AN: So here's the second chapter. The story is primarily in Bella's POV but sometimes we will hear from Rosalie.
Chapter 2
RPOV
I had to get out of there. There was no way around it. If I kept staring into her hazel eyes I would have given in right then and there and who knows what would have happened. Oh who am I kidding, I know exactly what would have happened. All I knew was that I need to avoid her from now on and I will be able to keep my job and not have to worry about how I'm going to make ends meet.
I run back to the back, change my clothes and leave as fast as I could.
I got home finally and let the babysitter leave. Yes you read that right babysitter. See the main reason I can't lose this job is because of my daughter. My daughter, Sophie, is two years old. Her father is a deadbeat who took off as soon as he heard I was pregnant. I was a sophomore in college when I met Mike Newton. He had the All-American look, blond hair, blue eyes and he was the quarterback on the football team. We started dating and then 6 months later I found out that I was pregnant. The day after I told Mike that I was pregnant he was gone. His parents helped him transfer to another school and I haven't heard from him since. When my parents found out, they cut me off. I had some money saved from the weekly allowance that they gave me so I used that to move to Houston, sell my cherry red BMW convertible for a Chevy Impala so I could fit the baby in safely, and pay rent for a year. I knew I would have to find a job because where I wanted to stay was a bit pricey. I knew a regular fast food job wouldn't do and when all else failed I started stripping after Sophie was born. It's been Sophie and I ever since.
The last strip club I worked at got shut down because the owners and other strippers were selling and taking drugs and prostituting. It was horrible. The police raided on a night that I was working and I was arrested as well. When the undercover cops identified me as an innocent party in all this they released me, but I was out of work. I had heard about the Crazy Wolf from some friends so I found one of the owners. She let me audition and I got the job. I was so thankful, but now I'm second guessing it. I mean how can she expect me to just risk it all when I don't even know her and I have a huge responsibility at home. Maybe if it was just me then sure I would go for it but it's not.
I go to my room and jump in the shower to wash off the stink and feel of the nasty men that touched me. After I'm done with that I go to Sophie's room. Luckily Sophie looks mostly like me. The only thing she really got from Mike was his nose. She has my violet color eyes and blond hair like both mine and Mike's. Sophie is my saving grace in this world. I may not have thought that in the beginning but she really and truly is the only person in this world I know won't leave me.
This thought leads me to think of Bella again. I just met her and I can't get her out of my head. I just need to keep reminding myself that I'm doing this to support myself and Sophie. I need to remember that I need this job more than a relationship and that dating the boss would not be the best idea at all.
The Next Day
I walked into work the next night hoping to all that I would not see Bella. As I actually walk in I'm trying to not to look obvious as I look around for her and I get lucky and don't see her. So maybe she isn't coming in today.
By the end of my shift I hadn't seen Bella at all. I took this as a good thing, but I can't figure out what this feeling in my chest is and it is driving me crazy because it won't go away.
It has now been a week since I started at the club and it's been a week since I saw Bella. I can't describe the feelings that I have and they won't go away. All I can think about is her. Her smile that I saw for a short time, the way her eyes shone when I was staring into them. I miss her and I don't even know why, I don't know her. But there she is constantly, even in my dreams.
I have been dreaming of her all week. Every time I close my eyes she's there. There is absolutely no escaping her. When I'm on stage, I hope and pray that she is out there watching me and I hope that she knows that I'm dancing for her. She's all that I see anymore and its only been a week.
BPOV
It has been one week since I talked to Rosalie, one long ass week of me hiding in my office spying on her from the window. I see her as she walks in and looks around, she tries not to be obvious about it but she is. I just hope that she's looking for me. I see her dance on stage and watch as she looks out into the audience and I still hope she's looking for me, that she's dancing for me.
Alice came back yesterday and she's been pestering me about what's changed about me. I don't want to tell her about Rosalie, at least not yet.
"So who's the girl that has you all twisted? Have you finally met the one?" Alice asks.
"I haven't met anyone and I don't know what you are talking about." I stated. This probably would have been a lot more effective if Rosalie hadn't walked in because all I could do was stare at her.
"So no one's name is Rosalie. What's going on between you two? Have you asked her out yet?"
"Nothing's been going on with us. I asked her out the first night she worked. She said no because I'm her boss and she has too much to lose if things go bad between us. I feel like I want to give her the world, ya know. I want to spend my money on her and make it so she doesn't have to work, but I don't even know why this job is so important to her." I tell Alice.
"So what exactly is the plan here to get her to give you a chance?" she asked me.
"I don't know yet. Anyway how was the trip to London? How did little Stevie behave since his mommy's wouldn't leave him here?" I asked her. Did I forget to mention that Victoria and Alice have a one year old son, my godson? Yeah, they were really sure from the start that they were it for each other.
"He was okay, didn't like the plan ride too much but he was okay otherwise. London was nice, I still wish she would have taken me to Paris, but beggars can't be choosers I guess. It was nice to have a family vacation although next time little Stevie is staying with Auntie Bella so his Mommies can have some alone time." She ends with a smirk.
"Well I would love to have him." I tell her.
"That's good because we were wondering if you could watch him over the weekend. Please?" she begged me.
"Yeah I will. Hopefully he can distract me from Rosalie."
"Okay, so you can pick him up tonight then or I can have Victoria bring him here when you leave."
"Yeah, tell Vic to bring him here whenever and you can watch the club for the night together." I tell Alice and she is already on the phone with Victoria.
"Okay. Victoria is on her way here." She tells me.
"Well you guys are in a hurry aren't you?" I smirk at her.
On my way out of the building to meet Vic I run into Rosalie. When we touch hands, tingles run up and down my arms. I hear gasp as she rips her hands out of my own and hurries to the back house.
I wonder what these tingles are. I can still feel them.
