"They say money buys you happiness, but there's always something missing."

Emily POV:

"Do you have any other dreams or goals other than being a stripper?" I looked at him in shock

We are seated on the couch now, dinner was good, to say the least, we learned more about each other and now I feel like we're getting too personal; But my mouth had a mind of its own.

"I don't know, I guess I never really thought of that, stripping has become a part of me. I don't think I could ever let it go fully, that club has become my home away from home it helps me disappear from my reality I guess you could say."

"If I ever do stop stripping, I would want to be one of those hosts that talk about certain things on their show like anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, etc, Lorenzo matches," I said as I took another sip of my wine

"Do you want kids?" I asked him

He glanced at me and looked away "I think I have a kid I don't know."

"You think?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow at him

"There was this girl I was in a relationship ship with a couple of years ago it was going good but one day she started crying and said that she was pregnant but lost the baby-"

"It all seemed so weird to me because I'm sure she couldn't have lost it that fast, she started yelling saying it was my fault and that we were done."

"I was in shock I didn't know what to do and she just left haven't heard from her since." He said as he turned to look at me

"I-."

"Don't say sorry it's not your problem." He cut me off

"I wasn't gonna say sorry asshole because it isn't my problem. I was gonna say that I think you should reach out and find out if you have a kid." I said as I got up and grabbed my bag

"Where are you going?" He asks me as he follows me to the door

"Home because unlike you Mr.Sanchez I don't own a job, I work one," I said as I turned to look at him

"I know I know sad I could cry thinking about it," I said as I feigned a puppy dog face

I turned around as I walked out the door I looked over my shoulder at him.

"Goodnight Mr.Sanchez."

(inserts very short time skip)

Walking into my house I see my dad still sitting on the couch like he was when I left.

"Come sit." He said as he patted the space next to him

"We have been down on cash and-."

"What happened to all that money I gave you guys?" I said as I cut him off and turn my body fully towards him

"it all went to your mom's treatment and her funeral." He says

"You're getting married."
