Babes Stripping For Love

The next day Charlotte went to babes to resign from her job. She wanted to speak to Gage before she tells Jojo that she was going to quit both dancing and working behind the desk helping with administration stuff, for the older woman.

Charlotte didn’t have to wait for long when less than ten minutes later Gage arrived and Charlotte knocked on his door.

“Come on in. Hello, Charlotte, how are you this afternoon?” he opened their conversation casually as he start sipping his drink from his tumbler. It was probably coffee that his wife, Bree had made for him before he goes to Babes.

“I’m good, better,” She replied as she takes the seat across his desk. Gage was the person that knows everything about her. The man had been super nice since the first day she interviewed for the dancer position at his club. Gage has a way about him that makes someone want to open up and share their life story. He was practically a psychiatrist and a boss rolled into one.

“Good… good, so…”

“Yeah, um… so, I’m resigning from the club.” Charlotte decided to let the bomb drop just as is and she waited a couple of heartbeats, then relaxed when the man gave her a friendly smile.

“And what brings up the sudden decision?”

Charlotte knows that Bree and Gage talked, and whatever she told her girls, Bree would most likely share it with her man. Though she’s not a blabbermouth, Charlotte thinks Gage has an idea of what was going on with her, personally, though he wanted to appear like he didn’t.

“My boyfr… my guardian, the man that my dad had chosen to watch over me, Seamus, he reminded me that my dad would be upset if he found out that I was dancing in a club, or working in one. And I’ve been thinking about it and I think for the time being it’s best for me to resign while I look for another job.” Charlotte blurted out her words and seconds later, she felt the guilt. Gage had taken her in when no one wanted to hire her, and he had been lenient about respecting her wishes for not fully stripping on stage.

“You know that you’re one of the best dancers out there, even when you don’t strip bare. Your performance made our patrons crazy, and wanting more.” He said with a friendly smile.

Charlotte blushed, as she always does when Gage was being blunt with his assessment. Though she knew that he does this with the other girls, still building a career in her previous world was the opposite of what she was facing at Babes.

“Do you think you could hold on working with Jojo until I find your replacement? you don’t have to go on stage. At the moment, Bree is busy with Hazel and I want her to focus on our girl since she just started her new school.”

“Actually I… ” Charlotte wanted to make Seamus happy, and she knows that he’d be happy once she told him that she quit her job. But she couldn’t leave Jojo when Bree was busy and Gage had been nothing but nice to her. So, she decided to wait. “… okay, I guess, I can keep working with Jojo, for the time being.”

“Great, it’s settled then. I will let you know once I have someone for the position hopefully it wouldn’t be longer than a week or two.” Gage smiled at her before taking another sip from his tumbler. That was the cue, and that was when Charlotte got up from her seat and thanked him before walking out of his door and straight to the back office to join Jojo and get lost in her work until it was break time.

Jojo greeted her with a warm smile, the second she saw her. “Hey, you look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulder. Do you want to talk?” she asked from her side of the table, her hands had stopped typing on the keyboard.

“I just talked to Gage,” Charlotte decided to tell Jojo about her plans, she needed to vent and Jojo had always been a good listener. She knows about her dad, about her housing situation, and now she was telling her about Seamus and her plan to quit working at the club. “I’m going to quit working at Babes. Seamus is right, dad placed me under his care and I know he’d be upset if he found out about Babes.”

“Well, as long as you’re not pressured to stop working that is fine. But when you’re having to second guess yourself, I’d say that you need to rethink your decision.”

Charlotte smiled back, grateful for Jojo’s understanding. “Thank you, Jojo. I’m waiting for Gage to find my replacement, then I will look for another job.”

After their conversation, they get back to their work. Together, they worked on various administrative tasks, and Charlotte found herself enjoying the quiet vibe that it gave her mind. Until it was time for her break.

Bree and Dee were already waiting for her at the nearby diner. Cassidy was there too. If Charlotte had to guess, Bree probably knew from Gage about her resignation attempt, and she had texted everyone to have a meal together.

“Hey,” Charlotte greeted her three friends.

