Hold Me By The Heart

After the two girls took turns sipping out of the bottle they both stood up at the vanity admiring themselves in the mirror. That was the part about stripping that was extra important. Many people don't realize that men will pay for anything that looks , and sounds good. Every night , day in and day out these women have to put on skimpy outfits and sell a fantasy. A fantasy that would come true for many, depending on how much cash you're willing to throw their way. But Lela and juniper weren't like that. They didn't play for pay. And stripping wasn't a long term plan for either of them. But they had to hustle. Especially if they wanted to make it to where they wanted to be in life. Considering the fact that they were both up and coming social media influencers they had dreams of real careers and also they were both enrolled in college. They had to make sure that they had a bag to push their brand and also to make sure that their tuition was paid in full. As Juniper took a mental note  of every little detail on her body , down to her make up, to her hair, and to her sparkly, sequin brassiere and her sequin string bottoms that left nothing to the imagination. Her manager Juan came rushing into the back looking stressed as usual. As he quietly admired her and Lela he finally broke his silence. "Lela. Juni. I need you two to do me a favor". As the two brown skin girls turned around they already knew what Juan was going to ask them. Lela sighed. "You want us to work the VIP private room with Ja Morant and the grizzlies". She asked excitedly.

See Juni was a big NBA fan and she also followed Ja on Instagram. She knew almost everything about him just like everyone else on the internet. From his drunk social media lives and his many dramatic twitter posts. That man couldn't stay off his phone even if you paid him. As Juan smiled at them sweetly he said "You two are my best most professional girls and I need you tonight. You all will go to the room. Give them a few dances. And you know if anything happens you can press the emergency button under the counter top ". They both nodded slowly. Because a lot of big ballers came in nightly it also came with big problems.

That was the thing about the job. Every night you were coming in contact with drunk men who are either trying to fuck you or trying to force you to fuck. "Okay. But I swear If anything goes wrong , I'm keeping my tip out". Juni exclaimed. As Juan nodded his head the two girls now ready for their long shift headed out of the door. As they got closer and closer to front of the club "Bounce back" by Big Sean was blasting through the speakers. As they came around the corner all you could see were women on the stage spinning around the pole and clacking their heels together as a pool of money covered the floor. There was even one dancer on her hands and knees with her face pressed up against the stage floor , twerking slowly as a man slipped money into her thong. "Damn her shit moving like water." Lela exclaimed as she sat staring at the woman. It was almost as if she were in a trance. "Focus!" Juni said with a small laugh. 

As the two women took took in the scenery they both walked towards the bar grabbing the two big liquor bottles off of the counter top. One was a tall , skinny, brown bottle of Don Julio and another was a tall wide bottle of Casamigos. You know Ja loves his Casa. As they held the bottles tightly they headed to the back, going down the long hall way. As they made it to the last room , Lela opened the door slowly. Walking inside they could feel all eyes on them. "Damn lil mama". She could hear Ja call out.
