Chapter 10

Recap

The job I got, I'm not proud of it but I needed money and I needed money fast. I had to pay for university, rent, gas, electric, clothes, food, and I still owed josh money so there's no way a wee small job as a waitress would help me and the only job I could think of where I could get money fast was... I'm sure you've guessed...

A strip club

I started working there 3 weeks ago, I work as a bartender for 3 days a week and then on Saturdays I dance. It's not as bad as people say it is, it's not like I actually get completely naked. I look at it as I'm just in a bikini, a very sexy bikini.

***

There was this one guy that wouldn't stop looking at me, and not the way that most people would look at strippers. He made me feel a bit uncomfortable but I pushed past it and continued to dance.

A few minutes later

I looked over in the direction of the man that was looking at me and making me uncomfortable. I gasped and my breathing quickened, my blood ran cold and I couldn't believe what I saw...or who I saw. There sitting beside the man from earlier...glaring at me was Kai.

End of recap

Ellie's P.O.V

What was he doing here?!

He didn't look too happy, I could see from here how white his knuckles were from clenching his fists. He looks like he's about to punch someone.

I tried to smile at him but he just glared right at me with pure anger. I gulped and turned around to the other men, still dancing.

This was the most awkward moment of my life, I could feel his stares, his judgement, his anger and all I wanted to do was run of this stage and hide. I couldn't believe this was happening! How and why is he here?

Finally, after what seemed like hours the music finally stopped. I stood up straight, blew my audience a kiss and walked, more like ran, back to my dressing room.

Kai's P.O.V

I was sitting in my office when one of my men called me, I couldn't believe what he told me. Ellie... my Ellie, was in a strip club. And not only that, she was a stripper!

I was furious, I rushed down to the club Marcel was at and stormed inside. When I got there I scanned the stage for Ellie but she wasn't amongst any of the girls, I looked for Marcel and found him sitting at the left side of the stage. Once I got over to him I took a seat and asked what was going on.

"Boss, I'm almost sure that, that girl Ellie is here. You just missed her dance, but I'm sure she'll be on again soon" he said

"Marcel you better be certain that it's her because if you made me come all the way done here for no reason I swear.." I cut myself of when I saw her, walking onto the stage, practically naked and being eye fucked my all these horny men, I was angry. No I was livid!

I clenched my fist trying to control my anger, but it wasn't working. In front of  me Ellie started grinding against the pole, for all these men to see. I watched with pure anger how she danced for all these men. She turned around and we made eye contact. I glared at her. I was so annoyed!

What was she doing here?!

When did she started dancing for old perverted men?

I watched as here eyes widen and she gasped in shock. She didn't expect me to be here. Well I never expected her to be here either! And I sure as hell wasn't happy about it!

I haven't seen her in months, I haven't been able to get my mind off of her in months and then the first time I see her she's in her underwear, in a strip club dancing for money!

The music stopping brings my attention back to the stage. I watch as Ellie stands up straight and blows a kiss out into the audience, that does it!

As she makes her way of stage I stand up and go to the back wanting to confront her.

There was a man standing as the door and I groaned as he tried to tell me I couldn't go back there.

"Trust me, I'm in no mood to be annoyed right now, move!" I snap at him

"I'm sorry sit but I'm going to have to ask you to leave if you don't get back to the place your allowed to be" he says

"I'll leave once I get my girl now out of my way!" I demand

"I can't let you back there, for the safety of the girls!" He says

"I'm not interested in the girls, I just want to talk to one of them! She's my...friend and I want to ask her.. how she's getting home" I lie

"Okay, well the girls don't finish until 3am so come back later.." I cut him of with a punch in the face, he stumbles back into the door and then goes to grab me but I grab his arm and twist it around his back.

"Listen, you do not want to mess with me! You have no idea who I am and what I'm capable of so just do yourself a favour and let me pass before I do something I won't regret!" I threaten him

"O-okay! Okay! You can go in" he says

"Wise choice!" I say, slapping his back and then opening the door and heading into the changing rooms.

Some of the girls panic when they see me and attempt to over themselves up. I just roll my eyes, their strippers, their job is to get naked in front of men for money so why are they acting shy now?

I don't bother to look at any of them, no matter how tempting it may be. I'm here for girl and one girl only!

