AZALEA DIAMOND TAYLOR
I ADJUSTED THE STRAPS of my all black, studded corset. I made sure my makeup was on point before stepping out. Stepping into my pumps, I couldn't help but hear Kitty Kat's soft voice.
"Hey, can you loan me $120? I'm late on rent. I'll pay you back as soon as I can.", she pleaded. She asked several other strippers before she came to me.
I was a hard worker, everything I had I paid for. I came from the gutta, but that wasn't an excuse. A lot of people were dealt with the cards I was handed. It's the way you rise up out of the situation. Some people went to school, and became a lawyer or a banker. Some people dropped out and started working a 9 to 5. Others became strippers and got money the fast way, like me. Yeah I was a hustla, but I wasn't a cold hearted bitch.
"I'm only doing time because I know you just had that baby. I want my money back." I almost handed it to her but not before saying,
"and I'm not playing either."
"Thanks Diamond."
Roxie had just came out, so I knew it was time for me to go on.
"Welcome to the stage, Diamond!". A round of applause was given before the beat dropped for my routine.
Kiss it, kiss it better, baby
Kiss it, kiss it better baby
I slowly walked on the stage with a seductive eye looking at each and every person in the crowd. I always did this, this made them feel special, like I was dancing for them.
Been waiting on that sunshine boy, I think I need that back
Can't do it like that
No one else gonna get it like that
So I argue, you yell
But you take me back
I crawled toward the crowd and turned around, popping my ass.
Who cares when it feels like crack?
Boy you know that you always do it right
Man, fuck your pride
Just take it on back, boy take it on back boy
Take it back all night
Just take it on back, take it on back.
I pulled my whip out, and smacked my ass with it as a tease. I shook it adding extra jiggle. I tapped my finger on the metal pole before grinding up against it, going up and down.
Mmm, do what you gotta do, keep me up all night
Hurting vibe, man, and it hurts inside when I look you in your eye.
Beads of sweat trickled down my back as I twisted around the pole, bending over to shake my ass.
I occasionally picked up the bills off of the floor, stashing them away in my corset. Everything was going fine as usual until I looked over to my right and spotted a familiar face. His spiteful eyes traveled all over my body. I immediately wrapped up my performance heading back to the dressing room. I took a makeup wipe, and wiped the makeup off of my face. Putting my long hair, into a ponytail, I took off my corset, putting my tank and sweats back on. I walked out of the door but not before grabbing my phone.
The air was cool, drying off some of the sweat from earlier. I pulled my keys out of the pocket of my sweats and dropped my bag briefly to open up the doors. Once I turned back around to grab my bag I saw that it was gone. I made sure I didn't accidentally put it in the back of my car before I ran up in the club accusing people of stealing. I scratched my scalp trying to figure out where I put it.
"You lookin for this?", he held my Victoria's Secret bag in his hand with a smirk on his face. I reached out to snatch it, only for him to pull back.
"You know you was lookin real nice out there tonight. Shit, you made me forget who you are to me.", he chuckled coming towards me. "But I could've sworn D said he didn't want you in these club no more." He stroked his chin, pretending to think.
"D not even here no more, so just leave me alone Kash.", I turned away only for him to snatch me up by neck. I gasped for air as he choked me up against my car.
"Did I say I was done with you? Don't you ever turn yo back on me!", he tightened his hold around my neck.
"I c-can't breathe."
He released me, making fall on the ground. I gasped for air.
He squatted down to my level so we could be eye to eye.
"I been keeping tabs on you Diamond, and shit ain't been looking so good, matter of fact shit ain't been looking good at all.", he chuckled standing back up.
"So I'm gonna make a deal with you. Well you have no choice, so here's what's gonna happen."
"Fuck you!"
"I know you want to baby but that's not apart of the deal.", he touched my inner thigh. "unless you want it to be." I shrugged his hand off of me.
"I got this job for you, in exchange I'll keep my mouth shut. So you in or what?
