Saving You

Chapter 1

Lauren's POV

It was about 3pm and I was still stuck up in my office at my building. I can't complain, my view is over looking the most beautiful ocean. I have so much paperwork to do and get turned in to my assistant by 6pm, which is 3 hours. I sit there for the next 3 hours doing all of this paperwork and finally I get done and give it all to my assistant.

I walk out to my red Range Rover and got in and started driving to my home until I passed a sign for a bar called "Pinky's" and thought I should go. A couple of drinks will help relax me. I type the address into my GPS and head there.

I pull up and walk in and get seated and a waitress comes by to take my order. I notice that there's a stage so I just figured that there's a little band coming. After about 10 minutes and my second drink, the curtain rises and I see 3 poles with 3 different girls dressed in no clothing. With only a thong and a tiny bra covering them. As they start dancing I notice one girl in particular. She has those big brown eyes and that long brown wavy hair, and the tiniest body, so petite. She looks so young, there's no way that she can be 21? I can't keep my eyes off of her, she's so beautiful. Why is someone so beautiful at a strip club dancing like this? She deserves silk pajamas every night. After about an hour of staring at her, the curtain closes and she's gone. I guess this is my sign to leave but first I wanted to go to the bathroom. As I was in the stall in heard a male voice screaming followed by the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. I quickly walk out of the bathroom and see the beautiful brown eyed girl pinned up against the wall by two men.

"The only reason I gave you a job here is because you said you'll fuck any guy after the show!" I take its the owner, screamed in her face.

"You will be coming home with me baby girl, you're mine tonight" this man slurred in her ear and attempted to kiss her neck.

"Please.. Not tonight.. Tomorrow or whenever please not tonight"

"You're getting paid $150 by him!"

Oh. This is about money. Something about this is not right. She's too beautiful and too small for this. I instantly walked up to them.

"I'm taking her home. $5000 cash right now." I spoke sternly.

Both men looked stunned and back off. The man who was trying to seduce her called back

"You'll be getting it tomorrow night, Candy! And so bad! It's not going to be enjoyable for you."

Candy? There's no way that's her name.
She went to grab a torn up bag and looked up at me with defeated eyes.

"Are you ready to go ma'am?"

I looked into those big brown eyes and could see them full of sadness.

I grabbed her hand and led her to my car. She climbed in the front seat and didn't say one word but suddenly put her hand on my thigh. I'm not going to lie, that little gesture made my insides go crazy, but it wasn't the right time.

"You know I don't want that from you, right?"

"You don't? Then why did you give me $5,000 in cash? I figured you would want to fuck me, or want me to fuck you?"

"Um.. Not exactly. When we get to my place we can talk about that but for now, what's your name beautiful?"

Beautiful just kinda slipped out of my mouth but she smiled which made my heart leap.

"Candy.."

"Your real name, please. I'm not an idiot."

"Camila." She whispered.

"Camila what?"

"Camila Cabello."

"How old are you, Ms. Cabello?"
