Prologue

My name is Alyssa, I am 19 years old. And I'm a stripper; yes, I'm the girl who
entertains men with the sexual moves of her body. I'm the girl who women hate wh
en they find out that their sons and husbands have come to watch me. I'm the gir
l who gets cash inside her underwear.

You can judge me, I'm used to it and I don't really care. I'm not going to excus
e myself saying that I became a stripper because I was lack of love or my father
raped me when I was child. I have my reasons for doing what I do. I'm not slut
or a prostitute. I just dance, get naked and go home. I don't sleep with clients
or get paid for sex. I'm a virgin, yes it's ironic, a virgin stripper; but it's
the truth. I won't say I haven't had sex because I'm waiting for the special gu
y or something like that. I just think I want to have feelings for the person wh
o I choose for my first time, that's it. Since I have no time for love and those
stuffs, I haven't found that person and I'm not interested in finding him in th
is moment. I have more important things to do that fall in love. If you're wonde
ring why I became this, well it's a long story but I can make it short.
Two years ago I was a normal teenage, college, friends, and parties. I lived wit
h my mom and my older brother. My mom worked really hard to maintain us, my fath
er? Don't know... Don't care! He left us when I was five years old. That caused
problems to my big brother; he was ten years old when that happened. He became a
drug addict. My mother tried to get him into rehabilitation but it was a waste
of time.
One day, I was having dinner with my mom, she was sad because Alex, my brother,
had been out for two days and we didn't know where the hell he was. I told her
that he'd be fine; but suddenly, my mother became pale and passed out in front o
f me.
"Mom!" I screamed kneeling next to her.
"Mom? Mom?" She didn't respond. I got my cell phone and called an ambulance. We
ended in the hospital in a few minutes; a lot of nurses tried to wake her up bu
t it wasn't working.
"Call Dr. Portman! Now!" A nurse exclaimed giving oxygen to my mother.
"What's happening? What's wrong with her?" I asked worried. The nurses took my
mom inside a room and closed the door on my nose. I knocked the door without con
trol. A nurse opened the door.
"How is she?" I asked on the verge of tears, everything had happened so fast tha
t I hadn't assimilated it yet.
"Calm down, we're doing our best." she said, pushing me to the waiting room. A
tall doctor passed beside us.
"What's the situation?" He questioned, getting a folder from the nurse walking
to the room.
"White woman, 38 years old, passed out..." they got inside the room where my mo
ther was so I couldn't listen anymore. I sat down on the floor realizing what wa
s happening. I checked my cell phone and tried to call Alex but he didn't answer
as usual. I thought about my friends; there was only one I knew I could call: M
arissa, she studied with me at college. We had become good friends after one yea
r. I could only tell her that I was on the hospital; I couldn't move my mouth fo
r more explanations. Well, after 30 minutes Marissa arrived, and four hours late
r the doctor came out of the room. He looked tired. I ran to him.
"How is she?" I asked and Marissa held my hand with strength.
"She's stabilized for now, there's someone else in your family you could call?"
I knew what he meant, I was just 17. He didn't want to talk about her state wit
h a teenager.
"No. It's only her and me." I lied because Alex was so absent in our home that
it was like he didn't exist.
"What's her name?"
"Amanda, Amanda Lambert." I said quickly. The doctor copied her name on a piece
of paper.
"Ok. What's your name? And your relation with Amanda?"
"She's my mother, and my name is Alyssa" I was sick of the questions, I needed
to know how she was - What happened to her? - The doctor told me to sit down and
he spoke calmed.
"Alyssa, your mother has Cancer," clear, direct and cruel, a direct shot to my
heart "We need to do some studies but... " I stopped listening, the doctor menti
oned stages... chemo... A lot of words that I didn't get. My mind was still on t
hose first words... My mother had Cancer. The only family I had... you may think
you can imagine what I felt but you're not even near. It was like a big hole sw
allowed me and didn't let me breath. I always thought anyone else could get Canc
er but not my mom.
Then, it came the chemo, the loss of hair, the depression, and the financial pr
oblems...I felt like I was living a nightmare and I wish with all my heart I cou
ld wake up. My mother had been a happy and smiling person all the time, she foug
ht Cancer with all her strength but it's hard to fight when you vomit four times
every single day. She became thin and pale, I slept with her every single night
hearing her silent cries. She tried with all her heart not to cry in front of m
e but she couldn't, it was just too much. And me? Well, I was emotionally a disa
ster. I used to get inside the bathroom and hit the walls while I was crying alo
ud. I asked for a permission at college to take care of her. Marissa was the onl
y one to support me on those hard moments; my brother? He disappeared for weeks
when he found out about my mother's state, I guess he couldn't handle it.
So if you were looking for my reasons there you have them. My mother was diagno
sed with Cancer two years ago. We didn't have the money so I became a stripper.
You may be wondering why didn't I look for a normal job? Well, the answer is eas
y. I was 17. What normal job could give me enough money for all my mother's trea
tment? We didn't have an insurance. She was all I got! You have no idea of the t
hings you're capable of doing for someone you love. My mother was getting better
everyday; I could afford her treatment at the best clinic in town. The cancer i
s almost gone.
Now, I am standing in front of my mirror... My long brown hair is messy, my haz
els eyes look tired. I am a well-gifted women, big firmed natural breast and goo
d ass. I am hot, I have to be hot, I'm a stripper remember? I have to keep every
single part of my body firmed and in form. I heard footsteps coming to my door.
I knew it was Kage, the guardian of the club.
"Rose, are you ready? Your show is in five minutes!" Rose, that was my stripper
name. Kage is the one to defend us if a client wants to cross the line.
"I'm ready" I said opening the door and putting my mask on. We didn't show our
faces. My heels were so high that I looked taller than Kage even when it was all
the way around. I was getting near the stage and I could hear the screams of th
e men.
"Rose! Rose! Rose!" They were hungry of me. They wanted me.
"Well, time for the show" I said to myself.
I was wearing a strapless top and a very short black skirt. All my body was cove
red with special oil that made my skin look sexy and apparently wet. I got on th
e stage, the men screamed as I walked in a horny way until I got to the stripper
pole. I wrapped my hand around it and walked around it. I gave dirty looks at a
ll the men, I licked my lips seductively. The screams became louder and louder.
I leaned against the stripper pole and rubbed my buttocks with it, my skirt was
so short that let them see my small underwear.
"Oh girl! You're so hot" I heard someone of the audience screaming. I smiled and
walked to the guy. I knelt in front of him and shook my boobs on his face. He g
ave me a sadistic look and placed a 20 dollar bill inside my top. I sent him a q
uick kiss and stood up to continue collecting money inside my skirt and top.
I saw a guy, all in black at the end of the saloon, he was looking at me insensi
tively. He had a glass of what I guess it was whiskey in one of his hands. He wa
s extremely handsome. He was leaning against a big couch, which was in the V.I.P
zone; the corner, where the richest men sat down to watch exclusively the strip
pers. They could see us from there better than anyone. I came back to my dance k
neeling and opening my legs to let the men watched me in detail.
The boy kept looking at me with those black eyes; it was getting me on my nerves
. I was used to the dirty looks and sadists comments but not to this boy intimid
ating gaze. I placed the dollars that were on my top into my skirt and I proceed
to take my top off. I played with my boobs touching them slowly before taking o
ff my top. The men went crazy. I got a finger inside my mouth and sucked it look
ing at the boy on the corner, he didn't show any emotion.
I wasn't going to lie, I enjoyed my job and I got excited sometimes. It was imp
ossible not to, when I knew all those men wanted me. I got on the stripper pole
and held myself by my legs; I touched my body watching the men almost jumping to
me. I got down the pole quickly and walked to end of the stage again and knelt
in front of them, but for my surprise the boy was at the front. How the hell did
he get there so fast? He looked at me right into my eyes as he placed two hundr
ed-dollar bills inside my skirt. He turned around and walked away. I stood up an
d vowed to the men saying goodbye. They complained, I got my top from the floor
and walked down of the stage. I was putting on my top as Kage followed me to pro
tect me.
I got inside my dressing room. I started to collect the tips from my skirt: 520
dollars, not counting the two hundred-dollars bill that the boy had gave me. I r
ealized something was written on one bill it read: 'I want you' I smiled mischie
vously, he was pretty smart. I organized my 720 dollars and got them inside my w
allet.
I changed my clothes and put on a t-shirt and pants. I slipped my feet inside co
mfortable sports shoes. Finally I got my hair in a pony tail. I was ready to go
when I heard a knock on my door. I went to open and for my surprise it was that
boy. I could see him well now, he had black-messy hair and dark eyes, shaped nos
e and chin, rosy lips; I could see he had money. He was wearing a leather jacket
and a black skirt inside with also black pants, this boy liked that color.
"May I help you?" I asked folding my arms around my chest. He twisted a smile.
"Look, I'll get straight to the point," I waited for him to continue "I want you
, and I always get what I want so how much?" In other case I would be offended b
ut trust me I was asked that almost every night at the club.
"I'll give you a straight answer then: I'm not a slut. So you are wasting your t
ime." I spoke bitterly and started to close the door. He put his hand across the
door to stop me.
"Ten thousand" he stated looking again into my eyes "Cash, just one night" he co
ntinued looking at my breasts. God couldn't he at least dissimulate?
"Sorry, but no" wow ten thousand that was what I did in a week on work.
"1 million" he said suddenly, my eyes went wide opened in surprised. Did he guy
was seriously going to buy me for that much? I mean, with that I could retire fr
om stripping forever. My mom could have her treatment and I could study calmed n
ot falling asleep on my classes for the lack of sleep I had every night. And hel
l this guy was hot... What was I was thinking? I was not a slut!
"I said no." I repeated keeping those thoughts away from my head.
"I'm offering a lot of money, girl; and it's just for one night," his tone was c
old and controlling "You should think about it"
"The answer is no" I said slapping the door on his face.
"I always get what I want, remember that" he stated as he walked away.I could he
ar his footsteps going away. What a boy! I had a horrible feeling that he would
not leave me alone that easy.

& Chapter 1 $

$ Tired $

I took a deep breath letting the air get inside my lungs and then exhaled it slo
wly, what a boy! I was still inside my dressing room with my back against the do
or. I still had my mask on; thanks God the boy didn't see my face. We, the strip
pers, kept our mask until we got on our cars or taxi, because there were always
drunk and annoying men outside the club waiting for us to flirt or try to see ou
r faces. I wondered where Kage was, he was the one who walked with us until our
cars. I heard footsteps outside, maybe it was him. I opened the door and took a
look at the corridor. But it wasn't Kage, it was Megan. She was the kind of girl
that hates you without even knowing you. She hates me since the first day I got
here, the others girls said that Megan was just jealous, I didn't care anyway.
I didn't come here to make friends.

"Hey Megan!"I said getting her attention. She rolled her eyes and looked at me "
Do you know where Kage is?"
"He was with Irony a few minutes ago, I guess he walked her to her car," she rep
lied indifferently. I closed the door without even thanking, she didn't like me
and I didn't like her so there was no need to pretend we liked each other. I too
k my phone and called home, I hoped my mother was ok. She had a personal nurse,
Ursula, she had been with us for more than a year, she was almost a member of ou
r family; I called home every time I could to check my mother's state. Ursula an
swered the phone.
"She's fine, Alyssa. You don't have to call so often," Ursula said without even
greeting, she knew it was me.
"Is she sleeping?"
"Yes, she went to sleep a few hours ago. Are you coming home?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm done here," I replied, during the week I got out of work earlier than
at the weekend.
"All right. Drive carefully. " she said and hung up. I shove my phone inside my
purse. I opened the door and got out, locking it behind me. I started to walk d
own the corridor; Kage was walking in my direction.
"Ready? " he asked stopping in front of me. I just nodded; Kage was the typical
guardian: tall, big muscles, rounded face and big mouth. I remembered one time h
e tried to hit on me, I had so much fun, he looked so funny when he blushed; it
was weird to see such a big and muscled guy blushing; He was a good guy, just no
t my type.
We walked in silence out of the club, the parking looked deserted, bottles and p
lastic glasses decorated the pavement. I was opening my car's door when I saw a
SUV parking right besides us, I knew who it was: Ramsel, a man in his thirties.
He always did the same; he waited almost every night until I came out of the clu
b to talk to me. He got off the truck as his bodyguards followed him. He was a r
eally rich man.
"How is my beautiful Rose tonight? " he asked smiling.
"I'm good. Just wondering if you'll get tired of this someday," I replied with
a not really nice tone.
"I see you're in a bad mood tonight, " he stated and extended his hand to my ch
eek, Kage stopped his hand in the air and in a fast move Kage aimed his gun in R
amsel's forehead. The bodyguards pulled out their guns and aimed to Kage.
"Keep your hands away from her, Ramsel. You know the rules," Kage said seriousl
y, the tension was so hard that I couldn't move for a few seconds. I came back t
o the moment; I walked to Kage and grabbed him by his arm making him put the gun
down.
"It's ok, Kage. Ramsel was just about to leave, right?" I asked looking at Rams
el. The bodyguards put the guns down as well.
"Right. Sorry Kage, I didn't mean to break the rules," Ramsel extended his hand
to Kage. They shook hands to break the uncomfortable moment.
"Don't do it again, Ramsel," Kage warned.
I got inside my car saying goodbye waving my hand. I drove home trying to stay a
wake. I checked my phone to see the time: 3:54 a.m. I had classes at 7:30 a.m. s
o I wouldn't sleep much. I took off my mask and saw my hazels eyes on the rear-v
iew mirror. I was tired as hell but I couldn't allow myself to consider giving u
p; not now that my mother has got better. I rubbed my eyes trying to stay awake.
Finally, I got home, I parked and walked to the front door of the house, before
I could get my keys out of my purse, Ursula opened the door.
"Come inside, it's freezing," she stated with her hands inside the pockets of he
r coat. She was on her forties; she had brown hair as me and dark eyes. You coul
d say she was my grand-mother. I got inside and let myself fall on the big couch
in front of the fireplace
"Are you hungry? Your dinner is inside the microwave," she was such a good woman
, she didn't have to do this, I mean she didn't have to take care of me. We paid
her for being a nurse and taking care of my mother not to be taking care of me.
I smiled and trying to get up "No, stay there. I'll bring it to you," she said
walking to the kitchen.
"You're the best!" I exclaimed smiling to her. When she was out of my sight, I w
as so tired that I fell asleep in just a few seconds.
I was feeling something vibrating on my back and a ringing sound; I opened my ey
es slowly and searched for my cell phone under me; God, I had fallen asleep on t
he couch. The alarm kept sounding until I turned it off. When I saw the time I a
lmost fell from the couch: 7:12 a.m.
"Oh fuck!" I exclaimed getting up, I rubbed my eyes trying to wake up. I ran ups
tairs to the bathroom; Ursula was coming out of her room
"Good morning!" I said getting inside the bathroom and slamming the door closed.
"Good morning, I guess you're late again," I heard her say. I took off my clothe
s as fast as I could and got inside the shower. Cold water fell down all my body
, making me shiver but it was better this way so I could be able to wake up comp
letely. I washed my hair quickly and brushed my teeth. When I was done I wrapped
a towel around my body and tried to run to the door when I say "try" it's becau
se I failed, when I was about to get to the door I slipped and fell on my but ab
ruptly
"Great! Just great!" I said sarcastically getting up. I went to my room: medium
size, big bed besides the window with two night tables at the sides, crimson she
ets. I had a lot of paintings on my walls; one of them was a portrait of me and
my mother when I was five years old: I had a big smile on my face and an ice-cre
am in one hand while my mother had a little smile and she had some brightness in
her eyes, she lost that when my father let us a few moths later. I came back to
the reality and put some black pants on and a blue t-shirt; I barely combed my
hair and didn't make up. I got my sunglasses; I needed to hide the bags under my
eyes.
Finally, I walked out of my room and went to my mother's to see if she was awake
. I knocked the door.
"Mom?" I asked impatient. I didn't see her the night before; I needed to see if
she was doing alright.
"Come in," she replied and I was relief. I came inside her room and it was as al
ways. You may think she had an organized room with pills on the night table and
a glass of water. Well, you're wrong. Her room was big, and it had colors all ar
ound... the sheets had a rainbow... the lamps on the night tables had green and
yellow lights. It was really psychedelic. She painted the walls by herself using
different colors and scales. It looked like a child's room seriously; I smiled
and walked to my mother's bed. She had a coat and was covered with the sheets. H
er boldness was something I was used to, she had never used a hat or a cap, she
didn't care about people seeing her and neither do I. She embraced me with stren
gth, and then caressed my face softly " You look so tired, Ally," she complaine
d observing my eyes.
"I'm fine," I lied; the last thing my mother need to worry about was me "I have
to go," I kissed her forehead.
"Be careful. Are you coming home for dinner?" she asked with hope. I just nodded
and smiled. If you are wondering if my mother knew about my night job, the answ
er is: yes. We were a team and we didn't tell each other lies. she didn't like w
hat I did but she knew she couldn't stop me.
At college I fought to try to stay awake during the classes, my sunglasses cover
ed my half-closed eyes but it wasn't enough. Some professors noticed I was almos
t slept but didn't care. I was driving home when my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Rose, I need you at the club at 7:30," it was my boss. I checked the time: 6:14
p.m.
"Why? It's 6:14 and I haven't even got home yet," I stated confused.
"I don't care, you have an hour to go home, eat and get your ass here," he was e
xcited I could sense it in her voice; and my boss was only turned on by two thin
gs: money and sluts.
"Why? It's not even the weekend," I complained. But he had already hung up. Grea
t. I got home and ate as fast as I could, my mother asked me why the rush but I
was already inside my car with my bag and keys "See ya, mom!" I waved my hand a
nd she did the same smiling. She loved to walk around the house and garden. She
usually did it when she didn't feel weak.
When I got to the club, I was the only stripper there because the strippers usua
lly came to the club at 9:00 pm or 10. So I didn't get why my boss sounded so ur
gent and desperate. I came inside my dressing room and lied down on little couch
.
"Rose!" I heard my boss screaming at my door.
"What is it? Why am I here so early?" I asked opening the door. My boss was a fa
t man, with rounded face and big nose. He was really ugly but he got a lot of mo
ney from this club so the sluts were always around him.
"Get ready to dance,"
"Why? The shows aren't until midnight," I didn't like where this was going.
"You'll do a private show," Oh! Oh! Now I got it. We, the strippers, performed s
ometimes privates shows to very very rich men for a lot of money, I didn't like
it but the money I received was very motivating. Then, I remembered Ramsel.
"Don't tell me it's Ramsel again. He's sick,"
"No, it's a very young boy but he has a lot of money. Trust me,"
All right... boy + a lot of money= it had to be the boy that came the night bef
ore to my dressing room.
"Oh fuck! " I was really lucky
'Another stalker to the list yay'
I thought sarcastically. At least he was hot. My boss walked away excited. I too
k a deep breath
"Show time" I said trying to focus. I got inside my room and started to get chan
ge; I chose a very short blue skirt and a white strapless. I covered my body wit
h the special oil and combed my hair to make it look messy and sexy. Now my mask
on and I was ready. I didn't use much make-up.
"Hurry up!" I heard my boss screaming at the other side of the door. I got into
my heels and walked to the door. I walked besides my boss through the large corr
idor to the "special" rooms where the private shows took place. I was nervous; I
didn't know why I mean I had been doing that for more than a year.
When we got to the room I moved the curtain a little to see inside, yes, it was
him. The boy from the night before, he was leaning against the couch with a glas
s of whisky on his hand; he looked hotter than the night before. His hair was me
ssy and he was all in black again which made him look hot because of the contras
t with his pale skin. I took a deep breath as the music started and I got out of
the curtain walking to him seductively, he smiled and looked right into my eyes
, I knew that night things weren't going to be any easy for me.

$$$$$ Chapter 2 $$$$$
Private Show
I walked seductively until I was right in front of him; I moved my hips at the m
usic's rhythm. There was no stage so I was at his level, I kneeled and passed my
hands around my body lustfully. He drank his whisky in one go; I smiled as I st
ood up and started to take off my strapless playing with my boobs. My strapless
fell to the floor exposing my breasts; I was excited, I must admit it.
I turned around and took up my skirt showing him my buttocks and my small pantie
s; he remained unmoved. Then, I held my boobs on his face shaking them, and proc
eed to walk away and lied down on the floor on my back opening my legs in the ai
r letting him see every part of me. I got up and walked to him; I moved my hips
sexually on his lap up and down; generally men tried to take advantage of that a
nd touched me; but he remained still. His coldness was driving me crazy; Kage ca
me inside and refill his whisky glass quickly and left. I continued moving sensu
ally as I knelt in front of him; he had his legs opened so I placed myself in th
e middle of them and got a finger inside my mouth. I sucked it moaning pretendin
g I was enjoying it. I got my finger out and licked it slowly.
His dark-green looked at me intensively; every part of me he looked became hot.
I got up and let my skirt fell to the floor as I slipped my hand inside my under
wear... touching myself; that was the last part of the private show. His intense
gaze had me horny; I felt a pressure between my legs. When I touched my sensibl
e zone I couldn't help moaning... for real. It was the first time something like
that happened to me. I froze abruptly surprise; he noticed it and smiled mischi
evously. I picked up my clothes from the floor and started to walk away. He didn
't say a thing. When I was out of the room I was breathing fast and I realized h
ow hot my body was. I was excited... like I had never been before in my whole li
fe and he hadn't even touched me or said nasty things.
I practically ran to my dressing room. When I got inside I took off my mask and
saw my reflection on the mirror. My cheeks were red, my eyes had some weird brig
htness, and my lips were red and wet. I slipped my hand inside my underwear and
confirmed what I knew: I was really wet.
"It was just the dance what turned me on" I said to myself but who was I trying
to fool? Myself? It wasn't the dance at all. It was that boy, but it was so stra
nge that he could have done that to me by only looking at me. I heard a knock on
my door and put my mask back on "Who is it?" I asked putting a short dress on.
"It's me"my boss replied, he may had come to ask me why I abandoned the show lik
e that. I was sure the boy had complained about it. I opened the door waiting fo
r the scolding "You're a mine of money, Rose" he exclaimed embracing me, he smel
led to cigarettes and cheap perfume; I took a step backwards to get him apart.
He extended his hand giving me a bundle of money, I frowned. It looked like a lo
t of money.
"How much?" I asked pointing to the money. I was curious to know how much money
the boy had offered that time.
"Five thousand bucks. Of course I'll keep one thousand for me as my part" he smi
led happy. I didn't understand how money could make my boss so happy. He didn't
have a family or someone to love him. He was entirely dedicated to make money ev
ery day of his life and the worst part it was that he was actually happy that wa
y.
"Ok. I'm glad I made some money for you tonight" I forced a smile. He smiled bac
k and caressed my cheek.
"You're the best, Rose!" He turned around. I stopped my pretended smile and star
ted to close my door but before I could do it... "Ah! Rose! Wait" my boss exclai
med walking to me again 'now what?' I wondered "He asked me to give you this not
e" he offered a small paper to me. I grasped it and forced a smile again.
"Can I go home?" I asked with hope. Because I had already doubled the money I ga
ined in a week. My boss seemed to hesitate.
"Of course! Go and take care of your mother" he said and disappeared in the long
corridor. Well, at least I would have the rest of the night free. I crumpled th
e paper and got it inside my purse without looking at it. I didn't want to read
it. I called home.
"Ally?" My mother answered, I was so glad she was awake.
"Yes, I got the night free. Wanna do something?" I asked excited. I love going o
ut with my mother, so every time I got a chance I did it. Besides, I didn't like
that she spent the whole day at home. She needed some distraction sometimes, bu
t I knew it depended on how she had been feeling during the day "How was your da
y?"
"Very good! Thanks God! I need to get out of here like now!" She exclaimed excit
ed, a big smile was formed on my lips.
"Well, get dress and I'll pick you up in twenty minutes" I said with enthusiasm.
"Ok, love you, sweetie" she replied and hung up.
I took off my dress and walked to the little bathroom I had in the room, I let t
he warm fall down my body, relaxing me. I couldn't stop thinking about what had
happened with the boy. Maybe all that dancing was becoming me a real slut; but I
hadn't ever felt that way before, why would I become a slut after such a long t
ime of dancing? It didn't make sense. I thought about the piece of paper, I was
curious but I pushed that thought away. I got out of the shower and put on some
pants and a purple shirt. I slipped my feet in my purple converse; I usually use
d sports shoes when I wasn't working because I had to wear hills all night at th
e club. I combed my hair besides my face and put my mask on. Thanks God Kage was
at my door. My boss had sent him to walk me out. We walked in silence as always
.
"Leaving early, huh?" Kage broke the silence. He wasn't a really chatty guy so i
t surprised me.
"Yes" I replied without looking at him. When we got to my car: a black Honda Ci
vic Sedan, 2008. I had bought it because I needed transportation and I liked to
have it in case my mother felt sick and I had to carry her to the hospital. So i
t wasn't for vanity or anything like that I had a car. I opened my car's door "I
guess Ramsel got tired, finally" I said to break the silence. I was about to ge
t inside my car when Kage hand held mine stopping me.
"Be careful, Rose. That guy... from the private show is really powerful" he warn
ed seriously. It was the first time, Kage said something like that to me and we
had dealt together with a lot of guys so that one must have been really dangerou
s.
"Thank you" I said honestly getting inside my car. I started up my engine and dr
ove home in silence. I took off my mask when I felt I was far enough from the cl
ub. I gave my purse several looks as I drove... I was deeply curious now.
I stopped at a traffic light "All right, curiosity you won." I said to myself ta
king the piece of paper put of my purse, I extended in front of my steering whee
l.
It said
"It was fun to see how horny you could get in front of me; yes, I noticed it. I
never thought I would have that effect on you since you had denied yourself to m
e without hesitation last night.
P.D: can't wait to see you again"
The sound of the cars' horns behind me brought me back to the moment, green ligh
t. I needed to move, I drove slowly still assimilating the boy's words. Who the
hell did he think he was? I mean, yes, he was hot but that was it! I hated arrog
ant bastards.
"Is this a game for you, boy?" I said in the air "Two can play at that game" I s
miled mischievously to the rear-view mirror. He would see what I was made for. S
tupid spoiled boy.

$$$$$ Chapter 3 $$$$$$
NAMES
I took my mom to the movies since she had always loved it; I let her choose the
movie while I was buying pop-corns and chocolate bars. She loved the flavor of s
weet and salty all mixed. Finally she chose a horror film; I would have chosen t
hat one, too. We were so similar sometimes; she was more like a sister to me tha
n my mother. We watched the movie in silence, we always made comments about the
movie once it was done because we shared the though that talking at the cinema
was rude. When we were walking to the parking, my mother was talking and talking
about the principal character. She was smiling and I was so happy that I could
give her those moments of happiness.
We got into my car and drove home talking about the movie, but my mind was still
in that piece of paper the boy had sent to me. What was his purpose? Couldn't h
e just leave me alone?
"Ally?" my mother asked bringing me back to the moment.
"Sorry, mom. You were saying..." I stated smiling.
"I know you, sweetie. There's something bothering you, I can see that. You know
you can tell me everything, don't you?" I couldn't stop laughing. She sounded li
ke a mother right in that moment.
"You remind me when I was thirteen and we had "the talk" I had fun watching you
all nervous" I said smiling.
"It was hard to talk about sex with my daughter, I think that's normal"
"Yeah, mom but since when you're normal?" she couldn't stop laughing with me. We
got home and walked to our two-store house. We had a beautiful garden all aroun
d the house, my mother cultivated roses and sunflowers. We got inside the house
and for my surprise Marissa was sitting on the couch in the living room. She sto
od up when she saw us.
"Hey! I just came to see how you were doing but I can see you're doing well" she
said walking to us, she embraced my mother and kissed her on the cheek. My mot
her was like a mother to Marissa.
"I thought you were busy, we went to the movies. We would have invited you if we
had known you were free" my mother said caressing Marissa's hair.
"It's fine, don't worry" Marissa replied pulling me by my hair "We need to talk"

"Ouch! That hurts you know" I complained rubbing my head.
"I'm going to bed. You two have fun" my mother said walking to the stairs "God b
less you my girls" she exclaimed going upstairs. Marissa and I smiled.
"How is she?" Marissa asked directly as my mother went out of our sight.
"She's good" I was happy to be able to say that "The treatment is doing wonders
on her. Dr. Portman is very positive about her situation"
"Uff! I'm so glad to hear that. What about Alex?"
"No idea. I know my mother is sad sometimes because she hasn't seen him in a whi
le but I think it's better that way. Alex just comes here when he needs money or
he's high; my mother doesn't need that now" Marissa just nodded in understandin
g.
"Now, young lady. You need to tell everything about the hot boy you've been seei
ng" what? How in the hell Marissa knew?
"A. How do you know about him? And B. I'm not seeing him, he's a client" I had t
o make things clear.
"Well, let's just say... strippers are not really reserved people" she explained
chuckling.
"Oh God! Please don't tell me Irony call you to tell you!" Marissa didn't reply
just laugh. Irony was the only stripper at the club I was friend of; She was a n
ice girl but she loved gossips.
"So? What's he like?"
"He's damned hot. But he's an arrogant bastard that thinks he can have the entir
e world if he wants to"
"Do you like him?" her question got me unprepared.
"He's atracctive but that's it. I don't even know his name"
"You like him" she affirmed smiling mischievously.
"Ok. Maybe a little, and just because he's hot but trust me, he's an arrogant ba
stard and I'm more closed to hate him that like him"
"You haven't even get to know him so you can't judge him"
"What are you defending him? Should I remind you that you are my friend not his?
"
"Ok. Ok. I was just saying"
"I'm not dating him or something, he's just a client" I had to make things clear
.
"If you say so" Marissa replied rolling her eyes. She used to do that when she d
idn't believe me. We spent the rest of the night talking about my mother, Alex a
nd the hot boy. Marissa decided to stay the night with us; but as soon as I touc
hed my bed I fell asleep because I was too tired.
The next night, I arrived to the club feeling new and refreshed because I had sl
ept a lot during the day; I did my routine as always and got some money. I foun
d Irony in the corridor to my dressing room, she smiled. She was a very tall gir
l; her boobs were ok as her ass. Her hair was red as fire. She had a piercing ab
ove her upper lip.
"What's up, Rose?" she greeted smiling showing her white teeth.
"I can't believe you call Marissa to tell her about the hot guy" I stated gettin
g inside my room. Irony followed me, Marissa and Irony each other since they wer
e kids or something like that. That's how I found out about that job.
"He's so fucking hot, I would definitely fuck him, you know" she was chewing gum
, God she loved that; and as you may notice, she was a very opened-mind person.
She didn't mind to talk about sex in front of you or anybody else.
"I know" I said secure getting my money out of my underwear.
"Did you get him an erection during the private show last night?" I could see th
e curiosity in her eyes.
"Don't know, don't care" I replied seriously. I didn't pay attention to that for
God sakes "I have to go, I'm tired" I excused myself pushing her out of my dres
sing room. Kage was walking to us. He always appeared at the right time.
"Hello, Kage" Irony said with a lustful tone. She was a slut sometimes but trust
me she was the better of all the sluts there. Kage couldn't stop blushing, Iron
y caressed his chest up and down with her finger; I started to walk to the exit
to give them some privacy, they had always had some kind of sex-relationship.
"Don't worry, Kage. I'll be fine" I stated opening the exit door. I didn't want
to ruin their moment or whatever that was. I walked to my car checking my cell p
hone.
"Need a ride?" I froze... that voice... that arrogant voice. I turned around and
there he was... all in black as usually leaned on his car with his arms folded
around his chest.
"Seriously?" I asked surprised. I swallowed he looked damn hot.
"I'm persistent" he exclaimed smiling mischievously, showing his perfect white t
eeth. I turned to my car again "Don't be rude, Rose" he emphasized my stripper n
ame. I continued walking "Or should I call you... Alyssa?" my body got completel
y frozen when I heard him say my real name... how did he...?
"How do you..." he didn't let me finish.
"Money can get a lot of things" he explained starting to walk to me "My name is
Raidon" he extended his hand to me. I gave him a killer look.
"Whatever" I said opening my car's door.
"Are you free tomorrow's afternoon?"
"Like I would tell you" I stated getting inside my car. I started my engine and
I heard a tapping on the glass. I opened my car's window "What?" he gave me a li
ttle piece of paper.
"Let me know if you change your mind" God his smile was so sexy, his lips... 'Fo
cus, Alyssa' I said in my mind "I'll keep waiting for you every night until you
decide to go out with me, it's just to talk" he put an innocence face... so cute
but I kept myself strong.
"What on Earth make you think I would go out with you?" I had to ask.
"We can go to a public place if you don't trust me" he offered seriously.
"Well, the first time I talked to you, you actually offered me money to sleep wi
th you so; no I don't trust you at all"
"You can take a friend with you or whatever. Think about it" he said turning aro
und and walking to his car.
I took a deep breath as I drove out of the parking. That boy was going to drive
me crazy, I knew that and the worst part was that I actually enjoyed playing wit
h him.
"Raidon, what a weird name" I said to myself.

[5] $ The Stripper $ Chapter 4 & - V.I.P Zone - &
*******************************************
Hello peopleee!! Here's Chapter 4! Enjoy!!!
$$$$$$Chapter 4$$$$$$
$ V.I.P Zone $
The next nights were as usual: I got to the club, performed my show and went hom
e. I hadn't seen Raidon around, which I found weird since he told me he would wa
it for me at the exit every night until I accepted to go out with him. Maybe he
got tired, I sighed. I didn't care, right? It was better for me if he got tired
of being behind me. I was in my dressing room preparing myself to go out and ser
ved as waitress. You see, at the club we took turns to serve men, three times in
a week it was my turn to serve drinks and smile to keep men coming. I heard a k
nock on my door.
"Rose! It's me" Irony exclaimed hurry, I knew what that meant, she usually had t
hat 'hurry tone' when she had a gossip to tell. I opened the door and she got in
side quickly.
"What is it?" I asked looking for clothes inside my closet. I chose a black shor
t, which came down barely to my thighs and black top tight to my waist.
"Wearing black tonight, huh?" Irony asked watching me as I put my clothes on "Da
mn! You have nice boobs!" she exclaimed when I took off my strapless to put my t
op on.
"So, what's the gossip?" I asked because I was sure she wasn't there to flatter
my boobs.
"You know me, girl. Well, Kage asked me out" she said smiling. Wow, they had fin
ally decided to take the next step in that crazy sex-relationship they had.
"That's good"
"I guess so. But you know, I haven't been on a date in a while" she explained wo
rried "I mean all I've been doing is get naked and fuck" she lighted a cigarette
"What if I screw things up?" she took a smoke.
"It's just a date, Irony. It's not like you're presenting an exam or something,
you just go and have fun" I stated smiling.
"I guess you're right" she breathed out the smoke on my face.
"Thank you" I said sarcastically. I walked to be in front of my mirror. I combed
my long brown hair besides my face and got my face powder to start my make-up.
"Ah! I almost forgot!" I knew she wasn't done gossiping "I heard Megan talking t
o our boss"
"So what?"
"She was asking him to be offered to the hot boy if he comes again" Irony spoke
excited like she had discovered a new planet or something. But that was interest
ing, Sometimes when we had lot clients our boss tended to offer the best girls t
o the richest clients. So Megan wanted to be offered to Raidon "That's not all!
She also said that you didn't do a good job because he hasn't come again"
"I don't understand why she hates me, seriously" I said getting my red lipstick.
We heard a knock on the door. Irony went to open it.
"I knew it!" our boss said getting inside "What are you doing here? Get your ass
es to work now!" I rolled my eyes as I put my mask on. Our boss changed moods li
ke a bipolar person. One minute he was all happy the next one he was mad at you
without a reason. Irony and I walked out of the dressing room "And Irony let thi
s be the last time I find you lazing around" he menaced and disappeared in the c
orridor.
"He's crazy" Irony said as we walked to the bar.
"No... how can you say that?" note the sarcasm. We got inside the bar part of th
e club. Paul, our bartender, was performing a show with Whiskey bottles. He was
handsome, muscled body, shaped face, blond hair and blue eyes. Everyone in the c
lub clapped his show.
"How's the night?" I asked him smiling.
"Thanks God you're here" he sighed in relief, it was the week-end so you can ima
gine how busy Paul was "Irony, zone 4 and 5" he said to Irony. He was the one to
tell us the zone we would be in charged by the night.
"See ya" Irony whispered walking to her zone. It was a big club so we divided ou
r job in zones. The club was decorated with red curtains and black painted walls
. There were tables all around full of men.
"What's my zone tonight?" I asked Paul looking around. Megan was in zone 1 and 2
shaking her ass as she passed besides men. What a slut!
"V.I.P zone, Rose" Paul managed to scream serving a couple drinks. Great, I didn
't like that zone. There, were the richest and arrogant men.
I walked among men, who gave me dirty looks, to the stairs. Yes, the V.I.P zone
was in another level. Normally, four girls were in charged of that zone, to give
the necessary attention to the men. I found Desire coming down stairs. Yes, tha
t was her stripper name. She was Megan's best friend or something like that beca
use they were always together. But Desire didn't hate me as Megan did.
"Hey, Rose" she greeted passing besides me, I just smiled. When I got to the V.I
.P zone, there were a lot of little rooms separated by red curtains as usual. In
nocence walked to me.
"Guess who's here again?" she asked sadly.
"Don't tell me is Ramsel, please" I exclaimed, but Innocence just nodded her hea
d. Oh God.
"Don't worry, I'll go with him. You just go to the left rooms" she said smiling.
"Thank you" I stated smiling and walking to the left zone. I moved one of the cu
rtains and there was a man already accompanied
"Sorry" I said walking to the next one but big was my surprise when I removed it
.
"Raidon" I said surprised. He was leaned against the couch and had a glass of wh
iskey as usual on his hand. He was all in black and his eyes were darker than us
ual that night. His black hair was messy, it covered part of his forehead; His l
ips were wet, I supposed he had just taken a sip of his whiskey.
"Black fits you" his voice, he sounded so arrogant and secure. Why did he have t
o be so hot? "Did you miss me, Rose?"
"You wish I had" I stated walking inside the little room; he was alone so I had
to serve him. I was a little bit nervous. I sat down
besides him on the couch but I got some distance.
"Are you afraid of me?" he asked looking at me right into my eyes.
"No" I replied secure. I wasn't afraid of him, I was afraid of feeling so comfor
table around him, that couldn't be good.
"Do you study, Rose?" he asked interested. Like he wouldn't know, I mean if he h
ad found my real name, he would know a lot of things about me.
"I guess you know I do"
"What do you study?" what's up with him and all his questions?
"Laws" I replied proud because I would graduate in a few months.
"A lawyer, interesting" he said smiling. Was he being nice?
"What do you do for living?" the question came out of my mouth before I could st
op it. Ok. I must admit I wanted to know about him.
"I graduated from college two years ago. Now, I'm the president of my own compan
y" really? He must have seen the surprise on my face "What? Were you expecting m
e to be a spoiled boy that depends on his parents' fortune or something?"
"Actually, yes" I had to be honest. I mean, he looked too young to be rich by hi
s own.
"Well, my parents are rich but I didn't want to depend on them. So, I worked har
d to build my own company" he explained drinking his whiskey. Wow, impressive.
"I hope I can get find a good job when I graduate" I said honestly, I really hop
ed that so I could retire stripping and have a decent job. It felt nice to talk
to him. I mean he wasn't trying to get his hands on me or anything. It was nice
to be truly heard; men in the V.I.P zone always asked me things but they didn't
listen their attention was on my body all the time.
"You'll be a good lawyer, I can tell" he stated smiling. His lips were so wet...
so red... 'Alyssa!' my conscious took me back to the reality. I looked away com
pletely blushed "You look cute when you're blushed" I was so embarrassed. My mas
k only covered my face until my nose. I thought he wouldn't notice. I realized h
is glass was empty.
"I'm going to get you another whiskey" I said standing up. He just nodded. I wal
ked downstairs and went to the bar, where Paul looked really busy serving drinks
"Whiskey on the rocks" I asked passing him the glass. Irony appeared besides me
.
"A Margarita, please" she said to Paul passing her the glass "How's your night?
I heard Ramsel was here again"
"Yes, but Innocence is with him. I'm with..." Irony raised an eyebrow waiting un
til she realized why I stopped.
"Oh! You're with the hot boy, aren't you?" she exclaimed as Paul put our drinks
on the bar. I grasped the glass smiling and walked away "I'm so jealous" I heard
Irony saying behind me. I went upstairs and when I moved the curtain where Raid
on was, I was surprised. Megan was almost on top of him 'talking' to him. Raidon
had his drink filled again. That slut!
"Megan?" I asked angry.
"We're busy here" she said to make me go away.
"Could you excuse us for a second?" I asked to Raidon. He just nodded as I pulle
d Megan by her arm out of the room "What the hell are you doing?" I asked her up
set. She slapped my hand.
"My job! He was alone"
"First of all, he's not alone I am serving him and second this is not your zone
tonight" I explained.
"I changed place with Desire" she replied folding her arms around her chest "Bes
ides he's not complaining about my company. He hasn't even asked about you" that
hurt my pride a little.
"Do whatever you want!" I exclaimed pushing her inside the room again. I walked
around the corridor and drank the whiskey in one go. I didn't like drinking but
I really needed it at that moment. I was furious. Megan was such a slut! Who the
hell did she think she was? I wanted to keep talking to Raidon. My woman pride
was hurt, was I jealous? Yes, who wouldn't be? I was having a nice conversation
with a hot and interesting guy and a slut got on my way. Argg...! I walked to th
e little room again and moved the curtain abruptly. Megan and Raidon looked at m
e surprised.
"Do you want her to serve you or me?" I asked directly to Raidon, who looked pre
tty arrogantly surprised.
"Rose" Megan complained.
"Do I have to choose?" Raidon asked confused. Ok that hurt me, I had to admit it
. I thought he would choose me without hesitation.
"No! Of course not, I'm so sorry sir. Excuse me for a second" Megan said standin
g up and pulling me by my arm out of the room "Are you out of your mind?" she as
ked squeezing my arm. I slapped her hand "You're bothering a client!" I knew she
was right at some point, we weren't allowed to do things that make our client b
e uncomfortable. Why was I making such a big deal?
"You're right, I'm sorry" I stated walking away. I went down stairs fast and wal
ked among the men to my dressing room, I found Irony on my way.
"Rose?" she asked confused as I passed besides her without saying a word. She fo
llowed me. I got inside my dressing room with Irony "Rose?"
"I hate that...woman!" I exclaimed not being able to hold myself anymore.
"Who? Did Megan do something to you? If that's the case I'll kick her stupid ass
" she said secure. I took a deep breath.
"I don't even know why it bothers me so much. He's just a client" I stated serio
usly as my breath returned to normal.
"So this is about hot boy"
"You know what? I'm perfect. Let's go back to work"
"Are you sure?" Irony asked doubtfully. I nodded my head and walked out of the d
ressing room. If he didn't care about me I would show him exactly the same feeli
ng. I was such a stupid for thinking he had come just to see me. It was obvious
I wasn't the only stripper he liked there. I felt a little bit bad because I had
had a nice chat with him; but I would be fine, I was good at masking my feeling
s. I went upstairs to the V.I.P zone to see if there was another client alone. I
would keep my head high. I found a lonely man.
"Need company?" I asked smiling.
"Sure, babe" he replied looking at me lustfully. I would be fine, I was sure of
that. Raidon was just a client... oh God... who was I trying to fool?
Had I been jealous?
Yes. I wanted to keep talking to him.
Had I wanted to kiss him?
Yes. His lips were so inviting.
Did I like him?

.......

Yes, a lot

$$$ Chapter five $$$$
$ Jealousy $
I was sitting besides a man, who only looked at my breasts intensively while I w
as talking. It was getting on my nerves. But he was a client, so I had to preten
d that I hadn't notice his lustful look.
"Would you dance for me?" he asked smiling. Oh God... I took a deep breath and s
miled.
"Sure" I replied standing up. Some relaxing music was at the background because
in the V.I.P zone generally the clients liked that type of music. I moved my hip
s sensually while I was passing my hands around my breasts and stomach.
"Good, babe" the man exclaimed almost drooling. I turned around and shook my ass
quickly "Yeah, babe you're good" his tone was full of lust. He drank his tequil
a shot in one go. There was my perfect excuse.
"I'm going to get you another shot" I stated grasping his glass. I walked out of
the room as fast as I could. Some men could be really annoying. I went down sta
irs to the bar.
"Tequila shot" I said to Paul. Megan appeared besides me.
"Whiskey on the rocks" she said smiling. I gave her a killer look and received t
he tequila shot Paul had served me.
"Thanks, Paul" I said smiling. I wouldn't show Megan how upset she had got me. I
was walking to the stairs when Irony got on my way.
"Kage asked me what I wanted to do for our date. I don't know what to say" she s
aid in a whisper.
"Go to the movies or something" I replied watching Megan passed besides us with
a triumphant smile. That bitch!
"Don't pay attention to her. She's just trying to get you upset" Irony said walk
ing to her zone. I walked to the stairs taking deep breaths to prepare myself fo
r the annoying man again. I stopped in the V.I.P corridor. Maybe I could take a
look at Megan and Raidon. I walked silently until I was really closed to their c
urtain. I didn't hear them talk, that couldn't be good but then Megan broke the
silence.
"So, you haven't told me your name" Megan said in a husky tone. I waited for Rai
don's answer.
"You don't need to know it" Raidon replied coldly. I smiled, because I knew his
name while that slut didn't.
"Do you want me to dance for you?" Megan asked lustfully. I moved the curtain a
little to watch. Megan stood up moving her hips like a whore "I'm not wearing un
derwear" she said passing her hands around her boobs. She turned around and too
k up her skirt, which was really short. So I guessed Raidon must have seen every
thing from her pretty clearly. But I was surprised to see Raidon's expression. H
e didn't look interested not even excited. He looked bored. I smiled pleased "Wa
nna get out of here?" Megan asked shaking her ass "I can give you a night you wo
n't forget" Raidon wasn't even looking at her "For free, because I really like y
ou. You don't have to pay" Megan stated walking to him.
"Not interested" Raidon said bored "I'm going to need the bill" yes!! He didn't
want to be with her. I smiled.
"You're leaving?" Megan asked surprised
"Yes" Raidon said distantly. I felt a tapping on my shoulder and I turned around
to face my boss. Oh shit! He pulled me by my arm to the corridor.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, Rose?" busted! I wasn't on my lucky ni
ght definitely.
"I... I got the wrong room, my mistake" I said starting to walk away but my boss
grabbed by my arm.
"You left your client alone to spy in another room?" he asked angry.
"I wasn't spying. I was just... I got the wrong room, ok? It happens all the tim
e. These curtains are confusing, you know?" I stated secure but I was deeply ner
vous inside me. My boss seemed to think about it "My client is waiting for me, I
must go"
"Wait, Rose" he demanded. Oh God if he didn't believe I was in trouble now "Take
the bill to your client. We're closing in ten minutes" he explained passing me
the little paper with my client's bill.
"Why? It's early" I was surprised but happy because I wouldn't have to deal with
the annoying man.
"That's none of your business, go" he said pushing me to the right side of the V
.I.P zone. I came inside and the annoying man was waiting for me.
"I'm sorry, sir. But we're closing" I stated giving the bill. He extended the mo
ney to me and I counted it.
"How much for a quickie?" he asked directly. His question didn't surprise me. I
mean, I worked as a stripper in a club. You have no
idea how many times I'd been asked those types of question.
"I'm not on the market, sir. Sorry" I said smiling and starting to walk out but
the man grabbed me by my arm.
"I have a lot of money, babe. I can buy you a new car, jewels, clothes. Just say
a number and I'll sign a check" I released myself from his grab.
"I'm honored, sir. But I'm not on the market" I smiled again and walked out of t
he room before he could put his hands on me again. I walked to the stairs and sa
w Megan and Raidon coming out of their room. I met Raidon's gaze for a second bu
t looked away immediately. I went downstairs and found Paul besides Irony with a
smile on his face.
"Rose!" Paul exclaimed as he opened his arms to me. I frowned confused but Irony
made a gesture to me to follow Paul.
"Paul!" I exclaimed and embraced him. He caressed my hair playfully.
"How was your night?" he asked getting some space between us.
"It was great" I replied smiling. I felt like someone was looking at me from beh
ind. Paul caressed my cheek.
"You're gorgeous tonight" he said smiling. I blushed. Megan and Raidon passed be
sides us. Raidon slapped Megan's hand and walked alone to the exit.
"What was all that about?" I asked to Paul and Irony, who had a bright smile on
her face.
"It worked! He was jealous!" Irony exclaimed. Then it hit me, Irony and Paul had
planned all to make Raidon jealous.
"It worked?" I asked smiling.
"Yes, you should have seen his face. It was so funny!" Irony exclaimed "Even Meg
an noticed it! Give me five" Irony said to Paul. They celebrated their success a
s I was happy to know Raidon had been jealous that night, too. He deserved it.
"Thank you, guys. You rock!" I said to Paul and Irony "I'm going to change and g
o home" I stated as I walked to my dressing room.
When I was ready to go, I remembered that I hadn't brought my car. Fuck! I stepp
ed inside the bar but Irony and Paul were already gone. Where was Kage? I would
have to call a taxi then. I walked to the exit dialing a taxi's agency number bu
t no reply. I stepped outside the club to the parking to see if Irony or Paul we
re around but big was my surprise to see Raidon and Ramsel there. Raidon was lea
ned against his luxurious car with his arms folded on his chest and Ramsel was s
tanding in front of his SUV with his guards around him.
"Good evening, Rose" Ramsel greeted walking to me.
"Good evening, Ramsel" I stated smiling.
"Need a ride?" Ramsel and Raidon asked at the same time. It was so funny.
"She's coming with me, old man" Raidon stated secure.
"I don't think so, and the fact that you're a baby doesn't make me an old man" R
amsel replied. I smiled at Ramsel, it was a good
answer.
"I'm flattered" I exclaimed smiling. Raidon gave me a killer look.
"Rose?" Raidon asked opening his co-pilot's door. He was angry.
"Do I have to choose?" I teased smiling mischievously. Raidon walked to me angry
.
"I'll choose for you" Raidon said grabbing me by my arm and pulling me to his ca
r.
"Let me go" I stated as I slapped his hand.
"Is everything ok?" Ramsel asked behind me.
"Yes, go home, Ramsel. I'll see you tomorrow's night" I said smiling. Ramsel nod
ded and got inside his SUV. When they were gone, I turned to Raidon folding my a
rms around my chest. He grabbed me by my arm and forced to walk behind him until
we reached his car.
"Let me go" I exclaimed slapping his hand.
"Were you jealous, Alyssa?" he asked looking right into my eyes.
"Weren't you, Raidon?" I teased.
"Get in the car" he said as he opened the door for me.
"Why would I do that?"
"Because I say so" he said seriously.
"I'm so sick of this. I don't get you at all! One minute you act like you are in
terested on getting to know me and the next one you're with another stripper" I
spoke before I could think about what I was saying.
"So you were jealous" he affirmed arrogantly.
"Maybe. But-" I felt his hand caressing my cheek and his warm breath on my face.
The sexual tension between us wasn't normal "What are you doing?" I managed to
say. One of his fingers caressed my lower lip sending shivers through my spine.
His lips brushed mine softly. He was driving me crazy. He took my mask off and h
is eyes met mine in silence.
"You're beautiful" he said and kissed me softly. His lips were so soft. I kissed
him back, his tongue caressed my lips asking for entrance, I let it in and felt
shivers all over my body as his tongue played inside my mouth. The kiss was bec
oming passionate and violent. He bit softly my lower lip. I let go a little sigh
. He wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I could feel
his formed body against mine. We kissed desperately until I felt my whole body t
hrobbing. I stopped the kiss and took a deep breath; he rested his forehead agai
nst mine. Our accelerated breaths were mixing.
"I...I... we... should go" I managed to say finally. His lips were redder than u
sual. He was all blushed and he had some brightness on his black eyes.
"You're right" he stated as he let me go and opened his car's door for me. I got
inside trying to calm the hotness on my whole body. He appeared next to me and
started the engine. I gave him a little look and blushed without control; I focu
sed my gaze on the window 'What have I done?' I wondered but one thing was for s
ure I didn't regret it. I had enjoyed that kiss.
I reaffirmed one fact:
I liked Raidon a lot
And discovered another one:
I wanted him badly

$$$$$ Chapter 6 $$$$$
$ Little talks $
Raidon was driving in silence as I focused my gaze on the car's window nervously
. I knew I should have said something but I just couldn't find what to say. His
lips had tasted so damn good, they were full and soft; why did he have to be so
hot? That was a question I didn't think I would get an answer to. What was going
to happen next? I mean, we had kissed each other in a very hot way. He had aske
d my address a few minutes ago and that was the last time we had talked to each
other. I needed to speak, seriously. But when I was about to... his cell phone r
ang.
"Yes?" he answered distantly as he slowed down the speed "I can't talk now, I'm
driving" it seemed like the other person was talking without stopping because Ra
idon stood in silence for a few seconds "I'll call you back later... yes... me t
oo bye" he said and hanged up. Jealousy and curiosity ran through my body while
I wondered who could that be? But I shut my thoughts because that was none of my
business, we had just kissed and that was it. He wasn't my boyfriend or somethi
ng. I realized we were on my street and he slowed down the speed waiting for me
to tell him which house was mine.
"The one with the big garden" I pointed forward. He parked his car in front of m
y house and looked at me; I could feel his eyes on me. What a weird moment! I di
dn't know why I was so nervous "Well..." I started but had no idea of how contin
ue that phrase. He grabbed me by my chin and made me face him. His black eyes me
t mine intensively "I should go" I sounded as secure as I wanted to.
"Yes, you should" he said and I started to turn to the door but he grabbed my fa
ce with both hands "But you won't" and his lips were on mine. This time the kiss
was soft and slow... but I was getting hot anyway. God! How I loved to kiss him
. I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him closer to me. Raidon's hand
left my face and went down to my waist. Why did I want him so bad? He had someth
ing... a special way to make me feel hot and needed. His hands squeezed my waist
while his tongue got inside my mouth; it was just too good to stop it. One of h
is hands caressed my boobs above the material... my whole body was throbbing 'Wh
at are you doing?' my subconscious brought me back to the moment. I pushed him a
way before I couldn't control myself anymore. He smiled mischievously showing hi
s perfect set of teeth and full lips.
"Good night, Raidon" I stated as I opened the door. He grabbed me by my arm.
"Hey, wait" he said as he offered me his phone "Save your number here" I looked
at him for a second. I had already kissed him so what did I have to lose? 'Your
virginity' my mind replied. Very funny, I said back. I grasped his phone and got
surprised when I saw some blonde girl on the screen. Anger ran through my veins
but I held myself, no more jealousy. He was an unknown so I shouldn't care and
I wouldn't. I saved him my number and threw him his phone. I got out of the car
without saying goodbye. I was walking to the front door of my house, when my cel
l phone started ringing 'Clich' my mind said jokily. I checked the screen: Unknown
number.
"Really?" I answered and turned around to see him inside his car with his cell p
hone on his ear.
"Clich" he said and I could see him smile through his car's window "Are you free t
omorrow's noon?"
"Yeah" I said nervously.
"I'll come for you and take you to lunch"
"But I won't be home. I'll be at college; my classes are until 12:10m"
"Then, I'll pick you up there. Where is it?" he must have been interested. I cou
ldn't stop smiling we were talking by phone and seeing each other. It was really
stupid but funny.
"Thomson University. Laws school" I replied and I saw him biting his lower lip.
Why did he have to do things like that? He looked damned sexy.
"Ok. Wait for me there. Goodnight, Alyssa" he spoke seductively. I hanged up and
watched him waving his hand to me. And then he was gone. I took a deep breath
and put my keys out but the door opened before I could get the key in the door l
ock. My mom was standing right in front of me. She was wearing her rainbow pajam
as and her glasses 'This is not good' my mind said. I knew it wasn't, my mom use
d her glasses when she needed to see perfectly in detail so she was evaluating m
e.
"Hey, mom" I said getting inside the house and kissing her on the cheek "I'm so
tired, let's go sleep" I exclaimed walking to the stairs but I knew it wouldn't
be that easy.
"Alyssa" my mom's serious voice tone stopped me "I know you're a big girl but yo
u're still my daughter and I think you owe me an explanation because I just saw
you kissing and handling a man in front of our house" my breath was caught insid
e my lungs. My mom wasn't supposed to see that. Shit! Shit! I turned around and
faced my mother. She had her arms folded around her chest. She raised an eye-bro
w waiting for me.
"You're right. I do owe you an explanation" I said honestly.
"I thought we were more friends than mother and daughter. Since when you started
hiding things from me?" she asked and I could see the sadness on her eyes.
"Mom..." she interrupted me.
"Is it because I'm sick? Do you think I can't handle listening to your problems
and anything you have to tell?" her voice broke "I know I've not been there for
you. You have been there for me instead the past two years. And I know it's not
fair because I am your mother. My job it's to be there for you" tears rolled dow
n her cheeks.
"Don't do this, mom" I stated walking to her.
"I'm so sorry, Alyssa. I am so sorry" I felt tears on my eyes "You have no idea
how bad I feel every time I see you sleeping on the couch with bags under your e
yes. You just... you just have done so much for me. I am the one supposed to loo
k after you, no the other way around"
"Mom..." my voice broke. We had been through so much together. I embraced her wi
th strength and she cried on my shoulder "Don't cry, mom" it was breaking my hea
rt.
"I'm so sorry, sweetie" she said between sobs. Warm tears kept rolling down my c
heeks "You're just too young to carry this burden" I separated myself from her a
nd held her face on both hands.
"Mom, look at me" when she did I continued "You didn't choose this, ok? No one c
hoose to have cancer. Stop blaming yourself. Yes, I work hard and stay up late;
it's not only for you, it's for me... because I need you, mom. You're my mother,
I need you besides me. I need you to be ok. If I have to break my back working,
I will. I won't doubt" my voice broke at the end of the sentence.
"You're such a good girl. I don't deserve you" she stated caressing my hair.
"You do deserve me, mom. I love you" I said cleaning her tears. She smiled at me
.
"I love you, too" she kissed my forehead slowly "Now, tell about that handsome m
an" she stated walking to the couch trying to cool the ambient.
"I don't think I have anything else to tell you since you saw everything. What w
ere you doing mom? Spying me?" I teased her as I sat on the couch, too.
"I was curious. I heard an engine and I came to see, I was worry because I knew
you didn't take your car. But trust me, I didn't expect to see what I saw" I blu
shed, I was so embarrassed. My mother had seen everything "So, who is he?" my mo
ther asked smiling.
"Hmm he's a client" I said scared. My mom didn't seem surprised "I met him a few
nights ago"

"Is he a good boy?" Mom asked seriously.

"I guess so" my mother raised an eye-brow.

"Have you..." My mother cleared her throat "You know..." And then it hit me what
she was thinking.

"Mom! Of course not!" I exclaimed surprised that she was thinking I had fucked r
aidon.

"It was just a question" she said completely blushed "I saw you very... Touchy w
ith him inside the car so I wonder..."

"Enough, mom. Next question"

"Are you two dating or something?"

"I don't know yet" I spoke the truth. We had kissed each other... Twice in a nig
ht but that didn't mean we were in a relation-ship besides we barely knew each o
ther.
"Hmm, that's enough for tonight. Let's sleep, you look tired" my mother said and
stood up.

