001 Love sacrifice

Ava Vasquez

"Ava darling, he's here, please don't keep him waiting for too long," Victoria said while walking closer to where I stood, lost in thought. 

"Hmmm," I hummed and turned to face her.

"Don't be like that Ava, I promise you it's not as bad as you think" Victoria said, patting my shoulders.

I had just accepted to work in Victoria's club, club forte as a private dancer, I just had to do it to save Damien's mom, who is on the verge of dying if nothing is done.

I love Damien so much that I can't imagine seeing him in so much pain, I still can't shake off the tears I saw in his eyes the last time I was at his place, he was really going through a lot and I just had to help.

Even though I was yet to meet Damien's mom after dating him for three years now, well she seemed really sick and Damien said I was going to meet her when she gets better.

I had to quit my other job, the money I was making there was barely enough to pay my bills, let alone help Damien out, I've sent all my savings to Damien to support him in paying off part of his mom's hospital bills.

I had talked to my best friend Emilia about my decision and as crazy as it may sound, she encouraged me to do it, she said it would help grow the love Damien has for me and I think she's right, doing this will make Damien see how much I love him and how much sacrifices I'm willing to make for him.

I had to reach out to Victoria, my late aunt's best friend, who had always got my back since I was little, I mean she's not the type that judges anyone, so it wasn't much of a hassle convincing her to let me work there, even though I didn't tell her what I needed the money for.

I went to meet her at the club a few days back and surprisingly she called to let me know that I have an anonymous client already, who requested that I dance for him only and he's offering an amount that no client has paid before.

Victoria said she would have appointed another dancer to handle it, seeing that I wasn't ready to start yet but the client specifically said it was me he wanted and she didn't have any other choice than to call me.

At first, I thought it was weird and strange at the same time, considering the fact that I hadn't even danced before at the club, I had a lot of questions going through my head, why me? How could he choose an amateur over professional dancers who have been dancing at the club, I didn't expect to get a client so easily but I was happy that I could make money to help with the hospital bills as soon as possible. 

Plus, Victoria said the money he offered was a lot and I can't even afford to have cold feet now.

I suddenly wanted to see this man who is willing to pay this much, just for a dance section with me

"He's going to be on a mask, why?" I asked curiously, bearing a blank expression.

"I guess he's just playing safe, and the strange thing is that he's a first-time client and he offered to pay this much" Victoria added.

"I can't wait to be over and done with this, I need this money badly" I murmured.

"He's in the VIP room over there" Victoria muttered, pointing towards a room.

I was in a transparent pin-down top that hugged my body so tightly, bringing out all my juicy curves, damn I was so hot! I felt bad at first doing this because this is not the life I wanted for myself but then love is compromise they say, I had to do this for the one I love.

I thought Damien would be mad when I mentioned working at club forte as a private dancer but he wasn't, I guess he didn't have much of an option, hence the reason he didn't stop me, though I expected him to have at least try to talk me out of it but then again my mind was made up, I was still going to do it anyways even if he tried stopping me.

I catwalked my way through the hallway and soon I was standing in front of the room, Victoria had directed me to.

I took a deep breath before I slid the door open, my eyes gleamed as I saw him sitting on the couch with a mask on, he was sipping a glass of wine when I entered, there was dim blue light in the room, shining so brightly and it gave the room a colorful ambiance. 

His body was perfectly built, and the tattoo on his arms gave him this playboy vibe, I suddenly imagined what he would look like without the mask.

He didn't say anything as I entered, I figured he doesn't talk much and maybe he wanted me to go straight to business. Victoria had tutored me on how to dance and how to carry myself, and I must say I was doing excellently well with the way I walk and carry myself. 

I slowly walked to where he sat, bent down and seductively took his glass of wine from him and kept it on the table beside him.

"Tequila, hmmm, nice choice," I said, strolling my hand down to his chest, I turned to position myself for a lap dance when he suddenly stopped me.

"Ava right?" he asked.

"Yeah" I answered, still awed at how he got to know my name but I waved off the thought when I figured that Victoria must have told him.

"Can we not dance today? Let's just talk" he said sternly and I glared at him, wondering what he wanted to talk about. 

"Talk?" I questioned again to make sure I heard him right.

"Hmmm," he hummed in approval. 

"Who talks in a private dance section?" I thundered, I was beginning to get pissed.

"I do," he said boldly but yet calmly.
