Getting anyone to smile in this world was getting increasingly difficult. There was not a ray of sunshine left over in this place. My fingers had gone dry from doing paper work. I had to moist them every hour or so. This is what my life had become. I did this all for the glory of my dad who would expect so much of me. It was Friday, and it had been months since I last had been to the strip club. I had not seen her since then. Not since I had handed her panties. It was surreal. I could still feel the fabric, soft.

I wondered what she would be wearing today. She was the only thing keeping me sane nowadays. Between all the business talk, teaching my kid brother how to survive in this world and earning up to my father. He had no idea I went to strip clubs. He would not approve of it. I knew he went there often himself, to the high end ones where you just as easily could by sex as well. Father was not faithful to our mother. It had been years since they had a relationship. They were only together for the publicity.

What father would have said if I came home with Sakura on my hand I had no idea. I would never find out. She was only a sad comfort. A shallow picture of what I dreamt of. It would never happen, like I would never leave the office early. I did not have anyone at home. I had nothing but a cold house waiting for me at the estate. I knew when she came on stage, and I knew when I had to leave the office to get there in time. Dad had already packed up and left. I was afraid that the one day would find out. I was going to inherit the company, I could not have strip club goer on my résumé.

I shut off the lights and got into my Hennessey Venom GT. It had been a gift for my 21st. For doing good for committing my life to the company. I did not care for expensive and flashy goods. I loved my car though, but hated the attention it gave me. The club was not close to as packed as it used to be, on the other hand the crowd was twice as drunk as the used to be. Horror struck me when they introduced Hinata to the stage. She seemed to be high on cocaine, her cheap make up was not even close to hiding the bruises that her assumable abusive spouse had given her. I made my way to the bar demanding to speak someone in charge at this place. The manager came out. fat, disgusting looking like someone who would help himself to the girls. I asked for Sakura. He didn't seem to remember her name at first. "Ah, the flexible blond, Ino? She quit this place a while ago." His words were slow. "Too bad too, she drew a crowd. But she had too high standards. This place was not good enough for her. Last I heard she could hardly make a living." I demanded her information. He was slow at first, my $100.000 Rolex Submariner made it all easier. I left the club disappointed; I did not even bother looking at this Hinata. It was dark when I got out. I ended up driving around town. I did not know what to do with her contact information. I did not even know if he had scammed me. How would I approach her, I wouldn't want to scare her. I found myself in her area. I drove past. It was not a good neighborhood. The building was run down. People were dealing on the street corners; it did not look like a safe and happy neighborhood. I stopped a group of teens outside her building. I gave them $300 to tell me if someone named Ino lived there. They called her the ice maiden, used some crude words to describe her and what they wanted to do to her. They started talking about my ride and how sweet it was. I didn't want them touching it so I took off. She had looked so scared that last night on the stage, she looked depressed and shameful. She looked shocked when I approached her later the same night. I would not scare her by showing up. Not like this. Not tonight. I wondered what had caused her to leave her job without a word. Maybe something had happened, maybe she had gotten someone to pay her bills, maybe she too had an abusive husband or maybe she had gotten pregnant.

Now you spoilt brats. I'm making this into a several chapter story. Nevermind I've got 2049939098034 other ones going on
