No Love In The Game, No Trust In The Game!

Chapter 3

"Okay so really, what's the surprise now?" Tammy said as we sat at the bus stop. "Well i was thinking we go out tonight to celebrate." "How are we gonna do that with no money Kay?" "Who said we didn't have any money smart ass?" I teased. "Where did you get some money from and where are we gonna stay tonight?" Tammy asked. "Look T, just let me worry about the grown up stuff and you just relax and enjoy the ride." "What ride? We're on the bus stop?" she said. "You know what I meant smart ass girl" I laughed. "Keep talking and I just might change my mind about taking you to Chuck E Cheese." "Omg we're going to Chuck E Cheese?" Tammy yelled as she jumped up and down. "Yes, i'm gonna buy you all the tokens and pizza you want and after that i was thinking we go stay at the Hilton hotel tonight." "The one with the pool?" she said smiling from ear to ear. "Yup and you can swim all night." I said. "Yayyyyyyyy!" she screamed. It was such a relief to see her happy. Regardless of whatever i was going through, once i seen that smile everything was okay.

      After spending hours at Chuck E Cheese we headed to the hotel. While we were on the elevator going down to the pool I ran into a girl that I went to school with. She was with a older guy who kind of resembled Denzel Washington. "Hey Melissa" I called out to get her attention. She ran across the lobby towards me. "Hey Karmen, girl you scared the shit out of me calling my name like that. Nobody calls me Melissa anymore bitch i thought you were my mama." she laughed. "My bad girl, so what does everybody call you then?" i asked confused. "I go by Peaches now." she said proudly. "Peaches? Girl that sounds like a stripper name." I said. "That's because it is a stripper name." "Wait a minute, you're a stripper now? Is that why you quit school? I didn't see you at graduation today." "Girl i dropped out of that lame ass school months ago. School just isn't for me ya know?" "Yea i feel you" I said but in my mind i was thinking "bitch you just as dumb as they come, school NEED to be for yo ass". "So what's you're plan now?" I asked. "Plan for what? Bitch i don't need a plan. This body is my plan and I plan on using it to get whatever i want." "Where do you work at?" I asked intrigued. "Down at the pink room" "The one out west? Ugh girl I hate going to the west side." "That's where all the money is girl, I used to be the same way but you gotta expand your horizons. The city of Chicago is big. You can't just limit yourself to the south side all of your life." "Yeah maybe you're right. So how much do you make a night?" "The sky is the limit baby. I can make anywhere from a stack to 5 thousand in one night and all I have to do is take off my clothes and shake my ass a little bit. Easiest job i've ever had i'm telling you girl. Quitting school to work at the pink room was the best thing i've ever done. In less than a month i had my own car, a nice ass condo downtown, and designer everything. Plus i only have to work 3 nights a week. Now tell me that ain't a sweet ass deal." she said trying to sound convincing. "I could get you a audition if you want" she said. "I don't know Melissa, I don't think I'm stripper material." I said. "It's PEACHES, and bitch with that body of yours yes you are! You thick as hell and you got a pretty face, you'd be perfect I'm telling you." she smiled. I looked over at Tammy who was having the time of her life splashing around in the pool and thought back to when i was 10 and decided that i would always do anything necessary to take care of her no matter how it made me feel. I only had enough money for a couple of nights at the hotel and after that i had no idea where we were gonna gonna go or where i would get the money from. I thought it over for about 5 more minutes when Melissa interrupted my thoughts. "So are you in or not Karmen?" "Set it up." I said.