We went up-stairs and said goodnight embracing each other. She walked to her roo
m as I got inside mine. I closed the door behind me and threw myself to my queen
-size bed, the soft sheets and pillows received me. I felt in heaven as I closed
my eyes and fell in dreamy-land.
I felt a desperate tapping on my shoulder, then a shaking on my arms. I opened m
y eyes slowly to see my mom staring at me. The sunlight coming in through my wi
ndow made me close my eyes again.
"Wake up, Ally" her demand reminded me when I was in high school and she used to
drag me out of bed to wake me up and go to classes.
"Five more minutes" I begged getting a pillow on top of my head. My mother took
the pillow away.
"You're going to be late. Here's your breakfast" she said putting a tray on my s
tomach. I sat down rubbing my eyes and moved the tray to my lap. I was surprised
when I saw my food: Pancakes, butter and cheese; it was my favorite breakfast.
And I didn't like any pancakes, I only enjoyed the ones my mother cooked.
"You cooked for me?" I asked smiling. She just nodded her head and smiled back a
t me. I gave her a little kiss on her cheek "Thanks, mom" I started eating like
a pig. It had been a while since I had tasted my mother's pancakes. She didn't u
sually cook because it took a lot of energy from her; Energy that she needed to
survive everyday. When I finished eating my mother removed the tray from me.
"Go take a quick shower" she stated as she pushed me out of bed. I ran to my bat
hroom and got inside the shower quickly. The cold water made me shiver but I pre
ferred it that way so my body could wake up finally "What are you going to wear?
" my mom asked aloud and I could hear her searching inside my closet. I remember
ed that Raidon would go for me at lunch so I needed to look good. It was the fir
st time we would see each other at daylight.
"The purple short dress" I screamed and my mom opened the bathroom's door.
"Anything special happening today?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"I guess, I have a date at lunch" I said looking away completely blushed.
"Oh... is it with Mr. Client again?" I had to laugh 'Mr. Client' my mother could
be so creative sometimes.
"His name is Raidon and yes, a date with him" I stated as I wrapped a towel arou
nd my body. I pushed my mother out of my bathroom and went to my bed where she h
ad put the purple dress and some sandals because I didn't like wearing hills to
college; I had enough wearing them at the club the whole night. I put my panties
and bra on. Ursula got inside the room.
"Good morning, Ally" she greeted and I just smiled while I was getting inside th
e short dress "Amanda, it's time for your medication" my mother just sighed.
"Hurry up, sweetie. Don't be late again and good luck with Mr. Client" my mom sa
id smiling and stepping out of my room. She really needed to stop calling him th
at way. I got inside my black sandals and ran to the mirror. I combed my brown h
air and used some spray to curl it in the down part. I didn't use make up, since
I used too much at night. I liked my face at natural during the day. I called a
taxi since my car had been taken to the workshop. I grabbed my black purse, whi
ch combined with my sandals and accessories, and ran out of my room.
"Bye, mom and Ursula" I screamed as I stepped out of the house. The taxi was alr
eady outside. It was from a taxi line really near of my house so the taxis came
really quick. I got inside the taxi and greeted the driver "Thomson University,
Laws School. Please" it reminded me when I had told that to Raidon the night bef
ore.
The morning passed as normal. Classes and more classes. Professors giving their
long speech about how they became respectful lawyers. I yawned a couple times. D
on't get me wrong. I loved to study and I was in love with my career but I despi
sed people, who believed they were better than others. And some of my professors
were that way, however, I tried to put that asides and focused on learning from
them.
I left my last class. It was already 12:15m, maybe Raidon was waiting for me. I
checked my cell phone: no new messages. Maybe he had changed his mind after all.
I walked to the parking lot anyway. There were hundreds of cars there so I woul
dn't find him. I sat on a bench and waited a few minutes. Should I call him? I w
ondered. My cell phone rang making me jump a little.
"Hello?" I answered nervously.
"Purple looks good on you not as well as black but looks good" Raidon's voice sa
id and I could imagine his smile. So he was watching me.
"Where are you?" I asked looked around. I only got to see cars and teenagers tal
king to each other. He hanged up. What the fuck?
"Right behind you" his voice whispered on my ear. A chill ran through my neck an
d back. I turned around to face him. It was the first time I saw him in the dayl
ight. I must say he looked hotter. His dark messy hair was covering part of his
forehead and ears; I realized his eyes weren't completely black. They were a com
bination of brown and hazel. He looked paler under the sunlight. His lips looked
full and wet as he had just licked them. He was wearing a black suit with a dar
k shirt without a tie. Why was he in black all the time? Maybe he knew he looked
damned hot on that color. I wondered why was he wearing a suit? Maybe he had be
en at work during the morning "Did you finish drooling?" he teased as I came bac
k to the moment.
"Very funny" I said sarcastically "I've be waiting for you for minutes" I stated
looking away. I didn't know why was so difficult to look into his eyes.
"It was just too funny to see you all nervous waiting" a mischievous smile was f
ormed on his lips. Bastard.
"I wasn't nervous" I assured even when I knew he wouldn't believe me.
"Right. Let's go" he said as he started walking. I followed him in silence. I sa
w his car a few cars away. Every girl in the parking lot looked at me with envy.
Envy because I was hot maybe or because I was walking besides the hottest man t
hey may have seen in their entire lives. I didn't care anyway.
"Alyssa!" I heard someone screamed behind me. Raidon and I turned around. He was
curious I could see it on his eyes. Marissa was running to us with a bunch of b
ooks and papers on her hands. She was wearing her glasses; she looked so nerd wi
th them. I smiled sweetly.
"Hey!" I greeted when she was in front of me.
"Where are you going? I thought I'd give you a ride home since your car is the w
orkshop" she stated confused and then she saw Raidon standing behind me "Oh..."
she exclaimed in realization. She started at him intensively, I didn't blame her
.
"Marissa?" I called her bringing her gaze to me again.
"Sorry" she apologized "I'll steal her for a few seconds" she said to Raidon. He
just nodded his head and walked to his car "My gosh, Ally. He's so hot"
"I know"
"Where are you going? A motel?" she teased taking her glasses off.
"No way. We're just going to lunch" I explained seriously.
"Well, let me tell you this: he can take me to a hotel whenever he wants" she sa
id smiling.
"You need to stop hanging out with Irony. You sounded just like her" It was the
truth. It was sentence Irony could have said.
"Move! He's waiting. I'll call you later for the details" she put her glasses ba
ck on and walked away fast. I sighed and went to Raidon's car. He started the en
gine when he saw me through the rear-view mirror. The co-pilot's door was opened
for me. I got in the car, closed the door and put the seatbelt on.
"Do you like French food?" he asked as he backed the car and got out the parking
lot.
"Sure" I replied playing with my fingers. I wouldn't allow creating another unco
mfortable silence "You come from work, don't you?"
"Yes, how do you know?"
"Well, I don't know in your world but here on Earth is not usual to wear suits j
ust for fun" I know, I sounded a little bit hateful but it was the truth. He sud
denly stopped the car and parked it to a side of the street. He put his seatbelt
off and held my face with both hands looking right into my eyes.
"Don't talk to me like that, Alyssa. Or else..." he menaced.
"Or else what?" I teased defiantly. He smiled mischievously and kissed me violen
tly. I tried to push him away but his lips tasted so good. I realized I loved to
feel them. His tongue demanded for entrance and I let it in. He played with it
inside my mouth making me shiver. His hand slipped under my dress and caressed m
y thighs "No..." I said on his lips but didn't stop kissing him. He left my mout
h and went to my neck, leaving little wet kisses all over it. His free hand touc
hed my boobs above the material and I arched my body to him. The hand on my thig
hs went to the place between my legs and caressed it slowly making let go a litt
le moan. He was driving me crazy, his warm breath and wet kisses on my neck and
hands touching me were making me hot. He moved his finger up and down my panties
"Stop... no" I managed to say but my voice sounded as horny as I was. He bit pl
ayfully my ear lobe and whispered on my ear.
"Say you're sorry and I'll stop" his hand between my legs accelerated its up and
down movement creating a pressure on my low abdomen. I moaned again as his othe
r hand squeezed my nipples.
"I... I..." I tried to apologize between moans and sighs. I was so hot. He press
ed his finger above my panties making me arch to him again. His tongue licked my
neck lustfully. It was just too much "I... I'm sorry" I stated finally. He stop
ped and kissed my cheek.
"Good" he said as he put his seatbelt back on and started the engine. I looked a
way to the window; my reflection on it embarrassed me. I was completely blushed
and my hair was messy. Raidon drove silently looking at me often and smiling.
I reaffirmed a fact:
I wanted Raidon badly. Seriously.
And discovered another:
I would need extreme determination not to give in to him

& Date &
I was still blushed and hot. I could still feel Raidon's lips on mine, his hands
touching me, turning me on. That needed to stop, for real. I could not keep los
ing control of myself so easily in front of him. He had made me apologized! I di
dn't want him to think he had so kind of power over me. I still had my pride and
I would defend it fiercely. I needed to snap out. He was hot and interesting bu
t he wouldn't make me his toy just because of that. Raidon was driving in silenc
e; he had a triumphal expression on his face. He was surely thinking he had on h
is hands. He was so wrong...
"Where are we going?" I asked to break the silence; I couldn't stand his pleased
expression anymore.
"See it for yourself" He replied and stopped the car in front of a Two-store bui
lding. Some guy in a suit opened my door. I got out the car and realized we were
in front of a fancy French restaurant. Another uniformed guy took Raidon's keys
and got inside the car. Raidon gestured me to walk, I followed him. I read a bi
g advertisement up that said: "La Gazelle" we walked to the entry, which was a p
erfect sized wood door with several metal decorations. The floor was shining lik
e it'd been recently mopped; I could actually see myself on it. A very handsome
man opened the door for us and let us in. The place was absolutely beautiful. Th
e walls were painted half-yellow and half-white, the tablecloth had that same co
mbination. A big fountain was in the middle, it had little angel's statues and f
lowers. In the air, you could smell delicious food. A very well dress man walked
to us smiling.
"Monsieur Rosseau" The man greeted Raidon and looked at me "Madame" I just nodde
d my head "Follow me, please" English sounded so weird on him, it was obvious he
was a Frenchman. He leaded us to an elegant table for two beside the fountain;
the sound of water falling was relaxing. There were also a lot of pictures on th
e walls with gazelles and other animals. Classic music surrounded us: Vivaldi. I
would recognize him everywhere; I loved the way he played.
"Alyssa?" Raidon's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. He was offering me a cha
ir and I sat down whispering a 'Thank you' Raidon sat down his chair in front of
me smiling.
"What's so funny?" I questioned curious.
"Nothing" He answered looking right into my eyes. I swallowed but kept my eyes o
n him, he wouldn't intimidate me "Are you working tonight?" his question surpris
ed me a little.
"I suppose. Why? Are you going to the club tonight?" I wondered if he would go t
o see Megan again.
"Do you want me to?" he responded taking a sip of water from his glass.
"It's up to you. Not me" I said nervously. A man with a very elegant white suit
got to our table.
"Excuse-moi, Monsieur" He said putting a plate with bread and very appetizing sa
uces.
"Merci (Thank you)" I said smiling.
"Would you like to order now?" The man asked us politely. I nodded my head and h
e gave us two menus "This is the cheese Menu" and then he passed us two bigger o
nes "And this is the main course menu. I would like to recommend Les escalopes d
e poulet aux aubergines" hmm Chicken breast on Eggplant... sounded good. I had
always loved vegetables.
"Sounds good" I said giving him back the menu. I wasn't interesting on leafing t
hrough it.
"I would like..." Raidon started flicking through the menu "Rognons d'agneau au
porto et l'orange" splendid decision.
The man smiled at us and left. The music stopped, a soft melody started making m
e smile: Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. It was nearly strange the fact that I wa
s a stripper and yet a sucker for classic music, instead of loving electronic an
d techno; which was the music normally played at the club "What's so funny?" Rai
don asked. I met his gaze for a few seconds. He raised an eye-brow waiting for m
y response.
"Nothing" I imitated his words. I was good at that. I took a deep breath closin
g my eyes, filling my ears with the beautiful melody. I opened my eyes slowly to
find a very intrigued Raidon staring at me "What? I love that melody" I said a
little bit blushed.
"You like Beethoven? I thought you'll be more the R&B or electronic music type"
He spoke honestly. I guessed I couldn't blame him for thinking that. You don't i
magine a stripper listening classic music while she's getting dressed.
"I know. It's weird. I like electronic music, too. But classic music is my thing
"
"I must admit I didn't expect you to like that kind of music. I'm a big fan of M
ozart" A twisted smiled was formed on his red and juicy lips.
"Really?" he nodded his head "That's cool" I spoke the truth. We spent the next
20 minutes chatting about Mozart, Vivaldi and Beethoven. Almost all my favorite
melodies from those musicians were his favorites, too. I realized Raidon wasn't
the stupid boy type. He talked like a man that had lived and known the world. He
was really interesting. I liked that. A lot.
The food was brought to our table. Everything looked appetizing and smelled real
ly good. We ate in silence. I gazed at Raidon periodically but looked away when
he noticed it. When we finished and the waiter retired the plates from our table
. I had a few questions inside my head.
"Why did you go to the club the night we met? I mean, I hadn't seen you around b
efore" Raidon seemed to think his answer.
"I was bored. Besides it's a very exclusive club, I don't like going to places w
here cheap whores and drug dealers are all over it" Very good answer. He was rig
ht; most of the stripper's clubs were like that. I mean, I'm not saying there we
re no whores in my club but at least they were 'classy' whores "Although, Some o
f your friends act like cheap whores at the club" I wasn't going to discuss that
fact because it was the truth. Megan was one of those cheap whores. He had seen
it for himself.
"Then why did you come back the next day? If you thought there were cheap whores
there" I asked curious.
"For you" his answer took my breath away. That was what I got for asking. I look
ed down totally blushed. But then, I remembered Megan.
"For me?" I questioned looking up "Or Megan?" I knew I should have asked that. B
ut the words came out of my mouth before I could stop them. He smiled mischievou
sly.
"Do you really think I would be interested on someone like Megan?" His question
made me think "I understand you barely know me. But the few things you have know
n about me, can lead you to the answer of that question" he sighed "So, Do you r
eally think I would be interested on someone like her?" I didn't like the tone h
e was using. Megan may be a whore and I hated her. But she was a stripper like m
e.
"She's a stripper like me and you said you were interested on me. So, I don't kn
ow the answer of that question. Because if you're judging her, you're judging me
"
"She's a slut" he said seriously.
"How do you know I'm not a slut, too? You barely know me"
"You're not a slut" he affirmed secure.
"How can you assure that?" I asked defiantly. He inclined to me a little.
"Because your eyes are the most readable ones I ever met. I can see right throug
h them without an effort" his intensive gaze had me on my nerves "When I touch y
ou, I don't see the expressions that a whore would do on your face. I see the ge
stures of a girl discovering new sensations" My hearts just skipped a beat. I sw
allowed and stood up.
"If you excuse me. I'm going to the ladies room" I stated.
"Sure" Raidon replied triumphal. How I hated that expression. I walked through
tables until I saw the bathroom's door. I stepped inside and watched myself on t
he mirror. My cheeks were still red. How could Raidon know every sensation I had
experienced with him was new for me? He was smarter of what I thought. Did he k
now I was a virgin? Maybe, I was so embarrassed. I hated his arrogance, his inte
lligence, his ability to see right through my eyes... who I was fooling? I liked
it. I liked all those things about him. He was so mysterious and interesting. H
e already knew a lot of things about me while I barely managed to know a few abo
ut him. I felt a vibration on my purse and took out my cell phone. It read:
New message from: Mother
'How are things going with Mr. Client?' I could not believe my mother had actual
ly texted me to ask that. And she kept calling him Mr. Client. I sighed and put
my cell phone back inside my purse. I wasn't going to answer her because she wou
ld keep asking things. I took a few deep breaths to clear my blushed cheeks.
I was walking back to our table. Raidon was talking on his phone with a mischiev
ously smiled on his face. As soon as I got to our table he hanged up. Was he doi
ng it on purpose? I mean, he always found a way to wake my curiosity up. I sat d
own slowly.
"Would you like some dessert?" Raidon asked friendly. But I was still wondering
about his mysterious call and the way he hanged up when I arrived to the table.
"Not really" I responded automatically. Raidon frowned.
"Why not?"
"We should go" I said trying to force a smile.
"Is everything ok?" he questioned looking right into my eyes. I looked down beca
use I didn't want him to see anything on them.
"Yes. I'm just tired" I knew he didn't believe me but he would have to live with
my lie. Raidon asked for the check and paid.
We left the restaurant in silence. An uniformed boy brought Raidon's car and gav
e him the keys politely. After we got inside the car, Raidon drove silently unti
l he turned the car's players. Winter from the four seasons by Vivaldi started p
laying. How did he know that was my favorite from the four seasons? The soft mel
ody helped me to relax. I was looking through the window when I felt Raidon's ha
nd caressing my thigh. I glanced at him but he was focused on the way like nothi
ng was happening. His caresses went up and down my thigh taking my dress up a li
ttle. His hand was warm and soft. I was getting hot. I couldn't stop blushing.
His hand continued his way to the middle of my legs and went until my panties. W
hat was he doing? I got my answer immediately when his fingers touched my sensit
ive zone. I let go a little sigh as he touched up and down above the material in
creasing my hotness. I looked at Raidon again but his face showed no expression
as he drove. His hand left my panties and went up to my boobs; I was dying for h
is touch. The expectation was killing me; he slipped his hand under the top part
of my dress and bra. When his finger touched my bare nipples, I moaned loudly.
He squeezed it making me arched towards. I closed my eyes letting the sensations
ran through me. His hand came back to my panties and moved it asides to touch d
irectly my sensible zone.
His warm finger caressed my clitoris up and down making moan without control. I
opened my legs a little unconsciously to let him access easily. Up and down... u
p and down... I thought my body was about to explode. He got his forefinger insi
de me as his thumb continued brushing my clitoris. It was just too much.
"Ah!" I moaned and exclaimed at the same time. My body demanded liberation. His
finger going in and out was driving me crazy. I bit my lower lip to stop louder
moans but didn't succeed. My body arched and exploded in pleasure as my first or
gasm flowed through me "Raidon!" I screamed his name as I felt my entire body th
robbing and going limp. A relax sensation ran through my veins. Raidon retired h
is wet hand and put it on the wheel. He gave me a quick look and whispered:
"That's what you get for lying to me" I hated him at that moment. But I must adm
it that had been awesome. I had always heard about the greatness of the orgasms
from the girls at the club but never experienced one. It was the most amazing se
nsation in the world, I could say. I knew I should have stopped him but it was t
hat thought what make it better. 'The forbidden always tastes the better' I thou
ght for myself. We always enjoy what we shouldn't do, we like the adrenaline of
knowing we're doing something we shouldn't.
My heart was still pounding desperately. My body was throbbing and I felt so rel
axed. Suddenly, Raidon stopped the car and I realized we were right in front of
my house. I didn't know what to say, I felt anger with myself because I had give
n in so easily. I had said I would have more determination and I did the opposit
e. Raidon put his forearm on the wheel and turned to me. He had some brightness
on his eyes and he was blushed. I smiled internally because he was excited "Have
you learn the lesson? Don't lie to me ever, Alyssa" I looked down and visualize
d his member hard above the material of his pants. I chuckled "What?" he asked c
onfused.
"And that's what you get for playing with me" I pointed to his pants and opened
the car's door. I got out of the car as slammed the door. But I didn't expect Ra
idon to get out of the car as well. He walked to me and grabbed me by my wrists
pulling me to him. His lips were on mine in a blink of an eye. But he was so wro
ng if he thought I would give in so easily again. I pushed him away "Let go off
me" I demanded but his grab became tighter.
"Let her go" That voice... Raidon liberated me. I turned around and almost disma
yed when I saw my brother.
"Alex?" I asked surprised. My brother was standing right in front of us. He wasn
't dirty or had red eyes because of the drugs he used to consume. He was clean,
I perceived it immediately. He was wearing a formal white shirt and black pants
. I had never known how we were family since we were so different.
He had short blond hair and big blue eyes. He was a very robust young man; he ha
d defined cheekbones and a small jaw. He was staring at Raidon with anger on his
eyes. The tension between those two was enormous. I got on Alex's way "Alex?" I
brought his attention to me.
"Who is he?" Alex asked seriously.
"A friend, who is leaving. Right, Raidon?" Raidon gave me a killer look and star
ted his way to his car. I sighed in relief. The entire situation hadn't let me
to process that my brother was right in front of me... clean. No sign of redness
on his eyes or dirtiness on his clothes. I had never seen him like that before.

"Alex..." I said on the verge of tears "Oh my God" I ran to him and embraced him
with strength "You're clean" I stated with warm tears rolling down my cheeks. I
couldn't believe it. If you have never had someone close to you in drugs, you m
ay not understand what I was feeling at that moment. My brother was clean.... T
he emotion and happiness that caused me was beyond words. I could imagine the ha
ppiness that would produce to my mother. I got apart from him and held his hand
to pull him behind me "Come on! Mom is going to be so happy" I exclaimed but I f
elt him tensed behind me and stopped.
"Alyssa" he called and I turned to him.
"What's wrong?" I questioned cleaning my tears.
"I can't face her" he said looking down.
"Why not? You're clean. You know how happy she's going to be?"
"I'm not ready... I..."
"What is it, Alex?" I was worried.
"I left you, when you more needed me. When she needed me, I just ran as a coward
"
"Alex..."
"I... can't face her. I have no excuse; I always blamed my father for my addicti
on. And then I blamed my mother's sickness and... left you two alone to deal wit
h such a weigh. I'm so sorry. I really am. I didn't want you to see me. I've bee
n cleaned for a month and since then I have always passed by the front of our ho
use. I didn't have the courage to knock the door" His words were full of guilty
and regret.
"Alex... the past is in the past. What matters now, it's the present. And you're
here, clean and you're sorry" I said trying to hold his hand again.
"It's not enough to be sorry, Alyssa. I left my mother with Cancer; I left my li
ttle sister, who was only 17 to deal with that alone. I don't deserve you" a tea
r rolled down one of his cheeks "I should go" he said turning around. I felt tea
rs being formed on my eyes. I walked behind and grabbed his arm turning him to m
e. I slapped him hard on the face. He looked at me in shock.
"You're not going anywhere!" I exclaimed feeling tears running down my cheeks "Y
es, you made a mistake, you shouldn't have left us. We needed you; God knows how
much we needed you. But what's done it's done, Alex. You can't go back in time,
but we can make the present better because you know what? We still need you. I
still need my big brother; my mother still needs his son. Don't leave us again.
Don't let your guilt feelings tear us apart" My voice broke and I looked down cl
eaning my tears. I felt two strong arms being wrapped around me. Alex was embrac
ing me.
"You're right, Ally" He whispered on my ear. I smiled at my nickname. Only my mo
ther and him called me like that. He broke the embrace and held my hand
"Let's go inside" he said as he pulled me behind him. I walked behind him smilin

$$$$Chapter 8$$$$$$
&Awake&
I was holding Alex's hand softly as we walked to the front door of our house, I
couldn't believe he was here, and that he was clean. I opened the door quickly,
taking a look around our living room.
"Mom?" I called her immediately; I wanted to see the happiness that Alex's prese
nce would cause her.
"Yes?" my mother said stepping out of the kitchen. She had a bowl in her hands,
which meant she was cooking. The bowl fell to the floor as she met Alex with her
surprised eyes "Alex?" her tone was a mix between happiness and surprise.
"Mother..." Alex's voice broke as he walked to her "I'm so sorry..." but my moth
er was already walking to him, she embraced him with strength.
"Oh Alex..." I saw the tears rolling down her cheeks "My big boy..." two tears f
ell down my face. It was a very emotional moment for us. God knows how much my m
other and I had prayed for this day to come. The day that Alex came back home. S
he broke the embrace and cleaned Alex's tears "Enough, this is a moment of happi
ness not sadness" she said softly. Alex nodded his head and smiled.
We spent the rest of the afternoon talking and catching up, we were sitting on t
he big couch in the living room. I was lying across the couch with my head on Al
ex's lap and my feet on my mother's. It reminded me when Alex and I were childre
n, we used to spend a lot of time in the living room, watching TV and fighting o
ver the remote control. Alex was caressing my hair as he talked. My mother was t
elling him about the treatment, Cancer wasn't a taboo theme among us, and we tru
sted each other badly, even when Alex had been so absent, he was still part of u
s. Alex's caresses on my hair were relaxing me maybe too much because I was blin
king to stay awake. But I fell asleep in a few seconds.
I heard some noises and woke up rubbing my eyes, I realized I was still on Alex'
s lap, I looked up to see him asleep leaned against the couch. He looked so swee
t. My mother was staring at us from the kitchen's door. A tear had rolled down o
ne of her cheeks, I stood up softly so I wouldn't wake up Alex. I walked to my m
other and whispered:
"Is everything alright?"
"Yes, you two look so... sweet together. It reminded me when you two were kids;
you always watched TV together, then fought over the remote control and fell asl
eep together in the couch"
"You used to carry us upstairs to our bedrooms but when we grew up, we were too
heavy so you just let us sleep there" I said smiling.
"I used to bring a blanket to cover you" She said smiling at the memory. She sig
hed "Come here" she embraced me softly "You two are my life, Ally. I'm just so h
appy he's back" she didn't need to say that I knew it.
"I'm happy, too, mom" I said breaking the embrace. We both looked at Alex; he lo
oked so cute and vulnerable asleep.
"He doesn't want to come to live with us" my mother said sadly.
"Why?"
"I think he's still feeling guilty. Can you talk to him? You could convince him"

"I will. You don't need to worry about that" I said honestly.
"Wake him up, I cooked so let's have dinner together as a family" I checked the
clock: 7:10 pm. I needed to call my boss to tell I'd be late. When I talked to h
im, he wasn't happy but he'd have to deal with it. I walked until the couch and
pulled at Alex's hair. He opened his eyes lazily.
"Get up, lazy. Dinner time" He smiled at me sweetly and got up.
My mother had cooked her delicious pancakes; I knew she did it because pancakes
were Alex's favorite and mine as well. We were eating and talking about us. But
then Alex made a question that created the most uncomfortable moment of my life.
"How do you maintain each other? I've seen you're living pretty well" I almost c
hoked with my food. My mother and I looked at each other without knowing what to
say.
"I think I'll go to bed" my mother said in an obvious intend of avowing Alex's q
uestion "I'm tired" my mother gave Alex a sweet kiss on his forehead "I love you
two" She said softly as she kissed my cheek. She left the kitchen living a comf
ortable silence.
"Are you going to stay the night?" I asked praying God Alex had forgotten about
his question.
"I don't think so. I don't have any clothes"
"You have clothes in your room. We haven't changed it; we bought you clothes a f
ew months ago. I guess, we have the hope that you'd come back someday" I said fi
nishing my food and going to do the dishes.
"I'm not stupid, Ally" I bit my lower lip "I know you, you and mother are the mo
st readable people in the world"
"What are you talking about?" I said pretending not to know.
"I'm talking about you avowing my question" I took a deep breath.
"I'm a stripper" I said looking down to the plates; that was the only way I coul
d have say it: direct and without hesitation otherwise I wouldn't have be able t
o say it. The longest minute of silence went between us.
"Wow I didn't see that one coming" He sounded surprise. I didn't want to turn ar
ound "Look at me, Ally" now he sounded angry. I turned to him and looked right i
nto his eyes "I can't believe it. I never thought you would go that low" his wor
ds were acid my heart.
"Low?" I asked hurt "Are you judging me, Alex?"
"I just found out my little sister is exposing her body like a slut for money. W
hat were you expecting? Congratulations?!" he was breathing fast.
"I was expecting understanding!"
"Couldn't you find a decent job? A stripper? Seriously? What the hell were you t
hinking?!"
"How can you judge me? A decent job would never give me enough money" I was so h
urt by his words.
"So you're an ambitious person now?"
"Ambitious? Weak up, Alex. Our mother has Cancer"
"That's not an excuse" now I was angry.
"An excuse? Hit the reality for God sakes! You left us when I was seventeen; my
mother was facing an aggressive Cancer. Did you know we don't have insurance? Do
you have any idea how much her treatment cost? Yes, I'm a stripper, I'm not pro
ud of it but neither ashamed. Because I would do it again! She's my mother... yo
u can judge me; I don't care, because I would do anything in this world for her.
She's alive thanks to my job!" tears rolled down my cheeks. We both stayed in s
ilence, only our fast breathings were heard.
"I'm so sorry" he said finally sitting down on a chair "You're right, I don't ha
ve the right to judge your actions, I would do anything for her, too. I'm sorry,
it's just... that image of men drooling while you're taking off your clothes wh
at's tormenting me"
"I understand, Alex. I didn't expect you to celebrate or anything, I guess this
is a normal reaction" I said cleaning my tears.
"Do you..." I knew what he wanted to ask.
"No, I don't sleep with clients. I'm not a slut, just a stripper"
"That guy with you this afternoon was a client?" his question caught out of guar
d.
"Kind of. We're dating or something like that" I sounded nervous.
"You're dating a client? Isn't that forbidden?"
"Yes, but he's not actually a client. He went to the club a couple times to see
me, after he got my number he stopped going" I explained not really secure of my
words. But I needed to calm Alex down, he could be really overprotective.
"I don't like him" he stated seriously.
"You don't even know him"
"Do you?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"We're getting to know each other" I replied folding my arms across my chest.
"You're getting to know each other? Then why was he handling you inside his car?
" My breath was caught inside my lungs. First my mother saw and now my brother,
this couldn't be happening.
"That's not-"
"True? I saw you, Ally. Don't lie to me, we're both adults now"
"Alright, I don't certainly know what we are" I said honestly. Alex stood up and
grabbed my face with both hands.
"You're my sister and I love you but you can be so stupidly nave sometimes. Did he
tell you, you were dating?" I shook my head "Then, he just wants to play, Ally.
Look, I'm a man, if I knew a girl at a stripper club I wouldn't take her seriou
sly. Who takes a stripper seriously? No offense"
"Not taken" I knew his words were true.
"I'm not saying he doesn't want anything serious with you but right now he's act
ing like he just wants to play" wow my brother could be so sincere. Maybe he was
right "I'm not saying you should stop seeing him, I'm just saying you should be
careful, I don't want you to get hurt" I let go a little sigh "And definitely n
o more handling. He needs to respect you as a woman. He needs to gain every sing
le touch on you" wistful words. It was like Alex had snapped me out of my nave tho
ughts.
"Did you see why I need my big brother?" I asked and he embraced me.
"I'll work hard and save money so you can stop stripping. I promise" I smiled at
his promise. I had needed him so much.
"I have to go" I said getting some space between us "Please stay tonight"
"Ok" he said kissing my forehead "Take care of yourself"
I took a quick shower and got my purse, I called to the club. Alex's words were
still in my mind. How could I be so nave? I mean, I had been completely dazzled by
Raidon. His beauty, his sexy way of act, the interesting things he said, his my
steriousness, his way of looking at me like he could see right through me, his d
elicious kisses. I shut my thoughts biting my lower lip. I was mature woman; I n
eeded to think like one, not like a teenage in love. I'd had been through a lot
of difficult times that had made me stronger; a rich boy wouldn't come and dazz
led me. I wouldn't allow it. My cell phone rang and picked it up when the taxi s
topped in a traffic light. Raidon was calling me. I hesitated for a few seconds
not knowing if I should answer or not.
"Hello?" I answered coldly.
"Where are you?" he asked seriously.
"I'm on my way to the club, why?"
"Just curious. I thought you were still with that rude boy from the afternoon" W
ait wait... Alex? Raidon was jealous of Alex? I smiled internally.
"Well, I'm not" I would enjoy his jealousy for some more time.
"Is you car still at the workshop?" unfortunately yes.
"Yes"
"I'll pick you up when you're done at the club then"
"Ok, bye" I hung up quickly. I was going to need strength to face him.
I got to the club and went directly to my dressing room; Irony was waiting for m
e at the door. She was chewing gun and texting.
"Thanks God you're here. Marshall was about to have a heart attack if you didn't
get your ass here soon" Marshall was our boss. I opened the door and Irony foll
owed me "So? How was it?"
"How was what?"
"Your date" how did she... of course Marissa had told her. Those two girls loved
to gossip.
"It was ok, I guess"
"Where did you go?"
"A fancy French restaurant" I replied taking off my clothes.
"Oh... nice. Did you...?" she asked mischievously.
"No, of course not. Who do you think I am? Megan?" we burst into laughing.
"Ah! I almost forgot, I'm here to inform you we'll be performing a special show
in two weeks, all the strippers together" we usually did that to keep the club e
ntertaining. That night expensive and limited tickets were sold at the entry.
"Which song?"
"I don't remember it right now" so typical from Irony. She remembered the gossip
s with details but not that.
The night passed as usual, I danced, got my tips and served zone 1. Megan spent
the night giving me killers look; I didn't pay attention to her. I was kind of h
appy that night since I knew Alex was at home with my mother. I stepped inside m
y dressing room taking a deep breath. Kage knocked the door.
"Are you ready to leave, rose?"
"Yes, don't worry I don't need your company tonight my... someone will come for
me" what was I going to say? My boyfriend? Raidon wasn't a boyfriend.
I walked out of the club and visualized Raidon standing next to his car. He was
wearing black pants and a dark blue t-shirt. He really liked dark colors. I walk
ed to him and smile.
"Hey"
"How was your night?" he asked opening the car's door for me.
"Good" I said getting inside the car. When Raidon got inside, he started the eng
ine but turned to me. He was staring at me making me, it had me on my nerves "Wh
at?" I asked intrigued. He grabbed my face with both hands and kissed me. It wa
s a soft kiss, our wet lips touched smoothly. His tongue caressed my lower lip
making shiver. He knew how to drive me crazy. His hand went down my arm to my wa
ist. Oh... I remembered Alex's words. I stopped the kiss pushing his chest softl
y "We should go, it's late" Raidon looked at me surprise but he started driving
silently. I did it, it wasn't that difficult to control my hormones, I sounded l
ike a teenager maybe deep down inside my heart I was still one.
"Who is he, Alyssa?" he asked suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Don't play the fool, the guy from this afternoon"
"I don't have to give you any explanations" I stated secure. Alex was right, if
he wasn't taking me serious, neither would I. Raidon stopped the car abruptly as
ide the road. Not this again.
"What did you just say?" he asked angry.
"You perfectly heard me" I said folding my arms across my chest. Enough of my st
upid attitude, I wouldn't be the nave stripper anymore. He grabbed me by my chin
making me face him.
"Who is he?" the way he repeated his questions emanated danger. I slapped his ha
nd.
"That's not of your business"
"Don't play with me, Alyssa" He said seriously.
"Why? Is it because the only one allowed to play here it's you?"
"What are you talking about?" he asked confused.
"I'm not stupid, Raidon"
"I know you're not stupid. I wouldn't date a stupid girl" my heart almost stoppe
d right there. Did he just say 'date'? He must have seen the surprise on my face
"Do you think I'm playing with you?" He asked frowning. I didn't reply "You do,
don't you?"
"I... I wasn't sure of what this was..." I mumbled looking down.
"I guess, I can't blame you for thinking like that. You met me at a stripper clu
b and I had touched you like you were mine already, which could be considered di
srespectful because we're just getting to know each other" his words let me spee
chless, I didn't know what to say.
"I just... have been through a lot, I don't want to get hurt" the words came out
of my mouth honestly. Raidon sighed and grabbed me by chin.
"I feel a little bit childish by doing this but I get it's the only way you'll u
nderstand I'm not playing" He cleared his throat and continued "Would you be my
girlfriend, Alyssa?" my heart just skipped a beat. I didn't breath for a few sec
onds. That just got me out of guard, I didn't expect that. Raidon leaned to me u
ntil our foreheads were touching; his warm breath was mixing with mine "Well?" h
e whispered. I gave him a soft kiss as a reply "Mmm what a delicious 'yes'" I co
uldn't stop smiling at him as he got back to his place. He started driving again
and glanced at me often. I couldn't believe it.
He was my boyfriend. This gorgeous guy beside me was my boyfriend.
Was it a dream?
No, it wasn't. I was definitely awake.

$$$ The Stripper $$$$
Chapter 9
I was standing in front of my house's door; Raidon had just left there a few min
utes ago. I got inside quietly, trying not to make noise. I turned on the lights
and saw Alex sleeping on the couch. He looked so cute; the TV was still turned
on. I got the remote control and turned it off. It was hard to believe he was ac
tually there; I had missed him so much. I had missed his wistful words and advis
es, his bad jokes and stories. I went up stairs to look for a blanket for him. I
covered him so he wouldn't be cold that night; I smiled at his soft expression
and kissed his forehead. I went back upstairs to my room; I jumped to my bed whe
n I got inside my room. I was lying on my back looking at the roof when my cell
phone vibrated. It was a messaged from Raidon, it said "Hope you've understood I
'm not playing. Good night" I smiled at his words. I didn't know why I still did
n't feel secure of him, maybe it was because I was just getting to know him... o
r because I was afraid of my feelings for him. I really liked that boy, a lot. M
ore of what I had expected. I closed my eyes trying to push those thoughts away
so I could get some sleep. I failed a couple times but finally the tiredness to
ok over me.
An annoying tap on my forehead woke me up; I tried to open my eyes but failed. S
o I just turned around and buried my face in a pillow.
"Come on, Ally" Alex's voice said playfully "It's 8:00 am, Mom said you have cla
sses at 9:00 am today" I tried to ignore him with all my heart but I knew he was
right; I did had classes in an hour "Ally?" he asked shaking me "Come on, lazy
girl" he took my pillow away from me. I opened my eyes feeling the sunlight comi
ng in by the window on me. It was a really uncomfortable sensation.
"Could you please close the curtains?" I asked closing my eyes again.
"No way. Get up!" he pulled me by my arms making me sit down on the bed.
"My God, you're annoying" I stated rubbing my eyes.
"And you're lazy"
"I'm not lazy; I came home like four hours ago. I'm still tired, you know" I def
ended myself getting up.
"No excuses, to the shower, now" I gave him a killer look as I was walking to th
e bathroom. I shut the door behind me and went inside the shower. Cold water sta
rted falling on me, waking my still slept body. I washed my hair whispering a me
lody I loved from Mozart "Ally, you have a call" Alex screamed from the other si
de of the room. It could be Marissa since she was the one to give me a ride that
day to college.
"Answer, please" I replied finishing washing my hair. When I was done, I wrapped
a towel around my waist and left the bathroom. I found a smiling Alex sitting o
n my bed "What's so funny? Who was calling?" I asked opening my closet's door.
"Please, don't hate me" I turned around immediately after he finished his senten
ce.
"Who was it, Alex? What did you do?" I knew that playful tone, he used it when h
e had done something bad.
"It was... your guy"
"Raidon?"
"Oh, that's his name" I frowned "Yes, it was him. I told him you were in the sho
wer"
"What?! He may have misunderstood you" I said and saw a bright smile on Alex's l
ips "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"I just said the truth. You were in the shower"
"Did you tell him you are my brother?" I asked even when I knew the answer.
"He hung up, I didn't have the chance to tell him" he said with an innocent tone
.
"As I was going to believe that! I'm going to kill you" I said feeling a little
bit childish.
"Come on! It's not a big deal, you just have to tell him I'm your brother when y
ou see him and problem solved" I threw him a pillow.
"Why did you do that? You're so childish!" I exclaimed throwing him another pill
ow.
"Am I the childish one? Who's throwing pillows?" he stated protecting his face w
ith his hands.
"Touch" I replied as I raised my hand with the last pillow. The door was opened st
opping my action.
"What are you doing?" my mother asked confused. Well, I understood her. I had a
towel wrapped around my waist and a pillow on one hand ready to hit my brother.
Alex had his hands in front of him protecting himself. And two more pillows were
lying on the floor.
"She went crazy, mom" Alex said raising his hand beside him like an innocent boy
.
"He started it" I stated walking back to my closet.
"Aren't you two a little bit old to fight like this?" my mother said smiling at
us.
"He's the childish one, mom" I said getting some clothes from the closet.
"It's hard to believe that since I found you throwing pillows at him" she replie
d and Alex gave me a triumphal expression "We'll wait for you downstairs, breakf
ast is ready" my mother said pushing Alex out of the room with her. I couldn't b
elieve we had acted like that but I couldn't stop feeling nostalgic, Alex and I
had had those kinds of fights all the time.
When I was finally dressed, I got my purse and my cell phone, which reminded me
of Raidon. Oh my Lord... what could he be thinking about me? Maybe that Alex was
my lover or something. I mean, Alex had answered my cell phone at 8:00am and ha
d told him I was in the shower, it wasn't hard to guess the wrong way about it.
I went downstairs and walked right to the kitchen. My mother and Alex were sitti
ng in front of the table chatting and smiling. I sat down and started eating wit
hout talking.
"Are you still angry at me?" Alex asked softly. I ignored him and continued eati
ng. My mother just stared at us entertained "Won't you talk to me?" I finished e
ating and did the dishes. I heard Marissa's car.
"I have to go, bye mom" I said kissing her on the cheek.
"Bye, sweetie"
I walked out of the kitchen hearing footsteps behind me; I knew Alex was followi
ng me.
"Come on, Ally. It's not a big deal" I heard him say behind me. I turned to him
folding my arms across my chest "A tasted of jealousy it's always good for a man
" He explained like he had discovered the world "Besides, he'll know that if he
wants you just for him, he'll have to take you seriously"
"He asked me to be his girlfriend yesterday. And today he calls me and a man ans
wers the phone telling him I'm in the shower. Great move, brother. I have no wor
ds to thank you" Note the sarcasm.
"Oh" Alex exclaimed in realization. I just sighed and turned again to the door "
I'm sorry, Ally" I heard him before I went out of the house. Marissa was waving
her hand to me inside her car. I told her everything while we were on our way to
college. She told me not to worry about Raidon that I just had to explain him A
lex was my brother.
The morning was as usual at college, I had three classes. During the final class
, I was kind of sleepy because I hadn't slept well the night before. I rested my
chin on my hand watching the professor explaining something on the board. My ey
elids started to close by themselves; I blinked a couple times trying to keep th
em open, but failed.
"Miss Lambert!" I woke up scared "Are you enjoying your nap?"
"I'm sorry, professor. I was just..."
"Leave my classroom, now" he stated opening the door. Everyone inside the classr
oom stared at me and whispered things to each other. I was so embarrassed. I pic
ked up my things quickly and left as fast as I could. I walked through the corri
dor feeling completely irresponsible. It was the first time a professor had kick
ed me out of his class. I knew it had been absolutely disrespectful from me to s
leep during his class. I sighed walking to the parking lot; I knew Marissa was
still in class so I would have to wait for her. I looked around and then back to
my way. I was surprised to see Raidon leaning against the wall a few meters fro
m me; he had his hands inside his pockets. He turned his head in my direction, h
e looked damned sexy but he also had a deadly serious expression on his pale fac
e. I walked to him not knowing how to explain him about my brother.
"Hey" I greeted smiling. He suddenly wrapped his left hand around my waist pulli
ng me to him. His lips met mine softly making me feel nervous and a weird sensat
ion inside my stomach. He deepened the kiss softly sending shivers through me, b
ut I pushed him back. We were in a public place; I didn't like to be like those
girls that give a show in front of people. His hand was still around my waist, w
hich forced me to be extremely close to him. I could smell his smooth perfume.
"Why didn't you tell me you were seeing someone else?" the calmed tone he used t
o ask that surprised me.
"I'm no-"
"Don't lie to me" he said kissing my cheek. His actions were kind of confusing,
I was expecting an angry, screaming Raidon not a soft one.
"He's my brother" I said quickly before he could interrupt me again.
"Your brother?" he raised an eye brow "You haven't talked to me about him"
"We're getting to know each other. There are a lots of things we haven't talked
about"
"I guess you're right" he said removing his hand from my waist "You're free for
now" he twisted a smile.
"Why did you call me this morning?" I asked intrigued.
"I thought your car was at the workshop and you could need a ride"
"I see"
"Isn't a little bit early for you to be out of classes?" I didn't want to tell h
im about my incident with the professor.
"The professor had to leave" I lied starting to walk, Raidon followed me.
He took me home and that day our routine for the week began. He picked me at col
lege and then at club. We spent hours talking and teasing each other. He was a n
ice a guy, there was no doubt of that. I loved the way he smiled, he had the bri
ghtness smile I had never seen, and maybe I just liked everything about him.
I hadn't realized it was already Sunday; the week had passed so fast. Raidon was
taking me home after picking me up at college. Yes, I was doing an extra course
on Saturday's and Sunday's; I did them because I wanted to graduate as soon as
possible. It was almost dark; I had a long class that day. Raidon walked me unti
l I was beside my house's door.
"So, Good night" I said smiling.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I could feel h
is warm breath on my ear.
"Kiss me" He whispered sending shivers through my spine. Why did his voice have
to be so sexy? And why was I getting ready to kiss him?
"No" I replied playfully. His face was so close to mine that our noses were abou
t to touch. His eyes looked into mine and gave me a mischievous look.
"No?" He asked trying to sound hurt. His lips brushed my cheek, they were so sof
t. I smiled at him and kissed him on the lips just once "That's it? I need more"
he used some childish tone.
"No more kisses for you. You're dangerous"
"Or you're afraid you can't control yourself?" What a bigheaded.
"I can control myself" I stated secure. He bit my lower lip making arch to him.
"Really?" That place was getting hot. I tried to push him back but it didn't wor
k.
"I should go" I said trying to escape the situation. But Raidon didn't move, his
lips brushed mine seductively.
"Just one kiss, Alyssa" he whispered on my ear, the way he said my name made sto
p breathing for a second.
"Just one and-" he didn't let me finish and kissed me roughly. The kiss was dema
nding and possessive. His tongue searched for entrance playing with my lower lip
. I opened my mouth to him letting his tongue penetrate it several times. When h
e left my mouth to kiss my neck I was gasping. His wet lips brushed my skin in a
lustful way "Raidon..." I said trying to control myself. It just felt so good t
o be in his arms. To be kissed and touched by him, like I was made for him. His
tongue caressed my earlobe making me arch to him
"Stop..." I stated but didn't sound like I wanted to stop.
"You don't mean that" he sounded so secure. One of his hands started touching my
thighs in a slow caress.
"I said stop" he bit my neck and went back to my mouth getting me into a wet and
lustful kiss.
Control... Control... Where the hell was my control? Maybe it was swimming in my
wetness.
"She said stop" an angry voice said beside us. Raidon let go of me and turned as
ide.
"Alex" I said surprise and embarrassed. I couldn't stop blushing.
"You're the brother, huh?" Raidon asked licking his red wet lips.
"Yes, I'm her brother. I would like to have a man to man conversation with you"
Alex sounded so serious. Raidon grinned at him.
"This is not necessary. Let's go inside" I said grabbing Alex's forearm.
"You go inside, Alyssa. Our mother is waiting for you"
"I won't let you do this. I'm not a child" I was getting angry.
"Then stop acting like one"
"I won't move, Alex"
"Fine. Then I'll speak in front of you" Alex said indifferently.
"What do you have to say?" Raidon asked amused. Oh... This couldn't be good.
"I just want to make clear the fact that she's not alone. She's my sister and if
you're planning to have her as a lover or whatever I'll kick your ass. You can'
t handle her like a cheap whore"
"She's my girlfriend" Raidon replied loudly.
"Then treat her like one. Give her... her place, respect her, she may be naively
young but i wont let you play with her"
"I'm not playing with her" Raidon's face was without expression.
"You better not be, otherwise you'll have to face me"
"I'm not afraid of you" Raidon stepped forward.
"Is that so?" Alex took a step as well. I had to stop that. I got in the middle
of them.
"Enough. Alex you made your point and I believe Raidon got it. So, can we go ins
ide now, please?" Raidon and Alex shared killers' looks. I was so embarrassed. A
lex pushed me inside the house before I could even say goodbye to Raidon "What a
re you doing? I didn't even have the chance to say goodbye" I complained turning
around to face Alex.
"You have kissed each other like crazy teenagers, which count as a farewell to m
e" Alex walked to the couch and sat down on it turning on the TV.
"You need to stop treating me like a child! You have any idea how embarrassed I
was while you were addressing yourself like that to my boyfriend?"
"Oh now he's your boyfriend" his sarcasm was like fuel to my anger.
"Yes, he is. I'm controlling this situation; you should stay out of it. This is
my life" I was yelling at him now. Alex got up and looked at me.
"Control? Is that what you call control?!" He pointed outside. I knew he referre
d to the fact how he found me and Raidon "control my ass. If you can't draw a li
ne of respect to him, I will"
"It's not of your concern to draw that line"
"Of course it's not but since you're not doing it, I have to do it" I was really
angry by the moment.
"You don't have to do anything. Leave me alone!" I screamed angry.
"What's happening?" My mother's voice interrupted us.
"Nothing" Alex and I said at unison.
"Seriously?" We knew we couldn't lie to her.
"She's being stupidly naive, mom. I can't just watch that" Alex stated folding h
is arms around his chest.
"This is my life, I have the right to make my own choices" I protested. My mothe
r sighed as she went down stairs. She walked and sat down on the couch.
"Come here, both you" She demanded touching each side of the couch. Alex sat dow
n on her right and I on the left "I love you both. But don't you think you're ac
ting a little bit childish?" We nodded our heads.
"He's-" my mother interrupted me.
"Alyssa, Alex is just trying to protect you. You have understand that he's your
older brother, he just don't want you to be the toy of that boy" I sighed "And A
lex, I love the way you take care of your sister but you also have to get that s
he's a woman now. She's not a child, you have to trust her to do things right. S
he's intelligent and mature, so let her be" my mother could be so wise.
"Thanks mom" I kissed her forehead. Alex stayed in silence for a second. Then he
just stood up.
"I hope she can hold her panties on with that guy. I don't trust him" Alex said
making me flush.
"Alex" My mother complained.
"Fine. I'm sorry, I trust Alyssa to do the right thing" Alex spoke looking away.
My cell phone rang breaking the moment. It was my boss. Shit! I had forgotten a
bout the practice to the Saturday presentation.
"I have to go" I said getting up and running to get my things "Bye mom! Bye Alex
" I screamed getting outside. Oh! My car was at the workshop! Shit! I went insid
e the house again "My car is at the workshop!" I said panicked. My boss continue
d calling, he was going to kill me.
"I'll give you a ride. It's not a fancy car like yours but-" I gave Alex a kille
r look "Ok" he smiled. We got inside his car, which was parked a few meters of o
ur house. He drove silently as I gave him the address of the club. When we arriv
ed, he stopped the car and turned to me "Be careful, please"
"I will" I said getting out of the car. Two guards were at the door. They nodded
their head and open it for me. I went inside the bar part of the club and cross
ed it to get to the stripper part. Irony, Megan, Innocence, desire and other gir
ls were practicing some sexy dance on the stage.
"The queen has finally appeared" Megan stated and every one was staring at me no
w.
"Rose!" I heard my boss behind me "where the hell were you? The show is in two d
ays! Two days!"
"I know I'm sorry..."
"Don't be and start to work now!" I nodded my head and put my purse and jacket o
n a table.
"I thought he was going to kill you" Irony whispered to me smiling when our boss
was gone.
We practiced the long dance over and over again. It wasn't complicated, just a f
ew sexys moves and smiles. When we were done I walked to my dressing room to wai
t for my stripping show. I lay down on my couch and turned on a small TV. Irony
came in and sat down beside me.
"How are things going?" She asked resting her head on my lap.
"Good, I think"
"Are you sure?" She asked seriously.
"I don't know, Irony. I lose control around that guy, he's driving me crazy"
"Oh! But that's good, isn't it? It's been a while without you feeling that way"
She said smiling.
"I like him more of what I want to admit"
"You're admitting right now. Don't worry, Alyssa. What's meant to be it'll be"
"Since when you have become such a wise lady?" I asked playfully. She gave me a
little punch on the head.
"It's time!" Someone screamed walking through the corridor.
"Let's get ready" I said smiling down to Irony.
My cell phone rang when I was getting my make-up done. I saw Raidon's number.
"Hey" I answered resting my cell phone on my shoulder to press it to my ear.
"How's your night going?"
"Good. I'm about to perform my show" I replied applying a red lick stick on my l
ips.
"I'm outside" he said directly.
"What? What do you mean?"
"I'm outside the club"
"Why? I'm far from done" I was confused.
"I can't stop thinking about you getting naked in front of dozens of sadists men
"
"Oh" that was all what I got.
"Alyssa" Raidon said in a sad tone.
"Rose! It's time!" I heard my boss screaming at the other side of my door.
"I'm coming!" I replied quickly "Raidon I have to go"
"Alyssa-" I interrupted him.
"This is my job, I'm sorry" I hung up feeling tears welling up my eyes. I knew i
t wasn't easy to picture your girlfriend getting naked in front of others men. B
ut he had met me there, he knew what I did. I wasn't lying to him. I walked out
of my dressing room hearing men scream my name.
"Rose! Rose! Rose!" I took a deep breath as i was stepping on the stage.
'Show time' I said inside my mind.
I was in a nurse suit. I smiled at every man around the stage. The stripper pole
was decorated in white in combination with my outfit. I grabbed it and walked a
round it moving my ass.
"You're hot!" A man screamed so loud that I could hear him beyond the music. I k
nelt caressing my breasts slowly; my nipples could be seen through the white mat
erial. I unbuttoned the top part of my little dress. I released my boobs and pla
yed with them, men went crazy. I took up my dress letting them see my underwear.
I moved my hips at the sound of the music. I gave my back to them and touched t
he floor with my hands.
A few minutes later, I had received a lot of tips and bowed to the public. I le
ft the stage quickly, not knowing why I was so desperate to finish. I passed by
my dressing room, changed and grabbed my stuffs. A guard was waiting for me at t
he door. He walked me to the exit. As I expected Raidon was standing in front of
his car in the parking lot.
"Should I call you a taxi, miss?" The guard asked politely.
"No, thanks. I'm good" I replied walking to Raidon. We were facing each other no
w but he didn't say a thing "Hi" I greeted uncomfortable.
"Hi" he replied opening the car's door for me "Let's have some coffee" he invite
d when I was getting on the car. He got to his place and turned the engine on.
"A coffee? It's almost midnight" I said as he started driving.
"I know a place that works until 1:00 am" he replied coldly. Something was bothe
ring him I could see that.
"What's wrong?" I was afraid of asking.
"We need to talk" those words were like a poison to my stomach. I felt extremely
nervous. We stayed in silence as he was driving to the coffee place.
Raidon needed to talk...
About what?
That question was burning my brain.

