My Gangster Lover

Natasha Saturday night.  I throw on some comfy joggers and zip up my matching grey hoodie. I have to be at work and on the floor by 6 P.M it's now 5. I quickly pocket my phone and carkey's then run out of my apartment door while I shout bye to my roommate Jess. Running through the building and out into the parking garage I search for my car not remembering where I parked it last night I was so darn tired and probably just abandoned it somewhere. "Ah, there you are!" I squeal as I find my Red Chevy Impala parked between the two high-end German cars owned by my roommate. I click the button on the car keys and she response with a flash of her headlights and a quick beep.  Opening the passanger side and placing my gym bag on the seat I sigh as I think of what could happen tonight. I get into my car and fire the engine up then pull out of the garage and drive to work. *** "How you doing Natasha?" Leeroy the clubs bouncer and doorman asks as I approach him. I smile as I stand infront of him and he tenses one peck at a time like he always has done when he sees me. "I'm doing just great, how bout' you?" I grin as he folds his arms over his chest. "Same old, same old." He smiles unfolding his arms then he opens the club doors for me, I nod as I enter the club. I get greeted by our bartenders as I pass the bar to go into the back where the locker room is.  "Red? Or black?" I ask Angel as I show her to outfits, she furrows her brows then points to the black outfit and smiles, showing of the diamond glued onto one of her canine teeth. I wink at her and start to change into my outfit for tonight. My boss, Dolly walks in as I finish changing with clipboard in hand and a cigarette between her bright red lips. She about early forties, I never really asked but she looks after us girls and she is one badass. "Angel, your working the pole tonight sweetie." She orders as she scribbles something onto the piece of paper that's on her clipboard. She quickly looks up at me and back to her clipboard. "Babe, your on the floor tonight, and be nice to our customers please." She finishes as she takes a drag of her cigarette and puts in out in the ashtray by the make-up stations.  I nod and smile and she gives me a little wink before heading to the next locker room to tell the other girls what their job is tonight. While, at work my name is Babe, all the other girls have different names also, it's to hide our identity incase we get some creepy stalker looking us up and finding out where we live etc, etc. I take a deep breath then apply some red lipstick and heading out onto the clubs floor. "Babe, tables 4 and 5 needs their scotch." Jack shouts as I near the bar. I take a serving tray and he places the drink onto it and give me a wink. "Good girl, now be nice, they are our best paying customers." He tells me as he goes back to pouring drinks, I scrunch my nose and stick my tongue out at him before I strut over to table 4 and 5. The tables smack bang infront of the stage where Angel is working the main pole. I give her a cheeky wink as I place a glass of scotch onto each table as I turn around to walk away. The first guy all dressed in a expensive suit and wearing expensive cologne, I could tell by the musky smell, grabs my arm and smiles at me showing off a few gold teeth passes me a 10 dollar bill and says "For you sweetheart, buy yourself something pretty." Then gives me a wink before turning back to Angel. I roll my eyes and heave a small breath before heading back over to the bar. "This is gonna be a long night." I say to myself as I place more drinks onto my serving tray. *** Midnight came and it was time for my break, on my break I usually have about 4 shots of Tequila then go out the back for a cigarette, which is exactly what I am going to do right now after I finish this last shot. I scrunch my nose and wiggle my legs as the alcohol burns my throat and leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Jack laughs like he does every night while he watches me torture myself with the Tequila even though it's the only thing that stops me from snapping some guys fingers for touching my ass after I've served him drinks. "Cigarette time?" Jack asks as he takes the shot glasses from me. "Cigarette time!" I repeat as I place a cigarette between my lips and pull my lighter out from my bra. He gives me a grin and winks at me as I pull myself of the bar stool and head in the direction of the back door. Heading out to the alley I hear grunts and screams then a loud bang, curious as I spark my cigarette I walk around the corner to the other part of the alley and all I see is blood all over the floor, it's dying the once grey concrete a crimson red colour. I look further up and see a man struggling for breath as he holds onto his chest, his hand all bloody. My eye's widen. The lit cigarette falls from my hand and into a pool of blood. Niklaus I circle around the man I chased all the way to this alley way, he shakes petrified crying. I laugh at him when I stop infront of him watching him sob and shake. "You understand why I'm doing this, don't you?" I ask him while look at my ring on my right hand. "No." He whispers. "Well... I'm doing this because you are a rat." I walk closer to him glaring into his eyes not breaking eye contact. "I'm doing this because you tried outting my group to the police, luckily they didn't need much persuading, after all they are only simple minded creatures." I continue to tell him while never breaking eye contact.  