I’m in the bathroom for at least twenty minutes after the whole ordeal in Steve’s office with Jared, my set should be starting soon and I have to be on stage so I can’t hide in the bathroom all night even though I want too. I still need to get my ass to the dressing room in the back where he dragged me from to fix my hair and makeup. I need to look my best because I’m the main event. After my set though, I’m out of here quicker than a robber going into a bank.
I open the door and I look out into the hall, checking to see if I see Jared anywhere but the coast is clear, there’s not a soul in sight. Thanking my lucky stars, I quietly make my way back to the back room, praying the whole way that he doesn’t pop out from anywhere. My prayers are answered, when I get to the changing room without an incident.
As soon as my foot touches inside the changing room, the girls fly at me, asking me how I know Jared and if I’ve fucked him, and how big his dick. I’m overwhelmed that I storm away from the horde that’s surrounding me, asking me stupid fucking questions that are getting under my skin. They all quiet down and leave it alone, thank God because I don’t want to slap the fucking shit out of one of them.
I’m about ready for my set on stage when the door opens and behold, there’s Jared with an impassive look on his face, “Angel, you’re up.” Slamming the door when he leaves, all the girls are staring at me wide eyed with their questioning stares. I don’t have time for this shit. I check myself over in the mirror; the wings are on my back like every night, indicating I’m an angel, I scoff , yeah right angel, my ass.
Well, here goes nothing. Danny calls out my name and on cue the music starts, closing my eyes taking a deep breath, I get on stage. My legs moving, swaying to the music like it’s programed in my body. The hollers coming from the room are egging me on to do more. Knowing that Jared is out there watching, I know I can’t go there but there’s no sense in wasting the dance with my normal routine when I can tease the ever loving shit out of him. He deserves it for what he did in Steve’s office.
I start swinging my hips, turning my back to the crowd I bend down touching my toes, showing them all what I got and the whistles and catcalls are defying. I turn around and I notice a tall figure in the back, when the lights move from my eyes down to my ass, I notice its Jared starting there with his jaw clenched. Good, the bastard deserves this, he doesn’t own me.
My muscles are warm and sore from dancing but then again it didn’t help that I put on an even more of a show because of Jared, but hey it was so worth it when I saw his face every time I glanced at him. I’m finally sitting down in the back closing my eyes and relaxing at my station when Sherry comes through the door saying ‘hi’ to everyone.
She makes her way over to me, “The boss’s son is one fine piece of ass,” she sighs dreamy she’s probably thinking of ways in her head to fuck him. I don’t know why it bothers me but it does. I try to show it doesn’t bother me but Sherry has known me long enough to know when something’s up.
“What’s wrong, Jade?” she asks looking at me. I’m about to say ‘nothing’ and she starts again, “And don’t tell me it’s nothing. I know you better than that.”
Should I tell her about Jared? I usually tell her everything but I don’t know why I haven’t mentioned Jared yet. Maybe it’s because I don’t want to believe it myself.
“Umm… Sherry do you remember my date with Charles?” she nods looking concern.
“What happened, do I have to slap that fucker around?” she asks and I can’t help but laugh at her. She’s so overprotective.
“No, Charles was fine. The reason why the night ended early is because of Jared. The night before my date, when I was on my way to David’s, a guy ran into me and it was Jared. Then at the restaurant he fucked up my chances of getting laid. Then tonight when he noticed I worked here, he dragged me to Steve’s office and tried to fuck me on his father’s desk,” I rub my face and look up from my hands to Sherry her lips parting slightly as she stares at me.
“You’re shitting me? The boss’s son tried to fuck you in his dad’s office?” her eyes tell it all, she’s loving this.
“Yes,” I groan, why did my life have to be one big fucking mess?
“Well, your one lucky bitch. So, did you fuck him?” she asks wiggling her eyebrows.
I can’t believe, after everything I just told her she still asks me if I fucked him. I shake my head repeatedly, “No I didn’t fuck him nor do I plan too,” she raises an eyebrow at me calling bullshit.
“And why in the fuck wouldn’t you want to screw his brains out? He’s single that much I know and he’s lick-able that’s for sure. I can only imagine what he looks like under his clothes.” She moans, Christ, I think she needs to get laid more than I do.
“I don’t want to go there. He’s pretty much going to be our boss now and on top of it, he’s full of himself. He thinks he can get into my pants just like that and he proved it when he took me into the office.”
She drops the subject after that, which I’m thankful for because I’m done talking about Jared. I need to clear my head of any thoughts of him. I wonder what David’s doing tonight? David will help somewhat with forgetting about Jared for a while. The changing room is empty now, all the girls are out in front trying to get customers to agree to private show, so I grab my phone and I text David.
Jade: - Hey, are you home tonight? I was wondering if I could stop by.
A few minutes later my phone dings; swiping the screen with my finger I check the message.
David: - I’m going to home soon. I’m just leaving work now.
Jade: - Great, I’ll be there once I’m done here.
I look up in the mirror and gasp. Jared’s standing behind me with a murderous look on his face and his body tensing; his jaw is tight with tension.
“Who’s David?” he bites out his tone deep.
