Chapter 22
Rex
With Charlie and Ruby in the same vicinity, I knew that I was going to have to get them away from each other. Ruby knew too much and if she figured out what she had over me, I had no doubt that she would use it to her advantage.
I tried to get away from the two, but quickly thought against it. Ruby was giving me this look. I could feel the hot gaze from her on the back of my neck. So I went back to the two standing there and decided that it would be easier to pull Ruby away than Charlie. Charlie was in a mood today. “You are looking mighty fine tonight Ruby. I am glad you could make it.”
“Well thanks for inviting me.”
“It was all Charlie’s idea. He wanted to make sure that everyone was able to get together and get to know each other. We work all day and night, without much talk.”
She still looked at me with the face that told me she was still upset. I wanted to wipe that away, but I wasn’t sure how to do it without having sex with her. It was what she wanted. I was good at what I did and she wanted a few orgasms. Charlie was starting to get restless, so I just kept talking to Ruby until I saw him wonder off.
“No problem. It was supposed to be a meet and greet since we have so many new girls.” Charlie responded when she asked why.
“There are a lot. The competition has certainly gone up. Is this everyone or is there new ones coming in?”
He told her that everyone here was who worked here and that there wasn’t anyone else. No, I think that is everyone, why? I mean, I didn’t take a head count, but I think this is it.”
“Oh, just looking for some girl that I haven’t met before. I think her name is Sherry.”
I instantly thought of his sister and I had to shut her up immediately. I couldn’t even dare look at Charlie. I didn’t want to know if he got what she was talking about or if it had anything to do with me. was trying to figure out who the hell Ruby was talking about.
“No, there is no Sherry. Why would you think that there was?” Charlie was paying attention and I had to get this conversation moving in another direction quickly.
“Um, I don’t know. I just keep hearing the name and I wanted to see what girl it was attached to. Are you sure there isn’t anyone new named Sherry that started at the club?”
Charlie told her that there wasn’t and instead of letting it go any further, I asked Ruby if she wanted to dance. I had to get her away from Charlie.
“No I am good where I am Rex, thanks.” Her expression was one of pleasure and I knew that it was because she enjoyed toying with me so much. She was having way too much fun messing with me and she set her sights back on Charlie. “Why don’t you ever spend time with us Charlie?”
“What do you mean Ruby?”
“Well, I have never gotten called into the office for you Charlie and I just wonder why. Rex sure doesn’t have any problem using us girls to his advantage. You like girls, right?”
I could see his face getting red and I knew he was at a loss of what to say. Instead of answering such a question, Charlie walked off and I hoped that he wasn’t too upset. Charlie was not like me in a lot of ways. He had a thin skin and I think even the idea of that made him pull inwards. It wasn’t something that a straight man wanted to be thought to be. “Leave him be Ruby. He really isn’t your type.”
“Well I have to get my rocks off somehow.”
I waved my hand around the room. “I am sure there are many men here that would love to take care of it for you.”
She got closer and moved to her tiptoes to kiss me. I dodge the move and I saw the look on her face further sour.
“I want you Rex.”
“Not again Ruby. It is better to leave as friends.”

“Where have you been hiding at? Look at you Charlie. You are grinning from ear to ear. I have a feeling you have been up to no good. I thought you went upstairs to pout because of what that stupid bitch said. You know she is just mad because I won’t fuck her anymore. She is just mad that I moved on.”
“Just had a few words with Desiree. That little bitch is hot as hell and her mouth was made for one thing and one thing only. I don’t know what I was thinking, not trying out the dancers like you do.”
Rex made a face. “Desiree. Yes, I can see that. So how was it? Are you two in love now? I know how quickly you fall for a pretty face and a tight pussy.”
He shook his head that they weren’t. “It wasn’t about that. It was all physical and couldn’t have been better. Maybe you were right all of this time. I just read into everything too much. It’s just sex at the end of the day. That is all I am going to find here.”
“I wouldn’t go that far. We are all looking for some sort of connection at the end of the day Charlie.” Even me.
“Why the hell the flip all of a sudden?”
“I don’t know Charlie. It just gets old after a while. I am not going to say that it isn’t nice for a while, but it gets to be more of a burden than anything else. Trust me, at the end of the day, a year from now, you will want to find a woman that does it for you all of the time. You were the one that was right.”
“What the hell has gotten into you lately, Rex?”
“Nothing, Charlie. I am just saying you are right. You are the one that has been uptight as hell for a while. Hopefully Desiree figured that out for you and you will learn to chill the fuck out.”
“So who is it then?”
“What do you mean?” He was confusing as hell and he had an accusation in his eyes.
“What chick has you changing everything now and wanting to get serious with someone?”
“There is no one.” What was he getting at?
“Ruby doesn’t think so. She has been eying you down for days. I think she is the one that is getting serious.”
I rubbed the back of my neck and tried my best not to have a guilty look on my face. “Yeah, Ruby became a problem all of a sudden. I thought everything was cool and casual and she went and took it to a whole other level. Now I can’t get her off of me and she is not happy that I am not in love with her. I really think she is going to become a pain in our asses.”
“Well you need to handle it. She is starting to worry me and she is not our problem Rex. She is your problem.”
“Why are you being so uptight about it? It isn’t the first time that a chick has gone a little crazy and fallen in love with one of us.”
“I’m not being uptight, just real. Get a handle on her because she makes me nervous. We don’t need a harassment suit against us because you are calling her by another chick’s name.”
I tried not to react, but I knew that he was still stewing over what she said to him earlier. He knew way more than he was supposed to and I was starting to think that I was going to have to come clean about more than just Ruby.
“Who told you that?”
“Who do you think? You really did piss Ruby off, didn’t you?”
I nodded my head and got a solemn look on my face. “What else did she tell you?”
He had that suspicious look back on his face and again I wished that I could say something to make it so. I hated this vibe between us more than anything else. This was getting old fast. Why couldn’t I just come out with it and finally be truthful about what was going on?
