    Walking the streets of Las Vegas at midnight is something I've done a handful of times. Typically I would be running errands or meeting with someone, but, tonight I'm doing this in the favor of a friend.

    Here I am, surrounded by the sounds of chatter and drunken laughs. Groups of women walk past in thigh-high boots and mini dresses followed by men who wore button downs and slacks.

    Gusts of wind would pass by and dance through the black strands of my hair. The many lights that lit up the strip would beam down on my Gucci tracksuit — the rhinestones on it simmering from time to time.

    I kept my chin up and my shoulders back. My arms stayed by my side and my hands were tucked away in my pockets. I walked with a manner that screamed I wasn't the one to be messed with.

    "You should really loosen up."

    That's a voice I know all too well. My best friend and sidekick, Do-yeon. She walked beside me, practically watching my every move. She's the type of friend to keep you in check at all times.

    "You can let your guard down just a little you know?" she said in concerned tone. "I'm aware of that Do-yeon, I'm just a little on edge. Haven't been out in a while" I spoke.

    "That's exactly why I dragged you out here. You're always working. Dealing drugs, counting money, bickering with people about what they own you. It's like you never rest."

    "That's because the hustle never stops." I said with a toothy grin. "And you work just as much as I do. Don't act like you don't enjoy kicking ass on all of our runs." I said teasingly.

    "I enjoy it but I also take time for myself, which is something you never do. You need a break, and that's exactly why you're going to let loose tonight and enjoy your time at this club." she said, with excitement laced in her voice.

    This evening, she came up with the idea to go to a strip club. I agreed with her, not only to clam her nerve but because it's a Saturday night which is one of the best nights to go.

    Me and Do-yeon got a ride from our mutual friend Abdul. We were only able to make it halfway before Do-yeon suggested walking. She says fresh air is good for the mind — I agree with her on that one.

    I let out a sigh of relief once we'd reached the club. A marquee board above the building read "The Ladies Of Vegas". Me and Do-yeon haven't been here in ages. The bouncer checked our ID's and we made our way inside once we were in the clear.

    The smell of alcohol filled the air. You could practically feel the music pumping through the floors and the atmosphere was cloudy, hence the hookah pipes located in every corner of the room.

    "I'll go get us some drinks." Do-yeon said. I nodded and went over to the stages. There were multiple girls on poles doing what they do best. In all honesty, I've missed this place.

    If it isn't obvious enough the thought of being sexually intimate with a man makes me want to vomit but with a woman? That's a different story. Do-yeon on the other hand swings both ways and Abdul stands with me when it comes to dating.
