Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments.

I told her my name! I told her and now I haven't seen her for like a week! I knew that was the only thing keeping her here. Regina says that maybe something happened that she couldn't make it. I want to believe it but at the same time I don't. I finish my dance and go to the dressing room. Regina comes to me with a smirk.

"What?" I find myself asking.

"Your lovely stud muffin brought you something."

I look to the side and see in my table a bouquet of roses. I gaps and walk to them, smell them and look at the card. I smile like a fool as I read the note. It's from her.

'Hey my lovely Maura don't think I have forgotten about you on the contrary I haven't been able to. I am sorry about my absents this week I forgot I had a meeting outside of town but I am back and I believe I owe you a date so please be prepare tomorrow at 8 –J-'

I put the card back and turn to Regina. She wiggles her eyebrows and I laugh.

"So?"

"We are going on a date tomorrow night."

She squeals as she comes to me and hugs me. I laugh and shake my head. In that Emma walks in.

"What the hell got into her?"

"Jane and Maura are going on a date tomorrow!"

"Shut up! Hey nice job blondie!"

"You guys are acting like I just won the noble price or something."

"Hey you have been drooling over this chick for weeks alright" says Emma.

I slap her in the arm playfully. She makes a fake pout and looks at Regina who rolls her eyes.

"You aren't going to say nothing babe?"

"Yeah quit being such a baby Emma."

"Whatever that wasn't what you were saying last night."

Now it was Regina who slaps her. I laugh and go to change. They walk me to the bus stop again and they stay until the bus comes. I wave my good nights and get in.

"Hey Autumn." Says the driver.

"Hi Mike."

I sit at the front and get my phone out. I start to play on my phone to pass the time. I get to my apartment and hop in the shower. I wash everything of that day off my body. Once I'm done I get dress in my pajamas and go to my room. I find it hard to sleep that night with the excitement but I eventually fall asleep. I wake up to the pounding on my door. I look at the clock and it reads 10 am. I huff as I get out of bed towards the pounding. She opens it to see her friend Marianna.

"Jesus Marianna can you be a little more considerate I was fucking sleeping!"

"Sorry Maura."

"What do you need M?"

"I want to hang out, we barely do so anymore. How about we go to the mall?"

I open my mouth to decline but then I remember I have nothing to wear for my date with Jane. I nod and let her in. I go to my room and start to get dress. She lays in my bed like every other time when she comes and I'm getting ready.

"Me and Jesus have been wondering where you've been."

Jesus is her brother who's always hanging around. I haven't told her yet about my new job or Jane or my new friends. I feel awful for hiding that from her so I decide to tell her.

"Well I have been working."

"Working? Doing what?"

"Uh I'm err a stripper." I mumble.

"I'm sorry did I hear you correctly? Did you just say you work as a stripper?"

I nod my head and keep dressing. I hear her stand up and walk up to me.

"It's there anything else you are keeping from me."

I shake my head but then nod.

"I uh have a date with a woman name Jane who also happens to be a gangster and I have two new friends who are together name Regina and Emma."

"Jesus what the fuck has been happening?"

I shrug not knowing what to say. She sighs and passes a hand through her brown hair. It's silent and I finish getting ready.

"Just be careful Maura."

"I will."

I can't promise her because I know it's not in my hands. I'm starting to date a gangster and I'm a stripper there isn't much carefulness in that. We go to the mall and talk about everything except for this new live she isn't part of. I get myself a new dress and heels and even though we don't talk about it she helps me get ready. It's almost 8 and I find myself pacing the floors of my living room nervous. I hear a knock and I know is her. I open it and I see her there standing in a nice pair of black trousers, a white buttons down and a black blazer. She hands me the rose she is holding and I blush.

"You look beautiful."

"Thank you."

I say as I grab the offer hand. We get to her car which isn't her black Escalade but a white Mercedes. I whistle and she chuckles. She opens the door for me and I look at her with gratitude because you don't find that anymore.

"Such a gentlewoman." I wink and she chuckles again.

We drive to the nicer part of Boston. We stop at a restaurant that looks more expensive than three months of my rent put together. I have never been brought to such a nice place. She comes and opens my door and helps me out. We walk inside.

"Ah Jane how good to see you." Says and old man in a thick Italian accent.

"Korsak my man." They hug and kiss in each cheek.

"Chi è la bella signora?" he says in Italian.

"Questa è la bella Maura , la mia data." Oh how sexy she just sounded speaking Italian.

She looks at me and winks. He grabs my hand and kisses it.

"Nice to meet you."

"Likewise."

He takes us to a private part of the restaurant. We sit in the most secluded area pf the restaurant and we are left alone with a bottle of their finest wine. The setting is so romantic and the music helps set the mood.

"So Maura what's a beautiful girl like you working in such a place?"

"Well I couldn't pay for college so I got kicked off; I lost my job and my tiny apartment so I moved back here. My friend Mariana helped me get an apartment but I still needed a job and well here I am." She nods and I bite my lip but I have to ask.

"So what about you? What made you want to become the most dangerous gangster out there?"

I hope I didn't cross any line but I am curious. She looks at me and smiles and so I return it. She takes a sip of her wine.

"I was born into it." She shrugs. "My father was the one who created all the things I am running now, I am the only child. I was taught nothing more than how to run this business the only thing I know how to do really and I have been running it for a while but my father just died recently and so now I'm in full control."

"I'm sorry."

"Nah it wasn't your fault."

After that we didn't talk about much of our jobs. We did talk about some things in our past. I had a great time and was sad when the night was coming to an end. We are parked in front of my house and I look at her.

"Would you like to come up for a drink?" I find myself asking.

She smiles and nods. We both get out of the car ad walk to my door. We get in my apartment and I walk to the kitchen while she takes her blazer and boots off.

"I have beer and tequila."

"Beer." She says and I somehow knew she was going to say that.

I walk to her with two beers in my hand. I walk to her and pass her, her beer and sit next to her. She smiles her thanks and takes a big gulp. It's silent as we both drink.

"So what you want to do now?" she asks.

I look at her and bite my lip. Oh god what is happening to me it's like whenever she is around I can't control myself. I lean close to her and kiss her gently. I grab her beer bottle and put it in the coffee table next to mine. I hitch my dress up and straddle her lap.

"Maura-"

"Sh" I say as I lean in again.

This time the kiss has more force into it; our tongues take part in it. I feel her hands grip my thighs as I slowly rock my body to hers. We make out for like 5 minutes until her phone rings. I sigh and get off her in a huff. She looks at me apologetically and picks up.

"What? Hum….shit I'll be there in a bit."

I'm already standing and making my way to the kitchen with our bottles.

"I have to go."

"Yeah I can see that."

She walks to me and kisses me again.

"I'll see you tomorrow at the club."

With that she walks away and closes the door behind her. I smile to myself because even though we didn't get to the part where I wanted I at least got her.