&Chapter 11&
Conversation

I was extremely nervous. I began playing with my fingers; Raidon was driving wit
hout expression on his face. That silence between us was killing me. The tone he
had used to tell me that we needed to talk scared me a lot. I took a deep breat
h to relax, I needed to relax. It was just a talk, we were both grown-ups, we co
uld perfectly talk; it didn't have to be something bad, right? Ah! Who I was foo
ling? The "we need to talk" statement was the warning to know there was somethin
g wrong. I stopped playing with my fingers when Raidon parked the car.
"We're here" he said softly.
We got out of the car and walked to the coffee's entry. The local was in the ope
n air, it had a beautiful garden surrounding it. It was pretty nice.
"Good evening, sir. How are you tonight?" a young woman asked smiling politely.
"I'm good, Sasha. A table for two, please"
"Follow me, please" she leaded us through tables to the end, where a lonely tabl
e for two was "Would you like to order now?"
"Yes, the usual thing" Raidon replied bored. He seemed to go a lot to that place
.
"And you, Miss?" the lady asked me.
"A regular coffee" I replied smiling at her.
The lady left and the silence dominated us again. What an uncomfortable silence!
Raidon cleared his throat. The moment had come. I swallowed hard.
"Well" he said but didn't continue.
"Yes?" I needed him to continue. I was dying there.
"I don't know how to start"
"Just say it"
"I-"
"Excuse me, here's your order" the lady interrupted him.
"Thank you" Raidon and I replied at the same time. She placed the coffees on the
table and left. I drank a sip of my coffee.
"So?" why did I sound so desperate?
"Ok. I'll just say it" Raidon stated finally "I know we've been dating just for
a couple of weeks, but I really like you, Alyssa. You have no idea of the things
you cause in me. I had never felt this way before" Ok. I didn't expect that at
all "I had met lots of women but never someone like you, and all this It's kind
of new for me..." he let of a sigh "And I feel this incredible need to keep you
just for myself, I don't want to share you"
"You're not sharing me" I cleared that out.
"I feel like I am. I just have to image you stripping in front of dozens of men
and I get crazily angry" I knew where this was going "It's driving me crazy" he
finished a little bit upset.
"I understand. I guess, it's normal to be jealous but that's my job. You met me
as a stripper and that's what I am. What do you want me to do? To quit my job? I
'm sorry, I can't do that"
"Then your feelings for me are not as strong as I thought they would be" his wor
ds surprised me.
"This is not about feelings, Raidon. I really like you, too. But you can't make
choices for me; I'm an adult independent woman. I have my reasons for doing what
I do"
"Which are?" he asked seriously. Ok, I didn't answer. Was I ready to tell him th
e truth? It didn't matter, because he needed to know otherwise he would think I
was doing it for ambition or pleasure.
"I... well..." Raidon raised an eye-brow "My mother has Cancer" I said finally "
She was diagnosed with Cancer two years ago and I became a stripper to pay her e
xpensive treatments" Raidon was shock. I could definitely see that "But she's do
ing well, the cancer is almost gone" I needed to say that.
"Oh" he exclaimed embarrassed "I'm so sorry, Alyssa"
"Don't be, she's fine. So, now you know my reason for doing what I do. I hope to
graduate from college in a couple of months and find another job"
"I see"
Another long moment of silence passed between us.
I looked down trying to think of something to say; but I got nothing.
"I'll pay your mother's treatment" Raidon said seriously. His dark eyes revealed
how serious he was. I knew he would say something like that.
"I appreciate it but no"
"Why not? I can help you"
"I said no"
"Why not?" he repeated his question.
"Because I would feel like a whore" I stated honestly "I would feel like you're
paying for me or something. I don't want your money, Raidon. I'm sorry but I don
't. You're my boyfriend and I appreciate the help but I can't do it. It wouldn't
feel right"
"Please, Alyssa. Just promise me you will consider it"
"I can't promise that"
"Please" he begged softly.
"Ok. I'll think about it" I stated finally.
After a few minutes we left the coffee. We walked to the parking lot and got ins
ide the car. Raidon started the engine and then drove to my house. I turned the
radio and found a song I loved: Broken like an angel by Crossfade. I loved class
ical music but I loved variety as well.
"I love this song" I pointed the radio. Raidon gave me a little look surprised "
Sheeee wants to fall in loveee again" I singed loudly.
"Really? I used to love it"
"Used?" I had to ask.
"It's my ex-girlfriend's favorite song" oh! I turned the radio off. Because of t
he way he said it, it sounded like things between him and his ex didn't end up w
ell.
I needed to change the subject.
"So, how was work today?"
"It was good. Boring as usual but I guess I had to deal with that. A kiss can co
mfort this hardworking man" he used a begging tone. I smiled at him and kissed h
im on the cheek "Come on!" he complained slowing down and stopping in front of m
y house. I grabbed his face with both hands and kissed him. I sucked his lower l
ip playfully "Ah! Don't do that! Don't play with fire" he whispered on my lips.
He got his tongue inside my mouth deepening the kiss. Our lips felt like they we
re meant for each other. They matched perfectly.
"Why do you have to be such a good kisser?" I asked and kissed him again. We kis
sed for a few more minutes but suddenly he was the one to stop "I'm surprise. Yo
u stopped by yourself"
"I respect my girlfriend" he said smiling. I smiled back.
"Good" I said getting out of the car.
He walked with me to the door.
"Alyssa" he called me making me stop.
"Huh?"
"Are you free tomorrow's afternoon?"
"Yes, why?" I asked curios.
"Be ready after lunch. I'll come for you"
"Where are we going?" I had to ask but Raidon kissed me on the forehead and turn
ed around to walk to his car "Hey!" I called him.
"It's a surprise"
"No more surprises, please" but he was already inside his car. I sighed in resig
nation and got inside the house. I went up-stairs and stepped inside my room. My
cell phone vibrated, it was a message from Raidon, I paralyzed when I read it:
From: Raidon
"Tomorrow, you'll meet... my family"

Chapter 11
Confused
"Wake up!" I heard Alex's voice talking to me but it seemed to be really far awa
y. I felt like I'd been sleeping too much. I didn't want to open my eyes "Come o
n, Ally!" I grabbed a pillow and covered my head with it. After a few seconds th
e pillow was removed from me "Your boy is waiting for you" what?! I immediately
sat down on the bed opening my eyes.
"What?!"
"He's downstairs" Alex said pointing the door.
"What are you talking about? What time is it?" I looked around trying to find my
cell phone.
"2:10 pm, darling" Alex replied playfully.
"What?!" it couldn't be that late.
"Yes, you missed college. I was going to wake you up but mom said you needed to
rest"
"Oh no!" I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. I was going to meet Raidon
's family that afternoon and I didn't have enough time to get ready "How could I
sleep for so long?" I asked myself getting undressed and then stepped quickly i
n the shower. I took the fastest shower I had ever taken in my whole life. I wra
pped a towel around me and ran to the closet.
"What's the rush?" Alex asked biting an apple he had in one of his hands.
"I'm meeting Raidon's family today" I said putting my panties on and then my bra
. I wasn't uncomfortable about being naked in front of Alex; he was my brother b
esides I was a stripper nudity was something I was used to. I put a skirt on and
a white elegant shirt.
"A skirt?" Alex asked raising an eyebrow "Great choice to meet your boy's parent
s"
"You're right" I changed the skirt for some pants and got my feet inside a pair
of fancy white hills. I combed my hair quickly and got some light make-up on me
"Ready" I stated walking to the door. Suddenly, Alex grabbed me by my arm making
me turn to him.
"Breathe, sis" I took a deep breath.
"What if they don't like me?" I asked sadly.
"They'll love you. You're beautiful and smart"
"And a stripper" I reminded him "A stripper is not the kind of girl parents woul
d want their successful son to be with"
"You're going to be fine, Ally. Just be yourself" he kissed me on the cheek and
I smiled at him.
"Thank you, bro" I screamed running out of the room. I was going downstairs when
I saw Raidon waiting for me in the living room. He had a nice black suit, I fel
t like he was my prince, waiting for me right there. Her dark gaze met mine and
he gave me that twisted smile I liked so much.
"Hi" I greeted kissing him on the cheek.
"You overslept today, lazy girl"
"I'm sorry. I don't know what happened to me" I apologized looking away embarras
sed.
"Let's go. It's late and my parents are not really patients" he smiled at me and
grabbed my hand.
We talked during the long way to his parents' house. It was in the outskirts of
the city. His father called him once asking where he was and Raidon excused hims
elf saying he had had too much work that day. I was extremely nervous, I was sur
e they were very wealthy people.
We finally arrived to a gorgeous mansion. It had the perfect size; it wasn't too
big or too small. Trees were surrounding it and fountains were in the frontal g
arden. Raidon parked and invited me to get out of the car but I couldn't move fo
r a few seconds 'Just breathe' I said inside my mind. I finally got out of the c
ar and stepped in front of the two-store mansion. An Asian servant came walking
to us.
"Good afternoon, sir" she said smiling at him. She cared about him that was for
sure. Maybe she had been his nanny or something like that "We had missed you aro
und here" her eyes were wet. She had really missed him.
"Where are my parents?" Raidon asked indifferently. It bothered me to see him tr
eat her so cold when she seemed to be really emotional about meeting him again.
"They are inside, sir" she said looking away sadly. Raidon grabbed my hand and l
ead me inside the house.
"Why are you so cold to her?" I asked confused.
"She's just a servant"
"She cares about you" I said honestly.
"You don't know that"
"Yes, I do. It's obvious" I fought back but the door was opened and I shut my mo
uth. An elegant tall woman smiled at us.
"Hello" she greeted. She wasn't beautiful but she wasn't ugly either. She was an
average woman "You must be, Alyssa" I nodded my head and extended my hand to he
r "My name is Eva" a man came from behind her "And this is my husband Raiko Kawa
saki"
"Oh like the motorcycle's name" I joked smiling.
"I'm glad you know one of my companies' products" he replied leaving me breathle
ss. They seemed to notice my surprise.
"Let's go inside" Raidon broke the uncomfortable silence. We walked until we wer
e in a modern living room.
"Please, have a sit, darling" Eva offered kindly. They didn't seem to be so bad.
We all sat down in silence, Raidon was right beside me. Thanks God "Would you l
ike some coffee or juice?"
"Juice would be fine" I remembered I hadn't eaten a thing at home. Eva stood up
and walked to what I guessed was the kitchen.
"So, Alyssa. What do you do?" Raiko asked making swallow hard.
"I study, sir. I'll be a lawyer in a couple months" I replied looking away. I wo
ndered how Raidon's father was Asian and Raidon didn't have any oriental charact
eristic. Besides, Raidon didn't tell me his last name was Kawasaki, that time in
the restaurant we had gone to, the waiter called him "Monsieur Rosseau"
"She's a smart girl" Raidon's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
"I'm back" Eva said smiling and offering the glass of juice to me.
"Thank you" I said politely.
I was surprise to see that Raidon's parents were absolutely nice even when they
had a lot of money because that was obvious. The next hour we spent it talking a
bout random things. Of course I never mentioned I was a stripper.
I was starving; my stomach was beginning to make those embarrassing noises we al
l try to hide desperately.
"Are you hungry, sweetie?" Eva asked the obvious. I was so embarrassed "I'll coo
k something for you" she said standing up.
The phone rang and Mister Kawasaki went to answer it. Raidon grabbed my hand and
squeezed it to get my attention.
"Are you ok?" he asked concerned.
"Yes, they are nice" I replied honestly.
"Raidon! Come here a second, please" her mother screamed from the kitchen.
"I'll be right back. Feel free to check the house out" he said kissing me on the
cheek.
I stood up observing some pictures on the wall, my God. There were so many. I fo
llowed the pictures through a lonely corridor. There was a big picture of Beetho
ven; I could beg it was Raidon the one who bought it. I was entertained observin
g the Beethoven when I felt a warm breath on the back of my neck.
"Ah!" I immediately turned around scared. My back hit the wall. There was a hand
some boy in his twenties a few inches of me. He was taller than me. He had hazel
s eyes and dirty blonde hair fell down his forehead. He was wearing a blue shirt
. And I realized he was smirking.
"Scared? I'm used to cause that reaction" he had strong mysterious tone "Who are
you? And what are you doing here?"
"I... I..." he was intimidating me. He passed his arms beside my face and put th
em against the wall.
"Nervous?" he teased getting closer to me.
"I'm Raidon's girlfriend" I stated finally. This guy was not going to intimidate
me.
"Really?" he asked and I swear I could feel his breath mixing with mine. I pushe
d him back but he just grabbed my wrists and put them against the wall.
"Let go of me" I demanded nervously.
"Why?"
"Because" I replied bothered. Who the hell did he think he was? He inhaled closi
ng his eyes.
"You smell good, miss Raidon's girlfriend"
"Let me go!" I demanded angry but my pulse was rising. I did not know why but th
e way he had me was making feel weird and vulnerable. My chest went up and down
at my fast breathing's rhythm; he looked at my breasts shamelessly. He leaned to
me and whispered on my ear.
"You're going to be mine" his warm breath sent shivers through me. Suddenly, he
let go of me. It took me a few seconds to react.
"You're crazy" I said. But the bastard was smiling like he was absolutely sure o
f what he had just said. I looked away bothered. I hated him.
"Alyssa" Raidon's voice snapped me out of the moment. I looked around and found
the corridor empty. Where did the boy go? "Let's go to the dining room, my mothe
r cooked for you"
"I..." it hadn't been my imagination.
We walked back to the living room. It smelled delicious.
"You shouldn't have bothered, Mrs. Kawasaki"
"Call me Eva, please"
I sat down on one of the wooden chairs.
"Good afternoon" that voice... I looked up to find the boy from the corridor. I
almost choked with my food.
"Oh, Kai. I'm glad you decided to join us" Eva said enthusiastic "This is Alyssa
, Raidon's girlfriend" she introduced me to him and I couldn't say a word "Alyss
a, this is Kaito but we usually call him Kai. He's my nephew"
"Nice to meet you, Kai" I said giving him a killer look. He smirked.
"Nice to meet you, Alyssa" I swallowed. There was a minute of silence among all
the presents.
"What are you doing tomorrow's night, Alyssa?" Eva asked breaking the silence. I
was so distracted that I was not careful with my answer.
"I'm going to be working..." Damned!
"I thought you were only studying" Mr. Kawasaki said immediately.
"I'm going to be working in a case; you know we practice with real cases sometim
es" I saved my ass.
"Oh, that's too bad" Eva said sadly.
"Why?"
"We're having a party to celebrate Kaito's graduation" she said proudly. Thanks
God, I wasn't going to that party.
We spent the rest of the afternoon sharing stories and talking. Kaito looked at
me intensively every time he could; it had me on my nerves.
When the night arrived, I said goodbye to everyone. It was a cold night so Raido
n went upstairs to look for a coat for me. I stepped outside the house to wait f
or him.
"Bu" that voice... said behind me: Kaito. I turned around and stepped back.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked honestly. He wrapped his arms around my waist a
nd pulled me to him. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and let me go.
"Remember what I told you, Alyssa" he said stepping inside the house. He was cra
zy but why was I feeling a tingling sensation on the place he had kissed me? Tha
t couldn't be good. Raidon walked out of the house and we got inside the car. I
had to tell him, right?
I was quite on our way to my house.
"What's wrong, Ally?" I felt so guilty for not telling him. I had to tell him.
"I..."
"Didn't you like my family? Because they loved you. I couldn't believe Kaito act
ually joined us. He's like my brother, you know. He was the only one to play wit
h me in that lonely mansion when I was a child"
"I see" maybe Kaito would leave me alone. I couldn't tell Raidon that the person
he loved as a brother was trying to steal his girlfriend. Maybe Kaito was just
playing around.
Should I tell him?
Maybe, maybe not.
I was so confused.
Confused....
Kaito confused me.
Who was I fooling?
I felt some attraction towards Kaito... but nothing similar in the way I felt ab
out Raidon. Raidon drove me crazy but Kaito had something that intrigued me...
I shut those thoughts.
'Focus, Alyssa'
Kaito was not going to get between Raidon and me. I was going to make sure of th
at. If Kaito continued bothering me I would menace him with telling Raidon about
his actions. That was it. That was what I was going to do.
"I was wondering..." Raidon's voice made shut my thoughts "Can you miss work tom
orrow? It would mean the world to me if you could attend to Kaito's party"
"I'm sorry, I don't think I can" I excused myself.
Raidon leaned to me and kissed me softly. I loved his lips.
"Please, do it for me"
"I'll try" I couldn't deny a thing to that man.
"Ok" he stated kissing me again. This time I submerged myself in the sweet taste
of his tender lips.
But I knew the future was holding more surprises for us. Especially if I attende
d to Kaito's party the next day.

Sorry for the long wait... I'm doing my best to upload as soon as I can. But sin

$$The stripper$$
&Chapter 12&
After Raidon left me at my house, I jumped to my bed and I closed my eyes thinki
ng about the whole situation. I had some questions for Raidon... but I would ask
him the next time we see each other. I was falling asleep...
My cell phone vibrated on my pocket waking me up. i answered without even lookin
g at the screen.
"Hello?"
"Where the hell are you, Rose?" my boss' angry voice scared me.
"Oh..." I had completely forgotten about my job that night.
"Come here immediately!" he screamed angry.
"I'm on my way" I stated hanging up. Damn! How could I forget about my job?? I p
icked up my things quickly and ran out of the house... thanks God I had my car b
ack.
I drove fast to the club cursing at the traffic.
I arrived to the club, and passed the principal guard.
"Good evening, rose"
"Good evening, Louis" I stated walking to my dressing room. i found Irony inside
.
"Thanks God you're here!" she said in relief "our boss is about to kill himself.
.." She couldn't end her sentence.
"ROSE!!!" oh-oh "We need to talk now!" oh my boss was really angry.
"Ok" I replied nervous. Irony left us alone.
"I've been nothing but kind to you, and I've been very patient but you can't kee
p acting like this. You work for me... you can't come late anytime you want" he
was right at some point.
"I know I'm sorry"
"Don't make me fire you, you're a good girl" and with that he was gone. Phew! Th
at was close.
I performed my show as usual; men went crazy every time i moved up and down my a
ss. They were very easy to entertain. When I was done, i got to my dressing room
. Irony followed me.
"We need to talk, naughty girl"
"About what?" I asked confused.
"You and mister hot"
"his name is Raidon" I said smiling because i missed him already.
"How are things going between you two?"
"Very good, that guy drives me crazy"
"Have you slept together?"
"No, for God sakes! We're getting to know each other"
"Do you think he's the one? You know, like the one who can be your first time?"
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it" yeah right, I wasn't a good liar.
"Oh come on! Don't lie to me. He really turns you on, doesn't he?"
"ok, I admit it. I want him badly but sex won't happen until I'm sure of knowing
him well"
"I agree with you" I smiled at her. Irony and I could be so different yet so sim
ilar.
"I should go home" i said kissing her on the cheek.
"Take care of yourself, young lady"
"I will"
I drove home extremely exhausted. Thanks god I didn't have classes the next day.
When I finally got to my house, i fell on my bed and slept like a baby.
Something was vibrating...
I didn't want to open my eyes...
but it kept vibrating...
I got my cell phone and answered still slept.
"Are you still sleeping?" Raidon's voice woke me up completely. i sat down on th
e bed realizing it was the morning already.
"no, I wasn't sleeping"
"Right" his tone showed he didn't believe me "How are you, ally?"
"I'm good and you?"
"Well, I'm very excited about tonight's party" oh right, Kaito's graduation part
y.
"Too bad I can't go" liar, I didn't want to go.
"You are actually coming with me" he sounded triumphal.
"What? I have to work tonight"
"No, you don't. I made some arrangements, you're free tonight" I knew what he me
ant by "arrangements" he had paid someone "You have no excuse, milady" he used t
hat playful tone I loved "This is a special day for me and my family. I want you
there" how could I say no to that man?
"Alright, mister perseverance" he laughed.
"I'll pick you at seven. It's a formal party"
"Ok, see u later" i hung up knowing that wouldn't be a easy day for me.
6:56 pm.
I was ready. I had chosen a beautiful blue dress that fell until my knees. My br
easts looked provocative. i used a white necklace and earrings to make my skin l
ook inviting. I combed my brown hair back and left it loose.
"Ally" Alex's voice said at my door.
"Come in!"
He stepped inside surprise. My mother appeared behind him.
"Wow! Where are you going, sis? You look stunning" she stated surprise.
"Thank you. I'm going to a formal party at Raidon's house"
"You see? The family must have loved you to invite you. Who was right?" Alex ask
ed smiling.
"You" I stated for his ego. I remembered about Kaito "Bro, there's something I n
eed your advice..." my cell phone rang. It was Raidon "I have to go"

"Ok good luck" Alex said.
"Have a great night, sweetie" my mother stated kissing my forehead.
I walked out of the house, and saw Raidon's car parking in front of me.
I got inside it and turned my body to the driver... my boyfriend... he looked ab
solutely beautiful. He was wearing a dark suite which made his skin look paler b
ut smooth. His hair was combed back which gave him an elegant breath taking look
, his lips were so red. i jumped to him and kissed him desperately.
"You look great" I whispered on his lips. He kissed me back wrapping his arms ar
ound my waist. He left my lips to go down and kissed my neck while his hands tra
iled down my back...
a cell phone rang... we separated breathing fast. Raidon answered his phone.
"We are on our way" he just said that and hung up. His dark eyes met mine and I
saw pure desire on them. He kissed me again and I let myself fall on his lustful
caresses. He slipped his hand under my dress caressing my thighs... while his t
ongue was playing inside my mouth.
"I want you" he whispered on my lips and went down to my neck biting softly. It
felt so good.
Another cell phone rang... it was mine.
"What?" I answered bothered.
"Stop handling your boyfriend in front of our house" Alex's voice demanded and I
felt so embarrassed. I didn't reply. I just hung up.
"Let's go"
"Who was it?" Raidon asked starting the engine.
"Alex, he saw everything" i was completely blushed.
"Oh"
Raidon drove carefully to his house but the sexual tension between us after thos
e kisses was really strong.
We arrived at Kawasaki's home. The mansion was really illuminated and there were
people parking and getting out of theirs fancy's cars.
Raidon offered his hand to help step out of the car. I smiled at him. I couldn't
believe he was my boyfriend, he was so gorgeous.
We passed through bodyguards and got inside the house. Eva, Raidon's mom, was re
ceiving the guests.
"Alyssa, I'm so glad you could make it" she was wearing a purple dress.
"It's a pleasure for me to be here" I smiled at her.
"You're beautiful, dear" she was honest.
"Thanks"
"Enjoy the party" she wished as we started our way to the big saloon.
There were lots of elegant and powerful men and woman there, you could tell for
the way they spoke and were dressed. A soft melody was being played, there were
a few couples dancing.
I saw Kaito coming to us. He was wearing a dark blue suit; I couldn't deny he lo
oked hot.
"Hello" his strong voice greeted "My dear cousin" he embraced Raidon and then st
ood right in front of me "Alyssa" he kissed me on the cheek.
"Congratulations" I stated looking away.
"Thank you" he smirked "May I have this dance with you?" he asked shamelessly. I
looked at Raidon "Of course if my cousin doesn't have a problem with that" Raid
on smiled.
"Of course not. I trust you" Raidon stated honestly. I really didn't want to dan
ce with Kaito but I had no choice.
He grabbed my hand and we walked to the elegant dance floor. we passed through c
ouples until the middle of the dancing people.
He wrapped his hands around my waist and I did it around his neck. he smelled re
ally good, I was extremely nervous, I didn't want to be so near of him.
"You're gorgeous tonight" he whispered on my ear. He kissed my earlobe softly. W
hat a shameless boy!
"Stop it" I menaced as I felt how he pulled me closer to him. We were in the mid
dle of the dance floor, dozens of couples covered us.
"No" I felt his tongue caressing my neck making me shiver. My breasts were again
st his chest because he had me really close to him.
"Stop this or ill tell Raidon" I menaced him seriously.
"Oh really?" he asked kissing my cheek.
"Stop it, I'm serious. I'll tell him" I felt his hands caressing my back.
"Oh I feel so threatened, Rose" I completely froze... that was my... stripper na
me. I couldn't move "What's wrong rose?" I couldn't utter a word. He knew.... ab
out my job. What if he told Raidon's parents. His eyes met mine.
I was seriously in troubles now.

$The Stripper$
Chapter 13
& Words &
I was dancing with Kaito but my body was moving automatically because i was stun
ned; i didn't know what to say or do.
"Surprise?" he asked and his grab round my waist got tighter "Don't worry, I won
't tell your little secret" he used his arrogant tone.
The song ended and i quickly turned around to get out of the dancing floor but K
aito grabbed me by by arm.
"Wait, Alyssa" I slapped his hand.
"Don't touch me" Kaito extended his hand in the air in a sign of peace.
"I won't tell your secret" I ignored him and started walking away. But he follow
ed me
"Leave me alone" i tried to walk faster than him.
"Just listen to me" He got on my way. I looked into his eyes.
"What do you want, Kaito?" I was upset.
"You" i rolled my eyes and tried to pass beside him "But wait, I've been thinkin
g and you're right, you're my cousin's girlfriend and he's happy with you. I'll
back off" his explanation caught me out of guard.
"Are you serious?" I had to ask.
"Yes, i just want to be your friend if that's ok with you"
I was speechless.
Did he want to be my friend?
For real?
"I thought you were going to..." i began confused.
"Blackmail you? No, I would never do that" he sounded sincere but i didn't know
what to say.
"I don't know what to say"
I saw Raidon coming to us.
"Is everything ok?" he asked frowning.
"Yes" I replied smiling at him. I couldn't stop looking at his red lips, Raidon
was so hot.
"I leave you two alone, you should dance with your girl, cousin" Kaito stated sm
iling at us and then Left. I sighed in relief because i was glad Kaito wasn't go
ing to bother me anymore.
I realized Raidon was staring at me.
I looked down nervously, I would never get used to Raidon's intense gaze.
"May i have this dance with you?" he asked sweetly. I just nodded my head and fo
llowed him to the dance floor.
I felt butterflies in my stomach when Raidon wrapped his arms around my waist. W
e were so close. He smelled really nice.
We started dancing slowly.
I Could feel his warm breath on my ear and neck, it tickled me.
"You're not a good lair, Ally" he whispered on my ear sending shivers through me
.
"What?"
"There was something happening between you and Kaito, i saw how you left the dan
ce floor, how he grabbed your arm to stop you so don't lie to me" i was shocked,
Raidon was very observant. I needed to think of something to say.
"I..."
"You lied to me and you'll be punished"
What?
"Punished?" he stopped dancing and held my hand. We walked out of the dance floo
r and then we went through a lonely corridor "Raidon?" i asked confused "Where a
re we going?" i tried to release my hand but he grabbed me tighter.
Suddenly, he put me against the wall and kissed me desperately. I refused at th
e beginning but i finally gave up. His tongue placed inside my mouth making me f
eel needed. Our lips touched softly and matched perfectly. He slipped his hand u
nder my dress to caress my thighs.
"Raidon..." i complained on his lips, he buried his face on my neck and i felt h
is warm tongue licking it. He was driving me crazy. His hand went further and to
uched my ass shamelessly "Raidon.." his free hand grabbed one of my breasts and
squeezed it softly.
I let go a little moan.
He made me turn around, my face was now against the wall... i felt his hard manh
ood on my ass while his hands were touching my breasts without control.
"I want you" he whispered on my ear. His sexy voice made me shiver. He got his h
ands inside my bra and squeezed my nipples making arch back.
I turned to face him again and kissed him desperately.
"Oh... Raidon" he began rubbing his manhood against my V spot... back and forwar
d...
Back and forward. I felt a tremendous pressure inside me. We kept kissing and ru
bbing each other crazily, i needed him.
I felt the orgasm sensation running through my blood. My whole body was about to
explode...
"Raidon!" i screamed and moaned at the same time as the pleasure was getting in
every part of my body. We stopped but we were both breathing heavily.
Raidon kissed my forehead.
"I love you" He said and i stopped breathing...
I stopped thinking...
I stopped moving...
"What?" i asked shocked. He grabbed my face with both hands and looked right int
o my eyes.
"I love you, Alyssa" he repeated seriously. I was speechless, i didn't know how
to say...
"Oh" that was all i could say.
"Oh?" Raidon frowned "Don't you love me back?"
"Raidon..."
"You don't, do you?" he sounded disappointed.
"I... just..." he caught me out of guard, i really liked him. I was crazy about
him but i didn't expect him to say that so soon... i didn't even know if i loved
him already.
"Don't say anything" he stated and gave his back to me.
"Raidon..."
He started walking away.
"Raidon, wait. Please!" but he ignored and disappeared in the long corridor. Oh
great! I just fucked everything up! "Fuck!" i said to the air.
I walked down the corridor to get back to the salon. When i saw the crown i trie
d to spot Raidon but i didn't see him.
"He's waiting for you outside" Kaito's voice said behind me.
"What do you mean?" and then i got it "Oh we're leaving, aren't we?"
"I guess so. I just saw him leaning against his car a few minutes ago; why are y
ou leaving so early? Are you guys fighting?" i wasn't in the mood for Kaito's qu
estions.
"I have to go, Kaito. It was a great party, thanks for the invitation" he leaned
to me and kissed me on the cheek.
"You're welcome" he said softly.
I walked faster to the principal door.
I stepped outside and saw Raidon there. He opened the car's door for me.
"I'll take you home"
"Raidon... I..."
"Get in the car" he sounded so cold. I did as he said.
In the way home, i didn't know how to start our conversation but i was sure as h
ell i needed to say something to fix things but i wasn't sure of what to say.
Without knowing it, we arrived to my house. Raidon didn't park, he just stopped
the car in the street.
"Raidon, we need to talk"
"Not now, Alyssa"
"I'm sorry... I..."
"Good night, Alyssa" maybe he was right we didn't need to talk at that moment, m
aybe the next day when we both were calmed.
"Good night, Raidon" i got out of the car.
I saw him leave and i felt a pain on my chest. I didn't want to lose him, i was
really attached to him...
I walked slowly inside my house, Alex was watching Tv.
"Hey, why are you back so early?" i looked down sadly "Ally?" he stood up and wa
lked to me "Are you ok?"
I just nodded my head. Alex grabbed my chin to make me face him.
"What happened?"
"I'm such a stupid, Bro"
"Why?"
"Raidon said he loved me and i panicked"
"What? He said what?"
"We were so good, and i had to fuck things up" i stated sadly.
"Hey, Ally. It's ok, it's not your fault, that's a very common reaction"
"Raidon expected me to say "I love you, too" and i just couldn't, i was in shock
... i wasn't moving... I'm so stupid!"
"You're not stupid, stop saying that. He has to understand that you weren't expe
cting him to say that. It caught you out of guard"
"Any girl would have been happy to hear that phrase and i just panicked"
"You're not any girl. You're my sister, Ally"
"I feel so bad, Alex"
"Don't. He can't be mad at you because of that"
"That is the worst part, Alex. He wasn't mad at me, he was disappointed. I could
see it right through his eyes"
Alex and I stayed in silence.
"Do you love him, Ally? You can be honest with me"
I knew i could be honest with him.
And i also knew the answer of that question.

$The Stripper$
/Chapter 14/
Alex remained in silence waiting for my answer. I sighed before letting those wo
rds leave my mouth.
"I do, I love him" I said sitting on the couch.
"Really?" Alex asked staring at me.
"I guess so" I replied looking away.
"Why do you say it like that? Isn't that a good thing? I mean, he loves you and
you love him. If i were you, I would be calling him right now to tell him"
"I..." I stopped not knowing what to say or how to say it.
"What's wrong, Ally? you can tell me" Alex sat down beside me.
"I just... I guess I wasn't expecting all this love thing"
"Well, nobody decides to fall in love, it just happens"
"That's the thing. It's hard for me to believe in love, Alex. When I was a child
, my father left my mom all by herself and now I work in a place where everythin
g is about lust and pleasure. theres no love or feelings. I'm just..." I looked
down.
"Hey, hey" Alex held my chin up "What you feel here" he pointed to my chest "Tha
t's love, Ally. And you may not be able to touch it or see it but you can feel i
t"
"What if i screw things up with Raidon? This is new for me"
"Listen to me very carefully" I looked into Alex's eyes "You just need to follow
your heart, Ally. When it comes to love, you just follow your heart"
"You speak like an expert, bro" I stated smiling "Have you..."
"Been in love?" Alex finished my sentence "Let's just say, I'm better giving adv
ises than practicing them"
We both smiled at each other.
"You should rest, Ally. Tomorrow will be a new day" I nodded my head and then em
braced him.
"Thanks, big bro. I don't know what I would do without you" Alex kissed my foreh
ead.
"Have sweet dreams" he wished and I started my way to the stairs.
"Alex" I called him. he turned his head to my way "I'm sure you'll find your gir
l soon. You're a great man" Alex smiled at me nodding his head.
I went upstairs and walked straight to my room. Once I was inside I let my body
fall on the bed.
I landed on my back and observed the ceiling.
I couldn't believe I was in love with Raidon, it seemed too soon for us to be in
love but God, I had this tremendous feeling for him. Every time he talked to me
or looked at me, I felt my heart beats increasing. And the attraction between u
s, I had never liked someone as much as I liked Raidon. I like everything about
him: the way he moved and spoke.
I sighed...
What was I going to do next? Call him?
But what would I say?
"Hey Raidon, I've been thinking and it turns out that I love you too, I know it'
s a little bit late to tell you that but... arrg" I stopped putting and pillow o
n my face. I couldn't tell him that.
A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.
"Come in" I stated sitting.
"Honey, you're awake?"
"Yes, mom" my mother was wearing her favorite pajama, it had a rainbow on the fr
ont.
"Hi mom" I greeted smiling at her. She looked like a child with that pajama.
"Hey sweetie" she said sitting down beside me "How was your night?"
"It was fun, I guess"
"You don't sound so sure about that"
I sighed.
"Let's just say it was a night full of surprises" I stated laying down.
"What happened?" my mother asked. I yawned, i was really tired.
"Long story, mom"
"Will you tell me tomorrow?"
"Sure" I replied closing my eyes, tiredness taking over me.
"Ok. Sleep well, dear" she kissed my forehead as I was entering the city of drea
ms.
Bip...
Bip...
something was vibrating, but I didn't want to open my eyes.
Biiip...
Biiip...
I extended my hand around the sheets to find my cell phone. I grabbed and opened
my eyes slowly. The screen's light bothered me.
There were two messages in the inbox. I read them quickly.
Message 1
Time : 9:02 am
From: Raidon
We need to talk.
Message 2
Time: 9:56 am
From: Raidon
Where are u?
I observed my cell phone not knowing what to say. I knew we needed to talk but I
wasn't sure of how to tell him about my feelings. I mean, I didn't want him to
believe I was saying 'I love you' cause i felt guilty for not saying it before.
I waited a minute before replying Raidon's message. He was right we needed to ta
lk but I couldn't help feeling nervous about it.
"I'm home" I replied through my cell phone.
I walked to the bathroom and did my morning routine.
After taking a long relaxing shower, I left the bathroom to get some clothes fro
m my closet.
"What should i wear?" I wondered trying to distract myself from the tension I wa
s feeling because of my future conversation with Raidon. Thanks God I didn't hav
e classes at college cause I was sure I wouldn't be able to concentrate that day
.
I chose a white top and some tight jeans. I got my long brown hair in a pony tai
l.
I was putting my make-up when someone knocked my door.
"Ally?" Alex's voice was heard at the other side.
"Come in" I continued with my make-up.
"He's downstairs" Alex said secretly but I wasn't surprise.
"Does he look angry?" I asked finishing with the eye-liner.
"He looks freaking serious. Does he always wear black?"
"Yes" I replied in front of the mirror. I turned to Alex "Do I look good?"
"As usual"
"I have to go" I said grabbing my cell phone and keys.
"Good luck" that was the last thing I heard from Alex before going downstairs.
I had no words to define how nervous i was.
When I finished the stairs, there he was... leaning against the wall, he was all
in black. my God, he was gorgeous. He was playing with his car's keys.
I swallowed. His hair was all messy, it covered part of his forehead. His lips l
ooked so provocative. His dark eyes met mine and I paralyzed.
I stopped walking.
"Hi" he greeted coldly.
"Hi" I walked to him and he just gave me his back.
"Let's go outside" he stepped outside and i just followed him.
After few steps we were in my mother's garden.
"I-"
"I-" we both started at the same time.
"You first" I said nervously.
Raidon stared at me silently for a moment.
"I know that you didn't expect what i told you last night, it's kind of soon..."
"Raidon..."
"Let me finish" he said seriously "I thought we were in the same level in this r
elation-ship, I mean I'm crazy about you and i thought you felt the same way. Bu
t, i was wrong and you have no idea how much it hurt me that you didn't say you
loved me back last night"
"Raidon..."
"I think it's better for us to stay apart"
What? I was shocked.
"Are you breaking up with me?" I asked surprise.
Raidon didn't reply, he didn't even move. His silence was all i needed as an ans
wer.
"It's better this way" he stated. My heart was pounding like crazy.
"it's better for who?"
"Don't make it harder, Alyssa" he said looking down. I couldn't believe it, i ju
st couldn't "I should go now"
He turned around and started walking away.
I couldn't let him go... not like that. I didn't want him to think i didn't feel
the same way.
"Raidon!" I screamed getting his attention but he just stopped, he didn't turn t
o me "I love you" I said honestly. Raidon didn't move and i looked down "I do, i
panicked last night and I didn't-" his lips were on mine. I didn't know when he
had walked to me but he was kissing me desperately now.
"Say it again" he whispered on my lips.
"I love you" i pleased him. He wrapped his arms around me and i kissed him back
with the same desperation.
I had no words to explain how good it felt to be with him, to feel him. It was l
ike i was made for him.
I liked him...
...I wanted him
I loved him...
We kept kissing each other until our bodies started heating.
"Ally" my mother's voice made jump away from Raidon.
"Mom" i greeted nervously. she was wearing the old clothes she used to water his
flowers. She looked at me uncomfortable.
"I didn't mean to..."
"It's fine" i held Raidon's hand "Mom, this is Raidon"
"Nice to meet you, young man" my mother offered him her hand.
"My pleasure, Miss...?" Raidon asked embarrassed.
"Lambert, but call me Amanda" my mother said smiling at him.
A minute of uncomfortable silence passed.
"I should go now" Raidon said to break the silence.
"Why?" i didn't want to let him go, not yet.
"I work, remember?" he teased smiling "It was a pleasure, Amanda" he said to my
mother and started walking out of the garden.
"I'll walk you to the entry" i followed him in silence.
When we reached his car, Raidon turned to me.
He was smirking.
"What?" i asked confused.
"You are amazing" he pulled by my arm and embraced me. We stayed like that for m
inutes, hours, i don't know but it felt great.
He broke the embrace and looked into my eyes. I loved the way he looked at me, h
is eyes were so intense.
"Kiss me" he asked arrogantly.
"Why?" i teased playfully.
"Because you are my girlfriend and you love me"
"Hmmm"
"What? Aren't those good reasons?"
"Maybe" I stated rolling my eyes.
"Come here" he said leaning to me but i dodged him.
"No"
"Don't play with me, silly girl" he whispered on my ear. I couldn't help looking
for his lips, i kissed him softly.
His hands started caressing the sides of my face. It was the sweetest kiss of my
whole life.
We stopped kissing and he embraced me.
"I have to go" he said kissing my hair.
"No, stay" i embraced him tightly.
"I'll see you tonight" he broke the embrace "Be careful at the club"
"I will. Have a nice day" i wished him the best.
"I'll miss you" he said and gave me a short kiss.
"I'll miss you, too"
"Be a good girl" he squeezed my nose playfully.
"As usual" Raidon started walking to his car.
He got inside it and started the engine.
I waved my hand saying to goodbye to him. He left smiling, my God, what a sexy s
mile he had.
I sighed.
I was in love, deeply in love.
I felt two warm arms being wrapped around me from behind.
I knew that smell, it was my mother's smell.
"My little girl is in love" she said.
"I am" i wasn't going to deny it.
"Can you help your mom to water her plants?" she asked sweetly.
"Sure"
We started our way to the garden, Alex came out of the house.
"Family reunion and I was not invited?" he asked playing hurt.
"Come here" my mother extended her hands to him. She embraced Alex and then pull
ed me to join the hug "You know i love you two with all my heart, right?"
"Of course, mom. We are the most lovable creatures on Earth" Alex said arrogantl
y. We all laughed.
I spent the whole day with my family, watering the plants, preparing lunch. We h
ad so much fun. My mother and Alex made jokes about me and Raidon but i didn't p
ay attention to them.
That was one of the happiest days of my life.
But what I didn't know was what the night would bring to me.

$The Stripper$
&Chapter 15&
-Not this again-
It was getting dark when I arrived to the club. I paid the taxi's driver; yes my
car was at the workshop again. I didn't know what was wrong with that car.
I crossed the principal door saying hello to the guards. I went through the long
dark corridors which leaded to the bar. I found the girls standing on tables; t
hey were practicing the special show we had to do in a few days.
"Hey, Rose" Irony greeted me with a bright smile. She was wearing a black skirt
with some red top and heels.
"The spoiled princess decided to appear" Megan said rolling her eyes. I gave her
a killer look. I didn't understand why she hated me so much; I didn't care anyw
ay, I was in a really good mood after having such a great day.
"To your position, Rose" My boss ordered seriously.
I put my purse on a table and walked to the girls. I sat on the bar to then stan
d up on it.
We rehearsed the dance three times; I ended sweat and tired. I lay on the bar tr
ying to get some air and rest for some minutes.
"Rose" my boss called me and I just turned my head to him "Go get ready. The sho
ws are going to be earlier than usual tonight"
"Why?" I asked frowning.
"We have to close at 12"
"Why?"
"Why, why, why" the boss imitated my voice "Just go to get ready"
"Ok" I replied turning my head to the front. I was staring at the ceiling now. I
wondered where Raidon was or what he was doing. Was he thinking about me? Did h
e miss me? Silly questions, I was acting like a teenage in love.
"Let's go to our dressing rooms, Rose" Irony pulled at my arm making me sit. I j
umped off the bar and landed on the floor without any difficulty.
Irony and I walked through the girls to go to the corridor. I passed Megan and n
oticed the killer look she gave me. I didn't care.
When we were finally in my dressing room, Irony sat on the couch smiling.
"It's been a while without knowing about you" she said chewing gun, God she real
ly loved that.
"Been busy" I stated taking my clothes off.
"Busy, huh? With your perfect boyfriend?" I smiled at her question "Did you fuck
him already?"
"Irony!" I screamed blushing without control.
"What? Oh come on! You're both adults, it's going to happen sooner or later"
"I know that" I stated putting a tight skirt "Help me buttoning this" Irony got
behind me and started fastening my skirt.
"He's really hot, Rose. If I were you, I wouldn't be losing time. I mean, he had
those muscles and those mysterious eyes, I'm sure he's a wild lover"
I just laughed at her words.
"It's not always about sex, Irony. Love plays an important role in a relation-sh
ip"
"Yeah, yeah. But sex is important too. Imagine you and the hot boy don't match i
n bed. No matter how much you loved each other, you won't be able to have a good
relation-ship because the sex sucks and you'll never be pleased"
She had a point, I must admit. I wondered if Raidon and I would be good in bed.
I mean, I had no experience on that since I was a virgin.
"I haven't thought about that" I said honestly.
Irony noticed my thoughtful expression.
"Oh, don't listen to me. You'll be fine" she stated pretending a smile "I should
go, see you at the bar" she walked out of the room quickly.
I was still thinking about Irony's words when my cell phone rang. It was Raidon.

"Hello, lover" I said playfully.
"Lover?" he asked and I could almost see the smile on his face through the cell
phone.
"Yes, lover"
"How's your night going?"
"Good, I'm about to perform my show"
"Can I take a peek?" he asked sadly.
"I don't think so"
"Neither do I. I can't bear the idea of those men watching you"
"You'll get used to it"
Raidon remained in silence.
"Raidon?" I asked but I knew he was there. I could hear his breathing on the cel
l phone.
"Sorry, got distracted with some papers. I guess, I'll see you tomorrow"
"Tomorrow?" I asked confused. I thought he would pick me up at the club like eve
ry day.
"Yes, I have some work tonight"
"But my car is at the workshop" I complained like a spoiled girl.
"Take a cap" he said coldly. I sensed some anger coming from him.
"Is everything ok, Raidon?"
"Yes" but I knew he wasn't ok, he got that angry tone since I had said 'You'll g
et used it'
"Raidon..."
"Rose!" I heard my voice screaming at the other side of the door "Your show is i
n five minutes"
"I'm coming!" I exclaimed "Raidon..."
"You have to go, don't you?" he stated sadly.
"Yes, I'll call you when I get home"
"Ok" he said and hanged up.
I sighed. This was going to be a long night, I thought getting ready for my show
.
_-_
After performing my show, I was really tired. I didn't know why I felt kind of w
eak that night. Maybe I was going to get the flu or something. I changed my clo
thes and got out of my dressing room. Kage was not around, so I had to look for
him so he could call me a cap.
I started my way down the corridor when I noticed someone coming. I stopped brea
thing in surprise when I saw who it was.
"Kaito?"
"Oh, Alyssa, I mean Rose" he said nervously.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked shocked. Kaito stayed in silence "Ar
e you stalking me?"
"No, no, For God sakes! Of course not" he replied immediately "I was just... wel
l, I'm actually a regular client"
"I don't believe you"
"You can ask your boss if you want. I come here very often" he explained serious
ly.
I evaluated him carefully, I noticed he was wearing a brown suit; his dirty blon
d hair was falling down his ears and forehead. His hazels eyes looked at me with
curiosity.
"I'll believe you for now" I stated dialing a Taxi's agency number. No response
as usual.
"Need a ride?" Kaito's voice said behind me. I tried to ignore him with all my h
eart but he was so right, I needed a ride home.
I turned to him defeated.
"If you try anything..." he raised his hands in a peace offer.
"I won't do a thing. I promise" for the first time I saw honesty on his eyes.
We walked out of the club and leaded to the parking lot. I was not surprise to s
ee a fancy blue car, I mean, Raidon's family had money. I had to get used to tha
t.
Kaito opened the door for me. I got in the car, the smell of cigarettes and expe
nsive perfume hit my nostrils. Kaito started the engine.
"You smoke?" I had to ask.
"Sometimes. Why?"
"Just curiosity" I replied looking at the window. Kaito started driving without
producing a word; the silence was becoming unbearable every past second.
"Do you mind if I turn the music on?" he asked breaking the silence.
"No, not at all" he pressed a button and then 'Get out alive' by Three days grac
e began filling my ears.
"Hey, I know that song" I said smiling at him.
"Really?"
"Yes, I really liked it when I was younger"
Kaito turned his head to me for a second. He smiled sweetly showing his perfect
set of white teeth.
"If you wanna get out alive...." I started singing "Run for your life..." I kept
singing like a crazy groupie. It's really exciting when you listened to a song
you had years without hearing. It reminded me of my high school years.
The song ended, I took a deep breath to fill my lungs after taking so much air o
ut them for the singing.
"Where do you live?" Kaito asked focused on the road. I gave him my address quic
kly.
In a few minutes we were in my street.
"Which house?" Kaito asked and I looked at my house a few meters away but for my
surprise there was an ambulance in front of my house.
"Oh no..." I immediately jumped out of the car.
"Alyssa?" Kaito's confused call was soon left behind me as I was running to the
ambulance. I spotted Alex standing in the street.
"Alex?" I called him as soon as I got to him "What happened?" I could feel the f
ear running through me as I was waiting for the answer of that question.
"Mom..." he didn't get the chance to say anything else. A stretcher was taken ou
t of the house with my mother on it.
"Mom?" I asked running to her.
Two men dressed in white were putting her oxygen. She was unconscious and extrem
ely pale.
"Mom?" I called her even when I knew she couldn't hear me. I followed the stretc
her and grabbed her pale hand. She was so cold... I felt warm tears welling up m
y eyes but I held them back.
The stretcher-bearers got her on the ambulance quickly. I was going to get on it
as well but Alex stopped me.
"I'll go" he said seriously and got inside the ambulance "Follow us"
I nodded my head in agreement nervously. The ambulance's doors were soon closed
and on its way to the hospital, I hadn't realized I was shaking. And then it hit
me... I had no car, how was I supposed to follow the ambulance?
"Oh fuck!"
"Is everything alright?" Kaito's voice asked from behind.
"Can you take me to the hospital, please?" I begged trying to remain strong.
"Of course" he replied quickly.
Kaito was driving fast but I didn't tell him to slow down. I just needed to get
to the hospital. Dozens of thoughts got on my mind. I just wanted my mom to be o
k.
We finally arrived.
I jumped out of the car and went to the emergency's entry of the hospital. Kaito
followed me in silence. I found myself in a long corridor with white walls. Ale
x was leaning against the wall.
"Alex" i called him and he turned me. He looked pretty freak out "Where is she?"
I asked immediately.
"They're checking her"
"What happened?"
"I don't know. We were talking in the kitchen when she suddenly became pale and
passed out" Alex sounded nervous. I gave my back to him thinking 'Not this again
'
I run my fingers through my hair. There's nothing worst than being in a waiting
room. You stand there with your heart pounding desperately against your chest be
cause all you want it's your loved one to be ok. I lost count of the many times
I had been in that position.
I felt tears welling up my eyes. I tried to take a deep breath but failed.
"Ally" Alex called me and I turned to him holding my tears back.
"huh?"
"Come here" he offered his arms to me.
I walked to him as tears began rolling down my cheeks. I embraced my brother wit
h all my strength burying my face on his chest.
I cried... God knows how much I had tried to remain strong. How much I had gone
trough with my mother's sickness. I just cried on my brother's chest, i needed t
o get all that sadness and powerless out of me.
"Shh... She'll be ok" Alex's voice broke.
"I... just..." I couldn't speak clearly. I took a step back getting some space b
etween Alex and me "I just... wish I could take her pain away" I stated sobbing.

"I know"
"I have done the impossible" my voice broke "I just... i don't know what else to
do"
"Ally..."
"Why her, Alex?" I asked cleaning my tears "Why does my mother have to go all th
rough this? She's an angel"
"Ally..."
"It's not fucking fair!" i screamed.
"Calm down, Ally" Alex said grabbing me by my arm.
"No, I can't" i stated looking down "Mom!" i screamed at the room's door when th
e doctors had my mother "I love you!" tears kept rolling down my cheeks "Don't l
eave me here!" Alex embraced me from behind.
"She knows that"
"I love you, mom!" i screamed again feeling the powerlessness running through me
"You'll be ok!" I cried inconsolably.
I just wished she was ok. Why did she have to deal with this sickness? Why?
Alex kept embracing me for minutes that seemed like hours to me.
I was sobbing completely focused on the room's door.
The door was opened and a tall doctor came out with some blood on his white coat
.
Oh no... that couldn't be good.
"Are you the family?" The doctor asked seriously.
"Yes" Alex replied because I couldn't utter a word.

$The Stripper$
&Chapter 16&
- It is back -
The doctor stood right there in front of us. I could feel my heart pounding insi
de my chest, I was deeply scared.
"How is she?" I asked directly.
"She's stable for now" The doctor said and I felt relief going through me "I'm a
fraid I have some bad news"
I stopped breathing. Alex wrapped one arm around me to comfort me while we were
waiting for the bad news.
"What is it?" Alex asked worried.
"The cancer is back" The doctor stated and I felt like my whole world was spinni
ng but I tried to stay strong "We just found a tumor on her brain, she passed ou
t because the tumor was putting pressure between her skull and brain"
"No..." I murmured looking down. That couldn't be happening.
"We had to perform an emergency operation" and the doctor kept talking... and ta
lking about tumors and treatments but I just couldn't listen anymore. I wanted t
o listen... I really wanted but I just couldn't.
"Can we see her?" Alex's question called my attention.
"Maybe later. Now she's under the anesthetic" The doctor explained "I have to go
. I'll be back later to check on your mother"
"Ok. Thank you, doctor" Alex said politely. I had to get out of that place.
I started walking to the exit.
"Ally? Where are you going?" Alex's voice was soon left behind.
I felt Kaito following me but didn't pay attention to him. Once I stepped outsid
e the hospital the cold air caressed my face. I spotted a garden few meters away
.
I walked to the garden and stopped in the middle of it. A beautiful woman founta
in was there, water was coming out of her hands.
"I want to be alone" I said knowing that Kaito was behind me.
He didn't say a thing. I ran my fingers through my hair as tears began rolling d
own my cheeks. I fell on my knees completely in pain, I cried silently for minut
es.
I felt two strong arms being wrapped around me from behind. Kaito was embracing
me.
"Cry" he said sadly "Let the pain out"
"I just..." my voice broke.
"You don't need to say a thing. Just cry"
I cried aloud because I had to. My mother was sick again, just when I thought th
e cancer was gone forever, it had come back. I remembered my mother's sweet smil
e, i just wanted her to smile forever... i didn't want her to be in pain again.
She had suffered enough.
When I was calmed; Kaito helped me to stand up. He turned me around and I could
see honest sadness on his eyes.
"Do you want me to call Raidon?" He asked caressing my face.
"Yes" God knows how much I needed the man I loved beside me at that moment.
Kaito got his cell phone and started dialing Raidon's number.
"Hey man..." Kaito started talking to Raidon "I'm at the hospital right now....
No, I'm fine... Alyssa's mother is here... yes, Saint Benito's Hospital.... Ok"
Kaito hung up and looked at me.
"Is he coming?" I asked with hope.
"Yes, he's on his way" Kaito stated putting his cell phone back on his pocket "A
re you feeling better?"
"I guess so" I lied looking away.
"Let's go inside. It's freezing out here" Kaito offered his hand. I held it and
walked beside him to the hospital again.
"Where did you go?" Alex asked as soon as we arrived to the corridor.
"She needed some air" Kaito explained for me.
We stayed there in silence. I sat on some white chair, I wondered why everything
was so white in this hospital. I was sleepy and tired since I had worked at the
club that night. I rested my head on the back of the chair; I felt asleep in ju
st a moment.
I felt two strong arms lifting me up. I tried to open my eyes but it was so hard
to do it. Someone was carrying me bridal style. I knew that smell... it was fam
iliar to me.
I started opening my eyes slowly. The first thing I saw was a pale neck and then
my eyes went up to meet that perfect jaw I knew very well: Raidon's jaw. He loo
ked down at me. His dark eyes showed concerned.
"Put me on the ground" I asked rubbing my eyes.
"No way" he replied seriously.
"Where are you taking me?"
"To my car"
"Why?"
"You'll see"
When we arrived to the parking; he put me on the ground to open his car's door.
When I got to see inside his car, I saw pillows and sheets on the co-driver's se
at.
"What's all this?" I asked frowning.
"You need to get some sleep"
"No, I can't sleep now. My mother..."
"Your mother is under the anesthetic. She won't wake up tonight, maybe tomorrow'
s morning"
"That's not the point..." Raidon held my face with both hands.
"Sleep, Ally"
"I can't" I replied looking down.
"Yes, you can. You were sleeping on that uncomfortable hospital chair"
"But I can't leave Alex alone"
"He's not alone. Kaito is with him" Raidon held my chin to make me look at him "
Please"
I nodded my head defeated.
"Just for a few hours" I said sitting on the seat. Raidon put the pillow on the
back of my head. I settled my head on it. He covered me with the sheets and lean
ed to me. He kissed my forehead softly and then looked into my eyes.
"I'm sorry for being a jerk when you called me from the club"
"It's ok" I said smiling at him. I gave him a short kiss on the lips.
"Everything is going to be alright" he caressed my cheek gently.
"I'm scared" I stated honestly.
"I know. But you're not alone anymore. Now you have Alex and me to help you" I n
odded my head "Now, get some sleep" Raidon stated stepping back to close the car
's door.
"Will you be around?" I didn't want to be completely alone in the parking.
"Of course" Raidon said smiling at me.
I tried to relax taking deep breaths, feeling the softness of the sheets. I star
ted closing my eyes slowly.
--
I opened my eyes feeling hot. The heat was stifling. I could feel the sweat roll
ing down my neck and breasts. I opened the car's door confused, the parking lot
was completely lonely.
"Raidon?" I wet my lips looking around "Raidon?" No answer. He said he would be
around. I began my way to the hospital's entry. When I got inside, I spotted som
e nurses walking around. I stepped on the corridor where my mother's room was.
Alex was sleeping on a chair but there was no sign of Raidon or Kaito.
I was standing in front of my mother's room door now. I opened the door with my
shaking hand. I stopped breathing when I looked inside. My mother was bleeding f
rom everywhere... blood was dripping from her bed.
"mom?" I called her completely in shock. She was pale and not breathing "No... N
o! No! Mom! Mother!" I screamed feeling the tears on my eyes.
"We did our best" A doctor said behind me "I'm sorry"
"No! No! Mother! Moom!!!"
"Ally!" I felt cold hands grabbing my face "Wake up!" Raidon's voice sounded des
perate. I opened my eyes blinking confused. Raidon embraced me "It was just a ba
d dream" I was breathing heavily.
"Mom..." I couldn't believe it was just a dream. It had felt so real.
I was still at Raidon's car and the sunrise was visible among the buildings arou
nd the hospital.
Raidon grabbed my face with both hands and kissed me softly.
"Your mother just woke up" he stated smiling at me.

&Chapter 17&
- Choice -
Raidon's words 'Your mother just woke up' we were walking through the long white
corridor that leads to the room where my mother was.
Kaito was sleeping on a chair, poor guy. He looked innocent with his eyes close
d. Alex was standing in front of the door. He looked terrible; the lack of sleep
was obvious. He had bags under his eyes and her hair was all messy.
"How is she?" I asked trying to see the answer on Alex's eyes.
"She's ok. You can see her now" he replied pretending a smile.
I just nodded my head and grabbed the doorknob. I took a deep breath, I still h
ad that horrible nightmare inside my head. Raidon gave me a soft look like he wa
s encouraging me to go inside.
I opened the door and walked inside but my gaze was on the floor.
"Ally" my mother's weak voice brought tears to my eyes but I held them back.
I looked up trying to be strong. I saw my mother lying on the bed, she had a wh
ite bandage on all over her head. White sheets were covering her body.
"Mom" I stated going towards her. I held her hand "How do you feel? Oh... what
a stupid question"
"It's ok, sweetie"
I didn't know what to say.
"I need you to listen to me, Ally" my mother paused taking a deep breath "Just
listen to me, ok?"
"Ok" I stated worried.
"I talked to the doctor. He said the cancer was back, and it is more aggressive
this time. There are barely some studies about my type of cancer so it is almos
t impossible to treat it this time" my mother looked into my eyes "I asked him t
o be honest with me. He said he didn't see a way to save me this time but he cou
ld try"
I felt like cold water had fallen over me, freezing me, leaving breathless. The
re was no hope? My mother could not be safe? She was going to die? No... No...
"Mom..."
"Let me finish"
I just nodded my head.
"I want to go home" she said sadly.
"What?"
"I don't want any more hospitals, needles or chemo. I just want to be in peace"
"but... mom..."
"I'm tired, Ally"
"I know, mom. I'm sorry" I said honestly.
"Just take me home, Ally" she said on the verge of tears.
"Mom, we have to keep our hope..."
"I can't"
"yes, you can. I'll be right beside you" a tear rolled down my cheek.
"I can't keep doing this!" my mother exclaimed.
"You have to!" I said crying.
"Don't be selfish, Ally"
"Selfish?"
"Yes, respect my decision. I can't keep doing this. I just want to be home"
"So am I supposed to watch you die?!" I didn't realize I was yelling already but
my mother's choice was tearing my world apart.
"Ally..."
"I'm sorry, mom. But I can't do that; I refuse to just let you die"
"This is my choice, Ally.
"Don't do this, mom. Please..." I begged feeling the salty tears rolling down my
cheeks "you have always been a fighter... you taught about being strong and-"
"I know, sweetie. But I have no strength left, this is beyond me"
"I'll be strong for you, mom. Just please... let's try..."
"I had made my decision, Ally. I'm not going to change my mind"
"Your decision is killing me, can't you see it?"
"I'm sorry, Ally. But I just want to go home" a tear rolled down her cheek, and
at that moment I knew how bad she wanted to be home, to be in peace, to be away
from hospitals and treatments. I really understood her but it was hard for me ju
st to accept the fact that my mother was going to die.
I gave her my back running my fingers through my hair, feeling the wetness of my
lips because of my tears.
I didn't know what to say, I hadn't been ready for this.
I really wanted to please my mother but how could I respect her choice? How coul
d I just accept she was going to die and there was nothing I could do?
"I already spoke to the doctor. He said I could leave the hospital in the aftern
oon"
"No..."
"Ally..."
I turned to her feeling the powerlessness running through me.
"You can't die, mom. I can't lose you... I just..."my voice broke.
"Sweetie, come here" She offered her arms to me "sit" I obeyed her and sat on th
e bed beside her.
"I..."
"you have to understand, Ally" she caressed my face softly "I had a wonderful li
fe, I had wonderful unique children. I'm so proud of you; you have done so much
for me. And Alex got back leaving all the drugs behind him. I've been happy, All
y. I'm happy" she was honest "I can go in peace, I don't want to put you and you
r brother though a worthless intend to save me, being in the hospital... watch m
e in pain. I just want to be home with you two"
I sighed feeling sadness in my heart. But my mother was right, it was her choice
.
"I just want you to be happy" I stated honestly.
"I know"
"I love you, mom"
"Love you, too, sweetie"
I realized how tired my mother looked.
"You need to rest" I pretended a smile "We'll be outside if you need us"
My mother just nodded.
I'm not going to lie; my world was crashing down right in front of my eyes. I wa
s really suffering in the inside but I would respect my mother's choice.
I stepped out of the room and leaned against the door. Immediately, Raidon was i
n front of me with a concerned expression on his face.
"Are you ok?" he used a soft tone to speak like he knew I wasn't ok at all.
"I'm fine"
"She told you about what she wants, didn't she?" Alex asked with a sad tone.
"You know?" I was surprised.
"Yes, she told me few hours ago"
"What does she want?" Kaito asked rubbing his eyes.
Raidon looked at me, waiting for my answer.
"She wants to go home. No treatment, no more hospitals" I stated sadly.
Why did I feel like my heart was broken in pieces? It was the worst sensation in
the world.
- In the afternoon -
We got home after the doctor checked my mother and discharged her. Alex helped h
er to get inside the house. We all looked terrible because of the lack of sleep.
Kaito and Raidon were standing there at the front door.
"Well..." I started because I needed them to go and rest.
"I should go now" Kaito stated turning around.
"Hey, Kaito" I called, making him turn to me again.
I walked to him and gave him a short hug. He looked into my eyes.
"Thank you"
He just nodded his head smiling and then he was gone.
Now it was just Raidon and me, my boyfriend looked deadly sexy with those bags u
nder his eyes. I know it sounds crazy but it gave him sort of mysterious look.
"Since when you and Kaito are so closed?" He asked frowning.
"We are not closed. He just helped me a lot tonight"
"I see" Raidon said coldly.
"Are you jealous?"
"No"
"Yes, you are"
"No, I'm not. He's like my brother, I trust him"
"Uhmm"
"Where did you find each other last night?"
"At the club" Raidon's face became paler than usual.
"You're saying that Kaito saw you naked?"
"I don't know. I wasn't paying attention to my public"
Raidon stayed in silence. He bit his lower lip and grabbed my face with both han
ds.
We kissed softly; it was the sweetest kiss I had received from Raidon.
"Everything is going to be alright" he whispered on my lips.
I had almost forgot about my mother's sickness. When I was kissing those soft li
ps, it was like I was transported to another world where pain and sadness didn't
exist, where I was happy and didn't have any worries.
I guess, that was the power of true love. To kiss the person you love makes you
forget all your worries.
Raidon was my little candle on this entire situation and I was sure I would neve
r let him go.

