I'm in Love With a Stripper
and we’ll go eat?” Royce asked.
    “Yes!” Gavin agreed making his way to the bathroom to wash his hands.
    Royce motioned for Alena to come into the kitchen.
    “Did you decide if you wanted to move in yet or do you need more time?” Royce asked.
    Alena smiled, “If everything we talked about it is still OK then I’d like to move in around the first.”
    “Great! We’ll figure out something about your school schedule and who will watch Gav in before school starts back up,” Royce replied.
    “I’ll get some of the guys from the shop to help you move. Don’t worry about that stuff,” Royce added.
    Alena nodded, “Thanks Royce. I appreciate it.”
    “How did Gavin do today?” Royce questioned.
    “He did good as usual. He has been complaining that he’s bored lately. He said something about his Uncle Hubert telling him to learn karate,” she replied.
    “Karate, huh?” Royce replied.
    Alena nodded, “Yeah, they have classes for all age ranges. Maybe something like that would be good for him.”
    “Will you look that stuff up for me next week?” Royce asked.
    “Of course. I think it would be good for him to be around other kids more,” Alena replied.
    Royce nodded, “Yeah. You’re probably right.”
    Alena took the casserole she made out of the oven and set the plates on the table.
    “Did you have a good day at work?” Alena asked.
    Royce’s heart fluttered. Alena was so sweet and caring. She always asked how his day was and anytime he needed anything she was happy to help. He knew he had to get over his feelings for her before she moved in.
    “It was busy but good. Are you going to stay and eat with us?” Royce replied.
    Alena glanced at the kitchen clock.
    “Oh! I better not—it’s getting late and I better go. I will see you on Monday,” she answered quickly.
    Royce glanced down at his watch.
    “Oi, I didn’t realize it was so late,” Royce said.
    “Bye Royce. I’ll see you Monday, ” Alena replied warmly.
    He nodded.
    Alena hugged Gavin good-bye and made her way to her car. It was Friday and that meant she had to work at the club. She smiled to herself and realized that as soon as she moved in with Royce and Gavin she wouldn’t have to work at the club anymore.
    Alena got ready as soon as she got home. She then headed into the club. Aaron had told her to come into work a little late which was strange but she was thankful since Royce had been late coming home. For some reason he didn’t seem himself when he got home. He had sort of guilty look on his face.
    Alena shrugged off her thoughts as she entered the club. She immediately headed to the dressing room to change. She could tell it was going to be a busy night. She could already hear a lot of guys yelling and whistling. She peeked out from the dressing room. Wow, it is definitely getting busy , she thought as she took in the size of crowd. Most of the other girls were already talking to customers or performing. Lisa and Alena were alone in the dressing room.
    Lisa was the only girl Jessica and Alena talked to at the club. They had to be careful a lot of the girls were mixed up in drugs or were way too into drama.
    “ Alena!” exclaimed Lisa.
    “ Hey Lisa! I didn’t know you were working tonight. Tonight looks promising look at all the guys here and it’s still early,” Alena replied.
    “ I know right? Some big shot business guys Aaron knows decided to drop by. Aaron promised that we would all bank tonight. Anyway, why are you looking down tonight? Is something wrong?” Lisa said.
    “ Oh Lisa, I need to talk to you. I have to tell you something important,” Alena sighed.
    The two girls took a break from getting ready.
    “ What is it Alena?” Lisa said giving Alena a concerned look.
    “ Well, I have some good news and some bad news,” Alena took a deep breath and continued. “You know how I’m a nanny during the day right?”
    Lisa nodded, “Yeah.”
    “ My boss asked me to work full-time for him with double
