"Kirst can you come here please." My mother called me over.
"Yes mum." I swung into the kitchen. She was sat at the table with all these bills scattered across the table. She rubbed her temples before looking up at me.
"I need some help." She simply said. I gave her a look to say continue and she did. "Kirst. You know about your father, right?" My father just recently died. He commited suicide because... well we don't know really.
"Yes." I said trying not to cry.
"Well he was in a lot of trouble with the drugs he was selling." I gasped. This doesn't sound like my father at all. I never knew he sold drugs.
"Did he really?" I asked concerned. She nodded and let a single tear slip. I sat down next to her and gave her a tight hug before letting her continue.
"Well Kirsty I need your help." She repeated. "I need you to get a job."
And that's how I got here. Sat in front of the manager of the local pole dancing club. This was the only thing I could find that would actually let me work. I will not tell my mother this is the job I got because she would make me quit even though she needs the money.
"Do you have any dancing expierence?" The woman asked, she still hasn't told me her name.
I nodded, "I did a bit of hip hop when I was younger along side with ballet." It was the truth. Back then I could afford all these things.
"Well would you show me something?" She beamed.
"Sure." I said and followed her out the door to a practise room. The hall was empty and had mirrors going all the way round the room with a single pole directly in the middle. I watched her make her way over to the pole.
"Can you do this?" She asked putting her leg outstreched high on the pole.
"Yeah." I chuckled. She motioned for me to show her and I did. She clapped.
"Very good." She actually seemed pleased with my action.
"Show me what else you got." She crossed her arms. I exhaled before grinding on it, spinning around on it, dancing around it and just genrally being sexy as I could. When I was done I was panting none stop. That was the most sluttiest thing I have ever done.
I'm not slutty anyway. I normally hate these type of dances, but my mother needs money and this is all I can do. The woman looked like she was shocked. Have I done it wrong? Was it embarressing? Oh god I hope not.
There was a loud clap and my eyes darted over to the door. A girl who looked to be about in her early 20s was stood there with a huge smile and clapping hands.
"That was really good." She complimented.
"Thank you."
"How old are you?" The woman asked.
"Twenty three." I lied. I'm actually 17, but I can't say that. I've been told I look older for my age so no worries... I hope.
"How about you start tomorrow night." The woman suggested. I jumped up and down.
"You serious?" I couldn't believe it.
"Do I look like I'm shitting you?" She said annoyed.
"Thank you." I squealed. Now I can help my mother.
"Maisie will help you." The woman pointed to the girl. Maisie smiled at me and I smiled back.
"How about that, shortie?" She chuckled.
"Shortie? I like it." I laughed. She motioned for me to follow her. We made our way to the back of the building.
"What's the time?" She asked me. I checked my watch.
"10pm." She swung the door open while laughing.
"Of course it's pm, you nerd." She ruffled up my hair, "It's night time." She laughed. Maisie is actually not that bad, yeah she just called me a nerd but I get called that all the time in school. "Right we got to go to the shops. The shops?
"For what?" She laughed at my commented.
"We need to get you an outfit." Oh. Wow that was embarressing. That's like one of the most important thing about this job. I covered my embarressed face which made her laugh harder.
"Get in." She opened her car door. I did what I was told and got in. Maisie shoved her keys into the ignition and the car roared to life. Horrible, rock music blared out of the stereos. I didn't cover my ears because that would embarress me even more and I just met Maisie. I want her to like me.
"Here we are." She said after about 10 minutes. I looked out the window to see a sex shop. I took a deep breath before getting out of the car and into the shop. I'm surprised it's even open at this time, but it is a sex shop after all.
I stepped into the shop and the bell chimed, making the shop owner stop what she was doing and looking at us. She looked at me up and down but wore a smile when she saw Maisie.
"Mais." The woman went to hug Maisie.
"Hey Jane." She hugged back. After what felt like 5 minutes of standing awkwardly waiting for them to pull away they did. "Hey Jane do you have anything for shortie over here." Maisie pointed towards me.
Jane scratched the back of her neck and then had a lightbulb moment. "Yes I do. Come." She instructed. We followed her to the back of the shop. Jane pulled out a bright pink bra and a really short skirt type of thing. It was really short and it made me gasp.
"This should do." She said passing it to me. Maisie nodded in agreement. Maisie pulled out her money but Jane stopped her. "Oh no need for that love."
"Nah Jane you can have it." Maisie pushed it into her hands.
"No Mais you have it or I'll make you look after Neil." Neil. Maisie laughed before taking her money back.
"Okay thanks Jane." Maisie thanked before pulling me out the door. "Where do you live?" She asked. I gave her my address and she drove me home. I never thought I'd be a pole dancer ever.