& Chapter 18 &
Friends
After Raidon left I got inside my house and went upstairs straight to my room. I
passed my mother's door but I guessed she was resting so I decided not to bothe
r her. I stepped inside my room closing the door behind me, my legs hurt and I
really needed to take a shower. After spending the night at the hospital, I felt
completely exhausted even when I had slept on Raidon's car.
I took a deep breath as I was walking to my bathroom. When the hot water started
falling on my skin, I felt so good. I needed to get my body cleaned. I passed t
he soap all around me slowly.
After taking the longest shower of my life, I walked out of the bathroom to get
some clothes.
My cell phone rang making me jump in surprise.
"Hello?" I answered with only a towel around my waist.
"Ally?" Irony's voice sounded worried "We just found out about your mother's sta
te"
"We?" I asked confused.
"Marissa is with me"
"Oh"
"Can we go to your house?" Irony sounded really nervous.
"Sure"
"Ok. We'll be there soon" and with that she hung up. I really needed those two g
irls right now. I mean, they were the closest people to me after my family.
I sighed and continued getting dress. When I was done, I went downstairs. Alex w
as on the couch watching TV, his blond hair looked wet, and he was shirtless. He
had just taken a shower, too. I realized my brother was hot, he had defined mus
cles and a cute baby boy face. I wondered why he was alone. I noticed he was fa
lling asleep.
"Alex"
"Huh?" he murmured trying to keep his eyes opened.
"Go to sleep. You look terrible"
"I'll sleep here"
"On the couch?"
"Yes"
"Why on Earth would you sleep on the couch when you have a comfortable bed upsta
irs?" I frowned.
"I just..."
"What?"
"I just want to stay here, ok?"
I noticed sadness on his tone. I walked to him and sat beside him. I turned off
the TV.
"Are you ok?" I asked knowing exactly the answer of that question.
"What do you think?" He said rubbing his eyes. The bags under his eyes were rea
lly defined.
I didn't know what to say. We were both devastated for my mother's decision but
it was something we have to respect, it was her choice after all.
"Are we doing the right thing?" Alex asked looking at me. His blue eyes showed h
ow sad and tired he was.
"I don't know"
"What if a new treatment is developed-" I held his face in my hands.
"It is her choice, Alex"
"But-"
"I know. It's killing me from the inside, too. But this is what she wants"
Alex looked down sadly.
The bell rang making both of us looked at the door.
"I'll go" I said standing up.
When I opened the door, Marissa and Irony were standing in front of me. They bot
h looked worried. Irony was wearing a short white dress, her firmed legs were ex
posed. Marissa was on her work uniform.
"Hey" They both greeted giving me a comforting smile.
"Come in"
They stepped inside and I closed the door behind me.
"Hey, Alex!" Marissa greeted my brother smiling. Alex stood up slowly.
"Hi Marissa" Alex's gaze went from Marissa to Irony. I could swear I saw a glint
on his eyes when he met Irony's eyes.
Oh! I had to introduce them.
"Irony, this is my brother. Alex, this is Irony" I said quickly.
"Nice to meet you" They both stated smiling at each other.
Marissa and I shared gazes.
"I should go upstairs" Alex stated realizing he was shirtless "Nice to see you g
irls" Alex smiled at Irony.
What the hell was going on with those two?
After Alex left, we sat on the couch.
"How is she?" Marissa asked caressing my back.
"The cancer is back" I replied sadly "It seems like we can't save her this time.
She decided to spend her last days at home"
"Oh" Marissa's eyes welled up with tears. She cared about my mother too. Since I
had started college, Marissa had been around my mother. She thought of her as a
relative.
I pretended a smile.
"I have to respect her choice, right?"
A tear rolled down Marissa's cheek. She cleaned it quickly.
"I guess, it's her decision after all" she replied looking away. Irony remained
in silence; she held my hand squeezing it softly.
"I'm really sorry, Ally" she stated with a sad tone.
We talked about my mother's state for at least 30 minutes. I was really tired bu
t it felt nice to have people to listen to you, sometimes that's all you got to
make you feel a little bit better.
"I don't want to talk about my mother anymore" I said honestly. Every time I men
tioned her, I felt like my heart was being torn apart.
Marissa and Irony nodded their heads in agreement.
Marissa started telling me about the assignments we had at college, and Irony wa
rned me about my boss' mood lately. I felt lucky, I didn't have many friends but
the ones I had were really special.
"Hey Rose, now that we are talking about something else" Irony whispered leaning
to me "Your brother is hot" she emphasized the "O" in hot.
I couldn't stop smiling at that.
"Irony..." Marissa complained shaking her head.
"What? He's hot" Irony replied chuckling.
"Stay away from my brother, you are dangerous" I menaced playfully.
"Oh come on! Did you see how he looked at me? I have hopes" Irony said smirking.

"What happened to Kage?" I had to ask. Last time I had talked to her, she and Ka
ge were together trying to fix their sex/friend relation-ship.
"We are done" Irony sighed "He's just too complicated. We were trying to work in
our sex relation-ship. You know, to make it a formal thing but it didn't work o
ut"
"Sex relation-ship?" Marissa rose an eyebrow "Why this doesn't surprise me"
I chuckled at Marissa's comment.
"Don't blame me. I tried to make it a serious relation-ship but that idiot could
n't keep his dick inside his pants"
"Irony!" Marissa complained.
I laughed as Marissa was becoming red, she could be so innocent sometimes.
"What?" Irony asked frowning "Oh please, we're all adults here"
"Yeah, but ugh... I'm a virgin, remember?" Marissa asked pretending to be upset.

"So? Ally is a virgin, too. And she's not complaining" Irony folded her arms acr
oss her chest.
"You should be complaining" Marissa stared at me with narrowed eyes.
"What?" I asked playing the fool "I work with her, remember? I'm more than used
to her sex comments"
"Besides, Ally will stop being a virgin soon" Irony added moving her eyebrows up
and down quickly.
"What?" Marissa and I asked at the same time.
"Yeah, you have a boyfriend and he's damn hot. I'm sure he will take those panti
es off soon" she pointed down my abdomen.
"Irony!" Marissa exclaimed blushing again.
"What now? I'm telling the truth. Haven't you seen him? My God, he's so hot" Mar
issa seemed to be thinking about it.
"Yes, you are right. He's hot" Marissa agreed "Dear Ally, you're not going to be
a virgin for long" Marissa said playing with my hair.
"Oh, Stop it. I can control myself"
"Right" Irony rolled her eyes.
"Hey! I can!" I exclaimed.
"Oh please, deep down you know he's going to have you sooner or later" Irony ass
ured.
I laughed at their comments. But I knew at some point they were right.
"I'm not having sex any time soon, ok?" I had to clear things up.
"Sure" Irony rolled her eyes. She really liked doing that.
"You don't believe me, do you?" I asked staring at them. Marissa looked away rem
aining in silence.
"I don't" Irony replied quickly.
"Fine, I'm scared, ok? I really love him and-"
"You love him?" Marissa interrupted me.
"Yes"
"Oh... why haven't you told us, sneaky girl?" Irony said pinching my waist.
"Stop it! I'm telling you now" I couldn't stop laughing because of Irony's pinch
es tickled me.
"Who said it first you or him?"
"He said it and I panicked. I told him I loved him back a day after he told me"
"Oh... Ally, you are in love!" Irony started drawing a heart in the air. I gave
her a killer look.
"I'm scared because I love him and I know we'll end having sex sooner or later,
believe me, I want him badly. But what if I do something wrong? Or if it hurts t
oo much?" I asked staring at Irony.
"Of course it'll hurt but just a little, at the beginning. You won't do anything
wrong, just ask him to be gentle with you because it's your first time" Irony e
xplained seriously.
"I also want it to be special. I don't want to lose my virginity on a cheap hote
l or on his car"
"Tell him that"
"I can't. I want him to do it by himself. I want him to think about it and plan
something special by himself" I said honestly.
"Then wait" Marissa stated smiling "If he loves you, he will give you a special
night and more"
"The virgin girl is right" Irony said teasingly. Marissa gave her a killer look
"So, are you going to help me with your brother?"
I laughed. Irony was really persistent.
"I don't think so" I said playfully.
"Why not? We can be sisters-in-law, how awesome is that?"
"Irony is a hopeless case" Marissa teased.
"Keep your hands off my brother" I was staring at Irony.
"I can't promise it. He's just too hot. Didn't you see those defined abs? That f
irmed ass?"
"Ekkkk he's my brother, for God Sakes" I said disgusted.
Irony chuckled. My cell phone rang, I checked the screen "Unknown number"
"Hello?" I asked curious.
"Hey" Kaito's voice surprised me.
"Kaito?"
"Yep"
Oh I remembered I had given him my number at the hospital.
"What's up?"
"Did you get some sleep?"
"Not yet, I have some friends with me right now. Why?"
"I was just... you know, worried about you. Are you feeling better?" That was re
ally sweet of him. I must admit.
"Not really but at least my friends got to distract me" I replied smiling at my
girls.
"That's good. Well, I just wanted to check on you" he said sweetly.
"Thanks"
"Bye then... and Ally, you can count on me. You know that, right?"
"Yes, I know" I said honestly.
"Have sweet dreams" he hung up.
I noticed Marissa and Irony were staring at me.
"Who was that?"
"Kaito, Raidon's cousin"
"Who's Raidon?" Irony asked confused.
"My boyfriend" I stated the obvious.
"Oh, you're friends with Raidon's cousin? I bet he's damn hot, too" Irony smiled
at me.
"He is" I wasn't going to deny it.
"Do you like him?" Marissa raised an eyebrow.
"No, I mean, I feel some attraction towards him but nothing closed to the way I
feel about Raidon"
"That's normal" Irony said getting a lollipop inside her mouth.
"What's normal?" Marissa asked.
"You know, to feel attracted to a hot guy. It's normal, it doesn't mean you like
him or anything like that" Irony replied sucking the lollipop.
"The expert has spoken" Marissa teased.
I was really tired. I blinked a couple times trying to keep my eyes opened.
"We should go. Ally needs to rest" Marissa pushed Irony off the couch.
"Yeah, let's go" I walked them to the door.
"Irony, tell my boss I won't be working tonight. Tell him about my mother's stat
e" Irony nodded her head.
They both gave me hugs and left smiling at me.

Immediately, I walked upstairs to my room. I found Ursula, my mother's nurse on
the way.
"Is she ok?" I asked.
"Yes, she's sleeping. Go and get some rest"
"Ok"
I stepped inside my room and jumped on my bed. I checked the clock on the wall;
it was ticking 7:36 pm. I felt asleep in just few seconds.

Bip...
Bip...
Something was ringing.
I opened my eyes with difficulty. I looked for my phone around the sheets.
"Hello?" I asked half-slept yet.
"Hi, love" Raidon's voice greeted.
I pushed myself into a sitting position.
"What time is it?" I asked rubbing my eyes with my free hand.
"It's almost noon" Raidon replied softly.
"Really?" I couldn't believe I had been sleeping so much.
"Yes. Get ready, I'll pick you up in 20 minutes"
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see. Hurry, lazy girl" and with that he hung up.
I took a quick shower and got a skirt and a random shirt on. When I was ready, I
stepped out my room and walked to my mother's. I knocked the door.
"Come in!" she screamed.
I went inside and she was drawing something on the table next to her window.
"How are you feeling today?" I had to ask.
"Good, Ally. Look" she pointed to her drawing. It was a beautiful garden, with r
oses and lilies.
"It is great, mom. I wish I could have got your talent"
"You're talented in other things, sweetie"
"Mom, I think I'm going out with Raidon for a while but I'll stay here if you wa
nt me to"
"No... no, don't treat me like I'm sick. I want to be treated like a healthy per
son. I'm tired of being the sick one, ok?" She showed me a wide smile "I'm okay.
You go and have fun"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, just be careful" she kept drawing more flowers in the garden.
I went downstairs and heard the bell ringing.
When I opened the door, my beautiful boyfriend was standing in front of it. He w
as wearing a black suit; I guess he was coming from work. His pale skin looked d
eadly sexy on the sunlight, his dark brown eyes looked into mine and I felt like
was melting. He smirked, and his full lips looked more provocative than usual.
He leaned to me slowly and whispered on my ear.
"Stop drooling" He said teasingly. I pushed him back and closed the door behind
me.
"I'm not drooling" I assured as I was starting to walk to his car.
Raidon wrapped his hand around me from behind. I felt his warm breath on my neck
.
"Can I get a kiss?" he used a sweet tone.
"No" I said escaping from his arms. I really enjoyed teasing him.
"I will get one. You'll see" he menaced playfully.
We got inside his car and he started the engine.
Raidon began driving in silence but I could see a smile on his lips.
"Why are you smiling?"
"Nothing"
"What is it?"
"I tell you if you give me a kiss" he was smart.
"No" I said trying to sound secure but curiosity was killing me "Where are we go
ing?" I asked.
"Give me a kiss and I'll tell you" Arg! I felt like I could kill him right there
.
"Fine"
He stopped the car aside the road. I leaned to him and kissed him softly, as soo
n as his lips met mine. I felt completely dazzled. Shivers started running throu
gh me. It felt so right to kiss those full lips. He bit my lower lip making me s
igh.
I leaned back.
"I told you, I would get a kiss" he teased smirking.
"Now, tell me where we are going and why you were smiling"
"One answer for one kiss; choose one"
Arg!
"Where are we going?"
"My house"
"Why?"
"I never got the chance to show it to you"
"Hmmm did you tell your parents we are going there?" I had to ask. I didn't feel
like I was in best clothes to see Raidon's parents again.
"They are not there" his answer caught me out of guard "There's no one there, on
ly servants"
I felt a shiver running through me.
We were going to be alone?
In his house?
Oh Dear lord...
My virginity was in real danger now.

$ The Stripper $
&Chapter 19&
By the time, we arrived to Raidon's house, my hands were sweating and my breathi
ng wasn't regular. I needed to control myself; I mean I couldn't be that nervous
. He was my boyfriend, and yes we were going to be alone at his house but, that
didn't mean we were going to have sex, right?
"Ally?" Raidon's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. He was standing in front o
f the car's door, leaning to my window "Are you thinking about getting out the c
ar any time soon?" I smiled at him.
"Yes" Raidon opened the door for me. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I to
ok a deep breath 'Calm down' Why was I so nervous?
I looked up to meet my boyfriend's eyes. He was staring at me, amusement plaster
ed on his face.
"What?" I asked taking a few step towards him.
"Nothing. Remember, if you want answers" he pointed his mouth with his finger.
I narrowed my eyes at him.
"So, basically you're saying that I have to kiss you every time I want an answer
from you?"
"Exactly" he stated smirking. I gave him a killer look.
"Sir Raidon" a husky voice said from behind us.
Raidon and I turned to the source of that voice. It was the old lady, who looked
at Raidon like he was his son. I remembered how cold he had been to her, the ot
her day.
"Hello Miss...?" The old lady asked politely.
"I'm Alyssa" I replied extending my hand to her smiling. She seemed surprise by
my action "What's your name?"
"Martha" she uttered still surprise, she finally shook my hand.
"Nice to meet you, Martha" I showed her a warm smile. She cared about Raidon, I
was sure of that.
"Would you like something to drink?" she asked looking at Raidon sweetly. But my
boyfriend was too busy checking something on his phone.
"We are fine" I replied quickly "I'm curious. Have you been working here for lon
g?"
Martha looked surprise by my interested on her. It was like she didn't think it
was appropriate to talk to me.
"Since Sir Raidon was a baby, I've been here for more that twenty years" she sou
nded nostalgic.
"You must know him really well" I added.
"I guess" she said looking down.
I was about to ask her more when Raidon wrapped his hand around my wrist and pul
led me behind me.
"Let's get inside"
"But-" I protested.
"Enough with the chatting" he stated coldly.
As soon as we got inside the mansion, I slapped Raidon's hand.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked confused.
"Nothing"
"Why do you keep treating that old lady so coldly? She obviously care about you"
"She's just a servant"
"No, she's not. She's been beside you since you were a baby and I can see on her
eyes how much she cares about you"
"You know nothing"
"Then, tell me" I folded my arms around my chest.
Raidon sighed looking away.
"You're not going to let it go, are you?" I shook my head "I was raised to be li
ke this, to my servants" I frowned.
"You were raised to be cold to your servants? I don't believe that. I mean, I kn
ow I barely know your parents but they don't look like the kind of people who wo
uld do that" I explained carefully.
"I'm telling the truth" Raidon stated looking to the wall.
"You are lying" I didn't know how I noticed that because I just did.
"It's not a big deal. Let's go upstairs" he said starting to walk to me.
"I'm not moving until you tell me the truth" I stepped back.
Raidon looked at me; resignation was filling his beautiful eyes.
"Martha is sick" I could perceive the sadness on his voice "She has some termina
l disease on her lungs because she used to smoke a lot"
"Oh I'm sorry"
"I told her to quit smoking everyday of my life but she didn't listen and now...
" he paused biting his lower lip "She's just going to die" realization hit me.
"That's why you're pushing her away, isn't it? You think that by staying away fr
om her, when she dies it won't hurt you" Raidon remained in silence for a few se
conds.
"I just wish she had listened to me. Why would she throw her life away like that
? She knew what she meant to me. She knew how it would hurt me if something bad
happen to her"
"Smoking is an addiction, Raidon. It's needed more than just commitment to quit
it"
"She could have done for me but she didn't so she doesn't care for me as she sai
d she did"
"You can't be angry at her forever. Why is she even working here if she's sick?"
"That's a good question" Raidon replied distantly.
"Maybe she just wants to be around for her last days even when you're being so c
old to her"
"I don't care. Now you know the truth, can we stop talking about it?"
"No. Look, you need to talk to her, to tell her how you really feel"
"No, and I hope you respect my decision"
"But it's a stupid decision. Are you going to make her suffer during the last da
ys of her life?"
"I'm not making her suffer. I'm just... protecting myself"
"Don't be selfish, Raidon. She needs you more than ever"
"Could you just drop it?"
"If you promise, you will at least think about talking to her" Raidon sighed.
"Fine. Come with me, I will show you the house" those words reminded of the fact
that we were alone at his house. I swallowed hard; I had been distracted by all
that Martha's thing. My heart started pounding fast against my chest.
Raidon showed part of his house, we went from the kitchen to the guest rooms and
ended on her father's studio which by the way was bigger than my house. Raidon
was holding my hand the whole way; he squeezed softly every time he could. I fel
t so good hanging out with him. We had lots of things in common.
"Wanna go upstairs?" he asked with a glint on his eyes.
"Huh?" I managed to murmured after swallowing hard, feeling my dry throat.
"I'll show you my room" he sounded excited about it. I couldn't help smiling at
him even when i was really nervous.
"I can't wait to see it" I added following him upstairs.
There was a long corridor ahead us. Doors were placed each side. After passing,
I don't know how many doors we finally stopped in front of one.
Raidon opened the door for me, and stayed at the doorframe waiting for me to get
inside so I did.
"Wow" it was all I could say.
There was four-poster bed in the corner with an antique night table beside it. A
gorgeous dragon lamp was on the table. Every thing looked implacable. The wall
was painted with some pale brown; it gave the room a really warming sensation. I
saw paintings hanging on the wall, I stepped towards them. There was a big port
rait of Vivaldi.
"You really like classic music, don't you?" I asked glancing at Raidon with the
corner of my eye.
"You recognized him?"
"It's Vivaldi, right?"
"Yes, you know you are my music mate, don't you?" i couldn't stop chuckling at h
is comment.
I kept observing the paintings.
My eyes went to a very dark painting. My heart skipped a beat in excitement as i
recognized that wonderful piece of art.
"Oh my God..." I exclaimed surprised "Saturn devouring his son" I said the name
of the painting and turned around to see Raidon.
"You know the work of Francisco Goya?" he asked shocked.
"Of course. This is part of his black paintings" I pointed to the wall "How did
you get it?" i was astonished.
"Lot of money, I guess. I can't believe you know this piece of art"
"What are you talking about? Goya is one of my favorite painters, I love the rom
anticism" I kept observing the painting "I never thought I would actually see th
is. Did you know he painted this directly on the walls of his house? Isn't that
fascinating?"
"Yes, it is" I felt him embracing me from behind. He kissed my cheek "I never th
ought you would be an art lover"
"I am" I said giggling, because his closeness was making me shiver.
He turned me around to make me face him.
"Kiss me" he ordered smirking.
"Why?" I teased wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Because you are my girlfriend" he whispered on my lips.
"So?" he didn't reply, he just pulled me closer to him. He kissed me quickly and
as soon as my lips touched his, I felt electricity in my entire body. His tongu
e licked my lower lip asking for entrance and I gave in, letting him explore my
mouth. I held his hair to pull him closer deepening the kiss; his hands squeezed
my waist softly sending a wave of desire through me. It was getting hot in ther
e, his hands went down to my hips and then to my ass, he squeezed roughly, makin
g me sigh on his mouth.
His lips kept playing with mine; his tongue kept increasing my hotness inside my
mouth. He pushed me against the wall as he left my mouth to go down to my neck.
I moaned softly, when he started letting little kisses all over it.
"Raidon..." I was completely drunk in sensations. His hand slipped inside my t-s
hirt and went to my boobs. When his warm finger caressed my nipples I felt on fi
re. My nipples got hard under his fingers. I wanted more, I needed more. I kisse
d him hardly while I started rubbing myself against him. He pressed his body aga
inst mine, letting me feel how hard his manhood was.
His free hand slipped under my skirt. Every touch he made on my skin felt like h
e was activating my body. I arched to him in desire when his hand caressed my V
spot above my panties material.
He lifted me and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He took me to his bed but d
idn't stop kissing me for one moment. He laid me on the bed carefully; I looked
at him standing there. He was so sexy, his lips were red and his cheeks flushed.
He had a glint on his eyes: desire. He took his tie off and then proceeds with
the rest of his clothes until he was only on his boxers. I could see how define
his muscles were.
He got on top of me and kissed me savagely. I didn't complain because it felt ab
solutely right. I needed to get rid of my clothes, it bothered me. I wanted to f
eel his warm skin against mine. He seemed to read my mind because he took my t-s
hirt off and then my bra. He stared at my breast with lust on his eyes; it incre
ased my desire for him. He held my boobs with both hands and leaned to them. He
used the tip of his tongue to lick my nipples.
"Oh God..." I moaned completely hypnotized by the sensations he was causing in m
e. He bit one of my nipples playfully making moan louder.
His lips met mine once more. I kissed him desperately as he was rubbing his hard
ness against my thighs. I put my hand on his chest to push him back a little to
then, take my skirt and my panties off.
Now we were both naked. I have no words to describe how good it feel, the contac
t of our bare skins. We were both breathing heavily. He kept touching me everywh
ere, while his hard member kept brushing against my clitoris causing to let go l
oud moans which were caught on his mouth as he kissed me lustfully.
I felt the tip of his penis on my entry and I tensed. Raidon held my face with b
oth hands.
"Do you want me to stop?" he asked softly kissing me all over my face.
"No" I said secure. God knows how much I wanted him to continue. He gave me a sw
eet smile and kissed me softly. I felt him getting inside me; a shot of pain att
acked me.
"It hurts" I grimaced in pain.
"It's ok. I'm here, I promise it will go away" he kept pushing himself inside me
. it felt like there was a barrier there, that needed to be broken.
Suddenly, he got completely inside me in quick move.
"Ah!" I screamed in pain. He kissed me lustfully trying to distract me from that
. He started moving carefully inside me. The pain was going away, being replaced
by a very nice sensation. His thrusts became harder and harder as he was kissin
g me, invading my mouth just like he was doing it with my body. My nipples were
brushing his chest, sending pleasure through me.
"Oh Raidon..." I moaned his name while he kept penetrating me harder and harder.
His low abdomen brushed my clitoris every time he came down, getting his hardne
ss completely inside me.
I wrapped my legs around his waist, in a attempt to get him closer to me. My boo
bs started moving at his thrusts rhythm.
He moaned on my mouth increasing my pleasure.
"Oh God, I love you" he whispered on my lips. I felt a strong pressure between m
y legs, my body started arching in anticipation.
"Raidon!" I screamed as the orgasm took over me. Raidon moaned loudly, and i fel
t some warm liquid inside me. He fell on me, both breathing heavily.
I wetted my lips because they were dry from all the moaning and screaming.
Raidon got off me and pushed himself to lay beside me. We were still breathing h
eavily, a relax sensation crossed my body; it was like my muscles had received a
pleasant massage.
"That was..." amazing? Fantastic? Great? I didn't know what word to use.
"I know" Raidon agreed with a pleased tone.
Cold wind was getting through the window, my naked body shivered.
"I'm cold" I stated but Raidon was already covering us with a blanket. He pulled
me into a hug.
Tears started watering my eyes as realization was hitting me.
"What's wrong?" Raidon asked looking into my now wet eyes "Hey... No, no tears.
Did I do something wrong?"
I shook my head.
"What's wrong?" he repeated his question. Concern plastered on his face.
"I just..." I paused cleaning my tears "I just have this weird feeling of lost..
."
"Ally, look at me" I did sobbing a little "I love you" i could feel the honesty
of his words "I would never hurt you. It's ok to feel like that, you lost someth
ing really important for you" i knew he referred to my virginity.
"Important for me?" I pushed myself into a sitting position, holding the blanket
to my breasts "Wasn't important for you?" I felt hurt. Raidon cupped my face.
"Of course it was important for me. You have no idea what it means to me to be y
our first" he kissed my forehead and leaned back to look into my eyes "I'm so lu
cky. I hope to be your first and your last because I will never let you go" I sm
iled at his sweet words.
"I feel so silly" I cleaned the tears off my face. Raidon gave me a comforting l
ook.
"Yeah, you may be a little silly sometimes" he teased.
"I'm thirsty" I said feeling my dry throat.
"Me too. I'll be right back" he said kissing my forehead.
He stood up, got some pants on and went to look for some drinks.
I decided to get his shirt on me. I had always wanted to do that, I had seen it
in movies. I laughed at myself while I was getting Raidon's shirt on. I was butt
oning it when the door went opened.
"Raidon...I was-" Kaito stopped talking when his eyes met mine.
"Hey!" I screamed trying to cover my bare legs.
"Oh... I'm sorry...I-"
"Close your eyes" I demanded feeling completely embarrassed. Kaito gave his back
to me.
"I didn't know... I'm sorry" he kept apologizing.
I looked around in an useless attempt to find my clothes. I spotted them beside
the bed.
"I should go" Kaito said walking to the door but when he was about to cross it,
a tall woman appeared in front of him. She was stunning, blonde curled hair was
falling in cascade down her shoulders. She had blue intense eyes, and small fact
ions. She was wearing a fancy short white dress and heels. I remembered her face
; she was the blonde haired girl I had seen on Raidon's phone screen when I was
getting to know him, weeks ago.
"Where is he?" she asked sounding urgent. The woman had a melody voice.
"He's not here" Kaito said pushing her out.
"Who is she?" the woman pointed me.
"I'm-"
"She's-" Kaito and I spoke at the same time.
"Don't tell me she's his new toy" I felt completely hurt by her cold words.
"Hey! I'm right here!" I protested feeling insulted.
"You shut up, whore!" she was yelling now.
That was it. I was pissed now.
"Laura, you need to calm down" Kaito said pushing her back.
"No, I can't believe this. Raidon would never date such a cheap whore with no cl
ass"
"You don't even know me!" I screamed at her, she kept calling me things without
even knowing me.
"I don't need to"
"Who are you?" I asked confused.
She smiled at me raising her hand; a golden ring was on it.
"I'm Raidon's fiance" those three words were a shot to my heart.

&Chapter 20 &
- The Truth -
"What?" I managed to utter, feeling my breath caught inside my lungs.
"You heard me" The blonde girl stated smirking at me. I couldn't breath, I could
n't move. She had to be lying; Raidon couldn't be...
engaged...
The word brought tears to my eyes but I held them back. I still had my pride.
"Alyssa..." Kaito started with a sad tone.
"Don't" I swallow trying to control myself.
"Why are you still here? Shoo! Little slut" the girl added smiling at me.
I needed to breathe; my lungs were burning for the lack of air. But I knew that
If I breathed, I would let my tears fall.
"I need to get out of here" I said taking a breath, a tear rolled down my cheek
but I wiped it quickly.
I started my way to the door and crossed it passing the girl fast. I just needed
to get out...
"Alyssa! Wait!" Kaito's voice said from behind but I had to keep going.
I went downstairs feeling the wood under my bare feet. I had to get out of that
place. I just couldn't be there... I reached the principal door and opened it. I
crossed and closed it behind me resting my back on it.
'I'm Raidon's fianc' those words were burning me. My heart was broken; I could fee
l a hole in my chest. I ran away from the house, the sun was hiding among dark c
louds. I passed the gardens, noticing the stares of the servants. I could not ca
re less.
By the time I arrived to the gate, I was breathing heavily.
"Miss?" a guard asked evaluating me "Are you ok?"
"Open the door" I ordered trying to take some breaths.
"But-"
"Open the fucking door!" I couldn't stay there any longer. The guard seemed surp
rise but nodded his head opening the gate for me.
As soon as I was out, I started running on the highway; the pavement was hurting
my bare feet.
There were woods surrounding the road. I stopped running because my body was exh
austed. I got a little inside the woods, I didn't want anyone to see me. I fell
on my knees, letting the pain out.
"Ah!" I cried squeezing the ground under me.
Tears started rolling down my cheeks freely.
How could he have done that to me?
I had loved him.
I had trusted him.
I had given everything to him. I could still feel his hands on me, his lips on m
ine. I shook my head crying.
'I'm Raidon's fiance' Oh God... how much it hurt.
I cried...
...for seconds
...for minutes
...for hours.
I lost notion of time. Every memory of him hurt me as hell.
A cold breeze brushed my hair and my bare legs. I looked down realizing I was on
ly wearing Raidon's shirt, it barely covered my body. I stood up feeling my legs
shaking, I felt so weak. I tried to control my sobs but it was useless.
I started walking aside the road. A thunder made me look up. The once blue beaut
iful sky was now completely darkened by notorious clouds.
"Great" I whispered to myself.
Rain started falling on me, getting me wet in just few seconds. The shirt was ge
tting stuck to my body, revealing my curves. My feet were hurting me, it was a l
onely road. I had seen three cars passed but every time I sensed one coming, I g
ot in the woods in case it was Raidon. I didn't care anymore; I kept walking whi
le cars were passing me. I just needed to get to the next gas station to call Al
ex so he could come for me because I stupidly left my cell phone at Raidon's hou
se. My sobs had finally stopped but my head hurt for all the crying.
"Hey!" a scream got my attention. I had been so submerged in my thoughts that i
hadn't notice there was truck beside me, moving forward every time I took a step
. A blond boy was driving, he narrowed his big blue eyes observing me "Are you o
k?" his question made me smile sarcastically.
"What do you think?" sarcasm flew in me when I was upset.
"Stupid question, right?" he gave me a big smile, showing his perfect set of whi
te teeth. Holes were formed on his cheeks when he smiled "Do you need a ride?" c
oncern was plastered on his face.
"No" I focused my gaze to the front, ignoring him.
"I'm not psycho or a rapist, I promise" his voice was soft.
"Believe me, there's no physical hurt you can cause me that can get even closed
to this pain I feel inside me" I didn't know why I said that to a completely str
anger. He remained in silence.
"I will just give you a ride"
"I don't need it" I stated bitterly.
"This is a dangerous road. It's too lonely and well, you are..." he cleared his
throat "half naked" I felt the blood going on my cheeks as I was blushing.
"I-" A horn interrupted me. I looked back to watch Raidon's car parking behind t
he truck "Oh no" I whispered, my heart started pounding with strength; I could f
eel it in my ears and throat.
The beautiful man I used to love stepped out of his car. He was shirtless, his m
uscles looked so defined.
"Ally!" he screamed through the rain. He got wet in just few seconds, his dark h
air sticking to his pale face.
"No" I acted by instinct. I opened the trunks door and jumped inside leaving Rai
don's call behind outside "Go go go!" I stated to the blond boy.
"What-"
"Just move!" I screamed desperate observing Raidon coming towards us. The boy l
istened to my request and started driving. Raidon and his car were soon left beh
ind us.
I sighed in relief. But the image of how sexy Raidon looked under the rain was t
ormenting me.
The blond boy coughed, reminding me he was there.
"Oh I'm sorry... I just..."
"It's ok" he glanced at me.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have-"
"It's ok," he interrupted smiling, keeping his eyes on the road "He was your...?
"
"Boy-" I stopped to correct myself "Ex-boyfriend"
"Oh I see" he glanced at me with the corner of his eye "I was just making sure h
e wasn't a killer or something. You should have seen the fear on your face when
you saw him" a smile was formed on his lips alone with the holes on his cheeks.
He was really handsome, I must admit.
I remained in silence for a few seconds. I focused on the trees passing fast bes
ide us.
The blond boy coughed like he was trying to get my attention.
"Where do you live?" he asked casually. Right, he was giving me a ride home and
he was a total stranger of course he didn't know my address. I explained him how
to get to my neighborhood and my street. He just nodded and kept driving.
My mind was a mess. I felt in a nightmare, few hours ago I had been the happiest
girl on Earth and now I was just the opposite. I wondered how quick things can
change.
"May I ask your name?" the boy's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Uh... Alyssa. What's yours?"
"Brandon" he replied softly.
"Nice to meet you, Brandon" I said politely.
After few minutes we were in front of my house.
"Well" I said deeply ashamed. I had not only invaded this boy's trunk but also g
ot wet the inside of it "I'm sorry again, I-"
"It's fine. Stop apologizing" he twisted a smile. He was really charming "It's a
shame we have to meet in such an unfortunate circumstances"
"I guess it is" I smiled back at him. I opened the trunks door.
"Alyssa?" His call made me turn my head to him again.
"Huh?"
"May I ask for your number?"
I was about to say no when I remembered what Raidon had done to me.
"Sure" I gave him my house number because my cell phone was at Raidon's place.
I got off the truck waving my hand at Brandon. I started my way through my mothe
r's garden.
A familiar horn sounded behind me.
I didn't need to turn to know it was Raidon's car parking in front of my house.
I heard a car's door being closed and then footsteps coming from behind.
"Ally" his soft but demanding voice whispered behind me. I didn't want to see hi
m so I remained still "Ally, please. Just listen to me" I had so much anger and
dissapointment on me that I couldn't utter a word "Ally" he grabbed by my arm an
d turned me to him. I slapped his hand with force.
"Don't touch me" I sounded as serious as I was. But as soon as I met his dark ey
es, my heart skipped a beat. He was still wet and shirtless, his hair stuck to h
is pale face "I have listened enough"
"I'm sor-"
"Don't! Don't you dare to say you're sorry! because those words are meanless com
ing from you in this moment"
"I love you, I do... I just-"
"You love me? I don't think you actually know what true love is"
"Just listen to me. Laura-"
"Shut up!" the only mention of her name, coming from him made my stomach twist i
n jealousy.
"She's-"
"Your fiance?"
"No, I mean, yes she was but-"
"But what? Could you please just leave?"
"I can't. I refuse to lose you" he extended his hand to me, in hope of caressing
my face but I slapped it hard.
"Don't touch me" I repeated stepping back.
"She was my fiance but not anymore. We broke up months ago" I frowned as my heart
was beating in hope; in hope the man I loved was telling the truth.
"She said she was your fiance"
"She was but not now. I'm with you now" He took a step towards me.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I just-"
"Why did you lie to me?"
"I didn't lie; I just omitted telling you that"
"Omission is lying, Raidon. When were you going to tell me you have been engaged
?"
"I just thought it wasn't a big deal"
"The hell it is. Marriage, we are talking about getting married. You must have l
oved her to want to share the rest of your life with her and you're telling me t
hat was just few months ago. Do you still love her?" I asked completely scared o
f the answer.
Raidon remained in silence, looking right into my eyes.
"I don't. I love you"
"Do you still have feelings for her?" I evaluated his reaction "Please, be hones
t with me"
"I don't know. She was my girlfriend for three years but that's over. I'm with y
ou now"
I looked away feeling completely sad. I had just found out that maybe my boyfrie
nd had thought about another girl while I was with him. That killed me.
"You should have been honest with before we started this" tears were filling my
eyes.
"I know I'm sorry"
"Don't be" a tear rolled down my cheek.
"Don't cry, please" he took a step towards me but I just raised my hand to put i
t on his chest as a sign to stop.
"Don't"
"I love you, Ally. Please..."
"I can't be with you" I stated while more tears kept rolling down my cheeks.
"Don't do this..." I sensed the sadness on his voice.
"I can't be with you knowing you still have feelings for someone else. I just ca
n't"
"I don't love her anymore"
"But you still have some feelings for her and that's enough for me to stay away"
I felt how my heart was being broken into thousands of pieces as I spoke.
"Ally..."
"I think we should..." I couldn't say it.
"No no no" he held my face with both hands "Look at me" I met his gaze. Desperat
ion was plastered on his face "Don't leave me. She is in the past now, you are m
y present and my future"
"She is in the past? Why did you have her picture on your cell phone when I was
getting to know you?"
Raidon seemed surprise by my question.
"Please, be honest with me" I added.
"I... she and I had just broken up and I hadn't been able to remove her picture
from my cell phone" realization hit me with force.
"You were in the club that night because you were trying to forget her, weren't
you?"
"I..."
"That's why you tried to pay to have sex with me, you wanted to use me to forget
her"
"I... yes, that was my intention at the beggining but-"
"Oh my God" i stepped back completely hurt.
"But then I found myself interested on you and the more I knew about you, the mo
re I liked you. I ended falling in love with you and thats the truth"
"The truth? oh please! I feel so stupid now. I opened my heart to you! I have be
en nothing but honest to you. I love you and I even gave you my virginity, that
is the truth"
"And you have no idea how lucky I feel for having you"
"You don't have me anymore. Please just leave"
"Ally, don't do this to me. I know I should have told you those things but-"
"Yes, you should have because now you lost me" I pretended to be cold but deep d
own, I was dying.
"Don't say that"
"Please, just go, Raidon. We are done"
"No, I can't accept that. We both love each other and I know i made a mistake bu
t we can work things up" i bit my lower lip not to hug him. He looked so scared
of losing me.
"Please, go" my lower lip quivered as a tear was rolling down my cheek.
"No, Ally" his red lips said my name slowly.
I turned around letting the tears roll freely. I felt two strong arms being wrap
ped around me from behind. Raidon embraced me with force, burying his face on my
neck. His closeness sent shivers through me.
"Raidon..."
"No" he said shaking his head.
"You have to let me go"
"I can't" his voice sounded so sad. I needed strength not to cry aloud on his ar
ms. I held myself back "Please, forgive me. Please..."
He turned me around and held my face with both hands. I felt his breath on my fa
ce while he was leaning to me.
"Please, don't" I begged. I knew that if my lips touched his, it would hurt me m
ore when he left.
"Ally" he whispered and his lips were on mine. As soon as I felt the softness of
them, I gave him. I tasted the saltiness of my tears on the kiss. Tears rolled
down my cheeks desperately.
His lips tasted to desperation and hurt. It was just too painful to feel him kno
wing I was going to lose him.
It was our farewell kiss.
I stepped back whipping my tears away.
Raidon opened his mouth to speak but I interrupted him.
"Just go"
"Ally I-"
"Ally?" Alex's voice said from behind us. I turned around to see him on the door
frame with an apple on his hand and a knife on the other "What the hell?" he exc
laimed evaluating me. Anger filled his face in just a few seconds.
"Alex-"
"What the hell did you do to her?" he took big steps towards us.
"Alex he-"
"You are a dead man!" Alex raised his hand with the knife.
"No!" I screamed as loud as I could.

The Stripper

Chapter 21

Tears



"No!" I screamed watching my brother trying to stab Raidon "Alex!" everything ha
ppened so fast. Raidon stepped back, in a useless intend to dodge my brother.
"You are a dead man!" Alex screamed, rage plastered on his face. My brother was
the most amazing guy on Earth but he was extremely impulsive.
Even when everything was happening so fast, I was watching in slow motion. Alex
buried the knife on Raidon's stomach in a quick move.
"No!!!" I jumped to Alex, wrapping my arms around his waist. I pulled him away
from Raidon, who fell back landing on his ass.
"Let go off me!" Alex angered tone exclaimed while he was releasing himself fro
m my grab.
"Alex! Stop! He didn't do anything!" I pushed him on his chest, looking into hi
s eyes.
"What? Look at you! He definitely did something"
"Calm down!" I pushed my brother away, and turned to Raidon who was sitting on
the ground...
Oh
My
God...
Raidon was bleeding. A wound on his stomach was releasing big quantities of blo
od, deep crimson blood.
"Ally..." he whispered softly, approaching his hand to cover the wound. His han
d was full of blood in just a second.
"Oh no... Alex what have you done?!" I knelt beside Raidon, and held his face w
ith both hands "I am so sorry" I said honestly "Call 911!" I screamed desperatel
y to Alex, who was paralyzed few meters away. He was still holding his knife "Al
ex! Move!"
"I thought... I am..."
"Wake up! Call 911 now!" I was desperate.
"I am sorry... I..." the knife fell from his hand, producing a metallic sound w
hen it hit the floor.
"We don't have time for this! Move! Now!" I was losing my mind. Alex snapped ou
t of his trance and started dialing on his phone.
"Raidon..." I whispered looking into his eyes.
"Ally, we can take him in my car" Alex explained running to the garage. I had b
een so submerged in my worry that I had completely forgot my brother had a car.
"I feel dizzy" Raidon stated holding my hand. I looked back at him, tears welli
ng up my eyes.


"You will be ok" I said holding my tears back. I couldn't believe how quickly th
is situation had changed. Fear ran coldly through my veins, Raidon had to be alr
ight. the only thought of him, being... I couldn't even say the word.
I heard my brother's car engine, then his parked in front of my house.
"Raidon, you have to stand up" I said getting my hands under his arms, trying t
o help him.
"I will help with that" Alex said approaching to us. Concern and regret were ob
vious on his facial expression.
We took Raidon inside the car carefully. We didn't want him to lose any more bl
ood, because I knew the loss of it could end my boyfriend's life. I shook my hea
d to remove that thought.
Raidon and I were on the back seat while Alex started driving fast. Raidon was
resting his head on my legs. His hand remained pressed on his wound. I caressed
his black hair; he looked up at me, his mesmerizing dark eyes meeting mine. He g
rimaced in pain and that was it, I couldn't held myself anymore. Tears started l
eaving my eyes, rolling down my cheeks.
"Don't cry" he whispered through his dry lips. He was so pale.
"I'm sorry" I managed to say through sobs.
"It's not-" he coughed desperately. Every time he coughed, his wound would rele
ase more blood.
"Raidon?" I asked scared. He stopped coughing and smiled at me.
"I'm..." his eyelids were half closed.
"Stay with me, please" I begged desperate "Don't close your eyes" I could sense
my heartbeats on my ears and throat.
He gave me a sad smile. I was sobbing without control.
"GO FASTER!" I screamed at my brother.
"Ally, I'm so sorry I-" I interrupted my brother.
"This is not the best time for this" my voice sounded weakly broken "Just drive
"
"Ally..." Raidon squeezed my hand softly. I looked down at him, his breathing w
as so weak.
"We are about to get to the hospital. You will be ok, I promise" salty tears we
re getting my lips wet "I promise" I repeated, like if saying it, would make it
happen.
"If I don't make it-"

I put my finger on his lips, stopping him.
"Don't even say it" I said wiping my tears.
"We are here!" Alex announced and i looked around, we were in the emergency entr
y of the Saint John Hospital
"Raidon we are here!" I exclaimed looking down at him but big was my surprise to
find him unconscious "Raidon?" I didn't even know if he was breathing.
oh my God... oh my God...
"Alex!" I screamed panicked.
"What?" he looked back at us, noticing Raidon's closed eyes "Holy shit!" my brot
her stepped out of the car and opened my door.
"Help!" I screamed desperate. Some nurses who were near the entry heard my screa
m and came to help "Raidon! Raidon... please... please open your eyes! Open your
eyes" his face remained deadly pale and he was so cold.
I couldn't breathe... I couldn't speak, not even when the nurses came and took R
aidon from me, not even when I was standing in front of the entry, watching how
my boyfriend was taken inside the hospital.
"Ally?" I could hear Alex's voice.
My lower lip began quivering while tears kept flowing down my face.
"Miss?" more and more voices kept trying to get my attention but i couldn't spea
k.
He couldn't be dead...
He couldn't be dead...
I kept repeating that over and over inside my head. Memories of him, rushed into
my mind leaving me breathless.
Our first meeting... I would never forget his penetrating stare while i was danc
ing. He had been so arrogant that night. He had the ability to cause so many thi
ngs on me by only looking at me.
Oh Raidon...
He had made mistakes, but they looked so meaningless in this moment, when his li
fe was on risk.
Someone was shaking me by my shoulders but I just kept crying silently. This had
been such a terrible afternoon, so many things had happened. So many emotions w
ere involved that I couldn't speak.
I was mute. I wanted to speak, to ask for Raidon but i wasn't ready for the answ
er.
What if he was dead? What if he bleed out to death?
What would I do? The only thought made my stomach twist. I fought not to throw u
p.
"She's in shock" someone stated around me but i kept staring randomly up.
I felt a pinch on my arm and then my sight became blurred.
"Raidon" that was the last thing I whispered before falling into darkness.
3 hours later.
My eyes felt so heavy. I forced my eyelids opened and blinked while my eyes were
getting used to the light.
There was so much white...
Where was I?
I frowned when I looked aside and saw a needle buried on my wrist's vein. The ro
om was empty, my head hurt me a little while I was trying to remember where I wa
s.
Memories came to me in a rush... leaving me breathless.
Raidon...
Sex...
Raidon's fiance...
Rain...
Brandon...
the break up...
Alex...
Knife
Blood..
Death...
"Ah!" I screamed trying to breath.
A nurse came in, running to me.
"Miss, calm down"
"Raidon... where is he?" I pushed myself in a sitting position. I tried to get
up but the nurse pushed me back.
"You have to rest"
"No no... Where is he? Please don't tell me... he's..." I couldn't say it. Tear
s blurred my sight.
"If you don't calm down. We will have to sedate you again"
"But you don't understand! i need to know! please, tell me he is alright... jus
t please"
"I'm not authorized to give that information since I'm not in charge of that pa
tient"
"But you have to know if he is alive... please don't be insensitive" tears roll
ed freely down my face "i love him, please"
"Ally?" I turned my head to my brother, who stood still on the doorframe.
"Alex... where is he?" I pushed the nurse away and took the needle out my vein,
it hurt me but I didn't care.
"Ally you have to calm down, you had an emotional breakdown" Alex was avoiding
my question and that brought more tears to my eyes.
"Breakdown my ass! Where is he?!!" my voice broke.
"Miss, you are bleeding" the nurse said and I realized she was right, since i h
ad taken the need out abruptly my wrist was stained with blood.
"Let me help you with that" the nurse held my hand, getting a bandage on my wris
t.
I couldn't stop crying.
"Alex..." I stared at my brother. I needed to know.
"He's..." my brother cleared his throat.
No... No... No...
"He is-"
"Dead" a female voice interrupted him. I looked at the source of that voice to f
ind...
"Laura" I greeted bitterly. Wait... wait... she said Raidon was... No... No...
"Who the hell are you?" Alex asked Laura.
"No... no... no" I started to mumble moving backwards.
"Ally..." Alex's voice seemed to be so far away. Raidon was dead...
he was... dead.
"Ally! Calm down!" Alex held me by my shoulders and then cupped my face "look at
me" i met his gaze but only got to see a blurring face because of my tears "He
is alive"
What?
"He is?" hope invaded every single piece of me. It was like life had started ma
king sense again.
"Yes, he is"
"You are not lying, aren't you?" I asked scared.
"No" he stated shaking his head.
"But she said..." I pointed behind my brother to Laura.
"He is dead for you, little whore. His parents are hating you right now" his pa
rents?
"Raidon's parents?" I asked confused.
"Yes" Alex replied and turned to Laura "Could you please get the fuck out of he
re?! I don't know you but if you call my sister a whore again, you will be the s
econd person I stab today" Laura seemed shocked and walked away.
"Where is he? I have to see him" I said wiping my tears.
"He is sedated now"
"Are his parents here?"
"Yes, they are in the corridor. I told them to wait there, I wanted to talk to
you first"
"And I'm sure we can talk later but right now, I want to see Raidon"
"They want to put me in jail for what I did"
"What? Who?" I asked surprise.
"Raidon's parents"
"But, how did they know you were..."
"I told them. I had to be honest" my brother looked down. I knew that attitude,
he was feeling guilty.
"I will talk to them" I started walking to the door but Alex grabbed me by my a
rm.

"Don't. They are right, Ally. I should pay for what I did"
"What? No! It was an accident. You didn't mean to hurt anyone" I explained.
"I feel terrible"
"It is ok, Alex. It was not your fault. You just misunderstood the situation, y
ou were just trying to protect me" I said caressing his face.
"Don't you hate me?"
"of course not. I could never hate you, you are my brother" I said smiling.
"What if Raidon had died, you would hate me, wouldn't you?"
"I don't know" I replied honestly "Please, take me to Raidon" my brother nodded
and started walking to the door. I followed him in silence.
I realized I wasn't wearing Raidon shirt anymore, I had some weird dress from t
he hospital.
Once we stepped out the room, I spotted Kaito standing beside Raidon's parents.
They looked extremely upset. I sighed, this was not going to be easy.
"Alyssa" Kaito stepped towards me, concern on his face "Are you ok?"
"Not really" I was focused on Raidon's mother, who met my gaze and told somethi
ng to her husband.
"Alyssa" Mr. Kawasaki exclaimed walking to me, stopping beside Kaito "can we ta
lk to you for a minute?"
"I'm sorry but no. My priority now is Raidon. Alex, let's go"

Mrs. Kawasaki stood in silence for a second.
"I'm afraid you can't do that right now" Raiko, Raidon's dad, said seriously.
"Why not?"
"My son is on that bed because of you. I refuse to let you see him now"
"What?" I was shocked.
"She had nothing to do with this. It was my entire fault" Alex said in my defens
e.
"Why would I believe you? You stabbed my son" Raiko stated rudely.
"I don't mean to disrespect you" I looked at Eva, Raidon's mom and then to Raiko
"But I'm going to see my boyfriend whether you like or not" I gave them my back
and started walking away, Alex leading me because I didn't know where Raidon's
room was.
"We have given nurses and doctors specific orders of not letting you in" Raiko's
voice said from behind. I stopped walking.
I turned to him.
"What would you do that? I thought you like me" I was hurt.
"And we did but that was before knowing you can from a broken family and have a
drug addict brother who seems to be a criminal. I don't want my son around that
kind of people" wow, this man could say hurtful words without shame.
"It is Raidon's choice not yours" I replied feeling awful. I was emotional weak
at that moment.
"Uncle..." Kaito tried to say something.
"Be silent, Kaito" Eva ordered and he just looked away.
I didn't want to keep having that conversation; I just wanted to see Raidon.
"Alex, let's go" I said turning on my feet and starting to follow my brother.
After walking for few minutes, Alex pointed me the door to the room where i assu
med Raidon was. I spotted two nurses watching the door.
"Can you believe it? Those nurses are watching the door! Raidon's parents are re
ally controlling" Alex exclaimed in disbelief.
"Tell me about it" I replied biting my lower lip "I need to see him, Alex"
"hmm do you want to entertain the nurses? I can be charming"
"I don't think that will work. Besides, there are two of them you may entertain
one but what about the other?" I asked but my brother was already heading to the
m "Alex!"

I whispered but it was too late, my brother was already talking to the nurses. I
sighed watching the scene.
I must admit, Alex was handsome. His dirty blonde hair looked perfect and his e
yes had a glint that made them look like a combination of blue and green. He had
that kind of cute baby face that makes you want to hug him and protect him. But
he also had that bad boy smirk that could leave you breathless. It was a killer
combination for such a muscled boy.
I realized my brother's technique was working. The nurses kept stepping away fr
om the door to talk to him.
'This is my chance' I said walking to the door quickly and opening it in a fast
move. I stepped back closing the door behind me, trying not to produce a sound.

"Yes!" I stated taking a deep breath. I looked up and froze. Raidon was lying o
n a bed, white sheets covering half of his body. I saw a white bandage on his st
omach; right on the place the knife had hurt him. He still looked pale. His mess
y dark hair seemed to be darker surrounded by all that white. He remained unmovi
ng and breathing softly. He was unconscious.
I stepped towards him and stopped beside his bed.
"Raidon..." I whispered leaning to him. I kissed his forehead, feeling warm tea
rs rolling down my cheeks.
When you love someone, it hurts you so much to see him like this. You don't wan
t the people you love to suffer.
"I'm sorry" I was being completely honest. I never wanted him to go through thi
s.
I held his cold hand and felt him squeeze mine weakly.
"Raidon?" I called him watching his eyelids moving a little. Oh please wake up.
.. i said inside my mind.
Suddenly, I heard the door behind me being opened. i looked back surprise.
"There she is!" Raidon's dad said and I felt two strong arms holding mine, pull
ing me back.
"No!" I exclaimed losing all contact with Raidon.
"Take her out!" Raiko ordered to the hospital guards.
"No! Raidon!" he had to weak up, please...
Raidon let go a moan of pain but his eyes were still closed.

Wake up! Wake up! That phrase kept spinning inside my head.
The guards pulled me back until I was crossing the door. I held myself against t
he doorframe.
I saw Raidon opening his eyes slowly, I was about to scream but the guard covere
d my mouth and pulled me completely out of the room.
The door was closed on my face.

More suprises
I was shock standing in front of Raidon's door. I had been pushed out like a cr
iminal, the guards were still holding me by my arms. How could Raidon's parents
do this?
The guards pulled me back until I was a few meters away from the door.
"Ally?" Alex asked appearing in front of me. He looked at the guards "What the h
ell are you doing? Put your hands off my sister" and the guards did but not befo
re warning me.
"Stay away from this room, Miss. If we find her around here again we will get yo
u out of this part of the hospital" one of them said seriously. He was bold and
muscled.
"What?" I was really upset now
"You have no right to do that, he is my-"
"We are only following orders, Miss. You have to stay away from this room until
the boy is transferred" the other guard added.
"Transferred?" I frowned.
The bold guard gave a killer look to his partner.
"You couldn't keep your mouth shut, could you?" he asked shaking his head.
"Please" I begged "He's being transferred where?"
"I'm sorry. We are not authorized to give that-"
"He is being transferred to a clinic" the nice guard whispered "But we don't kno
w the name"
"What the hell are you doing, Marshall? Are you trying to lose your job?" the bo
ld guard exclaimed freaking out.
"Oh come on, Russell. She is obviously a nice girl, you can tell that by only lo
oking at her. Those Japanese parents are the crazies here" Marshall added pointi
ng to Raidon's door.
Russell sighed in frustration "Let's go, now"
I looked at Marshall and smiled.
"Thank you" I said honestly. Marshall just smiled back and followed his partner.

"Miss Lambert?" Someone called me from behind. I turned around to see a tall wom
an, she was wearing glasses, which barely covered her gray eyes. She had a perfe
ct pony tale. I noticed she was holding some files. She was obviously a doctor.

"Yes?" I asked confused. Alex stood still beside me.
"My name is Lily. I'm the hospital's psychologist" I frowned.
"So?" I did not mean to sound rude but I was confused.
"Could you come with me?" she asked smiling at me sweetly. She was charming, I m
ust admit.
"What for?" I had to ask.
"We will just have a little talk if that's ok with you"
"I'm sorry but I'm busy right now, I-"
"Just five minutes, I promise" This woman was dangerously charming. The way she
looked at people, with such a sweetness.
Alex and I shared gazes.
"Is this about her break down?" Alex asked suddenly.
"You are...?" The woman questioned raising an eyebrow.
"Alex, I'm her brother"
"Nice to meet you, Alex" She extended her hand politely to him. Alex glanced at
me and then shook her hand quickly "I will just have a little talk to your siste
r. Five minutes, it's a promise" she gave her a warm gesture.
"Ok" I accepted forcing a smile.
"Follow me" she turned on her high heels and started walking.
"Alex, watch the door. if you see Raidon being taken out, you just let me know,
ok?" Alex nodded his head. I followed the elegant woman through the long corrido
r.
She stopped in front of a wooden door. it looked like an office to me. We went i
nside in silence, she offered me a chair.
"Get comfortable" she smiled while she was sitting on another chair in front of
me. I was completely uncomfortable, I didn't know that woman so what would she w
ant to talk about with me?
"Alyssa, that is your name, right?"
"Yes"
"Tell me about you"

"I... what do you want to know?"
"Anything you want to tell me"
"Well, I'm 19 years old. I live with mom and brother, I'm studying to be a lawye
r" i paused looking at the ceiling "I don't know what else to tell you"
"Is there anything bothering right now? Making you sad? Making you to be stresse
d?" I took some time to answer.
"Err... It was a hard day for me"
"Why?"
"I... lots of things happened today"
"Could you tell me what happened?"
"I... it is too complicated" I said looking down.
"Alyssa, I'm here to listen. Nothing is too complicated, just tell me"
I sighed.
"Hmm... listen, doctor-"
"Call me Lily"
"Ok, Lily. I'm not crazy, ok? So, there's no need for this"
"I never said you were crazy, Alyssa"
"The way you're acting says it all" I stated bothered.
"I'm just trying to help"
"Well, I don't your help. I'm fine"
"No, Alyssa.You are not fine, to have a break down a person has to be pushed to
his limits, your mind is warning you. You need to speak and let all those negati
ve feelings go"
"I have no idea what you're talking about"
"Don't hold your feelings back, you're just hurting yourself"
"I'm not holding anything back. IM fine"
"Really?" She asked seriously "Are you sure?" I swallowed.
"Yes" I lied "I am sure. I just had a bad day and that's all"
"Ally, you won't be allowed to leave the hospital until I authorize it. I'm resp
onsible for you now"

"What?" I got up surprise.
"As your doctor, I have to make sure you're ok before you leave"
"You can have me here by force. That is illegal" I stated remembering my studies
.
"No, it's not and you know it. A patient cannot leave the hospital until his doc
tor authorizes it" I knew she was right.
"I can't stay here" I said stepping back.
"Just talk to me and I will consider letting you go"
"Consider?"
"Alyssa"
"I can't do this right now. I have important things to do, I'm sorry" I opened t
he door but stopped surprise observing two nurses standing there.
"Sedate her" The doctor behind me ordered.
"What? No! No... Wait..." the nurses held me by my arms. I struggled like a craz
y person "Alex!" I screamed in hope of my brother hearing me.
I spotted him running towards us.
"Let her go!" Alex pushed the nurses away.
"Alex, your sister needs help" the doctor said, standing at the door frame.
"Help my ass. Ally, let's go" he held my hand and pulled me behind him. We start
ed running desperately through long white corridors. I dared to look behind and
saw guards coming to get us.
"Oh God... Alex they are behind us"
"Just run!" Alex said pulling me harder.
I was getting tired of running. My breathing was fast. I could feel my heart po
unding on my ears and throat.
Two guards appeared on our way.
"Alex" my brother punched one of the face and pushed the other away.
"Move, Ally!" he screamed and kept running. I caught him up and smiled when I sa
w a glass door in front of us. That entry would lead us to the parking.
We crossed the door and kept running until we got to Alex's car. My brother got
inside starting the engine, I got on the drivers seat quickly.
"Go go go!" I exclaimed watching the guards coming towards us. Alex drove fast,
getting us out of the parking.
I was still breathing fast, my lungs were fighting to get sufficient air after s
o much running.
"That was close" I managed to whisper, resting my head on the seat.
"What the hell was all that?" Alex asked focused on the road.
"I don't know. I just felt in a horror movie where the protagonist is taken to a
mental institution even when she's not crazy" I smiled at my own bad joke.
"I bet Raidon's parents had something to do with that"
"I agree" I stated remembering Raidon.
"Are you ok?" Alex glanced at me.
"Yes, I just... I really wanted to see him. I need it"
"I know. we will find a way, I promise" Alex held my hand and squeezed it softly
"Everything is going to be alright, ok?"
"Ok"
When we finally got home, it was already dark. My mom was standing in front of t
he principal door. Her arms folded across her chest.
"Alyssa and Alexander Lambert" oh oh, we were in trouble. my mother never used o
ur full name unless she was really angry "Inside, now"
Alex and I shared gazes and walked inside swallowing hard. Once we were in the l
iving room, our mother put her hands on her waist.
"Where the hell were you?! I was worried no... no worried is not the exact adjec
tive. I was desperate! My fingers hurt for all the times I called you but neithe
r of you answer the damned cell phone"
"Mom..."
"And then I go outside and I find blood on my garden. Blood!! and my two childre
n are nowhere to be found"
"We are sorry" Alex said looking down.
"You are sorry?! That is all you have to say?!"
"Mom, I understand you're upset. We had a really bad day. just let us explain" m
y mother stared at me and nodded.
"Explain then" she stated sitting on the couch. After telling my mother the wh
ole story, I was really thristy. The running and now the talking had not really
helped my sore throat. My mother was in shocked, she started asking Alex about t
he knife and why he had done that. I just felt like I could skip that part so I
went to the kitchen, some refreshing water would be just fine.
I drank three glasses of water quickly. I leaned against the fridge after clos
ing it. What a day! I was staring at the glass on my hand while thinking about R
aidon. Would he try to contact me after what happened?
What was he thinking right now?
What would his parents tell him about me?
I sighed in frustration. The only thought of his parents made me to clench my f
ists in anger. How could they be so heartless? What was I going to do now? Obvio
usly, I needed to talk to Raidon but how? I didn't even know the name of clinic
he was going to be transfer to. Maybe, I could talk to Kaito, he had called me s
o probably his number was registered on my cell phone. My cell phone... Arg! I
had stupidly left it in Raidon's house. I would need so time to think about a w
ay to get to Raidon but right now, my mind was exhausted. I put the glass on t
he table and decided to go listening to my brother's explanation. When I walked
into the living room, Alex was sitting beside my mother. He glanced at me and no
ticed sadness on his eyes.
"Ally, come here" my mother made a gesture for me to sit beside her so she coul
d be in the middle of Alex and me. I sat down staring at Alex, who seemed really
sad
"Ally, I'm telling your brother he needs to go to therapy"
"What?" I frowned confused "Mom-"
"Ally, listen to me. What happened today-"
"It was an accident, mom. He didn't mean it" I would defend my brother to death.

