Chapter 5 | No coincidence

Laura's POV
▪▪▪▪▪
Unedited

"Get out of my house, you man stealing bitch."

"Kim if you'd just let me explain, I did not sleep with Asher, he was the one-" before I could finish my sentences she pushed me out the front door and slammed it into my face.

That was kimberly, my best friend of five years. She help me get on my feet after I so stupidly ran away six years ago.

My life in the big apple isn't star worthy, what else do you expect from a girl who never finished high school? Much less attended collage.

But I was able to survive, being a dancer I usually go home with at least $1,000 per night that I work.

I'm a dancer, and that's that, I do nothing more than dancing. The men call me a tease but they love it. My boss Wezzy says I'm his because I keep the clients coming for more,even though all I do is tease.

I'm not proud of my job, but it helps me survive and that's all I have left.

Sighing I headed down the street to my apartment.

Last night I thought about my dad and my brother, after going for months without thinking about them my brain just decided that, hey, let's go down memory lane!

Turning into another street, I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket before pulling it out and answering.

"Hello?"

"Laura, I have a special client for you tonight."

"Weezy, you know I don't work on Thursdays" I said to my boss walking into my apartment building.

"Tonight,twelve fifteen, be there." He said ending the call, leaving no room for argument.

I knew better than to test Weezy's patience. He wasn't a bad guy.

My first year on my own was the worst. It wasn't something I liked thinking or speaking about but it was so horrific, until I met Kimberly who worked for this guy who help girls make a living and then I was introduced to Weezy.

The first thing he told me when he saw me was "You don't belong here." He couldn't have been more right. But he still took me in.

So yes, the owner of our strip club is a nice guy who opened his club to provide jobs to both male and females who have nothing else to turn to. But like every boss never underestimate there niceness.

Rarely I've ever seen Weedy angry but when he does, all hell breaks loose.

For the rest of the day, I prepared myself for tonight's client.

Probably one of those old rich dudes, that makes it their life's mission to keep asking for them be my sugar daddies.

Then there's those husbands who's wife, just stopped stopped caring about her appearance after child number three and are just looking for a little fun.

Then there's the bacholers who are always horny and then fresh ones who just don't get the "look but don't touch rule." Let's just say I've had to use my pepper spray quite a few times.

By twelve O' Clock on the dot, I was in the private room prepping myself with my usual speech.

"You are strong Laura, you do this for the money, and it's not like you're all that bad, you don't sleep with them, so you're still a queen. You make money moves, that's right Cards be said it best, you're a freaking queen never forget that."

Taking off the robe, I felt my body shiver as the cool AC air hit my skin the the black lingerie.

I grabbed the blond wig from the drawer and I fix it unto my bead before applying some blood red lipstick.

Kimberly and Jake coming into my brain.

I was hurt, Kim was my best friend. how could she possibly believe her cheating boyfriend over me?

I've spent countless nights comforting Kim after she found out  Jake her boyfriends keeps cheating on her but somehow she just won't let him go.

Numerous amount of times Jake has tried coming unto me, and each time I'd reject him. This time he corner me in the bathroom of Kim's house and tried touching me, which ending in me gifting him with a straight right to his jaw, my best friend believing her cheating boyfriend over me who turned the tables saying I was the one coming unto him and when he rejected me I lashed out on him and straighten him and her kicking me out of her house.

So you ask how am I today?

Oh just peachy.

The door opened making me turn to find Felicity one of my friends pushing her head in.

"Hey I-"

"I can't believe you, how could you do that the Kim after all she has done for you, you're so selfish and it's so unfair that you get the hot doctor tonight. I hope he gives you HIV." Before slamming the door shut.

I felt my heart sink. There goes friend number two.

Sighing I turned to the clock before swearing the client should be here soon.

And he's a hot doctor? Well what a change

Sitting on the bed I began fighting with the black 6 inch heels I cursed knowing the client would be here soon, and this was no way to be sexy as I dived into my role,and known name.Gypsy.

Hearing slow footsteps I sighed internally alright Gypsy it's time.

I stood straight before arching her back seductively before turning around.

"Hey Hand-"

I felt all the wind knocked out of me at his handsome features.

But his features was too family, as if I'd once lived another life and I'd met this handsome man before.

But thats the thing, I had lived a different life before. One filled with a heartless up mom a dad that allowed her to run over him and the greatest brother ever.

I felt his eyes on my body, and I confess I was looking at him too.

But my eyes connected with him and I knew for sure thatbthis was him.

The boy who had my heart and broke and still to this does.

But this, this was different, she was different she was still petite her she was certainly blessed with a wicked shape. It was obvious now that she was wearing a wig. But those eyes.

Those big brown orbs that had me wrapped around her finger as a kid, compelling me to protect her with my everything.

"Ross?"

"Laura." He breathed, and I instantly knew that it wasn't a coincidence that he had showed up to the club, having me work on the night I don't.

He had found me.
