"Passion let's go, you're next !"

I checked myself in the mirror one last time before going out to do my thing.

I haven't been to work in three nights cause of everything going on with Quan.

"Lady's and gentleman throw ya dollars in the air for Passssiiiioonnnn."

This is a strip club service announcement,
All yall muthafuckas thats around the stage
That aint spendin no money move the fuck back
I got my USDA niggas outside man
They hands holdin bout 50 thousand in ones man
Suga get bout 4 bottles of grey goose,
2 bottles of patron,
And somebody please bring me my raincoat right now

As the intro of USDA x Throw This Money blasted through the speakers I made my way on stage.

The crowd went crazy as they usually do, money flew from every angle.

Gone shake that ass bitch I'm a throw this money
Gone shake that ass bitch I'm a throw this money
Gone shake that ass bitch I'm a throw this money
I'm a throw this money, I'm a throw this money

All the things going on with my brother exited my mind.

I know he's okay and for once I wasn't worrying.

My ass shook as this fine ass stud and fem slapped it and stuck some ones in my thong.

I got down on my hands and knees as I arched my back and made my ass clap to the beat.

More money flew through the air.

"Taj !? Taj !?"

I kept dancing even though it sounded like someone was calling my name.

"Taj !!!?"

I turned as I kept dancing to see Ray staring dead at me with a beer in her hand.

She looks pissed.

"Alright alright.. Passion everybody."

My collectors came running out to clean up before the next dancer.

"Damn girl you did the damn thing."

Sweetness admired my body before rubbing herself down in lotion.

"Sweetness get ready !"

She checked herself in the mirror.

"Girl I'm bout to go."

"Already? I know its almost closing time but damn."

"Yeah. I got something to deal with. This girl I been tryna get to know saw me and she didn't know I do this until now."

She shook her head as she laughed.

"Trust me that has happen to all of us. Let's link up tomorrow."

"Let's go Sweetness."

I nodded my head as our announcer introduced Sweetness onto the stage.

My collectors finished putting my money in bands as they counted before I threw it all in my duffle bag.

I got dressed in some sweats and a hoodie with another jacket on top, my uggs, and a beanie.

I threw my hair up in a messy bun before making my way outside to see a pissed off Ray.

"So this what you do Passion?"

I shook my head.

"How did you know I was coming out?"

She drunk more of her beer.

"I didn't. I was gone chill out here till you did. Good thing I didn't have to wait long."

I stood there as she downed the rest of the beer before throwing the bottle across the parking lot.

"You drunk?"

"Nope. But when this shit start?"

I took a deep breath as I crossed my arms.

"Can you take me home?"

She shook her head.

"Nope."

My mouth dropped.

"Really Ray? You gone do this right now?"

She nodded.

"Ion fw strippers Taj."

"So before you was all for me but now you don't fw strippers. Yo you drunk. I'll call an Uber."

I got out my phone to call Uber as she walked to the car.

"Come on man, you driving."
