Indulgence

Just another night working the front tables at Indulgence. That's the club where I work. I like to think of myself as a Ecdysiast which really is a technical term for a stripper. I cant complain though, I'm content with my job and Indulgence is a very up scale place so I get a decent income. I've had to provide for myself since I was sixteen, both my parents were involved in a plane crash and I didn't want to go into care. I dropped out of school with no qualifications and started work as a waitress in a cafe to make ends meet. This guy came to the cafe one night, he said he saw something in me so he gave me his card and told me to come and audition. I quit my waitressing job and got a job at Indulgence.

"Great show tonight girls" Sam announced. Sam's the owner of Indulgence. He's a nice man and treats us with respect.

"Did you like my triple spin in the first routine, Sam? Tiffany always has to show off but she is one of our best dancers so I think she has a right to. I'm not nearly as good as Tiff, she's twenty seven so she has a good nine years of experience on me.

"Sam, phone call!" Stuart the receptionist yells from the office. Sam strides out of the changing room where all the girls are now getting dressed to go home, and answers the phone.

"You were great tonight Bella!" Shelly remarks, Shelly's my best friend. She was the nicest to me when I first came here.

"Thanks Shel. So were you, as always" she really was, she's been here for five years. I'm the baby of the girls because I've only been here for two years, all the others have been here for four years or more.

"See you tomorrow night Bel." Shelley called as she headed out the back.

Suddenly, Sam burst through the doors with a confused look on his face. "Bella, can I see you for a minute"

I was confused as well but followed Sam into the office and closed the door.

"Bella, I've just received a phone call from a gentleman who requests the pleasure of your company for a few nights"

"So I'll be doing private dancing in the back rooms for the next few nights for the same guy? OK but if I..."

"I think you misunderstood bells see, he's not coming here, he wants you to go to him and by a few nights I meant a week."

"A week? His place? I thought we didn't do outside events? What about..."

"Bella, relax! You don't have to do it if you don't want to, your contract to Indulgence doesn't specify duties. However he has offered a very agreeable settlement."

"How much?"

"Fifty thousand for you for a week"

I couldn't do anything except stand there with my jaw hanging off my face. Fifty thousand? Me? Why me specifically? I hardly ever get asked to do private sessions, it just always comes down to me when everyone asked for is already taken. Any way, we've only ever done one outside event at another club and even then I didn't like it. I don't like dancing if its not at Indulgence.

"You alright Bells?" I snapped out of my trail of thought and saw Sam waiting for my answer. I had no idea what my answer was though. Sure, my salary of that would pay the rent on my flat for the rest of my life but my gut just tied itself up and wouldn't let me answer.

"Yeah, um...do I know this guy? Is he a regular?" I wanted to know more about this guy before I gave my answer.

"That's the thing, I have no record of him as a customer or a visitor. If he's been here before he must have been completely anonymous. Its funny, on the phone he asked for you specifically by your name, not your stage name and we don't use real names in front of customers, ever. Maybe you know him as Bella?"

"What's his name?" Oh God please don't be someone I know, please.

"Edward Cullen"
