Ink and bleach

Chapter 3

It's been 2 months. Me and Lucas moved in together, after the kiss that night I just felt like it was supposed to be. What a feeling. He was the only guy that made me feel like a star, that didn't make me feel like shit about myself or my past.

"Marcus? Where you at?" Lucas calls out.
"I'm in here," I reply as I open the door.
"Marcus I have to head to work but I'll probably get off early today,"
"Okay, I was planning to clean up here then maybe head to bed,"
"Sounds great," Lucas replies with a calming voice.
Lucas heads out the door and I began to fold clothes, do the dishes, clean our room. I notice that Lucas left his phone at home and I contemplate whether to go return his phone to him. I realize I never knew where he worked or what he even did for work. I then proceed to grab my car keys, his phone and my coat and leave. I look up the address of his work and I pull up. The building was black with tinted windows, a huge parking garage that was packed, and weird lights flashing within the building. I walk up to the building and open the door. Inside was a woman at the desk. I approach her, seeing if I can find Lucas. "Miss, excuse me,"
"Yes sir," she replied
"I was wondering where I could find Lucas Ray. He left his phone at home and I came to return it," I ask,
"Sir, he's busy at the moment but if you leave it with me I will be sure to give it back to him," she replies,
"Oh, thank you," I reply as I turn around to head towards the door. I stop in my tracks as my curiosity gets to me, I turn back around and approach the desk yet again. "Ma'am I was wondering what this building is," I ask
"Well Sir, you mean to tell me you are not aware of what this building is?" she says with pure confusion on her face. "No ma'am,"
"Sir this is the Tiper Club," she says with a more joyful tone in her voice, as if she was a DisneyLand worker. I thank her for her help and leave. My mind wonders What is Tiper Club? Why does he work in an all black building? Lucas also works in a club? I wonder what his position is. I get my mind back on track and head home. Once I get home I pour myself water and go on the web to see what I can find out about Tiper Club. I typed it all in and once I pressed enter, a series of images and information flood the screen.
Tiper Club is known as an exotic club with many bars, bedrooms, and dancers. Tiper Club is a place where one can relax and let loose with others.
I then look through images where men and women dance on tables, the rooms where they "preform", the bars. I then click their main website, and to my surprise I see Lucas. Front page of their website. I click on the link next to his picture.
Lucas Ray, he is also known as our employee of the year. He has great preformance skills, social skills, and is our most loved worker here at Tiper Club.
I slammed my computer shut. I couldn't read anymore. I looked around our place slowly wondering about our past and what will happen later in our future.

Later that night, I finish cleaning up and change clothes. I get in bed and wait for Lucas to get home. I hear the keys in our door, I then hear the door open. I face away from the bedroom door and look down at the sheets. I then suddenly see light illuminating the bedroom from the hallway. Lucas then walks around the bed and sits by me. "Marcus-"
"Please don't," I say sternly as I interrupt him,
"Marcus, I was gonna tell you-"
"Tell me what Lucas? That you're a toy for the public?" I say slightly more aggressively,
"Marcus,"
"Y'know what Lucas," I question sarcastically,
Lucas patiently and silently waits for me to continue,
"You can stay here, you obviously can afford it here," I say calmly as I stand up. "Marcus, please don't blow this out of proportion," Lucas says trying to calm me and get me to stay. I ignore him and grab my backpack, coat, phone, car keys and leave.
