His Old bestfriend

Chapter 1

Alexandra's POV~

There I am 22 year old Alexandra Queen , Working behind a counter trying to entertain these thirsty men .

As you probably guess I work in a gentlemen night club but not a dirty one if your wonderful. All we do is have a few drinks , chitchat and entertain the customers nothing else.

Although some may try to pay us extra to go home with them or other stuff  , Which I always decline. And yes I'm still a virgin if your wondering.

Out of all the jobs your probably thinking why this one but life is difficult and it's the only job for someone that didn't even finish college. 
Not because I'm lazy nor a time  waster let's just say someone left me unexpected and made my whole world crumble to pieces. 

The day she left all my happiness disappeared too,
She was my everything and she still is .

My mother , she was in a car accident that ended her life immediately which resulted in me having depression , stop socializing and self harm.
Those days were the hardest, because she was all I had and to see her go like that ended me . Don't wanna go into much details but I've tried committing suc*de,
Drop out of college and left home.

This resulted in  me having to be one my own because life gets worse and worse but I'll try not to give up . 

life goes on and it doesn't wait on no one. That was my motivation.

" did you hear me ".

I quickly snapped out of my thoughts analyzing my surroundings, realizing I'm still at work . "Sorry about that can you repeat?" I asked the gentlemen seated in front of me .

"I was say would you like another drink"? He questioned smirking, looking me up and down .
"No thank you, " I declined but he took my hand in his rubbing small circles on my palms .

"How about we go to my place then ?", ~men~ . I didn't answer I just look up to clock praying for it to touch 12.

And it did I pulled my hands away and sat up " sorry but my shift is over " then I walked away .
I gathered my stuff and and waiting for my co-worker , Jenny to drop me home.

~

"thanks Jen " , I said existing the car .
"no problem hun see you Tomorrow ",
with small smile smile i left and she drove of .

I walked to small shared apartment and entered inside. It was quite and a little dark . I placed my keys  and my belongings down.

Removing the heels from my aching feet while walking to our room , by our I mean my roommate , Kaitlyn. 

she's a single mother at age 21 , also a drop out because she ran away from her abusive boyfriend and she also works at the club.

I met Kaitlyn after I left home and moved to New York city trying to get my life together. I tried searching for a job  but was unsuccessful .The first night I slept on the cold dark streets praying that god guide and Protect me and thankfully he did .

The next day I stumbled upon a women's shelter and they took me in. All the other lady's give me dirty looks the moment i walked in.

some of them looked like drug addicts which made me scared but I held my bag tightly a couch next to lady . I guessed she was either younger or the same age I was .

She was breast feeding her crying child while the others shouted in anger at the the baby for crying loudly , only making the problem worse. I could she was struggling with this so I slowly turn to her and tapped her arm gently.  " may I hold her " I asked politely but she gave me disgusted look . Who blames her , imagine a stranger walking up to you wanting to hold her child.

" trust me I won't hurt her , I'm familiar with this" I told her .

She looked at me hesitantly before slowly handing me the crying child . My mother was a midwife so after work she would teach me things about what she does which includes calming down a baby.

After a few rocking and gently patting the baby's back, her child was silently sleeping.

She looked at me amazed before she said ,
" thank you so much ", but before I could answer she pulled me into a gentle hug while carefully not waking the baby .

"No problem , my name is Alexandra by the way ".I commented while handing the child over. "Kaitlyn and this is Iris , nice to meet you". And that's where our friendship began . About 2 days after we started looking for jobs because the others some what grow jealous of us and took over clothing , food and cash.

Together we stumbled upon the club , and made an agreement to have different shifts to take care of Iris .

we stayed at the shelter  until we enough money to rent a small one bed room
apartment .
Which leads us to the present now , and Iris is 3 years old now.

" hey you up " I said while removing my clothes heading to the bathroom,
" yea you just wake me up" she replied.
I look over to see Iris sleeping silently,  she's such a beautiful girl I thought as I close the bathroom door and took a shower then came out .

-

I stepped out to see Kaitlyn back asleep while holding Iris In her arms.

I kissed Iris on her forehead then went to bed .
