Deadly Attraction

"Excuse me Mr.!" Ivan shouted as he ran towards the young man

"Ivan, let's go home!" I called to my son, chasing him before he would embarrass me further, but I was too late because he was already holding the man's hand.

Shit!

"Mr. Do you have a girlfriend?" Ivan asked and I just wanted to evaporate out of embarrassment

"Huh?" He asked laughing "you're so young, what do you know about girlfriends?"

I was a little relieved by his reaction, atleast be was taking it as a joke

"I'm not a kid anymore, mama said I'm a big boy and I'm the man of the house, that's why I'm asking you, if you already have a girlfriend." He said, as if he was talking to his age mate.

I just rubbed my forehead, because I didn't know how to stop him.

"Why do you want to know?" The man questioned out of curiosity, he should just walk away. I don't know why he's egging Ivan on.

"Because if you don't have a girlfriend then you can marry my mama so that I can have a dad." Ivan answered.

Bloody hell!

If it wasn't risky to leave your child with strangers, I would have left him there and ran home out of embarrassment

I heard the man laugh again, he was probably so shocked by what Ivan was saying

"My mom is single and she works too much, she doesn't have any time to go on dates"

"Where is your mom?" He asked

I turned around immediately, scattered my hair in front of my face to hide it a bit and pretended I didn't know my son.

Damn that boy and his big mouth!

The man might even think I made Ivan approach him.

"There she is, she's really pretty, you'll see, come let's go meet her" He shouted excitedly pulling the man towards me

It took everything in me to stay planted where I was and not run as fast as I could leaving them behind. I'm still young and fertile, I can have as many children as I want later on, since this one has decided to betray me.

"Mama, look!" he announced

I slowly turned around, still hiding my face a bit with my hair.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that he looked at me from head to toe and scoffed.

"I'm sorry kid, but your mom is not my type" He said.

"Huh? Why?"

"It's nice to meet you kid. You are so smart and handsome, fortunately you did not inherit your mother's looks, you should be really thankful for that. Have a good day madam" The man said and walked away

What!

What?

Did he just call me ugly?

Did he just call me madam?

"You son of a bitch!" I shouted after the man.

"Mom! You can't shout that" Ivan scolded

"Ivan!" I yelled in frustration.

Is he even really my son?

"What in God's name made you think you can walk up to a stranger and talk to him!" I yell at my son

" You don't just run off or approach people without my knowledge! What if something bad had happened to or if he was a bad person? How many times do I have to tell you that?" I continued scolding him when we got home

"Mom, I'm sorry! I just.. I just" He broke into tears

"What is it honey?" I squat down beside him and ask, mad at myself that I was probably too hard in on him.

"My classmates always tease me. I just want to have a daddy" he whispered through teary eyes and my heart broke for him

I was 19 years old when I got pregnant with him and that was how the judgments started. People always pointed their fingers and mocked me while I was pregnant, but I had not a single regret because I knew I would love him right from the first time I felt him in my tummy and that love turned into a talkative Ivan.

He's 6 years old and the smartest little kid I know.

"Baby, even if you don't have a dad. Mama is here, isn't she? You can make me mom and dad ", I said in an attempt to take away the sadness that he felt.

"But I want a dad. Why can't you just get me one?"

"Baby it doesn't work that way I can't just get you a dad"

"Why not!"

"Because I need to get you a good one, someone who will love you as much as I do and take care of you, don't you want that?" I asked, my voice cracking a little

He looked at me for a while and then suddenly wrapped his little hands around me. "Don't cry mama, I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you sad. I love you"

"I love you higher than the moon and the stars my love" I said as I held him tightly against my heart.

I love the simple life that we have and I don't need any man to come and complicate anything for us right now. We may not be rich but we have everything we need. The love of a mother and son.

Much later, after Ivan had had his dinner and I put him to bed, I went and got dressed for work.

I work every night at a famous club.

No, I am not a stripper or an escort I'm just a waitress.

I only need to apply proper makeup and put on the right seductive dress so that I can make maximum tips from men while I wait their tables

I put on my contact lens, curled up my hair in my signature style and applied make-up before putting on my tight fitting dress which allowed little room for breathing as it hugged my big breasts and pushed up my cleavage, revealing it in the V neck dress I wore.

