Bride for Rent

Rebecca Gonzales stood across the full-length mirror,her bright ginger hair flowed to her waist.

Money meant everything to her at this point of her life, she needed money to pay for her college tuition,money to support her mother's failing business.

Their house rent was due in two days and the landlord had told her earlier that morning that he would waste no time in kicking her and her mother out of the house.

"Would you put on your mask and get going,you can't make me loose customers"Veronica,the owner of the strip club hissed as she walked into the room.

"Yes ma'am"Rebecca replied,her head bowed.

She watched Veronica storm off,out of the room. Tears filled her eyes,she couldn't believe she was doing this, working in a strip club for money.

The cold air gave her goosebumps as her pale skin was exposed.

Veronica had given her a see through catsuit,boots and a mask as her outfit for the night. Her instructions were to dance on the pole,seduce any of the rich men, lure them to bed and get paid.

The agreement was to split the money in half.

Rebecca blinked back hot tears,not wanting to ruin the heavy make-up she had on.

Her instructions were simple and straightforward but Rebecca's issue was how to carry it out.

Sadly,she put on the mask and walked up to the 'stage of fate' as Veronica had called it.

Other girls were dancing already, beckoning on some of the men who were drinking and smoking.

The stale smell of cigarettes, sweat, perfume and beer almost made her gag.

Her eyes locked with Veronica's who sat across the room with some men,she shot her a dirty look. It was a signal for her to start dancing or get fired.

She was at complete loss,she had no idea of what she was doing as she grabbed the dancing pole. She decided to copy the dance moves of the girl in front of her. The girl twisted and twirled like a pro.

Rebecca tried her best to place herself on the pole and move her body seductively.

She knew she has failed when other girls were taken by the men who were watching them,she was left alone on the stage.

She searched the room for anyone who was paying her attention,no one was.

She wanted to burst into tears when she remembered that when her rent had expired,she and her mother had no place to go to.

She let her eyes wandered from table to table,she noticed a man in a suit sitting across the bar. He seemed very uninterested in what was going on around him.

She decided to walk up to him,he was the only decent looking man around.

"Kind sir,would you please take me?"she asked nervously as she stood in front of him.

He lifted his eyes to her,he had the saddest pair of eyes she had ever seen.
