Chapter 2 The job

Annabella jerked from her sleep when she heard a banging sound. She sprang up from the couch and her mind was relieved a bit when she saw lady Ama smiling in front of her.

"What was that?" She asked, taking fast breaths to fully calm herself down.

Lady Ama pulled her into a hug and that made her perplexed.

"You're so amazing!"

Annabella pulled out of the hug, her brows raised in confusion. "What is going on? Why are you so happy?" She questioned.

"This is a lifetime opportunity!" Lady Ama replied. She dragged Annabella to the couch and they both sat on it.

She switched on her phone and gave it to her.

Pink immediately collected the phone, she was damn curious. Her eyes moved on it and her mouth went agape when she saw a credit alert of ten thousand dollars.

"Wow! Did you win by betting?" She was aware of how lady Ama loved betting and on seeing that huge amount of money she thought lady Ama had won it from betting.

"No, idiot! Someone sent this to me, in return you meet him up in West view hotel" Lady Ama informed, smiling sheepishly.

A frown appeared on Pink's face. She dropped the phone on the other side of the couch and looked away from lady Ama. "I am not interested." She replied calmly.

Lady Ama's jaw dropped immediately. "You don't mean it." She said.

"I do... You should know by now that I don't do those stuff, I'm only a stripper. A stripper!" Annabella laid emphasis on the word 'stripper', reminding lady Ama of what her job was.

Lady Ama sighed in frustration. "Please, it's just for one night! Only one night! Please... This is ten thousand dollars, it is going to help you in many ways!" She convinced.

Pink shook her head, declining the offer, but deep down she was considering it. The money would be enough for her to renew her rent. It would definitely go a long way.

When she didn't say anything, lady Ama sighed sadly. "It's fine if you don't want to do it, I'll return the money and..." She was still saying when Annabella interrupted her.

"Don't!" Anna half yelled.

Lady Ama raised her brows. "You are Mysterious, Pink. You declined the offer, and now you are telling me not to refund him?" She asked in bemusement.

"I accept. I'll go to wind view hotel and do what is expected of me." Anna stated.

A smile crept on lady Ama's face. She knew Annabella wouldn't be able to decline the offer and that was why she took the money from the guy without talking to her first, because either way, Anna would definitely accept the offer.

"Fabulous! Now you are talking" She grinned. "You know I'll have my percentage, right?"

"How much do you plan to take from the money?" Anna asked, having mixed feelings about the whole thing.

"I'll take just two thousand dollars from it. You're the one he's gonna fuck, not me" Lady Ama stated blankly.

Anna frowned, she didn't like that Ama was raw with her words. It somehow made her feel strange, she felt like a prostitute. But wasn't it true? She was about to sell her body. Was there any difference between her and a prostitute? Absolutely no!

"Two thousand dollars is much. Like you said, I'm the one he's gonna..." She paused, she couldn't bring herself to say the word.

"Oh really? Do you realize he met you in my club?... Do not argue further, be a good girl" Lady Ama patted the wig on Anna's hair.

Anna didn't say anything, she only nodded.

"Then why are you still here? Get fully clothed and be on your way to wind view hotel" Lady Ama urged.

"What's his room number?" Annabella asked, getting ready to leave.

*******

Annabella clutched her bag tightly to herself as she walked in the hotel hallway.

She was feeling so nervous and was having second thought about the whole thing. It wasn't as if she hadn't had sex before, but it wasn't for money, she did it for the pleasure and ecstacy.

As she walked, her eyes moved around the room numbers, she was searching for room 102.

Her steps came to a halt when she finally spotted it. She took a deep breath and preceded to knock on the door. There was no reply, so she knocked again, but still no reply.

She was beginning to loose so much strength from standing. Her head was still aching badly.

A frown appeared on her face and she looked around to see if anyone was coming. When she saw there was no one in sight, she sat down on the floor.

Her phone began ringing inside her bag and she took it out. She stared at the name of the caller and her heart skipped a bit.

Without wasting time, she answered the call and placed the phone on her ear.

"Annabella! It's past eleven, why aren't you home yet?" The feminine voice asked through the phone.

"Don't worry about me. Our restaurant didn't close on time today, it will be risky for me to come home this late, I'm spending the night with my colleagues." She lied.

"Oh... Why didn't you call to inform us? You got us worried!" The voice questioned again.

"I'm sorry, I'll be home first thing tomorrow morning." Anna replied.

"Alright! Good night" The girl said.

Annabella hung up. She was already tired of talking. She returned the phone to the bag and leaned on the wall.

"Help me Lord", She prayed silently.

The door creaked open, and she sprang up from the floor.

Surprisingly, it was a young lady that came out of the room. She was dressed in a red sleeveless gown that stopped after her ass.

The lady was busy trying to tie up her messy hair but stopped immediately she saw Annabella.

"Who are you?" She asked, chewing the gum in her mouth loudly.

"Who are you?" Annabella questioned back, folding her arms.

The lady stared at her from her head to her toes and then let out a scoff. "I asked you first. What are you doing loitering about? And why are your legs shaking, Is this the first time you are putting on heels?" She laughed at her own words.

Annabella didn't find it funny. She moved her gaze to her legs and that was when she noticed they were really shaking. 'I really need to go to the hospital after this' She thought.

"I'm looking for someone. A guy." She didn't feel the need to reply the girl but she had to.

"I guess you are the second bitch he called." The lady rolled her eyes.

"Stop generalizing it. That you are a bitch doesn't mean someone else is also one." She eyed the lady.

The door opened widely and Tyler stepped out of the room. He was only putting on trousers, his bare chest was exposed.

She swallowed hard as she stared at him. He was one hell of an attractive person.

His blue eyes which were hovering over her, his chiseled jaw, his pointed nose, his pink lips and to crown it all his long dread which fell down to his face. He looked like a Rockstar.

Annabella was brought out of her trance when he snapped his fingers in front of her eyes.

"Oh Sorry" She blurted.

She looked beside her and that was when she noticed the other lady wasn't there anymore. The lady must have left when she was busy staring at him.

"You're Pink, right?" Tyler recognized her from her hair and her makeup.

"Yes" She replied quickly, maybe too fast.

Tyler stared at her, and she lowered her eyes to the floor, she didn't want to make eye contact with him.

"Taking a close look, I noticed you aren't that pretty" He said.

Annabella chuckled, she raised her head and stared directly at his eyes. "Maybe pink the stripper isn't pretty..." She took few steps closer to him, covering the space between them.

There was barely any space between them.

"But have you seen the other me?" She asked, biting her lower lip seductively.

A smile crept onto Tyler's face. He moved away from her, entering into the room in the process.

Annabella also entered the room, and she shut the door behind her.

"What is it going to take for me to see you?" Tyler asked, now moving closer to her.

She moved backward at every step he took towards her, until she couldn't move again. Her back hit the door and she bit her lower lip.

"You can buy Pink's services with money, but not the other me." She told him, gently pushing him away from her front.

She moved away from him and threw her bag on the bed.

"Let's get down to business." She announced.

"Name your price, what is it going to take for me to see your real face? I really want to know if you're just bragging or you are really pretty." He insisted, and Anna chuckled.

"Like I said earlier, I..." She paused when the headache hit her again. She held her head and staggered back.

Tyler noticed that and he moved closer to her. "Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine... I just need to..." She didn't finish her statement before she fell to the floor and lost consciousness.