"I know that, Ally. But this is serious, your brother hurt someone" I looked do
wn "He needs to control himself, his impulsivity and rage are a dangerous combin
ation" "Rage?" I looked up to meet my mother's eyes.
"Yes, Ally. Your brother has some rage issues but hopefully with therapy that c
an be fixed"
"But mom-" "Ally, it's ok" Alex stated smiling at me "Mom is right. When I'm
angry everything lose sense to me and I just do things without thinking. I will
go to therapy"
"Are you sure?" I asked staring at him, trying to notice any sign of negation on
his face but all i got was a honest smile.
"Yes"
"Ok" I said forcing a smile. My mother embraced us tightly.
"I'm so happy you are ok" she whispered kissing my hair and then kissing Alex's
forehead "By the way, Ally" she started breaking the embrace "That running part
looked like an horror movie where the protagonist is going to be taken to a ment
al institution-"
"Even when she is not crazy" I finished for her "That was exactly what i said!"
I laughed aloud.
"Great minds think alike" Alex said sarcastically.
"You're just jealous cause you didn't get my mother's intelligence like i did"
"Right" Alex rolled his eyes. "Let's go to sleep. I'm tired" my mother stood
up and then started walking upstairs. Alex and I followed her in silence.
The next day
Tap tap tap...
"Ally!" I heard my name but it sounded so far away
"Ally!"
"What?" I screamed opening my eyes. God, I had been sleeping too much.
"Are you going to sleep forever?" Alex's voice sounded really annoying.
"Leave me alone!" that phrase reminded me of when we were kids.
"Mom says you have to eat something. It's 1 pm"
"What?!" I exclaimed pushing myself in a sitting position.
"Yes, move!" and with that i heard his footsteps getting away from my door.
I went to the bathroom and did my morning routine. I was really hungry, my sto
mach was painfully empty. I looked at my face in the mirror. God, I looked awfu
l. My eyes were red, my face was swollen for all the sleeping and I had marks of
my sheets on one of my cheeks.
"Really sexy, Ally" I stated washing my face, trying to remove that aspect of
lazy girl from my face.
After uncountable useless attempts to make my face look normal again. I decided
to give up and walked to get some jeans and a random T-shirt that said "I <3 cla
ssic music" on the front. I was going downstairs when the bell rang. My heart sk
ipped a beat, could it be...? No, no way. Raidon must have been at the clinic. M
y hope vanished leaving an empty hurtful space on my chest.
"Alex, open the door. I'm busy" my mother screamed from the kitchen. But Alex
was nowhere to be seen.
"I'll do it, mom" I stated heading to the door, and then proceed to open it so
ftly.
My mouth was opened in surprise.
"What are you doing here?" I asked confused. It was Eva, Raidon's mom.
"Hello, Alyssa" she greeted politely and then offered me a bag.
"What's that?" I had no intention of receiving anything from this woman.
"Some things you left at my house" she replied opening the bag, showing me my
clothes and my cell phone. I grasped my things and then stared at Eva.
"Does Raidon know you are here?" I had to ask.
"Yes"
"What did you tell him about me?"
"Nothing, he said you broke up with him"
"Oh" I had forgot about that "I have to talk to him"
"I'm afraid that's not possible"
"Why do you hate me? I love your son. Is it because I'm not some rich blonde?"
"No, please my husband and I are not like that"
"Then-"
"You must understand, our son got hurt, Alyssa. I admit that my husband's actio
ns are kind of rude but he is just trying to protect him"
"I love him"
"He got hurt because of you. And you broke his heart, I'm sorry but I have to be
selfish, stay away from him" she said giving me a sad smile.
"Please..."
"I'm sorry" Eva turned around and started walking to the limo waiting for her. I
closed the door and leaned against it.
My cell phone... I grabbed my cell phone and checked it a low battery sign app
eared on the screen. I tried calling Raidon but no answer. I managed to get Kai
to's number. I ran to my house's phone and started dialing the number. I was b
iting my nails, waiting for Kaito to pick up the damned cell phone.
"Hello?" hope invaded my body when I heard him.
"Kaito..."
"Hey, I-"
"Please, don't hang up"
"I am busy" I could hear voices at the background. Oh, i got it. Maybe he was wi
th Raidon's dad.
"You are with your uncle, aren't you?"
"Yes" he replied coldly.
"Is Raidon there?" I asked feeling tears on my eyes. Because I felt him so close
even when he was so far away.
"Yes" My heart skipped a beat.
"Can I talk to him?"
"Not now, I have to go"
"Kaito, please"
"I'm sorry" and he hung up while a tear was rolling down my cheek. I ran my fing
ers through my hair staring at the phone.
How much I wished to at least hear his voice. Oh Raidon... my chest was on pain,
I did not want to lose him... it would kill me. But he seemed so far away now.
My house phone rang making me to jump in surprise.
I answered quickly.
"Kaito?"
"Er... No?" an unfamiliar voice said.
"Who is this?"
"It's Brandon, I gave you a ride yesterday and-"
"Oh Brandon. Right, sorry I'm a little bit agitated"
"It's ok. So, what's up?"
"Well, I'm good. I'm about to have lunch. What about you?"
"I just got out from work. Listen, I was thinking about going to the movies this
afternoon, and I... I thought I could ask you to come with me. I mean, it's dep
ressing to go to the movies alone, right?" he was obviously nervous "I mean, if
that's ok with you"
"Oh" I took a deep breath "I don't know, is it like a date or something? Because
if it is, I'm sorry but-"
"No, it's not a date. It's a friends going out. You know to... to get to know e
ach other" he said quickly.
"Oh, ok then"
"Is that a yes?"
"Sure. It sounds fun"
"Alright. Can you give your cell phone number so you can text me your address?"

"Sure" I gave him my number and then we said bye to each other. I smiled at m
yself when we hung up, It had been fun to listen to Brandon all nervous. I got u
p from the couch and ran into my mother, who was standing there staring at me.

"Mom"
"Who is Brandon?"
"Were you listening to my conversation? That's rude, mom" I pinched her cheek.
"Hey, young lady, tell me"
"He's just some guy I met yesterday, you know the one who gave me a ride home"

"Oh, the one you described as 'charming'" I rolled my eyes.
"Drop it. Let's eat, I'm starving" my mother narrowed her eyes and walked to th
e kitchen. I followed her in silence. My cell phone vibrated making me to take
it out of my pocket to read the message. Maybe Brandon was already texting me t
o get the address. I stopped walking and breathing when I read the message.

Hi? Seriously? That was all he could say after what happened? I had found out he
had a affiance, we had broken up, he had almost died and all he wrote on a mess
age was "Hi" even though, I was kind of upset because of his cold message I didn
't know what to reply. I approached my cell phone to my face, staring at it with
out moving or knowing what to write. A thought crossed my mind: What if it wasn'
t Raidon? His parents were capable of taking his cell phone away. I pushed the r
eply button and wrote 'Hi back' and sent the message quickly. I had to make sure
it was him before saying something important.

4 minutes passed and I felt the expectation growing in me. Why was he taking so
long to reply? My cell phone vibrated, making me to jump surprise. I checked the
message quickly.
New Message
From: Raidon <3
I think it's better for us
to stay away from each
other. I won't bother you
again. Bye, Alyssa.
I felt like my heart was being pierced by thousands of needles. He could not be
serious. That couldn't be him. Raidon would never say that to me, right? I was a
bout to reply when my cell phone turned off on my eyes. Oh God, low battery! I h
ad forgotten about that. I ran upstairs desperately. Then, I opened my room's do
or violently, I needed to find my battery charger and it had to be quick.
I scanned my room, trying to remember where I had seen my charger for the last t
ime. I found it on the night table, I connected my cell phone to it but I had to
wait for a few minutes until the battery gained some power to turn the phone on
.
I sighed, falling back to my bed. I stared at the ceiling, wondering what I was
going to reply. I was sure it wasn't Raidon the one texting me but what if it wa
s? My heart would be broken, I had given myself to him, entirely. I covered my h
ead with a pillow. I needed to think with cold head. I pushed myself into a sitt
ing position, and then observed my phone on the night table. I grabbed it and tu
rned it on.
What now? What was I going to reply? Maybe I should just call him to know if it
was really him. I called him, five times but he never picked up the phone. I sig
hed frustrated. I wrote 'Is that what you really want?' and pressed the send but
ton.
After the longest 10 minutes of my life, my phone rang. I checked the screen wit
h hope but it was an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Alyssa" disappointment ran through me.
"Irony, what's up?"
"I'm at Marissa's house. We were both worried about you. We've been you calling
for hours"
"I'm sorry, I kind of lost my cell phone yesterday"
"Are you ok? You sound terrible"
"It's a long story. Did you tell my boss about my mother's state? You know, to h
ave a break from the club"
"Yes, he said he could give you five days but no more"
"Thanks, Irony"
"No problem. Listen, we were thinking about coming over your place to check on y
ou"
"It sounds good but I'm going out later"
"Oh..." Irony giggled and whispered to Marissa "She has a date with Mr. Hottie"
"Hey! it's not a date and it's not with Raidon"
"What?!" Irony exclaimed surprise.
"It's a friends going out"
"With who?"
"A guy I met yesterday, his name is Brandon"
"You naughty little girl! You're cheating on your hot boyfriend, that is so awes
ome"
"Irony!" I could hear Marissa scream at the background.
"What? Tell me everything. Is he hotter than Mr. Hottie?"
"Irony, I'm not cheating on Raidon... I just... arg! everything is so hard to ex
plain right now" I took a deep breath "Tell Marissa, I will explain everything
to her tomorrow at college"
"What about me?" Irony asked sadly.
"If you're free tomorrow's morning, you can join us at the college's coffee"
"Sounds like a plan to me" Irony sounded excited.
"I gotta get ready, see you tomorrow" I hung up and checked my phone, there were
no new messages.
I took a long, relaxing shower. While the water was falling on me, I could not s
top remembering Raidon's wet kisses and caresses from the day before. I could st
ill feel his heavy breath on my neck and his hand all over my body. How hot he l
ooked naked, I bit my lower lip getting horny. I passed my fingers around my ere
cted nipples increasing my lust, it reminded me of how Raidon had sucked my brea
sts shamelessly. I wanted more, I wanted to feel him again.
A knock on the door interrupted my lustful thoughts.
"Ally, there's a Brandon asking for you downstairs" Alex exclaimed at the other
side of the door.
"Tell him I'm getting ready" I stated finishing my shower and then wrapping a to
wel around me.
I stepped out of the bathroom and ran to my closet. What should I wear? It didn'
t matter, it was not a date, right? I put a pair of jeans on and a black top tha
t said "I <3 boys"
I brushed my straight brown hair beside my face, it got curly at the ends which
seemed pretty cool to me. I put on some light make-up and a pair of sport shoes.
I grabbed my purse, my keys and my phone and then proceed to run downstairs.
Brandon was sitting on the couch playing with his fingers, he looked pretty nerv
ous.He was wearing black pants and a white t-shirt. His blonde hair was messy an
d his big blue eyes were staring at the fireplace. I coughed to make him to noti
ce me and so he did, he stood up smiling, holes forming on his cheeks.
"Hey" he greeted nervously.
"Hi" I replied smiling back at him.
"How are you? You look better than yesterday"
"I guess I'm good, how about you?"
"All good. Shall we go?" I nodded and started walking to the door. Alex was comi
ng inside.
"Alex, tell mom, I'll be back a In a few hours"
"Fine" Alex started his way to the kitchen.
Brandon's car was parked in front of my house. Once we were inside, he started t
he engine and drove carefully.
"So, Alyssa. Let's play 'Ten facts about me' game"
"How do we play that?" I asked amused.
"Well, you have to tell ten facts about you and then I will do the same" he had
a glint on his eyes. Brandon looked like a really happy person, the kind of pers
on that would always make you laugh.
"All right, you first" I said staring at him.
"Uhm, I hate tomatoes. I love all kind of music, specially classic and rock. I l
ove thriller books where the assassin is discovered at the end. My favorite movi
e is Transformers" he chuckled "I'm really into anime"
"Really?" I asked smiling "You mean, like Sailor moon and Dragon ball Z?"
"You watched that? Those are classics" his joy was contagious.
"My brother watched them all the time when we were kids"
"Your brother rocks then" I laughed.
"Keep going" I requested.
"Hmmm I have a crush on Megan Fox. I still play video games. I sleep without a p
illow"
"Really? Isn't that uncomfortable?"
"No, not at all" he said and then continued "I love cupcakes and donuts, and I l
ove horror hard core movies"
"Those are your ten facts?" I asked chuckling.
"Your turn now" he added while we were arriving to the mall parking lot.
"Hmmm I love classic music, my favorite movie is Jeux d'enfants, it is a French
movie by the way. I hate cats but love dogs. I love dancing, it feels good"
"I have to watch you dance someday" he said naively, not knowing I actually danc
ed for living "Go on" he said finding a parking space.
"My favorite meal is spaghetti and meat. I don't like tomatoes, so we have that
in common" I smiled at him "I don't know what else to say"
"Interesting, let's get inside the mall" he stated opening his door so I did the
same.
We spent the rest of the afternoon chatting and watching a comedy movie. Brandon
was really funny and nice, he had a certain naivety that made him to look cute.

We were going out of the cinema when the remains of my pop corns fell to the flo
or.
"Oh, I'm so stupid" I exclaimed but Brandon was standing beside me laughing "Wha
t's so funny?" he pointed my t-shirt. Salt from the pop corns was decorating my
t-shirt. I shook it off trying not to laugh but I gave up.
"Let's go, salty girl" I chuckled at his comment.
My cell phone rang, I stopped walking and took it out of my purse to check the s
creen.
I froze, I didn't move or breath for a few seconds.
"Alyssa?" Brandon sounded worried.
I was staring at my cell phone's screen:
Incoming call
Raidon <3
He was calling me. I couldn't believe it. I felt nervous and completely frozen b
ut I answered, my hand shaking a little.
"Hello" I greeted nervously.
"Hey" Oh my God... Raidon's voice sent shivers through my entire body.
"What's up?" Really? That was all I could think of saying? "I mean, are you ok?"
"Yes, I'm getting better"
"I'm glad" Brandon was staring at me curious.
"Where are you?" Raidon asked all of the sudden.
"I... I...why do you ask?"
"Because I can hear noises at the background"
"oh, er... I'm at the mall"
"What are you doing there?" his voice sounded demanding as usual.
"I am... I was watching a movie"
"Alone?"
"No" I paused swallowing hard "I was with Marissa" Brandon frowned.
"Listen, Ally. We need to talk" Raidon sounded deadly serious.
"I know"
"I can't move for a couple days so we'll have to be patient"
"Ok" I said shaking.
"I just needed to hear your voice" My heart melt with that simple phrase.
"Er.." Why couldn't I say something?
"I have to go" He sounded urgent.
"Wait.. Did you send those messages a few hours ago?" I had to ask.
"What messages?" I knew it.
"Never mind. Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yes, the wound is already healing up" There was a moment of silence "I miss you
" I stopped breathing, feeling my heart pounding like crazy.
"I miss you, too" I said honestly.
"I'll try to text you later"
"Ok"
"Bye, Ally" he hung up and I felt like I was going to pass out any time. I stood
there still for a few seconds, assimilating what just happened.
"Alyssa?" Brandon's voice reminded me of his presence. He was frowning, he looke
d really confused "Is everything alright?"
"Yes" I smiled at him "Let's go"
Brandon took me home, he parked in front of my house and turned half of his body
in my direction.
"I had fun, Alyssa. Thanks for being my movie partner this afternoon"
"Hey, there's nothing to thank for, I had fun too" I said honestly.
"Listen, I have to ask"
"Ask what?"
"Why did you lie before? You know, when you were talking on the phone. Am I caus
ing you troubles with your boyfriend?"
"Oh.. no, it's just..." I paused not knowing how to explain it "It's complicated
"
"Ok I understand" he gave me a bright smile.
"Bye, Brandon" I said getting out the car. I waved my hand at Brandon while he s
tarted driving away. I walked to my house's principal door but felt someone behi
nd me. I turned on my feet.
"Good evening" a police officer said seriously.
"Good evening, what can I do for you?" I asked frowning.
"We are looking for Alexander Lambert"
"He's my brother" I stated and I spotted Alex coming out of the house.
"Ally, is there something wrong?" my brother asked observing the police officer,
who walked to him and took his handcuffs out.
"Alexander Lambert, you're under arrest for attempted murder. You have the right
to remain in silence..."
"What?" I was shocked. My mother stepped out of the house confused.
"What's going on?"
"Officer, he's innocent, he hasn't done anything" I begged trying to stop him.
"He was reported for attempted murder"
"Reported by who?" I asked surprise.
"Raidon Kawasaki"
My world froze. Raidon couldn't have done that, he just...
Oh no...

My son is not a criminal!" My mother screamed while I was holding her back. Alex
was being taken inside the police car "You can't do this!"
"Mom, mom" I held her face with both hands "Calm down, remember what the doctor
said" I reminded her of what the specialist had said about taking things slow a
nd trying not to get upset.
"I know, I know" She replied looking down "But he's my son" her voice broke.
"I understand but we are going to get him out soon" I embraced her tightly "I p
romise, mom. I promise"
I walked my mother to her room, she needed to rest. I sat on her bed, caressing
her hair.
"I'm going to fix it, ok?"
"How?"
"I don't know" I lied because I knew exactly what I was going to do "But I will
fix it" My mother sighed resting her head on the pillow.
"I'm sorry, Ally"
"What for?"
"For not being able to deal with this. I'm supposed to be your mother and take
care of you two but now I am just lying on this bed an-"
"Hey, hey" I interrupted her "It's ok, mom. You didn't choose to be sick, ok?"
my mother looked away "Mom, look at me" her eyes met mine in a second "It's ok.
I am not child anymore. I can deal with this"
"You have taken so much responsabilities at such young age"
"I am fine" I smiled widely at her "I have to go"
"Where are you going?" my mother asked while I was grabbing my stuffs and my ca
r's keys.
"To fix this" I stated walking to the door.
"Ally, be careful" I heard her say behind me.
I got out of the house and walked to my garage. I had pretended to be ok in fro
nt of my mother but inside me, it was chaos. I had this increasing anger and pow
erlessness running through my veins.
Few minutes later, I was driving fast. Where was I going?
To Raidon's house.
He and his parents were going to listen to me whether they'd like it or not. My
brother was not going to spend a night in jail; I was going to make sure of tha
t. When someone attacks a member of your family, you feel such a rage and need t
o protect him.

I made up my mind since the moment I had seen my brother being taken away from u
s. Alex did not deserve to be treated as a criminal, yes I know he made a mistak
e but he was going to go to therapy for it. He was my brother; you can't expect
me to want him in jail. I squeezed the steering wheel in anger. If Raidon though
t he was going to treat my brother like this, he was really wrong.
I took a deep breath trying to calm down. I reduced my speed; the last thing I w
anted was to have a car accident because of high speed. I looked at my eyes on t
he rear-view mirror, my make-up was intact but anger was plastered on my face. I
had not cried or even seemed upset in front of my mother but right now it was a
different story.
After the longest 30 minutes of my life, I saw the gates from Raidon's house. Th
anks God, I had a good memory otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get there.
I parked beside the gate, remaining still. This place reminded me of what had ha
ppened inside that house; how I had given myself entirely to the man I loved. Cl
osing my eyes, I let go a long sigh.
I got out of the car, and immediately a tall muscled guard walked to me.
"Can I help you?" He asked evaluating me.
"I need to speak to Raidon"
"Who are you?" I tried to mask my anger. I had to lie if I wanted to get in.
"I'm his girlfriend. You saw me the other day, remember?"
"Oh right, Miss...?"
"Lambert, but call me Alyssa"
"Ok, Alyssa. Let me announce you and then-"
"No need to do that. He's waiting for me. Just open the gate, otherwise I will t
ell him you've been rude to me" I said smiling sweetly.
"Oh" He opened the gate quickly. I could have gone inside with my car but I was
submerged in my own thoughts. I just walked to the house for a few minutes.
Once I was facing the big wooden door, I approached my hand to the bell but then
stopped for a moment 'There's no turning back. You're here already' I said to m
yself.
I took a deep breath and ringed the bell quickly. I was extremely nervous; I fel
t my heartbeats on my ears and throat. I became impatient in just a few seconds,
so I started playing with my fingers. The only thought of seeing Raidon again s
ent shivers through me, he was there... behind that closed door and that was kil
ling me.
The door went opened showing a young servant.
"May I help you?" She asked gently, showing a smile.
"I..." 'Speak!' I commanded to myself "I'm here to see Raidon"
"I'm afraid that's not possible, Miss. You are...?"
"Alyssa" I replied taking a look inside. It was really lonely.
"You weren't announced, Miss. I think you shou-" I pushed her back and got insid
e, running quickly to the stairs "Miss! What are you doing?! You can't go there!
Miss!" I went upstairs quickly, being chased by the maid. My life was so movie-
like lately "Miss!"
I got on the long corridor which leaded the way to Raidon's room. I remembered i
t perfectly.
"Miss!" Oh God, I had to keep on running. I passed doors quickly, starting to br
eath heavily. I spotted Raidon's door, I opened it and then quickly got inside l
ocking it behind me "Miss!" I heard the maid knocking the door desperately "Open
the door! I'm calling the guards" I rested my back on the door, trying to breat
h.
"Ally?" I stopped breathing, his voice made me to feel butterflies inside my sto
mach. My entire body started shaking while I was looking up. There he was... sit
ting on his bed. He was shirtless, only wearing a white bandage around his stoma
ch. His defined chest and abs were visible, leaving me breathless. I looked up t
o meet his eyes, How could I forget how beautiful he was? His dark hair was mess
y, covering part of his forehead and ears. His full lips were red and wet, invit
ing me to kiss them until the day of my death.
My anger was gone...
All I wanted to do in that moment was to embrace him and kiss him but I held mys
elf back. I looked away, trying to focus. I had gone there for a reason.
"Ally" His voice sent shivers through me. I closed my eyes, in a useless attempt
to regain my rage but I just couldn't. I loved that man with every piece of me
"Ally..."
"Shut up" I mumbled, because every time he called me I felt a strong need to run
to him and kiss him.
"Ally, what's wrong?"
"Just shut up!" I screamed meeting his eyes once more. He frowned confused, his
thick eyelashes almost touching. I remembered Alex. He was in jail because of Ra
idon. The man I loved was the one causing such a deep pain to my family. I felt
contradiction invading me but family was first, I had learnt that since I was ju
st a child "How could you?!"
"Ally, Wh-"
"How could you report my brother? He was taken to jail like a criminal" I said o
n the verge of tears. Raidon looked down, his hands squeezing the sheets on his
lap.
"I'm sorry" I felt a strong pain in my chest. Deep down, I had wished it wasn't
his fault, I expected his parents to be behind all this but he was admitting it
right in front of me. Tears started rolling down my cheeks.
"How could you?!" my voice broke "You know what my brother means to me. You know
what we are going through with my mother's sickness and you send him to jail? R
eally?"
"I'm sorry but-"
"But what?!" I screamed taking a step towards him "What, Raidon?! You couldn't b
e a little more considerate to us? I find hard to believe you love me after this
" I stated turning around.
"Ally, he stabbed me. It's not like he beat the hell out of me, that would have
been acceptable but he stabbed me. I almost died" his words did not convince me
"I am just trying to help him, the judge will send him to rage therapy and some
communitarian service, it's all arranged" What?
"Arranged?"
"Yes, he won't go to prison if that's what you're worried about" I felt relief i
nvading every cell of my body "Ally, look at me" He called me but I kept giving
my back to him "I know, I should have told you but I had no time" I wiped my tea
rs quickly and turned on my feet. He was staring at me, her dark eyes melting wi
th mine, taking my breath away.
"I..."
"Everything is going to be ok," He gave me his usual twisted smile, my favorite.
He extended his arms to me "Come here" I bit my lower lip in hesitation "We nee
d to talk. Just talk, come here." I walked slowly to his bed and then sat on it
beside him. He approached his hand to my face and caressed my cheek softly. I cl
osed my eyes enjoying the sensation. When I opened them again, he was leaning to
me. I could feel his breath on my lips.
"I thought we were just going to talk" I stated submerged in desire for his lips
.
He came closer and then whispered softly "I lied." and his wet lips were on mine
.

Raidon kissed me softly, like he was tasting my lips. I fought not to respond bu
t failed. I kissed him back desperately; I had missed him so much. His hands hel
d my face to pull me closer to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, caressing
him slowly. His tongue asked for entrance and I let it in, he invaded my mouth
violently. I shivered when a wave of lust crossed my body.
"I miss you" he whispered on my lips and then continued kissing me passionately.
His hand caressed my arm and went down to my waist. He squeezed it slowly. I ha
d to stop that otherwise I would end on his bed again. I was about to lean back
when his hand touched my breasts above the material, I shuddered.
"Raidon..." I protested but he just grabbed one of my boobs and squeezed it soft
ly. I sighed on his lips enjoying his touch. His free hand started unzipping my
jeans "No..."
"Shhh" he slipped his hand inside my pants and started touching my clitoris abov
e my underwear's material. I moaned softly, feeling a pressure growing in my low
er abdomen. He got his hand inside my panties, the contact of his warm finger ag
ainst my sensitive zone made me to arch my body to him in desire.
"Raidon..." he left my mouth to kiss my neck lustfully. I should have stopped hi
m but God; it felt so right to be touched by him.
A knock on the door made me to jump away from that bed. I was already breathing
heavily. Raidon looked at me, his lips were wet and his eyes showed his lust for
me.
"Raidon Kawasaki! You better open this door right now!" Raidon's mother said at
the other side of the room.
"It's your mother" I said quietly, starting to panic. I was sure that woman woul
d not be happy to see me there.
"Yes, I know. Why are you so afraid?" he asked frowning. Didn't Raidon know what
his parents had said to me?
"You don't know?"
"Know what?" he started covering half of his body with the sheets, obviously try
ing to hide his... you know.
We heard keys at the other side of the room. I buttoned my jeans quickly; Raidon
's mother opened the door violently.
"Raidon! Are you alright?" she ran to him, ignoring me completely.
"Yes" Raidon replied confused. Eva turned to me, giving me a killer look.
"Hello" I greeted politely.
"What are you doing here?" She asked getting closer to me.
"Mother, she came to visit me" Raidon added from his bed. Eva pretended a smile.
"Is that so?" I nodded my head. I spotted Kaito stepping inside the room.
"What are all the nois- Oh, Alyssa" he said surprise "Hi" I simply smiled at him
.
"Raidon is in a delicate state. We should all let him rest" Eva demanded grabbin
g me by my arm to make me follow her. I slapped her hand.
"I'm not going anywhere with you" I said honestly.
"Ally" Raidon called me "Why are you being so rude to my mother?"
"I... she's..." I did not know how to say it. It was his mother after all "I'm s
orry, I was just...I'm sorry but I need to talk to you" Raidon frowned "In priva
te"
"I'm sorry, darling but Raidon needs to rest" Eva added impatiently.
"It's ok, mother. Please, leave us" Raidon stated getting comfortable on his bed
.
"But Raidon, the doctor said you ha-"
"I said it's ok, mother" Eva sighed in frustration. I felt victorious but then M
r. Kawasaki made his way inside the room.
"What's going on?" He asked noticing me "What is she doing here, Eva?" I swallow
ed; this was not going to end well.
"What do you mean?" Raidon asked obviously confused.
"She broke up with you, son" Mr. Kawasaki said seriously "Besides, she's already
seeing someone else"
"What?" we all asked at the same time.
"No, that's not true" I had to defend myself.
"What are you talking about, father?" Raidon asked.
"Your mother and I went to the movies" oh dear Lord "And we saw her with another
man" Raidon frowned, pain plastered on his face. He looked at me waiting for an
explanation.
"Raidon, no, it's not what it-"
"Tell him the truth, girl. That's the last thing he deserves" Eva added pretendi
ng to sound serious.
"You shut up!" I screamed at her "Raidon, they hate me! Don't believe them, they
're just trying to tear us apart" I explained desperately. Raidon looked away co
nfused.
"So is it true?" his eyes met mine again "You're seeing someone else?"
"No... no..."
"Were you or not at the movies?"
"Yes, I was but-"
"Were you alone? You told me you were with Marissa" oh...
"I...lied...but it's not-"
"You lied?" Raidon clenched his fits "You were with a man, weren't you?"
"Yes, but he's just-"
"Wow... you got over me way too fast" I could sense the hurt on his tone.
"No, he's just a friend. I swear"
"Get out of here" he ordered looking away "Leave me alone, all of you"
"Raidon, please... I love you. Please..." I felt two strong hands grabbing me by
my arms.
"You heard him" Mr. Kawasaki pulled me out of the room quickly. The door was clo
sed in front of my eyes. I slapped Mr. Kawasaki's hand and turned to them.
"Why are you doing this to me?" I felt tears in my eyes "I have done nothing wro
ng"
"He's our only child" Eva gave me a sad smile "We have to protect him"
"I love him" tears began rolling down my cheeks.
"You're not the girl for him" Mr. Kawasaki added giving me a cold look.
"You can't fight love, you know. You will regret this, I swear" I said and turne
d around to start my way downstairs.
"Alyssa" Kaito followed me quickly. As soon as I finished the stairs, I headed t
o the front door, sobbing "Alyssa, wait" he grabbed my arm to stop me.
"What?"
"Calm down" he said quietly "You can't drive like this"
"Leave me alone, Kaito!" I screamed, I was really upset "You said I could count
on you and look... you didn't even utter a word upstairs"
"I will talk to him" he offered.
"Really? I don't believe you. You're just a puppet for Raidon's parents" I said
bitterly, my anger speaking for me. Kaito stood still in shock "I'm sorry I didn
't mean to sa-"
"It's ok, I guess you're telling the truth" Kaito looked down. I knew I had hurt
him.
"Kaito..."
"It's cool, don't worry. Just promise me you will calm down before driving"
"I promise" I said getting out of that bloody house.
It was getting dark while I was driving home, my sight became blurred because of
my tears. What had I done to deserve all that? My life had not been easy. All m
y misery started with my mother's sickness, Believe me, you have no idea of the
things I had faced at such young age. I had seen her broken, weak and in pain. D
o you love your mother? Do you have any idea of what it feels like to see her si
ck and weak? To hear her scream in agony? I blinked trying to remove the tears f
rom my eyes. And then, the fact that I was a stripper. You may think to be a str
ipper it's fun but it's not. Getting naked in front of unknown dozens of men, it
's a hard thing to do. When I finally got to be happy for a few weeks with Raido
n, everything goes to hell as well. And also my brother was in jail. I took a de
ep breath trying to calm down.
I felt mentally and physically exhausted. There's a moment of your life when you
feel like you can't keep holding back your tears and suffering. I got home and
walked upstairs. I passed my mother's door but then stopped and walked back. I k
nocked her door slowly.
"Mom? You awake?" I asked wiping my tears. I did not want my mother to see me li
ke that.
"Yes, come in" she replied, and I proceed to open the door. I stepped inside her
room to find her on her bed. She looked at me and smiled sweetly. I felt the te
ars in my eyes once more "Ally?" I ran my fingers through my hair, taking a deep
breath. I needed to control myself. My mother gave me a sad smile "It's ok to c
ry" I ran to her and sat beside her, burying my face on her lap. I cried loudly
but my screams were caught on the sheets. My mother caressed my hair "It's ok to
cry, you have been such a strong girl so far. I understand" I squeezed the shee
ts with my hands, crying without control. I leaned back to look at her.
"I love you" I said honestly "I'm so sorry, I have... I feel... I wish... I wish
I could save you from this pain... and all this..."
"Ally..." she said softly and held my face "You have done enough, you're the bes
t daughter on Earth"
"Mother but I-"
"I'm so proud of you"
"I wish I could save you" my voice broke and I started to cry again.
"Cry" she embraced me tightly. I buried my face on her shoulder "You have done s
o much for me"
"Butt iiit's not enough" I replied between sobs.
"It's enough for me, Ally" she caressed my hair "Look at me" she held my face "Y
ou're a wonderful girl. Always remember that"
"You..." I looked down trying to speak "You are the best woman I have ever met"
I met her eyes, feeling my heart breaking "Why do I have to lose you? Why... why
..."
"Ally..."
"Why!" I stood up "Why, mom? You don't deserve this"
"Ally..."
"I love you! Why do you have to die? Why?! I have done... everything I can... bu
t you're still..." my voice broke "You're still going to die"
"Sweetie..."
"You don't deserve this"
"Nobody deserves cancer, Ally"
I turned around trying to breath.
"Just breathe, sweetie" I covered my face with both hands "I'm sorry for putting
you in this situation"
"Don't even think about apologizing" I demanded staring at her "You didn't choos
e this"
"I know... but I feel bad for making go through this"
"I... have no strength left, mom"
"Yes, you have. You have to promise me you will move on after I'm gone"
"I can't do that"
"You have to, Ally. You're too young" My lower lip quivered while I started cryi
ng again. The only thought of not seeing her again was breaking my heart "Come h
ere" she offered her bed to me. I lay beside her, embracing her "Cry... everythi
ng will be alright"
"But Alex-"
"I called to the police department; he will be out tomorrow for some arrangement
thing. Just sleep, sweetie" she explained caressing my hair. I felt so safe ins
ide my mother's arms. I cried for hours until I fell asleep.
"Ally... wake up, darling" my mother's voice sounded so far away. I fought to op
en my eyes "It's late, you'll be late for college" I pushed myself into a sittin
g position.
"What time is it?" I asked rubbing my eyes.
"8:40 am, sweetie"
"Oh... shit!" I exclaimed jumping out of bed.
"No cussing, Alyssa Lambert" my mother said staring at me.
"Sorry" I ran out of my mother's room to get prepared.
After taking the quickest shower of my life and getting myself into some random
pants and shirt. I took my purse and went to my mother's room to say goodbye to
her.
"Mom, if you need anything... don't hesitate on calling me, ok?"
"Don't worry" she smiled sweetly.
"When is Alex going to be out of jail?"
"In the afternoon, after he's presented to the judge"
"I will be here by lunch so we can go together to look for him, ok?" my mother n
odded and sat on his favorite chair.
I ran downstairs quickly, I remembered I had sort of a friends' date with Mariss
a and Irony after class. I opened the principal door and stood there frozen.
"Raidon" I said in disbelief. He couldn't be there... maybe my mind was playing
jokes to me. He was supposed to be hating me and resting on his bed. He was hold
ing his stomach with one hand. His dark hair was wet and messy. He opened his mo
uth to speak but then shut it slowly "What... what are you doing here?" I asked
totally surprise.
"We need to talk" he replied looking away.
"I..." 'Speak, Alyssa'
"I feel stupid by coming here after knowing you're seeing someone else but love
is stupid, isn't it?" he ran his fingers through his hair "The thing is, I just
fucking can't get you out of my head and it's killing me not to have you"
"Raidon..."
"I know I have made some mistakes but... I swear I love you. I do, and I need yo
u... you have no idea how much I need you" Tears started filling my eyes "Please
, forgive me... for hurting you. I... God, this is hard"
"I..."
"You don't have to say anything. Just listen" he paused looking down "You're so
important to me. I have met dozens of girls but no one like you. You are... so s
pecial"
"Raidon..."
"Would you take me back, Ally?" I sighed and a tear rolled down my cheek. It was
the first time someone said something like that to me.
I wetted my lips and opened my mouth to answer.

- Chapter 26 -
The talk
Raidon stood there, in front of me completely still. He was waiting for my answe
r. His dark eyes showed his anxiety. It took me five long seconds to be able to
utter a word.
"I'm dying to say yes, my heart is screaming yes...." I paused taking a deep bre
ath.
"But?" he asked sadly.
"But... I can't just forget everything that has happened so far. You can't expec
t me to be all happy again" I looked away, because it was breaking my heart seei
ng the sadness plastered on his face.
"That means you can't take me back?"
"No, I mean... we need to have a serious conversation, Raidon. You lied to me ab
out your fianc, you got stabbed by my brother and your parents hate me"
"They don't hate you"
"They do, I can assure you that" Raidon took a few steps towards me and held my
face with both hands.
"Do you love me?" he asked in a whisper. His breath caressed my mouth. God, I wa
nted to kiss him so bad.
"Raidon..."
"Answer" his lips brushed mine, sending a shiver through me.
"I do, I love you with every piece of me" he smiled on my lips.
"And I love you more. So, I'm sure we can work things out, Ally" hope grew in me
quickly.
"I don't know"
"Please, just give us a chance" it was so hard to focus when he was so closed to
me.
"I have to think about it" I said trying to step back.
"Ally, please" Raidon said staring at me. I knew he was trying to read me.
"Just give me some time" I said breaking all contact with him because every tim
e he touched me, I wanted to give in.
"We love each other, there's nothing to think about" he approached to me once m
ore and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to him. My breasts were pres
sed against his well-formed chest.
"Raidon..."
"Look at me" he demanded holding my chin with his free hand "Tell me you don't
want me to kiss you right now" his breath brushed my lips, causing me to shiver.

"I..." his thumb caressed my lower lip, increasing my need for him "We need to
talk... first... Raidon..." I tried to move my head aside to get away from those
mesmerizing dark eyes and wet lips but failed.
"Ally?" my mother's voice asked from behind. Immediately, I stepped back and tu
rned to her "Hello" my mother greeted Raidon, smiling sadly "How are you?" she g
lanced at Raidon's wound quickly.
"I'm getting better, thanks for your concern" Raidon replied politely. My mothe
r nodded and I knew she was embarrassed because of what Alex had done to Raidon.

"I have to go. I'm already late for college" I said breaking the moment.
"I'll take you" Raidon offered quickly. He knew I would not be able to say no w
ith my mother there.
"Bye, mom" I said walking to Raidon's car.
Raidon was driving in silence while I kept my eyes glued to the window.
"Ally... I explained everything about Laura to you already, and my parents won'
t bother you again, I promise" I glanced at him but he kept his eyes on the road
.
"I just... I'm scared" I admitted finally. Raidon pulled over and turned half o
f his body to me.
"Scared?" he asked frowning. I could feel his eyes on me "Look at me, Ally" and
I did.
"I just... I feel vulnerable, Raidon. I don't want to get hurt, I have enough w
ith my mother's sickness and I know, your parents won't rest until we break up.
I'm not sure I have strength left to deal with that" Raidon stared at me in sile
nce for a few seconds.
"I can't lose you" He said honestly "Please, let's try. You don't have to deal
with my parents. I can take care of that, I know they are controlling that's why
I started my own company after I graduated. I did not want anything from them c
ause I knew it would give them power over my life" he explained leaning to me.
"I don't know... it's jus-" his lips touched mine, interrupting. God, they were
so soft. I gave in in just a few seconds, tasting him desperately. His tongue in
vaded my mouth, making the kiss more passionate. My breathing was getting heavie
r even when the kiss was not a lustful one; it was so slow and filled with need.
One of his hands caressed my cheek softly, it was such a delicate and tender to
uch, I felt loved... I felt like he deeply loved me. He stopped the kiss, and w
e looked into each other's eyes. He smiled sweetly at me and grabbed my hand to
put it on his chest.

"Can you feel that?" his heart was pumping quickly against his chest. I nodded m
y head "You're one for me" I felt a smile being formed on my lips.

"I just... please don't hurt me" I said honestly.

"I won't" his nose touched mine. I wanted to feel him again but I held myself ba
ck.

"You promise?"

"Yes" he gave me a short kiss and turned his body to start driving again. I star
ed at him, observing his formed arms and body. He bit his provocative lower lip.
I was dazzled for a few seconds. He was so beautiful, I felt extremely lucky to
be loved by such a great and sexy man. I sighed, but I knew we were going to fa
ce some troubles if we wanted to remain together.

"How is your wound? I thought you have to be resting for a while" I said worried
.

"I'm fine. The knife didn't get to any of my organs so I'll be ok"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, don't worry" he said glancing at me. Every time he looked at me, I felt l
ike he was seeing right through me "So, who is this guy you're seeing?" jealousy
was obvious on his tone. I smiled for myself.

"I'm not seeing anyone"

"Right"

"Brandon is just a friend"

"Oh his name is Brandon, huh?" I could notice the anger on his voice.

"He is just a friend"

"Why did you lie to me then?"

"Eh?"

"You told me you were at the movies with Marissa and you were with him" his expl
anation made sense.

"I just didn't want you to get the wrong idea which happened anyway thanks to yo
ur parents" I said looking through the window.

"Where did you meet him?" his question caught me out of guard.

"Well, he's..." I paused and felt Raidon's eyes on me "He gave me a ride home"

"When?"

"The day we fought about the whole Laura thing"

"Oh, he was that blond boy"

"Yeah"

"You barely know him and you went to the movies with him... that's so..." he did
n't finish, I looked at him. He was focused on the road.

"What? Finish your sentence" I said bothered because I didn't like the tone he w
as using. We arrived to the university and he parked quickly. He turned to me, s
taring at me with those dark eyes. I was still waiting for the answer.

"I just can't believe you went out with some random guy when I was on a bed thin
king about you the entire time"

"I was just trying to distract myself"

"With someone else?"

"Listen, Raidon. Control your jealousy, I didn't do anything wrong"

"So you're planning on seeing him again?"

"He's my friend"

"Really? You have seen him... what? Twice in your life? And he is already your f
riend"

"I..."

"You make friends really quick, don't you?" That was it! I was upset now.

"This is ridiculous" I stated opening the car's door. Raidon grabbed me by my ar
m to stop me.

"Ally, wait" he spoke softly and then sighed "I'm sorry" he let go of my arm and
caressed my cheek "You're just too important for me, I can't tolerate the idea
of sharing you"

"You're not sharing me"

"I know"

"I will introduce Brandon to you; you'll see we are just friends" he smiled at m
e and leaned to me. He gave me a soft, short kiss.

"You look beautiful today"

"Really? I didn't even put any make-up on my pale face this morning"

"You don't need it" I chuckled.

"You're just blind by love, did you know that?" he twisted a smile.

"Maybe you're right" I opened my mouth, playing to be hurt. He pinched my nose "
Seriously, you look more beautiful when you don't have make-up on"

"I will keep that in mind" I said opening the door.

"Why do you have to leave? Can't you skip classes and escape with me?" he put a
poppy face. He looked so cute!

"No, I can't. I'm not in high school anymore"

"That means you skipped classes when you were?" whoops, busted.

"Nope" I put emphasis on the "p"

"Right, bad Ally" he shook his head.

"Oh, shut up! I bet you were the "player" in high school"

"Why would you say that?"

"Cause you're hot and rich" Raidon raised an eyebrow.

"Do you think I'm hot?" I looked away embarrassed, he pinched my waist and I let
go a chuckle.

"Stop! I have to go" I said getting out of the car. Raidon went out as well, and
then appeared in front of me blocking my way "I'm serious, I have to go"

"No" he folded his arms across his chest "What were you in high school, ally?"

"What?"

"I mean, were you the cheerleader, the nerd, the popular...?" he was trying to d
istract me.

"I was just myself"

"I won't let you go if you don't tell me"

"You're not going to distract me. I have to go" I said passing him. He embraced
me from behind. I didn't know Raidon could be so affectionate. But I had to admi
t I liked this side of him.

"Please" he whispered on my ear, sending shivers through me.

"No" I couldn't miss my classes. I was about to finish my semester. Raidon turne
d me to him and held my face.

"Then promise me we'll have lunch together" how could I possibly say no to those
mesmerizing eyes? Oh, then I remembered I had plans with Marissa and Irony.

"Sorry, I have plans"

"Ally..." I put my finger on his mouth to stop his protest.

"We will have the entire afternoon to be together" he wrapped his arms around my
waist.

"Give me a kiss"

"A short one" I said kissing him quickly and escaping from his arms.

"That's not fair!" he exclaimed but I was already walking to the faculty's entry
.

"See ya in the afternoon" I screamed getting inside the law's school building.

The next hours went by, slowly. Every class was more boring than the past one. I
couldn't stop thinking about Raidon even when I tried so hard to focus. I was h
appy but worried at the same time. Raidon's parents were really controlling, I w
as sure they weren't going to like the news about me and Raidon getting back tog
ether. I sighed; it was worth to fight for him, Raidon made me really happy. Eve
ry time we talked... we kissed... we touched each other, I felt so good. I wante
d the afternoon to arrive fast, I wanted to see him again. I felt like an obsess
ed girl. Oh! Alex! I totally forgot about him. I was supposed to go for him in
the afternoon. God, I was such a terrible sister, how could I forget about my br
other like that? Maybe Raidon would agree to go with me and my mother but I didn
't think that was appropriate, right? I sighed, what was I going to do?

Lunch time...

"What?!" Marissa and Irony screamed at the same time. Everyone in the cafeteria
was staring at us thanks to them.

"Shhh... be quite" I said taking a sip from my apple juice. It was my favorite.

"Oh my God, your life is sooooooo interesting" Irony said chewing gum.

"No, it's not"

"Oh it is" Marissa agreed giving her sandwich a big bite.

"So this Brandon... is like hot or super-hot?" Irony would never change.

"He's cute, I guess" I replied trying to remember his face. Yeah, he was indeed
cute.

"Cute?" Irony raised an eyebrow "You're not interested on him"

"How would you know?" I asked staring at her.

"Well, girls usually don't call 'cute' the boys they like" she explained secure.

"Hmm, I think you're wrong" I said frowning; Marissa nodded her head in agreemen
t.

"So you are interested on him, I got you!"

"No, wait..." Irony shook her head.

"You're busted, little girl"

"That's not fair" I said taking another sip from my apple juice.

"You're very easy to read, Ally" Marissa added after swallowing her food.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you usually put a face when you like someone"

"I do not like Brandon"

"You do, but you love Raidon" Marissa explained running her fingers through her
hair "That means, no matter how much you like Brandon, you'll be with Raidon bec
ause you love him"

"Whatever" I said rolling my eyes "Your analysis aren't good, you know" Irony sm
iled at me, shaking her head.

"She is right" of course she would agree with Marissa "You're in denial"
"What?"

"You don't want to admit you like Brandon"

"He is just a friend... I barely know him"

"But you like him" Irony teased.

"Oh God, stop it already"

"No until you admit it. We are your best friends; you don't need to lie to us"

"Fine, I like Brandon, he's cute. Happy?"

"Better" Marissa smiled widely.

"But I love Raidon and I'm going to work things out with him. He makes me happy"
I said honestly.

"Alright" Marissa replied smiling at me. I checked the clock: 1:23 pm.

"I have to go" I said standing up.

"Where are you going?"

"I have to get Alex out of jail" I explained grabbing my purse.

"Right, I'll go with you" Irony said getting on her feet.

"What? Why?"

"I'm your friend" she said innocently.

"Seriously?"

"Your brother is hot" she added as an explanation. I shook my head.

"Fine, let's go" we said goodbye to Marissa and started heading to the cafeteria
's door.

We walked out of the faculty and immediately I spotted Raidon standing by his pa
rked car, waiting for me. Irony pinched my waist playfully.

"He's so hot" she whispered quietly.

"Shut up!" I stated once we were facing my boyfriend.

"Hi" he greeted politely.

"Raidon, this Irony, Irony this is Raidon" they shook hands. Raidon frowned in c
onfusion; I knew he was wondering why I was taking someone to our time for being
together "I forgot I have to get Alex out of jail in an hour. Can you take us t
here?"

"Of course" he said and got inside his car. Irony and I did the same. I was star
ing at Raidon while he was driving; It felt so good being around him. He made me
feel safe. I had to admit two things...
Yes, he had made mistakes but without even knowing it I had already forgiven him
for all of them.
And...
I was madly in love with him.

The Stripper
Chapter 27
Speechless
After Raidon, Irony and I went to look for Alex in jail we were on our way to my
house. The tension was pretty unbearable inside Raidon's car. Alex had no spoke
n a word and Irony was too busy staring at him. I did not know how to break that
uncomfortable silence so I did not say a thing.
"Are you going to work tonight?" Irony asked obviously trying to start a convers
ation.
"I think so. Why?"
"Just wondering, the club isn't the same without you besides, our boss is kind o
f moody lately" I turned half of my body to look at the backseats. Alex's eyes w
ere glued to the window.
"Alex" I called him but he didn't even look to me.
"Huh?"
"Are you ok?" he just nodded absently.
"We're here" Raidon informed as he parked his car in front of my house. My mothe
r walked out of it and came running towards the car. As soon as Alex stepped out
she embraced him tightly.
"I miss you so much" she whispered caressing his hair. She took him inside askin
g him about jail and if he was hungry.
"He didn't even glance at me" Irony said sadly "I have no hope" she looked down.

"He's not in his best moment to flirt, Irony" I tried to make her feel better. R
aidon massaged my shoulders softly.
"Are you alright?" he asked kissing my cheek.
"Yes, it's just... I know he's still feeling bad about what happened"
"He'll get over it, Ally" he said holding my face "I should probably go" I didn'
t want him to go but my brother needed me.
"I'm sorry" I apologized because I knew I had promised him we would have the ent
ire afternoon for each other.
"It's ok, your family needs you" he said giving me a short kiss "I'll call you l
ater" he stated walking to his car. In a matter of seconds he was gone.
"He's so sexy" Irony said getting a lollipop out of her purse.
"Who?" I asked not knowing if she referred to Raidon or Alex.
"Your boyfriend, silly, by the way is he good in bed?"
"Irony!" I started blushing quickly.
"Oh come on!"
"This is not the right moment to ask those things"
"Fine, call me a cap. We'll talk at work later" she said getting the lollipop in
side her mouth. We got inside the house, and I proceed to call Irony a cap. She
kept looking around; I knew she was searching for Alex.
"He's at the kitchen with my mother"
"Hmm, do you think I should say goodbye to him before I go?"
"Sure" we both walked to the kitchen, Alex was eating pasta and meat, his favori
te food.
"Well, Mrs. Lambert" Irony started smiling at my mother "I have to go"
"Call me Amanda" my mother replied smiling back "Your name... is?" mom was not g
ood at names.
"Irony" my friend answered quickly. Alex glanced at her with the corner of his e
ye.
"Irony? Isn't that your stripper name?" Mom asked frowning.
"Yes" Irony nodded. I chuckled.
"Yeah, she doesn't like her real name so she prefers the stripper's one" I knew
Irony's real name but she would hit me if I said it.
"Oh" my mother said shaking her head. Alex was staring at Irony now, he scanned
her. I noticed a glint on his eyes "What's your real name?" I knew my mother wou
ld ask that, she was an extremely curious woman.
"I prefer not to say it, Amanda" Irony looked away, sucking her lollipop.
"Leave her alone, mom" I tried to save my friend from my mother's curiosity.
"Well," Irony approached to my mom "Bye, Amanda" she kissed my mother's cheek.
"Bye, sweetie, take care of yourself" Irony walked nervously to Alex, stopping r
ight beside him.
"Bye, Alex" she said quickly and then turned on her feet. Alex grabbed her by he
r arm.
"No kiss for me?" my brother teased smirking at her. Irony swallowed and leaned
to him, kissing his cheek in a fast move "That's better" Alex said letting her g
o.
Irony ran out of my house like a scared child. I couldn't blame her; Alex could
be really intimidating sometimes. My mother and I sat on the table staring at m
y brother, who was eating slowly.
"What was that?" I asked immediately.
"What?" Alex played the fool.
"No kiss for me?" I imitated his voice.
"I was just teasing her" he explained taking a sip of pear's juice.
"Right" my mother raised an eyebrow "Do you like her, Alex?" my brother choked w
ith his food. He coughed for a few seconds. I folded my arms across my chest.
"So?" I asked curious.
"I said I was just teasing her, she looks funny when she's all nervous around me
" a smile was formed on his lips.
"Oh my God! You liked her!" I said standing up.
"Really?" my mother asked surprised.
"No, I don't! Ally, stop it" he glared at me "I just noticed she likes me and I
decided to tease her a little"
"Right" I rolled my eyes.
"I'm telling the truth. Mom, you believe me, don't you?"
"I'm sorry, darling but I agree with your sister"
"We are majority here so you lose"
"I don't like her; she's a stripper for God sakes"
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked feeling insulted.
"I couldn't date a stripper, they are... too..."
"Too what?" I was getting upset now.
"No offense, Ally but strippers are sluts"
"Alex" my mother protested immediately.
"Not you, Ally. You're an exception" he explained quickly.
"Strippers are not sluts" I said angry "How can you say something like that?"
"It is the truth. I'm not saying you're a slut, I know you're not but the majori
ty of strippers are"
"That's so not true, Alex. Yes, I admit there are some sluts as strippers but yo
u can't throw a generalization like that. Girls who work as strippers are there
because they need the money and they can't find a decent job. Most of the time,
they have children to feed and rents to pay" Alex stayed in silence; I knew he h
adn't seen that side of things.
"I'm sorry, Ally. I didn't mean to..."
"No, it's ok. But Irony is my friend; and she is a great girl so stay away from
her because you don't deserve her"
"Ally, he apologized" my mother spoke trying to calm me down.
"No, mom. He won't date one of my best friends thinking she's a slut. Irony has
suffered enough" I explained shaking my head "I'll got to my room now"
"Ally..." my mother started but I just went upstairs quickly.
I got inside my room and jumped on my bed. I lied on my back staring at the ceil
ing. Alex's words had got to me. I knew he didn't think I was a slut but I didn'
t like when people judged strippers. Hey, it's a job. It's a woman's choice to t
ake that job and believe me if a girl is stripping it's because she really needs
the money. For example, Irony, she was an orphan. She was adopted when she was
seven years old only to be abused by her new dad for 3 years. She became a strip
per when she was only 15 years old. I could not judge her because I knew what sh
e had been through. She needed the money to survive in the streets because she r
an away from home. Now, she was paying for her career at college because she wan
ted to quit stripping and find a decent job. And what about me? I became a strip
per to pay for my mother's treatment and trust me if I had to do it again, I wou
ld do it without hesitation. So, it's not fair from Alex to judge strippers like
that.
My cellphone rang snapping me out of my thoughts. I checked the screen: Brandon.
"Hey" I answered.
"Hi, Alyssa, What's up?"
"All good, just got home. What about you?" I asked pushing myself into a sitting
position.
"Well, I just bought some DVDs. I thought you may be interested on watching them
" I chuckled.
"What are they about?"
"Hmm, let me read the tittles for you" he cleared his throat "Dragon Ball Z, Sai
lor moon" I laughed immediately.
"Be serious"
"Alright, I have a long list here: horror movies, action movies, anime movies" h
e said chuckling "Are you free tomorrow's night?"
"Yeah"
"Wanna watch some movies with me?"
"Sure. You can come to my place" I said running my fingers through my hair.
"Alright"
"But you bring the DVDs and popcorns"
"Sounds fair to me"
"Ok"
"I'll be there at 4 pm"
"Alright, bye" I said hanging up. I was about to get to the bathroom when my cel
lphone rang again "Hello?"
"Hey" Raidon's voice filled my ear, bringing a nice sensation to my body.
"Are you home?" I asked remembering his crazy parents.
"Yeah, how did it go?"
"What?"
"Your brother's thing"
"Oh, he's fine. We didn't talk about; he seemed to be dealing with it" I said re
membering what he had said about strippers.
"You sound upset" I sighed.
"Yeah, he kind of insulted strippers and I got mad at him"
"Oh, you ok?"
"Yes, don't worry. The thing is, Irony is crazy about him and I don't want him t
o play with her feelings just because he thinks strippers are sluts"
"Yeah, your friend was pretty obvious"
"I don't know if I should say something to Irony"
"No, don't say anything to her. She will feel bad about it" I sighed in frustrat
ion.
"I guess you're right"
"You'll be ok, Ally. I'm sure your brother won't do anything to hurt her"
"I hope you're right"
"You're going to work tonight, right?"
"Yes, only until midnight"
"So can I pick you up?"
"Sure, but can you go out like that? I mean, with your wound and stuff"
"I'm fine" he said sounding sure about it.
"Ok, see you later then"
"Hmm"
"What?" I asked curious.
"I love you" I chuckled.
"I love you too" I said and hung up smiling like a fool.
At the stripper's club
After performing my dance, I went to attend some tables. I got zone 1 that night
, I served tequila's shots, whiskey and so on. Electronic music was filling the
club; some strippers were still performing their dances on the scenario so the m
en's attention was on them. I was wearing a leather purple skirt and a black top
. My hair was loose, falling asides my face and down my shoulders. I had my mask
on.
"Rose!" Irony's voice called my attention "Did Alex say anything about me? I thi
nk he likes me, did you see how he made me to kiss his cheek this afternoon?" I
sighed.
"You should forget about him" I said serving tequila's shots.
"Why?"
"He's just... just forget about him" Irony frowned.
"Why? Is he too good for me?"
"No, Irony, that's not wh-"
"You think he's too good for someone like me, don't you?" she said stepping back
.
"Irony..." she shook her head and walked away. God, this was going to be harder
of what I had thought.
The club closed at midnight just as I had expected since it was Monday. I tried
to look for Irony but she was nowhere to be seen. I stepped outside and found my
sexy boyfriend waiting for me. He was resting his back on his fancy black car.
He was wearing dark pants and a black shirt with some undone bottoms; it let me
see his well-formed chest and arms. His hair was messy as usual. His dark eyes m
et mine and a smile was formed on his full lips.
"How was your night?" he asked kissing my lips softly.
"It was ok" I whispered leaning back. He opened the car's door for me. I jumped
on the seat and got comfortable.
He drove in silence and I noticed he was not on the way to my house.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see" he replied and 20 minutes later he was parking in front of a beauti
ful building. We both got out of the car.
"Wow, what a beautiful building" I said looking up, it looked new and extremely
large. Raidon pulled me inside "What are we doing here?"
"Well, I decided to buy an apartment"
"What?"
"You know, my parents are kind of uncontrollable lately so I want my own place"
"Oh, that's good" I said smiling at him. we got inside the elevator, Raidon pres
sed the 19 bottom.
"19? Isn't that like too high?"
"It's worth it. it has a beautiful view"
"Oh" the elevator's door went opened and we stepped inside what I guessed it was
his new place. It had new furniture, they still had the plastic on them. It was
a really big apartment and Raidon was right... the view was breathtaking. You c
ould see the shining city from the window.
"So do you like it?" he sounded nervous.
"It's perfect" I said smiling at him. He pointed the floor. I looked down to see
a path of roses and a little piece of paper that said 'Follow me' I followed th
e roses who leaded me to a room. I stood on the doorframe absolutely frozen. The
room had roses all over the floor and bed. Candles gave a soft light to the pla
ce. It was so romantic. There was a big mirror where 'I love you' was written in
red.
I did not know what to say, I was speechless. No one had ever done something lik
e that for me.
Raidon embraced me from behind, and whispered.
"I wanted you to be the first to see my place and to be the first and only to sh
are my bed with me" he kissed my cheek softly.
"I don't know what to say" I said turning to him.
"Words are unnecessary" he said smiling at me. I held his face and kissed him so
ftly.
God, I loved that man with every piece of me.

