CHAPTER TWO
🥀 JULIAN HART
PRESENT DAY
______

After a good long sleep, I was back to my regular self. I walked into the kitchen to see Alex taking things out of her fridge. "What's that?" I leaned over the island and asked, she looked back surprisingly and smiled. "Breakfast." She said and I smiled. "Ouu, what we having?" I asked and took a seat at the island.

"Pancakes and eggs. My favorite," she said and closed the fridge. "Mm okay." I said and pulled out my phone from my sweats. I went onto indeed and looked for jobs at a grocery store, shoe store, anything that'll get me some money.

It legit took me about an hour to find a job, I applied to what I can but..shit I probably wouldn't get the job. I closed my phone off and sighed, taking a bite out of the last piece of pancakes. "What's wrong?" Alex asked as she took her plate to the sink. "Job shit. You know how it goes." I closed my eyes.

"Oh." She said. "I could get you a job at the club." She shrugged and said, I looked up at her. "No. You've done more than enough for me, the least I could do is find my own job to pay you back somehow." I said and she rolled her eyes.

"You're fineee. I don't care about you paying me back, just take the job because the quicker you take the job the quicker you can start paying some bills." She pointed at me and I smiled pathetically. "come onnn juju, put away your pride and do ittt. Think about us working together, it'd be funnn." She went over to hug me and I pouted then smiled. "Mm." I said and looked at my phone once more.

"Will they even hire me?" I asked and she pushed me. "Ofcourseeee, I'm the money maker after all and they love me over there." She said and I thought about it for a second. "Do I have to show my ass?" I asked and she laughed.

"You do have a big and nice ass but no." She said and tied her hair up. I nibbled on my lip. "You can be the bartender or the janitor or waiter or whatever, pleaeeee" she begged and I rolled my eyes. "I don't have much of a choice, so whatever." I shrugged and she started jumping up and down. "Yesssss," she ran to me.

"Crazy ass.." I mumbled and she smacked me upside my head and we both laughed.

After hours of spending time with Alex, I finally got dressed and ready. She had called a favor for me and I really had got the job, no interview or nothing. I was really grateful for a friend like her. "Now remember, this is a hard job to get into, so try not to get into any trouble." She reminded me as she put her stilettos on.

"I don't get into trouble," I said and she laughed. "Knowing you? Yeahhh, no. You used to stay in trouble in our high school days, bad as hell." She said and I laughed. "Thats cause niggas always wanted to try me." I laughed.

"Look at you, bout to get started," we laughed. "Oh, and don't say nigga in here. It be nothing but rich whiggas in here so.. shush, please." She begged and I laughed. "Whiggas?" I asked. "Yea, whiggas." She laughed as she opened the door.

I got out the car too and she wrapped her arm around mines. The line was long and it was packed as hell, the outside of the building looked just as nice as a hotel. You could hear the music from outside of the club and it was more than two dudes at the door, it was like six.

"damn." I said. "Right. It's never this pack unless someone famous here, that's it for real. Oh, look," she dragged me to the back of the club. "Come on, from now on, this where you have to come in through every day." She said and I nodded.

I opened the door and we went in, the atmosphere filled with food and marijuana and ass and everything good and sexy you'd imagine a club to smell like. "Keep going straight. You can wear this for now but Janice gone supply you with the work outfit next Monday." She said and I nodded then she went away.

I walked straight and there was someone already there waiting for me like Janice, the manager, said there would. He helped get organized and I started off pretty good for the night. "Hey, what can I get for you tonight?" I asked the person that just came and sat down at the bar.

"Cognac, please." She said and pulled out some cash, I went to make her a cognac and returned with her drink. "There you go." I said and she thanked me.

"Hey can you go take these drinks to VIP room 3 for me? This will also help you to get around the place better, pass the bathrooms and it's going to be nothing but rooms on the hall." Joshua, the guy who showed me around, said. I nodded and grabbed the tray for the drinks and did just that.

It didn't take me long to find what he was talking about because the hall was filled with nothing but rooms, all had a different decoration on each door. I knocked on room 3 and someone let me in. "Drinks order?" I called out and the man who opened the door quickly shut the door and grabbed it from me.

I was too busy looking at the tray to notice the marijuana smelled room and its red lights. "Thanks.." I mumbled and he nodded. I finally looked up and seen a group of men on one side of the table talking to the other side, they weren't paying attention to me and that's when I looked around the room to see two poles in the middle of the room and two girls kissing on one pole and the other-

"ALEX!!" I dropped the tray and ran to her, she was on the ground. "Alex! Wake the fuck up!! Alex!!" I was moving her face around in a panic she was still alive but she was clearly drugged. "WHATD YOU DO TO HER?!" I yelled at whoever cause my friend was drugged and they didn't do shit.

"I'm sorry sir." One man said to someone else and tried to get me up. "Let's fucking go." He said and tried to move me but I got up and knocked the shit out him and grabbed Alex, running out of the room with her in my arms.
