~A SHOT OF TEQUILA ~

"I actually like you." Said Ten handing Valarie some clothes. "You're really pretty and fresh. I finally have someone my age to work with."

Valarie folded her lips and it curved into a smile. "I like you too." She said back, as Ten turned to the mirror putting some lipstick on. "Its probably just the fact that...I haven't had any girl time in a very long time. I used to do this type of thing with my sisters."

"After this, I hope we could do it again?" She asks turning to give Valarie a look over. "You said you were eighteen right? Nineteen-"

"Eighteen." Nodded Valarie, trying to fix the straps of her top and make sure her leg was going in the right hole in the skirt.

"Good. Then we can go drinking together. Margaritas? Martini? What kinda drink do you like for a night out? To get totally munted."

"I actually like whiskey." Valarie admits as Ten walks over helping her straighten up the folds and creases along the very revealing clothing. "Jack Daniels is my favorite."

"I'm a bit of everything." She shrugged "Now, come stand in front of this mirror and explain to me how you are going to carry out this mission."

Valarie did as she was told and stood in front of the mirror. She wasn't particularly ready but said, "Kill Howard."

Ten let out a sigh and rolled her eyes. Valarie didn't understand why and watched Ten run her fingers through her hair. "Listen, that's the job. Use what you have. Americans like accents I know you don't have one but you are Hispanic." her face soften a bit. "Use it. Tonight you are a different person. You aren't Valarie you are...whoever you want to be. When I'm out there I'm Ten. I'm the dominant, the Misstres. Men bow to me." Her hands brush some hair from Valarie's eye. "Use your beauty."

"If I'm being honest...I don't think I'm prepared-"

"Get prepared!" Ten shouts narrowing her brows and clenching her teeth. "Sorry, I didnt mean to get...aggressive. Look, I understand Valarie, its still new."

Valarie tries to keep from shaking and covers her arms, hugging herself a bit.
Ten takes her hands and gives her a friendly smile. "Can I tell you something?"

"Yeah, sure." Answers Valarie now curious to what she had to say

"I killed because I had too. I killed my uncle because I had too. Give yourself a reason to kill your victim. Once you confront your mind the fears will go away." she said gripping her hands. "Remember, you aren't you. Wear a mask, take a shot of tequila if you have to, to get yourself in gear. Its commit-"

"Or die." Valarie finished

"That's my girl." Ten whispers "Take one last look in the mirror, Val. No turning back from here."

∆VALARIE POV ∆

I quickly noticed Roman in the crowd as Ten and I walked in. Ten told me walk around and get the vibe of the room.

I avoided Romans gaze. I didn't want him to stare at me. I felt exposed in my clothes. Half of my ass was out in that skirt and so were my boobs. The six inch stilletoes weren't making it any better! When I looked around, most of the girls were dressed similar to Ten and I.

No!

We were dressed to look like them! They were hookers! I was dressed to look like someone's hooker! A prostitute!

"I think I'll need that shot of Tequila." I mutter to myself

Just as I went to the bar, I noticed the man I was to kill. Howard...right there, four feet away from me being entertained by some other girls who giggled and wiggled there body on him.

Yuck!

"Tequila." I tell the bartender and I sort of freeze when I see Felix's face

"Of course." He nods and takes a second glance at me. "Do I know you? You remind me of someone."

I quickly remember my mothers accent and copy it. "Someone beautiful I hope." I wink.

Felix chuckled and shrugged and grabbed my drink for me. I look over and caught the eye of Howard and pursed my lips and turned back.

"Here you are." He says a few moments later and with tequila came a martini. I give Felix a questionable look and he nods over to Howard. "From the gentleman over there. Says you're a fine specimen."

I take my shot of Tequila and look at the martini. Ten told me to make him want me. Men like the chase right?

Taking in a breath I don't give the martini a second glance and bite my lip. "Put the tequila on my tab,please."

Standing to my feet I pretend to give myself a look over and make sure Howard was watching as I lifted a leg a bit, gliding my finger up and down my thigh.

Playing with my hair and moving it from shoulder to shoulder I squint a bit. I poked my finger on something sharp. When I pull it out, I realize its a needle. The ones I use when I train with Roman. They were disguised as hair pins.

As I was about to leave I feel someone behind me and I act casual and act as if I don't notice his presence.

"You don't like martini's?"

"Are you talking to me?" I ask "A fine specimen?"

"I see." he coughs as I face away from him still "I do apologize Miss. I didn't mean to sound disrespectful. What is your name?"

"My name...my name is Raqisa."

"Raqisa. How charming."

My body twists and I hold out my hand as if waiting for him to kiss my knuckles. I won't look him directly in the eye.

I feel his lips touch my knuckles and thats when I look directly at him. "I'm Daniel. Around here, everyone, my friends calls me Bugsey."

"Daniel, maybe you'd escort me to a table. My feet are rather tired of standing."

He was so focused on my body that he didn't hear what I said. Ten and Roman never told me how hard this was going to be.

"This...shack is rather dull. I think I'll spend my night at a real casino."

"Shack? Why Raqisa...you have no idea how this place could liven up! Stay for a while. I promise you won't regret it."

Hey! Its me! Hope you liked this chapter! Things are gonna get pretty real in here. I am very excited.

What do you guys think of Ten so far? Is she better then Roman?

Let me know. I love hearing from you all. Shout out to recklesslcve so glad you decided to read my story ☺
