Mali
Twirling around on the pole I dropped into a split while bouncing my cheeks on the floor. Cry baby by Megan the stallion blasted through the speakers, and niggas was throwing money like crazy. I slowly took my top off revealing my medium sized boobs that had shiny pasties on them. I climbed up the pole then slid down slow with my legs in the air twerking to the beat. When my time was up I glanced around the room spotting Antonio. I looked away looking at the guards put my money in the bag making sure they're not leaving anything out or trying any sneaky shit because it has happened before.
It's been about two weeks since I've spoken to Antonio. I wasn't stressing it but it was just this weird feeling inside that I just couldn't shake. I've seen him a couple of times and he acted as if he didn't know me. It's fine though because I did the exact same thing, definitely standing on business I'll never overplay my part in anyone's life.
Once I got all my money I walked to the dressing room stashing it away because these bitches like to steal. When I took my heals off one of the girls walked up letting me know that Boss wanted to see me. I raised my eyebrow then nodded, the fuck does he want? After I finished getting dressed I grabbed my duffle bag full of money then walked to his office. His feet were kicked up on his desk and he had a blunt sitting on his lips, he took it out then offered me to hit it but I declined. I sat down and crossed my arms waiting for him to speak.
"I've been meaning to talk to you Mali, and I been wanting to do this for a lil minute now. You've been a huge impact on my life since day one and you never folded on me and I deeply appreciate that" I grew confused because I didn't think he felt that way, he never opened up to me like this. Something was up though I can feel it.
"Ima just get straight to the point, I'm opening another club downtown and I want you to be the owner/manager, well that's if you want to do it. You've been through too much and I know you get tired of dancing here sometimes and I thought it would benefit the both of us because you'll get way more money and you don't really have to dance and you can do things your way. And I don't have to work as hard" He chuckled. I just sat there with a blank expression on my face I really don't know what to say, I really wasn't expecting this.
"Daniel, I don't really know what to say. Why me outta all people? Why not Kia? She's been working here way longer than me and she's been through a lot of shit, worse than me actually" I told him putting my hair in a messy bun.
"Business and pleasure doesn't mix and she isn't fit for this position like I believe you are, you've fixed a lot of my mistakes in this business, at times I didn't know what the fuck I was doing but you stepped in and helped. I think you'd make a great business woman. So Mali, what'd you say? You in?" He said smiling and I jumped up and hugged him.
"Of course I am Daniel! I can't wait, but I have to sit down and think about how I want everything. This is gonna take some time, is there any paperwork I need to sign or anything?? " I told him sitting back down.
"Alright great, but here's the catch the club has to be open by March 30th and you will kinda be partnering up with Antonio, Khalep Knowels son. He wants to do have his lil drug business thing there so it will cover it up a bit, ya'll will have to discuss that by yourselves and see how ya'll wanna do that shit. I've heard ya'll have met so it won't be that hard, and we'll get to the contract when things are in order love" He said making my eyes pop.
"You're joking right? Antonio really? Why can't he open up his own club and do that shit? He has enough money. Speaking of money, do I have to pay for any of this shit?" I asked growing annoyed, this is too much already.
"If he opens up his own shit with his name and everything then the feds will be all over it because they know who he is and who his father is. The best thing to do in my opinion is to have the shit separate, the building has two floors choose which part you want the club to be in and give the other part to him. You will get paid extra for that and no you don't have to pay for anything right now, but a few months after it opens you will have to make sure the rent and shit is paid but that's a topic for another day, you don't have to worry about that right now just brainstorm and write all your ideas down, go look for some bouncers and hosts, a dj, bartenders just everything that a club needs, or get a team and hire someone to do the shit for you, just get it done by that due date Ight?" He said and I nodded taking everything in.
I can't believe this is happening right now. A stripper turned into a business woman? This club was about to be lit. "Well ok I'm finna go and brainstorm and see what I wanna do, is it ok if I email everything to you?" I asked him standing up and grabbing my things.
"Yeah that's fine, remember everything should be done by March 30th" He said as I gathered my things ready to walk out but he called after me. "You're forgetting to give me my cut" He said pointing at my duffle bag. I opened it and reached inside and grabbed his cut then left. While I waited for one of the security guards to walk me out Antonio walked up to me causing me to roll my eyes. "Wassup ma, looks like we're going to be business partners" He said rubbing his hands together.
"Just give me your number so we can discuss this another time, I have somewhere to be" I said getting annoyed. He nodded and gave me his phone, I typed it in and walked off. I actually didn't have nowhere to be, I don't really know why I told him that. Almost close to the door shots fired and everyone scattered. The security guard that was with me left me hanging. I ran out the door and tried to find my car.
Once I found it I ran towards it but dropped my duffle bag, when I went to pick it up someone grabbed it but then fell to the ground with a gunshot wound in the chest. I gasped then grabbed the bag. When I pulled on the door handle I felt a burning feeling on my arm. I screamed and grabbed the door with my other hand. I looked at my arm and seen blood pouring out. It's my right arm I tried to start the car but my arm and body was going numb.
I seen someone in the corner of my eye but I was too afraid to look. My sight started to get real blurry and it felt like everything was going in slow motion. The person opened the door and pulled me out when the lifted me up I blacked out. The last thing I remember is the persons cologne it smelled familiar.
