IF ONLY .... (COMPLETED)

Chapter twentytwo

I pulled up outside of Johnny's saloon it was almost one am Milly would be done soon "are you buying" Matt asked. I rolled my eyes whipping out my wallet and handing him a 50 dollar bill "have at it."

We got out of the car and went inside the bar and the first thing to catch my attention was the MUSIC.

She's my cherry pie cool drink of water such a sweet surprise, taste so good make a grown man cry SWEET CHERRY PIE.

My temper flared at the thought of Milany dancing on top of the bar, we pushed through the crowed of people and sure enough there she was. Standing on top of the bar with men lined up all around, she poured shot after shot... in their mouths.

"What the fuck" Matt's voiced boomed over the music, I looked at him seething he reached out his hand to stop me "Do. Not. Embarrass. Her"

She continued to dance seductively and the men threw loads of money at her, so much that I was able to pick up a ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL. The dance ended and I marched right up to the bar, she was doing something so that her back was to me I cleared my throat "just a second sweet thang." I gripped the table so hard my knuckles were turning white "Brian" she gasped at the sight of me.

"Do you want to tell me why you've got all these guys singing about your cherry pie?" I was livid, behind me Matt failed to contain his laughter "hey Mill can you fix me a beer."

She handed him a beer and avoided eye contact with me at all cost, I sucked my teeth hard "hello? Can we talk about this Milany." She rolled her eyes "what's there to talk about you Brian you knew for months, guys come here and they want to see me dance."

"Oh so it's apart of your job description to act like a whore? You have a boyfriend now somebody who actually cares about you, the last thing I want to see is you dancing in front of a bunch of guys who are gonna go home and jerk off to you. Is it money that you need? I have loads of it Milany you don't need this job I cannot stress this enough."

"And I can't stress THIS ENOUGH I won't live off of you, I won't! Just because your some famous musician doesn't mean I still won't take care of myself, if you can't accept that then I don't know what to tell you Brian."

I couldn't believe this was actually happening she didn't care about anything but herself and this stupid bar.
"QUIT OR WE'RE DONE MILANY" I shouted slamming my fist against the table, she jumped at my reaction staring me down intently.

For a moment she opened up her mouth to say something but closed it and took another second to think.
"I guess your right... we're done"

"I'm glad that you understood I'm ju- wait what?" I could feel my heart rate pickup like it was about to jump out of my chest "done?" I repeated praying I didn't hear that correctly.

"You gave me an ultimatum and that's my choice no man will ever tell me how to live my life." Her voice cracked and I could see the tears well up in her eyes, she turned her back on me and continued working.

"One jack and coke please" the guy next to me shouted, from behind I could see her wipe the tears away from her eyes.
"Coming right up"
