THIRD POV.
Svetlan hated every single day that she had to wake up. She hated going to the club and dancing skimpy outfits . She hated how the men felt like it was okay to touch someone without their consent . She hated that she was just a property and woukd probably would go with the highest bidder .
But that wasn't what she hated most about the job. She hated the act that she didn't know anything else out of that pole. She hated the fact that she knew she woukd never survive if she left the club. She didn't have any skill she was just a beautiful girl but she k ew that was enough to survive or better yet enough to make her achieve things that would be hard fir her to do on her own .
She tripped as she got on the stage trying to clean the pole for her dance since she was the show opener .
"Don't break that leg i need you working your ass off tonight ",said Philip as he observed the girls behind the shadows.
She hated Philip with everything in him. She hated that he thiught they were just dolls to be pimped out and used . They all knew better than not to do what he wanted them to do. She had seen girls leave his office with a black eye and tear strained cheeks .
She also hated that sometimes she actually tolerated him. Life was not abed roses and he reminded them everyday . She k ew nothing came free so she was always willing to work and get everything she wanted she just hated the things she had to do sometimes.
Without even turning she could feel his presence in the room. It's like all of a sudden all her thoughts stopped and her brain only focused on him .
His musky scent was intoxicating and for a second it was all Svetlan wanted to inhale . She turned around and he just stood in the middle of the room.
He was tall she could barely see his face but it really didn't matter she could not forget his face .
He walked towards the front each step screaming power and making Svetlana crave him more and more. He barely smiled ever and she had gotten used to the mean mug on his face which suited his rough features .
She could feel his eyes on her body as she prepared herself to start dancing. It was not until he sat down that she noticed he had a bouquet of roses and couldn't help herself but chuckle .
Who even thought of buying a stripper flowers ?
Apart of her smiled but she couldn't show it . A man had never bought her flowers but she knew not to be excited . She knew thats he was just his fix fir the weak . When you didthe job she did woth time you would realise that it didn't matter how into you a man was they would still find somebody else more interesting you and just like that you'd stop being their whole world .
Music started playing and was glad that it happened so that he would stop thinking about the man that was staring at her as if her body was covered in diamonds .
Her body started moving slowly to the music as she swoly climbed the pole . In that moment she didn't even care if there were other people in the room the one she wanted was taking at her barely even blinking .
She felt his gaze on every part of her body as she danced getting lost in the music . Her mind was clearly as she danced like her life depended on it . Flashes of memories she was trying so hard to forget kept flashing in her mind but she wouldn't let them control her so she focused on the man infront of him.
Her legs clung to the pole as she swung her head back letting her hands roam free like she was floating on a source of water . As she swung herself around her head got dizzy and couldn't control the tear that fell from her eyes as te screams in her head begun getting more loud .
The floor was covered in money and it really didn't even matter she put the money in her bag and exited the stage and made her way to where Nick was seated .
"Hey ",she said as she sat infront of him.
"Hey you look ethereal ",he said as he took her hand and kissed it .
"Thank you ",she said smiling .
"No problem mon amor ",he said as he took the bouquet of flowers on his side and gave them to Svetlana the rolex box on top of them.
She didn't know how to react she just stared at them in disbelief. He could see the happiness in her eyes even though she tried so much not to smile . He could also see the tear straak on her cheek but chose not to address it .
"Thank you ",she said in a low voice and hugged him clinging to his body .
She didn't want him to let go of his hands . She coukd feel herself getting emotional and she k ew it wasn't because of the rolex that a man she had danced only once fir had bought her .
She was sad that she had wondered why he had bought her flowers . She had a disgusting career and this man was here buying her a rolex and flowers like it was going to make her stop what she was doing or maybe she thought she didnt deserve a man like that .
"No problem you deserve this and more ",he said as she pulled away from the hug.
"Still Thank you ",she said as she opened the box and squeezed the moment she saw the pink rolex that glistened calling out to her .
"Am assuming that means you like it",Nick said chuckling .
"It's pink why wouldn't I",Svetlana said chuckling like a little girl and he couldn't help but smile as he watched her .
"Well I'll try to remind myself you like things that are pink . I wanted to ask you when you don't work i would like to take out you to dinner if you don't mind ?",Nick asked her with a serious look on his face .
"I don't work tomorrow ",she said diverting her gaze from the watch and looking at him.
"Okay I'd like to assume you don't leave here so I'll need your address so much driver where to come pick you up ",Nick said .
"Oohh yeah I need your number for that ", Svetlana said as Nick handed her his phone and she saved her number .
"Alright angel ",he said smiling remembering the days she had given him a dance he had said she looked like an angel .
Philip stood in the corner and smiled knowing he had taught her well. He knew that all those lessons were soon going to pay off .
"Bye i have to go now and clean up i have to work ",Svetlana said as she stood up ready to leave .
She couldn't tell but she had reminded Nick that she had to work. In that moment it had hit him that she had to dance and there was going to be a wierdo who was gonna have the urge to put his hands on her and his jaw clenched just by the thought alone.
"Hiw much for you to take a day off?",he asked her as he stood up and started pulling bills from his pocket .
"What?" Svetlana asked taken back at little .
"Is 10,000$ enough ?",he asked and she just stared at him not knowing what to feel .
"Am assuming 20,000$ is enough ",he said he placed the money oh her bouquet and kissed her cheek .
"My driver will be back to pick you up in like half an hour so don't leave till he is here I want you to get home safe ",he said as he turned and left leaving Svetlana standing there wondering what had just transpired .