“None of your business and were you standing there the whole time checking over my shoulder?” he balls his fist, would he hit me? No, he doesn’t seem like the type but why in the hell is he getting so pissed off for?
He doesn’t say another word; he turns around and leaves the changing room. What the hell is going on? I get dressed quickly and grab my bag, I leave the changing room. I’m stopped dead in my tracks when I notice one of the girls a little too close to Jared, giggling at whatever he’s saying. I narrow my eyes trying to see who it is, it’s Marissa. Jared must feel like I’m watching them because he grins at me and he pulls her close, you can see the nervous but yet lustful look in her eyes as she stares up at him.
My body tensing up when he leans down near her ear, whispering something while he rubs her arm gently and she goes slack in his arms like she’s willing for him to take her right then and there. I don’t need this fucking crap; I don’t know why I’m getting so angry, could it be jealousy? No, it can’t be that but maybe it is. It’s a foreign feeling and I’m not enjoying it one bit.
I make it out the front doors fast before I end up saying or doing something completely stupid like going over there and ripping Marissa’s hair out or staking my claim on Jared. I just need to get away from work for a while. I got enough money saved up that I can take a few days off. I’m sure the club will survive without me for a day or two. Well, I hope so. I’m not going to tell Jared about my plans because he’ll forbid it I’m sure. I’ll call Steve when I get home and let him know I have to take a day or two off for personal reasons.
I make my way walking fast as I can to the bus station; hopefully the bus will be here in a bit. I hate leaving the club late and having to walk to the bus stop, as you never know with the weirdo’s out there. The hair on the back of my neck starts to raise, what the hell? My head snaps back and forth behind me, I feel like I’m being watched, I look around frantically to see if anyone is there and there’s not one person on the sidewalk or on the other side of the street. Hmm… That’s weird.
I hear the bus approaching, it stops in front of the bench; I get up quick and get on the bus. I
take a seat close to the front and grab my phone to text David to let him know I’ll be there in a few minutes.
The bus comes to a stop and I get off, there’s like two maybe three blocks to David’s, I’ll walk the rest of the way. I feel like someone’s there watching me, what the actual fuck is going on? I’ve never felt anything like this before and I don’t fucking like it. My hands become clammy; I check my bag making sure I still have my can of mace on me that Steve made sure that each of us girls had, just in case if anything happened on our way home. He felt safer knowing we had something to protect us.
I start walking faster to David’s, my nerves shoot up knowing something isn’t right. I just can’t wait to get there and get inside where it’s safe. I might end up sleeping on the couch because I don’t know what’s out there and I can’t leave knowing someone or something is out there waiting. I know it’s a rule of mine, but hey I’m scared right the fuck out and it’s not like I’m sleeping in the same bed as him, so, technically I’m not breaking one of my rules.
I get to his door and I knock hard on the wood. I hope he’s home already because I don’t want to have to wait outside for him to get home. A few seconds later the door opens and he’s standing there with a smile on his face.
“Thank God,” I hurry past him to get inside and he notices the shakiness in my voice.
“What happened? You look scared to death.” Only if he knew how I was feeling right now he would understand.
“On the way over here, I felt like I was being watched and maybe followed by someone but I didn’t see anyone and it just freaked me out,” my voice getting a little higher with each word spoken. I gasp trying to get air into my lungs.
His eyes widen, “Fuck, are you okay? You’re sure you didn’t see anyone?” he asks, rubbing my arms trying to comfort me. Once I’ve calmed down a bit, I nod my head trembling from fear.
“I didn’t see anyone,” I mumble, he nods his head holding me close to his side.
“Is it alright if I stay here just for a little while? Then maybe you could drive me home? I really don’t feel like taking the bus,” I look down at the ground hoping he’ll say yes. He knows I’m not comfortable spending the night.
“Sure, I’ll take you home whenever you want me to just say the word.” I release the breath I was holding.
“Come and take a seat on the couch. Do you want something to drink?”
God, I could take a bottle of vodka right now. David has always been there for me, he deserves someone who’ll love him. Of course, I love him but it’s not the love he needs. I’m so screwed up that I would just kill the brightness in his eyes if we were together. I’m scared.
“I’ll take a beer or something a little harder if you have. I need something to calm my nerves.” He nods his head and walks towards his kitchen.
A few moments later he comes out with a beer for himself and a glass of coke for me, after he hands it to me, I bring it to my nose and the sweet scent of vodka fills my nose. I give him a small smile, “Thanks.”
“You know you can stay here tonight, if you want. I’ll take the couch and you can have the bed,” he mentions bringing the bottle to his mouth taking a sip. God, he’s so sweet it kills me how I treat him. Could I possibly love him and give him what he needs? Or am I broken, crushed to the point I’m not able to love another human being without doubts?
“Thanks for the offer David; really it’s sweet of you. I just want to be home in my bed.” He nods his head in understanding.
We talk for a bit and one things leads to another and like always with David we’re in his bedroom. He’s lightly touching me where it drives me wild; he chuckles when I growl at him for stopping the movements of his hands. He likes to play with me and he does it very well. He makes my body sing usually but my mind is elsewhere tonight. I can’t seem to shake the feeling that someone is out there watching me and it doesn’t help that I have Jared stuck in the back of my mind.
