hey I'm Roxanne and I'll be telling you a story that you may not believe. Hello and welcome to the first step of a journey that changed my life.

NY city is part of were I grew up me and my family had been here for two years , my family consisted of Ben my oldest brother , then Sara my sister after him, Colton my brother after her , Susan my sister after him , me then my little brother Jackson, and my youngest sister Elizabeth. My parents Rachel and Steve Richard were amazing parents they raised us well , we are all homeschooled my parents taught me how to bake, cook and taught me everything I know, but when I reached seventeen I learned that we had money problems and we were struggling with every pay check. So as soon as I was 18 I ran out and got two jobs one as a cashier in a seven eleven, and one as a waitress in a night club, now I know why would an 18 year old do something so stupid, but we needed the money and I was determined to get us what we needed. I love my family and no price was too high for them . I hated working at the night club so much , the sick men would look at me like they were starving. It made my skin crawl every time, but when ever I got close to saying something to them I'd repeat to myself "it's for your family , it's for your family" so I'd smile and keep going. I started to work overtime in hopes I'd be able to afford a birthday present for my sister Elizabeth her birthday was getting close, I only had 4 months to get enough money for a brand new bike for her so I was doing what ever I could. One night ......" Roxy I need a new dancer one of mine are sick I need you to cover for her" " what hell no I'm a waitress not a pole dancer , I , I don't even know how Brad, no I can't I'm sorry." " look a very special man is going to be in the club tonight , if we can impress him our club will get a big fund of money, every one will get a raise , and all the money that gets thrown on stage is all yours . Lucy come here , " " yeah Brad ?" " get Roxanne in to an outfit she's dancing tonight ." " alright let's go babe" wait I'm not ... but I ," "here put this on your on in 5 minutes" " wait I said I ca..." SLAM...nt seriously I don't even know the first thing about pole dancing, but I have seen the other girls do it and I know when you're good men throw a lot of cash on stage for you .......uhhhhh alright once and that's it , it can't be that bad can it?

author's note: hey just FYI this is my first story and I'm really trying I hope y'all like it**.

I could hear the loud music pounding in my ears , with every beat of the base my heart beat in sync with the rhythm and then it all stoped and I heard my song ( what's wrong with being confident , by demi lovato) I take a deep breath and start walking with the rhythm when I reach the pole I turned to the crowd and leaned down with my hand out touching the faces of the men in front , I slapped a fake smile on and walked into the crowd and began looking I don't know exactly what for but I was drawn to a very tall man in the crowd in a black suit with a reddish brown hair and stubble on his face I grabbed his hand and began to walk to the stage to my surprise he followed me and we got back on the stage and l sat him down and began to swing my body around the pole up and down and around after about two minutes of my dancing and the song stoped I picked up the stray cash and went behind the curtain , and into the dressing room I sat and collected my breath for a minute just then Brad crashed into my dressing room" Roxy what the hell were you thinking??" " I..I..I don't know I just did what you asked what's wrong?" That guy you just danced for is the owner of the company, he owns night clubs like this all over the state !" " what!!!!??? and I just practically gave him a lap dance, oh shit am I in any trouble??" "He he wants to see you. he's in my office " " OMG OMG " ok I was on my way to what I had thought was my doom and on my way I had thought....( in Roxy's head) he's a tough guy right the only way to deal with a tough guy is to show no weakness so I'll just turn my attitude meter all the way up. I walked into the office and there he was sitting in the chair with his legs on the desk crossed one over the other a snide smile on his face, I stood there waiting for him to say something after what I consider and agonizing long silence I speak up ," if you called me hear for a reason I suggest you tell me otherwise I have more important things to do" he waited and still said nothing " alright if that's all your gonna do then " I turned on my heels and took two strides to reach the door but the second my hand touched the handle I felt his hands on my waist in seconds he turned me around leaned down and stuck his nose in the crook of my neck and took a deep breath and said " what kind of things?" his voice was deep and just the sound of it made me buckle at my knees .I looked up at his eyes and he had the most incredible bright blue eyes the kind you could just swim in and I felt myself getting lost , "well ?" "what ? " his question brought me back to reality " what kind of things my little ball of fire" " what , what do you mean, and don't call me that you snide sack of shit"

to be continued 😁

"what kind of things are more important than staying here with me , my little ball of fire." " I uh I'm , ( irh girl get your thoughts together,) I said don't call me that , and anything is more important than standing here and letting you smell me you perv, now if you'll excuse me I have money to earn!"I put my hand on his chest and shove him as hard as I can, he giggles a bit and steppe's back , I stand there for a sec and he acted as if he was undressing me with his eyes I know because I see that look a thousand times a day , but from him it didn't make my skin crawl as a matter of fact it made ' the land down under get a little hot ' if you know what I mean, but then it pissed me off !! This man who was such a feared and respected man was no better than those pervs I give drinks too every day I was seething in rage I turned grabbed the door handle swung it open a charged out slammed the door behind me marched to the end of the hallway looked Brad in the eyes and said " I told you I didn't want to do the dance , but I did now I'm going home I expect to be paid for my missing hours or else!" As I marched to the door said goodbye to the security guard John who had saved my *** in this club more times than I could count got in my car and went to the bike shop Wich I cought just as they are closing and asked to come in to buy a bike the one Elizabeth had been looking at for two months ,( meanwhile) Brad: sooo what did you guys talk about sir?Arron: who is that girl ? Brad: That sir was Roxanne Richard she was one of my waitresses but I was short a dancer tonight so she filled in now I know we don't do specific dances but it was her first time so she didn't know what she was doing please don't be mad sir. Arron: Don't worry I'm not mad but I don't want her doing any more dances ever again .Brad: sir I don't think she was that bad.Arron: Ever again am I clear!Brad: yes sir! Arron: I also want her records as soon as possible , I want to know everything about that girl.( back with Roxy)" Thank you sir it's perfect here this is all the money I reconsidered doing the weekly payments" "your welcome mam and if I were you I'd hurry home it's not safe to run around at night in this town" Roxy: thank you sir but I can take care of my self I appreciate the concern. I left the store but on my way to the car I felt a pair of eyes following me , so I picked up the pace a bit. Just as I reached the car a hand grabbed my arm and swung me around to face them.............
