YN'S POV
" Yn baby It's almost show time come on honey get ready " Miss Dina spoke with her head peaked out from the doorway at our changing room.
But we just call her Miss D.
" Miss D said something about uh... Birthday party or some shit" Angela one of the Club girls says getting into my make up bag and I hit her hand.
" ouch, Yn come on " she whines and I shake my head as my curls bounce at the movement " I've been telling you and Cassidy to get your own stuff " I spoke pointing at her with my mascara. " shit what that gotta do with me " Cassidy asks abnoxiously chewing at her piece of gum " Cassie" I warn and she rolls her eyes taking out the piece of gum throwing it away.
" happy" she scoffs and I smile walking to her and plant a kiss on her forehead " Very much ".
" hey uh... Yn can I borrow your honey lipstick " Millie says and I nod putting on a pair of earrings." ok hold up now that's foul, how she allowed to take your shit and I ain't " Angela asks and I roll my eyes at her childishness " because she asked before taking it and she's not cussing " I emphasize cussing as I hit her arm lightly.
" What is it with you and cussing anyways " she asks drawing in the attention of the three other women in the room as it goes silent.
" It's bad " I simply say " Ma'am I'm sorry but look around, we shaking our asses for dollars ain't that bad enough " she asks making the others uhm in unison supporting her statement.
" let's get one thing clear, we're strippers but that doesn't make us any less human or any less of the next woman, We don't shake our asses for dollars, we dance to pay rent, pay hospital bills and to at least go to bed with a reasonable amount of food in our stomachs, I do not want to ever hear anyone of you think or say less about yourselves, we're all making a living, I mean sure it ain't behind a desk and fully clothed but if it's getting the bills paid on time it doesn't matter. We're strong beautiful independent women and honey sure we're showing a little for some money but these bodies work for us nobody else, now own that " I say.
They all look at me and smile at each other " we love you girl " we get into a group hug and I say a quick prayer, we break apart and get ready to go on stage.
ODELL'S POV
