Before him was the lady he met in the morning, the one who slapped him.
The lady scoffed at him, got up and picked up her bag to leave, when he suddenly held her hand and pleaded with her.
"Please don't leave. Let's just conclude this date, my life and allowance depends on it."
"Allowance? You still get allowance from your parents at twenty-five?" The lady asked and started laughing, some people around stared at her. She dropped her bag and sat down.
"I guess we are fated to be together. Josefina Alberto." Diego said with a flirty smile.
"Here we go again. Would you like another slap, this time on the left side?" Josefina asked raising her hand, he swiftly moved away from her reach.
"Offcourse not my darling."
"I am glad I came on this date even though I was forced to by that old man." Diego said crossing his legs together and she asked.
"Old man?"
"The old man who hooked us up." Diego replied and winked at her.
"What rubbish! Who is hooked up with you? I am sure it's not me." Josefina said disgusted by what he was doing.
Diego snapped his finger at the bartender and got himself a Bacardi Zombie and a margarita for Josefina.
"Get me the same thing you are getting." Josefina said rejecting what he ordered for her.
"Oh my but don't get drunk, I can't carry you because I am sure you weigh more than you look." Diego said mocking her and she answered him.
"I love dares, bring it on."
She took out her phone and checked the time, then her dad's word came ringing in her head.
"Don't you dare come home drunk or else I will cut off your allowance completely."
"So annoying." She said aloud in her frustration.
"What is?" Diego asked and she replied him.
"Have you ever been considered the most useless child before because that is exactly how my dad sees me. He hates my guts, vigour to enjoy life and especially, he hates my face.
Whenever I attend a family event or anything that brings the whole family together, I feel like an outcast because everyone else is classy and sofisticated. Even my older siblings don't consider my existence any more, do you know how annoying it is?
How would you know, you have always been pampered. Even your profile say the exact opposite of you, I guess that's your granddad covering up for you."
"Have I ever been considered useless? Yes, everyday by that old man who calls himself my granddad but when it comes to my mom and grandma, I am their special little boy.
So yes, i might not totally get the outcast feeling." Diego replied with a smile.
She smiled back and said to him cheerfully.
"That's why I am happy to have found Antonio, he loves me a lot and understands me perfectly."
"I understand you too. How is Antonio better than me?" Diego said trying to show a feeling of jealousy.
"Because he is FUCKING awesome." Josefina said loudly and pointed at the DJ on stage.
That's my Antonio AKA on fire! She screamed happily and jumped up to cheer Antonio on.
He saw her raising her hands in the crowd and acknowledged her before everyone.
"My all in all is here tonight to cheer me on, shout-out to Josefina. I love you babe."
Diego realized at that moment that he has lost the only woman he had an interest in and that upset him gravely.
"I will be back." He said into Josefina's ear, she was already busy dancing to the music that was being played.
Diego walked quickly into the bathroom and bumped into one of the club strippers. She was on her way to the stage for a pole dance.
"Uh, sorry." He apologized and left in a hurry.
She was wearing a mask but she saw his own face and then said to herself.
"He looks familiar." She shook off the thought and quickly went into the club.
Mylar got ready to go to the nightclub, she said to goodbye to her siblings and when she went out and stood by the road waiting for a taxi to pass by, she saw Jaden. He rode passed her and then reversed.
"Can I drop you off?" He asked from the driver's seat and she replied.
"You are already close to your house, why take the trouble."
"It's no trouble. I just want to be of help to you." He said and smiled.
She opened the door of the passenger's seat and entered the car.
"Thanks." She said after fastening her seatbelt.
"Where should I take you?" Jaden asked as he moved the car.
"Magic City Club." Mylar said and Jaden wondered why Mylar was going to a strip club.
Diego came back from the bathroom and found Josefina seating down with her glass cup in her hand.
"I thought you've decided to spend the rest of your life in the restroom considering how long it took for you to get back." Josefina said to Diego as he sat down and he chuckled at her word.
"If there was no Antonio in the picture, would you have considered turning this date into a serious relationship?" Diego asked suddenly that she almost choked on her drink.