We’re just about to get to it when the doorbell rings, “Who the hell can that be?” David whispers against my shoulder. He shakes his head and continues to kiss my neck but the doorbell goes off again followed by a hard knock on the door.
“You should probably go and answer the door to see who it is. What if it’s important?” I whisper against his neck.
He sighs heavily and gets off the bed; he slips a pair of pants on. I grab my clothes and slip them back on fast and head out into the living room. I hear the muffled sound of talking as I get closer the voice sounds familiar, and then when I round the corner I’m face to face with Jared. My eyes widen I take a step back gasping as I stare at him.
“What the,” I don’t even finish my sentence because I’m totally shock and I’m having a hard time concentrating with them both in the same room. Jared looks between David and me in disbelief, “What are you doing here Jade?” then he stops and notices my hair and make up a little out of place and his face goes stone cold, “How do you know David?”
David looks between the both of us, “Remember the student I told you about?” he asks Jared and it’s like a light goes on in his head, he nods firmly.
“Well, Jade’s that student. Of course, she’s not my student anymore but she was at the time.”
You can see Jared’s face drop when it clicks after David’s finish talking. Why does it make me feel dirty after David telling Jared how we met, oh yeah I know, it’s the way Jared’s looking at me right now!
“How do you two know each other?” David asks.
“Umm…” is all I can get out of my mouth. I’m speechless as I look between both of them.
Jared takes a deep breath, “Well, I met her the other night. Remember the girl I told you about, well it turns out its Jade and she works for my father at the club.”
David’s eyes go wide as he stares at his best friend, “What do you mean she’s the girl. You said the girl got you so worked up and you couldn’t stop thinking about her,” and then it clicked, he looked over at me and I feel my face heat from embarrassment. I can’t believe this is happening. I should of known they were both friends and this would come back to bite me in the ass.
“Jade,” he says just above a whisper. I’m torn standing there between them both. This is why I don’t do anything casual. One night stands with someone you don’t know would cause a lot less drama.
“I…I’m sorry,” my voice so low that I surprise myself, I’ve never gotten emotional like this before over a guy and here I’m almost in tears because I care for David, I do but then Jared someone who I just met mind you, he’s standing there looking like at me with such a look that would drop any girl to her knees.
A flash of me in between both of them in bed, moaning as they touch me flashes in my mind and I gasp as that would never happen. They are both so alpha male type that it would never happen. They could never do it without wanting to tear the other ones head off. I need to get away from them right now, before I do something stupid and ruin their friendship. God, I’m so fucking stupid.
“I… Have to go.” With that being said I grab everything I have and run out the door without looking back, I can’t take the looks on their faces.
Everything was long forgotten about the feeling of someone watching me as I make my way to the bus stop to go home. I don’t care at this point; I’ll use my mace if I have too but being at David’s with both of them. It was too much to bear being watched by both of them. Them both questioning what the hell was going on when I don’t have the answer because hell, fuck I don’t even know what the fuck is going on with all this. I’m so confused.
As soon as I’m at the apartment I head towards the door opening it, then once I’m inside I close the door and I breathe in deep and sigh in relief knowing I’m at home safe. I just want to head to bed and forget about tonight ever happening but I know I can’t forget because now David and Jared know about each other. I can’t even begin to sort this out; my head is killing me, the pounding of my headache moving behind my eyes. Fuck, I
need Advil.
I rush to the bathroom grabbing two Advil from the bottle and I head to the kitchen to get a bottle of water, downing both pills fast, I then slowly make my way towards my room. I need to lie down. Shit, I have to call Steve. I look at the time and notice it’s midnight, well I guess I won’t be calling him tonight. I’ll give him a shout tomorrow morning when I wake up.
Once I’m in my room, my bed is calling out to me and I groan as my body hits the softness of my covers. I spread out and within minutes I’m snoring up a storm I’m sure. I just pray that tomorrow when I wake up, this was all some kind of horrible dream and it never happened.
Chapter 4
This morning when I got up, I wanted to bury myself in the pillow and never come up for air because I knew last night really happened and everything came crashing back to me as soon as my eyes opened. I ended up getting a hold of Steve and told him not being able to work for a day or two and he understood. Out of the five years I’ve worked there, I’ve never took a sick day or anything. I’m just glad that Steve didn’t make a fit about it.
Today, I’m going to be left with my thoughts. Sherry’s gone and Aprils got classes most of the day. I can’t see David right now not after last night, he’s at school today anyways, probably teaching a whole bunch of horny ass teen girls. Would he do what he did with me with others? I don’t know and that leaves me confused as to why it even bothers me in the first place.
How can I tell them both that I do find them both very attractive but I’m not sure how to go about being in a relationship, am I willing to break a rule for one of them? Maybe I could see them both? Would that be too much of a bitchy thing to do? God, there’s so many questions I’m asking myself, that I have no clue what the fucking answers are.
I’ve known David since I’ve been eighteen, he’s the best guy you could wish for but I’ve been so afraid of opening myself up to a world of hurt because everyone I’ve ever loved has been taken away from me.
