Valerie:

Drinking and drugs have been my lifeline for a while now. Between my Dad cheating on my mother a while back and living from pay check to pay check, it's been hard. Working at a strip club to make a living made it even worse. With the support from my mother i've been able to keep myself together. She bought me my own apartment when i moved out and has been paying for my school, without her i don't know what i'd do.

"Valerie...Valerie..."

Picking my head up off my best friends shoulder, i realized we weren't moving anymore. We were at our club. We worked the floor together and we gave people private dances. Being a stripper brought us in a lot of money but it still was barely just enough to make us through each month living in the heart of California.

"thank you have a good day"

I stepped out of the uber as Mia followed behind me. Grabbing onto my duffel bag i entered the club and went back to the changing rooms.

"i'm so sick of this place."

Mia:

"girl you tell me i've been working here longer than you have. We need us some rich niggas"

Valerie:

"ain't that the truth"

Laughing with Mia i slipped on my high heels and took a shot of alcohol. Touching up my hair i heard my boss call me.

Greco:

"a few people bought dances in the VIP section i need you guys to go over there"

Valerie:

"okay one second"

Fixing my heel we left the changing room and started to walk over to the VIP section. As we got closer to the section we smelled strong weed and heard loud laughter, everyone who came in knew that nothing other than alcohol was allowed.

"i hate these kind of people, they never follow the rules, like how hard is it to not smoke and to not touch someone if they tell you not to??"

Since we've been dealing with people like this for a while now, we can immediately tell when someone was going to give us a hard time.

Mia:

"i know, i don't know why we haven't started banning those type of people, if i don't want a nigga feeling me up then i don't want a nigga feeling me up!"

Valerie:

I started laughing with mia as we turned the corner. Walking down the hallway i opened the VIP door to see a group of men all wearing XO merchandise.

Hawk:

"took them long enough "

Abel:

"i want that one"

Pointing at the girl with the long dark brown curly hair, she started walking towards me and sat on my lap. She started to grind on me so by habit i put my hands on her waist.

Valerie:

"no touching please."

I continued to grind myself on him when i felt him touch my waist again.
