TOUCH OF SIN

Chapter Fourteen

Sheryl

Midnight merely nodded as he let me through, he was already used to seeing my face. He didnt need my identification card anymore.

Midnight wasnt his real name and the girls nicknamed him that because his skin was so dark. He liked the name more than his real name martin. Who even calls such a big black man martin? I threw myself in his hands and hugged him. He hated being touched and he froze for a second before shrugging me off like a plague. The girls loved making him uncomfortable and I was no exception.

"Good to see you again midnight." I laughed and walked away as he whispered something under his breath along the lines 'girls are slimy creatures'. I walked down the darkly lit corridor and up the stairs. The dark corridors gave way to the brightly lit corridors. I could hear soft the music blasting from the regular club it was 3pm and I knew that only a handful of customers were around but that will soon change when darkness struck. I stepped into the private elevator that belonged to the employees and punched in the 6th floor. OWLS night club was a big club the first and second floor was just a regular club, the third floor was a strip club and the fourth floor was for the private dances and VIP part. The 5th floor was full of guest rooms where other forms of fun continued. I grimaced as I remember what happened when I brought a customer to the 5th floor. Of course I ended up in his car and at his house and he paid my debt and bought me clothes. I wondered what could have happened if I some other man was my client instead of Wesley. I had been very lucky.

The elevator binged and opened and I stepped out. All the girls lived in the sixth floor. Not all maybe, but everyone had a room they shared with another. I shared my room with Mimi and knowing her she’d probably be dead asleep right now like most other girls. I knocked on our door five times before I heard shuffling followed by muffled curses and insults. She threw the door open ready to kill whoever interrupted her beauty sleep. When she saw my face she groaned and shut the door in my face. She slammed it open again before pulling me inside and locking the door behind us. She was always so dramatic. She threw herself on the bed and screamed into the pillow whilst I watched her with amusement.

“Youll pay for this Sheryl" She glared at me before throwing the pillow at me. I didnt even do anything, or did i?

"I was just having a dream where I was strangling Ryan to death and you interrupted me." She basically growled. I burst out laughing and threw myself on my bed as tears fell from my eyes. I really loved that boy Ryan. Ryan was nerdy white boy who made Mimis life miserable. From sending her flowers every day and calling her munchkin every time he saw her. Mimi hated flowers and calling her cute names could get you killed. For some reason he let Ryan live and he always torments her.

“He is cute though. I said and she groaned as she threw roses at me which Ryan must have sent the previous day.

“Take those. Maybe I should hook you up with him." I laughed even harder at her distress she looked cute pouting and all. Not that I'd ever tell her that, I didn't wish to die, not yet at least.

"Why are you here, I thought Mr. prince charming paid your debt?" She shot eager to change the topic. I blushed for some reason and Mimi didn't miss it. 

"I missed you." I said flashing her my teeth. She rolled her eye and glared at me.

"I was bored staying alone in his mansion like a princess distress and I owe Lucy three pole dances" That was true and I missed my best friend too.

"Since you wont be up to dance till almost midnight why dont you let me sleep for an hour. Wake me up at six my shift at the bar starts seven.” 

Before I could say anything she was passed out snoring. I sighed and covered her up. Mimi was the third floor bartender and she pole danced sometimes but she liked working at the bar. My feet took me to third floor. The strip club was empty and I took my time to familiarize myself with the poles. Mimi taught me herself how to dance and I recalled what she taught me as I swung and grinded on the pole. I was nervous seeing as I had never pole danced for an actual crowd before but I wanted to be done with Lucy and her stupid debt and the wretched club. And sometimes the only way out is through.

Soon it was six and I went back upstairs to wake up Mimi and prepare ourselves for the long night. An hour later we were dressed and back down to the third floor. I helped her serve drinks at the bar as customers started flooding in. it was 8:30 and I was starting to enjoy myself when I heard her wretched voice.

"I see you are here shandth." She sneered at me and I could feel all the colour draining from my face. "What did you give that man to pay for you all that money, don't tell me you promised to give sleep with him first the rest of your life? You are lucky because I was planning to work that tight fresh cunt till it was lose like your whore mothers" She laughed flashing me her brown teeth as she spewed all the hatred she had for my mom to me. My fingers trembled as I fought to keep my tears inside. I hated that I was so sensitive.

“He... He" my lips were suddenly dry as I remembered the torments she put me through. She had made me clean the entire fifth floor rooms since I finished high school not even two months after my mom's burial. I had to clean sex fluids and who knows what disgusting shit people did in the private rooms. She didn't give me any gloves and I had to handpick condoms.

“You disgust me. You are very lucky he paid me, I could have put that vagina to work till it was loose like your whore mother's, he will be tired of your boring ass in no time and return you back to me." She repeated her words and they words cut me like a knife and I always wondered why I always allowed her words to hurt me.

"Sheryl, why dont you go to the back and get me another opener." Mimi gritted through her teeth and I knew she was just trying to get me away from Lucy before she snapped a bottle on that fat womans head. I run to the back and burst into tears. I hated that I was so weak. I hated my mother for dying and Lucy for dumping all her debts on me. I already paid all I and my mom owed her and she was still being a jerk to me. I just needed to finish tonight and tomorrow night and I was free. I wiped my face and went back inside.

"Are you okay?" Mimi asked me when I went back to the bar. I could tell she was mad and there was a raging storm behind those dirty brown irises. I smiled sadly at her and nodded. I could tell she wasnt convinced but she let it go. Just one more night, Sheryl, just one more night, I chanted to myself. Tonight I'd do one strip dance then tomorrow I do two, then I was done. I wore my convincing smile and served the customers. They didnt need to know my life was a mess. Neither was I going to allow Lucy make my last nights at NIGHT OWLS a living hell.
