Angel

Hiarchy

Angel had started working at "Diamonds" about a month ago, which meant she was still considered a newbie. she was constantly tested by the other girls, some of them had been working there for years. seniority, whoever had worked there the longest, usually was the head gal, the prettiest, and the one who made the most money.  

"Diamonds" was the club in the heart of Dade County, known for their "girl next door" type of girls, very classy and expensive ladies. girls who applied and got the job always started on the day shift. once they proved their skills most were added to the night shift...that's where the money was to be found.  

Angel enjoyed the day shift, of the seven girls on shift with her, she managed to take home twice as much as the others and it didn't go unnoticed. 

Manny, the club owner had been watching his newest addition...the spicy redhead. she was different than the others, he noticed one evening while sitting at the bar talking with the bar tender. she had the whole club entranced with her dancing, including the girls! she was on stage clearly enjoying every second. it was like gravity he just needed to be closer to her. he slipped into one of the seats in front of the stage and pulled out a stack. the other girls were now watching intently...Manny didn't spend money on girls, the only girl he ever tipped was Deanna, a 25 year old brunette, who had worked there since she was twenty. whispers claimed they were secret lovers. she too watched intently, her lips pursed in annoyance. 

Angel knew this was her moment, every pair of eyes was on her. she twirled and swayed with the music, completely losing herself she closed her eyes and let her body move. Manny had never seen such an erotic sensual dance, just watching her move so passionately, he could almost feel what it would be like to have her for one night. he threw his entire stack of bills and stood clapping for her. she climbed down and Manny was there to great her. 

" Hi Manny!" She smiled cooly, as she put her lingerie back on.  

"what a fantastic dance....I don't think I got your name." he replied. she wasn't surprised he didn't know her by name but the fact that he wanted to know meant something. 

"I'm Angel" she answered, offering her hand in a hand shake. he chuckled and shook her hand. how many strippers introduced themselves so formally? he thought." thank you so much for the tips" she added quickly.  

"oh sweety that was nothing. you're very welcome. I was thinking that you would make an excellent addition to our night girls...that is if you're interested." he offered. 

" I would love that, Manny, thanks! when should I start?"  

" how about tonight? you usually leave at ten when the night girls come in but why don't you stay tonight and see what you think of the night shift?" he asked 

"sounds good, Manny. " she replied. he smiled and took her by surprise by wrapping her in a hug and kissing her forehead.  

"remember to be safe, my dear Angel, have fun tonight." he whispered in her ear before turning away towards his office.  

Angel, momentarily stunned by the encounter, was brought back to reality by her most loyal and trusted friend, Kitty.  

"WHAT just happened?" the spunky petite black girl asked. 

"He just asked me to do night shift!" Angel replied in an excited whisper. kitty noticed other girls walking their way so she grabbed her friends arm and dragged her to the end of the bar.  

"OMG!" she quietly squealed, "AND he tipped you! gurl, he don't even tip me!" 

"I know" Angel replied, "Deanne is not going to be happy."  

kitty laughed "good. she needs to be put in her place."  

"hey, ladies, you want a drink?" Max, the bartender, interrupted.  

"hellz yeah! how bout a cranberry vodka, pretty pleaseeee" kitty asked, making herself comfortable on the bar stool. 

"alrighty, and for you, Angel?" he asked, his blue eyes roaming over her almost exposed cleavage.  

"same for me, thanks Max." she replied turning her attention back to Kitty, 

"so are you working tonight too?" 

"yep I sure am. I'm so excited you'll be there....the girls at night suck. they. are. so. mean." she replied. 

"great. should be fun" Angel laughed.  

"you'll make a lot of money if you stay focused. the only problem with night shift is there's so many girls. you'll only dance on stage probably three times." Kitty explained. Angel tried to hide her discomfort, she wasn't used to competing with a lot of girls. Kitty smiled at her silence and grabbed her hand. " don't worry we'll tag team tonight until you get the hang of it" she said reassuring her. Angel smiled, she loved tag teaming with her. they worked great as a team and would get a lot of guys to go V.I.P. with the both of them.  

"here you go, Ladies," Max set down their drinks with a smile, "on the house!" 

Angel stirred her red drink with the small straw and slowly took a sip....the alcohol burning her throat on the way down. she loved it. she glanced up and saw Max staring at her intently. "how's it taste?" he asked, his arms folded on the bar and his eyes level with hers.  

"amazing like always, Max" she replied, turning her attention back to Kitty who was furiously texting and swearing under her breath.  

"I was, um, wondering if....maybe on my break you could give me a lap dance?" Max quietly asked. Angel stared into his eyes, searching for....something. was he messing with her? was she allowed to give "coworkers" dances? she glanced at Kitty who had stopped mid text and and was giving her a raised eyebrow look. "I'll pay forty five for the usual three songs." he quickly added, noticing her hesitation. 

"shit I'll do it for twice the normal price." Kitty responded. she slipped off the stool and grabbed her drink. as she slipped by Angel she whispered, "just do it, its a good deal."  

Angel laughed at her friends simple response. she was all about making money, but she would have told her if it was a bad idea. Angel sighed. 

"Alright, Max. when is your break?"
