Rose: aye newbie you on stage in five minutes
Charmaine: I -I can't do it, I'm scared (pacing back and forth)
Rose:( smirks) all you doing is just dancing naked in a room full of Niggas. Just pretend you home alone dancing in your bathroom
Charmaine:( sits down and starts shaking her leg) I'm so nervous
Rose: here ( lays some powder out in front of her) taste a little
Charmaine: I don't do drugs
Rose: it's just a little to make you feel relaxed ( pouring her a drink) drink this too
(Charmaine snorts the powder and downs the drink )
Rose: now go make that money
Charmaine pov: I started working at Club Dollar Bill a week ago. Today was my first solo dance and I was nervous as fuck. I gotta stack my money so I can get me and my baby a place of our own. My mama and Reggie are back together and he still tries little stuff but I just keep my mouth shut. I can't afford to be on the streets.
Oliver: hey Misty what happened to your friend Charmaine, she ain't been coming to church lately
Misty; well she was sick for a little bit but now she has a job
Oliver: is she coming this Sunday ?
Misty: oooh you think she's cute huh ?(smirking)
Oliver:(smiles) she is beautiful but I just wanted to hang with her. She seem cool
Misty: yeah okay(laughs) but I don't know if she's coming. I would have to check
Oliver: well let me know
Misty: sure will , see you later (grabbing her purse)
Oliver: be safe getting home
Misty: you too
( Misty leaves the church)
Charmaine pov: I was a dancer in high school so I got skills. I was still nervous but I tried to push that aside and do what I needed to do. I worked the pole and the money began flying to the stage. The men were cheering for me to get naked. Rose was watching me and she nodded and I began removing me top. This sent the club into an uproar. There was so much money up here I couldn't even see the stage anymore. Once I was done I made my way back to the dressing room and the bag men brought me my money. Then I was approached by Jayce the owner.
Jayce:(licks his lips) you did a good job out there Cotton
Charmaine: thank you Jayce
Jayce: no problem lil mama (walks away)
Persuasion: aww shit Cotton you did your thang, gotta teach me
Rose: she did alright (handing her a drink) want some more of that snow ?
Charmaine: no I'm good
Rose: well I got plenty if you need it....