    I walked into the pink room as my knees trembled. I was so nervous i was starting to sweat. "This shit is not sexy" i thought to myself. I walked around the club looking for Max, he was the owner and the one i needed to make a good impression with. Melissa said all i really needed to do to get hired was look sexy and i had that down pact so this should be easy i thought. While looking for Max i walked into the girl's dressing room by accident. "Oh im sorry I was just looking for Max." I said as i started to close the door back. "No it's cool, come in." a girl with long red hair said. I felt kind of uncomfortable because all of the girls were either half naked or flat out butt ass naked. "What you looking nervous for? You acting like you never been around a bunch of naked bitches before." she said as they all laughed. "No i'm not nervous" i lied. Truth is i was as nervous as Penny was on good times when her mama was about to burn her with that iron but i couldn't let these bitches see me sweat so I just played it off. Besides, i had a feeling that they already didn't like me. They were all sizing me up. Constantly looking me up and down. One girl even rolled her eyes at me. "So is this your first day?" The red head girl asked. "Not really, im just here to audition." I said. They all started to laugh. "What's so funny?" i asked with a attitude because now these bitches were starting to piss me off with the shade. "Girl it's nothing, it's just that nobody ever really makes it past the audition stage. We all got hired by Big Mike. He was the old owner and would petty much hire anybody but ever since Max took over he's been pretty picky about hiring girls. You have to be damn near perfect to get his approval so if I were you I wouldn't even waste my time." The red head girl said. "Or you could just suck his dick in the bathroom for a spot like Melissa hoe ass did" some girl said as they all laughed. "No i don't need to do that." I said. "I'll get the job because i actually know how to dance and unlike most of yall i'm actually attractive. Oh and sis, you might wanna get some foundation and try to cover up some of those stretch marks. You look like Tony the Tiger and that's not cute." I said to the girl who made the dick sucking remark and walked out. I heard them talking shit as i walked out but i didn't care cause if it came down to it I would line all of them hoes up and beat they ass one by one but i didn't come here to fight. I came to prove a point. See the thing about me is if somebody tells me i can't do something or im not good enough i'll work twice as hard to do it just to make them look like a ass and prove that i can. Now it was my mission to make a good impression with Max and get the job so i could rub it in all of those ugly bitches faces. "You looking for Max?" a big black guy asked me. He was dressed in all black so I figured he was a security guard. "Yea i have a audition with him." I said. "He's upstairs, i'll take you to him." he said as he lead me up the stairs and into Max's office. "Wait here, he should be in any minute." he said before walking out. I waited 20 minutes and then i started to get impatient. I grabbed my purse and started to walk out as Max walked in. "You Karma?" he said as he looked me up and down while licking his lips. "It's KARMEN and yeah but i was just leaving." "Why you leaving so soon?" he said with a smirk on his face. "Because you had me waiting forever that's why. My audition was at 5, it's almost 6." "You fiesty, i like that shorty." he said smiling. "Look do you want the job or not?" he asked. "You're gonna give me the job that easily? I didn't even audition, you haven't even seen me dance yet." "With a body like yours and a face like that, who gives a fuck if you can dance baby all you gotta do is stand on the stage and look pretty and i guarantee all these nigga will start throwing they whole check on you." "You wanna know what's crazy? The other girls were trying to scare me saying that nobody ever makes it past the audition. They said that you're really picky about who you hire but you don't seem that way to me." "Nah, they weren't lying to you. I am picky but it just seems that way to them because if you haven't noticed they're not the best looking. Don't get me wrong they got banging bodies but they faces don't match. I'm looking for the whole package. You got the whole package Karma." "I told you already, it's KARMEN!" I said with a attitude because he kept fuckin up my name. "Nah shorty from now on you Karma, that's gonna be your stage name." I thought for a second then it kind of grew on me. "Well you know what they say, Karma is a bitch." I said with a smile. "Exactly! Now let's make this money shawty" Max said as he gave me a hi five." I walked down the stairs smiling harder than the kool aid man. I didn't expect it to be that easy but I guess looks can get you very far. I wasn't really the conceited type but I knew I was beautiful. I can't even count how many times someone has told me I resemble Megan Good. My body kind of resembled Beyoncé's because I had curves in all the right places but not too much ass cause that's when it starts to look fake and my body was all natural, I eat my rice and cabbage. When I got down stairs I noticed that I left my bag in the locker room. I was glad that I had an excuse to go back in so I could see the look on the girl's faces when I told them I got hired on the spot. I walked in and they immediately started whispering to each other and having side conversations. This is like high school all over again I thought to myself. I grabbed my bag and headed towards the door slowly so they could see my ass jiggle in my jeans as I walked. Yea Bitch this ass is real I thought as I smiled. "Awww gone so soon? That didn't take long, better luck next time boo." The girl who had the fucked up stretch marks said as they all laughed. "Yeah, coco butter I'm leaving so soon" I said as I turned around with a smirk on my face. "Coco butter? Girl who tf is that? My name is Tiffany but you can call me Goddess. That's what the niggas like to call me, probably yours too." She said thinking she was all of that. "Nah, I'd rather call you coco butter bitch cause that's what you need for them stretch marks." "Girl bye, you just mad cause you leaving, bye Felicia" she said as she waved at me. "Bitch the only reason I'm leaving is because I need to get some rest before my shift tonight." "Your shift? Karmen you must be delusional, get it together sis." She said. "I got hired on the spot. He took one look at me and thanked god that he finally had a pretty Bitch working here cause it was starting to look more like a haunted house than a strip club so I'll see you tonight sis, and while I get it together make sure you get that cellulite together cause you got too many dimples in yo thighs, it look like yo ass is smiling." I said as I walked out. "Oh and it's KARMA to you bitch, how that salt taste?" I asked before leaving.
