Chapter 2 my first and only boyfriend

Chapter 2

It's been a few nights since I last saw him. I just continued with my life. It's better that our paths don't cross again, because if we meet again, I might not be able to stop myself from hugging him.

"V, V!" Mamu entered our dressing room and was looking for me.

"I'm here mom! Am I set yet?" I asked when I got close to him.

"V, we have a big vip today, he requested you, vip room 2" I was nervous at mamu's order because it might be a bad customer again.

"Don't worry, he knows your policy. And he says he will pay triple so get ready. Don't wait and we might lose customers." When I calm down.

I prayed as I finished curling my long hair. I put on my mask and robe before leaving the dressing room and heading to vip room 2.

I knocked first and turned the door knob.

In the middle of the wide room, my only customer this evening was in the middle of the big sofa, in front of him was a bottle of the most expensive wine here at the bar, two glasses and a bucket of ice. It was my first time to experience that there was only one person occupying the vip room. This person must be really rich, so I have to try hard to give a big tip.

He was bent over and wearing a hat so I couldn't see his face but his body was big, his muscles were showing in his fitted t-shirt. In his posture, he looks like he is my age.

I danced to the music and gradually approached him. I looked at the big table in front of him. When he looked up at me, I was surprised. His gray and bright eyes. I closed my eyes and tried to fight the excitement when I looked at him again. I tried to continue dancing. He can't recognize me. May he not recognize me.

Apart from the mask that covers half of my face, my lips are also red and the rest of my face is full of lipstick.

I continued to dance while he watched me intently and drank wine. I couldn't help but look at her red and thin lips. It seems like a story flows through my whole body every time my eyes fall on him. I just avoid looking into his eyes, I'm afraid he'll recognize me.

A few moments later, he pulled me to his side. He gave me a glass of wine and I accepted it.

"I just need a companion now" he said and drank the remaining wine in his glass. He filtered it again.

I, on the other hand, reduced the wine he gave me little by little.

We were both silent while he continued to drink. I can't deny that my heart was beating fast, and I was really stoned to sit.

He looked at me and seemed to be examining me. After he almost finished a bottle of wine, he grabbed something from his purse. He gave me one thousand pesos each.

"That's your tip. After your glass of rum, you may leave." He ordered me so I immediately drained the contents of my glass.

"Thank you sir." I stood up and when I walked away, he spoke.

"What happened to you Lavender?" he said politely as if mixed with anger. I stiffened in his direction. My legs seem heavy and I can't move.

I just bowed down, holding back my tears and softening my knees.

I took a deep breath and pulled out my strength. I could feel his approach so I braced myself, moved my leg and ran quickly out of the VIP room.

"I can't" he only said when I entered the dressing room and went to the restroom.

After that night, I didn't go to work for two days. I just said that I was sick so they wouldn't ask anymore.

I closed my eyes as I remembered his face. A lot has changed in him physically, even his voice is masculine. She looks like a model in a magazine.

He is Lucas de Vera, my first and only boyfriend. When my father was still alive, he had a small business that he was running, so he was able to send me to a private and good school that is well-known in our town. I remembered, I was in the first year of high school then, while Lucas was in the 3rd year of high school. He is president of the student council, while I am just a simple student. We met once and our adviser ordered me to give something to the student council office. Since then he courted me and after a few months I answered him. I also introduced him to my parents. Our whole relationship is full of his respect for me. He also teaches me other subjects that I struggle with. We were happy together, until he finished school. He said they will migrate to America and he will study college there. Even though it hurts, I'm not in a position to stop him, it's also for him. The last moment we spent in a park during the day was full of promises. When he left, we still had communication, until my father died and lost everything he had built. I lost my hope to talk to Lucas again. I only hope for fate when we meet again.

To this day, my chest is still tight at the thought that we met, and he still recognized me. I'm so nervous and scared that we'll see each other again after that. Especially in my work, in my form.

