I'm just hoping to God he doesn't embarrass me and fire me in front of his friends. Mr. Moretti masked his face and I couldn't for the life of me tell what he was thinking.

"You two know each other?" The blonde asked and I wasn't gonna say anything.

I already fucked myself by making my presence known to Mr. Moretti.

"You two." He looked to the two men. "Get the fuck out."

Yep. Definitely fired. At least he has the decency so do it in private.

"You're not playing fair Lorenzo. I'm the one who asked for her." The blonde said.

"Does it look like I give a fuck? Get out!" Mr. Moretti's voice was deep and dangerous.

"Or what?" He was just messing with him at this point.

"Don't fucking test me Liam." Mr. Moretti's jaw ticked and I was honestly getting scared for him.

"Alright alright." He backed away smiling with his hands up.

The other guy just smirked at Lorenzo. Both him and Liam walked out the door.

"So you're a dancer?" He asked.

"Yes."

"How long?"

"A year now."

I was a bit confused on why he was asking these questions. He nodded to himself and looked deep in thought for a moment before his jaw ticked and he masked his expression once again. Now I know he does this when he's pissed.

"You're not gonna be Liam's or anyone else's personal dancer." He stated and I gave him a confused look.

"Excuse me? And why not?" I asked, folding my arms over my chest.

"Because I said so."

What the fuck?

"You may be my boss at HTM but you're not my boss here, so you don't get to tell me what to do." I told him annoyed with the fact that he was doing this right now.

"Samai," He warned. "Don't be stubborn."

"Do you know how crazy you sound right now? You barely acknowledge my existence at HTM and you didn't even know it was me two minutes ago. Now you're trying to tell me what I can and can't do?"

He looked even more pissed right now but at this point I didn't care. He must be a madman if he thought I was going to listen to him.

"I don't even know why you're doing all of this, aren't you going to fire me?"

"And why would I do that?" He cocked his head to the side studying me.

"You know what, it doesn't matter, I'm still not listening to you." I was about to turn around to collect my money and leave. He grabbed my hand before I could, he looked more calm now. It seems he was about to say something but he just smirked and let go of my hand.

"Okay Samai." He put in hands in his pocket as he watched my every move.

I felt so nervous about the fact that he was looking at me. At this point I wanted to say fuck the money and just leave but I worked hard for it. The fact that my whole ass was on display didn't help either. I walked out of the room and found Tina. I told her I wasn't feeling too well and I went home. On the drive home I kept thinking about the situation and each time it just made me pissed.

"Hey what are you doing back so early? You left like an hour ago." Chase said as I walked in.

"My stupid boss happened."

"Noo, we love Tina though. What did she do?"

"Not her, Lorenzo Moretti."

"Sex god was at the club!? Tell me details!"

I proceeded to tell him the events that went down at the club earlier. Including how weird I felt knowing that he basically saw me half naked. Chase soaked up everything and by the end he was grinning crazily.

"How am I supposed to walk into work and face him Monday. It's gonna be so freaking awkward." I dropped my face into the couch cushion.

"I think he probably likes you." Chase said.

" And I think you're mistaken. He barely even looks at me when we're at work."

"Yea but now he sees what you've been hiding under those grandma clothes. This is probably the first time he's seeing you with your hair down. If it's not the pantsuits it's the frocks, so of course he's gonna be shocked when sees you looking how you did earlier."

"I get that but it's still gonna be awkward as hell Monday, and you know we're the only ones on the floor. Now I'm not even sure if he's going to fire me or not I pretty much walked out on him after he tried to tell me I wasn't supposed be anyone's personal dancer."

"Stop over thinking and just go into work on Monday and pretend nothing happened. As for him telling you not to be a private dancer I think he doesn't want anyone else to see what you're working with." He wiggled his eyebrows and started smiling.

"Shut up he doesn't see me that way." I rolled my eyes.

"Soon you'll see." He winked. "Are you still going to the mall tomorrow?"

"Yea I need some new outfits."

"I shouldn't have overbooked myself this weekend. Send me pictures of everything you're buying. Can't have you bringing back any disasters and for fucks sake get some sexy work clothes!" He threw a pillow at me.

"You gon' stop coming for my clothes."

I knew my work clothes weren't the most fashionable but they were cheapest I could find and they were business casual so it works. I told myself once I handled these loans I would spend my money on some better clothes.

After eating some of the food Chase had made earlier, I took a shower and went to bed. Chase wasn't here when I woke up. He must've went to work already, he works at a salon in the lower east side as a nail tech.

I'm not even sure if I'm planning on going to Clubhouse tonight. I could just use today and tomorrow to relax. I guess I'll see how I feel after going to the mall.

I took a shower and put on my black romper. I left my hair to fall around my face, slipped on my sandals, grabbed my things and headed out the door. The drive to the mall was pretty quick, normally there would be traffic but not today.

I walked in the lingerie store and looked around to see if they had anything I liked. I found some that were similar in style to the one I wore last night. I took pictures and sent them to Chase. He loved them. I was getting really hungry. I probably should've made breakfast before I left.

"Raven?" I looked up to see the other dark haired guy that was with Lorenzo and Liam. "It is you. Ren look who it is!" He spoke to someone at the side.

