Object of Desire [Editing]

Chapter 18

I scoffed, "Thanks. Now what?"

"I can take it from here." A girl behind the bar said who I assumed was Natalia.

The girl was gorgeous. Her outfit accentuated her long legs and curves and her eyes were tight like she was mixed with Asian.

"I'm Remy." I said, coming behind the counter with her.

"Yeah. Natalia. We don't have too much time before opening so I'll teach you the basics."

Her country accent was strong as she showed me how to make favorites of the men that came into the club.

Before long it was opening time and I was suddenly nervous.

The club filled up fast and I was extremely busy since all the guys wanted to take a look at the new girl.

"Remy?" A familiar voice was heard and I froze.

I slowly turned to see Aug's brother, Ash, "Hi, Ashton. Fancy seeing you here."

He looked at me like I was crazy, "Since when ya work hea?"

I moved closer to him, "Please don't tell Aug. He'll lose his fucking mind when I'm only doing this for us."

"What ya mean?"

I sucked my teeth, "Ever since he got shot, he can't work. Money real tight so I started working this as a second job to keep things going."

"If ya needed money why you ain't ask me?"

I looked at him, "You know how he is, Ash. He don't like handouts he like doing everything for himself and wants everybody else to sit and watch. This is why I snuck and got this job."

He was quiet for a while.

"Ight man, I won't tell."

I smiled at him, "Thank you, Ash."

Somebody called my name and I ran to serve more drinks.

It was well into the morning before I was finally done and after one day the tips were crazy good.

I'd made almost a hundred dollars in just tips alone so I was in a good mood as I walked into the house.

Dayvid was asleep on the couch and I tapped him awake.

"Did you make the money or did you let the money make you?" He said as soon as he opened his eyes.

I laughed quietly, "I made the money. Here," I went to give him money but he rejected it, making me hug him.

"I'll see you tomorrow, love." He said before gathering his things and leaving.

I crept upstairs to the bedroom and saw August was asleep as well with the tv as loud as could be.

I turned it down before making my way to the bathroom to shower and when I came back out he was sitting up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Hi, babe." I said, wrapping the towel around my chest and moving closer to him.