I spot her over a the other side of the room fixing her make up and I make my way over to her. She looks at me with wide eyes in the mirror. She goes to stand up but I push her back down into the chair.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I hiss

"Um., working?" She answers, making it sound almost like a question

"When did you start getting naked for money?" I snap angrily

Her eyebrows scrunch together in anger and she glares at me "don't you dare speak to me like that! You have no right to come in here and question me!" She shouts, gaining the attention of the other girls

I glare back at her  "don't forget who your speaking to love!" I warn her

"Don't call me that! I'm not your love!" She snaps

"Get up, we're leaving!" I say

"No!" She argues

"I said we're leaving!"

"I'm not going anywhere with you!" She protests

"Cute. You think you have a choice" I say before grabbing her arm and dragging her of the chair

"Kai, let go of me!"

I just ignore her

"Let go of me!" She screams

I stop and glare at her "Get the hell off of me and leave me alone!" She shouts in my face

"No" I say before continuing to walk towards the door

"You have no right to touch me or drag me out of here" she snaps

"I never said I did" I reply

"Why are you being like this? I haven't seen you in months and then you come in here storming Norman and start dragging me out of work?" She says and she tries to grab onto something to stand still

I tug her harder and she stumbles into my chest

"We'll talk in the car" I tell her

"Your not listening, I'm not going with you!" She says

"Yes you are"

"No I'm not! I'm working" she says trying to tug her arm out of my grasp, we are at the door but I stop to talk her

"Your not working here anymore!" I tell her

"Your not the boss of me Kai, I'm sick of you controlling me all the time! This is my life and I will do what I want!"

"You don't want to work here! I know you! Your not like this!" I tell her

"You don't know what I want" she snaps back angrily at me

"I know you don't actually want to work here an your only doing it for money" I say

She narrows her eyes at me and puts her hand on her hip. She looks so hot when she's angry

"You know, or you hope?" She asks

I glare at her "you better tell me your doing this for the money.." I start but she cuts me off

"Or you'll do what? Kidnap me?" She whispers back angrily

"Maybe I will"

"Kai, do you honestly think I'm going to want to be with you if you keep treating me like this?" She asks but before I could answer her she answers for me "no, I won't! You have to start treating me like a women! And not like one of your men who you can just control and tell what to to!" She says

"I-"

"I'm not finished!" She cuts me off again "I don't want to be controlled! I'm my own person and your not my dad or my boss so stop thinking that everything you say or want me to do I'm going to do because I'm not! And I don't want to fight and argue like this all the time over stupid things just because you don't agree with what I have done or your angry! If we are ever going to work out and be together you have to learn that I'm not some obedient dog who you can control, this is my life! I'm in charge of what I do! I don't need you telling me that I can't do this or I can't do that!" She stops for a moment but before I could say anything she continues however this time, I cut her off

"Your right! I'm sorry"

"And I wan- wait what did you just say?" She asks

"I said I'm sorry, your right I am controlling it's just the way I've been brought up, I've always been the boss and I've always been the one to tell others what to do. It's just how I am but I don't want to be like that with you, not if it means your going to hate me and we aren't going to be together because I love you Ellie. And I'm sorry for everything that's happened over the years! And for today, I just got so angry because I want you to be mine and I don't like when others see you like this" I tell her

She goes to say something but I cut her off again "how about we start over? Like from the very start and I promise I'll try my best to keep my anger and controlling side away from you and our relationship" I ask

She smiles "I'd like that"

I smile back at her, I hope we can really try to work things out because I too am sick of fighting with her and I just want to be with her.

"But" she says "I'm not moving back in with you" I frown but nod my head trying so hard not to argue

"Okay but you have to quit this job" I tell her

"Kai" she sighs "I need this job, the money is good" she says

I frown "I can give you money" I tell her

"No, I'm not taking money of you, I need to make my own money" she says

"Fine, well I'll help you get a different job" I say before she can argue I start talking again "A proper job, just give me your CV and I'll see what I can do" I tell her

She nods "okay"

"Good, now lets get out of here" I say

"Wait, I need to get changed and get my stuff"

"Okay, I'll um I'll wait outside" I tell her

I'm ready to start over again, I may not find it easy but I'm going to try. Because I do love Ellie and I want us to be together again