"Do you still feel bad sister?" Jasper approached me and handed me a glass of milk.

"Uhm.. I'm fine. Thank you. I'll come in later" I answered him.

"Sorry sister. You have to work for me, for my treatment. I promise you when I get home, I will get back to you. I will work, so that you can get married." I was surprised by what he said.

"Jasper, I'm ok as long as you're ok. Don't worry sister, I can do it, and it's normal for people to feel bad sometimes. What's important to me is that I'm with you." I answered him and hugged him.

I remember that his doctor again suggested that he be admitted to a hospital with complete facilities to better focus on his condition. I also want him to continue his home schooling. I'm afraid to let him go to a normal school because I know his body is too weak. His home teacher said that Jasper is smart, and there is no denying that. He will finish elementary school, next he will go to high school. He wants to go to school and experience socializing, but I'm more afraid of what might happen, or his illness might get worse.

That night I just waited for Aling Bethy to watch over Jasper before I went back to work.

When I got to the bar, I went straight to mamu to report. He asked me if I'm ok, I said I can work now.

In the middle of the night after my set, I rested at the counter when Zsazsa, our bartender here, suddenly spoke.

"Hey guys! I heard that your vip customer is yummy!" _Zsazsa

"Oh! Maybe that's why you took a leave because you gave up the boy, right?" Cha has just arrived.

"Is it big?"

"Delicious?"

"Is it good?"

They asked questions one after the other that made my cheeks red.

"You idiots! You two stop. There's nothing like that. I just went with the person to drink and then they kicked me out." I tried to calm myself because they reminded me of that night.

"Thank you, you still refused." Zsazsa continued.

If only they knew.

The night ended quickly. Katty came to me while I was removing my make up and also stood in my mirror to remove her make up.

"Are you free on Sunday gorl?" he asked me.

"I have a racket, maybe you want to come along. Don't tell the others because it's already out of the bar, don't worry, just dance. Let's go home together later if you're interested." he added.

"Oh why did that Katty come to you?" Cha approached when Katty was already far away.

"Oh nothing. Just borrowing something" I answered.

Until I finished I thought about Katty's offer, I need a large amount now to get Jasper into the hospital again. I said goodbye to Cha that I will go home first. Outside, I saw Katty whispering while chewing gum. He also saw me so he approached me.

"What have you thought about? We have a big tf here. I'm with my acquaintance at the other bar, so only the three of us will share. No one else will ask for a commission." its beginning.

"He should have been his colleague at work with us, but I heard you need a lot of money right now so I forced him." He added.

"Uhmm.. you can do it.."

"Oh, if you don't want to gorl, don't. I'm not forcing you. We still have 35 kyaws to share. That's a big time ! Wow!" cutting off what I was going to say.

P35,000 is a big amount to me, so I chased Kosya as he walked.

"Alright, I'll go." I chase after him.

"K. You've got a lot of art to help me with. So for the second time, I'll just give you what to wear and the venue. Alright, I'll go first" and he finally left me.

Friday night after my set Katty came up to me, she handed me a paper bag. Maybe this is what I'll wear.

"Be there at 8 pm sharp. Get ready because the client wants you to be prepared when he gets there." He said to me while thinking.

I coughed because of the smoke before answering.

"Me? Just me?" I was very surprised and surprised at what he said.

"I mean, of course we are. There's a call time. We'll meet there. Don't be late and you're an Indian! You'll be lost too." he answered me and left.

Katty and I's racket day has arrived. I apologized to mamu for not coming in first and she agreed. It was already 5 o'clock when I arranged the things that I would bring in a small luggage. I took a shower and just wore an oversized t-shirt and shorts. At 7 o'clock I said goodbye to Jasper and Bethy and left. I waited for a taxi and told the address of said condominium building.

After getting off, I went straight to the lobby to contact Katty, but she didn't answer her phone. I was nervous that I might be late but it was 7:45 on my watch. I remembered the unit number he gave me so I went straight to the reception and asked. He dialed something on the phone and talked to the other line.

