The night we met

Chapter 53

The next day I went to work early and took care of the shipments that were for next week. Today was Friday which meant I needed to close early around five.

Today Salvatore had invited me to take a cup of coffee in a nice restaurant that is near from here.

"Are you serious?," Juliet said as I continued to explain to her what had happened yesterday except that I didn't told her Alessio's name because I didn't want more problems than I already had. Let's just forget about all.

I didn't want to tell this to Lily. I needed to tell someone to at least have someone who to justify everything. I didn't like telling her because she was already worried about Leonardo. Beside Juliet and I had spent a lot of time together that I've now consider her a good friend.

Juliet told me everything about her life. Her parents kicked her out of the house when she appeared pregnant when she was seventeen just like Charlotte. But in Juliet's case, she had no where to go rather someone to help her with her situation. The father of the babies because both of them are twins, disappeared when she told him about it. She was on high school, so after that she dropped. Some teachers helped her get a work somewhere where she started as a waitress in other restaurants. She said she had to work for twenty four hours while she left her kids when they were two years old in some school garden.

She didn't made a lot of friends in high school because most of them were fake and her boyfriend controlled her way to heavily. He didn't let her go out with girls which seemed nice to her, so that avoid her to have friends. The only ones she could had was his boyfriend friends, which most of them he hooked up with.

Asshole.

After all of that she only made a friend where she worked at, were she motived Juliet to be a stripper at first. She thought about it multiple times because she really knew about all of those things, that it might be dangerous. A dangerous place where she had to be another person rather than herself. Where her personality and emotions didn't matter, only her body and money. Like she wasn't nothing. An object to be used multiple of times.

Her friend made a request for her and Juliet was amazed by the amount of money she was going to get. Not much but enough for a better life and future of her kids. She accepted the offer a week later, she made true friends in there than she had made earlier. She said most of them needed the money and couldn't find a job anywhere else just like she did, they all felt empathy when Juliet told them about it. After years of being a stripper the charged in there offered her being a prostitute which increased money for her, most like three times more. So she accepted.

So she has been in this business for years now, because in the day she spends time with her kids. That's how she got the job in the fancy restaurant, one day were she walked with her kids in the streets and she saw the sign.

Basically that's Juliet's life.

It shocked me when she told me about it. So since then, she hasn't dated any man, she just cares about her kids.

"Yeah. Basically that happened," I said as she covered her mouth.

"I'm glad that both of you have solved everything. I know you wouldn't do that, you love him too much."

"I know."

We continued talking but stopped every time a client came. It was already around five and Juliet offered to close today, so I let her do it. I put my coat on and went outside where William waited for me as he ate a croissant. Devouring it, its the correct word.

"What's with the croissant right now?."

"I don't know, Daniel recommended me the place that's near your shop. He told me you invited him something last time," William said after swallowing.
