Nicole didn't mean to cut Reece off that night, but truly she didn't feel like explaining herself to him. Nor did she have the time for him to feel sorry for her like everyone else did. Nicole knew something had to change, and she had to be the one that did it. However, Reece made sure that they exchanged numbers before he let her out of his car to get into her own, but Nicole and her crazy self have been ignoring him for the past few days.

Still, that did stop him from coming to the club the next night watching her on stage. Reece also made sure he was the only one sitting there, and the other men acted as if they were scared to get close. Still, Nicole made over six thousand each night he came, and for some odd reason, Money didn't take any of it. It was like that whole weekend, and each night, he tried to make her get in the car with him.

The following Monday, Nicole went to work early. She still bruised in some places, so she needed Macey or one of the girls to help her cover them up. After her twelve-hour shift there, Reece was standing by my car once again. Nicole forced a smile unlocking her car, which he allowed, although she looked for him to stop her from getting in. Tonight Reece just stared as she got in the driver's seat, cranking up and pulling away.

Again, the next day was the same, but Nicole could tell that Reece was getting aggravated. She wasn't answering his texts or calls simply because Nicki wanted to stubborn, and he allowed it. Like now, she laid in the bed while her dad is in the living room, cursing himself out in his drunken stage was. Nicole found it entertaining sometimes, and Reece just texted her.

Reece: Nicole, stop fucking ignoring me!

Nicole sighed, turning off her phone and flipping herself over to sleep. The next day she went to work to find one of my patients dead. It was the first time for Nicki, and it hit her hard, but she made it through the day only to go outside at the end of my shift to find Reece waiting for her once again. Nicole let out a loud breath and walked to her car, about to get in when he stopped her.

"I'm tired of your games, Nicole."

"I need to get home."

"Nico..."

"Please..." She said, making him sight hitting the car. Nicole jumped but never turned to face him, which she thinks made him madder.

"GOT DAMNIT, NICOLE! Why gotta be so fuck stubborn? Just tell me who is hurting you."

"I don't know you."

"That is what I'm trying to do here. Get to know, but you keep shutting me out."

"I need to go."

"Fuck this! Don't fucking come calling me when your ship sink," He said, walking to his car slamming the door as he peeled off. Nicole sighed as a tear run down her face. Just so happen, Nicki looked back, seeing her co-workers staring, making her quickly jump in her car pulling off.

"Dad, I decided to cook toni... OH MY GOD!" Nicole said, shielding her eyes. Her dad had some woman on her knees giving him head. "I didn't know you had company," She said as the woman continued doing what she was doing. Quickly she tried to run to her room as he caught her by the arm.

"Why don't you join us," He laughed, making her eyes grow big.

"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR F-ING MIND!" Nicole yelled, pulling away. "I think I need to leave. I will be back when I think you two are finished." She said as her dad laugh, choking the woman by holding her head down on his dick, making Nicki quickly remove herself from the apartment.
