Got Mine
Nicole Loufas
Publication date: July 25th 2017
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
When his girlfriend joins the army; Theodore Sway is left to raise their daughter on his own. His shitty job barely covers the ever-rising cost of his San Francisco neighborhood. When Lulu is accepted at a hipster private school, Theo is forced to find a better job. He does what any good parent would – he becomes a stripper.
Theo sacrifices his ego, his morals, and his body hair so his daughter can have the kind of childhood he’s always dreamt about. With the encouragement of his not-so-helpful club brothers and Sylvie, his ex-stripper BFF, Sway struggles to maintain balance between his sexy stage persona and his role as the world’s okayest dad.
EXCERPT:
Most
of my parenting skills were derived from animated sitcoms and Adam Sandler
movies. My father rarely made a special appearance in my life, so guys like
Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin were my mentors. I’ve never strangled my
daughter or attempted to run her over with a car, and yet, I’d still take
second place to Homer for father of the year.
Because
one: I can’t afford a car.
And
two: I don’t have a killer job in a nuclear facility that probably offers an
excellent benefits package.
Fatherhood
has been a learn-as-you-go experience for me. I can’t tell you how many times I
wrapped my daughter in a t-shirt and plastic bag because I forgot to buy
diapers. Or fed her fish-shaped crackers and apple juice for dinner. And maybe,
just maybe, Lulu’s first word was shit.
Could’ve
been sit or spit.
Tonight,
I’m upping my game. I’m going full Mike Brady. Minus the suit and tie.
Minus
clothes period.
If
there is one thing television has taught me; it’s this:
Good
fathers make sacrifices.
Whether
it’s giving up on your dream to play professional baseball or shaving all your
body hair, good dads provide a better life for the people they love. Believe it
or not, there are men in this world who put their children first. I’ve never
actually met one of these unicorns, but I’m pretty sure they exist. If things
work out with my new job; I’ll be shitting rainbows by the end of the month.
I
turn off the shower, pull a towel from the silver bar on the wall, and perform
a sniff test. I try to hit the laundry mat once a week, but when you have to
decide between clean towels and eating; a case of ramen noodles wins every
time.
The
struggle is real; but it won’t last forever. One day I’ll have so many fresh
fucking towels I’ll need a closet to hold them all.
Goals.
Goals
are good.
Clean towels are even
better.
AUTHOR BIO:
Nicole was born and raised in California. She claims to be a San Francisco native, however she's lived in both Northern and Southern California. She credits her creativity to the fact that she attended 12 schools between kindergarten and her senior year in high school. Her nomadic childhood allowed her to reinvent herself often. Some might say she was a liar. While others see the stories she told as a coping mechanism. Twelve schools, in six cities, in twelve years - give her a break. Today she channels her storytelling ability into writing novels. Long story short - kids that lie become writers.
