His Stripper Chapter 43
“Isn’t it weird?” June said, sliding her back against the wall. Her frustration soared to the heights of Mount Everest.“What?” Ollie briefly diverted his gaze from the cat he was tending to, casting a glance at her before returning his attention to it. She pointed her index finger at him “That you’re the one good with the animals and not me.” Then aimed the finger back at her own chest. A wisp of laughter escaped his lips, dancing upon the air like a melody, almost melting her pent-up frustration. Emphasis on almost, because she caught herself quickly and continued. “If the cats should like anyone it should be me. So why you and not me?”When Ollie informed her that they were coming to the shelter as planned with David and Gab, June was over and beyond excited. Right now, not so much. The cats had only snarled at her ever since they arrived while they had been so lovey and jumpy on Ollie. She wasn’t mad at all. It just seemed all ridiculous to her that grumpy Ollie was good wit

June was shocked at the internal shrieks that sent a wave of excitement down her body when Ollie’s name popped on her phone screen. Thankfully, she managed to compose herself before Amy and Aiden who were grossly into the movie playing on the tv caught her shocking display. Why was she so fucking happy she was getting a call from Ollie and not from the job she applied for?—Job which if she didn’t get would be rendered homeless because she quit the strip club. Which was good news because she’d never felt more at peace than she was right now. And bad news because since most of her income came from stripping she needed equal earnings of part-time jobs to fill it. But this wasn’t the issue at hand. Her getting excited about Ollie was. She didn’t understand herself anymore.She let out a breath and tugged in her undesired surplus excitement—reasons for which she had no intention to delve—. Then she reached out to her phone, swiftly flicked her fingers across the screen, and lifted it t

Ollie cocked his eyebrows in confusion. “How dare you make me dress like this to a place like this?” Mere looking at the restaurant, she could tell it was the type that demanded cocktail dresses, dinner gowns, shiny pieces of jewelry, and expensive perfumes. And she missed all the point marks. ”You always look beautiful, no matter what you wear,” he said casually as if it were a known fact, and she was supposed to be aware of it. She took a deep breath as they stepped into the grand restaurant. It was the most extravagant place she had ever been to, and she looked so out of place in jeans and a sweater. “I hate you for doing this to me,” she muttered through gritted teeth to Ollie as a man in a tailored suit and a large mole on his nose approached them. “Guess I’ll have to remind you every minute that you’re beautiful, regardless of what you’re wearing,” he teased, and she playfully shoved him aside just as the man arrived. The man extended his arms with a gracious smile. “Mr.

As much as June needed time from Ollie to keep her feelings in check and bury thoughts about the both of them, she couldn’t. She still needed to pretend to be his girlfriend until he signed the deal with David and the deal hadn’t been finalized yet. So here she was telling an overthinking Gab that her fiancé would be here soon. “Don’t worry too much. he will be here soon “ June patted Gab’s back. Gab’s fingers danced across the darkened surface of her phone screen, rhythmically tapping as if to summon a response. “I dialed his number before I left.” She murmured anxiously. “He told me he was on his way and would get her before me.”Gab’s gaze darted back and forth between the entrance and June, her brows furrowed with worry. “What if something bad has happened to him?” Gab’s voice quivered. Frankly, there was no need for alarm. David might be caught up in literally anything which might be the cause of his delay. But Gab’s worry definitely felt wholesome. Gab and David were love

“You okay?” Ollie asked her for the nth time. As if he could sense something was wrong with her. He hadn’t stopped questioning her ever since she came back.She let out a sigh and clutched her stomach, desperately holding back tears.“Yes. I’m fine.” She said stiffly, hoping he would drop it. The last thing she wanted was for him to see her being her pathetic self over yet another person's negative opinion of her. Was it though? Or was it just the truth about her?A few minutes went by before Ollie gently wrapped his fingers around her chin, guiding her face towards him and meeting her eyes with his own intense gaze.“Don’t tell me you’re fine when I can see through you. I know something is wrong so now start talking.”This. She hated how she was such a transparent glass. She was pathetic and she was terrible at hiding it.She slipped her chin from the iron grip of his fingers.“I’m fine.”He seized her chin again.“No, you’re not.”She curled her leg inward and clutched her stomach a

“You are so beautiful.” She gushed as Gab emerged from the dressing room. Gab had pleaded with her to accompany her to her dress fitting and June had agreed. She shimmered with a bittersweet smile as she watched Gab twirling happily in her wedding gown with a grin on her face. The pristine gown, was like fallen snow, flowing around Gab in a mesmerizing cascade, resembling a fountain frozen in time. A longing tugged at her heart as she witnessed Gab’s bliss in anticipation of getting married to the love of her life. She felt a pang in her heart. Would this ever be her? “Thank you.” Gab shrieked. June could see her joy bursting through every fiber of her. “Although the waist might need some adjustments,” Gab added, tugging the loose fabric and turning to the designer. “Mrs. Turner, what do you think?” Mrs. Turner appeared by Gab’s side. While Gab pointed out the areas that required fine-tuning to the designer, June drifted off into her thought. Their voices muffled into the backgr

If he knew a picture of June in a wedding dress could fulfill his every desire, he would have had her wear it ages ago. Her beauty was so captivating that he could gaze at her endlessly. The moment his eyes landed on the picture, it ensnared him, and he found himself unable to look away.“You’re smiling,” Logan said as if as a question. Ollie fixed the smile on his face. He hadn’t realized he’d been smiling at June’s picture. “Oh, my god.” With a high-pitched tone, Logan said. “Oh, my god. It’s the apocalypse! Ollie is smiling. It’s the end of the world, Max.” His voice progressed into a shriek. “It’s the end of the world.” Ollie raised his head. “Quit being dramatic. I’m not some sadist who never smiles.” Logan stared him dead in the eyes. “You’re a sadist. I’ve never seen you smile before. Well, except now which is terrifying.” “That’s a lie. I do smile.” Ollie said. Then looked at Max. He was focused on the distant flag. “Don’t look at me.” Fucker. Logan grinned mischievous
