Hoe Chronicles

Asia

Two years ago

I couldn't believe my ears. The doctors were telling me that my mama, the only person I had in this world had just died. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago, but I always thought she wouldve beat it.

"Sweetie I'm sorry, it was nothing we could do" My mom's main doctor said to me as I sobbed in one of the nurse's shoulder. " Is there someone I can call to come get you" the doctor asked. I shook my head no. Me and mama didnt have any family. My grandmother passed when i was 8. My mom had an older sister but her and my mom were never close.

I remeber my mom telling me her sister left her and grandma to move to Canada with a rich white guy. After that she cut all ties with them. I never knew my dad he left when I was born, so It was just always my mom and I.

" Is there any family member or friend of the family who can take u into care" i gave him an aggravated glare " look mister I don't have anyone, the only person I had was her" i pointed to my mama's lifeless body laying on the hospital bed.

He had a remorseful look on his face "ok well how bout you go with nurse Sheila to the cafeteria to get something to eat. I'll contact child services" when he said the last part my head jerked. " for what?" I asked. I was very aware of what they do and no way in hell was he about to call them for me. " Sweetie you're only 16, so by law u need a legal guardian to live with. They will find u a nice home and-" "no" i cut him off " I will be 18 in two more years I'll just go back to me and mama's house. I can look after myself" he shook his head "how will you pay the rent for the house" he caught me off guard with that question "i-i dont know, I guess i can drop out of school and get a job"

He was about to say something but a white skinny lady walked into the room. She came up to me and reached out her hand for a shake" hi, Asia im ms. Kacey" i looked at her with a confuse expression and left her hand hanging "ok, do I know you..." "im with child services. Nurse Sheila called me. I'm sorry to hear about your mother but im going to make sure we find u a good home" i looked around the room and couldn't believe I had no choice. ..or did i? " come on asia, we can go down to my office then later I'll let you stop home to pack your belongings"

She reached for my arm but i quickly moved away "Im not going!" With that being said I quickly ran down the hall to the nearest elevator. On the way I bumped into that old hag nurse Sheila. It's her fault ms. Kacey was here "Asia where are u going? " She yelled behind me as I got on the elevator " fuck u nurse Shelia u old snitch" i yelled back as the elevator doors closed.

I know that was rude but she shouldve stayed out of my business. Soon as i made it to the first floor i ran out of that hospital and to the nearest bus stop. I didnt know where I was going but i know i had to leave i couldnt look back.

Present

I sat in front of the vanity doing my make up and hair. My boss Rick walked behind me "Asia u on in 10" he said as he did an look over of my attire " i know Rick i been working here for 2 years now, I'm pretty sure I know my stage time by now" i said rolling my eyes. He chuckled "You lucky I like yo lil ass Asia so ima let that lil attitude slide"

"yea ok Rick you know im one of the best in here so of course u gonna let it slide" it was true i bring in many customers on my nights " u some else girl" he said walking away. If your wondering yes im a stripper now.

That day my mom died i was walking along the street of New orleans trying to plan my next move when a all black range Rover pulled up beside me. I guess it was obvious i was having a shitty day because the driver asked what was wrong. He ended up buying me food and after i told him everything he let me crash at his place and offered me a job at his club he own. He said i looked older for my age so i would fit right in with the crowd.

    I thought I would be a bartender, but little did I know i would be shaking my ass for random niggas. Now I can't complain because at the age of 18 i have my own place, two cars, and stacks for days. I don't plan on doing this forever but right now i love getting this mullah.

After i finished my make up I saw one of the bartenders trinity coming through with shot glasses " yo Trin hook a bitch up" She came over and gave me two shots of henny. I thew both of em back feeling the burn in my throat. "i needed that" i said to myself. Drinking before a show always give me that boost of energy and confidence I need. Lots of the other strippers do coke or some other crazy drug before there performances but I ain't fucking with that shit.

I walked backstage waiting for the dj to introduce me. A stripper named peaches was collecting her last bit of money before exiting the stage. She been here for five years. She taught me a few things when I first got here, so she cool people. " i got em ready for u girl" She said as she came to where I was standing.

The dj began to announce me " its 12' o clock yall know what that mean. We bout to bring to the stage someone that gets down and dirty. Ya'll all know and love her. Not only will she make it hot, she'll burn this bitch down. Red Hot!!!!!" The crowd started cheering i walked on stage as throw some mo started playing through the speakers.

After my performance. I collected all my money and went to the back to count it. "daaaaamn i see my bish balling tonight" I looked up to see my bestfriend Kandy. Me and her hit it off the first day I started. She was a newbie just like me at the time and she was one year older than me. We've been close eversince.

" of course hoe gotta get my paper. The crowd thick for a Tuesday so u bout to make some big bucks too" She did a fake booty pop "alright alright alright" i shook my head and laughed at my crazy friend.

After i counted my money which came up to $2373 i took out Rick's cut and put the rest in my personal locker. "Well girl im finto go get ready for my show" kandy said " ok ima go bring Rick his money than go do a couple lap dances before I go" She nodded. I made it to Rick's office and walked right in. I saw pumpkin old ass,one of the strippers, on her knees giving Rick head.

He looked up when he saw me " damn, why u never knock" " because my name asia" " cant u see im a lil busy what u need" i looked down at pumpkin and twisted my lips "yea i bet here's your money" i threw the bag on his desk and started to walk out "asia" Rick called out i turned around to see what he wanted "this could be you, but u be playing" i made a disgusted face "hell nah Rick im good let pumpkin have that" i said leaving out. Rick fucks a lot of his strippers but he aint bout to get me with his old ass.

As I went on the first floor to do some lap dances i spotted one of my regulars. He always come in here with his crew and may I say they always show a sister some love. "hey requan" i ran my hand down his chest. "What's good ma" he wasn't all that but he wasn't bad looking neither.

He was brown skin with big lips and big ears, but he had pretty white teeth and waves for days in his hair. He was slim with a couple of tats and a lil muscle. " tryna see what u wana do tonight daddy" i said rubbing my butt against him. I could tell he been smoking some gas because his eyes was low. " how about we go to the back room so u can give me one of those private dances" he said slapping my butt. I smiled and grabbed his hands leading the way knowing we will be doing more than just dancing. Hey might as well get me some dick while we at it.
