and she had not been to visit her for ages. When was she coming home for a visit? All the usual stuff he wanted to know.
As five o'clock finally neared Asha, ducked into the staff bathroom to change her clothes. She didn't want to be going out in her work clothes again. She squeezed herself into a pair of tight skinny jeans and a fitted top which made her small chest look a little bigger. Eyeing herself in the mirror she decided she didn't look too bad. As always, she finished her outfit off with and a pair of tall boots. If there was one thing Asha had a weakness for, it was boots. The bottom of her wardrobe was bursting with various different pairs of boots, in almost every colour and style. Knee highs, ankle boots, suede, leather whatever she liked the look of. As she didn't drive she figured she might as well have good walking attire. That was her excuse anyway.
Grabbing her coat she walked out to the waiting area. Xavier was leaning on the front counter chatting with Gemma. He stopped when he saw her, his eyes lit up.
“Hey,” he smiled at her.
“Hey you,” she grinned back. “Ready to go?”
“Ready as I'll ever be,” she replied.
Xavier stretched an arm around her back and directed them to the door.
“Have fun kids,” Gemma called out. “Don't forget it's a school night.”
Xavier laughed. Asha loved that sound. His bike was parked just outside the glass doors and when they reached it he handed her a helmet. He climbed on and started the bike while she fiddled around getting ready. Then she climbed on behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist. As they zoomed off out of the car park, Asha turned to see Gemma standing by the door waving wistfully. Poor ol' Gem, she was such a hopeless romantic. Asha hoped one day she would find the man of her dreams.

Ten minutes in their journey, Xavier pulled into a narrow road and brought the bike to a stop, he helped Asha climb off, before alighting himself.
“What is this place?” she asked looking up at the old building with the broken neon light above it. It read 'Polly's Dollhouse' the 'e' on the end was falling off. Asha was a little confused, it looked somewhat dodgy and it was in a rough part of town. After they had gone out together to such a gorgeous little cafe, she really didn't understand.
“I want you to keep an open mind okay?” Xavier smiled at her. “You will love this place and there is someone here I want you to meet.”
“Okay,” she answered tentatively, her mind swirling with what that could possibly mean as they walked towards the doors.
Big, heavy wooden doors marked the entrance to the building. Xavier grabbed the handle of one and gave a push and the door swung inwards. Grabbing her hand he pulled her inside right behind him. A security guard in uniform stood near the entrance and gave Xavier a friendly nod. So he must come here often Asha noted.
Once inside Asha took a look around. The area was dimly lit, with long velvet drapes hanging from the tall windows. It reminded her of Xavier’s club, but was not open like his. Scanning the building she could see there were smaller rooms running off the main room, which held a well-stocked bar. Big beautiful crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, but the lights were dimmed giving it an alluring ambience. She could hear soft music playing somewhere in the background. A grand piano stood beside a small dance floor. Were those stripper poles she could see next to the dance floor? Oh, my goodness what is this place?
Whilst they stood taking in their surroundings two young women came rushing out of a room giggling. Both dressed in sexy lingerie. Had Xavier brought her to some kind of sex club? Asha's skin started to pebble with goose bumps. She was not okay with this. What impression had she possibly given him that he would think she would want to come to a place like this? He obviously had the wrong idea about her. Her stomach was coiling into knots and she was
