What money can do

“Hello” someone scream through the front door of my apartment.

I turn my head and moan in pain. Damn I knew I was going to regret it. My neck hurt and my back too.

I got up and went to my door with my eyes half open. I open the door to see this woman with a long navy blue skirt and an ugly jacket and with these huge glasses. She reminds me the girl that she used to study in high school.

“Yes?” I said.

“Are you Candy?” she asks looking me up and down.

“Look, you are beautiful and everything but I only dance at night and only at men. Sorry” I think she is a lesbian by the way she is looking at me.

She laughs a weird laugh.

“No, it’s not like that. I’m here to pick you up”

“What do you mean” pick me up? She is crazy if she thinks that I’m going with her.

“Julian is waiting outside on a limo for you and the little girl” she said with a shy smile. She dint look aver 25.

“Oh” I totally forgot about that.

“Let me change and I will be out in 20 minutes or not” I said as I step back.

“There’s no time, beside Julian doesn’t wait for anyone” she grab my arm and pull me out of my own apartment.

She then enters my apartment without my permission.

“Hey! What the hell are you doing” I scream at her once I enter too. She dint have any right to do that especially when Margie is sleeping.

The nerd woman stops right in front of the bedroom and look behind me. She looks almost scared.

“You don’t drag me out of my own apartment, understand. You don’t even have the right to do it” I scream at her because I got mad.

Just then I felt two pairs of hands wrap around my waist.

“What is going on” a deep and a familiar voice said.

I turn my head and my eyes went on his face, I mean on Julian face.

“I’m sorry Julian” said the woman with shame.

“That’s right, you better apologize” I said and Julian lets go of me.

He looked around the apartment and Margie woke up because i was screaming.

“You live in this poor place?” he said. Oh he is playing with the wrong girl.

“You got a problem with that. Just because you have money it doesn’t mean that everybody else does.” I said as I pick up Margie in my hand. She still was sleepy.

Julian turns around to look at my angry face.

“I apologize” he said at his eyes went at Margie’s. “Hi, what your name” he ask in a sweet voice.

“Mergiee” she said as she tried to talk normal. Margie is having problem on speaking and I don’t know why.

It was the first time she has ever spoken to a stranger.

“That’s a beautiful name. Do you want to have breakfast at Denny’s” he asks her but not me.

Margie nod. And Julian smile.

“Shall we go” he said and all of the sudden Margie stretch her hands so that Julian could pick her.

He picks her up and then started to walk out. That little girl betray me with a guy that she doesn’t know, what a whore.

The woman still looks like a girl in shame.

“Just give me a moment” I reach to my closet and put in some jean and a normal t-shirt.

The good thing was that out side of work I dress like a normal person and people doesn’t really suspect of me being a striper.

The woman dint says a word while I dress.

“So, how do you know Julian” I said as we walk to the door.

She looks a little down. “I’m his assistant” that’s the only thing she said to me that morning.

I lock the door and walk down the stairs. My saw this beautiful white limo and very long too.

This was the first time I ever saw a limo in real life. The door was open and what seem like a chauffer was beside the door.

I got in and it was beautiful. Julian and Margie were already sitting and he was making her laugh. I count help but think of him as a father mode. He would be a good father, I think.

“Oh, Margie I forgot to bring you some cloths” I said as I went back to reality.

“That’s all right, we get her some cloths” the chauffer close the door and started to drive.

The drive was pretty awkward for me because I dint talk or said anything but for Margie, well, she laugh and smile thanks to Julian.

We stop in front of this huge shopping center. The limo stop in the entrance of the mall. People were looking at the limo and trying to see who we were. I felt a little embarrass by all of it.

Julian got out with Margie and I follow them. People talk about us and for once I felt important.

The mall was like any other mall but it was divided for section:

· First section was for normal people (1 floor)

· Second section was the for those who doesn’t spend too much money (2 floor)

· Third section was the food (3 floor)

· Fourth section was the rich one (4 floor)

The fourth section was not my thing because I don’t really have that kind of money.

We reach the fourth floor with the nerd woman who out of nowhere she appear.

“We need to go to the hair salon first” the woman said.

“Why don’t we eat first, Kelly” Julian said.

“But we don’t have time” said the woman named Kelly.

“Well then, you take care of Candy while I take Margie” he said as he turns around to leave.

“Don’t you dare take her” I said. Even though that Margie was not my daughter I consider her like she was mine.

Julian turns to face me. “Don worry ill take care of her. Trust me” his words made me believe in him but why?

“Come on, me need to go” Kelly said.

“But what if he…”

“Don’t worry he take care of her like his own daughter”

“How do you know that” I ask.

Kelly turns around and sigh “Three years ago he met this beautiful woman and she was only interest in his money but he dint knew. She told him that she was pregnant, even though he dint really love her, he took care of her just for the baby. I remember that he was only talking so much about how much he count wait for the baby to be born but then it was all a lie, she was faking it.”

“What happen to him?”

“Well, he dint talk to me for a whole week. He was depressed” she said and started to walk.

Poor guy. He looks so strong and to even think about that makes me sad. I just hope that he doesn’t really hurt Margie or ill kill him.

We enter this huge and fierce hair salon.

“I have an appointment” said Kelly to this guy who seems just like a woman.

“Well girl, you need a make over and fast” he said at Kelly.

“How dare you. Beside is not for me, is for her” she said as she pointed at me.

The guy looked at me and nodded. “Ok dear, come” he said in a female voice.

I walked to these seats. I have never done my hair by a professional.

He started to work on my long hair. He cut it and I just hope that it wasn’t that short.

After a long time of waiting for my hair, he was done.

“Voila” he said and turns the seat around and I look at the mirror.

I looked at myself and I count believe that that girl was actually me. My hair was pass my shoulder and it was well cut and he even put on some makeup. I was actually feeling beautiful.

Kelly looked at me in shock.

“You look awesome and beautiful” she said.

“Thanks” I said shyly.

Kelly paid with a credit card. We then headed for clothing store. At first I denied that Kelly or Julian buy me cloth but I dint have any other choices.

Kelly bought lots of cloth for me. I felt just like a princess. I had like 4 bags in each hand and it was really heavy.

We met up with Julian and Margie in the kid’s store. He was on the cash check and Margie was beside him with a huge smile. Once he paid he gave a wink at the cashier. I roll my eyes.

“You look good. Now let’s go Margie” he said and walk away from us. He dint said I look beautiful or something like that.

Margie smile at me then walk beside Julian again. We walk through the mall and I could fell the lust of the men each time they walk. Even envy from the woman.

Julian stops walking because he was waiting for me and once I walk beside him he stop me by grabbing my arm and wrap his hand around my waist.

“I don’t want men’s to look like you are available” he said as we walk like a couple.

We went outside and the limo was already waiting for us. The chauffer took my heavy bags and put them in the trunk as well he help Julian.

I got in the limo and this time Kelly did too. As the chauffer drove I notice that he went a different direction and I was getting nervous but I dint complain.

He stops the limo and opens the door.

This huge mansion came to the view. Wow it’s really beautiful.

“You like it?” ask Julian behind me.

“Of course”

“Good, because it’s my parents house” he said.

“What! I thought that we would visit them when I’m really ready” his parents house, so soon, is he crazy.

“The sooner the better” he said.

“Did you talk to Margie” I whispered at him once I saw a shadow or a person through the window.

“Of course I did” he said and he went down on his knee to face Margie. “Margie, who am I” he ask her sweetly. Oh both of them look so cute.

“Daddy” she responds.

“How do you do that” I ask in shock.

“A parent thing” he said with a smile and wink at Margie. Those two are up to something.
