I smile back at her and squeeze her hand reassuringly. “I appreciate that, I do but some people are worth all of the pain.”
“I just want you to be careful. You can’t change someone who doesn’t want to change,” she warns me.
I shake my head. “It’s not about changing him; it’s about freeing him.” Oak needs to be freed from his past.
“You see the good in everyone. And believe me I do love that about you but I’m also scared for you. I don’t want to see my best girl getting hurt.”
Throwing my arms around her I kiss her cheek before sinking into a hug. “I’ll be okay. You know I love you, right?”
Her arms tighten around me. “I love you, too.” After releasing me she then says, “Now let’s go over your routine one more time before your set tonight.”
I groan, getting up after her. “Do we have to?”
She smacks my ass and I yelp in surprise. “Yes, now get that ass on the pole.”
We end up going over the routine two more times. After my routine I can feel my muscles begin to sore and my core is absolutely killing me.
Whoever says stripping isn’t a workout needs to try it for themselves and then come back to me. Because my god I feel it deep in my bones.
I honestly don’t know how Sasha does it but I give all my kudos to her.
We’re in the back room now and she’s hyping me up before I hit the stage later tonight.
It’s a Friday night so the strip club will be busy. Sasha tells me the weekends are the best to work. The only reason I haven’t been is because I don’t like denying Connor the weekend at Vipers MC. And I also love being there.
Which is exactly why I called in a favor with Alice and asked if she could pick up Connor for me before I travel down there tomorrow morning.
She agreed easily and happily. And Connor was all too happy when I told him Alice would be picking him up from school today. The boy grew ten shades of red.
Alice had already texted me with a picture of her and Connor after she picked him up. Then she texted me again when they both made it safely back at the club house.
Letting him be in someone else’s hands is tough for me but there is no group of people that I trust more.
Thinking about him I send him a quick text.
Everything ok?
