ALEX
"I want everything to be perfect! From my hair to my outfits, my shoes, my office, my house, everything! I'm a man of perfection and I really do not like lazy people do you understand? I see no reason why you shouldn't do your daily chores because I believe I pay you well. So do we have an agreement?"
"Yes sir. Sure sir.", Natalie, my new maid answered.
Natalie is the seventh maid I've employed in 3 months.
These maids never last. It's either they want to get in my bed, or they steal from me. I don't even get it, cause I pay them so high, their salaries can buy a house in Beverly Hills!
"Okay, good.", I answered sternly and walked towards my room.
I live in a six-bedroom penthouse in the hills.
Dark, cold, and quiet is my aesthetic. I hate loud people but I do hang out at rowdy places, like the club downtown owned by my best friend, Paul Douglas.
I hang out there every Friday night after work. There are so many hot chicks in there but none of them have caught my eye. I wonder how ladies will stoop ao
Low As to stripping and showing off their parts; if I ever find my little sis there, I'd beat the hell out of her instantly.
Paul has been my best friend since my high school days. We did everything together, we were almost inseparable. I went on to continue my family’s businesses after college when my dad passed, while Paul who has always been interested in the bar went on to open one.
“Hey man whats up?”, I shook out of thought when my phone rang and I picked it up. Paul called.
“Nothing bro, I was wondering if you could pass by the bar next week Friday; I want us to talk about something “
“Oh alright sure, next week is okay by me”, I answered him.
“Alright bro, catch you later”, he hung up.
Just after Paul hung up, another call came in.
Julia. Julia again.
Julia was my former Secretary. Hot, feisty, sexy, petite.
She was just my type of girl, but I could never take her seriously. All she ever wanted was sex, money, and a good time. She's indeed a good ride but that's all she'll ever be. I fired Julia cause all we ever did at work was fuck. And it was affecting my company badly.
We did it on my table, couch, toilet floor, in the lobby, in the car, and everywhere! I Couldn't resist Julia she handled me so well and it took me places I've never been before. But even after firing her, we didn't stop. We had sex whenever we met, and at every function, party or whatever. Julia was fire, and she still is.
“Hey Mark!”, she called out, sounding excited.
Mark. No one ever called me Mark except my late mom. I only let Julia call me Mark cause I felt safe with her at the time.
“Hi Julia, why are you calling?”, I didn't want to have a conversation with her, I knew she wanted money—or sex.
“Baby, I missed you, you know I haven't had anyone touch me in a long time. I just thought we could link up at Paul’s Bar and give each other a good time”, she whined.
One thing I'd never say no to is an opportunity to have mind-blowing sex and Julia was the girl for it.
“Okay, Friday next week, 11 pm”, I told her straight. I didn’t want a conversation.
“Okay baby boy”, she answered in a flirty tone and hung up.
MARGA
I walked into the store, not sure of what to buy. I had just $15 left with me. I was broke as hell and didn't know what to do. Just then I looked at my right hand and realized a card was in it.
Paul’s Bar. Club, restaurant, and stripping.
Why did I have this? Why didn't I give it back to the stranger I met at the door? “Oh silly Marga”,
The voice in my head spoke up again.
I also saw that it had an address and a contact.
I was going to return the card to its owner, but first I had to figure out what to buy for Mom and myself for just $15.
I staggered towards the meat shelf and got a pack, -$8 left. Then I took a baguette, -$2—was all I had left.
I paid for it and went back home.
While at home, I made lunch and then remembered I had to call Sally.
I put the call through to her.
“Hi, this is Sally Monroe, I'm unavailable now, please leave a message.”, the line beeped.
“Ugh, as always she never responds to first calls”, I sighed and walked into my room, I lay on my bed trying to think of something to do about Mom's treatment.
As I Lay on my bed, I thought about how beautiful it would be to just have a well-paying job that could get us out of this poverty. I barely ate, I was pale, chapped lips, and I looked like a moving corpse.
“What do I do?”, I asked myself.
“Get up and work dummy!”, the voice in my head snapped back at me.
“Like I haven't tried”, I snorted.
Just then, a call came in. It was Sally.
