~Rose~
What the hell do I do?
I already said that it was a mistake, that I hadn't intended on stealing anything. This was supposed to be the part where he let me go. But he wasn’t. He was holding a firm grip, so firm that it was stopping my blood flow.
”I think I should-”
”No.”
”You’re a pick-pocketer huh?” He said and stepped closer.
I held my face void and stern. Not admitting to anything, but it was as though he could see straight through me. I saw movement from behind him and looked over his shoulder. My eyes locked with Elvis, I gave him a pleading glare, thinking he would come and help me. But he left, he looked at me and then he turned around. Followed by the others.
I couldn't believe this, we were supposed to help each other out. But they abandoned me.
”Your friends?” He asked and looked behind him, seeing what I saw.
”Apparently not.” Anger was noticable in my voice. Those idiots left me behind. Something I would've never done to them.
”I have a job for you.” He said, catching my attention.
My head snapped to him and my furrowed brows gave away the confusion.
”A job were your skills will come in handy.” A glum grin started playing on him as he let go of my arm. But he was standing close. Weirdly, I didn't mind. His close proxemity didn't make me uneasy.
”I already have a job, and I'm not a pick-pocketer.” I said, standing my gorund.
”Is that so?” With a swift move he grabbed my bag and yanked it of my arm.
”Hey, give that back!” I shrieked and tried reaching for my bag. But this man was built like a fucking tower. He was tall and broad. Now that I could see his body, it just made everything worse.
I got a tingling sensation between my legs. Feeling the wetness that was building up.
I never felt this with Elvis, was that saying something?
”Tell you what,” he said and raised his head from looking in my bag. ”You do this job for me-no questions asked- or I take you and your bag to the cops.” I gulped, feeling worry stir in the pit of my stomach. The cops. They could choose to tie a lot of thefts to me.
”So, sweetheart,” he said, stepping closer once more.”What will it be?”
* * *
I was in Tylers office. He was nice enough to provide me with a name at least.
I had chosen to take the job, knowing if he went to the cops, i’d be charged with enough to send me to jail.
Tyler was in a meeting, he told to me wait here. So I was sitting on an armchair, on the thirtieth floor of a massive building.
Which, apparently, he owned.
I had been sitting here for nearly thirty minutes. I didn't want to walk around and touch stuff, afraid I might accidentally break something. It all looked so expensive and fragile.
The door opened and Tyler walked in, accompanied by his friend from earlier, Noah.
They walked around and both took a seat, Tyler behind his desk and Noah beside me.
”So, what’s the job?” I asked, crossing on leg over the other.
”Eager to start, are you?” Tyler asked me with a smug grin. I matched his grin and leaned closer to the desk.
”Eager to leave, would be more accurate.” His smugness stayed, unfortunately and I knew that I would regret this emensly. But at least I didn't have to go to jail.
”It starts in a month. We will hold an event, for men only, where we always invite women. Usually we only hold these types of nights once a year and this years, was erailer today. But we’ll make the arrangements.” I stayed quiet, waiting for him to continue.
”The girls we hire are,” Tyler looked around the office before his eyes landed on me. ”Exotic dancers, there to please and do as they’re told.” My mouth fell open, my eyes going dry because I wasn't blinking. He did not just say that.
There were so many ways he could've fraced that sentence, and he went with that?
He better not expect me to be one of those girls.
”I expect you to be one of those girls,”
I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest and hitting him with my hardest glare.
”That is not going to happen..” I said, emphesizing every word.
”Fine, then stay here and make yourself comfortable while I call the cops.” Tyler got up from his seat and picked out his phone. I quickly flew to my feet and went in front of him.
”No, i can still do the job, just tell me where he is and what he looks like and I’ll get you whatever it is you need. But I'm not getting undressed and sitting on his lap.” I scowled at him, hoping my words pennerated that thick head of his.
”There is no other way to get in touch with him. He’s a loaded, paranoid guy, walking around with body guards twenty-four seven. The event is the only chance you got. Unless of course,” he tilted his head to the side and looked at Noah. I looked between the two of them eagerly, my eyes wide and desperate.
”Yes? What? Anything other than that,” I said.
”Well, you could fuck him,” my face fell and I sighed, a low grunt escaping me before I could stop it.
”No, I'm not going that,” how low was I willing to stoop to stay out of prison?
I sure as hell wasn't about to give someone the one thing I had saved for a special person.
I sighed in defeat once more and shook my head. I walked over to the armchair and sat down, straightening my back as I looked up at Tyler. At first he seemed upset, angry, confused but I couldn't understand why.
