Alpha’s Virgin Stripper

“Banging the drum like I’m the DJ. I know you want it in the worst ways! I want to hear you calling my name, like hey…!”

“That’s enough, Hadley. We’ve heard enough of your growling.” Zelda cut in. Brandy and Ashley threw their heads back against the leather seat, laughter erupted from their stomachs.

Hadley feigned a frown and dropped her hands down. She turned from the front seat and stared at Zelda.

“I wasn’t growling, I was singing.”

Zelda’s eyes widened in mock surprise while she pressed her hands to her chest.

“You don’t say! You had me fooled there!”

Brandy and Ashley continued to laugh their guts out, until their Uber stopped. The laughter died down and Ashley was the first too look around them.

In front of them, a short building stood with glass windows and doors. Ashley’s eyes traveled to the top of the building, where she read out the name “Smith’s diner.”

“I believe we are here, ladies.” The cab driver spoke up for the first time since the four ladies got into his car.

Hadley turned to look at Ashley.

“Is this the place?”

Ashley’s lips thinned in a smile as she looked around. She was impressed, Jojo had really found a fresh start for herself. Even though it was a small one, it was still a new one.

“Yes, we are.” She replied. The girls stepped out of the car and walked into the restaurant like quadruplets that ruled the world.

The whole room seemed to stop on sight of them. The girls felt eyes rest on them, it took almost two minutes for the room to return to its usual buzz. Ashley’s eyes scanned the room in search of Jojo.

Instead, she found an elderly woman walking towards her. She recognized the woman as the owner of the restaurant, she had met her on her first date here, with Kenji.

Kenji. She forced herself not to frown at the thought of the name.

The woman stood in front of them with a polite smile on her face.

“Good evening and welcome to Smith’s diner. I am Mrs. Smith and I would love to usher you to the table over…” Before the woman could point at the table at the far end of the room, Ashley spoke up, causing her to drop her hand to her side.

“Actually ma’am, we are here to see Jo, Jojo.” Ashley blurted out with sincere urgency. The woman narrowed her blue eyes on her. Her gaze darted to the girls behind Ashley.

“The four of you?” She asked. Ashley nodded with a sincere smile on her face.

“Yes, she’s expecting us. Just let her know Ash is here, with the girls.” Ashley replied. The woman looked over the four of them again, before she turned around.

As they watched her walk away, Ashley suddenly called her back. The girls stared at her, wondering what it was that had occurred to her again.

“Hold on, ma’am!”

The woman turned back to her, now seeming impatient, but Ashley did not bother about her countenance.

“We would love if you could close the restaurant after now. We would pay for exclusive hours, just us. We have not seen Jojo in a long time and we would love some quality bonding with our friend. Whatever the bill, I would cover it. I really hope you can do that for us.”

It was more money. Who said no to more money?

The woman sighed, before she spoke.

“I would inform Jojo of your presence. You would have your exclusive time in ten minutes, do be patient.” She spoke calmly, and the girls nodded in unison.

“Let’s head over to the end of the room and sit down. I’m going to puke if one more man sends me ogling eyes.” Hadley spoke up, staring at the crowd with mild disgust. Zelda nudged her right arm playfully.

“Perks of being a sexy girl. You wouldn’t complain if you were in a thong and their dollar notes fell like rain from the sky to the floor.” Ashley replied, sending Hadley a wink.

Hadley rolled her eyes, while the rest of the girls chuckled and laughed as they walked to the table.

They continued to laugh at themselves and make jest of one another, just like they always loved to do.

The past one month and few weeks had been crazy for each and every one of them. Even though they would not admit it, they all needed this time to get away and be with each other. They also needed to see Jojo, she had always been there for them at different points in their lives.

“I swear by the goddess, if you order an apple pie, I’ll smack your brains to next Tuesday, because who makes pies with apple?!” Hadley cried out, speaking directly to Brandy.

“I think apple pies are one of the best pastries to exist.” A voice called out behind her. Hadley did not need to turn to know who it was.

She knew the voice too well; they all knew the voice to well. Even if she did get the voice wrong, she knew she would not get the happiness that sparkled in Ashley’s eyes, or the joy that caused her to spring up on her feet.

“Jo!” Ashley screamed at the top of her voice. She pushed past Zelda and rushed to embrace Jojo. Before the girl could speak, Ashley wrapped her arms around her and engulfed her in a tight embrace. Tears welled up in Ashley’s eyes, she had not thought she would see Jojo so strong and happy.

Zelda, Brandy and Hadley joined in the hug. The girls were now the only people in the restaurant. They were all happy to see Jojo.

And Jojo? The poor girl could not contain her tears. Her heart warmed so much that it began to melt in her chest, causing tears of joy to flow freely from her eyes.

She dabbed her eyes with the back of her right palm while the girls continued to smile at her.

“Guys! I cannot believe you guys came. I honestly did not…” Her sentence stopped halfway. Zelda and Hadley exchanged knowing looks and proceeded to seize both her arms, before pulling her to the table. Ashley drew a chair out for her, and the girls made Jojo sit on it.

“I did not think that I would see you guys again. I mean, everything happened so suddenly and…”

“We know and we understand, Jo. You really do not need to say anything, okay? We only want you to know that we are here for you, we would always be.” Hadley spoke with her gentle voice, while she pulled out her chair and sat beside Jojo. Ashley took the seat by Jojo’s left, rubbing her wrist gently.

“No matter what it is, Jojo, we would stand by you because you always stood by us. We might just be mere employees to them, but to each other, we are sisters. We are family and they cannot break us, they shouldn’t break you either.” Ashley spoke next. The girls nodded in agreement. Brandy continued to watch them, only thinking about how strong Jojo must have been to rise up and pick up the pieces of her life like nothing had happened at all.

Jojo sniffed and nodded.

“I should get you guys drinks and food. What would you have?” She said as she stood up.

“Just drinks would be fine. Your finest champagne, three bottles.” Ashley replied and Hadley threw her hands into the air.

“Go Ashley! Go Ashley!”

“You’re paying for one.” Ashley cut in and laughed when Hadley’s hands fell to her side. “Rich of you,” Zelda said out loud, and the girls shook their heads as they chuckled, giggled, and laughed respectively.

“Okay! You guys have laughed at me way too much this evening.” Hadley pouted.

“Brace yourself, Hadley, for the night is still young,” Jojo added. This time, the girls could not hold back their laughter.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Good one, Jo! Excellent!”

“She got you good, Hadley,” Zelda added, in between laughs.

“Oh! I’m coming back with full force. I’ll fear my return if I were you!” Hadley spat out with a smile on her face and Jojo chuckled as she walked away.

The girls continued to laugh and discuss. When Jojo returned with a bowl of ice and three champagne bottles, they all screamed and cheered for her.

Mel stood behind her with five champagne flutes. Some part of her was happy knowing that Jojo had worked with people who loved her.
