"I'll be home soon baby" I say in a babyish tone, while snuggling up to Olso, my 2 year old Pomeranian pooch. I hated leaving him, if I had the choice I would stay with him all day, just watching crappy rom-coms together. My friends tell me it's weird to be as obsessed with a pet as much as I am, however he's my only form of company at home. I got him from a shelter just over a year ago, and we've been inseparable ever since. I kiss his fluffy bobble head before standing up, I turn the tv on so he doesn't get bored and grab my oversized bag before leaving my house.
With the radio in my car turned on full blast, I drive through the busy streets of California, of course it was 5x busier through the day, but at night, that's when all the party people came out, and that's how I made my living. I am not ashamed to say that I work at a strip club, the reason I'm not ashamed is because every night I come home with around 2-5k, (depends if I'm giving lap dances or not)
This job was not my first choice, I wanted to go to university and study law, unfortunately things didn't work out, my mother fell ill and she couldn't work to pay for my fees. I don't really mind though, I like my job, I've made a lot of great friends, and despite people thinking its a dirty job where old men perve on you, it's really not. It's much more then that, it's about having fun and making money while doing It. Plus the club I work at, barely any 'old pervy men' come in.
"Quinn thank god you're here!" My red headed friend shouts from the balcony, she had a silk robe round her and was holding a cigarette in her hand. I get out my car, and take my bag with me, I had a convertible and the roof was always down. The staff car park was pretty full now, it was coming along 11pm. In a hour of two it would be the peak of the night, that's where all the real money comes in. The majority of the money I saved up, but I also bought medicine and paid for surgeries for my mother.
"Macy my darling you look wonderful" I put on a posh accent and greet her with a cheek kiss, which we always did. Macy was my closest friends at the club, practically a sister. She had been here longer then me, and taught me the ways of being a stripper. Practically she took me under her wing and made me the star I am today. The club we worked at was for both males and females, which is why it's so popular, it gathered a bigger crowd, which meant more money. Like any place there was the highest rated strippers, and the lower rated. Macy was the highest rated female stripper and I was one of the most popular male strippers.
"You know my cousin I was telling you about, the one with the hot friend" Macy speaks, as she takes a long drag of her cigarette. Personally I didn't smoke, it made your clothes stink and your teeth yellow! Well that's what I heard anyway, I couldn't back it up as a true statement, as Macy's teeth were white as pearls. Perks of having money.
"How could I forget, Vic right?" I ask remembering back to the time I was sat at home watching Judge Judy with Olso, and stalking Vic's social medias. He really was a hot piece of meat, unfortunately he was in a long term relationship, with some guy I don't care to name.
"Right, well he's here tonight. Him and Matty broke up a few month back and I told him the perfect way to move on was to come and watch you." My eyes widen as she said that, what a cheeky bitch. I'd only met him once and that was at a Family party Macy had thrown for her brothers 21st.
"So you got him VIP tickets?" I ask her, raising one eyebrow while leaning against the railing. Our vip tickets meant that the person, was entitled to a strip tease and lap dance. They were allowed to touch, apart from private areas of course, also they were invited to the after party, which I usually didn't go to. Instead I prefer to go home and cuddle with Olso.
"I did indeed papi, and you're going to give him the time of his life" she winks at me. "Trust me if he didn't swing your way, I'd do the honours" she says biting her bottom lip making me laugh at her obnoxiousness. I roll my eyes and walk through the door to our dressing rooms, greeting the rest of our little family.
