Dance for Me

35

REMI'S POINT OF VIEW:

After a long, amazing sleep in a soft, warm bed, not having to worry about the environment, I can't seem to make myself get up. It's weird, you know? I've been waking up with a cold burning nose, my fingers and toes numb from the winter air. Sometimes it felt like I couldn't breathe, it was so cold. Not only that, but I had to be aware of my surroundings. Sure that one guy knew I was a stripper and didn't seem to want trouble, but he sure told Andy, and what if he was some creep? He could have mugged me, or worse....I shiver. I don't even want to think about it anymore. Only now I'm not scared if I feel arms around me, I am the calmest I've ever been in such a long time. His minty scent puts me in a whole different universe.

We were up so, so, so late last night. More people kept coming over and Andy wanted to stay down. I hope he doesn't feel like I'm suffocating him too much...god I hope not. Maybe I should give him some space? Yeah, probably.

Nothing really happened last night except for Andy being blitzed out of his mind and the couple of beers he drank. Well...and that whole Austin thing. When Andy left me alone with him the nice flirty boy act dropped so quick and he became this whole different person. He even threatened me! All because he wants Andy to himself. Told me I'm using Andy for his money. And I guess since I'm a sex worker...I must be nasty and desperate. Yep. Totally.

I do believe Andy when he said he was just a one night stand. I just don't want anymore trouble and Andy is already dealing with mine...I feel so fucking bad. Never in my life did I want anyone to be financially over me and that's how it feels when he's offering to pay off my debt. But since I'm living here with him, I can just use the money I was saving.

I twist to reach the night stand and Andy groans, pulling me to his chest again. "No I'm comfy."

What a scary gang leader.

"Babe I need my phone...ughhhh," I break through his grasp and grab it from the charger cable, groaning and laying back when I notice it's 12:30. I have to be at the club by 3.

"Don't go in today," he starts kissing on my collar bone. Oh hell no.

"I need money to live Andy," I groan, pulling myself up from the bed.

"I can pay you to stay home you know!"

I look at him and roll my eyes. What, and prove Austin he's right? No thanks.

"I'm no longer accepting money for sex," I turn my nose up at him and walk away. I walk to the bathroom and lean on the doorway, biting my bottom lip while he's looking directly into my eyes.

"Well, at least not from you," I wink, turning around to get the shower started.

I squeal when I feel myself being picked up and tickled, oh god I can't stand it!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I laugh, tears springing in my eyes. Andy lifts me up onto the counter and smirks at me, yes big boy I know you won.

"I really do have to get ready for work though," I look up at him, god I love his blue eyes.

"You never told me though," he places his hand on my cheek, rubbing my face softly. "Are you going to continue to do sex work or are you going back to stripping...what's going on?"

Is Andy nervous? Oh wow. "I, I don't think, no, I for sure am not um, selling myself anymore. I don't like it."

He nods and kisses my forehead. "Good, because I was going to be really jealous and I don't know how to act when I get that way."

Oh shut up you big idiot it's just a job. "I think I'm going to continue the private dances though, it's been bringing me a lot of money."

"Babe booooooooooo," he wraps his arms around me and rests his head on my shoulder. "I don't want you touching anyone else."

"Andy, it'll just be a lap dance. If anything I'll only be grinding on them and talking dirty. Nothing else."

He picks me up and places me in the shower, getting in right behind me. Ugh the warmth feels so amazing on my back.

"You know, I remember my first lap dance with you, and you told me, what was it, I could only touch your ass, waist and arms? That's my ass!! They can touch your arms I guess."

"What, what's wrong with my arms?" I giggle. "You don't like my arms?"

Andy grabs the shampoo and starts massaging my scalp and ahhhhh, it's making me sleepy. "I even gave you a hard on, remember? What if some other guy gets you hard?"

I let him rinse the soap out of my hair and sigh, I love clean feeling hair. "Baby, I was so lonely back then and I was scared of being alone. I slept alone every night and hope and prayed I wouldn't get attacked by Drake...now I'm clean, I'm dating an amazing man, might not agree with his career choice but his huge ass dick makes me forget about it."

Andy laughs out loud and holds me close to him, kissing my neck. "Okay...okay... I don't like it...but just promise me no funny business, okay?"

His insecure side is actually pretty cute. It's nice seeing him so vulnerable, reminds me he is human. "No funny business."

We continue to wash each other until we are all soaped up, ready for the day...even though it's already half over.

Once my hair is spiked and I have my eyeshadow on, I pack my outfit and am about to leave. "Oh hey babe?"

I turn around with my phone out, about to request an Uber. "Hm?"

"James is taking and watching over you tonight. He is waiting downstairs."

Ugh great, a babysitter.
