In love with his own killer

Chapter 13
Treasure's POV:

"Long time no see." Caleb said while wiping the counter.

"Nice to see you too Caleb." I took a seat in front of him.

"What brings you in today?"

"One benefit from working here was you always giving me free drinks."

"That was when you worked here."

"You know I still work here right. Just on a leave?" I actually don't know what's really going on with me working and stuff. Elijah don't want me to work but I still haven't had the guts to actually show up. Afraid of what he'd might do. Pussy move, I know.

"You okay?"

"Eh." I shrug my shoulders.

"In that case, what would you like to drink?" He leaned on the counter waiting for my answer.

"Gin and Tonic."

"Comin right up." While he's making the drink, I looked around the club. It wasn't too busy, but it was a lot busier than the average Tuesday night.

"What's going on today?"

"What do you mean?" He asked still working on my drink.

"Like why is it so busy?"

"Meeting."

"This is one hell of a meeting." I said looking at all the businessmen.

"It's barely a meeting it's more of a what I'd like to call, an intervention." He passed me my drink.

"Why'd you say that?"

"Every once in a while a lot of businessmen from around the world come to the club and get grinded by our finest, beautiful strippers." I touched my heart from hearing his words.

"That's how you feel about us?"

"How can I not?" He said with a look on his face.

"Caleb, stop you gon make me blush." Speaking of blush I'm glad I'm brown skin and blush doesn't show. If not, then I'd be redder than a tomato.

He laughed at my statement making me join him. "But seriously, some come to for real get grinded on and some come to talk business. Tonight, could go really good for some people or really bad." If a lot of men are here speaking business, Elijah is definitely here. I haven't seen him in a while.

"Is Lani working tonight?" I said finishing my drink.

"Nah she isn't. Looks like you're stuck with me."

"Aw man." I faked being sad.

"I'm actually hurt right now." He touched his heart.

"Don't be. What about Naomi?"

"Naomi is always here. Especially when it's packed of businessmen like this."

"Don't you have some people to take orders from." I said looking at the line forming.

"Nah, you're more interesting. Plus Dave and Kendal are there helping them."

"That's not enough, go do your job. Imma go bother Naomi now, you can't keep me all to yourself, I gotta spread my presence around Elite." I said stepping off the stool.

"What if I wanna keep you all to myself?" For a minute I wanted to believe he was serious but what's wrong with a little flirting?

"Sorry, I'm not for sale." I gave him a small smirk which he returned with a grin. Walking away he stopped me in my tracks. "You look beautiful by the way." My smile grew a little wider.
