Love In A Lap Dance - Brendon Urie

Hustler

"Bunny, you're on in an hour. If you can do this well i'll put in a bonus at the end of the week" Leon said patting my back and then walking off. I walked over to the rack of clothes we had backstage and picked up the outfit I labeled as mine earlier. baby pink bra, matching mini skirt, thong, white thigh high stockings with bows on them and a pair of see through stilettos; coupled with her fake fur coat over it. I walked back to my station and put all these items on and looked at myself in the mirror. I pulled a smile and tried to convince myself that I was happy, it never works.

I'm originally from Mississippi. I came out to Las Vegas because I got to finish schooling two years early due to the fact i'm an 'intellectual' person (look where that got me now) and I accepted into a college around here for arts. As soon as I finished the degree I couldn't find a single job that wanted a girl with no experience and a shitty arts degree. I needed to find someway to make money and this was my only solution. I'm now 22 and one of the main girls at the club called Hustler, it's one of the nicer clubs surprisingly.

I put on my makeup and looked around the room to see a young looking girl that I hadn't seen before, she looked like she had been crying. I walked over to her and kneeled next to her.

"Honey what's wrong?" I asked putting my hand over hers.

"I don't want to be here" she said sniffling, I grabbed a tissue from the desk and wiped her tear stained cheek.

"I'm not going to say you'll get used to it, because not everyone does; but what I am going to say is that there is always a way to get out of here. What's your name?"

"I'm.. Leanne"

"you need a stage name sweetie. Like my name is Bailey but out there on stage it's Bunny"

"I don't know what to call myself"

"How about Lulu? Since you're name starts with 'L'"

"Lulu, I like that" she said with a giggle

"Honey you wont like that for long, now come on I see the name Leanne on the roster in 10 minutes. Let's get you all dressed up"

I went over to the racked and picked her out an outfit

"What size shoe are you?" I asked

"seven" she mumbled.

I picked her out something that suited her ginger half and fair complexion. she put on the clothes and looked at herself in the mirror.

"you look lovely, you're on in five minutes so get to the side of the stage. I'm straight after you so once you're done I'll do my routine then we can work the floor together. You do have experience on a pole right?"

"I did gym and dance in high school"

"That's good enough"

I walked over to Leon and said

"her name's going to be Lulu"

He nodded and walked into the sound booth. He announced her and I watched her walk out on stage and perform, she was a little shy at first as it was a large Saturday night audience and it was her first time. She eventually got the hang of everything and people were throwing money at her. As soon she walked off the stage she ran up to me and tightly hugged me. It was great seeing a childish and loving personality but it hurt to think that soon the carelessness charm in her eye would soon fade into nothing.

"Go hide behind the bar with Ronnie and tell him that I told you to go there while I do my set"

She nodded and made her way to the bar.
