~Chapter 19~

As Shantell swayed her hips on the stage people began to turn their attention towards her. Tonight was packed that night so she came in, she wasn't going to come in tonight because she was tired of it.

She already has one of her dream careers, which is modeling thanks to jasmine. So tonight was her last dance, she mentioned it to the girls in the room weeks ago that she's be retiring from being a exotic dancer.

Simon was upset of course because two of his best dancers that brought the most money in are gone. But Shantell could care less about him. All she's focused on is reaching the top.

The purple lights beamed from her brown skin as her body twirled hypnotically around the cold pole. Bringing her arms to hold her body weight and clap her heels together.

Everyone at the club was mesmerized by her impressive performances. The way she held herself, her physique and the ability to do tricks in the air.

Sometimes Shantell liked dancing on the pole because it made her sweat. A good way to workout and gain more confidence in herself.

"I LOVE YOU SHANTI!" a very familiar feminine voice yelled from the crowd.

When shanti fell from the sky into a split on the ground she seductively felt herself as her eyes roomed in the crowd to find the person who yelled her name.

And there she was, jasmine in the crowd smiling hard as she threw money. Not ones, not fives, hundreds. Back to back.

The woman smiled and seductively walked to jasmine and began to grind into a squat. She rubbed her body in front of her as jasmine happily threw money on her body. She even put some in her floss just for the moment.

Shantell smiled and collected the money from jasmine as she grabbed her stage money and put it in her duffel bag for her.

The crowd cheered for her as she left the stage and ran to the back room where she could change her clothes.

"Hey fren!" Jasmine said getting up from the bench she was sitting on in the dressing room.

"Hey jasmine, what you doing here girl?" She questioned catching her breath as she took her floss off and changed.

"I came to see you for you last day, you know I had to show up for you"

"Thank you boo"

"No problem. I'm happy for you"

"I'm happy for myself, I came a long way." Shantell said finally sitting down next to jasmine.

"Aye I hear you. What do you plan on doing now?"

"Well I mean I got the modeling position a week ago and they said I start seriously this week. Then I'm trying to become a professional photographer in the meantime so yea, hopefully that takes off" she explained.

"Oh it most definitely should because that night at the beach when we took those pics, they were fye. But it should just have faith"

Shantell nodded as she sprayed perfume on her body and shoes on. Signing that she was ready to leave.

"Oh also I forgot to tell you something" jasmine said standing up.

"What is it?"

Jasmine brought her left hand up to push back her curled hair. Shantell was confused and not following along.

"Girl what is it"

"Ugh look"

She brought her hand to Shantell's view and when she looked down she noticed a bling on her ring finger. It was very big making her gasp.