"Maybe." Josefina answered after a while.
"Maybe sounds hopeful but unfortunately for me, I will have to meet my next date tomorrow." Diego said with a frown.
"Tell me about this date situation and about your granddad, the old man." Josefina said and smiled at her own word.
"We are here." Jaden announced and Mylar thanked him, she opened the door to get down but he stopped her.
"Let's get down together. I will also like to go into the club, it's been long I came, perhaps three years ago."
"Do you have to come in tonight?" Mylar asked and he said.
"Why? Is there something bad happening tonight. I want to come in and have a little bit of fun and have a glass or two glases of beer."
She had no choice but to let him in, at least he will get to see this other side of her. She got dressed in a sexy lingerie and went to the restroom to drain out her nervousness.
She got on stage and suddenly, the bumming club became silent as she came out from behind the poll. Her body all oily and inviting, she held unto the poll and danced seductively around it.
She did a bit of acrobatics and the crowd went wild screaming at the top of their lungs, some of the nasty old men pulled out their tongues like dogs while staring at her pussy which was slightly open.
Judging by how Jaden kept straining his eyes to see the stripper closely, he was suspicious of the person behind the mask, he looked around but couldn't find Mylar anywhere.
A man well into his fifties who was a regular customer at the club, threw bundles of dollar notes at her and asked for a lap dance. She seductively got down from stage and walked towards the man.
She sat on his lap and gave him the most erotic lap dance, the customers have ever seen while he caressed her body like a hungry lion. He wanted to kiss and suck on her tities but she slowly moved away.
He was already moaning like he was having sex when she got up from his lap and went back on stage.
And Jaden finally got to see her up close, he himself was aroused by the entire demonstration that he wished he was the one getting the lap dance.
Diego called for her and asked for a lap dance, he was mesmerized by her body and wanted nothing more than to touch it but she didn't answer him, she politely ignored his request and continued entertaining everyone.
The men were just drooling over her and those with lots of cash, poured away their money at her feet.
The dance ended a while later and Mylar quickly went to the bathroom but Diego who was upset that the stripper ignored him despite his money went after her.
In front of the bathroom, he caught hold of her hand and said to her.
"I can add more money for you, all I want is an opportunity to touch your amazing body."
Mylar ignored him and again and tried to leave when he grabbed her and started kissing her body, he pinned her hands above her head on the wall and continued taking advantage of her.
Hey! Someone yelled from behind and pulled him away from her. She quickly moved behind her savior.
"She's just a stripper." Diego said and Jaden responded.
"Don't strippers also have human rights."
"I tipped her, that's the money on the floor." Diego said in his defense pointing at the money on the floor.
"No you didn't, you are just an animal trying to take advantage of a weak woman." Jaden said and landed Diego a blow in his stomach.
He crouched down in pain and Jaden took Mylar with him.
After Josefina looked waited for a while for Diego to come back and he didn't, she went to her boyfriend and they started talking.
When Diego came back holding his stomach and saw her kissing her boyfriend. He got upset and left without informing her.
"How did you know it was me?" Mylar asked after they got into Jaden's car.
"Is that what matters, that guy was shamelessly forcing himself of you." Jaden said upset by Mylar's calmness over the matter.
"He is a customer, there's nothing I can do. You came there to save me from him and I guess that's all that matters." Mylar said to him looking down at her fingers.
Jaden moved closer to her and held her hands in his, and then he said to her lovingly.
"Even if a thousand men tried to harass you, I will always be there to protect you Mylar Tiffany Rodriguez."
"Why?" Mylar whispered.
"Because I have lost my mind. How and when did I fall for a woman I barely know but yet I can confidently say that I like you Mylar." Jaden said and moved so close to Mylar that her heart started beating.
She knew she wanted him, he was just so perfect and he felt so real to her. He moved his hand to her face and slowly brought his to hers and kiss her lips gently.
"Please give me a chance." Jaden said after moving away and she nodded her approval. He smiled and their lips locked again, this time, more passionately.
