Eastside of Lonely [DE]

CHAPTER ONE

Ayira A.
11:30 PM

My alarm went off causing me to hit the snooze button, once again.

I loudly groan, throwing the white duvet off of my body. I swing my legs to the side of the bed and slip on my house shoes before getting out of the bed.

I rub the crust out of my eyes while walking to my bathroom that was connected to my room, I turn on the light and look at myself in the mirror.

"what the fuck, did a tornado come through this bitch while i was sleep?" i mumble lowly to myself. I looked hideous, my bonnet was halfway off and i had a line of dry slob at the corner of my mouth.

Not to mention the sleep lines on my face from sleeping on my arms. I let out a loud sigh, turning the facet on and starting my morning routine.

Once I was completely finished, I took a shower and installed a new wig recording a video to post on my snapchat later.

I walk back into my bedroom to get dressed in my comfortable attire for the day. I'm bartending at the club tonight and had to look presentable since we're having a huge welcome home party for some guy I never heard about.

I look myself over in my full body mirror, seeing that I looked presentable enough I turned my light off and walked out of my room. "hey lolo, I'm leaving now." i knock on my best friends door, peeping my head inside of her room.

"okayyy, turn your location on so I'll know when you get there. i love you and be safe." she says still asleep, she didn't work at the club on weekends, only on weekdays.

"i will. do you want me to bring home your usual?" i ask and she nods. i say my goodbyes and close her door back.

I go over my mental check list making sure I had everything before leaving the apartment and I did. I turn the alarm on and lock both locks on the front door, closing it behind me.

Pressing the unlock button on my car keys, I open the back driver door and place my belongings on the seat before getting into the drivers seat. I turn the key in the ignition only for the car to not start up.

"what in the actual hell. please do not do this to me right now." I groan frustratedly, turning the key again only to hear a clicking sound.

I exhale a loud and irritated sigh before dialing my father's number. He came within minutes and fixed it quickly.

"I'm sorry for waking you up daddy, thank you so much!" i cheese kissing his cheek.

"mhm. go'on now little girl. waking me up out my damn sleep i was having a good dream." he spat making me laugh and get into my car.

He closes my door and watches as I pull out of the parking garage of my apartment. Driving through the city brought me a sense of peace and comfort.

I loved to drive late at night or in this case early in the mornings. It didn't take me long to pull into the packed out parking lot of face's strip club where I've been working the last three and a half years, since i was 20 years old.

Lolo's family owns the club and allowed me to work under the table as a custodian until i was of age to bartend. I've been bartending and dancing for two years to pay my way through nursing school.

I'm halfway there just three more months to go and I'll have all the money i need for this semester and to get my car fixed.

I grab my bags from the backseat and head toward the door, waving at a few of the girls who were coming on for my shift.

"have a great night, b." dexter the bodyguard spoke and i smiled at him, knowing tonight would be the biggest night of the week for everyone.

I walk through the club, going to the locker room to put my belongings away. I touched up my hair before applying lipgloss and lip liner to my lips and rubbing it in. "let's make this money," i smiled to myself in the mirror.

I get up and change into my work uniform for the night. Tonight was an all black attire night, I had on coochie cutter shorts with a matching bra that tied up around my neck and my back.

Walking out the locker room and over to the bar, I took a seat and order me a shot. I wasn't a drinker, but i needed to take the edge off dealing with rowdy and horny customers.

My night went by pretty easily, i made a bunch of money in tips from bartending and I was happy with it. "Baby, Charles wants to see you in his office." one of the security guards whispered in my ear, i nod and follow him back to the office.

He knocks on the door before i heard Charles' voice saying, "come in."

I push the door open and step inside letting it close behind me. "you wanted to see me sir?"

"yes, um..i need you to work the private party we are having. one of the new girls called out last minute and i don't have any one else who can do it." he exhales pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I'll allow you to keep all of the money you make if you do me this huge favor." he practically begs, and i nod. I needed the money anyway. "I'll do it." I agree with a smile on my face.

"go see lady about new floss and take the elevator downstairs." he says and i nod turning away and walking out.

I go see lady about my new floss and head to seclusion. The club was sectioned into two parts; the main floor for new and returning members and seclusion which was for Face's vip clients who didn't want to be videoed during there time at the club.

"what's the code?" the deep voice spoke behind the little slit in the door.

"Demon." I say and the door opens.

The music was loud just like downstairs, but the lights were a red hue. I looked around while walking over to the bar where two girls were tending to clients.

"hey b, you ready to get this party started?" kior smirks and i nod happily.

"let me get a shot of tequila, please." i tell her sitting at the barstool, she nods and finishes up some guys drink at the end of the bar.

"here you go girl."

"thank you." i nod and smile before downing the shot letting it take over my body. I was looking forward to tonight and what it had to offer.

"let's make this money." I say to myself, getting up from the bar and going backstage since i was up next to dance.
