Chapter 3 Cathy

Chapter 3

Simon followed closely behind her as she made her way to her room; he served in the same capacity as a bouncer for the strippers.

As soon as she entered her room, she quickly took off her mask and turned her head to look at Simon very slowly.

"There is no need for you to hold out any longer."

Cathy said this while watching as Simon grinned at her in a friendly way.

"I know, I was just wondering if you were all right."

It was something that Cathy had always known about him, ever since the first time they had met, he was a shy guy.

"Thank you for asking, I'm fine, just exhausted because I have a lecture at 7:30 in the morning. I better be rushing home."

Cathy remarked while flashing a grin at him.

"Don't tell me you are already missing me, Simon,"

Cathy said to Simon while she watched him erupt into a milestone of laughter as she smiled at him and gave him a wink.

"You are not even remotely out of my line of sight; in fact, you are right in front of me. You gave a fantastic performance tonight, and the dance that you did was absolutely unique and extremely challenging."

Simon declared, it was now his turn to smile at her, and he did so.

"Wow, that's incredible; I'm thinking that digging up some old memories might help me come up with the perfect dance."

Cathy said this as she watched him beam his smile once more down at her.

"All right, could you do me a favor?"

Cathy begged, her icy blue eyes reflecting a glimmer of optimism as she spoke.

"What do you need?"

Simon inquired, as he is willing to give her whatever it is that she desires.

"Would you mind if I changed? I have classes first thing in the morning."

Cathy asked him, bursting into gales of laughter at his side reaction to her demand, what was he expecting for her to say.

Simon mumbled, "Oh yes," while scratching his head in a bewildered manner.

Cathy slammed the door and hurriedly made her way to her bedroom, where she threw herself onto the mattress while taking a few shallow breaths.

She slowly sat up after a few minutes, and after some time had passed, she counted the money that she had made throughout the night...

A grin appeared on her face as she realized that she had just made an unimaginably large amount of money tonight. Tonight certainly seems to be unique and wonderful.... Her train of thought was broken when she heard a soft knock on the front door. She muttered under her breath and then slowly made her way towards the door while putting her mask on. She knew that some clients could be crazy enough to sneak into the hall and make their way directly to her room.

When she opened the door, she almost intentionally hit her head on the door, and when she did, she saw that it was none other than her rival Abigail, the girl who despises her for no apparent reason.

"What more could you possibly require?"

Cathy asked as she removed the mask from her face one tiny piece at a time,

Strippers do not hide their face from each other.

"How are you, Lucy? I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but your dance moves were pretty terrible. You just demonstrated some brown collar dance moves, and even though the crowds yelled in response to your petty dance moves, it wasn't as good as mine, which you just gave."

Abigail said with disgust that if eyes could kill, Cathy would have been dead and buried deep under the ground by now. Sadly, however, eyes were only meant to roll, wink, and gaze at people.

"Even though I danced poorly tonight, I still managed to make one thousand and five hundred dollars, which is the equivalent of what you would make in three days or more."

Abigail's face was filled with rage as Cathy made those words.

She opened the door as if remembering something else, and luckily Abigail was still standing there, still shocked at her unexpected return.

"In addition, I would appreciate it if you could forward this message to your boyfriend in a nice way. I do not want him, your high-status boyfriend, to follow me around and beg to have sexual relations with me. I don't mess with people who have influence, especially influential people who are friends with other influential people. If he makes another attempt to ask me out, I won't think twice about rejecting his advances. In addition, my pussy is way too hot and expensive for your boyfriend to handle, thank you very much."

Cathy stated as she could see the surprise and rage on Abigail's face in the same moment. She had reached the point where she was content with her demeanor, so she closed the door once more on her face.

After finishing her conversation with Abigail, which had lasted almost five minutes, she hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a shower. She had spent the entire time talking with her frienemy.

When she left the room, Simon, who had been waiting for her arrival, followed after her.

As she quickly put on her purple sneakers and then her mask, there was no doubt that her audience might be stalking her.

