As I walk to Benny's , I'm listening to music to keep me calm cool and collected ..............
I tear up thinking about leaving my parents , I don't know why I was crying they treat me like I don't matter. I guess it's because they decided to at least take  me in I probably could've been anywhere , maybe dead.

I finally reached Benny's as I walk up to the door I turn around to see a beautiful lady with silky black hair and nice delicate shade of color . She looked as if she was younger than what she really is . I heard she was in her late 30s , but had the body of a nice sexy 20 year old . Nice size chest , wide in the hips , with a nice size butt . Could this be "Cinnamon" ?

I approached her slowly
"Hi , Ms.Cinnamon?" I said lowly"
"Hi , that is me" she said with a snicker
I was relieved.
"Excuse me Ms.Cinnamon I would like to work here..." I said in a shy voice . "It's just for the money"
"Well sweety you can't be timid Hun, but you have to talk to Benny" she said in a sweet voice
"Could you help me please" I begged
"Of course sweety follow me" she replied

As I walked and followed her through all the screaming men, and money flying everywhere , I tried to grab a dollar but I couldn't do it slick enough .
We walked into a big dressing room with a bunch of costumes and sexy clothing , and on the door was Cinnamons name.
"Okay sweety, these are some of my old costumes you can have them I can't fit anymore , so if you get the job you can share this room with me and have these clothes , but if you want to get the job you have to get out of those jeans baby girl" 
She gave me an outfit that was the total opposite of what I was wearing.
A fitted pink sorta see through shirt with a black leather skirt and  some pink and black zebra stilettos
As I put on the out fit I was wondering what I was gonna do with this hair , and did I need any make up ? I was more nervous than anything but I thought about what she said I can no longer be timid.
"You look so much older babe" she walking around circling me "now hair and make up"
She took the rubber band off my hair as it all fell she brushed it and combed it out
She took the rubber band and put half of my hair up and left the other half down , something different.
Now it was time for make up
"You're a natural beauty babe so lipstick is the only thing you need" she said proudly
She searched through her drawer for the brightest red lipstick she could find.
She put it on for me.
"You're finished sweetheart" she said
I walked to the mirror and thought
"This is just the beginning"
I loved it.
"So now it's other girls in Benny's office so they will mug you because you're prettier and younger but they won't do anything and remember you can't be shy" she said "confidence is key"
She showed me too his door
"Now I have to go do my first show for tonight if you get the job meet me back in my dressing room"
She gave me a hug and continued on
I knocked on the door
"Come in" a deep voice said
As I walked in I greeted him with a seductive smile and said " I need a job" twisting my hair waiting impatiently for an answer
"Who is this chick?" I heard a girl mumble to another one of "Benny's babes"
"Hmph what's your name lil mama" he said with a smirk looking at me up and down
"I'm Journey but you can call me Jay" I winked at him and sat in his leather seat
He admonished my confidence and my flirtatious attitude.
"So if you get the job , what will your stage name be?" He asked
"Well if I get the job I'll let you know" I said while getting back up walking up to him
"You start tomorrow be here at 8" he said
I flipped my hair slowly , walked out and said "the name's Ice"
I ran back to the dressing room to see Cinnamon counting up her money from tonight , I began to think about me , that's going to be me by tomorrow .
"So I see someone got the job missy" she snickered
"Yes I'm so relieved"I said as I start undressing to take the clothes off and put my other clothes back on
"So get here earlier than 8 tomorrow , maybe 7 and I could teach you some moves for your first show"  she said
I wonder how she knew I started tomorrow but I didn't bother to question
I left and headed back home to grab my suitcase and was on my way to Zariah's