“Hey, so… sit, order then tell us everything.” Bree greeted her with her warm smile.

“By everything we mean, everything,” Dee piped with her mischievous smile.

“to the last detail of what you and your hunky man did to convince you to want to resign.” Cassidy finished for the three of them.

“Gosh… and here I thought we were going to have a nice quiet lunch.” Charlotte shook her head, but grab the menu and call for the waitress.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Minutes after the waiter left with her order, Charlotte started talking about her meeting with Gage before she was interrupted by Dee.

“Okay, hold on, we need to hear from the very beginning. Like how good is the sex? I’m guessing it was epic since it managed to make a life-altering decision for you.”

“Dee, quitting Babes isn’t exactly life-altering.” Charlotte tried to defend her decision.

And just like on cue the three women gasped as if she was saying someone was killing someone’s favorite pet, which none of them had. But the news would surely make the three of them gasp scandalously, in unison.

“Young woman, you take that back,” Dee said quickly it was almost comical. Charlotte could see that Bree was holding off her laughter and Cassidy was trying to keep a straight face.

“Babes is life. I’m telling you as the longest person working there.” Dee said proudly and Bree was still trying to appear as serious as she could with a heavy nod. Cassidy was biting her smile and finally brought her cup to hide her smile.

“Okay… the sex was awesome, he’s good. Damn good. Like good-good… so fucking good that I was teary from all the good sex stuff.” Charlotte blushed, but good was all that she could come up with. She couldn’t possibly say that she enjoyed all the sexy filthy stuff that Seamus did to her or the way she screamed out and called him daddy.

“Oh. My. God. she got the good sex, the good-good sex,” Cassidy chirped happily and Bree put her hand on Charlotte’s as if she was congratulating her and it made her blush deeper.

“Hot damn… he’s that good. You’re like tomato red my dear, here… drink some water. Might need holy water, but we’re not in the vicinity,” Dee pushed her glass of water and watched in amusement as Charlotte drank it almost finishing the glass.

“Girls, give her a break,” Bree scolded them as she tried to give Charlotte time to calm down and continue her story.

Bree did want to know about it since Gage told her that the ballerina was quitting. Her husband had thought that it was because of the man who had the altercation with Rockford, back when Charlotte had sprained her ankle. Gage always worries about his employees. He never wanted to interfere with Charlotte’s love life, but he had always been protective of his employees. And though Charlotte had only been at Babes for a couple of months, she had made an impression. Not to mention Bree who would talk about Charlotte since they’d have coffee and gossip as friends.

When Charlotte finished her water, Bree had steered their conversation into a lighter subject. She talked about Hazel and how perfect her little angel had been with her new school. Cassidy also talked about her brothers, and how they were going to visit her again the following weekend.

But when her turn to speak was up, Charlotte slowly opened up and told her girls about her and Seamus. She left out their intimate details as much as possible since it was private and she wanted to keep it that way. Her friends didn’t ask further, as they clearly respect the boundaries that she created.

“I think it’s sweet. You have a good man, Charlotte. He wants to take care of you, and your dad. I think you don’t have to work if he insisted. And that would mean more time for you to pursue anything you’d like. He doesn’t care about the money, your dad will pay him back once he’s cleared and his funds are accessible again.” As always Bree was the voice of reasoning, and Dee, and Cassidy both agreed with her.

“Ugh, what I’d give to have a sugar daddy,” Dee whispered dreamily, making the rest of them laugh.

“Dee, you’re in love with the hottest bartender in town who matches your gossip fetish, and that man adored you like you’re the only woman on this earth made for him. No one gets to have it all. Don’t be greedy.” Cassidy pointed out, and they all giggled when Dee let out another exaggerated sigh.

Their meal time ended when Charlotte needs to get back to work and Bree had to pick up Hazel. Dee and Cassidy stayed behind since they still have time to waste. But Charlotte did feel better after she vents to her girls, she talked to them about Seamus. They all supported her when Charlotte told them that he wanted to take care of her. It was good to spend time with her girls, and she did feel better when she came home to Seamus hours later.