“Hi, Sally Monroe. I got your call, who is this please?”, she sounded so gentle and soft-spoken.
“Uhh Hi Sally, uhh it's Marga, from college—bestie?”, I answered, unsure of how she was going to react.
“Oh my God Bestie!!! Where have you been?? Like it's been four, or five years, oh my!!”, she sounded pretty excited to hear from me again. Just then, I knew the conversation was going to go well.
“Well uhm I've been around, working my ass off”, I replied dryly.
“Yeah right, definitely we need to see!! I'm super excited to hear from you again Marga. Let's meet tomorrow, I'm in Dallas.”
“Oh alright, sure thing girl, tomorrow, 4pm, Midnight Cafe.”
“Okay Marga byeeeee”, she hung up.
MARGAAfter Sally hung up, I sluggishly walked towards the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and I didn’t like what I just saw. I had grown so pale I could barely see my eyes, cracked lips, eye bags, my hair was fizzled. I looked a mess. Just then I remembered the card I found at the grocery store. I was going to return it back instantly.I quickly dashed out of the bathroom, threw my sweatshirt on and grabbed my phone and a $5 bill I found at the back of my pocket. I hurried downstairs and found my Mom at the dining table reading a book “See you later Mom!”, I yelled as I ran to the door.“ where are you off to Honey?”“Uhhh downtown Mom, what’s up?”, I stopped abruptly panting and looking her way “Nothing dear, just be careful”“Kay Mom!!”, I let out a sigh and rushed out the door I’ve been walking for over an hour and I haven’t seen a ride. Well that’s what happens when you live in the hoods right?“Taxi??”, I called out a taxi from 10 meters awayIt stopped in front of
ALEXIt’s Friday evening already. I just got off work and I’m so tired, but I remembered I have to meet up with Paul today, he has something he wants to tell me.“Man I’m so exhausted”, I murmured to myself whilst stepping into the shower. It was so hot, like 31 degrees.I took a quick shower and found something casual to wear. I asked Grace, my nanny to make a quick meal for me while I get dressed. I wanted some bacon with fries and a glass of cranberry juice. Grace has been with me since I was 8 years old. She practically raised me. More like a mom. I lost my dad when I was 14. That was the most challenging time of my life. I watched my mom slowly turn into a sad person. The bliss and joy in our home was lost. Everything became sad and dark. Happiness was never to be mentioned in our home. Every time my mom looked at me all she could do was cry. It got to a point where she casually started locking herself up, skipping meals and taking overdose on her medications. My dad’s death bro
MARGAMy alarm woke me up at 5am but I was too tired to even stand. I ended up snoozing till 8am. It’s not like I had anything to do today and besides my shift isn’t until 10pm. It’s Friday and I’m starting working for the first time at Paul’s bar, as a stripper.I woke up, had breakfast, made some for Mom, and I didn’t care if Denis was hungry or not.I received a mail from Paul asking me to collect my work outfit in 10 mins from the delivery guy.I heard the doorbell ring.“I’ll get it”, I stopped Denis from getting the door. It could be the delivery guy, and I didn’t want them to know what was in the package, or the kindhob I signed up for.I opened the door and saw the cute man and smiled instantly.“Hi miss, please sign here”, he said softly “Oh yeah, yeah sure” I chuckled and asked for a pen which he gave me. “Bye, thanks” he turned around to leave and I got back in the house.Immediately, I ran upstairs to avoid any questions from Mom or Denis.I opened the package and boy!
