I straightened my curly brown hair as I squinting into the mirror, given that the light was so dull I was having trouble seeing where the rest of my curls were hiding. When I was done I turned off the straight iron and grabbed my makeup bag. I applied the dark eye shadow I do every time I came into work, and the dark red lipstick that made my brown eyes look darker then they really were. I took one more look at myself and agreed I looked fine, not that it mattered. It's not like my customers were paying attention to my face.

I got up and took off my rob, reveling the lingerie I was wearing . I put my heels on and walked out of the dressing room.

"Hey babe." Said Emily, another stripper that worked at Silver Reign with me. She was one of the sweeter dancers here, and had become a close friend of mine throughout the one year I've been working here. 

"Hey." I smiled. "You look hot." I laughed. 

"Thank youuuu." She sang, then began to laugh. We were standing behind the stage, waiting to be introduced. "Are we performing together tonight?" She asked.

"Well the schedule said I was on this stage at 9." 

"Damn I'm 15 minutes before you." She told me and I sighed. I hated when Mike made me perform by myself, yeah I've been here for a year, but I still considered the baby; since I'm 18 and I've been here the littlest of time out of all the strippers. 

I could here the heavy bass behind the curtains, and the sounds of drinks and men talking. I felt the nerves in my stomach start going crazy, like they always do when I'm about to perform. My palms were sweaty and clammy as they called Emily's stage name. She blew me a kiss and started her way out.

I giggled, and just swung my hips to the bass of her song. Once she was done, she came back and gave me a smile. "It's a nice crowd tonight, have fun." She kissed my cheek and wished me good luck before heading back to the dressing room. 

Before they called my name, I heard Mike begin with something else. "Before I introduce our next beauty, I'd like to announce we have someone special in the building tonight, everyone give a warm welcome to G-Eazy!" I was confused on who that was, but didn't really care. "This one's for you man, everyone please welcome the beautiful Maliah."

This deep, bumping bass began. It wasn't my song, and I started to panic. But I took a deep breathe and walked through the curtains. I strutted down the stage, and instantly made eye contact with this lean man dressed all in black sitting at the end of the stage. He was attractive, but I've never seen him before in the club. I got to the pole right in front of him, and began to do what I do best. As I danced, me and this stranger kept eye contact while he bit his lip. My heart started beating fast, and as I looked at this beautiful stranger all I could focus on was him and this forbes song blaring in the background, and as soon as the  bass dropped so did I.