As she was walking towards her car, she noticed a figure standing just a few feet away from her. She let out a groan as she realized it was the same man who never grew tired of stalking her-Mr. Roberts, one of the club's most important customers.

"Lucy, I have been waiting for you."

Mr. Roberts said as he strode towards her. Mr. Roberts wasn't just rich, he showed he had wealth especially with his armor of bodyguards who always flocked around him like flies

"Mr. Roberts, I never gave you permission to stalk me, and I'm curious as to when you plan to stop following me around."

Cathy said. In the following minutes, Mr. Roberts was in front of her, ready to wrap his hands around her waist. However, Simon pulled out his gun, preventing Mr. Roberts from getting any closer. Meanwhile, Mr. Roberts' body guards pulled out their own guns and pointed them directly at Simon.

Cathy was completely confused by the upcoming event that was going to take place right in front of her. She never understood why this night was about to turn into a bloody night, and first, she never knew how Mr. Roberts approached her so quickly.

"Now I do not comprehend what is going to take place, but hell no do I require some bloody nights. Roberts, why don't you tell your men to bring the fucking rifles down? Simon, if you could please lower the weapon, thank you."

Cathy remarked while giving Mr. Roberts and his men the cold shoulder.

"Ok fine. Men, please no harm to this beautiful angel."

Mr. Roberts stated which made Cathy contorted her face into a score because she despised the elderly man. He had gray hair and a rough face, both of which contributed to his overall appearance of advanced age.

Cathy stood back and watched as the other men lowered their weapons before turning her attention to Simon. In response to her glare, Simon quickly lowered his weapon.

"I will take my leave but I hope you consider my offer Lucy, just one night with you, and I will give you whatever so ever you desire, be it cars, houses, a hotel, a land a property, millions of dollars."

"I will take my leave but I hope you consider my offer Lucy."

Mr. Roberts remarked while displaying a faint smile.

Cathy made a pitiful motion with her head "I am content with my life and I would never require anything from you in the future."

"If that isn't enough of a reason for you, I'm about to turn 20, and if I need a house at my age, I work it out on my own rather than sleeping with older men in order to get one. If that isn't enough of a reason for you, then this should be a good reason for you. I DO NOT REQUIRE EVEN ONE PENNY FROM YOU AT THIS TIME."

Cathy remarked, stressing each and every one of the words that she had just said.

"I know, I know, but one day, Lucy, I will have you!"

He replied.

Cathy glared at him and told him that she detested it whenever he pronounced her stage name in a condescending manner.

"I really hope you go meet your wife at home, give her some special time, and then stop stalking me," she said. "It would be much appreciated."

Cathy said, causing Mr. Roberts to be completely taken aback by her speech.

Simon was right behind her, and as she got into her car, she took a few deep breaths as she reflected on the fact that she had squandered a lot of time today and was in desperate need of some rest.

"I want to thank you for being the one who saved me tonight."

Cathy said this as she watched Simon nod his head before quickly walking away from the parking lot.

When she reached into her bag, she felt something vibrating; it turned out to be her phone.

When she looked at the screen, she couldn't help but flash a grin to herself. It turned out to be Natalie, the nurse that she had hired to assist with taking care of her mother.

"Hello Natalie...."

Cathy couldn't help but grin in response to her words. She knew that Natalie was worrying about her too much, even though she had hired Cathy to look after her mother.

"Please go to sleep, I will be back in ten minutes. Thank you for your patience."

Cathy said, she was concerned that Natalie would have to wait for her at the door until she returned because Natalie was like Cathy's second mother in that she was always there for her. Both Natalie and her mother were aware of Natalie's career as a stripper; Cathy is unable to keep anything hidden from her mother, and her mother has never disapproved of Natalie's choice to work as a stripper. Instead, Natalie's mother worries that she isn't providing enough care for her, despite Cathy's assurances that everything will be fine.

As soon as she pressed the button to end the call, she positioned her hands on the steering wheel and began the drive back home. She knew that the following day was going to be a living hell.
