"Seriously, what's your deal Aphrodite?"
Andrew looks kinda pissed. I can't say I'm not enjoying this. He's a jerk so making him angry feels good.
"You want more time off? With an upcoming festival? You know this industry, how can you be so arrogant to even ask for it right now?!"
He said it with really angry voice.
I don't care about that, Cathy's finals are coming, she needs to study and also her internship is taking off nicely - she's about to get her own case! And Michael is getting bigger and more active during the day so I can really use a break and get some good night sleep.

Besides it's not my fault he fired all the good old girls and took in his young and inexperienced newbies for a half of the pay the experience ones takes. Half of my time here I am teaching them and improving their show. I like it, girls are so sweet after and they're really grateful but it's not paying off in real money... and every time I bring this topic up with Andrew he turns deaf.

"Oh, come on Andrew! You want to fire me don't you!" I teased him a little.
"Of course I do! But I can't and it's so frustrating!"
He threw his arms in the air in despair.
"Contract is contract." I coldly stated.
"Not just that... This place really needs you... girls needs you." He softened.
I can see he likes this place - maybe that's where he first saw a naked or half naked woman. But he's so much of a jerk for me to take pity on him.

"I'll pay you double Aphrodite." He said and I just can't believe it. Now he's willing to talk about it himself.
"I want free time Andrew. That's it." I said calmly because even if I'd appreciate more money I'm good now and time is what I need more than money.
"Ah..." he sighed tiredly.
"Ok... can I offer you a drink before you go?" His resignation looks so childish.

I nodded in acceptance of all of this.
"But no alcohol." I added.
"That will ruin it!" He whined and was really like a kid now.
"Nothing can ruin it! It's not good and you're covering that up with strong liquor... Andrew, make some interesting mix and add just a finishing touch with some flavorful alcohol. You always put vodka in it and that's no way to go. I know it's cheaper but it will do no good, trust me." I answered him with honesty.

"It feels like talking to my grandma!"
He tried to insult me in a joking way. Now we're on good terms again I think. He's trying to innovate the menu again so I guess he has new girl in mind and wants to showcase his bartender skills... so unless she has no tastebuds he has to go easy on vodka.
He handed me a radioactively blueish drink. I took a sip and placed it on a bar while shaking my head. He just sighed and wished me a good day.

As I was walking towards the exit I started to feel a bit of a dull pain in my abdomen. That's weird what could it be?
"Hey niña!" Greg howled at me.
He is using this nickname ever since we know each other even though he doesn't speak Spanish at all.

"Hey Gee. Everything good?"
"Yep.... hey listen, do you remember Bella? Do you know where she is?"
Bella was a pole dancer as well but Andrew fired her as he did with the rest of the girls.
"I do but I don't know." I answered and walked away. I wonder why he asked about her. Maybe his girlfriend dumped him - that's nothing new after his divorce.
"Thanks anyway. Bye."
"Adios!" I teased him.

Chase taught him a little Spanish...Greg was his best friend. Greg was also married but his wife was jealous so she filed for divorce. I must say she has all rights to do that because Greg banged whoever was willing to go...and Chase always covered for him.
I wasn't jealous. I had no reason to be because Chase always made sure we can trust each other.
"If we don't have the trust there's no love." He always said. Oh how I miss him.

At the bus stop my stomach got my attention once again. The pain is getting stronger. Did Andrew poisoned me or something? No, I'm just being irrational because of that sudden pain. It might go away or it can be because another month passed by... I'm healthy, it's ok, I need to calm down.

....

I opened the front door and pain became unbearable. I collapsed inside.
"Nina!" I heard Cathy squeak quietly so I guess Michael is sleeping.
"Mhgjjl" I mumbled in pain. I feel like my stomach is going to explode... that's so painful!
"Nina, what's wrong?!"
"C...ca...call the... am...ambu... ambulance " I shedded words through my clenched teeth. Then I passed out.

...

A sirens woke me up. I hope they didn't woke up Michael! I look around and I see only the doctor and nurse is closing the door. Good so Cathy stayed with Michael at home.
The pain is...
"It's good you're awake. Can you tell us how do you feel?"
"My... sto...stomach hurts."
"Ok, good. I'll examine your abdomen then and you'll tell me where is pain the worst ok?"
I just nodded but I don't think he needed my answer.

The moment he touched my belly I almost flipped the gurney. I guess he figured he hit the spot.
"Looks like acute appendicitis. Call the hospital to prepare for a surgery."
Oh, thanks God it's nothing worse.

"She's passing out Marcus!" Was the last words I heard.