”Call the cops, I’ll wait here.” And then his face relaxed.
His eyebrows furrowed and he looked down at his phone.
”Why don't you just get naked and dance for him? I am paying you a lot to do this,” I stared at him in disbelief.
”It isn’t just to take ones clothes of and sit on someones lap, it’s not that easy. Just because you guys pay some to do that, doesn't mean it’s easy for them either.” My voice was edgy, bordering on raging.
”And I won't do it just cause you’re paying me. I have money, plenty of it, the only reason I'm in this office is because I didn't want to go to jail. But I realize now that I knew what I signed up for, and I'm ready to take whatever pushiment is headed my way. Because ’not going to jail’ is not worth losing my dignity over.”
Tyler looked baffled, at a loss for words even.
Even though I was upset at him, I couldn't help how it also turned me on. His stance was powerful, his eyes held authority and his whole aura demanded it to be given to him.
But I wouldn't bend to his every whim, I'd rather go to jail.
I was sitting next to Noah in silence, neither of saying anything to the other. Tyler had gone out, doing good on my wanting to talk to the authorities.Something my mother always told me, was that no matter where life took me, I should never owe anyone. Because it always ends up slapping you in the face.I thought back to before she passed, how easy everything was even though it was difficult.Yes, she was sick. But she never acted like it. Even after her treatments when I would take care of her, she would tell me to stop fussing over her.I missed her greatly, I missed her words of comfort and wise words. She always knew exactly what to say. Whenever I felt sad because I did bad on a test or when I would fight with a friend, she would always make me feel better. She was my whole wo
I was in one of Tylers hotels. I had called him after I left Elvis, asked him if the offer still stood.He sent me the address after I told him his driver didn't have to come. It took some convincing but eventually he falltered.I was standing in the lobby, waiting for the receiptionist to give me my room key.She walked out of the back with a few forms I had to fill in which I did.”Here you go, top floor. Use the elevator furthest down,” she said with a bright smile.I thanked her and started walking to the elevator, my suitcase dragging behind me.I got in and hoped for no one else to enter, I wanted the peace and quiet. And to my surprise, I didnt have any other guests riding the elevator.
Two weeks had gone by and I hadn't been doing much. Two weeks gone, meant two weeks left but I didn't want to think about that. It would mean I had to get undressed and dance in a room full of men. Flirting with them and being close to them.The furthest I had ever gone with Elvis, was kissing him.I hadn’t ever done anything else with him or any other man for that matter. When I was in school, my mind was on my mother and getting good grades, not fooling around with guys and hooking up with some random person. I never went to parties because I didn't want to leave my mother alone. I wanted to spend every waking moment I had with her.And now, all that was about to hit me in the face. I was stepping out of my comfort zone, big time.
~Rose~He wanted me to be his date?Or his cover story?It must be a cover story. I've seen the way he looks at me, just like every other guy did. With lust, only much more intense.The strangest part was, he never made me feel uncomfortable.He wanted me to go to an event and meet his parents, how does one act on such an event?And why did his parents have to be there, it only made things so much harder?”I’ll pay you, of course, for your services.” And then it crashed. He just had to go and open that big mouth of his.Pay for my services?I’m not an escort.”Another five hundred thousand.” That would make the total one million dollars by the end of this month.&nb
Tomorrow was the event. I had placed everything up neatly so that it was ready. I couldn't wait to wear it and I had never had that feeling before.It was new and exciting.I had showered and done a face mask, now I was sitting and continuing to watch the tutorials on how to give lap dances. It didn't look pleasant at all.They were sitting on the men's laps, swinging their hips hypnotically and with such fines.How in the world does one learn that?I got up from the couch and started swinging my hips back and forth, doing as they showed.It felt wrong for some reason. They looked to feel so comfortable with it, it looked natural. So why do I feel like a hippo dancing around?I felt clumsy and not at all erotic.I sat back down and rewatched it. I h
Today was the day.The event was tonight and only a few hours away. I had showered and was letting my hair air dry.I was painting my fingernails, a natural creme beige color, as well as my toenails.I decided to curl my hair and clip it back. I had a few pieces of jewelry that I opted for, and for some reason, even though I was nervous, I was also excited. Excited to dress up and get dolled up to go out. To look like a princess, if only for a night.I walked like a penguin to the kitchen, making sure the nail polish doesn’t smudge.I grabbed a glass and poured myself a glass of wine.The closer it got to seven a clock,
