Sabrina

"Tell me what would it take to make you happy ? Don't hesitate to let me know." I let the words marinate in my head as I worked the pole. A smile crept on my face because of the song selection of DJ Tech. He knows I strip my best to August's music. A part of me just imagines I'm dancing and dancing only for him. Now I know what you're thinking but no, I have no feelings for August I'm just most comfortable around him. He gets me like no other man could. I climbed the pole and let my demons escape as I shimmied down into a split. That really sent the crowd jumping. I didn't notice until now that my biggest fan was sitting front row throwing every stack he had. I playfully crawled to him and he place a hundred in my bra. "Happy Birthday Sabrina" I pouted at him and he knew why. He knows how much I hate being called by my government name at the strip club. Right now I'm a different person, I'm Sasha. Never should the two meet. I should always remain Sasha here and Sabrina in the streets.  He thinks otherwise. "Thank You August" I whispered in his ear and kissed his cheek quickly so no one would notice. I pulled myself up on my knees and took my top off and tossed it to him. He chuckled and held on to it as a crawled to my next victim.

August

I think I like her dancing to my music, it's sexy but I hate that she does this. Any man would but I can't judge her. She's on her own, and she thinks that no one else can help her but herself. Her independence will be the death of her. Today's her birthday and I promised to pick her up so we could go back to my place and chill. 'I just want to be around my family' she said. When she says family she means it. It's not just me. We got a little boy together. One little mishap last year resulted in our 3 month old son Christian X'avier Alsina. I know she's my best friend but it was only once and we haven't had sex ever since then. She stop stripping during her whole pregnancy. She couldn't stand the idea of depending on me and just had to get back in the game. Don't worry it won't be for long though. I'll let her have her fun but I'll be damned if my son's mother will be stripping. Together or not, I still don't want another man looking at her like a possession rather a woman. She doesn't see it this way and she never will, but she can't do this forever.

As she finished her set she made her way backstage where I met her. "How's it feel to finally be 21" I said walking up behind her in her dressing room. "Ugh, like it's taken too long. I've been 21 since I was 14 anyway" she said jokingly as she stripped of her straps and heels. Before me she stood in her most natural state and even though I've seen her body millions of times it still gets me. I didn't even notice I was staring until she walked to her neatly folded Victoria Secret Pink Sweat Suit and Black Uggs. She tossed her untamed curls into a quick bun and turned and said "Alright I'm ready, let's go." She grabbed her Louis Vuitton Duffel Bag and led the way out of Teasers. (The Club) She walked to my white BMW as I popped the trunk so she could put her stuff in. We slid in the car at about the same time and as soon as her door close she said, "Ugh I miss my baby, hurry up and get me home." '' You know if you quit that thing you called a job you could stay home with him all the time." ''August please don't start. We've talked about this for so long you know the deal. I'm not quitting unless I absolutely have to" "Please Sabrina I mean you gotta see where I'm coming from. I've been your best friend since we were 2, we have a three month old son who needs his mother around now that he is so young. I make more than enough money to support the three of us for the rest of our lives, so why do you insist on being so independent. It's okay to need someone." She didn't say anything after that. I looked over and saw her sleeping. I shook my head and chuckled as I continued our way home.
