Asa Benoist


"Hey baby!" Shawn says as he spots Asa, and he comes and gives her a big hug. Asa doesn't return his pleasantries, in fact she folds her arms and looks away, and he furrows his brows at her. "What's wrong?" He asks, as Asa moves away from his touch. "Who is she?" She asked, and his lover, Lisa Day, came into view. He looked between both of them, with his mouth parted but nothing to say.

"So it's true?" Lisa scoffs, walking up to him.

"Babe, I meant to tell you.." Shawn ignored Lisa and reached for Asa. "Are you serious?" Asa fumed, glaring at him. "She's pregnant Shawn! And you want to ignore her when she wants the truth just like me! You're fucked up Shawn. And I'm done. I want nothing to do with you. I've already put my stuff in storage. I'd say enjoy your child, but you don't even deserve that." Asa spat at him and shoved the house keys into his chest, walking to Lisa.

"Thank you for understanding where I'm coming from." Lisa said softly, and Asa gave her a hug. From Asa's understanding, Shawn had told Lisa he was single and wanted to start a family with her. Even though she wanted to hate her, she had no reason to. She also had the prettiest smile, Asa could see how he could have slept with her.

"Enjoy life Lisa." Asa said quietly and left the airport, going straight to her college. "You're late again Ms. Benoist." The dean said as she rushed in.

"I-I'm sorry." She told him, unsure of what else to say.

"I'm going to have to fail you. I'm sorry. But your grades are no where near from what they should be." He said and Asa scoffed. "It's not my fault." She said, but she knew complaining wouldn't change anything.

"I'm sorry." He said again, and she left his office with her head low.

"What do I do now?" She asked herself quietly as she opened her car, slumping inside. I should tell my parents.. she dialed her mother's number and pressed call. "Hello?" Her moms voice answered on the third ring. "I broke up with Shawn. I don't love him. He got another woman pregnant. I don't care if you don't support me I-"

"Asa. Calm down sweetheart." Her mom spoke, calming her nerves a little.

"I'm sorry to hear that baby. But we're in Canada now. I'll keep in touch, I have to go." "I love you." "I love you too." And the call ended. She sighed, and sped off towards D'Amore's house. Once she stepped inside, she saw Jared in the kitchen, on the phone.

Once he saw her, he made quick work with the call, walking over to her.

"Well it's over. Are you happy?" She asked, brushing past him. "Asa." He called for her and she stopped, but not turning around. "You still have 5 months left on you're contract until you can leave." He spoke and she nodded, walking to her room.

It hurt too bad. She couldn't cry anymore. She needed a friends, love, and support.

"Camille, can you come for me?" She murmured out to her bestfriend and she heard movement in the background. "Send me the address babes, I got you." Camille responded, ending the call. She did as she said, and she tossed her phone onto the bed, lying beside it.

In two weeks, her entire life came crashing down.

She was fired from the job she loved. Her fiancé really didn't love her. Everything she loved was ripped away from her. And she didn't know how to feel. She didn't know what to do. She thought maybe she should move away. She thought maybe she should end it all.

Commotion pulled her from her thoughts and she heard yelling, sitting up straight. Suddenly, her door was busted in, revealing a mad looking Camille. "What happened? What did they do to you?" She yelled, and came over to Asa.

Asa attempted to smile at her but it came across as a sad one, and Camille held her arms out to her.

"Let it out babe." She said with a smile, and Asa hugged her, breaking down in tears.

"What am I going to do with my life Camille?" She sobbed, and the two laid on the bed. Camille stroked her best friend's hair, wanting her to feel better. "Asa you are the most brilliant, prettiest, open minded, joyful and caring person I've ever had the opportunity to meet. So I'm sure with that brilliant mind of yours, you can figure it out. You always do. And when you figure it out, I'll be right here, cheering you on." Camille said truthfully and smiled down at her.

Asa sniffled and looked up at Camille.

"Thanks Camille. That's why I love you." Asa said and Camille grinned, hugging her once again.

"And if you don't, imma have to whoop your ass for giving up such an opportunity like this. I mean come on! It's gorgeous!" She laughed as she scanned the features of the big room, earning a laugh from Asa. "Well you kind of called me from work, and I might get fired because the new boss is hectic. She's definitely gonna make us work the weekend. I'll come back tonight and I'll sleep over. I love you." Camille said, and got up, straightening out her outfit and grabbing her things.

"You're the best. I love you more girl." Asa said and watched her go, closing the door behind her.

She smiled, sitting up.

She was right. Asa could figure it out.

Asa would figure it out.

She marched right out of the room, drying her eyes and she walked right to Jared's. She knocked twice, and the door opened soon after, revealing a shirtless Jared. "Can I help you?" He asked, and her eyes dipped to his abs and tattoos, then back to his eyes.

"I'd like a job at one of your clubs." She stated, confident as ever.

He raised and eyebrow at her, eyeing her up and down as well. "Are you sure?" "Yes." He looked at her for a moment and took in a breath. "Okay. Well you can start later tonight. I'll have my girls teach you the ropes." "Great. Bye." She said and walked away from him, back into the living room.

I'm catching feelings for no one. Never again. I'm not getting hurt again, and plus Camille is all I need. She thought as she made her way back to her room, shutting the door behind her.

"And I'm Sidney. Okay, run that back to me." The black haired and demanding woman said, gesturing to Asa. "Okay my job is to make sure everyone's having a good time, to serve refreshers, and to alert any of the workers monitors if anything bad happens. There are multiple levels, this one being the lowest, the second floor for important members who book the equipment, and down here it's mostly session that are paid for by the hour. We are not to engage in any activity unless our work time is over, and if we're uncomfortable, ask to be transferred." Asa said in one breath, looking to Sidney for confirmation.

"Exactly. Now let's go." Sidney said to her, and the two women each left from behind the counter with a notepad in hand. It would be like Asa's other job. Sort of. How hard could it be? She looked around and was astonished at the things people were partaking in.

"How are you this evening? Can I get you anything?" Sidney said, a line she had said a thousand times, and she gave the young man a smile. The man eyed her up and down, licking his lips. "Yes. A session. My name is Evan and I'm looking for someone like you." The man said and Sidney gave him a seductive smile, coming close to him and she began to whisper something in his ear.

Asa turned away, excusing herself from them.

Hours went by, and it was finally time to close up.

"So now our job is to sanitize the toys, and disinfect everything." Sidney said, and handed her a spray with some substance in it, and a rag. Asa walked up to the first one and grimaced, looking away as she wiped it down. "Disgusting." She muttered under her breath.

She got to a paddle like thing, attached to a wet leather table.

Suck it up, it pays really well. Would you rather be cleaning here or alone at Jared's house? She got over the smelled and finished her job. It was strange, but it was something she'd have to get used to.
