Strip or Leave, but you and I know you can't leave...
It had stopped to rain but the atmosphere was still cold.
I entered into my car and I drove helplessly around before I remembered that I had a friend that used to work with me In the convenience store. Her name was Gabby, she was the only person that might still accept me.
I didn't have any other place to go or any other choice, I had to go to her.
I drove to the parking lot of the convenience store and I stepped down from the car.
"Oh my gosh, Kaya, is this you!." I heard and I turned around to see Gabby standing in the parking lot. "Your car looks amazing, I'm sure it costs millions of dollars."
"Gabby." I said going to her and giving her a hug. I couldn't help myself so I started cry.
"What's wrong." She asked me taking my hand and leading me to the cleaning room of the convenience store.
"Now we're alone, tell me what's wrong." She told me.
"That's not my car. Gabby, I'm lost."
"What happened, where's Marcus, are you married already?."
"Who told you?." I asked her
"Everybody knows that you were going to get married to one of the most wealthiest men, we were happy for you."
"I was sold to him, it wasn't my choice to get married to that arrogant man, it wasn't my choice to get married at all, so out of anger I ran away and i went to a club and I followed a stranger to his house and I had sex with him and now, they chased me out of their house, I broke the deal so my parents have finally abandoned me, my parents have disowned me, I have no where to go." I explained to her.
Gabby's eyes held shock and surprise. I'm sure she was wondering who I've become, I'm a good girl... Or at least I was.
"I'm speechless, I don't know what to say. " She said.
" Please, I don't have any where to go, please can you let me stay in your house, I'll work and find a job and after then I'll pay you off, please, I can't live in the streets. " I told her.
" I'm sorry Kaya, but it's not possible. "
" What, but you're my only friend, you're the only person I depended on. "
" Kaya, I'm sorry but you should understand.. I live with my four brothers and our house is barely enough to contain us, I can't accommodate you. "
" Gabby, please, I can sleep on the floor Or on the couch, I can sleep wherever you want me to, please let me stay. "
" Kaya, it's not possible for you to stay with me in my house. But I have an idea. " she said and a weird look crossed her eyes.
" What idea?." I asked her. "Why are you staring at me like that?." I asked her.
"There's a friend of mine, his name is Jake, he owns a strip club, he told me that he's looking for a worker, wait calm down , he doesn't want a stripper, even though you have the looks and the body that would qualify as a stripper, but that's not what I'm saying, he wants a secretary."
"A secretary?." I asked her.
"Yes, a secretary." Gabby said with a wide grin. She was only trying to help me, maybe I should not question her and then I should trust her.
"Why does he need a secretary?." I asked her.
" He needs a secretary to count his money and record every transaction, that's all. " Gabby said.
" Why didn't you go for the job if it's such a good idea, you've been complaining about finding another job haven't you?. " I asked her.
" I'm trying to help you and you're questioning me, do you want help or not, I'm better than your parents that sold you off, at least you acted as a slut just last night and slept with a stranger you can cope in a strip club, can't you?. "
"Gabby, why are you talking to me like that?." I asked her.
" You're so ungrateful, I'm trying to help you but you're acting as if I'm putting you into slavery instead."
" I'm sorry." I told Gabby
" I'll give you his address so you can go to meet him and then you both can discuss about your salary, he has plenty hotels, he can give you a place to stay. "
I stepped Into the strip club and everywhere was smokey. I coughed and then I looked around to see if there was a spot that I could stay so I wouldn't choke to death. To my surprise, there were plenty of naked women and men dancing on poles. The place was like a sex trap.
I moved to the side and searched for Jake's office.
I couldn't stop stealing glances at the hot naked men. I turned away and hurried to Jake's office when one of the men made eye contact with me and winked because he caught me watching him.
I was standing in front of the door that had the golden label.
I knocked.
"Yes, who's there?." Jake asked me and I responded.
"It's me Kaya." My voice came out more smaller than I expected it to be.
"Come in." Jake said and I turned the door knob to see a woman putting on her clothes and Jake was buckling his belt. The woman's face was pink, just then I understood what had happened.
"I'm sorry for interrupting what was happening. " I blurted out and it only made me look more silly. I had interrupted their intercourse.
" Have a seat. " Jake demanded. imagine if I had pushed the door open without knocking. The lady hurried out of the room after she was done dressing up.
"So you're the girl that Gabby said needed a job." Jake said. He was tall and very muscular, he had broad shoulders and a tattoo that I could see through the open button of his shirt.
"Yes, I'm the one." I told him.
"You're sexy." He told me with a lusty smirk, he traced his eyes down to my cleavage.
"Thanks." I said to him I felt uncomfortable because of the way his eyes roamed my body and I shifted in my seat.
"Well I'm sorry but the spot for the secretary is taken." He said falling back into his chair and staring at me deeply.
"What?." I asked him.
"You heard me, the spot is taken. "
"What other spots are open, please I really need a job, I can wash dishes, I can do the dirty work, anything."
" You can do the dirty work huh?." He asked me rubbing his hand on his chin.
" Anything." I said nodding my head.
" Be a stripper, you have the great body, the lips, the face, everything, that's the only spot that's open and that's the only way I can help you get a job, if not then get out of here, so now make your choice, be a stripper or leave."