His eyes fill with fresh tears and I grin at him evilly. "I hope you enjoy it on the other side." I finish as I c**k my gun and shoot him in the chest. When he falls I hear faint footsteps nearing the corner, they sound like stiletto's and I roll my eyes. 'What now?' I ask myself. A ginger haired female walks around the corner into the dreary scene I have just caused. I watch her ice blue eyes widen and then the cigarette in her left hand fall to the floor into a pool of the rats blood then extinguish. She frozen to the spot. She quiet the beauty as well, her long ginger hair reminds me of fire and her ice blue eyes look as a frozen lake would. I run up to her and grab her by her arms. "Look at me." I demand her.  She slowly looks up from the floor and into my eyes. "You will remember nothing that you saw, you came out of work for a cigarette then went back in to finish off your shift at work. It's a shame we met in these circumstances but you will not remember me either. Do you understand?" I finish with the usual question. She nods at me and once I am sure she understands I turn her around and she walks off unaware of what she saw. I smile and hold my arms behind my back as I wait for her to disappear from sight. Once gone I ring my clean up crew and give them my destination. When I am happy with the response from my clean up crew, I walk off from the scene and back to my car before speeding off. Natasha I go back into the club and back to the bar where Jack is waiting for me with more drink orders. "Where we you?" He asks. "Erm, just out the back." I tell him confused with my answer. I place drinks onto my serving tray and head out onto the floor. *** My shift ends and I say goodbye to Angel then Leeroy. I drive home almost half asleep. It's 2 A.M. We had a busy night tonight like we always do on a Thursday because Angel was on the main pole and it's 'Thirsty Thursday', we sell Jagerbombs for a dollar on a Thursday night. I'm sure all the males married and single know that Angel is on the pole every Thursday because we are always bombarded with men that day. Well, I was lucky tonight, I made $450 dollars in tips tonight, I will be using my black outfit more often. I sigh as I pull into the Apartment parking garage then into a parking space. I breath out deeply as I take the keys out of the ignition and grab my gym bag. Locking the car I then drag myself up to my apartment and collapse into bed. I wake up around dinner time to the smell of food cooking away. "Mmmm." I moan out as Jesse bring me her famous spaghetti bolognese. "Afternoon hunny." Jesse smiles as she places the food on my bedside table. "You treat me to much." I grin at her as I sit up in bed. She smiles and sits on the edge of the bed. "I heard you come in this morning so I thought you deserved some of my famous spaghetti bolognese." She finishes when gesturing to the steaming hot plate of food on the table.  "Your the best, chica." I hug her then sit back, she gives me a wink then walks out of my room shutting the door behind her. I eat my food then take a long shower, the heat from the water releaves some of the tension on my back and I smile as it revives me. Once finished in the shower I get out and dress up in black ripped skinny jeans and a over sized black hoodie. Pulling my hair up into a messy bun then walking into the living room and putting on my black converse. Jesse is stood in the kitchen looking out of the window while smoking a cigarette. "No work today?" I ask her as I walk into the kitchen and light my own cigarette. "Nope, they can handle the company without the CEO for one day a week I think." She tells me as she blows out a cloud of smoke. "I still don't understand why you share an apartment with me, you can afford a house with your income." I tell her looking out the window. "I like living here, I don't get lonely." She replies putting out her cigarette.  I look at her and smile, she is my best friend. The closes thing I have to family, since my parents passed and I haven't seen or spoken to my brother in 6 years. I finish my cigarette and sit down in the living room and put netflix on to watch my favourite T.V show. Grimm, I was on season 4, Monroe and Rosalee had just married and they were getting threats from an organization, I relaxed into the couch and smiled as the scene unfolded on the T.V. *** "Crap, I'm going to be late!" I shout as I just off the couch and turn the T.V off. I managed to watch half of season 4 before I checked my phone and realized it was 5:15 P.M.  I ran into my bedroom and grabbed my gym bag from beside my bed and pocketed my carkey's. Jesse was watching me from the door and laughing. "Shut up!" I tell her as I let my no dry hair down. She laughs more and moves out the way for me to pass her. When I pass her I stick my tongue out at her before running out of the apartment and to my car.
