I took a deep breath and walked into the strip club. A few girls and Trent were standing by a stage. "Hi", I mumbled quietly, "Hi", Trent said. "So. When are we gonna start?", "Right now. So Grace, these are some of my employees, Britney, Jordyn, Rebecca and Christie and they're gonna show you where you get changed, and what you're wearing". "Okay".
Britney took my arm and took me to a changing room, "So, this is where you get changed, and these are what you outfits you can chose from", "Okay".
"Personally, this is my favourite", Rebecca said, pulling out a outfit. It was neon blue bikini top and a pair of low-riding, black short shorts. I gave the shorts a feel, the material felt nice.
"This is mine", Jordyn said, pulling out another outfit. It was a really short, boob tube dress, I liked the colour, it was a sparkly purple.
"I like this one", Christie said. She showed off a tight, boob tube top that stopped where your belly button was and a mini skirt. "By the way, these are not the clothes I like to wear at home, just for work", Christie said. "Oh", I said.
"Go try one on", Britney said, "Okay", I said and pulled out a outfit. "We'll go wait outside the door", Jordyn said, pulling Rebecca and Britney out of the room.
I pulled of my top and put on the neon blue bikini top. Then I pulled off my pants and slipped on a neon blue thong and then put the low-riding shorts on. "You can come in now", I called out. The door opened, "Oh my God, you look so hot", Britney said, "Thanks".
"Hold on a minute, we have to get changed too", Rebecca said. They all grabbed one of their outfits. They just stripped off and put on their outfit. I was surprised how they were so confident they were.
Britney was wearing, what looked like a purple, strapless bra and shorts that looked like a bikini bottom. Rebecca wore a neon pink top, her boobs looked like they were gonna pop out and a neon pink thong. Jordyn was wearing a short, neon green dress, it was strapless and it showed of her curves and Christie wore a short top and a mini skirt.
"Come on, let's go start your training", Jordyn said, pulling me out the room. I heard Britney, Rebecca and Christie follow behind me.
A couple hours later, we finished training, and we had a couple free drinks from the bar. I was sitting on a bar stool in my normal clothes, and I was taking a sip of my cocktail.
A few gunshots where fired, I was pulled behind the bar by Christie, "Stay down!", Trent yelled. I heard the door get kicked in and heavy footsteps come inside. More gunshots were fired, I heard a groan and something hit the ground. I curled into a ball, I had to bite my lip, to stop myself from making noise.
Bottles were shot and flying glass cut my skin. I bit down on my lip extra hard, to stop loud noises come out. Unfortunately I let out a whimper, and footsteps came towards us. Fear rushed through my body, I haven't been this scared for a long time.
"Look what we have here boys!", a guy said to the other guys, "Beauties aren't they?", "Yeah". I backed up, my back was hurting from pushing onto the wall. One of them neared us, Britney tried to run, but was caught and thrown to the floor. A whimper escaped from her mouth. I stared at them, fear in my eyes and my eyes were filling up with tears. "Oh, look! They're scared", the others laughed, my stare turned cold.
I stood on my knees and reached in my back pocket. I rubbed a finger of my pocket knife. "What's she doing?", one of them asked, "I don't know", another one said, coming towards me. "What are you doing?!", Rebecca whispered, "Nothing", I whispered back.
The guy was now crouching in front of me, "What do you have?", he asked. I just stared at him for a few seconds. Then in one swift movement, I pulled out my pocket knife and cut his face. "Ahhh! That bitch's got a knife!", he screamed, covering his bleeding face. "What are you doing?! Are you trying to get us killed!", Jordyn whispered loudly.
The rest of the guys started to walk to me, I gulped and stood up. They were now a few centimeters away from me. I just stood there, they were now right in front of me. One of them pushed me and I fell back, over the bar and onto the floor. "Oww", I said, a few tears going down my face.
One of them came around the bar and kicked me in the ribs. I pulled my knife back out and stabbed him in the leg. He collapsed on the floor, holding his leg and whining in pain. The other two surrounded me, I swiftly cut one of their face's and stabbed the other ones in the shoulder. All of them where on the floor holding cuts or stab wounds.
"Call the ambulance!", I screamed out. One of the girls called a ambulance, while I was trying to save Trent. "Come on! Don't die!", "A ambulance will be here in five minutes!", Rebecca said, chocking a bit.
Paramedics burst in what was left of the door, "Miss, step back please", "Sure". They put Trent onto a stretcher and took him to the ambulance, "Is he gonna live?", "Miss, I don't know, but you might want to find another job", "Why?", "If he survives, he won't be out of hospital for months", "Oh". The ambulance doors closed, I stood there and watched the ambulance drive off.
I felt a hand rest on my shoulder. I turned my head, it was Christie. "You're serouisly brave!", she blurted out, "Nah, I just needed to protect myself and you guys", "I would never be able to do that... Anyways... I guess were all gonna need to find new jobs, aye?". "Yep, they said even if he survives he won't be out of the hospital for months", "I guess I better tell the other girls", "Yeah". "I guess I see you around", "See ya around".
Christie walked back inside and I made my way back to my hotel. I walked past the hotel clerk, "Miss! Wait!", "Hmm", I said, walking back to the hotel clerk. "Mr. Mathers left these here for you", she said, handing me a couple bags, "Thanks", "Your welcome". I took the bags and went to my room.
Once I was in my room, I sat on my bed and opened the bags. There were clothes, some more money and two notes. One of the notes was from Marshall and the other one was from Whitney. I read the one from Whitney first,
Hi Grace,
I brought you some clothes and a couple other things. I hope you like. I love you and I miss you so much. I hope I can see you soon.
Love Whitney.
I then read the note from Marshall,
Dear Grace,
I hope you like what Whitney gave you. I put a couple things in there. Can we please met up? I really want to see you again.
Love Marshall <3
I put the notes on my bedside table and looked through the bags. There was some clothes, two pairs of sneakers. At the bottom of one of the bags, there was some things that were from Marshall. There was some underwear, a necklace. It was beautiful, it was diamond and it had writing engraved on it. There was also a phone, it was a purple iPhone. I put on my bedside table. I sighed, I don't deserve all this. I'll give the necklace and iPhone back to Marshall tomorrow.
I checked the time it was 2:00. It was only two and I was tired. I called for room service and ordered lunch.