Clara had gone off as well. She saw someone she knew and wanted to talk to. I stood there alone, in the middle of a large ballroom. People were walking around, socializing and I felt a sudden urge for air. I saw how everyone mingled, fitting into the high-class society, and then there was me. A misfit amongst the rich and powerful. I finished my champagne and placed the glass on a passing waitress's tray. I looked across the room and saw two opened double doors, leading outside. I walked slowly through the crowd, nodding my head and smiling at the strangers. The sudden feeling of miss belonging was making it hard to breathe. I was so close to reaching the doors. I had walked out of the ballroom, about to step over the threshold and out on the balcony, when a man stepped in my way. ”What’s the
We were back in the hotel, Tyler said he’d stay here tonight and I didn't argue. It was his home after all.” Your sister was lovely,” I said as I went to the kitchen to fix myself a snack.”As was your mother,” Your dad was a prick, I thought but didn't say.”And my father?” He asked me with his perfect brows raised.”He was the least charming of the bunch,” I said and felt a hint of pride from my choice of word.Tyler's dad was a man with whom one doesn't argue. You don't talk back, you don't swear and you behave well. Only the elites are worthy of his company.He was a great businessman, a man of honor when it came to working, worthy of his title.&n
~Rose~ I had woken up to an empty apartment, still wearing my clothes from yesterday. I was stadning by the window with a cup of coffee in my hands, looking out over the city. The people were moving around beneath me, going to their destinations, and some, wondering what their destination was. How did my life take this turn? How did I go from making a living by stealing from people, to signing a contract, giving myself to a cold-hearted, gazilionare-CEO? That question had been tormenting me for the past week. And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't think of an answer. I was so lost in my thoughts that I jumped when the elevator pinged. Right away, the butterflies within me stirred awake and started fluttering around. My inconvenient feelings arising and that dreadful piece of hope, clinging to my heart, wished it
”Thank you so much for tonight, it’s been lovely,” I said and hugged Daniella tightly. I removed my hands and tried pulling back, but Daniella had a firm grip and no intention of unwrapping her arms.Her warm embrace was welcoming but disheartening as well. I didn't want to get used to it.The comfort from a woman who truly cared, who exuded love and warmth, the only other woman who I ever felt this with was my mother. This wasn't my life, I didn't have someone too hug me and tell me that everything would be okay. If I ever allowed myself too get used to this and then have it ripped from my arms, I don't know if my heart would be able to handle the void it would leave behind.”I’m so very sorry for your loss, Rose. But if ever you need someone for advice or help, anything at all, just tell me. I'm here.” She whispered, quietly eno
Daniella had tears in her eyes, but they were also swarming with pride. I couldn't understand why, I thought I had just fucked up big time but it felt good getting everything of my chest. Ms. Davidsson cleared her throat, everyone shook of their initial state of shock and turned to her. Her nose was wrinkled but other than that it was imosible to tell what she was thinking or how she felt. This woman was a master at hiding her emotions from the world but you shouldn't hide them from your family. ”Thank you, Daniella, for the dinner. I think I'm going to go lie down a while.” Patrcia got up and gave me one last glare, her eyes held emotions I couldn't decipher, she was like a closed and locked book, impossible to read.Her green eyes were lifeless, her lips pressed in a thin line and her nose was up in the air. 
~Rose~ ”You made it!” Clara shirked and ran up to me, wrapping her arms around me. I hugged her back and giggled and she dragged me and her brother into their lake hosue. When I first heard the word ’lakehosue’ I expected a smaller, wicker house by a lake, like a cozy cotage. What I didn't except was a humongous mansion with three stories and an entire private lake with three jetskees and a yatch outside. It was not at all what I though it would be, but then again, what is when it comes to billionaires. Or gazilionares. I'm not sure what category they're actually in but something tells me it’s the latter. ”Hey sis, no love for your big brother?” Tyler teased with a much to sincere pretend-hurt expression on his
~Rose~ We were back in the penthouse, I hadn't spoken a word to Tyler the entire car ride nor in the elevator. I was furious. Yes, I agreed to sign the contract, but when I said I didn't want to go I meant well. I meant for Tyler to spend time with his family without my interference. Without our charade having to be played and everyone believing the lies we told. I wanted him to spend quality time with his sister and mom, though I couldn’t give two fucks about his dad. I went straight to my room and closed the door, needing the space and the silence to think and try to get a hang on me emotions. I slumped down on the bed, my hand covering my face and from nowhere, the tears started streaming down. I never cried in front of people, only when I was