& Chapter 28 &

- Love -

I did not know what to say. The scene in front of my eyes was so romantic... the
candles... the roses... Raidon's words...

"Do you like it?" he whispered on my ear, still embracing me from behind. The sw
eet scent of his masculine cologne filled my nose.

"It's..." perfect? Amazing? Marvelous? Lots of adjectives crossed my mind but I
couldn't say them for some reason "Wow" Raidon chuckled and kissed my cheek quic
kly. Then, he let me go and walked towards the bed to sit on it.

"I was hoping you could spend the night here... with me" he added nervously. I n
arrowed my eyes at him; he smiled "Just to sleep, I promise. I'm wounded, rememb
er?"

"I don't know. I have to tell mom about it. I never sleep out of the house"

"Then call her" Raidon offered lying on his back. I got my phoned and called hom
e. It was midnight so my mother was probably sleeping.

"Hello?" Alex's sleepy voice answered.

"Hey, is mom there?"

"She's sleeping. Something wrong?"

"No, just tell her I'm not going to be home tonight"

"Why?"

"I'm staying at Irony's place" I lied.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, bye" I was still mad at Alex for the way he thought about strippers. Raid
on stood up and walked to me.

"All good?" I nodded and held my face with both hands "What about a kiss?" I smi
led at him and kissed him softly. His lips received me anxiously. It felt so goo
d to kiss him. He wrapped his hands around my waist pulling me closer to him. Hi
s tongue invaded my mouth while he was deepening the kiss. I started breathing h
eavily while he was squeezing my waist lustfully. A need began growing in my low
er abdomen. Without knowing what I was doing, I started rubbing my body against
his, pressing my boobs against his well formed chest.

"Ally..." he whispered on my lips. His voice filled with lust and need. His hand
s went down my waist to my buttocks. He squeezed them roughly, pressing me to hi
m even more. I felt his hardness against my lower abdomen.

"Raidon... we should..." he interrupted me by kissing me hard, pulling to the be
d. He laid me on it and got on top of me "We shouldn't..." he buried his face on
my neck, licking it lustfully. A wave of desire crossed me. He took my t-shirt
off and then my bra. He kissed around my nipples slowly driving me crazy. A quie
t moan left my lips. He got one of my nipples inside his mouth, sucking it softl
y. I arched in pleasure to him. He leaned back to take his shirt off. I saw his
defined chest and abs, I couldn't stop passing my hand all over them. I looked u
p to meet my boyfriend's beautiful eyes.

"You're hot" I thought aloud. He smirked at leaned down to kiss me desperately,
rubbing his warm chest against my boobs. He unzipped my pants and took it off; m
y panties went off with it as well. He stared at my body shamelessly. I flushed
feeling exposed. He was soon naked on top of me, his hardness pressed on my thig
hs. He stopped kissing me and looked at me right into my eyes.

"You're beautiful" he said softly. I felt his hardness getting slowly inside me.
He bit his lower lip, closing his eyes. It hurt me a little but the pain was so
on replaced by pleasure. My entire body was throbbing. He kissed me again, slidi
ng his tongue inside my mouth. He started moving slowly inside me... it felt ama
zing. I moaned quietly. His thrusts became harder and faster every passing secon
d. I was moaning loudly already "Raidon..." I whispered his name on his lips.

We both collapsed into each other's arms as the orgasm made its way in our bodie
s. Raidon buried his face on my neck, biting it softly while I felt a warm liqui
d inside me.

We were both breathing heavily. Raidon rolled over to lay right next to me. A re
laxing sensation invaded me.

"We shouldn't have done that" I said trying to regain my regular breathing. Raid
on kissed my cheek.

"I really love you" he whispered on my ear.

"I love you too" I said moving my head aside to look at him. i was going to wrap
my hand around him when I felt some liquid on his abdomen.

I pushed myself into a sitting position.

"Raidon..." I used my phone to light his bandage, which was completely red "Oh G
od! You're bleeding!" I said freaking out.

"What?" Raidon sat to look at his wound. I jumped out of the bed and started get
ting dressed quickly.

"This is my entire fault; we have to get you to the hospital... what if you blee
d out to death? Dear God, what have I done?" I felt a pair of hands holding my f
ace.

"Hey, hey it's ok. I'll be ok, I'm just bleeding a little" he gave me a short ki
ss and then proceed to get dressed. I couldn't believe what was happening. I fel
t so guilty "It's not your fault, Ally" Raidon said noticing my concern.

20 minutes later...

We arrived to the hospital. I was driving of course; I didn't want Raidon to mov
e. We walked into the emergency room. A nurse walked to us.

"What's your emergency?"

"He's bleeding" I replied quickly. The nurse gestured us to follow her. We stepp
ed inside a room... a creepily white room: curtains, sheets, walls... everything
was white.

"Sit down. I'll look for the doctor. Don't move" she said and left the room.

"Are you ok?" I asked Raidon approaching to him.

"Yeah, don't worry, Ally" he smiled at me "You look cute when you're freaked out
" I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up"

The doctor came inside and started asking Raidon lots of questions about his wou
nd, his identity and even about who I was. I felt proud when Raidon said I was h
is beloved girlfriend.

"Alright, let me check your wound" Raidon took off his shirt. My poor boyfriend
grimaced in pain while the doctor was checking the wound "It looks like you lost
some stitches" the doctor spoke calmed "Son, did you have sex in the past 24 ho
urs?" Raidon glanced at me and the doctor followed his gaze and smiled at me "Yo
u know he needs to rest, right?" I started blushing quickly.

"I..."

"How did you know?" Raidon asked the doctor curious.

"Well, your girlfriend is wearing her t-shirt in the wrong way" Immediately I ch
ecked myself to confirm the doctor was right. I became red, feeling absolutely e
mbarrassed.

"I'm going to get new stitches on you. But if you want to heal, no sex for at le
ast three weeks" the doctor glanced at me. My cheeks were on fire.

I had to wait outside while the doctor was fixing my boyfriend. I couldn't stop
blaming myself for all this. I was getting impatient when a pregnant woman passe
d in front of me. I smiled at her and then it hit me...

Raidon and I hadn't used protection... dear Lord! I was frozen for a few seconds
. And we had done it TWICE! Without any protection! Was I stupid? Crazy? How cou
ld I possibly forget about protection? God, when was my period going to come? Wa
s it late?

"Calm down, Ally" I told myself holding my chest. I loved Raidon but I was sure
I didn't want to have a baby, not yet! I had too many responsibilities already!
Agh! I had been such a stupid virgin, no protection, really?

After calming down, I decided I would talk to Raidon about it once we got home.

2 hours later.

"You have to lie down carefully" I stated helping Raidon to get on the bed.

"Ally, I'm good" he said getting comfortable "Come to bed" he said while I was t
aking off my shoes. I got on the bed and lay my head carefully on his chest.

"I'm sorry" I said honestly.

"It was not your fault, silly" he kissed my forehead. Oh the talk...

"Raidon, we need to talk" I said sitting and then turned to look at him. He fold
ed his arms across his chest.

"What is it?" I could feel my heartbeats on my ears and throat "You're blushing,
Ally" he pinched my cheek playfully.

"Well... you... I..." I swallowed "I mean, I..."

"Just say it"

"I'm worried"

"About?" he raised an eyebrow.

"We had sex"

"I know?" he teased.

"We didn't use any protection" Raidon's eyes went wide opened.

"What?" he exclaimed "What are you talking about?" I frowned "I thought you were
taking pills"

"What? No! I was a virgin, remember?"

"Yeah, but you didn't stop me or said anything about protection when we were doi
ng it the first time"

"So this is my fault?" I was pretty angry now. Raidon started laughing "And now
you laugh! You are a jerk!" I got out of bed but Raidon grabbed my hand stopping
me.

"Wait, ally, wait" he said still laughing a little "Your face was priceless" I w
as really confused "I'm sorry I was joking"

"What?"

"Don't worry, I'm using protection"

"What kind of protection?"

"Injections, we are safe"

"Then why did you..." realization hit me "oh, you were lying to scare me!"

"I'm sorry I couldn't help it" I slapped his hand.

"Well, sleep alone, Mr. Jerk" I started my way to the door.

"I'm sooo lonely" I stopped moving when Raidon started singing? "My girlfriend h
ates me... I just want to cuddleee and sleep next to heeer" I couldn't stop chuc
kling. He was making up a sad song "I'm wounded... and lonely" I turned to him;
he made a cute poppy face. He looked so hopeless "Pleeasee I love youuu" he roun
ded his lips with the "u" I laughed.

"Shut up!" I said getting on the bed again.

"Wanna cuddle?" he asked smiling at me. I shook my head and ended in his arms qu
ickly.

The Stripper
& Chapter 29 &
Ray.
A ray of light touched my eyes, interrupting my sleep. I frowned with my eyes cl
osed cause I didn't remember leaving my curtains opened. Ah, maybe mom opened th
em to wake me up to go to college. I was laying on my stomach. I tried to get ba
ck to sleep but failed so I slowly opened my eyes. I blinked trying to clear my
blurred sight. The first thing I saw was a big window. What the... and then it h
it me. I was not home, I was at Raidon's place. I felt a warm figure beside me a
nd rolled over to face him. Aww Raidon... he looked so cute when he was sleeping
. He was laying on his back, a lock of hair resting on his forehead. I smiled at
him and then checked the time on my phone: 9:35 am. Oh no... I cursed inside my
head and was about to jump out of bed when an arm was wrapped around my waist.
"Where are you going?" Raidon sounded so sleepy.
"I'm late for college" I said smiling at him. he could barely open his eyes com
pletely.
"Don't go, stay with me"
"I have to go" I kissed his forehead "Can I use your bathroom?"
"Sure"
Ah, I got out from bed quickly. I knew I had overslept because I spent lot of t
ime in the hospital with Raidon the night before. Where was the bathroom? I chec
ked some doors and finally found the bathroom. I got immediately inside the show
er, and it was in that moment I noticed it...
"Oh no" I whispered to myself... my period had come. seriously? oh God, I didn'
t have any sanitary towels with me. What was I going to do? That's why I hated m
y period! it decided to show up in the worst times.
I wrapped a towel around me and walked to the bathroom door. I half-opened it a
nd stuck my head out.
"Raidon!" I called him loudly cause I knew he was probably in dreamland again.
I could see the bed from here... Raidon was hidden among sheets, the blanket and
pillows "Raidon!" I saw him pushing himself in a sitting position.
"Ally?" he looked around confused. He looked so cute, his dark hair was messier
than usual and he was shirtless.
"Here" he looked at me and then smiled mischievously.
"Need company there?" he asked walking to me. I pursed my lips at him.
"No, I just..." I felt how blood was rushing to my cheeks "I need something" Ra
idon stopped walking and frowned.
"What is it?"
"Do you happen to have sanitary towels here?" I managed to babble.
"What?"
"You heard me. Don't make me say it again" I said looking down.
"Oh, did you... is your... oh" Raidon said in realization.
"Yeah"
"I don't have any of those things. I'm a man, you know"
"Well, can you go out and buy some, please?" I put a poppy face. Raidon smiled
at me.
"Of course" I closed the door and headed to the shower. I just had to wait for
Raidon to bring me sanitary towels, God I was so embarrassed!
After the longest 25 minutes of my life, I heard a knock on the bathroom's door
.
"Ally?"
"I'm coming" I walked out of the shower and half-opened the door again. Raidon
was standing in front of it with a few bags in his hands.
"There were lots of sizes and different types of these things so I just bought
lots of them" he offered me the bags.
"Thank you" I started closing the door but Raidon put his hands across it to st
op me.
"No kiss? I just got funny looks at the store to buy sanitary towels for you an
d I don't get a kiss?" I chuckled and leaned to him. Our lips touched softly and
I quickly leaned back. I enjoyed teasing him.
"Thanks" I closed the door and sighed.
I was really in love with that arrogant sweet boy. He made me feel safe and lov
ed, we had so many things in common and God he was hot but he was also sweet and
caring. and the sex? What could I say? We matched perfectly in bed. It was like
we were made for each other.
30 minutes later....
Finally, I got out of the bathroom. I felt fresh and safe. Raidon was laying on
the bed, he glanced at me.
"I thought the shower had swallowed you"
"Very funny, that reminds me of that creepy movie about a clown"
"It?" Raidon smiled at me "You watched that movie? It marked my childhood"

"You're not alone on that. I couldn't even close to the bathrooms cause I though
t a clown was there to kill me"
"Stephen king is good at horror stuffs" I got on the bed and sat beside him.
"What are you watching?" Raidon wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
"I guess you're not going to college"
"Not really, it's super late. But if you want me to go..." Raidon kissed me sof
tly.
"I want you to stay" he whispered on my lips, and bit my lower lip playfully.
"Don't do that" I complained.
"What? This?" he bit my lower lip a little bit harder.
"Raidon" he leaned back and smirked "This is going to be hard"
"What?" I frowned.
"To have you here on my bed... and not be able to..." I started blushing quickl
y and punched his shoulder.
"Shut up" his dark eyes showed his amusement. The bell rang "Are you waiting fo
r someone?" I asked while raidon was getting up.
"Yep" he emphasized the 'p' and walked out of the room. I remained still on the
bed and grabbed the remote, there was nothing good on TV. Raidon came back with
two big boxes, I read the word Pizza on them.
"Pizza?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Aren't you hungry?" my stomach growled answering my boyfriend's question.
"It's 10 am, Raidon"
"And?"
"We are going to have pizza for breakfast?" a flash of sadness crossed Raidon's
face.
"I thought you would like it but ok... we can ge-"
"It's perfect" I said smiling at him. I didn't want him to think I wasn't appre
ciating his gesture. He smiled back and gestured me to follow him.
We got to the kitchen, which was beautifully decorated in black and white. Ther
e was a small table in the middle.
"You're going to work tonight?" Raidon asked opening the fridge.
"Yeah, I guess. Why?"
"So you're mine for the rest of the day?" I blushed a little.
"Sure, what about you? Won't you work today?"
"I called sick" he said getting an apple juice bottle out of the fridge. I love
d apple juice.
"How do you know it's my favorite?"
"What?" Raidon played the fool "You told me, silly"
"I did?"
"Yes, besides it's my favorite too" he winked at me. Why did he have to be so s
exy?
We ate silently, making jokes about how lazy we were for having pizza as breakf
ast.
"I will take you out to lunch" Raidon said as we walked back to the room, his h
and holding mine. I felt so good, I couldn't be more happy.
We got on the bed and decided to watch a movie.
"Let's watch 'It'" Raidon said and laughed at the face I made.
"No way, that clown marked my life. I don't want to see him again"
"You're an adult now" Raidon teased embracing me from behind. I was sitting in
the middle of his legs, my back resting on his bare chest, he was so warm. He re
sted his chin on my shoulder.
"Ok.. ok... let's watch..." he seemed to be thinking about it.
"Do you like French movies?" I asked.
"They're ok, why? Do you have one in mind?"
"Yeah, it's like a classic for me"
"Which one?"
"Jeux d'enfants"
"What?"
"I don't know the title in English"
"I'm not really a fan of French movies. Choose something else"
After half an hour of discussing which movie we should watch, we decided to for
get about it and just watched TV peacefully. I was pretty comfortable in his arm
s. Raidon kissed my cheek softly. And then my cell phone rang, interrupting our
peaceful moment. I got out of bed and picked it up from the night table.
"Hello?" I answered quickly.
"Sweetie, where are you?" my mother sounded concerned.
"Im..." I glanced at Raidon who gave me a confused look "I'm at college"
"Are you coming home for lunch?"
"No, I'll have lunch here"
"Oh, ok, sweetie. See you later then"
"Mom?"
"Yes?"
"Are you ok? Do you need me there? If that's the case I will go th-"
"No, Ally. Don't be silly. I'm ok, see you later, love you"
"Love you too, mom" I hung up and sighed. Just when I was about to get back to
bed, my cell phone rang again.
"What is it, mom?" I asked concerned.
"I'm pretty sure I'm not your mother" Brandon's amused voice said. I froze, and
glanced at Raidon who was staring at me.
"Hey" I greeted nervously. Raidon frowned.
"What's up? I was calling to confirm our friends' date this afternoon" oh...
"Oh, right..."
"You forgot about it, didn't you?"
"No, of course not" I lied and gave my back to Raidon because he was staring me
intensively.
"So?" Brandon asked anxiously.
"Oh, yeah, be at my place at four"
"Ok see you then"
"Bye" I hung up and didn't dare to turn around but I had to do it so I turned o
n my feet slowly. Raidon was still staring at me, his dark mine were melting me.
"Who were you talking to?" he asked seriously.
"Brandon" I swallowed. I didn't know why I was so nervous.
"So you're going to see him today?"
"Yeah" I said getting on the bed.
"What about our plans?"
"He had asked me first, Raidon. We talked yesterday"
"Whatever" he focused on the TV.
"You're jealous, aren't you?"
"No, but I don't like people who steal moments with my girlfriend from me" he f
olded his arms across his chest. He looked so childish.
"Nobody is stealing me from you. We will have plenty of time for each other"
"You barely know this guy, Ally"
"He's my friend"
"Really? You have seen him what? Twice in your life?" I sighed and held raidon'
s face.
"Trust me, Raidon" I looked into his eyes and felt the need to lean to him. Our
lips met softly, sending a peaceful sensation through my body. He smiled on my
lips and kissed me back. His tongue caressed my lower lip asking for entrance an
d I let it in. The kiss wasn't a soft one anymore, we were both kissing each oth
er passionately, his tongue playing with mine lustfully. I leaned back breathing
heavily, I could see the lust on my boyfriend's eyes.
"Again, this is going to be hard" he said taking a deep breath in. I smiled at
the new thought that had come to my mind "What?"
"Can i call you Ray for short? You know, Raidon is kind of long"
"Ray" raidon seemed to be considering it "Yeah, I like it" he said and pulled m
e to a tight embrace "I love you, Ally"

Panic
"Stop it!" I exclaimed pushing Raidon away. He stepped back smirking at me. I wa
s leaning against his car. We had just arrived to my house. Raidon parked his ca
r but didn't want to leave so he had decided to tickle me to death.
"What if I want to meet him?" I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Meet who?" I played the fool. Raidon pretended to be fixing his shirt.
"You know, mister movies' boy"
"His name is Brandon" I said holding my laughter. Mister movies' boy? Really?
"Whatever" Raidon said looking away.
"Don't be silly, I thought you weren't jealous" I said resting my hands on his s
houlders.
"I'm not jealous" he looked up at the sky. I knew he was lying, how? Well, my bo
yfriend tended to avoid eye contact when he was lying. Pretty obvious, huh?
"Look at me" I said holding his face. He looked down at me; his dark-hazel eyes
showed his concern "He's just a friend. I love you, ok?" I pressed my lips soft
ly against his. Raidon wrapped his arms around my waist to pull me closer and de
epened the kiss. He kissed me softly, as if he was savoring me. I heard an uncom
fortable cough and cursed inside my head. I abandoned my boyfriend's delicious l
ips to look aside.
"Hey" Brandon greeted totally uncomfortable. Raidon tensed and got his hands off
me. I turned to Brandon smiling.
"Hey" Could this be more awkward? I wondered "Brandon, this is Raidon. Raidon, t
his is Brandon" I stated quickly. Brandon and Raidon stared at each other in a v
ery serious way. I swear you could see the tension flowing in the air without an
effort.
"Nice to meet you, man" Brandon said shaking Raidon's hand. Oh, and another unc
omfortable silence arrived.
"So, what movies did you choose?"
"It's a surprise"
"Really?" I couldn't help smiling at him.
"Yeah"
"Well, let's get inside"
"I'm gonna go now" Raidon said walking to be right in front of Brandon. I frowne
d "Nice to meet you, Brandon" he said leaning to him "Just one little thing, she
's mine. So, stop looking at her like a sick puppy. See her as your friend and y
ou'll be good" my mouth went opened in surprised.
"Raidon..."
"It's cool, I'm leaving" he walked to me and gave me a short kiss. In a matter o
f seconds he was inside his car starting the engine "Call you later, Ally" he sa
id smiling at me and disappeared in the street.
"I'm sorry" I was so embarrassed.
"It's ok, I can't blame him. He has a beautiful girlfriend after all" he sounded
distant as if he didn't know what he was saying.
"You think I'm beautiful?" I felt warm blood coming to my cheeks.
"Sure" he said grinning at me and grabbed a lock of my hair to place it behind m
y ear. I felt weird so I stepped back.
"We should get inside" I said gesturing him to follow me.
Once we were inside, I told Brandon to sit on the couch while I was getting the
pop corns inside the microwave.
"So, are you going to tell which move are we watching?" I asked in a loud tone f
rom the kitchen, pressing the start bottom on the microwave's touch screen.
"I told you it's a surprise"
"Right" I said rolling my eyes and stepping on the living room. Brandon was sitt
ing on the couch staring at me. It was then I truly looked at him. He was wearin
g black pants and a red t-shirt with a black jacket. His messy blonde hair was m
essy, and his blue eyes had a special glint "Alyssa?" his voice snapped me out o
f my thoughts. God, was I checking him out? I couldn't do that, he was my friend
. I sat beside him on the couch but kept a prudent distance between us.
"Well, what's the surprise?" I asked placing my hands on my lap. Brandon smiled
and took a DVD out of his pocket. He gave it to me.
"So, we are going to watch..." I froze when I saw the name of the movie "Oh my G
od, Jeux d'enfants!" I stood up surprised "How did you know this was my favorite
movie?"
"You told me"
"I did?"
"Yes, when we went to the movies the other day"
"You have a good memory" I said hugging the DVD "I love this movie" I felt stupi
d but hey, I really loved that movie.
"Well, let's see what's so special about it"
"Believe me, you're gonna love it" I said sitting back. Brandon chuckled and sho
ok his head.
We spent the next two hours watching the movie. I couldn't help crying silently
over some scenes. Brandon pretended he didn't notice but I knew he knew. He pass
ed an arm over my shoulders to comfort me. I rested my head on his shoulder. I c
ould feel the warmth coming from him. Brandon sighed.
"I have to admit you were right" he said as the movie ended. I leaned back, gett
ing some distance from him. I took a deep breath.
"Did you like it?"
"Yeah, it's very original and the photography is great" I smiled widely at him.
"I know"
"Ally, hone-" my mother's voice said from behind us.
"Hey, mom" I said looking at her.
"Hello?" she asked staring at Brandon.
"Mom, this is Brandon"
"Hey, Brandon" mom said walking to him "I'm Amanda" Brandon smiled at her noddin
g nervously "So, what are you guys doing?"
"We were watching a movie" Brandon said casually.
"Really?"
"Yeah, Jeux d'enfants" I said proudly.
"Again? Ally, you have watched that movie I don't know how many times anymore"
"I can't help it, mom. Besides, Brandon hadn't watched it" I folded my arms acro
ss my chest. My mother shook her head.
"Ally, Irony called" my mother said seriously. I knew what that meant. My boss w
as probably asking for me. It was past seven already.
"Alright"
"I should probably be going now" Brandon said walking to the door. I opened the
door for him and stayed at the doorframe.
"Thank you"
"For?" he asked giving me a twisted smile.
"For watching my favorite movie with me and dealing with my sobs" I said blushin
g a little.
"It's cool, it was fun" he said leaning to me, I froze for a moment and then fel
t his lips being pressed softly against my cheek. He leaned back slowly "Bye, Al
yssa"
"Bye" I sighed closing the door.

Later at the club...
We were about to close but there were still some men watching some strippers. Of
course our boss wasn't going to close until the last man had left the club. The
light was dim and there was a sex energy flowing around the place. I guess, tha
t was normal since there were lots of naked and half naked girls around. I was
cleaning some table when I felt someone behind me.
"Boo" Someone pinched my waist making jump. I turned around confused.
"Kaito?" I asked totally surprised. He had a big smirk on his small face. His ha
zel eyes showed his amusement.
"Missed me?" he raised an eyebrow.
"God, I thought you were dead" I admitted because it'd been so long since the la
st time I had seen him. He ran his fingers through his hair.
"Very funny" he said approaching to me.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, I was bored... and I wanted to check on you"
"Right" I said narrowing my eyes at him.
"What? You don't believe me?" I smiled at him "How's your mom doing?" I stopped
smiling and felt sadness invading me.
"She's doing fine" I said giving my back to him and continued cleaning the table
.
"I'm glad"
"Yeah" I noticed the club's music stopped. That was weird. Maybe the boss had fi
nally decided to close.
"Listen, Ally, there's something I need to tell you" he sounded serious. I turne
d to him once more.
"What is it?"
"Well, there's somethi-" a strong noise interrupted Kaito.
"What the..." a loud scream filled my ears and I looked around trying to see wha
t was happening.
"Everybody on the floor!" a rounded man screamed. He was wearing a strange clown
mask. I froze when I saw a big black gun in his hand; he was pointing to all of
us "I said on the floor! Now!" I was paralyzed by fear. Two more men appeared a
nd stood beside the rounded one, they were also holding two big guns. I saw how
one of them pushed Kage to the floor, our guard. All the strippers got on her kn
ees nervously, they were shaking and some of them were already sobbing. The few
clients in the club did as they were told; one of them was too drunk to understa
nd what was happening so he remained still on his chair. The rounded man walked
to him and pointed the gun at him "Didn't you hear me?" I wanted to explain to h
im the man was drunk but I couldn't utter a word. The masked man kicked the drun
k and he fell to the floor, probably sleeping.
"Alyssa" I heard Kaito whispers from behind but I couldn't even move my head "Kn
eel down, now!"
"I... I..." Why was so hard to speak? Why was so hard to move?
"What do we have here?" one of the men walked to me, he was wearing a gorilla's
mask "Why aren't you on your knees, darling? Don't want to get those gorgeous le
gs dirty?" he was right in front of me now. Fear ran cold through my veins.
"I'm..."
"She's paralyzed by fear" Kaito spoke getting the man's attention. The man stepp
ed towards him and hit him on the head with the gun. Kaito fell back uncincious,
blood began staining the floor.
"Kaito!" I finally screamed trying to get to him but two strong arms stopped me.
"Shh... silence, pretty. I don't want to hurt you" the man whispered in my ear.
I looked away trying to release myself from his grab "Don't do that" he stated p
ressing the gun on my stomach. I froze.
"Please"
"Just be a good girl and everything will be alright" he added forcing me to get
on my knees "That's better" the man with the clown's mask got on one of the tabl
es.
"Everyone stays on the floor. Don't do anything stupid and you will get out of t
his alive, all of you" the man promised "Now, I want all the money right on that
table there. Everyone's money, including the club's profit".
I didn't know when I had started shaking but I was doing it without control righ
t now. I sat and pulled my legs to my chest wrapping my arms around them.
The strippers started putting her profits from the night on the table. When they
were done, the thieves asked for the boss and they ordered him to look for the
club's profit. I couldn't believe this was happening. It had to be a nightmare.
"You" I snapped out of my thoughts. The man wearing the clown mask pointed me "Y
our turn" I could feel my heart beating fast inside my chest. I swear I could fe
el my heartbeats on my ears and throat. The man walked to me because I was not m
oving "I said it was your turn" he grabbed me roughly by my arm and pull me up.
I got on my feet totally scared.
"Hey, hey, clown. Take it easy" the man wearing the gorilla's mask said "Don't y
ou see she's fragile?" the clown let me go and the other man approached to me "G
ive me your money, pretty" I nodded my head and started getting my hands inside
my bra. I didn't put the money there often but that night I had been too busy to
save it in my purse. The man stared lustfully at my breasts while I was doing i
t. I felt disgusted but finally got the money out and offered to him. He took it
from my hand and gave it to the clown.
"Thank you, pretty" he winked at me and then looked at the clown "Can I have som
e fun with her, clown?" no... I froze at his words.
"Yeah, but be quick" No... I immediately stepped back but the man grabbed me by
my arm.
"Collaborate with me, pretty" he said pressing the gun on forehead. I felt tears
rolling down my cheeks.
"Please"
"Shhh... it won't hurt"
"No..." my back hit the wall.
"Stay still" he ordered pressing the gun hard on my forehead. I started sobbing.
"No" his free hand slipped under my short skirt. I shivered in disgust. He cares
sed my thighs shamelessly "Please"
"Silence" his hand went up and touched my breasts roughly "You're so hot" I look
ed away crying quietly. My lips were quivering.
"Put your hands off her!" I heard Kage's scream. The man touching me stopped and
looked at Kage "Look, clown, we have a hero!" Clown pointed his gun at Kage.
"You know what happened to heroes?" Clown asked amused.
"No!" irony's voice sounded deeply scared.
"Oh, a love story" the clown said pretending to be moved. I saw determination on
Irony's face. She was going to run to the man with the gun I had to stop her. T
he man who was touching me was distracted so I walked to Irony quietly "Anyway,
I was saying... oh, right, you know what happened to heroes, right? They die" Cl
own pointed the gun again to Kage. No... Irony ran to him before I could get to
her.
"Irony! No!" I screamed and the next thing I heard was a shot "No!" Irony's limp
body fell to the floor "No!" I tried to run to her but someone wrapped an arm a
round my waist stopping me.
"Where are you going, pretty?" No... no... Irony... I was in shock.
"Irony! Irony!" I called her desperately. She wasn't moving... "No... Irony... n
o!"
"Shh..." the man whispered in my ear. I didn't care about him anymore. One of my
best friends had been shot... she couldn't die... no, she couldn't leave me. Cl
own punched Kage on the face and threatened him. Kage was crying like a baby. No
... she couldn't be dead.
"Please, Irony..." I felt the hot tears rolling down my cheeks freely.
"Stop crying, pretty. You're ruining your cute face" I glared at the clown.
"You're a killer! You killed her!" I screamed, feeling the pain taking over me "
You killed her!"
"Keep those lips shut, cutie" Clown stated recollecting the money "Time to go, g
orilla"
"What about my fun?"
"We have no time for that"
"Damned!" the man let me go and spanked me before following his parents "If you
follow us, we will shoot you, do you understand?" he said before disappearing in
the shadows. Immediately, I ran to Irony.
"Irony!" I exclaimed kneeling in front of her. I held her face, she was so pale.
God, please... I felt relief when I noticed she was still breathing "Irony" my
hands were soon stained with blood; the wound was in her stomach. Dear Lord, the
re was so much blood... "Irony, please... don't do this to me... please..." my v
oice sounded so broken. Kage knelt beside me.
"This is my fault" he said crying quietly.
"Somebody call an ambulance!" I screamed, some of the strippers walked to see Ir
ony.
"It is faster if we take her in a car, the hospital is just few miles away" Kage
spoke so fast. Right, right... the hospital... Kaito... I ran my fingers throug
h my hair.
"Kage, please go and check on Kaito's state, the boy who was with me. and did yo
u bring your car?" Kage nodded "Park it on the club's entry so we can take her i
nside without moving her much" Kage disappeared and did as he was told.
I heard a weak moan of pain and looked down. Irony opened her eyes slowly.
"Irony... can you hear me?" I couldn't stop the tears.
"I...it's so cold"
"Please, stay with me. Can you do that for me?"
"Why are you crying?" she smiled slightly "You look ugly when you cry" I smiled
sadly at her.
"I know, I'm sorry" I kissed her forehead, God she was so cold "Please, stay wit
h me"
"I... I want to sleep"
"No... you can't sleep. You have to stay awake" Kage appeared with Kaito behind
him.
"The car is ready"
"Let's move" I screamed as I stepped away. Kage lifted Irony carefully from the
floor. I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"She'll be ok" Kaito said secure.
"Are you ok?" I asked seeing the blood rolling down his forehead. He nodded.
Once we were all inside Kage's car, I was having a hard time keeping Irony awake
. I was on the back seat. Irony's head was resting on my lap. More and more bloo
d kept coming out of her wound.
"Irony!" I called her when I saw her close her eyes a little "Don't close your e
yes"
"Why? I'm so sleepy... I'm tired. It hurts..." I looked away to cry silently and
gained some strength to talk to her.
"I know, I know it hurts but you can't sleep. You have to stay awake, do it for
me"
"I told you to stop crying, you look really ugly when you do"
"I'm sorry, I can't help it"
"I didn't know..." she swallowed "I didn't know you care for me that much"
"Don't be silly, I love you"
"You do?" her eyes were filled with tears.
"Yes, of course"
"Remember your first night at the club?" she smiled sadly "You had no idea of ho
w to dance on a pole. Everyone started laughing and I..."
"You got on the dance floor and danced beside me" my voice broke.
"I don't know what I did it, I didn't even know you but I got the feeling you we
re a good person and I wasn't wrong"
"Irony..."
"Thank you"
"What?"
"Thank you for being my friend"
"We're going to get to the hospital really soon"
"I'm tired"
"Fight, ok? Once we get to that hospital, you have to promise me you're going to
fight for your life" I felt the car stopping and looked up to see we were in th
e hospital already.
"I promise" she said while Kage was lifting her, taking her from me. We all ran
to the emergency's entry where she was taken in a stretcher quickly. I leaned ag
ainst the wall and let myself fall slowly until I was sitting on the floor.
She couldn't die...
Why was Death so obsessed with the people I loved? What had I done wrong?
Why...
I closed my eyes and prayed for my friend's life because I couldn't deal with lo
sing another person in my life. I just couldn't...

$ The Stripper $
&Chapter 31&
- Life is hard -
I couldn't move. I was sitting on the floor, my back resting against the wall. I
kept my eyes glued to the floor. Tears kept rolling down my face. Irony couldn'
t die, she just couldn't. She couldn't do that to me. I remembered her big smile
; she had the ability of cheering you up so quickly. I smiled sadly at the thoug
ht. Her charisma was unique; I couldn't understand how a person could smile so o
ften. Even though, Irony hadn't had an easy life she managed to be happy. She w
as also so funny. I closed my eyes.
'She's going to be ok' I said inside my head. Kage remained in silence, sitting
on a chair a few steps from me. There was nothing we could say. People passed an
d stared at me, probably because of my outfit but I couldn't care less. I saw a
pair of black shoes invading my sight of the floor and then a hand held my chin
forcing me to look up.
"Ally, do you want me to call him?" Kaito asked worried. I knew he referred to R
aidon. I simply nodded.
"Are you ok?" I asked noticing the white bandage on his forehead.
"Yeah, don't worry about me" he said kneeling in front of me. He looked right in
to my eyes "She'll be ok" tears filled my eyes.
"Thank you" I said honestly "This is second time, you're here with me at the hos
pital supporting me"
"I told you, you could always count on me, didn't I?" I smiled sadly at him.
"Yes" he kissed my forehead.
"I'm gonna call Raidon" he stood up and took his cellphone out of his pocket. I
didn't pay attention to his conversation with my boyfriend. I felt so distant...
as if I wasn't even there, as if this wasn't really happening.
I didn't understand how a life could end in just a few seconds. Irony had been w
orking as usual at the club; I bet she didn't expect this entire thing to happen
. Life could so unpredictable. Seconds, minutes, hours went by and I just didn't
move. It was like I was in the limbo.
"Ally" his voice sent a peaceful sensation through me. I looked up to meet those
dark hazel eyes I loved so much. Tears filled my eyes and I wasn't able to utte
r a word. He knelt in front of me, his hands holding my face "Are you ok?" he as
ked concerned. I slightly nodded and he embraced me tightly. I felt safe. I buri
ed my face in his shoulder, crying silently. I'd been through a lot that awful n
ight. I needed him "Shh, it's gonna be ok" Raidon said caressing my hair.
"I just..." my voice broke.
"It's ok to cry. Everything is gonna be ok" he leaned back looking right into my
eyes.
"You promise?" I asked with hope. He wiped my tears away.
"Yes" he leaned forwards and kissed my forehead "I'm so glad you're ok. I freake
d out when Kaito called me"
"I'm sorry" I said looking down. He held my face.
"Hey, you don't have to apologize"
"I can't believe this..."
"She's gonna be alright, Ally. Irony is a tough girl" I smiled sadly at him.
"Yes, she is" I said remembering all the things she had overcome in her life. Ra
idon helped me to stand up and hugged me again. His strong cologne filled my nos
trils. He smelled so nice. We got some space between each other and Raidon start
ed taking his jacket off "What are you doing?" I asked frowning.
"Take it" he said offering his jacket to me. I grasped it and put it on. I hadn'
t realized it was actually pretty cold in there. Hospitals were usually cold, I
wondered why. Raidon massaged my shoulders "Did they hurt you?" I knew he refer
red to the thieves. I remembered the man with the gorilla's mask, how he had tou
ched me. I pushed the thoughts away.
"No, I'm ok" I lied taking a deep breathe in. Having Raidon around calmed me. He
made me feel safe. He gave me questioning look.
"Are you sure?" I nodded my head. He leaned to me and gave me a short kiss on th
e lips. I sighed when he leaned back. I spotted a doctor coming out of the room
where Irony had been taken. I ran to him, Kage appeared by my side in a blink of
an eye.
"How is she?" I asked on the verge of tears. I noticed how much blood the doctor
's white coat.
"Are you her relatives?"
"Yes" I lied.
"Well, the patient is stabilized for now. We managed to stop the internal bleedi
ng, she's in a critical state right now but she was lucky since the bullet didn'
t pierce any of her vital organs"
"Is she gonna be ok?" I asked feeling Raidon's hands on my shoulders.
"It's too soon to say, for now we just have to wait" I sighed in relief, I knew
Irony was going to fight for her life. She was a fighter.
"Thank you"
"Now, I need you to fill some forms. Does she have insurance?" the doctor said s
eriously.
"Oh, no, she doesn't but don't worry I'll pay for-"
"No, I'll pay" Raidon added stepping beside me.
"Raidon... you don't have to-"
"Let me do this. You won't let me help you with your mom, so please, let me do t
his" he explained grabbing a lock of my hair to place it behind my ear. I smiled
at him.

5 hours later...
"Ally" I sensed someone shaking me by my shoulders. I was so tired and sleepy. I
forced myself to open my eyes. Raidon was staring at me; I could see the fresh
bags under his eyes. He looked sexy. I wanted to pull him to me but the pain on
my back reminded of the place where I was. Hospital's chairs weren't a good opti
on for sleeping.
"Ow!" I complained straightening my body.
"I told you to go to sleep in the car" Raidon said folding her arms across his c
hest.
"No, Irony needs me. I'm not going anywhere" I said yawning.
"She's sedated, Ally"
"I wanna be here when she wakes up" I rubbed my eyes. God, I was so tired. I rea
lized there was sunlight coming in through the hospital's windows "What time is
it?"
"7:35 am" Raidon replied checking his watch "I woke you up to have breakfast"
"I'm not hungry"
"I don't care, you need to eat something" he pulled by my arm gently, forcing me
to get on my feet.
"No, I don't"
"Come on, the cafeteria is just crossing that corner"
"Alright" I started to walk in a slow pace, I was half slept yet. A bold woman p
assed beside us. She reminded of my mother when she had lost all her hair. My mo
ther... "oh shit!" I exclaimed remembering I hadn't called her.
"What's wrong?" Raidon sounded worried.
"Mom... I haven't called, she must be so worried" I stupidly checked the jacket'
s pockets. Of course, my cellphone wasn't there. It was at the club.
"Calm down" Raidon grabbed me by my shoulders "Use my phone" he gave me his cell
phone. And I quickly dialed home.
"Hello?" my mother's voice sounded desperate.
"Hey, mom"
"Oh my God, Ally... thanks God! Are you alright? Where are you?"
"Mom, calm down... I'm ok. I'm at the hospital"
"What?! Dear God, what happened? Are you hurt?"
"No, mom. Please, let me explain. Calm down" I paused and heard her take a deep
breath "Ready?"
"Yes"
"Ok, some thieves got in the club last night. They took all the money and Irony
got shot"
"What?! Did they hurt you? Is she ok?"
"I'm alright. She's fighting for her life right now"
"Which hospital is it? I want to go"
"No, you need to stay home and rest"
"No way, I'm going over there. You need me"
"Mom, please, Raidon is here. I'm ok, stay there"
"Alyssa Lambert, as your mother I demand the name of the hospital you're at. You
haven't counted on me for so long; let me be there for you"
"Mom..."
"Please..."
"Alright, it's Saint Benito's hospital. We are in the emergency wing" I heard Al
ex's voice at the background.
"We'll be there soon, love you sweetie"
"Love you too, mom" I hung up letting go a long sigh.
"Let's eat" he said holding my hand to pull me forwards. I felt butterflies in m
y stomach because of the way he was walking beside me. Even though, people stare
d at me because of my outfit. Raidon seemed proud of holding my hand and walking
beside me. I had never felt so good in my life before. He didn't judge me for w
hat I did for living and that meant so much to me. He wasn't ashamed of me. I st
opped walking, tears started filling my eyes. Raidon noticed I wasn't moving and
turned to me.
"Thank you" my voice broke. Raidon scowled at me. A tear rolled down my cheek.
"Hey, hey no more crying" he said wiping my tear away.
"I just..." I bit my lower lip to stop more tears from coming "Thank you for bei
ng so good to me"
"Ally..."
"Thank you for holding my hand, I know it sounds weird and..." I paused looking
into his eyes "I don't even know what I'm saying but it just means a lot to me"
Raidon held my face with both hands.
"You don't need to thank me for that. You're the girl I love. If me holding your
hand makes you so happy, I will do it for the rest of my life" I smiled at him
"Because that's my goal, Ally. I love you; I want you to be happy. You deserve i
t"
"I do?" I asked looking at him.
"Yes, you're the strongest and most amazing girl I have ever met"
"Even if I strip for living?"
"Yes, don't be ashamed of being who you are. Life has been hard for you. And I a
dmire the way you have managed to overcome your hard times"
"I just..." tears kept rolling down my cheeks "I never expected to be loved, I n
ever expected to have such a great guy beside me" Raidon gave me a big smile.
"Well, your expectations suck because I'm right here and I have no intention of
going anywhere" he leaned to me and kissed me softly. My lips received him anxio
usly.
How I loved that man...
He appeared in my life, just in the right time, when I had felt I had no strengt
h left. He appeared to make me feel alive, to have strength for me. I had never
felt as lucky as I was feeling right in that moment.
"I love you" Raidon whispered on my lips softly. I smiled and kept on kissing hi
m because he made me forget all my troubles. When I kissed those lips it was lik
e the word around me vanished and there was only me and him there.
That's the power of true love and I was glad I was able to feel it.

Welcome home
"Irony!" I couldn't help screaming her name when I got inside her room. The doc
tor had just informed us that she was awake. Irony was lying on a hospital bed.
She looked so pale, she had an IV in her left arm and her body was covered with
the white sheets. She stared at me, a smile on her full lips.
"Hey"
"God, I was so scared" I said approaching to her, holding her hand gently. I not
iced the coldness on her skin.
"I'm not going anywhere. You wouldn't survive without me" she said arrogantly. I
smiled at her.
"You're right, how could I survive without you?" I pretended a dramatic tone. Ir
ony gave me a close mouth smile "does it hurt?" I asked pointing her stomach. I
knew the place where her wound had been.
"Nope, I can't even feel my body. I'm kind of high"
"Enjoy it then... do you see rainbows?"
"What?"
"High people are supposed to see rainbows, right?" Irony frowned and then chuckl
ed.
"What are you? Nine?"
"What?" Irony sighed and shook her head "do you see rainbows or not?" I teased,
I was curious.
"Forget about the damned rainbows, Ally" Irony laughed and then held her stomach
"Ow! Ow!"
"Oh God, are you ok?"
"Just don't make me laugh, alright?"

"Alright" I said nodding quickly. The last thing I wanted was to cause her pain
. Irony wetted her dry lips and stared at me "I'm so glad you're ok" I spoke sof
tly, looking down.
"I know" she squeezed my hand "I'm a tough girl, remember?" I nodded feeling tea
rs in my eyes.
"You have no idea how scared I was"
"I know, thanks for being here for me. I was afraid of not seeing anyone here wh
en I woke up. I have no family so..." she swallowed and looked away.
"You have me, I am family." She looked at me again, tears filling her eyes.
"Thank you"
"You have nothing to thank me for"
"You're a great person, Ally" I smiled at her, a tear rolled down my cheek.
"Oh, stop this, you're making me cry" I wiped the tear away and took a deep brea
th "You're ok so we should be smiling and happy"
"You're right. Besides, you look awful when you cry"
"Ah, shut up!" I punched her shoulder softly.
"Ow!"
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry, did I hurt you?" Irony chuckled.
"Nope"
"Then why..." she shrugged her shoulders.
"I like teasing you"
"You're evil" I said shaking my head.
"So where's your hot boyfriend?" she asked casually.
"He's outside"
"Alone?"
"No, Kage is with him" I replied, and I noticed Irony looking down "Kage was rea
lly worried about you"
"Yeah, I know"
"He cares for you"
"I know, Ally. It's just... he's not ready for a serious relation-ship and I am"

"I see but do you love him?"
"No, I really like him but..."
"But?"
"I can't stop thinking about Alex"
"What? My brother?"
"Yeah, I know it sounds crazy but since the first time I saw him... I can't get
him out of my head"
"Irony..."
"I know I know I'm not good enough for him"
"No, it's not that. It's kind of complicated"
"What do you mean?" I sighed.
"This is not the right time to talk about this"
"Oh please, Ally be honest to me"
"You're actually too good for him, Irony. He can be really immature sometimes"
"I'm too good for him? Ally, I'm a stripper"
"That's the problem"
"What? You don't want your brother to date a stripper like me?" she scowled at m
e, hurt plastered on her face.
"No, this is not about that" I sighed in frustration "Alex judges strippers, tha
t's it. He thinks we're just lazy sluts that don't want a decent job. Well, the
only exception for him it's me"
"Oh"
"I'm sorry"
"It's ok, I'm not surprise"
"He can be a jerk sometimes"
"It's ok, Ally. Don't worry" I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" Irony said quickly, but I noticed the sadness on her eyes. I had expec
ted to see Raidon or even Kage but not...
"Mom?" I asked totally shocked. I had completely forgotten she was coming here.
A figure appeared behind her "Alex?" yes, my brother stepped in casually. He was
wearing one of those shirts he loved and a leather jacket. His big blue eyes la
nded on Irony. She blushed quickly and looked away.
"Oh darling," my mom started walking to my friend. She caressed Irony's hair sof
tly. My mother was a very affectionate person "How are you feeling?"
"I'm ok, Mrs. Lambert"
"Oh please, call me Amanda" mom gave her a warm smile "you're a strong young lad
y"
"I guess I am" Irony said smiling. I stared at Alex who remained completely stil
l, his back resting against the wall. He kept looking around, trying to look uni
nterested. Wait... I knew that reaction... that was what he did when he felt ner
vous. He usually avoided eye contact and remained looking around like a scared c
hild. Was he nervous about seeing Irony?
"Alex" I called him. He barely glanced at me.
"Yeah?" ok, I confirmed it: my brother was nervous.
"Nothing"
For the next minutes, my mother talked to Irony entertaining her. Alex didn't ut
ter a word and I just sat on a hospital chair next to Irony. I was really tired.

"Ally" my mother's voice woke me up. Wait... when did I fall asleep?
"Huh?"
"Let's go buy some flowers to this brave young lady. This room is so white" my m
om grimaced in disgust. Yeah, my mother loved colors.
"Yes, let's go" I held my mother's hand and opened the door. Alex wanted to foll
ow us but I shut the door before he could go out. Outside, Kage and Raidon were
both talking sitting next to each other.
"How is she?" Kage asked standing up.
"She's ok" I said and approached to the closed door. I leaned forwards, pressing
my ear against the wooden door.
"Ally, what are you doing?" I heard mom asking me from behind.
"Shhhh, I'm trying to listen" I pressed my ear harder but nothing. They were bot
h in silence. What didn't my brother say something? They were alone for God sake
s.
"So, how do you feel?" I heard Alex's voice. Yes, he was finally speaking.
"I'm good" Irony replied softly.
"Ally! That's rude" Mom said trying to pull me by my shoulders. I didn't move a
muscle.
"That's a pretty jacket" Irony complimented.
"Thanks, it's my favorite" Alex replied casually. That was not his favorite jack
et.
"Liar" I murmured to myself.
"So," Alex continued nervously "Is that your boyfriend outside?"
"Who? Kage?"
"The big muscled one"
"Yeah, that's Kage" Irony affirmed "he's my ex-boyfriend actually"
"Oh, I see"
"Why?" Irony asked, curiosity filling her voice. 'God, this is so exciting' I th
ought.
"I was just curious" Alex replied quickly. I giggled and felt a pinch in my ear.
"Ow!" I complained, being pulled backwards by my ear "Mom! I'm not child anymore
"
"Listening behind closed doors, you should be ashamed of yourself! Come on, let'
s go" she let me go and pushed me to the corridor. Raidon walked to us, a big sm
irk on his face.
"What?" I asked folding my arms across my chest. Raidon gave me a short kiss.
"You and your mother are really funny"
"I know" my mother said winking at us. I gave her a killer look.
"I was having a good time there" I pointed Irony's door that was soon left behin
d us.
"I could tell" Raidon said patting my head.
"Hey!" I slapped his hand "Stop treating me like a child" his dark eyes showed h
is amusement.
"Sure" I narrowed my eyes at him.
"I'm serious" he raised his hands in a peace sign.
"Ok" he held my hand and pulled towards the direction my mom was going. Right, w
e were going to look for flowers to give to Irony. Curiosity was running to me;
how I wished I could have listened a little bit more of Irony's conversation wit
h my brother "Stop thinking about it" Raidon's soft voice whispered in my ear, a
warm shiver ran through my spine.
"How do you know...ah, never mind"
After walking through I don't know how many streets, we found a florist shop. My
mother's face was illuminated with happiness when she saw it.
"There it is!"
"We could have come in the car, mom" I said worried. She shouldn't be walking th
at much, she was weak.
"I'm alright, let's get inside!" she said opening the door and almost jumping in
side like an excited child.
"Is she always like that?" Raidon asked smiling sweetly.
"Yeah" I nodded my head.
Florist shops were like heaven to my mother. She loved flowers, especially the c
olorful ones.
I sighed; it was playtime for my mother. I couldn't help smiling at the thought.


Two weeks later... (A/N Play the song now)
"No! Mom! Don't!" I screamed while she was painting my cheeks with red watercolo
r.
"Stay still"
"This is not necessary"
"Yes it is" I could feel the warm paint getting dry in my cheeks.
"We all look like clowns" I complained staring at myself in the mirror.
"Come on, let's go downstairs"
"I finished!" I heard Marissa scream from the living room. For the past two week
s we had been taking turns to go to the hospital and take care of Irony. Marissa
, my mother, Raidon, Kaito, Kage and even Alex... they had all been there for Ir
ony. They had behaved like really good friends. We remained together like a fami
ly. I felt like this dark time had pulled us all together. We all had become re
ally close.
Today, Irony was leaving the hospital and my mother offered her to stay with us
so we could take care of her while she recovered completely. And of course, my m
other had prepared a big welcome party. As I walked downstairs, I saw the big co
lorful balloons on the walls. I stepped on the living room and smiled when I saw
a big poster that said "Welcome home, we love you" it had different happy faces
and hearts. I knew my mother had drawn them.
"Oh my God!" Marissa managed to say before bursting into laughing "Yoo-our fa-fa
-ce" she stuttered laughing and holding her stomach. I gave her a killer look. K
aito was sitting on the couch, his cheeks were red... poor thing he was tired of
inflating balloons. He looked at me and laughed, joining Marissa.
"Yeah, yeah, enjoy it" I said sarcastically.
"The cake is ready!" Kage exclaimed walking out of the kitchen. Yeah, I know it'
s really unexpected to know Kage could cook and he could do it really well. I ha
d never pictured some as big and muscled as Kage cooking in my kitchen. Kage's e
yes met mine and he started laughing as well. I sighed. I felt two strong arms b
eing wrapped around my waist and then a warm breath on the back of my neck.
"Don't pay attention to them" Raidon whispered in my ear, I turned around to fac
e him. He kept his arms around me. I looked into his dark eyes, getting lost in
them.
"Aren't you going to laugh?" I asked wrapping my arms around his neck. He leaned
to me, our noses touched softly.
"No, I think you look beautiful" we were so close.
"Really?" he kissed me softly. My lips moved with his in a slow rhythm, he taste
d so good. He stopped for a moment.
"You know, the doctor took my stiches off yesterday" he murmured on my lips. I s
miled and leaned backwards.
"So?" I teased smirking at him.
"Well, I can... you know..." I couldn't help blushing quickly.
"Raidon!"
"What?" I giggled; I was dying to be naked in his arms again. We hadn't been abl
e to have sex for two entire weeks because of his stiches. I was dying... really
... every time Raidon kissed me I was on fire "I know you want it too" he said m
ischievously.
"Maybe"
"Maybe?" he bit my lower lip playfully. I felt a balloon hitting the back of my
head.
"Get a room!" Marissa exclaimed from the couch. I chuckled and held Raidon's han
d pulling him to the living room.
"She's coming!" my mother screamed coming downstairs "Alex just called me, they'
re about to get here" I grinned when I saw paint on my mother's fingers "Marissa
, come here quickly"
"Amanda, I don't thi-" my mother started painting her cheeks before she could fi
nish. I was really enjoying this. Marissa looked so funny with her painted green
cheeks "Yeah, enjoy it" she gave me a killer look. We heard the door being open
ed and we all turned to it.
"1...2...3! Welcome home!" we all screamed, Irony stood in the door absolutely f
rozen. Alex was behind her. We were all smiling at her. Her eyes were filled wit
h tears and she looked down, sobbing softly.
"Alright, that was not the reaction I was expecting" I said frowning. My mother
walked to her.
"What's wrong, sweetie?"
"I'm sorry, I just... I wasn't expecting this... I never had a family and..." my
mother embraced her tightly.
"You have a family now, sweetie. Don't cry" my mother kissed Irony's hair. They
broke the embrace and Irony stared at us.
"Don't cry, you silly" I ordered shaking my head.
"Thank you... this is beautiful... you guys are amazing" she stated wiping her t
ears away.
"Aw! Come here" Marissa offered her arms to her, Irony walked to us and we all g
ave her a big group hug.
"We are family now" I said pinching her cheeks. I smiled as a thought came to my
mind.
Sometimes, family is not only your relatives. Sometimes, people can become a par
t of you, a part of your life, and we were all a big example of that because no
matter how many mistakes we had made, we remained together. We had supported eac
h other in our darkest times and that's what a real family does.

"Oh Raidon..." I whispered softly.
"Ally..." he kissed me desperately, his hands touching my body savagely.
"Alyssa" I felt a tap on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and realized I was in the
middle of my laws history class. I hadn't slept properly the night before. Mom
, Irony and I had gone to bed late. We had been watching a comedy movie. Marissa
was in the seat right behind me.
"I'm awake" I notified her and she removed her hand from my shoulder. After two
hours of struggling not to fall asleep right there, we left the classroom. We d
ecided to have lunch in the cafeteria as usual.
"Why are you so sleepy?" Marissa asked sitting down, placing her chicken soup on
the table.
"I stayed up late last night" I replied and yawned.
"What were you doing?"
"Just hanging out with mom and Irony" I said staring at my food.
"You must be having fun there. I'm so jealous" I smiled at her.
"You can join us anytime, silly"
"I know" she stated grinning at me "You know, Irony told me the other day she li
ked Alex. How's that going?"
"Oh, well... Alex seems to be avoiding her"
"Really?"
"Yeah, but that's a good thing. I know him, he probably likes her too so that's
why he's staying away"
"Oh, I see" for a moment, I saw a flash of sadness in Marissa's eyes. I frowned
but didn't comment about it.
We finished our lunch and headed to the parking lot.
"Do you want a ride home?" Marissa offered knowing I hadn't brought my car.
"No, thanks. Raidon is coming for me" she gave me a closed mouth smile and got i
nside her car.
"See you tomorrow" I waved my hand at her. I scanned around but didn't spot Raid
on's car. I sighed; maybe he got something at work. Curiosity invaded my mind. I
wondered how the place where Raidon worked was. I couldn't help feeling lucky;
Raidon was a really smart guy besides he was hot.
A pair of strong arms were wrapped around my waist from behind. I jumped in surp
rised but relaxed when I heard his husky voice.
"Hey, beautiful" I turned around to face him. My breath was caught inside my lun
gs. He was wearing his usual black suit but the tie was loose and his dark hair
was messy. He looked so sexy, like a perfume model. He smirked at me "Stop drool
ing, silly" he caressed my cheek.
"I wasn't drooling" I lied.
"Right" he pulled me to him and gave me a short kiss "How was your day?"
"It was good but I almost fell asleep in class"
"I told you not to stay up late last night" he shook his head.
"Try saying no to my mother and Irony. It's impossible" I said remembering Irony
's begs and my mother's puppy eyes. Raidon chuckled.
"I can imagine, let's go" he held my hand and pulled me towards his car.

