Beads Of Demand

Wide Awake

Ava's POV

I was crashing into my bed. I woke up less shaken then I usually am when this happens. She stood by the door spinning those damn beads around her finger quickly. "What's your name.." I said forcing my eyes to stay open.

"Diana Elizabeth, goodnight Ava," she said.

Diana's POV

I pulled the necklace of beads tight between my two hands and she went out like a light.

I exited her room to see Jennifer sitting with puppy eyes on the couch. I shot her a smile and she smiled back. "Is she fixed?" she asked. "For now... you know Jennifer... Your contract with Dr. Vitch is up in a couple weeks," I said and she frowned. "I wanted to know why he's not renewing his contract with you, or any of the girls I've been offering," I asked getting close to her. She hung her head low.

"He's been going through a lot. I think he just needs a break is all," she mumbled. I grabbed her face and forced her to look me in my eyes. "It better be just a break. I told you to go with Lucas and don't you fucken pull that shit in my club again! Are we understood?"

I backhanded her and walked out. Jennifer is usually well behaved but ever since she started college she's been on a rampage. I've lost two regulars and I'll be damned if I lose a third. I walked out of their building and saw Zay.

"Are you coming to the club tonight?" I asked with a big smile. "Nah , I planned a special night tonight," she said with a bigger grin than my own. "Oh? Mind if I ask?"

She was too happy to spill. "I think I might spoil my girl to some romantic dinner," she said putting her hands in her pockets and tugged my trench coat a little tighter in.

"I didn't even know you had a girl," I said. Itvwas entertaining seeing her want such attention from me. "Yeah Ava Greene. She's been acting so weird lately though. I dunno if it's because of her dad's fifth marriage or because the woman he married has 3 kids," she said and I tried to keep a straight face.

"Ava Greene? Like daughter from Greene & Co. The multi million dollar family? Zay how on earth did you catch that?" I asked now curious. "She goes to college with me and Jennifer and my dad is on the board with her biological mom's new clothing line," she said and I nodded. "We must chat sometime ! Oh please perform tonight. I'll pay you double," I smiled and she thought about it and I scoffed, "Triple? Don't make it a habit. Jeez , $600,000 you better put on one hell of a show!"

She laughed and walked away into the building.

I guess you want an explanation. I took 3 years in psychology and 1 in hypnosis. It's not hard. But my name doesn't just hold millions, it holds heavy in my community. I'm not in it, I own it. Damn that man Oscar Greene... that's a different story for a different day.
