her that he was not taking any pole dancing lessons in the near future. "And, you can use it anytime you want.""Really? I can put my stripper heels here?" The man nodded and visibly swallowed his saliva as if he was trying to calm himself down. He was already envisioning her here dancing for him with her stripper heels, for his eyes only. Cassidy laughed softly obviously noticing his reaction and she started to sway her hips to the first thumping beat of the music and slowly took off her denim jacket and threw it on the polish laminated wood flooring that was installed perfectly under the pole. She could already imagine how nice it would feel when she stepped and danced on it.
It was Saturday morning when Rowan called Kaitlyn telling her that he won't be attending the monthly meeting for the corporate strategy team. He had never canceled his attendance, the fact made Kaitlyn pause for a couple of seconds before she asked him, "Are you sick? do I need to go there and bring you some soup?"Rowan laughed and told her that he was fine. "No. I have company, I'll see you Monday.""Uh, wait, the young woman from the restaurant?" "Kaitlyn..." he didn't want to discuss Cassidy with his PA because she was not one of his conquests. He had never felt so strongly towards a woman, Cassie means more to him and he wanted to shield her from Kaitlyn's gossipy tendencies."Okay, okay. So, I'll see you Monday, submit the minutes meeting and let the guys know that you won't be coming this morning. Or will you at least do a video conference? Do you have an important issue that you want Connor to discuss with the team? I'm sure that the guy
Cassidy never thought she'd enjoy studying, but turns out she did when her companion was Rowan. It was weird but the way he kept quiet while working on his MacBook made it easy for Cassidy to focus on her subject. Or maybe it was because of the relaxing morning they spent watching people running away from zombies while sharing a seafood platter as their breakfast meal. Rowan even praised her perfect mix of ice lemon tea to go with their meal, telling her it had the perfect balance of sweet and sour. "I need another coffee, you want anything?" Rowan asked looking like he needed a break from his laptop. "Just water, I'm thinking of having a swim break after this." "Yeah, fuck it, I'll join you. Maybe a quick swim will clear my mind." They didn't go shopping for a swimsuit, but they did go back to Cassie's apartment and grabbed her books, clothes, and swimsuits, yep she snatched her one piece and a pair of sexy bikinis for daytime wear, perfect f