Raidon was driving in silence while I was watching outside through the car's win
dow. The wind was brushing my hair back; I loved to feel the breeze against my s
kin. I had to beg Raidon to open the window. Apparently, my boyfriend didn't lik
e driving with the windows opened but since he couldn't deny a thing to me, he p
leased me.
"You really enjoy that, don't you?" he asked. I just looked at him and smiled. H
e glanced at me but then his eyes were back on the road ahead us.
"Hey, that's the street to get to my house" I pointed the Madison's street we we
re leaving behind. I frowned "Where are we going?"
"My place" he replied in a husky tone. I could see his big smirk.
"Oh" I couldn't help blushing a little "why?" I asked stupidly.
"You haven't been there in a long time, since the night I lost my stiches" he ex
plained and glanced at me to watch my reaction. I was sure he saw my red cheeks.
I looked away "don't do that"
"Do what?" I scowled at him.
"Don't blush like that, you look adorable and it makes me want to jump over you"
he squeezed the staring wheel. I stayed in silence for the next few minutes.
Finally, we arrived to his building. After Raidon parked his car we went straigh
t to the elevator, as soon as the elevator's doors closed, the sexual tension be
tween us increased quickly. Raidon's dark eyes stared at me intensively. I wette
d my dry lips. I felt totally naked in front of him even when I was fully dresse
d.
"What?" I asked swallowing.
"I want you so bad that I want to take your skirt up and fuck you right here, ri
ght now" I stopped breathing for a moment. The elevator's door went opened, snap
ping me out of my trance. I walked in Raidon's apartment nervously. I could feel
my heart pounding desperately inside my chest. I went to the kitchen and got a
glass of water to calm my nervousness a little. Raidon's words had really got me
hot. He hadn't even touched me and I was already burning. I felt him behind me
, his breathing on the back of my neck. He placed his hands on my hips and I cou
ld feel his hardness on my ass, it sent a tingle sensation through me.
"Raidon..."
"Shhh" his hands went up and he grasped my boobs roughly. He began rubbing his h
ardness against me while he was licking my earlobe. My nipples were getting hard
as he was massing my breasts. A sigh of pleasure left my lips. I wanted him so
bad. I turned around and he kissed me desperately. His tongue invaded my mouth r
oughly. My entire body was throbbing. Raidon placed his hands on my buttocks and
squeezed them lustfully. I moaned in his lips "I can't wait any longer" he whis
pered biting my lower lip and lifting me to put me on the table. I sat and sprea
d my legs for him to get between them. His lips crashed against mine quickly. He
unbuttoned my shirt, realizing my boobs. His warm mouth sucked my nipples. I ar
ched towards him, moaning loudly. I was so excited. He took my skirt up and then
took my panties off. He kissed me lustfully while he was unzipping his pants.
"Raidon..." I said among moans and sighs of pleasures. I felt his manhood touchi
ng my entry. Expectation sent waves of lust through me.
"You're mine" he whispered and entered me in a fast move. I let go a quiet screa
m. It hurt me a little but it went away when he started thrusting himself agains
t me.
"Rai-ah!" he bit my neck lustfully. His hips clashed into my thighs with every t
hrust he made. He licked my earlobe.
"Ally, you're so warm" I bit my lower lip, the pleasure was unbelievable. Raidon
and I were definitely meant to be together. Our bodies seemed to match perfectl
y. his thrust became harder and faster. I felt a great sensation filling my body
.
"Raidon!" I screamed while I was collapsing, reaching the orgasm. Raidon kept fu
cking me for a few more minutes and then came inside me.
We were both breathing heavily and sweating. Raidon rested his head on my should
er.
"That was fast" I commented trying to regain my regular breathing.
"I needed you" Raidon added leaning back and then kissed my lips softly.
"You couldn't wait we got to the bed, could you?"
"No" he smirked "and this is just the beginning" he added wrapping his arms arou
nd me to lift me from the table and put me on the floor.
"The beginning?" I scowled at him.
4 hours later...
"Oh, God" I exclaimed breathing heavily. I was lying on my back. Raidon and I ha
d made love for the 3th time and I was exhausted "I have never been so physicall
y tired in my entire life" I said wiping the sweat off my forehead. Raidon staye
d in silence with his eyes closed. I looked aside to stare at him and caressed h
is cheek. He opened his eyes and smiled at me.
"I love you" he said looking right into my eyes.
"I love you, too" I said placing my head on his chest. He caressed my hair softl
y until I fell asleep.
Something was warming my back. But I didn't want to open my eyes. I was so comfo
rtable; I was lying on my stomach. For a moment, I felt observed so I opened my
eyes slowly. I met a pair of dark eyes. Raidon was staring at me, his dark eyes
looked hazel thanks to the sunlight coming in through the window. I was going to
say good morning but before I could speak, he said 7 words that left me absolut
ely breathless.
"I want you to move in with me" I was speechless. My brain hadn't even woken up
entirely and he threw those words like it was nothing. I blinked trying to make
sure I was awake. I sat up, keeping the sheets against my naked breasts. For a
moment, I just stared at the red sheets covering me. They had the color of blood
. I wondered where Raidon had gotten them, they were so soft. What? What the hel
l was I thinking? Raidon had just asked me to move in with him and I was thinkin
g about his sheets "Ally?" he held my hand but I just jumped out of bed.
"I have to take a shower" I said wrapping the sheets around me. I didn't even lo
ok at him and stormed off.
I walked in the bathroom and rested my back against the door. I was freaking out
, I was definitely freaking out and I didn't know what to do. I tried to breathe
... failed. I took the quickest shower of my life and got out of the bathroom. I
got my clothes from the floor, and got dressed. Raidon was sitting on the bed,
observing me.
"Ally, look at me"
"I can't"
"Ally, please" he said standing up. I grasped my purse and started walking away.

"I have to go, I'm sorry"
"Wait... where are you going? Ally!" I spotted him getting dressed so I ran to t
he elevator and got away.
Once I got my feet on the street, the morning sun welcomed me. I waved my hand a
t a passing cap. It stopped and I quickly slid inside. I told the driver my addr
ess and closed my eyes.
30 minutes later
"What?!" Irony screamed once I told her the story.
"Shhh, you're gonna wake my mother up" I said covering her mouth.
"You ran? You just ran?" Irony asked totally shocked "Are you out of your mind?"
"I'm sorry... I freak out, ok? It happened just like the first time he said he l
oved me, I totally freak out"
"Oh, Ally, poor Raidon, how could you just leave him like that?" she said fixing
her short pajama dress.
"What could I do? I didn't know what to say so I just ran away"
"You're a coward" Irony added shaking her head "he must be so worried right now.
He's gonna think he ruined things between you two"
"No, he didn't ruin anything. I just wasn't prepared to deal with that question"
Irony sighed and kept preparing some pancakes. We were in the kitchen, as soon
as I got home, I looked for her. Thanks God, she was awake.
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know" I frowned when I saw her bending over to grasp something from the
floor "Irony, you shouldn't be doing this" I said walking to her.
"I'm fine"
"The doctor said you should rest" Irony rolled her eyes.
"I'm fine, preparing some pancakes won't kill me" she pushed me away "We have mo
re important things to deal with right now" she pointed my cellphone, which was
obviously vibrating on the table. I didn't need to check the screen to know it w
as Raidon.
"I can't talk to him. I don't know what to say"
"Tell him that"
"What?"
"Tell him that he caught you out of guard and you need to think about it"
"Since when did you become an expert in love stuffs?"
"Well, watching so many soap operas with your mother actually helps" she winked
at me. I smiled and answered my cellphone.
"Hey" I greeted awkwardly.
"Ally, I'm sorry, I didn'-"
"Shh, no, Raidon it's ok. I just need to think about it, that's all"
"Oh, are you sure? If the idea sounds wrong to you, just forget about it"
"I just need to think about it, Ray"
"Okay... I was so worried"
"I'm sorry for leaving like that. I just needed to be alone, you know, to think"
"Yes, I totally understand"
"Well..."
"I'll call you later, love you" he said and I hung up before I could reply. I si
ghed and put the cellphone back on the table.
"See?" Irony asked placing two juicy pancakes in front of me "It wasn't that bad
"
"He's sad, I can feel it"
"He'll be fine, now, eat. You look dehydrated. You had a night of wild sex, didn
't you?" was it that obvious? "The word sex is written on your forehead" Irony j
oked sitting in the seat across me.
"Very funny"
"I want the details" Irony demanded excited.
"And Irony is back!" I mocked and then gave my pancake a bite.
"What? Oh come on, it's not like I'm going to ask you the size of his dick" I sp
itted pancake on Irony's face.
"Irony!"
"Ah, Ally! Gross!" she complained cleaning her face.
"What's going on?" Alex walked in, rubbing his eyes. He was only in his pajama s
horts. My brother had a very well defined body. Immediately, Irony blushed and l
ooked down.
"Nothing, we were just chatting" I replied smiling.
"I could hear your voices from upstairs" he added walking to the fridge and gett
ing some apple juice "that looks tasty" he complimented the pancakes.
"Thanks" Irony replied shyly. I frowned, Irony had always been a straight forwar
ds and easy-going girl but when she was in front of my brother, she just became
a little girl in love. But she was more nervous than usual this time. Something
had happened between them. Alex stared at her legs shamelessly.
"Alex!"
"What?" he played the fool. I shook my head. He glanced at Irony one more time a
nd left the kitchen. I folded my arms across my chest, chewing my pancake.
"Irony"
"Huh?"
"Look at me" I demanded knowing she was hiding something. She looked at me and s
wallowed "What happened?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Irony, I know you" she sighed.
"But you have to promise you won't do a thing. And you can't say a word about it
"
"Oh, dear, did you have sex with him?"
"What?! No!" she replied shaking her head.
"Alright, tell me"

Irony's flashback
"Hit me with your best shot" I sang while I was putting my pajama dress on "Why
don't hit me with your best shot?" I kept singing that old song for a while. I h
ad just taken a shower. The stiches from my stomach had just been removed this d
ay; the doctor said I should be careful though. I felt great but I couldn't danc
e or do any exhausting activities yet including sex. I sighed in frustration, I
loved sex but well, I didn't even have a boyfriend so I just had to get used to
touch myself three or two times a week. I was a much opened minded person so I d
idn't really care about talking so openly about it.
I got really thirsty from all the singing so I stepped out of my room and starte
d my way through the hallway to the stairs. But then Alex walked out of his room
and stayed still in front of his door. My heart stopped for a moment and I swal
lowed.
"Hey" I said passing in front of him. I didn't even look at him; I kept my eyes
on the floor.
"Wait" his manly tone sent shivers through me. I stopped but didn't turn around.
"You need something from the kitchen?" really? That was all I could think of say
ing? In a matter of seconds, he was right behind me. He placed his hands on my h
ips. I turned around quickly and stepped back, breaking all contact with him. He
was smirking at me. He pushed me roughly against the wall and held my chin.
"You enjoy provoking me, don't you?" he whispered in my ear.
"No... Alex" I could feel his heavy breathing on my neck and ear. I tried to pus
h him away but failed. He held my hand and pulled me inside his room "Alex, I di
dn't... I never..." why was I so nervous around him? He closed the room's door
and pushed me against it.
"Don't play the innocent with me" he stated holding my chin, forcing me to meet
his eyes.
"I don't kn-" his thump caressed my lower lip lustfully.
"Don't play with me, you're always wearing this type of short dresses" he slippe
d his hand under my dress. I froze at the contact of his hand with my thighs. He
was touching me shamelessly "You're always provoking me, driving me crazy" he b
uried his face in my neck and started licking it.
"No... Alex... stop... don't"
"I know you like me" he whispered on my skin. I shivered but tried to release my
self.
"Alex, stop it. I mean it" I begged but felt how my body was getting hot. I real
ly liked him but things weren't supposed to be that way. He bit my earlobe; I he
ld back a sigh "Alex..."
"Be silent" his hand went up and touched my boobs above the dress' material
"No" he turned me around and I felt my face against the door. His hand started t
aking my dress up. I felt so exposed "Please, stop"
"You're so hot" he said squeezing my buttocks.
"Please, Alex" he approached his face to my ear, rubbing himself against me. He
was hard.
"You're going to be mine and you know it" I felt his hand taking my panties down
.
"No..." my body was screaming yes but I knew I had to stop him "The doctor said
I can't have sex" I quickly said among sighs. Alex stopped.
"That's the only thing keeping you safe for now" he said letting me go. I took m
y panties up and ran away from that room.
End of Irony's flashback
"I'm going to kill him!" I screamed getting up.
"No! Ally, you promised"
"How could he do such a thing?"
"It's okay, maybe he's right... I shouldn't wear short dresses"
"No, Irony, there's no way you're gonna blame yourself for this. That stupid, sa
dist bastard!" I was really angry.
"It's okay, I'm fine" she said smiling.
"He can't treat you like that"
"I know, I will talk to him about it"
"Irony if he does something like that again, please let me know"
"I will"
"Promise it" Irony sighed.
"I promise"
I knew I still had to deal with Raidon's proposition but I was trying to avoid t
hinking about. Did I want to live with him? Was I ready for that? I sighed; it w
as going to be a long day.

$ The Stripper $
Chapter 34
Pain
The sound of my fingernails clashing into the table in front of me was all I cou
ld hear. I was in the cafeteria at college, waiting for Raidon. We had agreed to
meet this day, at lunch time. It'd been two days since he had asked me to move
in with him but I had needed an entire day to figure out the words I wanted to s
ay as an answer. Even though, the cafeteria was crowed and noisy, I still only h
eard the nervous sound of my nails against the table. I checked my phone, and th
ere were not new messages or missed calls. He had texted me 5 minutes, saying he
was at the parking lot that he was already heading to the cafeteria.
I ran my fingers through my hair and that was when I spotted him entering the ca
feteria. He looked sexily disheveled as he usually did when he was coming for wo
rk. It surprised me to see him wearing a dark blue suit since I had always seen
him in black. I didn't understand how it was possible for him to take my breath
away each time I saw him. I noticed many girls drooling and staring at him shame
lessly. A flash of jealousy crossed me but I controlled myself. Raidon stopped i
n the middle of the place and his dark eyes scanned around, looking for me. I ra
ised my hand and he saw me, then proceed to give me a close mouth smile. I swear
I counted every step he gave towards my table.
Finally, he stopped right beside me and leaned down to kiss me shortly. My lips
felt cold when he leaned back and went to sit across me. For a moment, we just s
tayed in silence staring at each other. I swallowed and proceed to talk.
"Hey"
"Hey, I missed you" he said and extended his hand to caress my cheek. I blushed
at his sweet gesture.
"I'm sorry for... you know, making you wait...and stuff" Oh God, I was nervous!
He smiled at me.
"It was just a day, don't worry"
"Yeah, I know" what was wrong with me? I had a whole speech prepared for this! S
tarting from hello to goodbye but now that he was there, I couldn't even remembe
r a word. Raidon rested his hand on my mine.
"It's okay, Ally. No need to be so nervous, it's just me" he gave me a warm smil
e. He was right, it was just him. I knew him, I loved him. He was one of the few
people I trusted in this world.
"I can't move in with you" his smile vanished and I felt terrible for a second "
I mean, I want to be with you and nothing would make happier than living with yo
u but I can't leave my mom right now. She needs me and I want to be with her as
much time as possible since...you know" I looked down. Raidon squeezed my hand.
"Hey... it's okay, I understand" he said softly. I looked up and bit my lower li
p "Actually, I feel terrible for even asking you to move in with me when I know
what you're being through" his fingers caressed the back of my hand slowly. It f
elt really relaxing "There's no rush" I sighed in relief.
"I was so scared" I admitted.
"You're so silly. There was no need to be scared" he looked right into my eyes,
his dark eyes melting my heart "I love you and I know you love me, so everything
is cool" I grinned at him.
"You are amazing. You know that, don't you?"
"Well, I have my moments" he replied smirking..
"Yeah right" I said rolling my eyes. He chuckled
"You look funny when you do that" he sounded amused. I shook my head holding a s
mile back. I looked at him noticing bags under his eyes.
"How was your day?" I asked worried. He hadn't probably slept well. I really hop
ed it didn't have something to do with me.
"It was exhausting" he replied yawning.
"You should rest then. Let's go" I said getting up.
We left the cafeteria holding hands. I could feel the stares of envy from the gi
rls around but didn't really care. Raidon drove in silence, yawning a few times.
I knew his mind was on something. He wasn't usually this quiet.
"Is there something wrong, Ray?" I finally asked.
"No" he replied quickly, parking his car.
We arrived to his building in a few minutes. We used the elevator and then enter
ed his apartment. It looked lonely. I walked to his room and noticed some opened
and empty drawers. I frowned in confusion. Raidon walked in after me.
"I thought you have placed all your clothes here already" I pointed the empty dr
awers. Raidon scratched the back of his head.
"Yeah, that's... I was thinking..." I turned around to face him. Oh my God, he w
as blushing.
"What?"
"Er... I thought you may need some drawers to..."
"Oh, if I move in with you" I understood now but I felt bad.
"Don't worry, I'll fill them back with my clothes" I held his face.
"No, I'll bring some clothes here in case I stay a night or two during the week"
he gave me a sweet smile, showing those perfect white teeth of his.
"Okay, that sounds good to me" he said kissing my forehead and then embraced me
tightly "You don't know how much you mean to me" he kissed my hair. I smiled ple
asantly in his arms, his perfume filling my nostrils. I loved the way he smelled
. I don't know for how long we stayed like that but I just didn't want that mome
nt to end. I felt loved and safe, having him so close.
"God, I love you" I mumbled in his chest. He broke the embrace and lifted me to
carry me bridal style.
"I love you more, sweet lady" I looked up and found him staring down at me. He c
arried me to the bed and lay me down carefully. He started taking my shoes off.
"What are you do-ah!" I burst into laughing when he started tickling my bare fee
t "Stop it!" he stopped chuckling and then started taking his clothes off until
he was only in his underwear. He crawled to be on top of me. His eyes looked rig
ht into mine "Are you going to rape me?" I teased feeling his naked body. He smi
rked.
"Maybe"
"Oh, I'm so scared" I used a dramatic tone. He rolled over getting off me. Then,
He hugged me, resting his head on my chest.
"I just want to sleep right here" he said getting comfortable on my breasts. I
caressed his hair and fell asleep in a few minutes.

5 hours later...
A soft sound dragged me out of my sleep. I opened my eyes slowly, finding pure d
arkness around me. I blinked a couple times while my eyes were getting used to m
y surroundings. A slight light was coming in through the crystal window. I was l
aying on my stomach, Raidon's arm was wrapped around my waist. I could feel his
warm body next to mine. I grabbed his arm carefully to put it off me. I sat rubb
ing my eyes.
What time was it? I glanced at Raidon and he was swimming in dreamland. He looke
d so innocent with his eyes closed. I didn't want to disturb him so I got up car
efully.
Vip...
That sound reminded of the reason I had woken up. There was a phone ringing some
where. I grasped my purse and searched for my phone. I checked and frowned.
No new messages.
Vip...
The annoying sound was coming from somewhere around the floor, I spotted Raidon'
s pants and headed to them.
Vip...
I founded his phone and looked at the screen.
2 new messages.
Curiosity invaded me. I shouldn't check his phone without his permission, right?
But it was just so tempting. I bit my lower lip not knowing what to do. I sighe
d, pressing the 'Read' bottom. I froze as I read the message.
From: K.G
I had a great time last night.
My body went numb while a shot of pain went through me. My heart started poundin
g desperately. My hands began to sweat. I couldn't move, I couldn't utter a word
. 'Calm down' I whispered to myself. I couldn't start thinking the worst; maybe
it was just a friend. I proceed to read the next message.
From: K.G
You left some clothes here. Come and get them soon. Miss you already.
Tears sprung to my eyes. That didn't sound like a friend to me. i felt a strong
pain in my chest, which left me breathless for a few seconds. This couldn't be h
appening. I was about to put his phone back in his pants when...
Vip...
Another message received.
I quickly read it, holding my chest with my free hand.
From: K.G.
Your smell is all over my bed. I want to feel you again. Come over.
I dropped the phone that produced a soft sound when it hit the floor. I couldn't
breathe. Now, everything made sense. That was why Raidon was so tired. That's w
hy he didn't even touch me this afternoon. He had spent the night God knows doin
g what with a girl. He cheated on me. I couldn't believe it. My mind couldn't pr
ocess it. How could he do this to me? I was sure I didn't deserve this. All I ha
d done was to love him. How could he lie so shamelessly? How could he look into
my eyes? I looked at him, he was sleeping peacefully. He looked so harmless with
his eyes closed, his dark hair partially covering his forehead.
'What should I do?' my tears were blurring my sight. Anger and disappointment we
re clouding my mind. But my stupid heart still held the hope of this being a mis
take, the hope of this wasn't happening, that I hadn't waken up and this was jus
t a nightmare. I was having a hard time holding my tears back.
'Should I wake him up?' I wanted to yell at him, to hit him but I knew that woul
dn't make a difference. It wouldn't ease the pain. I grasped my purse and turned
on my feet. I just wanted to get out of that place.
I headed to the elevator and stepped inside. The 12 seconds that took the elevat
or to take me down were the longest seconds of my life. I didn't care about hold
ing my tears back anymore. They were running down cheeks freely.
"You don't know how much you mean to me" his words echoed inside my head.
Lies!
I clenched my fits in anger and managed to walk out the elevator. I started my w
ay to the door.
"Ally?" a familiar voice called me. I turned aside and found a frowning Kaito; h
e was standing beside the doorman. He was wearing jeans and a loose t-shit. His
dirty blonde hair was messy but it looked good on him. His hazel eyes showed his
confusion. I wiped my tears away "Are you..." he walked to be right in front of
me. I looked down "Ally, are you crying? What's wrong?" concern was present on
his tone "Is Amanda ok?" Kaito and my mother really got along.
"She's okay" I mumbled trying to stop more tears from coming.
"Hey..." he grabbed my chin to lift my face "What's wrong? My God, you're a mess
" he said wiping some of my tears.
"Just..." I swallowed "Just get me out of here"
"Ally, where's Raidon?"
"Just do it, please"
"Ok" he nodded and walked me to the parking lot. We were soon inside his car. He
started the engine, staring at me "Ally..."
"I don't want to talk about it..." I said keeping my eyes on the window.
Kaito started driving and I couldn't help sobbing without control.
"Ally..."
"Don't" I opened the car's window, feeling the cold air brushing my face, sendin
g my tears backwards. I remembered when Raidon had let me open the windows of hi
s car. I quickly closed the window and covered my face with my hands.
How could he do that to me?
I noticed Kaito was taking me home.
"No, I don't want to go home" I was a mess. I didn't want my mother to see me li
ke this.
"Then wher-"
"Anywhere"
I kept on sobbing while Kaito was driving in silence. He parked in front of a lo
nely park and turned off the engine. I could only see the blurring lights in the
street ahead us. I got off the car and started walking to the park to sit on a
bank. I rested my elbows on my knees and buried my face in my hands. Kaito sat b
eside me and caressed my back in a comforting sign.
"I wish you could tell me what's wrong" he whispered softly. I shook my head not
being able to utter a word. A soft cry left my lips while I was leaving all my
pain out. I covered my mouth, crying "Ally... it's breaking my heart to see you
cry like this"
I held my chest because I thought it was going to break into pieces soon. The me
ssages I had seen on Raidon's phone kept flashing inside my head hurting more an
d more. The only thought of him being with another girl made my stomach twist...
Kaito wrapped his arm around me to pull me into a hug. I rested my head on the
curve of his neck and shoulder.
"It's going to be okay... it's going to be okay" he repeated caressing my hair.
I don't know for how long we stayed like that. I felt like I was running out of
tears.
Kaito placed his hands on my shoulders pushing back.
"That's enough. You have cried enough" his hands left my shoulders to hold my fa
ce "You need to be strong and stop crying. Let me help you" I looked into his ha
zel eyes which looked dark due to the poor light illuminating us.
"He..." I couldn't say it.
"What did he do?" Kaito asked, I could see pure concern in his eyes. Raidon... A
nger rushed into me, clouding my mind. Bastard! How could he hurt me like this?
How could he cause me so much pain?
"He cheated on me" Kaito's eyes widened. More tears came to my tired eyes. My mi
nd felt heavy for all the crying. I gazed at Kaito's lips for a moment. They loo
ked so full and soft. Without knowing was I doing, I leaned to him and pressed m
y lips against his. Kaito held my face tightly and gently pulled me back.
"Ally, what are yo-" I kissed him again, this time he kissed me back softly. I
could taste my own salty tears mixing with his lips and mine.
Anger...
Betrayal...
If Raidon had done it... I could do it, too. I wrapped my arms around Kaito's ne
ck to pull him closer to me. His tongue invaded my mouth, causing a tingle sensa
tion to go through me. Somehow this kiss was easing the pain.
The breath-taking pain I had right inside me.
The merciless pain that was breaking my heart...
And destroying all my believes in real love.

The Stripper
& Chapter 35 &
- Flashes -
I couldn't stop kissing Kaito. His lips were so soft and tasted really sweet. Bu
t I knew that wasn't the main reason why I wasn't stopping the kiss. I knew that
in the exact moment our lips broke apart, I would come back to reality and I ju
st really didn't want that. Reality sucked. Kaito's hand held my face as he deep
ened the kiss. He pulled me closer, my boobs brushed his chest. Our breaths were
becoming heavy announcing the arrival of lust to our bodies. My hormones scream
ed in happiness. What can I say? Kaito was hot. He rested one of his hands on my
thigh and wrapped the other around my waist. My lungs protested for the lack of
air, I was about to lean back when several flashes blinded me.
"What the..." I said confused, standing up.
"Hey!" Kaito exclaimed, staring at some point in front of us. I followed his gaz
e and found and young girl. She was kind of short; her curly dark hair was flyin
g loose with the wind. She had small face features and incredible blue eyes. I n
oticed she was holding a camera "What do you think you're doing?" Kaito took a s
tep towards her.
"Nothing" she replied casually. Another flash coming from her camera surprised u
s.
"Hey! Stop!" I complained bothered.
"Sorry" she apologized putting her camera inside a small bag in her waist.
"You took pictures of us?" I asked scared.
"Give me that" Kaito said walking to her but the girl started running away "Hey!
" Kaito screamed going after her. She disappeared in the darkness so Kaito came
back defeated.
"Kaito, calm down. She's probably one of those amateurs of photography who likes
taking pictures of people in the streets" I stated trying to explain the girl's
behavior.
"Oh you sure?" he raised his hand to show me something "Look what she left behin
d" it was sort of an ID it read:
Darla Mason
Journalist
P.G. Magazine
I frowned "She's a journalist?"
"Yeah, in that hideous gossip magazine"
"Are you saying..."
"Yes, we're probably going to be on the cover tomorrow" Kaito said running his f
ingers through his hair.
"What?" I was shocked "Why?"
"I don't know if you forgot but my family is rich" Kaito sat on the bench obviou
sly thinking about what to do.
"But I never thought you'd be rich enough to be on a magazine" I held my forehea
d dramatically "Oh my God"
"this is not going to end well"
"Oh God..." a song interrupted us: Unfaithful by Rihana.
'He knows I'm unfaithful and it kills him inside' it was coming from Kaito's pho
ne. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Really? Such an appropriate song"
"What? I like her music" he explained and then his eyes widened when he looked a
t the phone's screen "It's Raidon" his voice became deadly serious. I froze.
"Don't answer"
"Ally..."
"Please"
"I'm sorry" he said and answered the call "Hey, what's up?" there was a long sil
ence. Raidon seemed to be talking a lot. I started biting my nails nervously.
"Don't tell him I'm with you" I whispered to Kaito.
"She's here" Kaito was such a traitor "She's okay. Don't worry; I'll take her ho
me now... ok see you later" I punched Kaito on the shoulder.
"Thanks for the loyalty" I said sarcastically. Kaito stood up, surprise plastere
d on his face.
"Ally, Raidon didn't cheat on you"
"Of course, you're on his side. What was I expecting?" I said staring at the lon
ely trees surrounding the place.
"Those texts you saw weren't for him. They were for me"
"Yeah, right"
"You remember the initials? K.G? Well, it stands for Kaito's girl. Her name is M
eredith. She's a girl I've been seeing"
"Stop lying!" I screamed frustrated.
"I'm not lying! I was using Raidon's phone this morning because I lost mine. It
was only until I got a new one" he showed me his phone which was definitely new.
It still had that protective plastic on the screen.
"No... I..." a flash hope crossed me. A part of me wanted to believe Kaito's wor
ds but the other part was feeling guilty as hell. I had kissed Raidon's cousin "
This has to be a joke"
"It's true. I have no reasons to lie. In fact, you know I want you for myself. W
hy would I lie for him?"
I did not know what to say. I still had doubts about Kaito's words. Raidon was h
is cousin. He could be lying to save his ass. But again, Kaito liked me. It made
no sense that he was wasting an opportunity to take me from Raidon.
"Are you telling me the truth, Kaito?" I asked looking right into his eyes.
"Yes, Raidon is willing to take you to Meredith who's currently my girl to clear
things up"
I remained in silence for a while. How had this become such a mess? You made it
a mess my mind replied.
"Let's get you home" Kaito said softly. He probably noticed my internal conflict
.
The entire way home we both remained in silence. It was extremely awkward to tal
k after what had happened between us. I looked through the window, watching hous
es and stores passing quickly. I was playing with my fingers on my lap. What had
I done? What was I supposed to do now? Was Kaito telling the truth? Were Kaito
and I going to be in a magazine's cover? It was definitely not my day. The only
time I had cheated on my boyfriend I was photographed and was probably going to
be on a magazine's cover for the world to see.
Raidon...
I was so confused. He didn't cheat on me... was that the truth? My phone ran mak
ing me jump in surprise. I didn't need to look at the screen to know it was him.
I ignored my phone; I just couldn't talk to him. I was feeling so guilty. I did
n't even want to think about Raidon's reaction when he found out about what happ
ened with Kaito. I sighed in frustration.
"We're here" Kaito announced, it was then I noticed we were in front of my house
. My eyes travelled to my mother's garden. I opened the car's door and looked at
Kaito.
"Thanks for..." I bit my lower lip "everything" Kaito smiled sadly at me and nod
ded.
"Ally, this is my new number" he stated showing me his phone's screen. His numbe
r was there. I saved it on my phone and smiled at him.
"Bye" I got off the car and walked to my house.

Once I entered my house, I realized it must've been really late because the enti
re living room was in the dark. I checked my phone: 11:48 pm. Yeah, everyone was
probably sleeping. I crossed the living room and headed to the kitchen. I put m
y purse on the wooden table and opened the fridge.
"Ally?" I jumped at Irony's voice. I glanced at the kitchen's door to see her st
anding there. She was wearing some shorts and a loose white t-shirt. She was rub
bing her eyes.
"Hey, what are you doing awake?"
"I was waiting for you" she said yawning and then she walked to sit on the table
.
"Why?"
"I was watching TV but then I fell asleep" she pointed behind her to the living
room.
"You were on the couch?" I scowled at her. She nodded "But I didn't see you"
"It was dark, you know" she said trying to comb her messy hair with her fingers.
I grasped a bottle of juice and headed to the table to sit across her.
"Why were you waiting for me?"
"I was worried" I frowned as I poured juice in a glass "Didn't you get my texts?
Didn't you see the missed calls?"
"Oh, sorry, I wasn't really paying attention to my phone" I said taking a sip of
my juice. Irony's face sparkled with curiosity
"Oh, you were too busy with Mr. Hottie?" she asked waging her eyebrows.
"Not really" I replied sadly. Irony frowned.
"What's wrong?"
I sighed as I started to tell her the entire story. It seemed incredible how thi
ngs can change in one day. I finished the bottle of juice by the end of my story
. I don't know many glasses of it I drank but my stomach seemed full with it. Ir
ony was shocked.
"Wow... you had a rough day" she commented leaned back on her chair.
"Tell me about it" I got up grasping the empty bottle of juice to throw it in th
e trash. My phone rang again, sounding incredibly loud. I put it in silence and
sat back on the table.
"It's him, isn't it?" Irony asked giving me a closed mouth smile.
"Yeah, I don't want to talk to him right now. I'm not ready"
"Do you believe him, Ally?"
"I don't know"
"Just follow your heart" Irony recommended "do you really believe he would be ca
pable of cheating on you?" I shook my head "Then, let him explain things to you
. He loves you, Ally. I've seen the way he looks at you, the way he smiles when
he sees you smile. If that's not love then I don't know what it is"
"That's not the only problem. I cheated on him... with his cousin and it's proba
bly going to be public tomorrow's morning"
"You were hurt and confused, Raidon has to understand that and if he doesn't, yo
u just play the drunken card or the damsel in distress card"
"What? Drunk card?" I scowled at her.
"Yeah, tell him you were drunk when that happened"
"I can't tell him that"
"Then, damsel in distress card is the option" my frown became bigger and Irony p
roceeded to explain it "You know, you tell him that Kaito took advantage of the
situation and blab la. It always work for me"
"Irony, I can't lie. It was not Kaito's fault. I was the one who kissed him"
"Then you're screwed" she said honestly "But let's hope Raidon understands. If h
e loves you, he will understand"
"Since when do you talk about love and that sort of stuffs?" I teased trying to
forget about my precarious situation for a moment.
"Well, soap operas help. Besides, your mother talks about it a lot"
"How is she?"
"She's okay but this morning she woke up feeling dizzy and weak" Irony paused lo
oking sad "she didn't tell me but I noticed it. I'm getting so attached to her,
Ally. Can we persuade her to get to the hospital? I don't want to lose her"
"Neither do I. but it's her choice, Irony. I had thought about many ways to pers
uade her to go but I really can't force her to do something she doesn't want. I
want her to be happy" Irony looked down.
"I just..." she looked up, her eyes filled with tears "I never had a family and
I just feel like I have one right now. Amanda is like a mother to me, she's so s
weet and kind. It's not fair that I have to lose her now that I got the chance t
o have her in my life" I could hear the sadness in her voice.
"Irony..."
"She's amazing" Irony's voice broke "I'm jealous of you because you have had her
for year. You're so lucky" a tear rolled down my cheek and I extended my hand o
n the table to hold Irony's hand.
"I know" I stated squeezing her hand "But I respect her choice. Believe me; it b
reaks me from the insides not to be able to do something. She's suffered so much
. She just wants peace and I can understand that"
"There's must be something we can do" Irony started sobbing and I stood up.
"Come here" I offered her my arms. She got up and embraced me tightly "She's so
nice to me, Ally" tears were running free down my cheeks "She doesn't judge me.
She treats me so well... like I'm special not the whore stripper girl everyone b
elieves is not worth it. Why does someone like her have to die? Why not one of t
hose thieves or killers in the streets? Why her?" I caressed her hair "It's not
fair"
"I know" I replied sadly. Irony broke the embrace and leaned backwards. She look
ed into my eyes, tears of frustration were rolling down our cheeks.
"I wish I could take her place" Irony said honestly "I'm being serious. She's an
extraordinary person. She deserves to live more than me" I held her face.
"Don't say that. You deserve to live as much as her"
"But sh-"
"Irony, we have to be strong for her" my voice broke but I took a deep breath in
"she needs us to be strong, okay?" Irony nodded but kept sobbing "I know it hur
ts. God knows how much I love her and I have no idea how I am going to manage to
survive without her but she wants to be at home with us now. She wants to be ha
ppy. We have to give her that. No sadness, no tears... okay?" Irony nodded again
"let's go upstairs" I said passing an arm over her shoulder as we walked to the
stairs.
After I left Irony in her room, I couldn't help walking to my mother's room. I o
pened the door carefully and walked inside. She was lying on her stomach; her fa
ce was partially buried in her pillow. Her mouth was half-opened. She was sleepi
ng calmly. Her boldness was a reminder of her delicate state. I rested back on t
he door while I was watching her. I remembered how I used to sneak in her room w
hen I was having nightmares when I was just a child. She would sit me on her lap
, caressing my face softly. I closed my eyes and smiled at the memory.
"Mom, there's a monster under my bed" I said totally scared. She smiled at me an
d kissed my forehead.
"Monster? What type of monster?" she pretended to sound intrigued.
"I don't know, a big hairy monster" I said scared. My mother held my face.
"There isn't a monster under your bed, honey. He can't be there"
"Why not?" I asked hopefully.
"We cleaned your room this morning, remember?" I nodded "we used the anti-monste
rs spray" she said seriously. The anti-monsters spray was something she made up
to calm my fear. It was just regular spray but she stuck a paper on the bottle t
hat said 'Anti-monster spray' I totally believed it. My face lightened with exci
tement.
"You're right!" I said smiling at her "We are safe, mommy" I embraced her and sh
e laughed kissing my hair.
"Yes, honey, we're safe"
I opened my eyes to let the tears fall from them. My mother had always been so c
reative. I let myself roll down the door until I was sitting on the floor. I pul
led my knees to my chest and rested my chin on them. Could I survive without her
? The only thought of her dying made my stomach twist and my heart sink in my ch
est.
"Ally" her voice surprised me. I hadn't noticed she had woken up and was actuall
y sitting on her bed "come here" I shook my head. I didn't want her to notice I
was crying. I had promised not to let her see my pain "Come here" she begged and
I got up to walk to her. I sat next to her, looking down "Don't cry" she whispe
red embracing me.
"I'm sorry"
"It's okay, sweetie. I understand" she kissed my hair and I leaned back to look
at her. She was an angel. Her face looked so pale in the dark. She smiled at me
"Do you we need the anti-monsters spray?" I couldn't help smiling at her comment
"I still have it, you know"
"Really?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah, we don't know when we may need it again" she winked at me.
"You're right"
"Come here" she said pulling me to the bed. I embraced her, resting my head on h
er chest. I felt so safe in her arms. It was a matter of seconds for me to fall
asleep.

I woke up feeling so relaxed. It was the first time in weeks I had such a nice s
leep. I rolled over to lie on my back. My eyes met a colorful ceiling, rainbows
and unicorns were on it. I couldn't help smiling. My mother's creativity was inc
redible. I noticed she wasn't in bed. I looked at the window and my smile grew b
igger. Her windows were at the east side of the house so the sunrise was visible
from them. Her curtains were dark yellow; they contrasted with the bright yello
w of the rising sun. Wow, my mother was amazing. Her room had the ability of mak
ing you smile. I sat up, rubbing my eyes.
"Ally! Where are you?" Alex's voice sounded urgent.
"I'm here" I stated getting put of bed. Alex opened the door and threw something
at me. I barely got time to catch it, it was my phone "That thing is been ringi
ng for ages. It was in the kitchen" he said annoyed and disappeared. I checked m
y phone; it was a call from Kaito. I answered.
"Hey"
"Finally! I thought you would never answer" he sounded tired.
"Sorry, I was sleeping"
"Raidon is here" he said and my heart skipped a beat "He wants to talk to you"
"Kaito..."
"Ally, just listen to him"
"I can'-"
"Ally" Raidon's voice froze me. I swallowed "Ally, you'll have to talk to me soo
ner or later" I knew that but I couldn't utter a word "I'm going to your house n
ow. We need to talk personally"
"Ok" that was all I could say before I hung up. I ran to the bathroom and took a
quick shower. When I was on my way to my room, I heard some strange whispers co
ming from Irony's room. I stopped walking and pressed my ear on the door.
"Alex, stop, no"
"Shhh, you want this" Alex's voice sounded husky and needy.
"No... stop"
"Your skin is so soft" Alex said lustfully.
"Please, get off me"
"Do I need to pay you to have you? I have money" Alex stated seriously. Anger fi
lled my veins and I slammed the door opened. They were both on Irony's bed. Alex
was on top of her; his hand was slide inside her short.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" I yelled at him. Alex jumped out of
the bed and raised his hands in peace.
"Nothing" he said innocently but I could see the lump in his pants. He was hard.

"Nothing?" I pressed my towel against my body as I walked to him. I slapped him
hard across his face. Alex was shocked while he was rubbing his cheek.
"What the hell, Ally?!"
"Get out of my sight, Alex! If you touch her again, I will personally kick your
ass" I was so angry at him.
"Ally, I was-"
"Get out now!" Alex stormed out of the room and I looked at Irony "Are you okay?
"
"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you"
"You can't let him do that, Irony. If he does it again, you scream, okay? Promis
e me you will scream"
"I promise" she said softly.
Raidon...
"Oh shit!" I ran to my room and put some jeans on with a tight purple top. I got
my purple sandals and combed my hair at the side of my face.
"Ally, your boyfriend is here" my mom screamed from the living room. I went down
stairs and frowned when I saw the empty living room "He's outside, I invited him
in but he said he was fine there" she screamed from the kitchen.
Ok, I can do this. I said to myself. My heart started hammering against my chest
; I could feel it in my throat and ears. I swallowed and opened the door. He was
giving his back to me. I could see his dark hair and broad shoulders.
"Raidon" I called him, he turned to me. My breath was caught inside my lungs. He
was so beautiful. His face features was perfect sized. His dark eyes met mine f
reezing me. His lips looked so full and red. He was wearing a formal suit with
a red tie; he was probably going to work after we talked.
"Hey" he gave me a small smile and I struggled not to jump to him and kissed him
desperately.
"How are you?" I asked noticing the bags under his eyes. Call me crazy but those
bags made him look even sexier than usual.
"Not too good, what about you?"
"I'm okay"
"Ally, you have to believe me. I love you, I would never cheat on you" the hones
ty in his eyes was actually hurting me because I had cheated on him just a few h
ours ago.
"I..."
"I brought you proves" he said and turned to his car. He made a weird gesture an
d a slender red haired girl got off his car along with Kaito. They walked to us
"She's Meredith"
"Hi" the girl offered her hand to me "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause this big
misunderstanding" I shook her hand quickly "this is my phone, you can check all
the texts I have from Kaito. I even saved the one I sent to your boyfriend's p
hone. I'm so sorry" I checked all the phones and did all the investigation to co
nfirm that it was actually Kaito the one who was seeing this girl. Guilt filled
my veins and looked at Kaito. He smiled sadly at me.
I felt terrible. Kaito and the girl were walking to Raidon's car to give us some
privacy when the girl stopped and slapped Kaito across the face.
"You bastard!" I frowned. She started walking to me, rage plastered on her face.
I stepped back and Raidon got between us protecting me.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Raidon asked confused.
"I'm going to kill her! You are a bitch!" she yelled at me furious. What's going
on? I wondered.
"Stop! You can't insult my girlfriend like that" Raidon was upset.
"Your girlfriend? Look at this" she showed him her phone. I looked at the image
and my heart sank in my chest. There was a picture of the P.G magazine cover on
it. Kaito and I were kissing each other; one of his hands was on my thigh and th
e other on my waist.
Everyone went dead silent. I could see the hurt and rage plastered on Raidon's f
ace.
I had screwed things up.
I had hurt the man I loved.
I just hoped he could forgive me because I loved him too much to lose him.

& Chapter 36 &
Broken
The tension was so thick, I didn't think a fly could get through it. I watched i
n silence how Raidon's expression went from shock to hurt and finally anger. He
squeezed Meredith's cell phone and started breathing fast. Meredith was shooting
daggers at me while Kaito stayed motionless, his hands at his sides. The mornin
g sunlight illuminated our faces, making us all look kind of pale. I could see R
aidon's dark brown eyes. I'd always thought his eyes were dark but when they fac
ed the sunlight, they revealed their true colors. I wanted to say something, I w
anted to break the silence, to explain everything to him but I just couldn't utt
er a word. Raidon looked at me and my heart broke into million pieces when I saw
the hurt in his eyes, the pain plastered on his perfect face. His eyebrows were
slightly furrowed as if he couldn't believe this was real.
"Raidon-" he raised his hand at me.
"Don't," his voice was ice cold. Tears filled my eyes.
"Let me explain," I pleaded. Raidon threw Meredith's cell phone at her, she cau
ght it in a quick move. Then, he started walking through my mother's garden to h
is car "Wait! Raidon, wait!" I screamed but he didn't stop. Kaito followed him a
nd grabbed his shoulder making him turn to us again.
"Bro," Kaito started "It wasn-" Raidon punched Kaito on the face. I let out a l
ittle scream of surprise. Kaito fell backwards landing on his ass. Meredith tens
ed beside me but didn't say anything. She probably thought Kaito deserved it. Ra
idon walked to his cousin and grasped him by his shirt lifting him from the grou
nd.
"No! Raidon, stop!" I ran towards him and grabbed his arm "Stop" Raidon slapped
my hand and pushed Kaito backwards.
"Don't call me bro ever again," He told Kaito in the most serious tone I'd ever
heard from him. Then his eyes met mine "And you," he paused, clenching his jaw
in anger "stay the hell away from me. I don't want to see you ever again." his w
ord burnt a whole in my chest.
"Raidon, plea-"
"Don't!" he yelled at me and shook his head "just don't." he turned on his feet
and headed to his car. I started to follow him but Kaito held my arm.
"No, he's too angry. Let him calm down." He recommended holding his nose with h
is other hand; blood was rolling down his fingers.
"Oh God, are you okay?" I asked worried. He nodded moving his head back, probab
ly trying to stop the blood from coming out. Meredith passed us and walked strai
ght to Raidon's car. Was she going to leave with him? Raidon started the engine.
She opened his door and climbed inside. That bitch! Raidon drove off and I wat
ched how his luxury car disappeared down the street. Tears ran free down my face
. Frustration and sadness washed over me. I ran my hands over my face as sign of
despair.
"Ally," Kaito called me but I didn't turn to him "It's going to be okay. I'll e
xplain it to him"
"He won't listen" I replied knowingly. Raidon could be really stubborn when he
was upset.
"I will follow them now, don't worry. I'll call you if anything happens" Kaito
said and left. I remained motionless. My eyes were staring absently at my mother
's garden.
Raidon was gone...
He was probably hating me right now. He'd looked so hurt; I couldn't believe I'
d caused him pain.
I didn't move for a while. I just couldn't. Where would I go anyway? To my room
? I just knew that if I stepped inside my room, I would cry my eyes out and that
wasn't going to solve anything.
"Ally?" Irony's worried voice called me from behind. I turned around. She was in
the doorway, wearing her purple pajamas. Her eyes widened when she evaluated my
face "what's wrong? Are you okay?" She hurried towards me and held my face "Wha
t happened?" I just shook my head. I couldn't tell her, I couldn't utter a word.
My eyes were filling with tears, blurring my sight "Let's get inside." She said
wrapping one arm around my shoulders.
We walked straight to my room and as I had expected I burst into tears once we s
tepped inside it. I told Irony everything or at least I tried to tell her while
I was sobbing without control. She was sitting on the bed while I was lying on i
t, resting my head on her lap. She kept caressing my hair, trying to calm me dow
n.
"He will come back, Ally." She said softly. A light of hope filled me but was so
on vanished when I remembered Raidon's face. There was so much pain in his eyes,
so much anger in his voice.
"He hates me," I whispered sadly. I can't describe with words how terrible I was
feeling. I felt an empty hole in my chest. I needed him. The thought of him bei
ng hurt because of me and my stupidity made my heart ache. My tears were getting
Irony's shorts wet but I couldn't care less.
"He doesn't hate you, Ally. He loves you, he is just hurt right now" Irony was s
taring down at me but I kept my eyes glued to the door "Everything is going to b
e okay." That was so hard to believe. I sat up, wiping some tears away. I tried
to breathe through my nose but failed since it was collapsed. For how long had I
been crying? I didn't know but I was sure it'd been for a while "You've cried e
nough, go wash your face and then we will think how to fix this."
I dragged myself to the bathroom and closed the door behind me. I faced the mirr
or, my reflection stared at back pitifully. My face was swallowed, my nose was r
ed as a tomatoe and I couldn't even describe how bad my eyes looked. My brown ha
ir was loose and messy. I leaned to the sink and washed my face. The cold water
hit my skin, refreshing me. I straightened my body, keeping my eyes closed. Smal
l drops of water rolled down my face slowly. Raidon's expression filled my mind
and my chest tightened painfully.
Was this pain ever going to leave my chest?
I knew I deserved it. I had screwed things up but in my defense, I had thought R
aidon cheated on me when I kissed his cousin. It wasn't the best defense but it
was all I've got. I sighed and grabbed a towel.
When I stepped inside my room again. Irony smiled sadly at me. She was concerned
.
"I'm fine," I informed her even when it was the biggest lie I'd ever told.
"You don't need to lie to me, Ally." She said softly. I headed towards her, read
y to think of a way to fix this mess but I fell asleep instead.

4 days went by and I hadn't heard of Raidon or Kaito. I'd tried calling him doze
ns of times, of course he didn't answer and Kaito was just lost. I tried to call
him as well but no response. I got sadder with the passing of days. I went to
college but my mind was somewhere else. The club was still closed, it was suppos
ed to open next week end so I didn't have to work either, which seemed bad to me
because I needed to distract myself. I cried myself to sleep every night.
I had lost him. My heartache was getting worse; It wouldn't ease or let me take
a break. It was present in every move I made. After I arrived from college, I sp
ent the rest of day in my pajamas... Walking around the house like a zombie. Tha
t had become my pathetic routine.
Irony had tried to cheer me up but nothing worked. I had pretended smiles and la
ughs in front of my mother; I really didn't want her to worry about me. She had
enough.
Now, I was just lying on my back staring at the ceiling absently. It was getting
dark; the sun was going down leaving an empty sky for the moon to jump in.

"Ally?" I turned my head aside to look at my mother. She was standing in the doo
rway. I'd been so deep in thought, I hadn't heard the door going opened.
"Yes?" I sat up, faking a smile. She came closer and sat next to me.
"Stop pretending," I froze at her calmed words "I know you are sad, I know you'v
e been crying."
"I..." I struggled not to break into tears in front of her.
"Ally, I'm your mother. I know when something is wrong with you."
"I'm sorry, I did-" she placed two fingers on my mouth.
"Shhh, don't apologize" my mother transmitted such a peaceful energy "I understa
nd you didn't want me to worry about you" she gave me a smile "I'm here to give
you a piece of a advice" she paused and then continued "You can't keep doing thi
s to yourself, you can't keep dragging yourself around as if life didn't make se
nse anymore. I know it hurts but you have to make choice, Ally."
"A choice?" I scowled at her. Her eyes held a determination I was used to see on
her. She'd been a strong woman. Don't believe me? Try to deal with Cancer like
she did and you'll see.
"Yes," she caressed my hair as she spoke "You can either go find him and talk to
him or just let him go. You can't just stay in between suffering like this" she
explained wisely "My advice for you is to fight for him. It doesn't matter if y
ou lose, at least you will know you tried. If it doesn't work out, you will move
on and keep living. Life is too beautiful to waste it suffering and regretting
things you can't do anything about. What's done it's done, Alyssa. You can't go
back in time no matter how hard you try or how many tears you shed." My mother's
word surprised me. She was so wise. I knew she was right.
"But I've tried to talk to him; I've called him dozens of times." I said frustra
ted.
"Then go find him," she stated "go to his house, I don't know but find him. Don'
t stay here crying over your pillow. He won't magically understand what happened
if don't explain it to him"
"I know that," I ran my fingers through my hair "but mom, I was on a cover of a
magazine... His mother probably saw it and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to ge
t in his house. She may have even pasted papers with a picture of me with a big
X" my mother chuckled "Ok, I have overdone it a little bit but believe me, she h
ates me. She hated me before all this. I'm sure she hates me even more now" my m
other sighed.
"Where else could you find him?" She asked hopefully "What about his job?"
"Hum, I know he owns a construction company but I don't know where it is," I sai
d honestly. My mother grinned at me.
"Oh darling, internet is miraculous thing." She said getting up "You just need t
o give me his full name, and I will find the address."
"Really?" I wasn't a fan of technology. I've always thought technology hated me.
I barely managed to use my phone. My mother? Psst! She was an expert. I got her
a laptop two years ago four months after the entire treatment for her cancer st
arted because she got bored in the hospital. Now, she's not able to let that thi
ng away when she is in her room. I gave her Raidon's full name and she headed to
wards the door excited.
"I'll be right back," she said excited and left my room.
~ The next day ~
"I can do this," I chanted to myself for the fifth time. The taxi driver was wai
ting for me to get off his car but I was trying to calm my nervousness. My mouth
was dry and I was sweating too much to my comfort.
"Miss?" The driver glanced at me through the rearview.
"Just a second" I said running my fingers through my hair. Wait... What? No! I h
ad combed my hair at the sides of my face before I left my house. Now it looked
messy "Damn!" I mumbled angry at myself.
"Are you okay?" the driver asked sounding worried.
"I'm fine" I lied and opened the door. The wind brushed my hair back as I got m
y feet on the hard pavement. The intense sunlight forced me to narrow my eyes. H
ow I regretted not bringing my sunglasses with me. I got off the taxi, payed to
the driver and closed the door. The driver gave me one last confused glance and
drove off. I pulled my skirt down nervously. Was it too short? My mother and Iro
ny had insisted I had to wear a skirt, that I needed to impress Raidon but it di
dn't seem such a good idea now. I fixed my white shirt and turned on my feet. My
jaw dropped to the floor.
For a second, I thought the driver got the wrong adress but then I read the big
sign "Kawasaki International housing company" A huge building was right in fron
t of my eyes, the type of building you can't see where it ends. It had blue glas
sed windows. I had to tilt my head back to look up. I frowned.

This was Raidon's small company? He had said it was a small thing that he'd just
started after he graduated. That had to be a lie. You couldn't build this kind
of corporation from nothing. I closed my mouth after getting strange looks from
every person passing by. I took a deep breath in.
Wow...
I was shocked. I walked slowly towards the entry, which was consisted of two big
glassed doors. They were electrical, they opened each time a person got closed
. I crossed the door and gawked at the sight. It looked like an hotel lobby, eve
rything was so elegant and cleaned. There was a long counter with two girls dres
sed in a very conservative uniform. One of them smiled at me.
"May I help you?" She asked scanning my outfit. When she was done, she raised an
eyebrow as if she was wondering what the hell I was doing there.
"Hum, yes, I..." I trailed off "I would like to," I cleared my throat "to speak
with Raidon."
"Raidon?" She narrowed her eyes at me "Raidon as in Raidon Kawasaki, the preside
nt of this company?"
"Yeah," she frowned and then gave me a smug smile.
"And you are...?" I didn't like the tone she was using.
"Alyssa, I'm... Hum, his... Friend" I finally said.
"Do you have an appointment with him?"
"No, I jus-"
"Does he know you were coming?" She asked checking something on a thin laptop sh
e had in front of her.
"Ok, Alyssa, we go through this every day. A girl comes here saying she's a frie
nd or a ex girlfriend, even a lover. We even got a girl who came with a baby, sw
earing it was Mr. Kawasaki's son. So, it's nothing personal but could you please
leave before I call security?" She gave me a closed mouth smile at the end of h
er sentence. Wow... Raidon seemed to be really important. How come I didn't know
this? I mean, I'd always knew his job was a big thing since I saw the quantity
of money he always had on or the way he dressed but I didn't think it was this b
ig.
I turned on my feet defeated, I thought about running towards the elevator, you
know, like in the movies. But there were too many guards around. I was walking t
owards the glassed doors when I saw someone coming. Immediately, my face lighted
up.
"Martha!" I screamed grinning like an idiot. Martha was Raidon's servant; I'd me
t her in his house some time ago. She was like a mother to him. Martha narrowed
her eyes at me and then smiled when she recognized me.
"Alicia, right?" She asked trying to remember my name.
"It's Alyssa, how have you been?" I was so excited. Martha was my last chance to
get to Raidon.
"Good, this damn cough won't let me in peace but I'm surviving" It was then I re
membered she was sick. Martha had a terminal disease in her lungs. Raidon had be
en pissed at her because she smoke and that caused her sickness. I noticed she h
ad a bag in her hand.
"What are you doing here? I thought you work at the house"
"I do, I was just passing by to leave Raidon these cookies I made for him." Aww,
Martha was so sweet.
"You love him, don't you?" I asked knowing the answer. Martha smiled at me.
"He's the son I never had" she continued "Are you here to see him?"
"Yes" I said nodding "but that girl," I pointed the girl behind the counter "did
n't let me in"
"Oh, come with me" Martha gestured me towards the elevator. We just took a few s
teps and headed to the elevator's metallic doors.
"Hey! She can't go in there" the girl screamed at us. Martha turned to her.
"She's with me, back off, snake" my eyes widened at Martha's words. I held back
a chuckle. The girl gave me a dirty look but didn't say a thing. I smiled smugly
for a moment.
Me: 1
Snake girl: 0
We got inside the elevator and Martha pressed the seventh floor button. When we
arrived, my heart was hammering like crazy inside my chest. I bit my lower lip n
ervously. We walked through a long hallway. Some people said hi to Martha while
I just simply smiled as a greeting. A tall blonde girl was hurrying towards us.
Her uniform was so tight that I thought her boobs were going to jump to us. Her
skirt was really short; she was wearing high heels which produced a irritable no
ise with each step she took.
"Hey, Martha, who is your friend?" She asked coldly. Martha ignored her and kept
heading towards a big wooden door "Martha, he is in a bad mood. He doesn't want
to be bothered." The Blondie said seriously "Martha, I'm serious"
"You're just a secretary, he's never gonna put his eyes on you even when you com
e to work practically naked so chill" Martha said to the Blondie frankly. Wow...
She was amazing. Martha knocked the wooden door; I rubbed my sweaty hands on my
skirt and trying to breath.
"Come in," his voice sent a wave of electricity through me. I bit my lower lip h
ard. Martha gave me the bag.
"Go inside and give him this for me, ok?" She said and turned on her feet "it wa
s nice seeing you, Alicia"
"It's...never mind" she was never going to get my name right. I sighed and grasp
ed the door knob.
It was time to face him.
After four days of sadness and regret, I was finally going to see him.
It was time to fix things but I was sure it was not going to be easy; I just hop
ed it wasn't impossible. Because the pain was going to unbearable.
My pain would never ease if Raidon left my life.

This has to be a joke

I opened the door to find a very elegant office. A black carpet covered the floo
r and the walls were blue. Two big dark couches were in one corner, my eyes fina
lly landed on him: Raidon. He was sitting in front of a square desk. Glassed wal
ls were behind him, the view was breath taking. His profile was facing me. He ha
d a phone pressed on his ear. He hadn't noticed me.

"Yes, we need those spare parts right now," his manly voice sent a shiver throug
h me "No, I don't care how much it costs. The machinery department called me thi
s morning. It's urgent." I closed the door behind me and stood there in silence.
He looked so important, so wise... so hot. The dark suit he was wearing fit him
really well. His hair was messy but in a sexy way. He had a powerful aura aroun
d him; he was the boss, the owner of this place. Every employee probably stood f
rozen each time he walked past them
"Yes, we need ten hydraulic hoses and thirty air filters," he seemed to be liste
ning to the other person on the line for a while "I need those spare parts to re
pair the Bulldozer D65, the entire building project has stopped because that mac
hine is damaged." I rubbed my sweaty hands on my skirt and took a step towards t
he desk. Raidon sighed obviously frustrated "Don't come back here until you've g
ot the spare parts. Bye" he hung up and rubbed his temples. He looked stressed o
ut. Maybe I chose the wrong time to come.

Speak! My mind screamed at me. I licked my lips.

"Are you going to stand there all day?" his question made me jump in surprise. H
e had noticed me?

"How do you-"

"Your smell is all over my office," he said looking at me. His dark eyes stared
at me with such intensity. My smell? Did he mean my perfume? "What are you doing
here, Alyssa?" the way he said my full name hurt me.

"I..." I trailed off "we need to talk"

"No, we don't" he said coldly.

"Just listen to me, okay?" I pleaded "If you don't want to see me after that, I
will leave you alone."

"You have twenty seconds," his tone was so cold.

"I know I made a mistake, a huge mistake, Raidon. But I was confused, I thought
you had cheated on me and I wanted some kind of revenge, I-"

"An eye for an eye, huh?" he interrupted me rudely.

"It wasn't like that. I was crying... I was so sad; can't you understand I was c
onfused? Ask Kaito, he will tell you everything." Raidon's expression hardened.

"Don't say his name in front of me."

"You have to believe me,"

"I can't. I even think you and Kaito have been having a thing for a while"

"What?" I was shocked "No, we haven't. I love you and only you"

"I don't believe you" my heart sank deep in my chest.

"How can you not believe me after all we've been through?" I was really disappoi
nted.

"You cheated me on me, Alyssa. What did you expect? Do you want me to celebrate
it? Or just to act as if nothing happened?" he was angry.

"I made a mistake! I'm human, humans make mistakes" I explained, my eyes stung.
I wouldn't let the tear form in my eyes.

"Is that all you've got? Your twenty seconds passed. Leave my office please." I
held back tears of hurt.

"No, I won't leave. You have to forgive me, Raidon."

"I have to?" he stood up; slamming his fits on his desk "I don't have to do anyt
hing! Get out!"

"No!" I stepped closer to him "we need to-"

"Don't make me call security, Alyssa."

"You wouldn't..." Raidon pressed some bottoms on his phone and four seconds late
r, two large men slammed the door opened.

"Lady, please follow us," one of them said grabbing my arm. Tears escaped my eye
s. I wiped them away quickly. Raidon was staring at the wall, avoiding eye conta
ct.