Who the hell is Ren?

A second later Lorenzo emerged from behind the wall and I just wanted to die. I gave a awkward smile and wave. I wanted to sink in the ground when I saw the guy coming over to me with Lorenzo in tow.

"I didn't get a chance to introduce myself last night. I'm Dario, this idiot's younger brother." I briefly looked at Lorenzo who was already looking at me before I looked back to Dario.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." I gave him a friendly smile.

I felt a bit awkward since I had the lingeries hanging over my arm. I saw Lorenzo eyes flicker to the garments in my hand before he met my gaze.

"So are you shopping for work?" Dario asked looking around.

"Yea." I shifted from one foot to the other.

"We were just about to head to the food court would you like to come?" He had a really inviting smile.

"Oh no that's fine I'm not hungry." I answered. My stomach decided to be an asshole and started growling.

"You sure about that? I'm not taking no for an answer. We don't bite you know."

"Yet." I heard Lorenzo mutter under his breath and Dario not so subtly elbowed him.

"Fine but let me pay for my things and I'll meet you guys there."

"Don't ghost us now."

I was really thinking about doing that but I didn't wanna be rude. I turned and walked to the cashier. I put everything on the counter and waited for her to ring it up.

"Did you find everything okay?" The lady asked.

"Yes thank you."

"Okay your total will be $107.18." As I'm takin my card out to pay. I see a hand reach forward and give the cashier a card.

I looked behind me to see Lorenzo standing there casually. She hands him back his card and he grabbed the bags and started walking.

"Are you coming?" He asked when he saw I wasn't following him. I walked up to him and tried to take the bags.

"I can pay for my own things you know, and I can bring my own bags." He moved the bags so I couldn't take them.

"I'm well aware of that Samai. Come on, Dario's waiting for us." I huffed and started walking.

"Cute." I hear Lorenzo chuckle.

When we got to the food court Dario looked to be having a serious conversation on the phone. When he saw us he forced a smile and hung up.

"Took you long enough, I thought you guys bailed on me."

"What are you guys having?"

"I'm probably gonna get a sandwich from subway." Dario answers.

I looked to Lorenzo and his gaze was already on me. He smirked before he answered.

"I think Chinese is a safe option today." He said and turned to his brother. "Would you mind ordering for us?" Dario rolled his eyes.

"I'm only getting Raven's order. What would you like?" He turned to me and I realized I hadn't told him my real name.

"I'll have what your having from subway and my real name is Samai." I smiled at him.

"Pretty name for a pretty girl." Dario smiled at me then smirked at his brother. Lorenzo had the biggest scowl on his face.

When Dario left we kinda just sat there in silence. I didn't dare look at him, I already knew his eyes were on me. That's what he's been doing since last night. Just watching and studying.

"I like your hair like this. It's really nice." He tried to start a conversation.

"Thank you. Yours is nice too." I made a lame attempt to return the compliment. He just smiled and his dimples made an appearance.

Lorenzo's a very attractive man but I never really looked at him any other way than just my boss. His face was well sculpted and when his hair wasn't gelled, it was curly and fluffy. He had tattoos peeking from his collar all the way down to his knuckles, which were blinged out in expensive looking rings.

"I didn't know you had a brother."

"I have two. Dario's the youngest and Alessandro's the oldest. They don't live here, Dario's just visiting."

"Oh you have a big family I'm guessing."

"Something like that. What about you?"

"Orphan." I gave him a small smile and he nodded after a while.

Truth be told, I did have a family after I left my orphanage, but it's not something I could go telling everyone. We weren't a normal family, we did things normal families didn't do. For that reason, I had kept my mouth shut about who I was and what I use to do.

Just then my phone started ringing. It was Tina.

"One second." I held up my finger and answered the phone.

"Hey Tina."

"Hey sorry to bother you so early. Do you know a blonde guy, he wears a man bun and has a beard. He said he spoke to you last night?"

"Liam, and yea he did." Upon hearing his friend's name Lorenzo looked at me.

"Okay well he's requesting to have you as his private dancer for the days he visits."

"I told him I would talk to you first."

"You coming in tonight?"

I wasn't planning on it but might as well go make some extra cash.

"Yea I'll be in around 8."

"Okay we'll talk about it later." I hung up and put my phone in my pocket.

Lorenzo looked pissed and I'm pretty sure it's because of the conversation he just heard. Just then Dario came back with subway and the Chinese for his brother.

For the rest of the time Lorenzo didn't speak a word. It was just Dario and I talking and getting to know each other. He's a pretty decent guy and fun to hang out with. We stayed and talk a bit more until I decided it was time to leave. They walked me to my car and Lorenzo was still quiet.

"It was nice getting to know you, we should do this again before I leave." Dario gave me a hug.

"I'd like that." I gave him my number and said bye to him. I turned to Lorenzo to say bye and he just nodded.

I got in my car and went home.

Okay so I noticed when I write some things sounds weird. And I realized that I write the way I talk and when I speak I mix my Jamaican language with English. So if a sentence is constructed weird or sounds weird, just let me know in the comments and I'll try my best to correct it. Sometimes I don't even notice because it sounds so normal, that's how everyone around me speaks.