MARGAI ran till I reached Paul’s bar. It wasn’t very far from midnight cafe.I was so exhausted and it was alteady 9:40pm, I had just 20minutes to get dressed and get to work.I met entered the bar and it was so full of people. Probably some who came to pay for sex, some who came to listen to the live band, some who came for the strippers …like me.I could barely make my way through till I met a lady, a blonde. I asked her to show me the dressing room, which she did. She said her name was Bri and she was the top stripper. I also introduced myself and she was kind enough to help me get dressed and showed me a few moves on the pole in the dressing room so I don’t embarrass myself out there.She dressed me up, did my makeup, and lastly wore my mask. I won’t lie, I looked hot. I almost didn’t recognize myself. Bri had switched up my boring eyes to forest green and she put deep red lipstick on my lips. With my mask on, no one could ever know who this stripper was.I was set for work when
Marga’s POVI looked at him with so much disdain. Did he follow me? Why did Paul assign me to his room? Okay, maybe not an assignment but why did he accept this offer?? Bloody hell!I was going to slam the door in his face and walk away but $10,000 is a lot of money. Still glaring at him I shoved him to the side and got into the room. “Okay, I’ve got 10 minutes with you. Get down, do what you paid for, and let me get the hell out of here”, I told him as I walked towards the bathroom“And why are you going into my bathroom miss?”, he asked me “Well because I have to clean up duhh”, I rolled my eyes not looking back in his direction Was he so dumb? Did he want dirty sex? “Okay, I’m gonna give you $10,000 but I don’t want to sleep with you. Just get out of my face”“Free money? Just like that? You’ve gotta be kidding me”Why was he giving me free money? I didn’t wanna take it but a girl’s got to do what a girls got to do. My mom’s life was at stake here so I had to take it. “No st
Alex’s POV I heard someone ring the bell and I went to open it and there she was. The girl I hit earlier. “You again ?????”, she yelled, looking at me with so much disdain like I’d killed someone in her family “Uh, hi miss”, I waved shyly She shoved me to the side and walked towards my bathroomOkay, I’ve got 10 minutes with you. Get down, do what you paid for, and let me get the hell out of here”, she stated firmly“And why’re you going into my bathroom miss?”, I asked her, confused about what she wanted to do“Well because I have to clean up duhh”, she answered, not bothering to look back at me. I didn’t want to sleep with her so why was she going to clean up? I called out to her Okay, I’m gonna give you $10,000 but I don’t want to sleep with you. Just get out of my face”, I told her“Why’re you giving me free money?” She added From the looks of things, she wasn’t a stripper. She looked like she had no other choice. So I wasn’t going to sleep with her, I was going to send h
Alex Her voice was so subtle. I could keep talking to her forever for she sounded like an angel. I cleared my voice and spoke up again, trying to re-introduce myself before she freaked out and hung up on me“Hi, it’s Alex from earlier, I got your number from Paul”, I said abruptly On a normal day, I’d never do this but there was just something about her. I wanted to keep talking to her, her grumpiness and pouting made me go crazy, she looked so cute earlier when she tried to be rude to me and it made me want to see her even more. Not that I was attracted to her or anything, I just wanted her in my bed. I wondered how it would feel getting such a stubborn girl under my sheets“Oh, you again. Hi, why do you have my number?”, she asked in a rather odd tone “Well I didn’t catch your name, so I got your number from Paul. I want to see you again. Tomorrow, 6:45 pm, Veta Plaza”, I didn’t want to be soft with her. Soft is not who I am she had to know I wasn’t lusting after her foolishly.
