Sleeping Together

  Chapter 1 

Three years earlier…….

     The bright light cast on Henry's face, causing him to wake up, turning to see the woman beside him. It then dawned on him that this is not the woman arranged for him, he sprang up,

" What the heavens sake are you doing here?? Who are you?? She lazily opened her eyes, trying to figure out where she was,

At the club, they had hooked up why was he acting all out now,

the memory flashed,

" Harder Sir!!" The eyebrows arched as she looked under the duvet only to see they were both naked,

" What the f**k! What did you do to me?!! You perv**t ". She yelled this was not what she planned for, as a stripper her services were just to keep him relaxed and not to have sex with him, 

" I should be the one asking you what the hell are you doing here! Who are you?" He yelled

" Don't you remember anything from last night, brought me here last night?! And the agreement clearly stated no intimacy which I doubt you couldn't read through because you were drunk last night and you equally made me go drunk so you could have your way!!! What was I even thinking Coming here, you still had the nerve to talk back at me!!! You're stupid!!!" She panted heavily angrily, staring at him,

" How low can you go?? You think I'll marry you then you're dreaming, an ugly thing like you have no to be my woman nor my girl, and am telling you now to get the hell out of here!!", 

Struck by his words tears ran down her eyes as she began shivering,

 " Get the hell out and I don't want to see your face again anywhere near me or my office". He stomped outside sitting on the bed she wept so this was how she lost her innocence to the devil himself, it took her time to recover as she washed up after herself, got dressed, and stared at her torn panties, she sighs sadly putting it inside her bag and left the hotel without even getting to who's this devil is? His identity nor the name he bears.

  Her cellphone rang, she picked up the unknown number,

" Hello," She said quietly.

"Hello Amelia it's me, Hanna, how did it go? She asked, hearing her voice again, she tears up crying over the phone

" Why crying girlfriend? Did something happen??" She asked but got no answer from Amelia who just kept crying till the line was cut off. Worried something might happen, she boarded a taxi home, throwing her things on the floor. She sat down on the couch sadly, then buried her face in tears.

Reaching the home, to see Amelia seated on the couch with her head over her knees she tapped her,

" Amelia". She called lifting her head to see Hanna. Hanna could see the dark circles beneath her eyes which were puffy and red, she had been crying,

" Come here". She pulled her into a hug patting her hair till she got herself

" So tell me what happened?" She asked, Amelia threw her a look then sniffed looked at her, and pulled the bundle of money out of her small bag handing it over to her,

"He gave you all these? Just for the night?? How generous." Amelia scoffed then turned to her friend whose attention had been stolen by the money. 

"I'm sorry, so why the tears? She folded the money giving it back to her,

" Because I'm so stupid, Hanna". She said as a tear dropped wiping it away Hanna asked

" Why do you think you are stupid??" She asked still as confused as ever,

 " We slept together". She dropped the bombshell, Hanna gasped in surprise

" You did what!! Lia you should have been careful". Seeing her friend all butterednuonin tears, she had to comfort her, she immediately hugged her

" I didn't know how and what happened afterward, we woke up this morning shocked and mad at each other, even he too couldn't remember a thing, he was drugged as much as I was drugged". She cried,

" Hush now, don't cry anymore, anyways where is he? Does he know about it?

" He doesn't know it's fake, he thinks I was the one who drugged him just to sign the paper and have sex with him afterward, he said horrible things to me and it hurts, and also a victim here? She wept.

Hanna couldn't help but curse,

"The son of a bitch, he should be grateful I didn't meet with him, he would be sorry what I would do to him, stop crying ok?? What's done is done, let's not cry over spilled milk, come let's go to my room, I'll prepare hot calming tea for you in a minute, ok?" Amelia was grateful for the presence of Hanna in her life.

They met when she had just newly joined club Feliz, as a stripper last year, she was just 19, and although challenging for her but Hanna had always been there. 

Amelia Earhart was her name, and although everyone's life seemed perfect, hers was far from being perfect, she was sold off to the club as collateral for the debt by her abusive Father, he owned the owner she had never met before, seeing her life take a huge turn was very drastic and to be working at the club was traumatizing already, she was still young but life had chosen to spill all the bad luck on her, she sniffed as she walked into the room to have a hot bath, the event from last night was breaking the nerves.

.

.

Walking into the house, his head was banging from the previous night, he felt bad after what he had done to the stripper, only to hear from one of the strippers that he had indeed taken her in, 

"Henry, what does it say about your time?" His mother walked down the stairs with a frown, he had not returned home last night and kept her worried all through, not even Dave knew where he was.

"Mom, please let this die. " He said to her walking up to his room, he sighs as he walked into the bathroom, and memories from the night before flashed before his eyes, he was wanting her, but he didn't even get to properly see her or know her name,

As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, he picked up his phone, dialed Dave's number,

"Boss? Where have you...?"

"Dave? Please. Prepare the meetings from today and I'll need you to help me find a certain girl."

Dave looked flushed, "Girl? Everyone was worried sick last night but he was with a girl?"

"Dave?"

"Yes sir. On it" then hangs up, Henry sighs, then prepares to start his day with the hope to see her finally.
