Chapter 28

Ryan sat in her car in front of Melissa's house. The day of the meeting as they had talked had arrived.

   "She better come quickly" She spoke to Rosie and Karen over the phone "I just can't get to see her suffer".

   They talk more, planning on a perfect idea for a freshman. If they try to link her up immediately she might want to object, so the only option was to make her a stripped.

   Karen chuckled, Being a stripper seems kind of a simple, but hard task. She imagines Melissa dancing half-naked on the Table.
  Frankly, if Karen knew how to dance, she would prefer to dance than have sex with random men, almost every day.

   Of course, Karen happens to still be young but she had done what mature people couldn't think of. Every moment she does something bad, her mother's phrase, the one she told her last before she left London, seems to replay itself in her head.

   "Tonight, you are young, but know, you have this body for a while" She recalls "Once it's morning, your body becomes old, because we have to live young for one night".

   Even up to this very day, young adults still find it hard to understand what older people mean by 'tonight we are young, they just want to live their lives to the fullest.

     "Hey, guys" Ryan shush "She is coming".

  Ryan forced herself to smile as she waves to Melissa.

  " Fucking happy girl" She rolled her eyes.

If only Melissa knew what was awaiting her, trying to dine with the devil would be the worst idea she had ever had.

   Ryan wasn't the fair type, she just stares at Melissa with hate, hidden inside her moist eyes. She had the most wonderful relationship with Molly until Dickson came into the picture.

   It all started like a movie, where Dickson caught her cheating with one of his friends. Of course, she begged him not to tell Molly which he accepted if only he would have sex with her. She refused in two words, boldly telling him to his face to 'fuck off, she can as well remember his reply that was also two words.

   'With pleasure'.

  Days later, Ryan noticed Molly's changed attitude which she was not too surprised to notice. She was hoping to explain what really happened to the love of her life. Even if she has to explain how she got drunk in a club, someone took her to his house and waited for her to become conscious the next day before he could even talk about sex.

   In the whole eighteen years, she had spent on earth, she had never seen or heard about any other person that can resist such an urge even when she had to shear his clothes and strip just because her doggy hormones were high.

   The sudden knock on the door made her realize that she had wandered far. She quickly wipes the tears off her face before she opened the door.

   "Ryan" Melissa cried immediately she entered and began to buckle the seat belt "Ryan I'm so sorry, I had to practice my violin".

   "It's okay" Ryan Blurted, she caught the slightest change of emotion in Melissa's brown eyes "I'm just so hungry after waiting here for almost a lifetime".

   Melissa chuckled, her big brown eyes lit with joy as her freckled face true pink. Her cheeks were protruded, she was shaking but she still doesn't want to laugh it out.

    Ryan and Melissa's eyes locked for a while, time froze and stayed still like they were locked in their fantasy Island.
   Poor Ryan, who whole reason Molly wasn't telling her was right in front of her, the reason Molly officially and secretly broke her heart was right in front of her.

   The spooky eyes, the full sexy lips, the voice of an angel, the perfect body shape, the freckles, and the attractive Redhair!
   The cute breathtaking smile on her face wasn't helping.

   With a flat expression on her face, Ryan started the engine. She focused on the road, ignoring the tempting desire to run her car into the mall close to Melissa's apartment so they could both die.

    She blinked, realizing what she was thinking wasn't a good idea, so instead, she thought about taking Melissa to her house, drugging her, tying her up, and killing her.

   Wait, she thought about adding rape.
Since Melissa is so attractive, raping her before killing then dispose the body at night would be another bad idea.

  'Ryan'

Still deep about what to do, she omitted Melissa's sweet voice.
  She texts Rosie and Karen with her left hand while she drives with the right.

   Ryan: What do you guys think about a stripper in Dark Knight club?
Rosie: ?‍♀️
Karen: That place is very popular!
Ryan: That's the point. I want to make sure she gets too far on her own.
Rosie: sounds like a perfect idea, but how are you going to do it?

   Ryan chuckled, still not paying attention to Melissa.

     Ryan: Leave that to me, the owner of the place is my father's friend.
   Rosie: The one you ??
  Ryan: I Will keep you updated.

    No one saw that coming, not even Melissa that just took a picture of Ryan and post on her social media account, with the caption " Black Princess ?, do not drive and chat".

   Sharply, enough to keep them both alive, Ryan turned the wheel to her left, avoiding the SUV coming in front of her. At the same time, she turned to her right, just after she had avoided the car, trying to prevent herself from running into children playing in front of an ice-cream van.

   Great news, she stopped just two centimeters away from them. Her breath was head, same as Melissa, whose red hair had covered her face.

  "This is where I know I don't deserve a driving license" Melissa yelled "Do you know how awesome you are?".

   Ryan shook her head in disbelief, they almost died or killed two cute and innocent kids and all she could talk about was her driving license and how awesome she is.

   " You are impossible, Melissa" Ryan started the car back "I can't believe you almost let us die".

   " seriously" Melissa yelled, "I have been calling you for hours".

   Them it click, Ryan actually heard Melissa's call but she was expecting to attend to it later. Her eyes moved to an envelope Melissa was holding.

    " First of all" she drove off "Second, I don't want my face to be all over the news and Internet".

   They both stared at themselves before bursting into laughter.

   " I was about jumping out," said Melissa "If not for the determination of your face, I would have been a corpse, in the middle of the road, dead! With my fuck up brain out".

   With her mouth and eyes wide open, Ryan watched Melissa like she was from another planet. Seriously, she had not recovered from the car and Melissa was talking about another bad way to die.

   "I had jumped out of a moving car before"  Melissa gave Ryan the envelop "I was having my driving class which I failed badly".

   " You jumped out of the MOVING car?" Ryan intoned.

  "Yeah".

  " No wonder you dared to talk about the most horrible way to die" Ryan's face frowned.

   "Yep," Melissa shrugged "That was how my grandmother died" her face dropped "She was hurled out of a moving car".

   Silent dropped, Melissa couldn't stop the thought she was having. While Ryan just doesn't have the right words to use.

   " I'm so sorry?" She said, more like a question"What is the envelope for".

   "Half payment of your phone".

  Ryan stayed mute for a moment, she had forgotten about the phone and the payment but she still acts along, as that could be a way to hold her to function with her.

   "Complete payment?".

   "No" Melissa smiled "But I promise to complete as soon as you help me get the work" Ryan nodded "So you were saying something about been a dancer".

    Now the party begins, two days ago when Melissa and Ryan talked, they talked about so many things that she couldn't remember but since she wants her to be a stripper that is what she would suggest.

   " Can you dance at a table?".

   Melissa smiled "Of course I can dance" She touches her face "I literally dance in front of many people if you are worried I would be shy".

   "it's not about been nervous," Ryan said "Can you be a stripper?".

  Melissa felt embarrassed, she looked out the window hiding the tears forming in her eyes. If her father had been around none of her problems.

   She would forever be grateful to the stranger that had sent some money to her and choose to remain secret.

  With a straight, she turned to Ryan who had a boring expression.

   " You can say no if you d-".

   "I will do it" Melissa interrupted "That's the only job that would make me earn fast money, go for studies, dance practice, and online lectures".

    Ryan smiled " Is that a yes?" Melissa nodded "Let's get you to my game".
