No strings attached

Marga’s POV

I looked at him with so much disdain. Did he follow me? Why did Paul assign me to his room? Okay, maybe not an assignment but why did he accept this offer?? Bloody hell!

I was going to slam the door in his face and walk away but $10,000 is a lot of money.

Still glaring at him I shoved him to the side and got into the room.

“Okay, I’ve got 10 minutes with you. Get down, do what you paid for, and let me get the hell out of here”, I told him as I walked towards the bathroom

“And why are you going into my bathroom miss?”, he asked me

“Well because I have to clean up duhh”, I rolled my eyes not looking back in his direction

Was he so dumb? Did he want dirty sex?

“Okay, I’m gonna give you $10,000 but I don’t want to sleep with you. Just get out of my face”

“Free money? Just like that? You’ve gotta be kidding me”

Why was he giving me free money? I didn’t wanna take it but a girl’s got to do what a girls got to do. My mom’s life was at stake here so I had to take it.

“No strings attached?”, I asked him

“Yeah yeah sure, no strings attached”, he answered back.

I wasn’t sure what all this was all about but he asked for my account number and in less than one minute I received an alert from my bank. He sent $12,000.

What?! From 10 to $12,000? Why?

“Uh, you sent $12,000 instead, why?”, I added

“Uh nothing, $10,000 because it’s your normal charge, and an extra $2,000 because of the trouble I caused earlier on with my car”, he spoke lightly.

Why was he even being nice to me? A stranger of all things

At this point, all I could think of was my Mom and how I’d miraculously gotten $12,000 to start her treatment.

I was super grateful for this money, although the whole situation felt kinda weird

“Thank you so much sir, I mean this is so much money and you don’t want to sleep with me”, I sobbed whilst thanking him.

“It’s Alex”, he remarked

“Okay, thank you, Sir Alex, this means a lot to me and my family”

“Just Alex.”

“Yeah sure, I’ll head out now”, I took all of my stuff and moved towards the door, hoping he would just ask for sex so I wouldn’t have to feel guilty for taking his money for free.

He didn’t ask. I got out of the room and shut the door behind me. A sudden cool breeze hit me instantly and I felt so much relief.

$12.000 wasn’t enough but it was a good start.

I got back to the dressing room to meet the other girls.

I sighted Bri on stage performing so I took a seat, waiting for her to return. I started thinking about how life could be if I didn’t have bills to pay, a mom to take care of, or a careless and reckless brother to worry about. Everything was coming at me so strong. I mean I’m 25 and I don’t have a job, I have to settle for stripping because I couldn’t get a college degree. I felt so bad about the situation I was in. Maybe if I had a father, things would’ve been a little more different. Everything was so overwhelming for me.

Just as I was lost in thought Bri shook me out of my whirlwind of emotions.

“Hey baby girl, how’s it go???”, she giggled, pulling a chair to sit by me

“Nothing happened Bri, he didn’t want Sex. He just gave me $12,000”, I sighed, looking myself in the mirror

“What do you mean he didn’t want sex? So why did he pay so much cash then?”, she asked, looking rather perplexed

“I don’t know, he just told me to give him my account details, and he wired $12,000 to me”, I looked at her, not sure of how I was feeling at the time.

“Okay this is good but why do you look sad ?”

“I don’t know, I just feel overwhelmed with all my responsibilities you know”, she pulled me into a hug, comforting me

“It’ll be okay girl, life throws some heavy stones sometimes, and if we can’t dodge, we just face them head-on. You’ll get through this”, she whispered into my ears softly

“Thank you Bri”, I sobbed on her shoulders.

I just met Bri, but we had such a connection. It felt so genuine like I’d known her for years and years.

I woke up to leave the Club and Bri opted to see me out.

I took a cab, in front of the club, and got home very tired from that night.

I was lying down on the bed, trying to fall asleep when I suddenly got a call from a private caller.

I hesitated to pick it up but then I did,

“Hello?”, I said softly

“Hello miss”, the caller answered back with a deep voice, which turned me on instantly.
