Chapter 13

The customers came early as the operations inside the club start to flow to serve everyone. For today's list, I have no performance on the stage but I could still get my clients or if they wanted us, we're just here to serve them what they want. But for tonight, I'll just accompany everyone who's alone or just the guy who roams around the premises. Or maybe the guy who's spying to get his mission done.

"Hey!" A guy from the round table calls me by clicking his fingers. I immediately went to his space to get what he wants. "We need a private room," he demanded.

"Sure, I can arrange that sir. I'll be back in a minute," I told to him in which does not appear gracious to his ears.

"I want it now," he ordered. The men around him slowly drawn out their guns from their pockets. I step backward because I wasn't prepared to defend myself in this type of environment and wearing a ridiculous costume. "Do it, or they will do what they have to do."

"Okay, okay," I said, putting my hands up trying not to be against in their will. "You can come with me, I'll lead you straight to the private room and you don't have to hurt me."

"We won't, just give us what we need."

"Okay, follow me," I said calmly, trying not ton freaked out. This is wasn't what I expected to have around in this bar but who am I to rule it out, this was heavily guarded just as the police thought that this was normal, hanging out bar but it doesn't. It had walls, deeper grounds of bad shits. And I can't deal with those people, they can't mess up my way out of this hell.

As they stood up and made them follow me to lead them to the private room, nakasalubong ko pa ang ilan sa mga ka-trabaho at umiiwas na rin sila sa daraanan namin. They must know who they are and I wish I never encounter them today.

Nang marating namin ang mga private rooms, binuksan ko naman sa kanila ang isang pinto at isa-isa naman silang pumasok doon. I'm holding my breath and I couldn't look them in the eyes, they could shoot me if I did.

"This is perfect," the must-be-the-leader remarks, "Hey, give us some girls and also tell them to bring alcohol."

"Sure sir," I nodded frantically, "is there anything you need sir?"

"Do you want to join us?"

"No sir," umiling naman ako. "I'm just a crew here."

"Yeah, I know that so fuck off—get our ladies and drinks!" he shouted as I immediately leave their private room.

Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag ng makalayo ako doon at saka ako sinalubong ni MD.

"Who did you bring into the private room, Dicky? Sinabi ko naman sa'yo na kailangan mo munang ilapit sa akin bago mo silang dalhin doon."

"I know that MD, but they had a gun and I just have to obey their demands. I could die if I don't."

"They're here again..." MD whispers.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Mabilis naman siyang umiling sa akin, "Wala, 'wag mo nang alalahanin 'yon. They're already in the private room at they can take it all the time they have."

"Okay... but they need some girls and drinks." And when I said that, MD wouldn't look into my eyes.

"Sure, I'll just arrange that," he said and tapped my shoulder. "Go back to work, the night's getting deep. You don't wanna miss what you missed last night." He said and immediately left me heading to pick up some girls for that group.

Napailing na lang din naman ako dahil wala akong idea o kung meron ba dapat akong ikabahala. But maybe MD was right, I just need to get off my shoulders at ako lang ang nakitang crew na malapit. But I couldn't be threatened by that again, kaya kong gawin 'yon but not in my kind of situation.

Wala ako. Walang wala.

Habang nag-iikot ako para alukin ang ibang customers, hindi sa kalayuan ay nakita ko na ang mga babaeng pinadala ni MD sa grupong iyon. Kasama roon si Lilac, may hawak rin itong isang bote ng mamahaling brand ng alak. This group must be something to this place because if they are just normal clients, MD wouldn't freak out like that.

While night's getting deeper, I tend to lose my focus on what's happening around. I sometimes spaced out from a little conversation and I tried to act as nothing happened but I'm just out of the wave right now if this day started by knowing that I could have a happy family that turns out to be bad when miserable things happened. There's still might worst to come and I can still grope to it. Maybe not.

The performance on the stage started but I couldn't see the familiar faces. No Blake and Natasha, they were the stars of this club but maybe they already have something to do tonight and for Natasha, I got still got to do what she said.

When Natasha pops in front of me, she looks me in the eyes, giving her smoldering expression. "It's time, new kid. Meet her in the private room—she's in the last room."

"She?"

"Why? Are you gay?"

"I'm not."

She smirks, "whatever, get your ass there and our deal is good."

"Okay, but if you fail me to give the real address Natasha, you'll know what I can do to you."

"Oh, I'm ready for it, boy." She laughs, "now, get your ass out of here." she ordered.

I immediately go to the private room she's talking about, if this proposal could mean something she doesn't want to lose, why would she give it to the new kid. I don't understand why she needs me for this, she could have done this for herself—tho girl to girl is kinda hot.

When I reached the last room, I knocked on the door as the person inside instantly answered me. "Come on in," she said and I did.

It's dimmed, but neon lights are giving me the sight to roam my eyes around. Not that long when she comes out of the bathroom, she's wearing a nightgown and I couldn't see her face because it's too dark around here.

"Are you the one?"

"Maybe, maybe not," I smirked.

"You showed up, maybe you are."

"Whatever," I said. "Now, tell me what do you want me to do."