Marga Before I could say anything I got interrupted by him “Hi, it’s Alex from earlier, I got your number from Paul”, he answered abruptly It felt odd, why did he have my number and why did he call me ? I wanted to hang up so badly but being rude to someone who just gave me $12,000 not upto 2 hours ago is insane “Oh, you again. Hi, why do you have my number?”, I asked in a firm tone I wanted him to say what he wanted from me quickly. I got up from my bed and starting pacing back and forth, not sure of how to feel. I was nervous and excited at the same time. His voice was the most soothing thing to hear and it made my heart flutter so much.“Well I didn’t catch your name, so I got your number from Paul. I want to see you again. Tomorrow, 6:45 pm, Veta Plaza”, he said, sounding like a grumpy little kid The hell?? What was that ? An order?. I mimicked him mockingly Was he giving me orders because of the money he gave to me? A hot flush of blood ran through my veins and I was s
MARGAWhile in the bathroom, I wondered what tonight was going to look like. I had never been to his house, I didn’t know anything about him, not even his name. I slouched into my small size bath tub which was just perfect for me. It wasn’t the coziest or most fancy but at least it made do for my little bath times. I didn’t have to break a sweat on making an impression with what to wear ‘cause he said he’s sending an outfit for me. I didn’t have any proper clothes, I was going to wear any of my rags. A tingly sensation traveled through my body and a hush feeling of excitement brought a coy smile upon my face. For the first time, I think someone was actually interested in me. I didn’t want to get my hopes up, but his gestures were commendable.I rose up from the bath tub, stretching my hand out to my faucet for support to stand upright. I grabbed my towel and ruffled it through my wey my hair hoping to make it dry. I felt like a well plucked chicken after shaving every single strand
ALEXI made it right in time for breakfast. Breakfast for me was usually lonely, with no one to eat with, unless Julia or Paul were around. I’ve asked Grace to join me several times but she doesn’t listen. So now it’s just going to be me on the dining, eating alone. Speaking of Julia, I haven’t seen or heard from her in a while. She’s probably fine. If she were not, she’d be here nagging either about money or sex. I was going to call her to come over but for some reason I was so hesitant about it. And Paul, I could go over to his bar to pay him a visit anytime. I hadn’t seen him in 2 weeks, I wonder how he was. I made my way downstairs and into my dining room. I was greeted with the fine smell of fried bacon and garlic bread which enveloped the room. I liked my bacon medium rare, anything other than that, I made sure not to eat.The dining room exuded an air of refined elegance, with its soft, muted color palette and opulent decor. The walls were adorned with tasteful artwork. I w
ALEXAs the first rays of sunlight gently peeked through the curtains, of my room, I wiggled in my cozy bed. I slowly opened my eyes, feeling well-rested and content after a restful night's sleep. The room was covered in a warm, golden light, casting a soft glow over everything it touched.I sat up and stretched, casually feeling stiff and sloppy. I could hear the chirping of birds outside, and a gentle breeze rustling the leaves of nearby trees. The air was crisp and fresh, carrying with it the promise of a new day.I knew I didn’t have to go to the office today. I had my assistant Gina cancel all of my meetings. I wanted to stay home today, moreover, I had a guest coming over later. With a warm smile on my face, I got out of bed and made my way to the window, to start my morning routine. I loved to watch the sunrise or at least be in the sun for 15 minutes daily. As I drew back the curtains, I was greeted by a breathtaking sight: the sky painted in hues of pink, orange, and gold a
MARGADon’t forget. 6:45 pm sharp, better be ready. My chauffeur will pick you up. He’ll give you a bag; in it, you’ll find a dress, a pair of shoes, and a clutch purse—and jewelry to match the outfit. Make sure you look stunning. I was awed by his audacity. What made him think I’d even want to go see him? He didn’t even ask me for my schedule or if I’d be free at that time. Such a grumpy man. I stared at his text a little bit longer, a line of sweat rushed down my spine as I felt a tingly sensation hover around my body. Uggh. I better catch some sleep now. I murmured. It was already 5:38 am and I hadn’t slept for a second. Today was going to be a long long day, the earlier to rushed to bed, the better for me. I rose from the dressing table and walked over to my bed, falling like a rock, forgetting to charge my phone which was almost dead.I slept off calmly after all the chaos earlier that night.No! I can’t let you hurt her, she’s only a child. She knows nothing. Do what you wa
ALEX Before I could answer Grace, I got distracted by a call from Paul. Thank God he called, I didn’t know what I was going to say to Grace that would convince her to leave my room. I smiled sheepishly at Grace, watching her glare at me with a look that said “You’re not off the hook”,I dashed out of my office into the lounge to talk to Paul.“Hey dude, what’s up?”, “Hi, yeah man all’s good. Uh have you heard from Marga?”, he askedI was a bit confused. I didn’t know who Marga was, or why Paul would ask me about her/him.“Who’s Marga dude?”, I asked trying to clear up my doubt“The girl from the club two nights ago man. The one you gave $10,000”, he addedPaul didn’t know I gave her $12k instead of $10k and I wanted to keep it that way for some odd reason.“Uh no, I haven’t heard from her, why ask”, “She hasn’t been to work in 2 days, i was starting to get worried, and her number is unreachable”, he stated“Ah don't know man, maybe you should ask the other girls in the club, they sh
