Unexpected Love

First night..

Robyn

The sound of Juvenile's "Back That Ass Up", blasted from upstairs. I was sitting at my vanity table in the locker room downstairs. Tonight was my first night dancing and I was beyond nervous. I really didn't want to do this in the first place but I really had no choice.

Being 20 and alone in America, it's the worst. With all my family and friends in Barbados, I was basically out here by myself. I just wanted to have a better life and thought coming here would be great so I could do and experience more but with no money and no support, there wasn't much I could do. Looks like I'll have to be doing this for a while until things get better and I'm financially stable to stop.

I got up and checked myself out in the full body mirror. I had on a white one-piece with a white snapback and white heels. I didn't have a very big butt or breast but I could definitely shake my ass.

"Hey girl, your on in 2 minutes," Sage, one of the dancers who I was first introduced to said.

"You nervous?" 

I looked at her and quickly nodded my head. She laughed.

"Girl don't worry about it. The way you move your hips, they'll love you. Just look straight ahead and not directly at anyone. This is Magic City, so make sure you do your ultimate best. We got a rep to maintain."

I did a couple breathing exercises and silently prayed.

"Right. Okay, I'm good now. Thanks a lot. Do I look okay?"

"You look great girl, stop stressing. Just do exactly like I said, look straight ahead and move to the beat. You a caribbean girl so you better show out."

We both laughed. I really liked her and had a feeling that we would become close.

"Come on, imma go up there wit you."

She grabbed my hand and led the way upstairs. When we got to the side of the stage, she pushed me up the little stairs behind the curtain and my nerves were shooting through the roof.

"I-I can't do it."

She grabbed my face with both her hands, "No Robyn. You CAN do it and you WILL. No ifs, ands or buts. Make that money girl. Do it for all the Caribbean girls around the world."

I laughed and felt a whole let better.

"Thanks Sage. What would I do without you?"

"Not a damn thing cause you would be a complete failure. Imma be right out there watching with everyone else. If you need somebody to look at, look at me. Okay?"

I could hear the DJ stop the music and begin to introduce me.

"Okay."

She smacked my ass then ran off.

"Here's a newbie, fresh out of Barbados. Ya know dem Caribbean girls run it and definitely gonna show you what she working with. Give it up for the slim and sexy, hazel-eyed beauty, Rihanna!"

The curtains opened and the red spotlight was directly in my face. A sped up version of "Pony" by Ginuwine started and I slowly, but seductively walked on the black stage.

I could hear the men whistling at me and at first, I looked to where Sage was, but my eyes focused on one particular person. I couldn't really see his face but he was sitting in the back with glasses on and I think he had on all black. I could just feel him staring at me and I was beginning to feel uncomfortable.

Taking my focus off him, I grabbed onto the pole and began twerking and moving my hips. Money started flying and a couple guys were getting hype and yelling for me to take my clothes off. I also heard Sage screaming for me which boosted my confidence. I climbed up on the pole and began doing tricks that I never knew I could do. The crowd really went wild when I began to take off my one-piece, slowly slipping it off each arm, exposing my perky breasts that sat up nicely.
