Friday 15th November.
I strutted my way off stage as the other girl got up shaking her ass. The crowd roared from my performance and I went backstage to my dressing room as I saw the black garbage bag that held my money on my dresser as I went over to it. Friday is the best day of the week because it's payday!!!! I went into my duffle bag getting out a blunt and a lighter as I started to smoke. I let My eyes hung low as I sat down and counted my bag ignoring the chattering of other women and the low music getting into my own world. I counted about 50,000 and I smiled to myself. I have to wear a wristband because I'm under 21 but I still be making serious racks. Damn, if only I could give lap dances to the older rich sugar daddies in the audience like all the other over 21's, then I'd be bringing in twice as much racks. I sighed putting all the money back in the bag. I pulled on my joggers and a tank top grabbing my bag and slipping on my flip flops. I took a few more puffs before clocking myself out of the club and leaving through the back.
I started my way home taking the shortcut past the city. I walked over the bridge looking at the sea as the stars sparkled.
Flashback.
Jordan leaned into his shoulder as She looked through the window. Jody was on the other side of him also looking at the sea beneath the stars as they sat on the plane flying silently through the night.
"But daddy, I'm scared of heights." Jody whined. They had been flying for about 5 hours on their way to mom who was at home.
"Don't be scared jojo, I'll save you if anything happens." Jordan smiled.
Jody held out her pinky still glued to her father side.
"Pinky promise?"
They linked pinky's and giggled.
"Born together, besties forever." They chanted. Whilst their father kissed their foreheads.
The 5 year old girls looked up at him, to see him gazing out the window the stars reflecting in his eyes.
"What are you think about daddy?" Jody asked. And Jordan also looked up questionably.
"Stay still and relax." He breathed closing his eyes.
the girls looked at each other confused.
"At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still. You get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space." He said looking down at them both.
End of flashback
"I love you dad." I said into the air as I carried on walking. I took another puff of my blunt when I heard a car slow down as the window unwinded.
"Aye,ma." I heard a voice say. I ignored it and Carried on waking.
"I know you hear me talking to you." I rolled my eyes.
"what?" I looked to see a black dude with pearly whites and a fade.
"Wanna make some serious bucks?"
"I'm not a prostitute."
"I just wanna take you to dinner."
"Yeah right and then fuck afterwards?"
I got to the end of the road and was a about to turn the corner when they swerved infront of me.
"Please, just give me a chance."
"I'll pay you to talk to me." He pleaded.
"Why?"
"Because I'm lonely and I got money."
He wasn't lying he was driving a Bentley truck.
"Please, I spotted you looking over the sea, I can take you to a indoor restaurant that looks over the city. Besides you do look hungry."
I just narrowed my eyes.
"What if I agree?"
Am I serious right now.
"Then I guarantee the best night of your life, everything's on me and no funny business."
"No funny business." I repeated after him and he shook his head.
"None at all." He said still in his car.
"If it makes you feel better we can walk there."
I bit my lip still contemplating.
"Please?" He said smiling at me.
"Okay whatever."
He sped up and parked on the pavement that was just infront of me getting out of his car and running towards me. He had on a blue beach shirt with navy jeans and some navy blue timberlands. I couldn't help but admire the ice on his wrist.
He stopped infront of me putting out his hand.
"The names Luke, Luke James." He smiled.
"Jordan...." I said shaking it.
"Come on this way, it's gonna be fun." He said as he grabbed my hand pulling me with him.
I couldn't run that fast due to my flip flops but he didn't complain.
"Why you so eager to come here?" I questioned as we stood of it.
"I'm just hungry." He shrugged.
The buildings stood at about 100ft tall.
"After you." He said as he held the door open.
Omniscient
Hours had gone past but the two were having so much fun they hadn't noticed. They left the Restaurant a couple hours ago and were just vibing on the beach enjoying each others company as they sat on his jacket their toes seeping in the sand. That was something that Jayden realises she had missed. A friend, someone to talk to, and she knew she sounded crazy but she felt like she had known this guy all her life and that she could tell him anything. They had just calmed down from a joke when Jordan asked the time.
Jordan
"Dang I've Been having so much fun, I didn't even realise the time, What is the time?" I questioned looking at him.
He just looked at me then laughed.
"What?" She giggled.
"Nothing. But it's 1:47am." He said a little shocked. My eyes widened.
"I gotta go." I started scrambling my things together.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to keep you out this late." Luke apologises.
"It's fine." I quickly said as I started running off the sand.
"Oh my god I'm in so much trouble." I murmured hurriedly.
"You'd get home a lot faster if you let me drive you." He said. I contemplated for a millisecond before grabbing his hand and rubbing to the car.
"Damn, you really tryna get home." He yelled at the force.
We ran down two blocks just like before until we got to his car. He got out his keys as I almost flew into the front seat.
He started it up as I glanced at the clock on his low turned radio.
"Step on it please."
"With pleasure."
I was a bit surprised at his response but didn't question it, he sped off leaving fumes as he drove like a get away driver as he took all the shortcuts to avoid traffic. Damn, he actually knows where he's going. He didn't even ask for directions, I feel a little skeptic about him now.
"You got any alcohol." I questioned looking at him. He looked at me with one eyebrow raised and nodded over to the glove compartment.
I opened it and racks of money fell out due to the high speed he was driving at. Some might of accidentally dropped into my bad and purse but hey, I wasn't complaining. Moving more stuff around I found a Everclear bottle. Damn, ain't this like 90% alcohol? I turned the bottle around and saw that the volume of alcohol was 95%.
"Do you mind?" I questioned motioning the bottle to my lips.
"Yeah go ahead." He said as he started slowing down a little but still going over 100
I pursued my eyes shut downing the 500ml drink like water. my throat burned as the deadly acid chugged it's way down but The more I drank the less I felt. Luke looked at me and his eyes widened as he nearly swerved into a car.
"Are you out of your mind, just one shot of that is the equivalent to 2 standard servings of alcohol! You could get alcohol poisoning!" He shouted as he tried to take the bottle away from me with his free hand. I contemplated on wether I should stop.
Fuck it.
I drank the rest of it and chucked the glass bottle out of the window before chuckling to myself. Or did Luke chuckle? Shiddd I don't even know anymore.
I needed to get numb anyways, just painless to anything because Ricky was going to KILL me. Literally.
I felt my eyes get heavy.
I looked at Luke who was already looking at me. He looked at me impressed shaking his head.
"That alcohol is gonna give you the best 3 days of your life until it wears off."
"Then, after that?" I questioned yawning as my eyes closed
"You're fucked."