"You know what hurts?" I asked as the guard began pulling me out "I forgave you,
" Raidon remained motionless "when you lied to me about your fianc. When you omitt
ed the main reason you wanted me the first night we met at the club. I forgave y
ou, I took you back"

"It's not the same" he whispered.

"No, it's not. But this just proves how small is the love you claimed to feel fo
r me and how big is the one I feel for you." my voice broke "But it's okay, I wi
ll leave you alone, Raidon" I said slapping the guards hand "I can walk by mysel
f" the guard gave me a sympathetic smile and gestured me to leave.

I left his office, ignoring the eyes on me as I walked to the elevator. My heart
was hammering inside my chest, tears streamed down my face and I couldn't hold
them back any longer even if I tried to.

It's over...

It's official...

We weren't coming back together. I was not going to have my happy ending. My sig
ht was blurred but I couldn't care less. I went out the building with long strid
es. The morning sun hit my stinging eyes with force but I simply kept walking th
rough people on the sidewalk. I was sobbing now. I wanted to control myself but
it was so hard. People gave me worried looks and whispered things to me but I wa
sn't listening. A burning hole was consuming my inside in a slow but steady proc
ess. I wondered if that was how I was supposed to feel. This pain was unbearable
; I doubted it could be compared to any physical pain.
I gasped for air. My sobs were uncontrollable.
I loved him.
He's gone.
How could I survive without him? How could I live without his twisted smile and
sexy smirk? How could I go through my entire mother's thing without him? He'd b
ecome my base, my strength.
A few hours later...
"Ally, you need to get up," Irony recommended caressing my hair. I was lying on
my stomach; my pillow was wet because of all my tears. I shook my head slightly
"Please, Ally, dinner is ready. Your mother cooked some delicious chicken"
"I'm not hungry" I stated, my voice was husky due to all the time I'd been cryi
ng.
"Ally, please" Irony begged taking the covers off me.
"Just leave me alone," I said pulling the covers back on me. Irony sighed in fr
ustration and got up.
"Do you want Amanda to get worried about you, Ally?" she asked. I opened my eye
s and sat up. Ok, I didn't want my mother to know I was a mess. I washed my face
and went downstairs. I sat in front of the counter, my mother was humming a son
g while preparing some juice, she was giving her back to me. Alex was sitting ac
ross me shirtless. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"What?" he asked innocently.
"I know what you're doing," I said in a whisper. Irony was still upstairs, wash
ing her hands "stop it"
"What are you talking about?" he asked pretending confusion. I pointed his enti
re naked torso.
"Stop showing your abs and muscles, it's pathetic" I shook my head in disapprova
l. I knew he wanted Irony to drool all over him.
"I'm not doing it on purpose," he said casually "it's not my fault to be hot."
I rolled my eyes at him. I opened my mouth to speak but then Irony stepped insid
e the kitchen.
"It smells so good," she said sniffing in the air. She was wearing some shorts
and a loose brown t-shirt. It looked big on her but the silhouette of her firmed
big breasts was still visible. Her hair was in a messy bun. She smiled at me an
d sat next to me. Her eyes landed on Alex and a small blush crept to her cheeks.
Alex smirked at her and she looked away.
"Alex," I called him and shook my head in disapproval. Alex's smirk vanished an
d he pretended to be reading the newspaper.
"Dinner is almost ready," mom exclaimed sounding excited. She glanced at us "Oh
, girls, you're finally here. I didn't notice you." she said rubbing her hands o
n the apron, cleaning them off. She was wearing a skullcap and her favorite purp
le short dress. She came closer to me and kissed my forehead "I was starting to
worry about you, darling"
"I'm fine" I said giving her a closed mouth smile.
"You better be, you're about to taste the most delicious chicken in the world"
she said pinching my nose. I couldn't help chuckling.
"Delicious or not, I'm starving, I will eat anything you give me, mom" Alex sta
ted caressing his stomach.
"So sweet," I told him sarcastically.
"What?" Alex asked confused.
"Let him be, Ally," my mother said messing my hair "He's a man after all." she
winked at me.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Alex narrowed his eyes at us. My mother raised
her hands in a peace sign.
"Nothing, sweetie, did you wash your hands?" She asked in a motherly tone.
"Of course, I did" Alex replied offended.
"Good, I know what you do with your hands in the afternoon so I was being cauti
ous," Alex's jaw dropped to the floor. Irony and I burst into laughing.
"Mom!" Alex's face became red as a tomato.
"It's the truth, Alex, we're all adults here." My mother stated shrugging her s
houlders and giving her back to us to continue cooking.
"I don't... it's not..." Alex trailed off completely embarrassed "I don't do th
at!" he defended himself.
"You...don't....do... what" I asked among laughter.
"I do not touch myself!" he exclaimed frustrated "Tell them, mom, tell them I d
on't do that."
"But you do" my mother said starting to serve the food on the plates. I couldn'
t stop laughing, my stomach was starting to hurt, and I gasped for air. Alex gla
red at me, his mouth tightly closed.
"It's not a big deal, bro" I comforted him, still laughing a little. Alex remai
ned in silence.
We ate our dinner while chatting comfortably. For a moment, I stared at them in
silence. This felt so good; it was so nice to have a family. I loved all of the
m, I felt like I belonged here. I was so happy to have Alex back with us, to hav
e Irony around she was like the sister I'd never had. A flash of sadness crossed
me when I remembered my mother was sick, I didn't even want to think about losi
ng her. It was just too much for me.
Raidon...
My sadness increased, I had lost the man I loved. Irony squeezed my hand and mo
uthed to me 'It's going to be okay' I simply nodded.

A week later...
For how long was I going to cry over him? I mean, I didn't expect a heartache
to last this long. Each passing day, it would only get worse. The empty hole in
my chest seemed to deepen and grow each minute I passed without him. I couldn't
concentrate in class, I couldn't eat properly. God, I couldn't even pretend in f
ront of my mother that I was okay. I needed to move on, I knew it but my love wa
s intact. Why did love have to be so stubborn? Why couldn't my heart understand
he was gone? My heart was a hopeless bastard because deep down, I still have the
hope that Raidon would back to me. Only God knows how many times I imagined him
knocking on my door, telling me that he forgives me, kissing me... I sighed, th
at was obviously not going to happen.
I sat up on my bed and stared absently at my room's wall. There was a small pai
nting by Francisco Goya, it was a imitation of course, I didn't have enough mone
y to get an original one. This reminded me of the first time I entered Raidon's
room... the day I lost my virginity.
Flashback

"You know the work of Francisco Goya?" he asked shocked.

"Of course. This is part of his black paintings" I pointed to the wall "How did
you get it?" I was astonished.

"Lot of money, I guess. I can't believe you know this piece of art"

"What are you talking about? Goya is one of my favorite painters, I love the rom
anticism" I kept observing the painting "I never thought I would actually see th
is. Did you know he painted this directly on the walls of his house? Isn't that
fascinating?"

"Yes, it is" I felt him embracing me from behind. He kissed my cheek "I never th
ought you would be an art lover"

"I am" I said giggling, because his closeness was making me shiver.
He turned me around to make me face him.

"Kiss me" he ordered smirking.

"Why?" I teased wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Because you are my girlfriend" he whispered on my lips.

"So?" he didn't reply, he just pulled me closer to him. He kissed me quickly and
as soon as my lips touched his, I felt electricity in my entire body. His tongu
e licked my lower lip asking for entrance and I gave in, letting him explore my
mouth. I held his hair to pull him closer deepening the kiss; his hands squeezed
my waist softly sending a wave of desire through me. It was getting hot in ther
e, his hands went down to my hips and then to my ass, he squeezed roughly, makin
g me sigh on his mouth.

His lips kept playing with mine; his tongue kept increasing my hotness inside my
mouth. He pushed me against the wall as he left my mouth to go down to my neck.
I moaned softly, when he started letting little kisses all over it.
"Raidon..." I was completely drunk in sensations.
"Ally!" Irony's voice snapped me out of my entrance. Tears filled my eyes. I mi
ssed him so much. I missed his smell, his twisted smile, his arrogance, his voic
e... It's incredible how you get to miss the small things about a person. I even
missed the way he softly kissed my forehead when he wanted to comfort me. Irony
's waved her hand in front of me "You're gonna be late for college."
"I don't want to go," I said falling back on the bed; I stared at the ceiling h
olding my tears back.
"Come on, Ally, stop this. You can't keep doing this to yourself" she said hold
ing my shoulders, forcing me to sit back up. A wave of dizziness washed over me,
my mouth watered with a salty liquid. I jumped out of the bed and ran to the ba
throom. I knelt in front of the toilet bowl and threw up violently, my body shak
ing to get the food out of my stomach.
"Oh my God! Ally, are you okay?" Irony asked worried. I made an okay sign with
my thumb and cleaned my lips with the back of my hand. I was breathing heavily "
Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," I said feeling slightly dizzy. I held my forehead, Irony helped me
to stand. I leaned in the sink and washed my mouth. I hated vomiting. It was the
worst sensation in the world. I leaned back and froze as I stared at the cabine
t above the sink. There was a package of sanitary towels there "Irony," I asked
her nervously "Today is...?" I trailed off.
"November 16th, why?" my stomach twisted in fear.
This had to be a joke...
"Ally, what's wrong?" Irony asked concerned.
"My period is late." I replied seriously.

- Anguish -


"I can't do this," I said throwing the bag with the home pregnancy test to Irony
. She caught it in mid air and gave me disapproving look.

"You have to do it, Ally."

"I can't!" I exclaimed holding my pillow closer to my body. I was sitting on my
bed, my legs crossed.

"You have no choice; you're just prolonging your anguish. You need to know you i
f you're pregnant or not."

"Shh!" I silenced her "could you please not mention that word? If mom hears us,
I'm dead."

"You are not a child anymore, Ally. It's not a like some dude knocked you up in
high school. You are an adult now." she said putting her hands on her hips "Besi
des, do you have any idea how embarrassing it was for me to buy this at the drug
store? I got strange looks and some old man gave me a lecture about being too yo
ung to have a baby." I burst into laughter "Oh, great now you laugh."
"I'm sorry but that's funny." I said still laughing a little. Irony rolled her
eyes.
"Just go to the bathroom and pee," she said offering me the home pregnancy test
.
"I don't even feel like peeing right now." I stated nervously. Irony raised an
eyebrow. She opened the bag and started reading the instructions.
"It just needs a drop of your pee. Go and do it now."
"No"
"Ally..."
"I can't, ok? What if it is positive? What am I going to do? Raidon hates me."
"He doesn't hate you. He is just hurt."
"Believe me, he hates me," Irony sighed in frustration.
"So what's your plan? You will have to do this," she pointed the pregnancy test
"sooner or later, it's not like you can run from it"
"I don't know,"
"Don't be a chicken, Ally. You have always been the bravest one between us," sh
e said frankly "Don't be a coward now." I let out a long breath and got out of b
ed.
"Fine, give me that." I said taking the test from her hands. Irony smiled at me
.
"Everything is going to be okay, Ally."
I entered my bathroom and pressed my back against the door. Irony was right, I
couldn't be a chicken now. But what if I was pregnant? Raidon's face came to my
mind. I remembered the anger plastered on his face. I knew he was disappointed a
nd hurt. I knew I had hurt his man pride. I remembered how he kicked me out of h
is company. He was not going to forgive me.
"Ally?" Irony's voice snapped me out of thoughts. She was probably leaning agai
nst the other side of the door.
"I'm on it, wait," I stated walking to the toilet bowl. I took a deep breath in
and followed all the instructions. After I did all the steps, I placed the whit
e bar on the sink and ran out of the bathroom closing the door behind me.
"Ally?" Irony asked frowning in confusion.
"I did it... I did it. It's on the sink. I can't look at it." I said in panic.
Irony held me by my shoulders.
"Hey, hey, breathe." she squeezed my shoulders softly "It's going to be okay."
"this is all his fault," I affirmed on the verge of tears "he told me he was ge
tting shots or something like that to prevent this."
"Ally..."
"I trusted him on this. And now... Oh God," I said holding my forehead.
"We still don't know the results. Stop freaking out."
"I'm scared," I admitted looking down.
"I know. But you are not alone, we ar-"
"Ally," my mother walked inside my room with some towels on her hands "Hey, gir
ls" she greeted smiling at us.
"Hum, mom," I swallowed hard.
"I just brought you clean towels. Irony did the laundry yesterday, she is a swe
et heart." my mother complimented and started heading to the bathroom.
Oh no...
"No, no, no," I said blocking her way "I will put them there myself, mom," I to
ok the towels from her hands.
"Ally, are you okay?" she asked scowling at me.
"Hum, yeah, why wouldn't I be okay?" I finished my sentence with a nervous shor
t laugh. My mother narrowed her eyes at me.
"What's going on?" she glanced at Irony, who had a 'we're-hiding-something' sig
n plastered on her forehead.
"no-nothing," Irony stuttered. My mother's eyes landed on the bathroom door.
"I want to see your bathroom," she stated pushing me aside.
"Why?" I asked getting in her way again.
"Alyssa Lambert, let me see your bathroom." she said in a motherly tone. Defeat
ed, I stepped aside. My heart was pounding fast inside my chest. My mother opene
d the door and Irony and I shared gazes.
"Is that a home pregnancy test?" my mother asked walking inside the bathroom.
"I-"
"It's mine, Amanda," Irony quickly said. I gave her a confused glance and she s
hrugged her shoulders. I saw from the corner of my eyes how my mother was graspi
ng the white bar.
"Why would you..." my mother trailed off and came out of the bathroom, holding
the test in one hand.
"I didn't use protection so," Irony explained casually. My mother glanced down
at the white bar and then back at Irony.
"Well, I hope you have a boyfriend, girl because you are indeed pregnant." my m
other said worried and showed us the test.
My world stopped. I stopped breathing, I stopped moving. A cold drop of sweat r
olled down my forehead, my lips were dry in a just a few seconds. My heart was h
ammering inside my chest, menacing to break my ribs.
I'm pregnant...
My head was spinning around, I suddenly got extremely dizzy.
"Ally?" my mother's worried tone sounded so far away. I struggled not to pass o
ut and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"Huh?"
"You are so pale," tears filled my eyes. I covered my mouth in shock not knowin
g what to do or say. Irony gave me a sad smile "Ally, what's wrong?"
"Hum, nothing, I'm just shocked." I managed to say, my voice almost breaking. I
rony suddenly realized she needed to act surprise, my mother thought she was the
one who was pregnant.
"Oh my God," she faked an entire drama scene after that. I pretended to listen
and said a few comforting words once in a while but my mind was somewhere else.
Raidon...
I'm pregnant with his baby...
Most of me was -to my surprise- actually really happy. I loved Raidon with ever
y piece of my heart and even if I didn't plan this, I already felt like I loved
this little baby growing inside me. But I couldn't deny, I was deeply scared and
worried. I was sure Raidon didn't want to see me or talk to me. How could I tel
l him I was carrying his baby when he even didn't want to speak to me?
As soon as my mother left the room, Irony ran to me and embraced me tightly.
"Everything is going to be alright," she comforted me caressing my hair.
"This is a mess," I whispered letting the tears roll down my face. I didn't kno
w why I was crying. I was filled with many feelings: surprise, fear, happiness,
excitement. My body was hosting too many emotions; I just couldn't handle them s
o I cried.


A few days later...


I couldn't believe I was standing in front of Raidon's company building again. T
his felt so dj-vu. I wasn't wearing anything special this time because I knew no mat
ter how sexy I dressed Raidon wouldn't even notice. He was too busy hating me to
notice my outfit. I sighed and pressed my purse tightly to my body. Irony had c
onvinced me to do this. After we went to the clinic to get a blood test to confi
rm I was hopelessly pregnant, she gave me a lecture about raising a child by mys
elf. She said that a child needed his father. She even told me a sad story about
some orphan girl she knew in her past. Irony really knew how to convince someon
e.

I forced myself to start treading towards the entry. The guard gave me a strange
look as I entered the building, maybe because of my outfit. I was wearing worn
jeans and loose purple polo shirt, my purse was black blue and my converse were
purple. I sighed in frustration when I saw the girl, who had treated me awfully
the other day.
"You again?" she asked cocking an eyebrow. Her grey uniform was tightly wrapped
around her body.
"Hum, yes, I'm here to see Raidon," I replied trying to sound secure.
"I bet you are," she stated giving me a fake smile "You are not welcome in this
company, so I suggest you leave before I call security,"
"I need to talk to him. It'll be just a few seconds. I would tell him by phone
but he's not answering my calls," that was slightly a lie. I didn't think it was
appropriate to tell him I was pregnant over the phone.
"Have some dignity and leave before you embarrass yourself even more," the girl
said arrogantly. Tears filled my eyes but I held them back. What was wrong with
me? Since when Had I become such an emotional person? Was it because I was preg
nant? I heard that pregnant women get sensitive all the time because of the horm
ones "Hey," snake girl's squeaky voice snapped me out of my thoughts "Move," she
gestured rudely with her hand. I squeezed my hands, burying my nails in my palm
. I glanced at the elevator and noticed the guard was having a cup of tea a few
meters away from it. That was my chance.
I ran to the elevator not paying attention to the yelling behind me. Once I was
inside, I pressed the seventh floor button. I saw the guard and snake girl runn
ing desperately towards me. I prayed to God for the elevator's doors to close an
d when they did I sighed in relief. I was going to get in a lot of trouble for t
his but I couldn't care less. I held my stomach and let my hand slide down to my
lower abdomen. I smiled, there was someone growing inside me. There was a littl
e person there who was going to be my son or daughter. I caressed my belly and k
ept smiling like an idiot.
My baby...
I would never let anything happen to him. It was for him I was going to push my
pride and dignity aside to beg Raidon one more time. A part of me really hoped
he would listen to me. I didn't think I was strong enough to deal with this alon
e. I knew I had my family with me but it was not the same. I needed Raidon's com
forting words, I needed the way he made me feel so safe. I needed him next to me
.
The elevator's door went opened and I walked out it. The hallway looked lonely.
I went through it and spotted the wooden door. This was it, for some reason I w
as not nervous. I felt like my baby was giving me strength. God, I was crazy, my
baby was probably a small embryo and I was already thinking he was there cheeri
ng for me. I smiled at the thought.
Once I was in front of Raidon's door, I opened it in a fast move. My heart sank
in my chest. Raidon was sitting in his big chair, his tie was a little bit loos
ened and his hair was sexily messy. His blondie secretary was sitting on the des
k. They were too close for my like and she was laughing at something he said. Te
ars escaped my eyes, I couldn't hold them back. They weren't doing anything but
I still felt betrayed. How was he so calmed and relaxed? He seemed to be doing g
reat without me. How could he be so heartless? I had cried over him for days whi
le he was just fooling around with his secretary?
"Raidon," I called him with a broken voice. He looked at me, his eyes widened s
lightly. I knew he was not expecting to see me here.
"What are you doing here?" he asked coldly. The blondie got off the desk and fi
xed her very short skirt.
"Do you want me to call security?" she asked Raidon with that slutty voice of h
ers.
"No," he said, his eyes never leaving mine. I looked down wiping my tears away.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, leave us now." he said sounding so cold. The Blondie left but not before
glaring at me and whispering to me 'Good luck, bitch' she closed the door behind
her and Raidon and I were soon left in silence. I glanced at him and he was sta
ring at me so intensively I had to look away "What do you want?" I heard him ask
.
"I..." Ok, this was hardest than I thought. Was I supposed to tell him I was pr
egnant so casually? I looked at him and swallowed "There's something I need to t
ell you, I-I don't know how to say it but-"
"Just say it, I'm busy" he said rudely. My heart sank deeper in my chest. This
was not the Raidon I knew, this was not the sweet man I fell in love with. He wa
s masking himself, It was in that moment I realized what he was doing. He was sh
ielding himself, trying to hide behind that mask of arrogance and coldness. I kn
ew what was behind that fake facade. I started walking towards him with long str
ides "What are you doing?" he frowned as I passed the desk to stand right in fro
nt of him.
"I know you, Raidon. Stop pretending you don't care, stop acting like you don't
love me anymore." Raidon had to look up to meet my eyes.
"What do you know about love?" his word hurt but I kept my strong pose.
"I love you," I said and leaned down. I held his face; my entire body throbbed
in anticipation. I kissed him; his soft full lips met mine for a second. He grab
bed my wrists and I pulled away scared that he would reject me. I straightened m
y body; his eyes were burning a hole on my face. He was still holding my wrists.
I noticed his breathing had quickened. The tension was so thick I doubted a nee
dle could go through it. Raidon stood up and pushed me roughly against his desk.
His face was just a few inches away from mine. He was so close; I had to sit on
the desk to move away from him.
"Don't tempt me, Alyssa." his voice was husky. I swallowed.
"I..." his thumb caressed my lower lip softly. Raidon opened my legs and got be
tween them. He wrapped an arm around my waist to pull me closer to him.
"Why are you here?" his warm minty breath brushed my face.
"I..." it was so hard to think when he was so close.
"Speak before I do really bad things to you," he whispered in my ear. A shiver
went down my spine and I tried to get some space between us. His grip on my wais
t tightened "You are not going escape from me," He was driving me crazy. He sli
d his had under my polo shirt to caress my stomach and then went up. He cupped o
ne of my breasts and I let out a sigh of pleasure.
"Raidon... don't..."
"God, I want you so bad it hurts," he said huskily, his tongue licking my neck.

"Stop," I ordered but my voice didn't sound as strong as I'd wanted.
"No," he said firmly and bit my neck. I arched forwards. I could feel his hard
manhood pressing on my core. His mouth went to my ear, he squeezed my boobs and
he spoke "I'm going to make you mine right here on this desk," his words turned
me on even more "I'm going to make you moan my name over and over again,"
"Raidon..." I whispered submerged in lust.
"I'm going to show you I'm better than him," I heard him say. I froze. It was l
ike a bucket of cold water was thrown over me. I pushed him away, Raidon scowled
at me.
"What did you just say?" I asked completely hurt.
"You know exactly what I said," he stated and tried to touch me again.
"No," I slapped his hand but he grabbed my wrists and placed them behind my bac
k. My boobs were pressed on his chest.
"Stop playing the hard," he said burying his face in my neck. I struggled to re
lease myself.
"Stop!" I ordered but he was not listening. His free hand started unzipping my
jeans "No,"
"I'll be quick," he whispered and bit my neck hard. Tears filled my eyes once m
ore. It was like he was a starving dog and I was a piece of meat, he was hungry
of me. His tongue licked my skin lustfully, his hand touched me roughly and his
teeth nibbled my neck desperately.
"You smell so good,"
"No, stop, please," I begged even when my traitor body was actually enjoying hi
s rough touch. His hand slid inside my unzipped jeans. I squirmed, trying to get
away but when his hand touched my core, a shot of pleasure crossed my body.
"You are so wet," he said sliding a finger inside me. A moan left my lips and I
quicklt regretted it. Raidon smirked and pushed his finger deeper inside me. I
had to stop him, even my body was yelling at me to let him continue.
"Raidon, I..." I trailed off "I'm..." he began thrusting his finger inside me.
I was burning.
"You are so tight," he said looking into my eyes. I saw the lust plastered on h
is face. But that was not what I wanted from him. I wanted him to love me again.

"Raidon, I'm pregnant." I blurted out freezing him.
This was not going to be easy.

- Good Friend -

To say Raidon was frozen was an understatement. He was petrified; he stepped bac
k away from me in silence. His dark eyes stared at me in shock and his lips were
tightly pressed in a tight line. I wondered if he was breathing, because his ch
est was not moving. I remained motionless sitting on his desk. I didn't know wha
t to do or say. Raidon raised his hands to hold his head and let out a long brea
th.
"Raidon-"
"Don't!" he cut me off and shook his head. Was I supposed to stay there and say
nothing? I shifted uncomfortably on the desk and ran my fingers through my hair
. Raidon leaned against the wall across me and kept his eyes glued to the ground
. Why wasn't he saying anything? His silence was killing me, couldn't he see it?
I needed him to say something, even if it was an insult. I could sense my wild
heart beats and the sweat in my hands.
His gaze went up to meet mine "Is it mine?" he asked, expectation plastered on
his face. In another circumstances, I would have slapped his face hard and storm
ed out of his office. But even when his questions hurt me like acid, I knew he w
ould ask that after what happened with Kaito.
"Yes," I dragged out nodding slightly. He looked away and bit his lower lip ner
vously. I seriously needed him to speak. This was killing me. Raidon loosened hi
s tie a little, he obviously needed some air. I gazed at him in silence. Even th
ough, we were in a very serious situation, I couldn't help checking him out. He
was so beautiful, his dark eyes were so deep, his features seemed to be carved b
y an artist. His midnight black hair was sexily messy as usual. His dark-blue su
it really fit him. He looked like he could be on a magazine cover very easily. H
e didn't need anything else, he emanated sexiness and power.
But Raidon's looks weren't all I felt attracted to. He was an amazing guy, he wa
s caring, loving, sweet and excellent in bed. My cheeks tinted with red at that
last statement.
I loved him... not because he was hot. There were many hot guys out there. I lo
ved him because who he was. I loved him because he was the only one who supporte
d me on my dark moments when I felt I had no strength left. I loved him because
he didn't judge me even when I stripped for living. He meant so much to me; I di
dn't know what I would do without him. I had no idea how I would rise a child by
own. I watched him in silence; his eyes were glued to the ground. It was in tha
t moment I realized something.
I wanted him to be happy even if that wasn't beside me. I wanted him to smile a
nd enjoy his life even if it was with another girl. That's the power of true lov
e; you want that person to be happy even when you know you will suffer deeply. T
here is not room for selfishness in true love. When you put his needs above your
s, it is when you are truly and hopelessly in love with that person.
I was truly in love with Raidon. I didn't want him to suffer or looked so lost
and confused as he was looking in this mere instant. I got off the desk.
"I will leave you alone, you need some time," I said trying to keep a strong to
ne. I gave my back to him and walked to the door. Those were the longest steps I
had taken in my entire life. I wanted him to stop me, to celebrate with me, to
tell he was happy I was carrying his baby but any of those things happened and i
t broke my heart as I left his office and closed the door behind me. I entered t
he hallway and hurried to the elevator. Tears were rolling free down my cheeks.
"I hope I don't see you again," the blond secretary said bitterly as I went pas
t her "bitch," she finished grinning at me. I got out of that building as fast a
s I could. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know where to go so I simply walke
d straight through the sidewalk. I felt so hurt and lonely. My cell phone rang a
nd hope filled my broken heart. Was it him? Had he snapped out of his trance? I
got my cell phone out of my purse and got disappointed when I saw the ID: Brando
n.

I hesitated, I didn't know whether to answer or not. Brandon was a good person b
ut I wasn't sure if it was the right time to talk to him. Sighing, I pressed the
green button.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Alyssa. It's been a long time," his cheerful voice filled my ear.
"I know,"
"Are you okay? You sound ... are you crying?" he asked worried.
"No, I'm just ... I'm fine, do not worry"
"You're lying," he sounded pretty sure about it. I swallowed and tried to clear
my throat.
"I'm fine, Brandon."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, well ..." Why was I lying? Why did I bother to say I was okay when I was
actually devastated? "The truth is I'm not well," I admitted.

"Where are you?"
"River stone Street," I said, reading a notice in front of me.
"I'm close, I'll pick you up,"
"You do not have to do-"
"Just wait for me," he interrupted me and hung up. I got my phone back in my pu
rse, and wiped the tears from my face. I knew I looked like crap but I didn't wa
nt Brandon to see the mess I'd become.

After the longest ten minutes of my life, I watched as Brandon's truck was park
ed near the sidewalk. He got out of the car and surrounded it to face me.
Brandon looked damn good. His blonde hair shone in the sunlight, his blue eyes
looked brighter than usual. He was wearing worn jeans and a black flannel, which
emphasized his tanned skin. I stood there spellbound for a few seconds. What th
e hell was wrong with me? I shook my head; I could not check him out in this mom
ent. It was so inappropriate.
"Are you okay?" Brandon asked, approaching me. His hands held my face. Then I c
ould feel the smell of a smooth colony. I could only shake my head negatively an
d hugged him. For a moment, I wanted to forget my problems and just feel safe in
the arms of a friend. He only stroked my head gently.
"I do not know what happened, but I promise you'll be fine." he said tenderly.
"My life is a mess," I mumbled in his chest.

"No, it's not," he affirmed breaking the embrace "Let's go, you seriously need s
ome fresh air." I smiled sadly at him.

"Do I look that bad?" I asked knowing I wasn't in my best outfit. Brandon grinne
d at me.

"Hum, define bad," I punched his arm and he chuckled.


After watching Brandon drive through the city for about half an hour, we reached
a long lonely road. I wanted to ask him where we were going but I was enjoying
our silence very much. I wanted to thank Brandon for not bombarding me with ques
tions. It was like he knew I didn't want to talk about it. I watched the trees p
assing by through the window; I took a deep breath in. Brandon's car smelled of
mint and wood. It was a strange combination but that was the way it smelled. My
cell phone vibrated inside my purse and I got it out.

New Message.

I hesitated to open the message since it was from an unknown number. Was it Raid
on? He couldn't have got a new phone, right? Maybe he did to get rid of me and m
y stalkerish calls. I clicked the message opened and frowned.

From: 456698556

Are u pregnant?
-Kaito.

I scowled at the screen. Oh, right he had got a new phone. But that was not the
point, how did Kaito find out? Did Raidon tell him? God, men were fast and they
would complain we, women, were the ones who gossiped. Who asked that on a text a
nyway? Kaito was really insensitive or maybe he was just too shocked to call me.
but seriously, a text? Jeez, it was not like he was asking how was the weather
or something. I pressed the button to reply and typed,

l Are you serious? l

and sent it. Brandon kept his eyes on the road but he would constantly glance at
me. He was probably worried about me jumping out of his truck or breaking into
tears any moment. My cell phone buzzed. I opened the new message.

l Of course, I'm serious! Where ar u? l

Oh men, Kaito was not being really smart right now. I smiled as I typed my reply
.

l U ar so sensitive, Kaito (Note sarcasm) Yes, I'm pregnant and I'd tell u where
I am but I don know l

Before I could put my phone back in my purse, it rang. I checked the ID, unknown
number. Should I pick up? I didn't feel like talking or explaining anything rig
ht now so I activated the silence mode in my phone and shoved it inside my purse
.

"Is everything alright?" Brandon asked glancing at me from the corner of his eye
.

"Yeah,"

"We are here," he informed as he stopped the truck, and killed the engine. I got
off the truck and my eyes widened in shock. We were in front of a big sunny bea
ch. I had come here a few times when I was younger but this was the first time I
came here in a while. The hot breeze moved my messy hair back violently. The so
und of waves clashing into shore was refreshing. This was actually making me fee
l better. The sensation of the wind against my skin, the warm sunlight and the f
resh sound of waves instantly made me feel better.

"Do you like it?" Brandon asked from behind. I started taking my shoes off.

"I love it," I stated throwing my converse inside the truck through the window.
I started walking feeling the warm sand under my bare feet. This was so relaxing
, I felt like I was in another world, a world free of problems and broken hearts
. I filled my lungs with fresh air and exhaled it slowly "When you said I needed
fresh air, I never thought it was literal," I said as I sensed Brandon walking
next to me.
"Well, here's where I come when I'm upset so I thought It would help," he repli
ed coolly. I glanced at him and sent him a warm smile.
We sat in front of the shore; the sun was actually pretty intense up there.
"Feeling better?" Brandon asked looking at me. I met his eyes and smiled.
"Yes, thank you." I said frankly.
"No need to thank me, you looked pretty upset on that sidewalk,"
"You mean I look terrible," I stated looking at the ground. He held my chin for
cing me to look up at him.
"You are beautiful, Alyssa. You never look terrible," his blue eyes shone in si
ncerity. I swallowed blushing fiercely. Brandon probably noticed my uneasiness b
ecause he cleared his throat and put his back hand on his lap.
"So what's wrong?" he tried to sound cool but I could sense the worry in his vo
ice. I sighed, "you don't have to tell if you don't want,"
"No, it's cool," I said giving him a reassuring smile "the thing is..." Brandon
was staring at me anxiously. How was I supposed to tell him I was pregnant? I r
eally enjoyed his company; I didn't want him to run away from me desperately. Pr
egnancy usually scared the hell out of men, right?
"You can tell me anything, Alyssa," he assured squeezing my hand.
"Well... I broke up with my boyfriend," It felt awful to omit the fact I was ca
rrying his baby.
"Oh... again?" Brandon asked frowning. It was then I remembered he had witnesse
d that time Raidon and I had broken up when I found out about his fiance.
"Yeah, again," I admitted embarrassed.
"What happened?"
"He cheated on me... well, that was I thought... but then I cheated on him with
his cousin but his cousin was dating Meredith the girl my boyfriend was suppose
d to be with and then-"
"Woah, woah, slow down," Brandon said obviously confused.
"I screwed things up, that pretty much summarizes all," I stated looking at sea
. I could feel Brandon's eyes on me.
"I'm sure you didn't mean to do it, Alyssa. I can tell you are not a bad girl,"
"How could you know that? You barely know me"
"Well, I don't think a girl whose favorite movie is 'Jeux d'enfants' can be tha
t evil," his statement stole a smile from my lips. I glanced at him.
"Are you sure?" I asked cocking an eyebrow at him. He nodded his head looking s
erious but I could see the smile forming slowly in his lips "Well, I guess you'r
e not a bad boy then," I said shifting on the sand to face him.
"How so?" he asked doing the same.
"Well, a boy whose favorite movie is Transformers cannot be that bad, probably
a nerd but not a bad guy," I teased finishing with a smirk. Brandon smirked back
at me, showing his straight set of teeth.
"Are you saying I'm a nerd?" he asked looming over me. I placed my hands on the
sand supporting myself as I leaned back away from him.
"Maybe," his smirk grew bigger and it was then I realized he was dangerously cl
ose to me. My gaze dropped to his lips, his full lips, they were wet as if he ha
d just licked them. I looked away and pushed him gently back to get on my feet "
Nerd," I whispered to him and started running towards the water.
"Don't think you can call me nerd and escape!" he shouted behind me.
"Whatever you say, nerd!" I screamed getting in the water, my pace slowed down
due to the heaviness we usually feel when we are walking through water.
I knew I was avoiding my problems. But how can you blame me for wanting a littl
e escape from reality? My life was a mess but at least I got to laugh and smile
for the first time in weeks. And I would have to thank Brandon later for that.
He was indeed a good friend.

- I'm lost without you -

Irony's P.O.V

That boy was going to get it! I thought as I drove fast through the city jam. I
squeezed the steering wheel feeling extremely mad at him. How could he? That stu
pid Raidon! Alyssa had come home all wet and cried herself to sleep. Even though
, Brandon had managed to distract her for a while, when she came home she broke
into tears and I had to soothe her until she ran out of tears and fell asleep.
That bastard!
How could he do this? She was carrying his freaking baby for God sakes! A baby t
hat was inside her because of his stupid failure of anti conceptive in the first
place. She had trusted him about their safety. Oh but he was going to get it no
w. Alyssa was like my sister, she was family. You mess with my family and you me
ss with me. I pressed my horn hard as I dodged many cars.
"You crazy bitch!" I heard a driver scream at me. I took my hand out of the wind
ow and gave him my finger.
"Take that, jerk!" I replied and got my hands on the steering wheel again. I sti
ll didn't know how I had managed to convince Alex to lend me his car. He had ref
used very fiercely at the beginning, he probably thought I was a bad driver and
he was actually right about that. I followed the address; Amanda had given it to
me innocently. She had no idea of my evil plans.
When I spotted the big building, I sank my foot deep in the brakes causing the c
ar to stop abruptly. I almost slammed my head against the steering wheel. I got
out of the car and ran towards the entry. A guard walked to me.
"Miss, you cannot park there, this is-"
"Oh bite me," I gave him my finger and ran past him.
"Miss!" he was soon left behind. I entered the building and the receptionist got
up her chair shocked.
"Miss?" she asked as she was waiting for me to explain her something.
"I'm looking for Raidon," I stated glancing at the elevator.
"Do you have an appointment?" she asked faking a smile.
"Stop her!" The guard appeared getting everyone's attention. I saw another two g
uards coming towards me. Uh-oh, I ran fast towards the elevator, clenching my fi
sts at my sides.
I can do this I said inside my head. When the first guard tried to grab me, I pu
nched him hard on the face.
"Ow!" I said shaking my hand, my knuckles hurting. The other guard held me by my
shoulders and I lifted my leg kicking him where the sun doesn't shine.
"Ah!" he fell to the ground, writhing in pain. I smirked; I had learnt so many t
hings in the streets. you had to know how to fight and defend yourself if you wa
nted to survive. I jumped over the guards and got inside the elevator. There was
an old lady inside, she screamed as I pressed the button to close the door. I w
as breathing heavily, my fingers were throbbing painfully. Damn, that guard had
a hard face. I shook my hand trying to calm the pain.
"What are you doing?" The old lady asked shocked "Let me out!" I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not going to hurt you,"
"I don't believe you, I saw the way you knocked those guards down,"
"I just need to talk to the owner of this company,"
"You mean Raidon?"
"Yeah,"
"Why? Are you going to hurt him? I won't let you hurt him,"
"Who are you?" I asked, scowling at her.
"Who are you?" she emphasized the 'you'
"I have no time for this, do you know which one is his floor?" I asked staring a
t the many buttons and options.
"Why would I tell you?"
"Fine, don't tell me,"
"Who are you?" she asked again sounding concern. I ignored her and used my logic
. If I was the owner of the company, which floor would it be mine? The last one!
I pressed the seventh floor button "No!" the lady tried to press another button
but I blocked the elevator's panel from her.
"Easy!"
"I won't let you hurt him!" she assured. Was her his mother or something?
"Are you his mother?" before she could reply, the elevator's door went opened an
d I got out quickly. I pressed the first floor button and pushed the lady furthe
r inside "See you later!" I said as I ran through a long hallway. I saw a big wo
oden door and smiled in victory, that definitely looked like a boss' door. A blo
nde got on my way; she had some folders in her hands.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?" Oh, so this was Raidon's secretary,
Ally told me about her.
"Hello, bitch," I greeted and her eyes widened in shock. Before she could say so
mething, I slapped her hard across the face, she fell on her ass moaning in pain
. I really hoped it hurt her enough. I opened the -so claimed- boss' door and go
t inside, closing it behind me. When I looked at his desk, he was sitting calmin
g behind it. His elbows were resting against the surface, his hands entangled.
"What are you doing here?" he asked coldly. I could see the powerful aura around
him, but he was not going to intimidate me.
"Listen to me, and listen good, pretty boy," I started taking a few steps toward
s him "I don't know what's going on inside that head of yours and I couldn't car
e less, but you hurt my sister-"
"She's not your sister,"
"To me, she is," I spoke bitterly "you hurt her, and she has enough dealing with
her mother's sickness,"
"She cheated on me,"
"Is that all you've got?" I asked exasperated "She forgave you when you lied to
her about your fiance; she took you back because she loves you. We all make mistak
es, we are humans. That's why God provides us with the ability to forgive those
ones we love," he stayed in silence "she's carrying your baby now and instead of
supporting her, you're giving your back to her. Do you have any idea of how sca
red she is? She didn't plan this; she trusted you and your stupid contraceptive
method,"
"I didn't-"
"I'm not done," I raised my hand "you're being a selfish jerk, do you think your
stupid pride is what matters now? No, it's not. There's a baby coming, he is wh
at matters now. Ally knows that and that's why she came to you again after you h
umiliated her in this place. She asked you for forgiveness, yes, she made a mist
ake but she was broken and confused. She was just a victim of the circumstances,
" I took a deep breath in "I'm here for the baby, not for her because she deserv
es better than you, and not for you because I don't give a damn about you but th
e baby... I'm here for him because he deserves a family," I looked down for a mo
ment "I was an orphan, I know what it feels like not to have someone with you an
d even though I know Ally is going to love that baby and take care of him, he wi
ll need his father, he will need you," Raidon looked away as his phone started t
o ring. He picked it up.
"Yes, she is here," he replied staring at me "No, it's fine, I said it's fine,"
he hung up.
"Well, that was all I wanted to say, I'm probably going to jail for what I did t
o your guards,"
"No, they will let you go," he replied. I cocked an eyebrow at him.
"One last thing," I started noticing the sadness in his eyes "you're going to lo
se her, Raidon; a heart can bare a defined quantity of pain. Think about everyth
ing but don't take too long because once she stops loving you, there's no turnin
g back," I said and stormed out of the room.

Alyssa's P.O.V

I was tapping my nails on the kitchen table impatiently. My mother was sitting a
cross me, chopping some vegetables. Alex was watching TV in the living room. I p
retended to be reading a magazine, true was; I was extremely worried about Irony
. When I woke up, Alex told me she had taken his car to go somewhere. Alex had b
een so nervous that I immediately knew there was something going on. It was when
my mother told me Irony had asked her about Raidon's company address that every
thing clicked inside my mind: She went to see Raidon. I told her to stay out of
it.
"I'm home!" Irony's voice filled my ears. Quickly, I got on my feet and ran towa
rds the door. She was already in the living room, "Thanks," she said as she gave
Alex his keys back.
"Irony!" I called her folding my arms across my chest. She looked at me and swal
lowed.
"Hey,"
"Upstairs, now," I ordered stalking towards the stairs.
"Good luck," I heard Alex whisper to her.
Once we entered my room, I forced her to sit on the bed and listen my lecture. S
he stayed in silence as I told her many reasons why she shouldn't have done that
. When I was done, I gestured her to say something.
"What can I say? I just... I'm sorry I had to do it for the baby,"
"Did you...hum, speak to him?" I asked nervously, slightly afraid of the answer.
"Yes,"
"Hum, did he... what did he say?"
"He didn't say much,"
"Tell me everything," I said as I sat next to her on the bed.
Irony proceeded to tell me the entire story; I couldn't help laughing at some pa
rts like when she hit the guards. I felt good when she told me she had slapped t
hat blonde secretary, she deserved it. I let myself fall back on the bed, my eye
s glued to the ceiling as I imagined the entire scene. My hands slid down to my
lower abdomen.
"Irony,"
"Huh?" she laid next to me, her hand held mine.
"Thank you," I said squeezing her hand, glancing at her.
"What for?" she moved her head to the side to look at me.
"For being here, I really don't know what I would do without you. I'd probably b
e freaking out right now," I admitted looking right into her eyes. She smiled at
me.
"Thank you," she said sounding frank.
"What? Why?" I scowled at her.
"For letting me in your life, for being there for me, for letting me stay here.
You have no idea how much it means to me, Ally. I've never had a real home, with
a real mother and a crazy spoiled sister," I chuckled.
"I'm not spoiled,"
"I was referring to Alex," she added with a wink and I burst out into laughter.
"You're hopeless," I said still laughing.
"I know," she admitted chuckling. My cell phone buzzed and a chill went down my
spine. I really hoped it wasn't another text from Kaito, when I was coming back
this morning from the beach with Brandon, Kaito had texted me non-stop. I checke
d the screen and sighed in relief. It was a text from Brandon.
From: Brandon
Hey, how are u? Feeling better?
I quickly typed 'Slightly better' and sent it.
"Who is it?" Irony asked curious.
"It's Brandon,"
"Oh Prince charming," she added grinning at me.
"Prince charming?" I cocked an eyebrow at her.
"Yeah, that's his nickname,"
"Since when?"
"Since the very first moment I saw him this morning. Blond hair, big blue eyes,
he looks exactly like a prince charming to me," she explained.
"You're crazy," I said shaking my head disapprovingly.
"Whatever you say," she said getting off the bed "I'm starving, knocking men dow
n and slapping bitches can really drain your energy," I chuckled "I'm heading to
the kitchen, do you want something?"
"No, by the way, your lunch is in the microwave,"
"Thank you," she said getting out.
My phone buzzed again and sat up on my bed to start a very long conversation thr
ough texts with Brandon.
Brandon: Glad, ur feeling better.
Me: Yeah, how ar u?
Brandon: I'm good, I'm re-reading one of my favorite books.
Me: And you deny you're a nerd :)
Brandon: don't start with that again.
Me: Then admit it.
Brandon: I won't. I'm not a nerd.
Me: Your in denial.
Brandon: I am not.
Me: Yes, you are.
Brandon: You're being immature, you know that, right?
Me: :O....
Brandon: What?
Me: You insulted me :(
Brandon: No, I didn't.
Me: :(
Brandon: I'm sorry, I was just joking.
Me: :(
Brandon: Stop it with the sad face. I said I was sorry.
Me: .....
Brandon: I'm just a silly nerd, forgive me.
Me: Got you! :D
Brandon: You were joking?
Me: Yeah, I got you to admit you are a nerd.
Brandon: You are an evil little thing!
Me: Proudly ;)
Brandon: I'm going to get back at you ;)
Me: how?
Brandon: You'll see.

We kept texting each other for the rest of the afternoon, teasing each other and
telling lame jokes. Brandon was a really nice guy, I was glad I met him. When n
ight arrived, I went to the living room. My mother offered me to sit next to her
. I spent the night watching soap operas with her, resting my head on her lap. I
rony joined us a few minutes later. My mother caressed my head gently. It felt s
o good to be in her arms.
How was I supposed to survive without her? I shook those thoughts out of my head
, I didn't want to go there, it was too painful and being as sensitive as I was,
I would probably end up crying. The soap operas weren't really helping either.
Whenever the protagonist kissed the love of her life, my chest would tighten in
pain because I remembered Raidon. God, I missed him so much.
How I wish he was here with me. I wanted him to tell me everything was going to
be okay. I wanted him to do stupid things like talk to my belly thinking the bab
y could hear him. I wanted many things.
How was I going to make it through without him? I doubted I could continue worki
ng as a stripper. I didn't want to put my baby in danger. Well, I had some savin
gs that I had kept in case of an emergency with my mother. I could get by with t
hat for a while. This is not how I have pictured it I said inside my head.
"Hey!" Alex's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I could hear his desperate st
eps as he was coming down stairs "Can someone explain me why there's a pregnancy
test in the trash?!" he asked loudly "which it's positive, by the way,"
The three of us got out of the couch quickly. I was caught in the middle of Iron
y and my mother. We shared gazes and remained in silence.
"So?" Alex asked putting his hand on his hips "Are you going to speak or just st
and there?"
"Hum..." I trailed off.
"Who is pregnant?" he inquired.
"I don't know what you're talking about," my mother lied but her voice trembled
slightly. Alex narrowed his eyes at us.
"It's me," Irony said taking a step forwards "I'm pregnant," Alex's eyes widened
. for a moment, I saw a flash of hurt crossed his face. What was that about?
"You? How... when... who?" Alex was really shocked.
"That's none of your business," Irony replied coldly. Alex pressed his lips in a
tight line, regaining his casual pose.
"You're right," he said giving his back to us.
"Alex..." I started following him.
"She's right, I'm fine," he said and went upstairs. I sighed in frustration, why
did I feel like we hurt him? We continued watching the soap opera and went to s
leep after it was finished.

- A few days later -

A ray of sunlight was attacking my left eye with force. I opened my eyes slowly
and cussed inside my head. Why were my curtains opened? I was pretty sure I had
closed them last night. I rolled over and buried my face in my pillow in a usele
ss attempt to get back to sleep. It was Saturday; I had no classes at college so
I could oversleep a little. But of course, I couldn't get back to dreamland eve
n if I tried. I was wide awake. I hit my pillow in frustration and sat up. My me
ssy hair was stuck to my cheeks and foreheads.
I rubbed my face and yawned. What time was it? I checked the alarm clock on my t
able: 7:36 am. Really? It was so early! I was sure everyone in the house was sti
ll sleeping. I felt a funny but very familiar sensation in my stomach. I jumped
out of bed and ran desperately towards the bathroom. I leaned over the toilet bo
wl and vomited my Chinese dinner from yesterday. The disgusting smell hit my nos
tril and I almost vomited again.
I really didn't understand this pregnancy thing work. What was the point of havi
ng these intense cravings for food if I was going to vomit the entire thing the
next day? Last night, I had this incredible urge to eat Chinese food, what for?
I just vomited the entire thing and believe me, it was not pleasant. I shook my
head and walked lazily to the sink. I leaned over to wash my mouth and then I st
arted brushing my teeth. I straightened my body and froze when I saw the mirror
in front of me. There was something written in red lipstick on it:
'Look through your window'
I frowned. It had a happy face at the end.
"What the..." a song started playing in my room. I took a step back to see throu
gh the bathroom's door. The sound was coming from my cell phone. It was I'm lost
without you by Blink 182. What? But I didn't even remember having that song in
my phone in the first place. Who was calling me this early anyway?
"Are you afraid of being alone
Cause I am, I'm lost without you
Are you afraid of leaving tonight
Cause I am, I'm lost without you..."
I went slowly out of the bathroom, holding my toothbrush inside my mouth. Was Ir
ony trying to scare me again? She had tried twice the other day by doing weird t
hings like writing on my belly and leaving notes on my bed. I knew she was just
trying to cheer me up but each time she would scare the hell out of me so she st
opped doing it.
Slowly, I walked to the window and held the curtain aside to take a look. My hea
rt came to a halt and my jaw almost dropped to the floor. I had to grasp my toot
hbrush with my hand to stop it from falling to the floor.
There were dozens, no, hundreds maybe thousands of roses covering my entire fron
t garden. I could not see the ground at all; everywhere I looked was coated with
red roses. And there... right in the middle he stood.
Raidon...
My chest tightened, he was wearing a black suit. His hair was slightly combed bu
t still disheveled in a sexy way. The morning sunlight was brushing past his pal
e skin. My eyes filled with tears. He was so beautiful, he didn't seem real. Was
I dreaming? If I was, then this was the most amazing dream I'd ever had. He loo
ked up, his dark eyes met my hazel ones and his full lips formed a smile.
"Please, forgive me." he said softly. My breath was caught inside my lungs "I wa
s a jerk, I am so sorry, I can't live without you, Ally," I couldn't utter a wor
d; a tear rolled down my cheek "Can you forgive me? Please, I'll do anything, an
ything for you," I couldn't move, I couldn't speak. He looked so vulnerable; the
re was no trace of the cold Raidon from before
"I love you, Ally. I do," he held his chest as he spoke "I was an idiot, I was j
ust jealous and... you are carrying my child. You have no idea how happy that ma
de me feel," more tears kept rolling down my cheeks. My neighbors were starting
to get out of their houses to watch the scene. I threw the toothbrush away and c
overed my mouth trying to stop the sobs. "Do you forgive me, Ally?" his eyes hel
d so much expectation.
"Yes," I replied nodding "do you forgive me?" I asked referring to the Kaito's s
ubject. He smiled at me.
"Would I be here if I haven't forgiven you already?" I shook my head.
"I..."
"Would you take me back?" he asked, my heart was hammering inside my chest.
"Yes," I replied with a broken voice. He grinned up at me.
"Would you come down for me? My neck is starting to hurt," he said playfully. I
nodded chuckling at his comment and turned on my heels. I sprinted to my room's
door and slammed it opened. I was surprised to see roses' petals all over the ha
llway and stairs. I practically ran out of the house and crashed into his arms.
I was sobbing uncontrollably. His smell hit my nostrils softly. How I missed him
! I leaned back and he held my face with both hands "So are we officially back t
ogether?"
"Yes, why?" he let go of my face and took a step backwards.
"So I can do this," he stated as he got on one knee.
"Oh my God..." I covered my mouth. Raidon got a little box out of his pocket. I
couldn't breathe, my sight was blurred.
"Alyssa Lambert," my lower lip quivered as he opened the little box. A big shini
ng ring was on sight. "Would you marry this jerk?" he asked, expectation plaster
ed on his face. I couldn't utter a word for a moment. I could feel the stares fr
om my entire neighborhood, not to mention Alex, Irony and my mother who were sta
nding in the doorframe.
"Yes," I managed to say and broke into tears.

The Stripper



& Chapter 41 &

Engaged.
"Let me see it!" Irony exclaimed pulling at my hand to take a look at the engage
ment ring "Oh My... it's so... wow! It's huge and that, my friend," she pointed
the ring "is what I called a freaking authentic diamond!" she kept complimenting
the ring as I started taking off my clothes. As soon as Raidon and I had our lo
vely-dovey moment, I had run upstairs and walked inside my room. I needed to cha
nge and do some miracle on my mess of a hair.
My boyfriend was downstairs looking smoking hot while I was still in my pajamas
without even combing my hair. So classy, Ally. I entered the bathroom and Irony
sat on my bed waiting for me. Warm water started falling on me, relaxing me. I c
ould not believe what just happened. My life had changed drastically in the past
few days. I closed my eyes listing the facts.
I thought Raidon had cheated on me so I cheated on him with his cousin.
Kaito and I got on a magazine's cover getting all touchy. Embarrassing, much?
Raidon saw us and broke up with me.
I begged Raidon for forgiveness but he didn't listen to me.
Then, I found out I was pregnant. That part still shocks me.
Irony stood up for me and slapped Raidon back to reality. She didn't literally
slap him but she slapped that bitch of a secretary instead. Oh how I still enjoy
that.
Now, Raidon appeared in my garden looking absolutely hot and proposed to me.
I sighed remembering that moment. I was so happy in this mere instant that I wa
s sure rainbows and flowers were coming out of my pores. Ok that was a little bi
t too much but hey I was so happy I can't even put it to words right now.
I am engaged.
That statement almost brought tears to my eyes. I was going to get married to t
he man I loved. We were going to have a baby. I caressed my belly slowly. Oh.. t
he baby, I opened my eyes and held my forehead. Mom and Alex thought Irony was t
he one who was pregnant. Damn! How was I going to tell my mother? I may be an ad
ult and all that but to tell my mother I was pregnant still scare the hell out o
f me. A flash of sadness crossed me realizing that my mother was probably not go
ing to see her grandchild. The thought of her not being around me when I give bi
rth to my baby hurt so much. I pushed those thoughts away and headed out of the
shower.
I opened my bathroom's door and found Irony sleeping on my bed. She had my enga
gement ring on her opened palm. God, how could she have fall asleep so fast? The
n, I remembered it was really early in the morning and Irony was definitely not
a morning person. To work as a stripper can really mess up your sleeping routine
. even though, Irony and I weren't working at the moment. The damage was done. I
rony could only fall asleep late in the night and woke up after 10 am the next d
ay.
After getting changed into a short simple dress, I headed downstairs. I didn't
want Raidon to wait for me forever. I reached my living room and there he was si
tting on the couch across my mother. His dark eyes met mine and he smiled at me.

"Finally!" my mother exclaimed leaning deeper in the couch "We thought you were
swallowed by the shower's drainage," I glared at her.
"Mom, that's not funny," I said as I realized Alex was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh right, you still haven't got over that clown movie, right? Sweetheart, a cl
own is not going to pop out of the drainage and kill you," she explained with a
soft tone. It was true the movie "It" had totally marked my life. Can you blame
me? I was five when I watched that movie. Raidon chuckled and gestured me to sit
next to him. I did and he wrapped an arm around me protectively.
"You are safe," he whispered in my ear. I shivered at his closeness. The smell
of his manly cologne hit my nostrils and fought the urge to bury my face in his
neck and sniffs on it.
"Yeah," I whispered. Why was I so nervous? Raidon looked at my mother.
"I was talking to your mother, to make this official," he said casually.
"Oh, mom, there's something I need to say," I started awkwardly.
"I know you are pregnant," my mother said bluntly.
"Yo-you do?" I stuttered.
"Yes, Ally. I'm your mother. You thought I fell for that 'Irony's pregnant' lie
? I know you," she smiled at me "you were so pale and nervous when I announced t
he pregnancy test was positive. Besides, Irony doesn't go out much since she's h
ere and I know she doesn't have a boyfriend."
"You're too smart for your own good, mother," I shook my head disapprovingly.
"I know," she winked at me "And I'm so happy you are getting married, darling,"
her eyes glowed with honesty.
"I know," my mother stood up.
"Well, I'm going to sleep some more. It's so early." she stated walking to the
stairs "have fun, engaged girl," she teased and left. My mother was such a nice
person. I felt so lucky to be her daughter. As soon as Raidon and I were left al
one. I realized there was something in the environment I hadn't noticed before:
Sexual tension. I swallowed and looked at Raidon. His dark eyes looked right int
o mine.
"I missed you so much," he said cupping my cheek.
"I missed you, too," I bit my lower lip. My heart was hammering inside my chest
, my breath quickened. My gaze dropped to his lips, oh those full red lips! He l
eaned closer to me, his warm breath brushed past my face.
"Rai-" his lips crashed into mine interrupting me. He kissed me desperately, my
body started to throb in excitement. He passed his tongue over my lower lip, st
ealing a soft moan from me. He took the opportunity to shove his tongue inside m
y mouth. The kiss was possessive, invasive. I felt like he wanted all of me. I
pulled at his hair trying to get him closer to me. I was on fire; he had turned
on so quickly.
His hands touched my breasts and squeezed them gently. I squirmed in pleasure.
Then, his lips left mine and he went down to kiss my neck. I sighed. I wanted hi
m. I wanted to feel him. Before I knew what I was doing, I jumped to him to stra
ddle him. The bulge in his pants made contact with my core and I arched backward
s in pleasure. I was pressing my body lustfully against him while moving my hips
slowly. His erection was pressing against my core, increasing my need. His lips
met mine again and he kissed me hungrily. His hands pulled down my dress, relea
sing my boobs.
"Ally," he whispered huskily on my lips. He massaged my breasts while his thumb
caressed my erected nipples slowly. I bit my lower lip to stop a loud moan from
leaving my mouth "Ally, we're in your living room," he whispered lowering his h
ead to kiss down my collarbone.
"I don't care," I said honestly. I wanted him now. His tongue licked down chest
until it reached one of my nipples. He got it inside his mouth and started suck
ing hard on it. I covered my mouth, drowning the uncontrollable moans. His free
hand squeezed one of my buttocks and moved down to rub my clitoris above the pan
ties' material.
"You're so wet," he commented, his husky voice filled with lust. My hands clums
ily unzipped his pants and pulled down his boxers enough for his hardness to be
out free. I wrapped my hands around his shift and rubbed his tip with my thumb.
Raidon moaned in my mouth.
"Ally, I can't wait any longer," he said moving my panties to a side "I want yo
u so bad," I could feel the tip of his dick touching my wet entry. I was more th
an ready for him. He entered me in one quick move. I gasped and moaned softly. I
n a matter of seconds, I was riding him like an expert even though we'd never do
ne this position before. I could feel him getting deeper inside me while his han
ds squeezed my hips lustfully. His lips were busy on mine and then went down to
my breasts. He sucked and bit on my nipples hard, causing me to arch backwards.
I was going to explode.
"Oh Raidon," I moaned his name and felt his shift getting harder inside me. I w
as going to die of pleasure in this man's arms.
"Oh fuck, you are so tight," he said pushing himself deeper in me. He grasped a
fist of my hair and forced me to look right into his eyes. I was lost in his in
tense gaze for a moment. His free hand moved down my body to touch my clit. His
eyes never left mine as he did "You like that?" he whispered watching me writhe
in lure as his finger traced circle around my clit and he buried his dick deeper
inside me at the same time.
"Y-Yes," I was out of breath. I could feel the orgasm building up thick inside
me. I covered my mouth knowing that it was coming. He shoved himself against me
and I screamed as I reached the orgasm. A strong wave of pleasure washed over me
. He came inside me and we both collapsed into each other's arms. I rested my fo
rehead on his, breathing heavily.
"God, I love you,"
"I love you, too, Raidon"
The END for now...