"Just like what I wanted, pleasure me..." I could hear her breath lingering, I shivered and I don't know what that means, but I know what she's only referring to. "Come on," she commanded and I could only was to gulped hard trying not to freak out. Damn, I surely expect this kind of work here but I never thought I would be in this position soon, Natasha really put me in this situation. "Why are you shy? I never had anyone shy of himself, you're the first one... what are you hiding there, mister? 'Cause I'm gonna show you mine." She said that she slips her nightgown that smoothly runs down her skin, she was only left with her brassiere and thong.

But if this is how it's gonna happen, I may have a choice not to do it but I don't wanna screw it up. I can't, not now.

"You know what, I'll make you what you need to do." She said and immediately comes to me, grabs my arms and push me into the bed. I was laying on my back and she's in front of me, I could clearly see her face. I don't know her but maybe she's a loyal customer but I don't care about that. This has no string, it has no attachments. She holds my feet, her hands were cold. "Don't be afraid of me... I just needed this..."

She started to crawl on me, taking off my clothes and leaving me with my underwear. I'm trying not to obey her but I can't handle myself. She grabs my crotch and she giggles upon feeling it.

"You're already hard, can I have a taste? Don't worry I already paid for the service." She smirks.

Her hands travel all over my body, she even licks my abs, caressed my muscles and the only thing I'm avoiding her was kissing me on my lips. When she couldn't have it, she kisses my neck all the way down into the trail down under. Upon pulling off my underwear, someone opens up the door in which both of us were struck in surprise. I instantly pull up my underwear and stand up.

"What the fuck?" the girl scolded the person who barged in. "We're in the middle of something, can't you see that?"

"I do," he answered and I knew who was that.

"B-Blake?"

"You're just the new kid, Dicky but you already step the line here."

"What do you mean?" I asked, I don't know what he means, I'm confused about his blind accusations.

He smirks, "she's my client and you don't get to stole mine. What's for Blake—is only for Blake."

"No, no, you don't understand. I can explain."

"What the hell's happening here? Can anyone explain it to me before I went out being horny!"

Blake walks to me and grabs my hand as he pulled me out of the room. I'm still on my underwear and what's down there were still on salute. "I'll be back on you, I'll just to talk to this man."

When we get out of the room, he let go of me and his eyes are like a dagger. It could kill me.

"Like what I just said, you don't get to steal what I have and make it like it was yours."

I put my hands up in the air, "look, this is messed up. Honestly, I shouldn't be here but she told me to go here and take this girl. I don't want it and you can have her and promise, I don't want to steal what you have. I'm not a thief."

"But who told you to go to her?"

"I can't disclose her name but promise I didn't mean to do that on you, if she was yours you can take her."

He smirks, "we could be best of friends you know, just don't stop the line, little Dicky."

"I know where I supposed to be and I'm not stealing anyone else."

"Cool," he patted my shoulder.

"We're good?"

"For now," he answered. And before I leave, he called me again. "You need to take care of that," he said looking into my underwear and he just laughs going back inside the room.

I just shook my head to what happened. I took a deep breath and slowly ease the tension in my body. When I'm already feeling better, I get out of the place and headed back to the entertainment area. As soon as I found Natasha, I went to her and grabbed her arms. I took her to the corner as she couldn't wiggle my arms away.

"You think you can screw me up, huh?"

She laughs, "well, you needed something and I just want to see you screw up and mess with Blake."

"Well, you failed to do so," I smirked and she jerked her arms from mine. "And if you fool me by telling me what I need to know, I can make you miserable as shit. You don't know me, Natasha."

"Fuck off, get out of my face!" she became rudely, bumped me off my shoulder leaving me winning but if she told me the wrong address to their boss, she screwed herself up.

Bumalik naman ako sa aming staff room, naupo ako sa isang tabi at huminga ng malalim. When I remember what just happened, earlier I couldn't take Prentice out of my head 'cause it feels like I'm cheating on her real-time with this job. All I need to do to get my freedom back was to sold myself, and what's left off me? I guess, nothing. Pride and dignity? No. I have nothing but I guess self-pity may occur most of the time.

"What the hell, Dicky?!" I immediately opened my eyes when someone entered the room, "are you touching yourself?"

Umiling naman kaagad ako, "I'm not, it just happens that my hands were on my under—"

"Stop!" Lilac said. "I did not see anything, okay?"

"You didn't." I grinned. "Wait, you're supposed to be on the private roo with that mafia-like group, right?"

"You're right, they're mafia—not just alike."

"Fuck,"

"Yup, and maybe that's why our boss wasn't here..."

My eyes narrowed when she said that, it is like something big conclusion to what MD's action can be answered.

"Why?" I asked unknowingly.

"I don't know what's real but what gossip hanging around was she made a terrible mistake by betraying this mafia and when they're trying to get hold off her, she's not around to compensate anything. She's hiding... but that's what I just know, I'm not sure of everything."

"Okay but that's new..."

"Not to us," she smirks. "I got get back there, I just need to pick up some kits to test them."

I watched her opening the drawer and leave suddenly while I'm in the trance of ending this drama. I can make this work, I can make it happen. If GCS has already had a grudge on her, what more it could be if this mafia could be a weapon to take her down? I'm totally in this game, I just need to know what is right to find my way out of this hell.
