It was a long night filled with tears and anguish.
My mind torn on what to do.

The next day, I went back to the club, I needed to be in my element.

The girls were still living carefree and filled with laughs and fuck me heels.

"Aries, you've been M.I.A for days." Vanessa says and hugs me.

It even felt good to see her annoying ass.

"How's the club holding up?" I ask and turn around.

"Still not the same without you and Damon's bumpy vibe." Rochelle says and I smile genially.

If only they knew...

"Come for one last show?" I hear and turn around to look into the eyes of Harry.

"Harry." I say flatly and I purse my lips.

He smiles slimly and walks forward.
"Good to see you back." He simply says and then turns away.

I frown and turn to look at the girls, my smile slowly forming.

I turn and go towards the large closet as I hear Frank Oceans relevant song called Pyramids being played.

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Set the cheetahs on the loose.

I smile and grab a black body suit outfit.

Oh, oh oh, oh, there's a thief out, on the loose.

I grab the silver heels, the one that give me blisters but the ones I love the most and head back to my mirror.

Underneath our legions views.

I quickly do my hair and add dark makeup, letting my real hair fall to my shoulders, and put on bright red lipstick.

They have taken Cleopatra...Cleopatra.

I sighed and walked over towards my heels, slipping them on as I changed and looked towards the stage.

That's where I needed to be.

I slowly walked behind Rochelle, watching her dance around for her solo.

My heart began to beat hard in my chest as the music took me away.

Big sun coming through the motel blinds
Wake up for your girl...for now let's call her Cleopatra...Cleopatra.

I walked on the stage.

Instant roar of applause exploded into the air, my body moving seductively.

I watch you fix your hair and put your panties on in the mirror...Cleopatra.

I close my eyes and grab into the pole, leaning my head back and feeling my pain leave.
My worries disappeared as I lifted myself up.

Then your lipstick...Cleopatra.

I lift my legs up and entwine them, feeling my body hand upside down while I move sensually and gracefully.

Then your 6 inch heels catch her...

I look up and stare at the lustful men.

She's headed to the pyramids...

I smile and slowly slide down the pole.

She's working at the pyramids tonight...

I continue to dance erotically, hearing my name being whispered by many men.

I see the money.
I hear the chanting.

I dance for what feels like hours but is only a few minutes until my act has come to an end.

I leave the money on the stage, hearing them whistle, asking me to return.

I take off my heels and sit in the couch and lay there.

It felt like old times again.



I didn't know I snoozed off until I woke up and only a few girls remained.

"Clubs closing baby girl." Vanessa says to me and I rub my eyes.

"I'll close up." I suddenly rush out and she tosses me the key.

I wait until they leave and walk over to my mirror area.

I smile as instant memories rush through my head.

I remember I was so excited to be apart of the family.

I turn behind me and walk towards the stage.

It's empty and I look at the poles, I remember my first performance.

"Can I get a private dance beautiful?" I hear from behind me.

It's Raphael.

I cant help but smile.

"Raphael Underwood isn't it? What's a married good looking man like you doing here?" I ask and walk over to him.

"I'm a man who can't deny a good time with a beautiful woman like yourself." He says and I smirk.

"What are you doing here?" He finally asks and I shrug.

"Come to dance?" He asks and I nod a little.
I suddenly hear music play...soft contemporary music and look over at him.

"Come to dance with a lost little girl?" I ask and he smiles.

"Only if you came to dance with a lost little boy."

He grabs my hand and lifts me back.

The music playing softly.

He spins me and twirls me back into his arms, leaning my leg between his legs before getting kicked up.

I feel passion.

Heat.

It's electrifying.

It's turning me around. Filling me differently than when I was dancing earlier.

I turn and lift my leg up across his shoulder as he dips me again slowly.

He lifts me up gracefully and then back down again.

The music builds and the tears in my eyes begin to spill.

"Don't cry Angel." He whispers as we continue to dance.

He saw me as an Angel when all my life...I was the Devil.

We were spinning faster...high off the ground...my eyes burned as he held me close...the climax reaching.

Oh my God...

I was...

"Raphael?" I whisper and he holds me close, kissing my forehead.
"What?"


"I'm in love with you." I whisper.

He hold my chin and stares into my eyes, past everything.

"I've been waiting for the day you said that. I've never knew love until I met you." He whispers,

So that was it:

I was just a stripper.
One supposedly named Aries.

I'm a runaway.
A fugitive.
Why would I expect to noticed by Raphael Underwood?

A European Model God everyone wanted. He had money, fame, a wife and a past.
But that didn't stop the fact, I was madly in love with him.

But it also don't stop the fact, I was right back to square one.

I was going back to my old life.

I was no longer Aries.

I was Roselyn Merchant.

~*~*~
I deleted my authors note about what happened to me. I don't want sympathy or for people I did it for attention.

I'm updating until the book is over. I had a lot planned but oh well. In putting it all into these chapters.

Next chapter being written now, should be up in about 15 minutes.

I love you guys .