Before leaving the house, I went to Ivan's room and kissed his forehead while he was asleep.

He is the main reason why I do what I do.

I took a deep breath before heading to the club.

This is it!

Fingers crossed there will be lots of customers tonight. I heard a lot of rich men will be coming in tonight, hopefully I'll be lucky enough to wait at one of their tables. I need all the money I can get because I am in a lot of debt.

"Hurry up Dani! You are assigned to Mr. Logan's table. You need to be at your best behavior. That man right there is a big shot. He's the CEO so be friendly. " Celine said to me.

"All right. I'll take care of it." I smiled in response.

She pointed to the place where the young man she was referring to was seated and I immediately made my way there.

"Good evening Sir. This is the bottle of wine you ordered." I said softly to him and put down the drink.

Gradually, he lifted his head which was bent over his phone and my eyes narrowed in shock and anger as I saw him.

"Fuck! Just my luck!" I muttered under my breath.

Dani's POV

Of all the many people that came in here this night, why did I have to be assigned to him?

Sitting in front of me is the man from earlier.

The man who called me ugly

I'm not picky, but it If I were to hate anyone, it would be him without a doubt

I just don't like this guy's attitude! And I definitely do not like his tongue.

"Don't just stand there, you can come and sit beside me baby" He purred, seductively tapping the chair next to him as if he didn't know me.

And then it struck me. Of course he doesn't recognize me, I look different. I'm wearing thick makeup which covers my innocent face and my clothing is far different from how I was dressed earlier.

This is good. This is very good

Two can play that game.

I sat down next to him planting a seductive smile on my lips.

"I came to this place for the first time today and I must say I'm impressed with the beautiful sights." He said, looking at my body from down to up, his eyes lingering on my breasts. "It's nice to meet you miss...? He smiled, waiting for me to introduce myself.

"You go first" I urged

"Uh, okay. I'm Logan"

"It's nice to meet you Logan" I breathed biting my lip as I tossed my hair to the side, exposing my bare shoulder.

I know this is the weakness of men.

"Shit. You look so perfect." He was staring at my neck with obvious lust

"What's your name?" He asked me still not tearing his gaze his gaze from my collar bone.

"I'm Dani". I answered simply

"But you can call me, whatever you want." I purred, edging closer to his seat

To my surprise he quickly dragged his chair closer to mine and brought his face closer.

"I don't know about you, but I want to get to know you better, Ms. Dani." He whispered softly into my ears sending light tingles down my spine.

His breath is very fragrant, it could intoxicate literally anyone.

I looked up into his icy blue eyes darkened with depths of desire and almost got lost in them,

NO. A big NO.

I shouldn't have looked into those captivating eyes of his.

He should be the one attracted to me and not the other way around.

I mentally shake my head, getting rid of all the nonsense thoughts and replied still smiling "I feel the same way too."

"Great then! Let's do one night stand." He whispered into my ear and I immediately shot up from the seat next to him, getting away from him.

"What? Do you have a problem with that?" He asked with surprise registered in his face as if he was wondering why I reacted the way I did

"I'm sorry. But I don't do that" I responded as politely as I could despite my rising anger.

I was only trying to flirt with him so I could get a higher tip, what does he think I am?

He laughed and I stared hard at him

"I don't believe you. You work in a club, it's practically impossible that you don't have experience when it comes to bed here." He said still laughing and I just wanted to smack the laughter out of his mouth.

I could feel my blood boil and my rage rising to a dangerous level.

"Mr. Logan, I would appreciate it if you differentiate me from the women here. Yes, I work here to earn a honest income, but it doesn't mean you can get whatever you want from me and it definitely doesn't give you the right to talk to me anyhow you fucking please". I hissed at him with raised eyebrows.

I bent down and pulled his tie, bringing his face close to mine, our lips were just inches apart.

"And next time, if you're going to make such ridiculous proposals make sure the person you're talking to is at least attracted to you. Arrogant bastard!"

I let go of his shirt and stormed off, leaving him astounded.
