Somewhere in Africa

36. Trapped and troubled

Kesha's POV

Standing in the dark on stage, I waited for the spotlight to be turned on. It was Alex's birthday and I was doing a little dance for him while he sat with his friends. It was a beautiful night and I was determined to have fun. Wearing a leotard tassel sparkling bodysuit, I stood confidently with my dark curly long wig on and my back turned to the little audience.

* I just wanna show you how much I appreciate you, yes
Wanna show you how much I'm dedicated to you, yes
Wanna show you how much I will forever be true, yes
Wanna show you how much you got your girl feeling good, yes

I started moving the moment the song jammed starting with my hips and ending with my hair. Colorful lights were on making it easier for us. Miley stood by my left and Sia to my right as my backup dancers. Betty holding the mic spoke,

"This is for you Alex" she crowed, and the crowd cheered, a look of curiosity and ecstasy beamed on their faces as we danced.

I fixed my gaze on Alex who sat among his friends. It's been a long week since my incident with papa and this was exactly what I needed. Tonight I'm gonna make sure Alex never in his fucking life mess with me again. Yes, that's right, I still haven't forgotten about him kissing me at de Rock club and then saying I'm not his type. Like hell, I'm not.

*Loving you is really all that's on my mind
And I can't help but to think about it day and night
I wanna make that body rock
Sit back and watch!
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you, oh
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you, oh
Tonight I'm gonna put my body on your body
Boy, I like it when you watch me, ah
Tonight it's going down

Our bodies slowly tease with the rhythm playing, we grind our hips on each other. I was seductive, I was confident, I was persuasive, I was a good dancer and I knew how to play every card right. I wanted to captivate and trap everyone whose eyes were glued on me.

*I'll be rocking on my babe, rocking, rocking on my babe
Swirling on my babe, swirling, swirling on my babe
Baby, let me put my body on your body
Promise not to tell nobody
'Cause it's about to go down

Walking towards the stripping pole, I seductively pointed to him while Miley and Sia lean on me simultaneously hands dancing in the air. I was the wind and they were the water dancing to my tune. We did erotic moves as I dance around the pole passionately.

*A woman in the street and a freak in the you know what
Sit back, sit back, it's the pre-game show
Daddy, you know what's up
Loving you is really all that's on my mind
And I can't help but to think about it day and night
I wanna make that body rock
Sit back and watch

I loved the attention I was getting, the guys were in awe staring at me like their prey. I smiled shaking my shoulders and pushing my hair backward, in accordance with Miley and Sia. Slowly raising my leg around the pole, I climbed and started moving with the rhythm. At some point doing a 360degree rotation.

I was the wind allowing gravity to pull me to any position that was suiting. I smirk, watching Alex's eyes dancing around my body as he drinks his liquor. Asshole, He's probably thinking the words on Beyonce's song is meant for him. He has no idea what's in store for him, Didn't he say I'm not his type? Let's see about that Alex Brown.

*Tonight I'm gonna put my body on your body
Boy, I like it when you watch me, ah
Tonight it's going down
I'll be rocking on my babe, rocking, rocking on my babe
I'll be swirling on my babe, swirling, swirling on you, babe
I wanna put my body on your body
Promise not to tell nobody
'Cause it's about to go down
