Chapter 6

She pinched herself and clutched the sheets with both of her hands. What kind of mess is this? Out of all the possible gawk-worthy men in town and in Rizzo club, it had to be Alexandro. The Don.

The scary and most feared CEO of RIZZO ENTERPRISES. His face was hard to find on tabloids and the media. Even in Rizzo club, no one has seen him or can particularly tell what he looks like.

The one time she could have been one of the fortunate or unfortunate stripper to have clearly seen his face and know what he looks like, was lost and completely gone.

She sighed and blamed it all on the alcohol she'd gulped. She knew that she was a light weight when it comes to alcohol, it has been a reliable help she would subscribe to it just to feel numb and totally unbothered during her performance. It was the guts she needed to faze through all that trouble and the obvious mess.

But now she blamed it for distorting her memory. She looked up at the silver ceiling and clasped her eyes shut and then opened them again to appreciate the generous tip he'd left her.

She sighed and nodded slightly to herself. Yes, she would save up some from it for David's tuition fees by the end of the month, if he finally gets an admission into college. At least, her wild escapade did pay off.

Sophia quickly put aside the small note and money and decided to get dressed and go back home to her brother, who was probably expecting her home back from her night shift as a ‘store assistant’ any minute.

Then she realized she's left with her underwear from her strip performance the previous night. It was indeed weird that she always finds it uncomfortable to walk around in her undies during the day but as soon as night falls, she was mostly comfortable with it.

So she thought of, and looked around the room for what to wear or how to cover herself up, when she noticed a medium sized towel hung over the dress table. She'd opt for it.

She moved over to grab it and then she wrapped it up around her body and quickly grabbed her underwear and the pile of cash and also the small note.

She wrapped up the cash in her underwear to avoid unnecessary eyes from snatching it all away.

Then she grabbed her heels and immediately left the room, heading straight up to her dressing room without looking back.

When she got inside of her dressing room, she sighed exasperatedly as if she'd been on a marathon race in order to avoid and escape nosy conspicuous eyes as well as people.

“Oh there you are finally!” Mia said out loud as Sophia's eyes darted towards her.

Mia was seated in front of the mirror yet again with makeup and brushes. Sophia was tempted to roll her eyes at her for having an obvious habit of doing the same thing over and over.

“I unfortunately didn't get laid last night but I see someone else did?” Mia giggled awkwardly at Sophia who decided to finally detach herself from the door and head towards her own dress table.

“Aren't you going home?” Sophia ignored her statement and asked instead.

Mia always disappears after her performance every time but it was really a surprise seeing that she didn't or haven't, this time around.

Mia shrugged. “Oh, I will. I heard the Don came to the club and much so, the strip session and no one saw him and no one, I mean absolutely no stripper saw him last night except for the the one he spent the night with.” Mia grimaced.

Sophia froze at the thought of him yet again etched to her mind. She was the one he'd spent the night with and abandoned with a small note and a pile of cash as tip, but she would not be able to tell what he looks like but at least, she has his name.

Mia frowned obviously wishing she was the lucky girl the Don had found intriguing.

But Sophia knew it won't take so long before the other girls know that she's the one that had been with the Don. She bet they'd be so full of jealousy and envy. But if only they know how unfortunate yet fortunate she felt about sleeping with him.

“Really?” Sophia asked in pretense as Mia nodded disappointedly.

“I had hoped that he'd show up at my session and miraculously when I'm going about my performance. I had hoped that he would see me and be charmed and I would get to be the woman of the night.” Mia stated dreamily.

Sophia snorted at how Mia looked so infatuated by a man she'd never laid eyes on.

“You're obviously out of your mind, Mia.” Sophia said as Mia looked at Sophia through her reflection in the mirror.

“I am Sophia, the thought of him is enough to make me wet with pleasure.” Mia blurted as Sophia shook her head at her.

“You're impossible.” Sophia said and settled herself on her chair and grabbed some clothes to fold as well as bring out the clothes she wore when leaving the house. She would need to change back into it and go home.

Then Mia adjusted herself and threw a glance at Sophia.

“So how did your night go? Did you have fun? Oh no wait, that was a very stupid question to ask. I bet you did have fun last night.” Mia pouted as if she was the only unfortunate one.

Sophia nodded awkwardly. “Oh I did.”

Mia nodded too. “Yes, I know you did. I only wonder who that lucky girl is, since no one has seen or can recognize the Don.”

Sophia paused for a moment at the mention of ‘the Don’. Clearly, something about the mention of him, the thought of him, and the feel of him caused and made spirals of strange thrill to settle at the pit of her stomach.

His name was at the tip of her tongue and she could still smell his cologne all over her body. Who exactly is this man that has managed to imprint his personality in her soul. She is obviously being unfortunate. Then her breasts tingled a bit in remembrance of the way his teeth nibbled and sucked on it.

Gosh! She's turning out to be a certified idiot at the thought of him. She shook her head, hoping she would get him out of her thoughts.

“Why not go home and stop whining about the impossible. I'm preparing to leave because I have sleep to catch up on and obviously, things to do.” Sophia said to Mia as Mia pressed her lips into a thin line and focused on her reflection in the mirror.

“I'll leave too.” Mia mumbled as Sophia quickly changed into her clothes and secretly grabbed and shoved her tip and the note into her leather bag.
