Burlesque Dancer

Chapter 2

"How much to Los Angeles"?

"One way or round trip"? The guy at the booth asked.

"You kidding right". I said rolling my eyes and paying.

After paying and waiting for the bus I decided just to head to the wash room just to see if my makeup was still okay and not smudge across my face.

The speaker said... people boarding the bus may now go.

And with that I was off to Los Angeles!

On the bus I fell asleep and when I woke up I say the Hollywood billboard.

The bus came to a stop and I went to my apartment.

I started unpacking my stuff and cleaning a bit of my apartment. I also put some spare money into a bag and into top of the toilette. (For multiply reasons).

After unpacking I wrote a post card. but then decided not to send it to my mom, because I didn't really want anyone knowing where I was.

After finally settling into my apartment I decided to head out with a paper and pen to see where I could possibly work.

After walking for half the day. It was finally night and I keeled walking until I found what look to be a strip club. But I wanted to investigate more.

I headed inside and heard jazz music.

"We may not have windows but we do have the worlds best view on sunset strip". This man with a lot of eye makeup on but dressed very festive.

"20 bucks".

"What is this place? Is it a strip club"? I asked very curious.

"Strip Club? Honey I should watch your mouth. The only pole you'll find in there is Natasha the shot girl". He said getting mad.

"Baby cakes, I gotta club to fill here"!

"Right, Sorry". Handing him the $20.

"Enjoy"!

I walked into and the show started. I just stared at the stage. Amazed of what I was seeing...

Welcome to Burlesque.

The song ended and everyone clapped. I decided to go to the bar.

"Can I get you a drink" This handsome guy with dark brown hair and amazing biceps asked.

"Only if your buying" I said sarcastically.

"Welcome to LA". He said.

"I like you".

"Where are you from"? He asked turning around getting another drink ready. As I replied with.

"Iowa".

"Nebraska" He said holding up a glass and I bottle.

"We are practically retaliated". He said with a smirk.

"Don't you look familiar". I said also with a smirk. I looked back at the stage to see the girls still looking fabulous.

"Who does a girl have to flirt with to get from here to up there". I asked.

"Is this you flirting"? He replied and I chuckled.

"For someone wearing more eyeliner than me"? I clarified.

"Touché... Fine, right through that door over there, ask for Tess, she's your guy... flirt away". He pointed

"Thanks" I was about to get up but as soon as I did he asked...

"Iowa, Here's my name". He replied with a business card.

"Thanks Jack". I responded and went through the doors he pointed out.

I looked around and saw sparkles everywhere, girls putting on makeup, fixing there hair and putting on there outfit. I started to walk and I saw this girl that was tripping on her on feet over to this lady and a man.

"Tess, I lost a contact on stage"!

"Okay, if you fall off the stage... Legs extended, boobs out. Tess replied.

"Remember you're a goddess". The man said.

"Thank you Sean"! The girl replied.

"Thank you Sean"! Tess imitated her as she walked away.

I started to walk to walk up to this guy named Sean.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Tess".

He pointed to this amazing looking gal with beautiful black hair and amazing cheek bones. I walked towards her and asked...

"Hi, are you Tess"?

"And you are in my mirror because"? She asked not impressed.

"Oh sorry, I'm friends with Jack and I'm looking for a job".

"And where have you danced"?

"At home mostly but I can move".

"Okay, give your name and number to Sean and he'll let you know when we are holding audition". She said.

"And when will that be"?

"Sean, hunny where the hell is Nicki she is late again".

"Oh, I'm never late". Reassuring her for multiply reasons.

"Alright that's great, we are trying to put on a show right now, so why don't come again next time".

"Okay, ya, It's just I really need a job and I love it here".

"Leave your name and your number with Jack and will call you I promise". Sean said.

I headed back down to Jack when I saw the waitress having problems, so I picked up a tray and started working.

I brought the glasses over to the bar, where Jack was and gave him the orders...

"One shot of patron and tough guy with the hat over there wants a Cosmo".

"What are you doing"? He asked very curios.

"One night, if not as good as boobs for brains over there you don't have to pay me".

He let me off the hook and the night was over so I headed home and woke up the next day at 3:30pm so I decided just to get ready for work. As soon as I was finished I grabbed my keys and my purse and headed out the door.