"Go up ma'am, 8th floor then turn right. This is the spare card key." when he handed me a card, and I just thanked him before walking to the elevator.

I feel a little nervous, maybe because I haven't contacted Katty yet. I just thought that maybe he and his partner were ahead of me.

When I got to the unit itself, I inserted the card key and it opened automatically. Upon entering, I called their name Katty but no one answered. I looked around the entire unit, it was huge. It's 10x the size of our rented apartment. I looked for an open door, the first one I came across was cr. Very beautiful and very big too. I went upstairs, because Katty said that once I get in, I go to the 2nd floor and look for an open door. We will fix it there. When I found the room he mentioned I put my luggage on the big bed and started putting on lipstick, I put on my costume for that night. It's a red sexy dress. When I finished, I stopped calling and texting Katty. The last time I called, he answered it, right at 8 in the evening.

"Hello. I was here a while ago. Where are you?" I asked.

"I'm here downstairs. It was too early for me to let you go, I forgot you're an early bird. Just don't leave the room, we're going upstairs." His last words before hanging up.

I just waited inside the room. After a while I heard the door open. Maybe it was Katty, I just stayed sitting on the bed and waited for the door to open. There was a knock three times so I put on my robe and stood up to open it. I saw a woman who I estimated was in her 40s. I was hesitant to open the door until he spoke.

Are you Violet? Young master is waiting for you in the penthouse. Just leave your things there and follow me.

First I took a deep breath to clear my mind of wonder. Before leaving the room, I asked him if my colleagues were there but he didn't say a word. He didn't seem to hear what I was saying.

Instead of being curious or asking questions, I just followed the woman. We left the unit and went to an elevator that was alone in that corner. I'm nervous about what's happening to me. I was restless, even though I left my cellphone, the woman also took the keycard that was handed to me earlier at the reception. The only thing I carry is myself. I just thought that Katty might be there, to somehow reduce my thoughts.

We reached the top floor. When the elevator opens, there is a hallway and at the end there is only one door on that floor. The woman pressed something next to the big door and spoke.

"Young master we are here" the door opened automatically and the girl and I entered. The whole place is quite dark, there are only a few parts lit by dim light. He made me sit on a big sofa and left. I didn't even look where he was going because I was in awe of what I was seeing.

I didn't notice that someone was already approaching me.

"Last time you didn't bother to answer me."

I was terrified when I heard and recognized his voice. I froze in my seat.

"What happened to you, Lavender?" his tone was soft but emphatic.

I just bowed when he came in front of me. I tried to stand up and run outside but he immediately grabbed me.

"Answer me. Why are you selling yourself now?" his tone now is full of disgust, or anger.

I can't find the words to answer him. I seem to shrink from myself. I stopped my tears from falling. He turned my face to him, I stared at him for a moment but I immediately took it back when I saw the anger in his eyes.

"How many men have touched you? How many men have you made happy?" I was surprised by what he said so I immediately slapped him. I remained silent, as I expected he would look at me like that.

He let go of me and I walked away until he spoke again which I stopped.

"I paid P100,000 for this night, and this is what I just received? It's likely that others give you coins just to make them happy, why did you give me sick?" I stopped and was surprised by what he said. Shaking, I looked at him.

"Is it still not enough? 1 million! I will rent your night to satisfy me. You don't look that much for that price, but they say you are lined up so I'll bet that kind of amount." he underestimated me. I still haven't answered. I'm having second thoughts.

"Your dear p**p*k! Hahahahaha! Ok then, 3 million! Make sure you'll do everything to pleasure me for this night." I was smaller, and I was surprised at his pricing on me. I thought that if I accept his offer, he will look at me less, but on the other hand, where am I going to earn 3 million pesos? I can have Jasper's surgery now. That amount is enough to extend the life of my single family and we can spend more time together. Even though I was confused, I made a decision.

"What do you want me to do?" I also want to devote myself to him.
