“I can’t believe আপনি have to work on New Year’s Eve.” Ponyboy mumbles.
আপনি give him a quick চুম্বন on the cheek as আপনি head towards the door. “I know, but I’ll be paid extra for working tonight.”
“Waiting tables?” He snorts.
আপনি roll your eyes. “Well it is a holiday.” Not knowing what else to say about your profession, আপনি add, “Lots of people go out tonight.”
“Can I visit আপনি to get a New Year’s kiss?” He asks as আপনি turn the doorknob to the front door.
আপনি stop. আপনি didn’t want him coming to see where আপনি worked. “No,” আপনি say quietly.
“Why not?”
“Just… No.” আপনি say, and leave.
******************
The খাদ pounded, the colored lights flashed.
আপনি glance at the clock. Only 11:50. Another couple hours in this whore house.
Stripping wasn’t how you’d picture your future to be. It sorta just happened. আপনি were desperate for money, and আপনি apparently had the sex appeal for it.
আপনি take a look in the bathroom mirror, your hair all curly, and your wearing this black leather and fishnet ensemble.
“You look so slutty.” আপনি think to yourself.
What would Ponyboy think?
He’d be so disappointed in you.
And আপনি just want to break down and cry, knowing how upset he’d be.
আপনি fight back tears, not wanting to ruin your eyeliner and mascara.
আপনি quickly রচনা yourself, আপনি were on in 5.
আপনি walk backstage in a daze, not really concentrating, ready just to be another pretty face and body for men to stare at.
The lights go dark on the stage, your cue to take your place at your pole, the one on the stage right.
The সঙ্গীত starts, and the lights go up. আপনি feel the beat, starting to slide down the pole.
As আপনি turn around, kicking up your leg, আপনি see him.
আপনি see him, standing at the entrance, the look on his face killing you.
আপনি instantly let go of the pole, stand up, and look at him, eyes starting to water.
“Bitch, get back to dancing!” Some drunk yells at you, but আপনি ignore him, biting your lip to keep from sobbing.
আপনি see him mouth something. At first আপনি can’t make it out, but then আপনি realize he’s saying: “I’m sorry.”
আপনি shake your head, letting him know it’s not his fault.
He starts walking towards you, making his way through the crowd of men.
আপনি hop off the stage, making your way towards him, as fast as your high heeled boots would carry you.
আপনি run into his arms, which immediately মোড়ানো around you, pulling আপনি close. “I’m sorry.” He whispers. “I’m so sorry.”
আপনি can’t help it now, the tears start to flow.
He pulls away, holding your face in your hands, trying to hold back tears himself. “You’re going to quit, alright? I’ll support you, I swear. We’ll find আপনি a real job, and everything will be fine. I promise.”
All আপনি can do is cry and nod, make up running down your face.
“5, 4, 3, 2-” the crowd counts down to signal the new year.
And his lips crash into yours.
“HAPPY NEW YEAR!” The club roars.
“This বছর will be different.” আপনি sniffle.
আপনি give him a quick চুম্বন on the cheek as আপনি head towards the door. “I know, but I’ll be paid extra for working tonight.”
“Waiting tables?” He snorts.
আপনি roll your eyes. “Well it is a holiday.” Not knowing what else to say about your profession, আপনি add, “Lots of people go out tonight.”

“You alright, babe?” He asks. আপনি were lying on your stomach on শীর্ষ of him.
“Yeah, I’m fine.” আপনি say.
He strokes his hair. “You know, this could be us every night.”
“Yeah but we’d have kids, so it would be weird and awkward to do this every night. What if they had bad dreams অথবা something?” আপনি say.
“Ok, well then every other night.” He grins.
“That might work.” আপনি laugh.
“By the looks of it, we’ll have lots of little kids on our hands.” He winks.
