Freedom For Love

Chapter #1.The first day on the job.

“Hi I’m Cleo, I was born in a small town of Los Angeles.

I grew up here all my life, and though it wasn’t the best life.

My mother always tried her best to keep me from getting hit by my father, my mom protected me from him.

Because everytime he came home from work, he was drunk and if I wasn’t asleep by 8:24 Pm.

I would’ve gotten whipped by my father’s belt strap.

But finally after a few years.

My mother made a deal with my father.

Promising him that I would come work as a stripper, for my father if he promised not to hit me.

And he agreed to it, but I don’t want that kind of job.

To:Future self, or anyone who finds this diary”

As Cleo closes her diary and puts on the clothes that were given to her, by one of the stripper’s.

The clothes were black thin underwear.

With a gold lacing at the back connecting to a black bra.

One of the stripper’s suddenly say “Just a tip of advice. Listen to what the customer wants and do it, okay”

“Why, what will happen if I don’t do what the customer wants?”Cleo says curiously.

The stripper then says “Well the last time one of us didn’t listen, we got cut, or shot, or killed. Now come on Cleo we have to get out there”

As Cleo and the other stripper get into the public part.

They get to their stations and begin dancing.

*A few minutes later*

Cleo’s father comes up and checks on her, and says “So Cleo has anyone been interested in taking you in a booth yet?”

“No, but I’m fine without getting asked to go in a booth,”Cleo says.

Trying to get her father to go away.

*2 hours later*

Cleo’s father suddenly came up to her in a mad tone, and said “What did you do Cleo! Why didn’t you satisfy them”

“Because I don’t want to work here. I want an actual job, and an education”Cleo says to her father.

Cleo’s father then says “What kind of education do you want?”

“I want an art education,”Cleo says confidently.

Cleo’s father sighs and says “If I let you get an art education.

Will you promise to work harder and satisfy the customers?”

“Yes, I promise,”Cleo says.

Even though she is going to regret her promise.

Hoping that a miracle will happen.

Cleo’s father then says “Fine, you can go to get your art education.

Then you’ll come right back, but for now you will work hard”

She nods her head and gets back to work.

*A few hours later*

Cleo’s shift ends, as she goes to leave.

But then Cleo’s father says “Hey, where do you think you’re going.

Your shift doesn’t end until 2 in the morning.

Get back to work”

“It’s 12 though and I’ve been working for 6 hours.

I need some sleep and rest,”Cleo says tiredly.

As she leaves the place and walks to an apartment.

Goes to her apartment room, because her father won’t let her buy an actual place of her own.

As Cleo goes to her bedroom and takes off the stripper clothes, and goes to fall asleep.

But just then someone knocks on Cleo’s door.

Cleo sighs and gets up, and puts on a house coat, and goes over to the front door.

Opens it and says “Yes? How can I help?”

The guy then says “My roommate locked me out of my apartment.

Could I stay the night?I’m Zayn”

Cleo looked at Zayn and saw his dark brown hair, and his bright blue gorgeous eyes, and his soft almond like skin.

Then said “Okay but just for the night, and I’m Cleo by the way”

As she invited him in.

Zayn walks inside and closes the door, and locks it, and says “Thank you Cleo, and it’s so nice to meet you”

Cleo then says “You’re welcome and it’s nice to meet you too.

Now I have to go to sleep, so you can sleep wherever you would like”

As Cleo walks to her bedroom.

Takes her house coat off.

Goes under the covers, and falls asleep.
