Stay the night

Consuming my thoughts

September 20th

I couldn't stop thinking about her. No matter how hard I tried.
I couldn't even focus on my art anymore, I only wanted to paint her. My thoughts were consumed by her and I was losing sleep.

I knew I had to see her

It has been a couple nights since Ive been to the strip club. I was never really a big fan of clubs or going out for that matter. I only went because my friend damn-near dragged to the club me saying that I needed to 'loosen up'.

I was currently on my way to the strip club. Lover is a day by cuco blasted throughout my speakers as I sped down the empty streets.

I began to grow paranoid thinking that she wouldn't work today. And me being me, I take things like that as a 'sign'. I take out my phone and dial Kendrick's number. It rings 3 times before he picks up

"Hello" a husky voice calls out

"Yo wassup. I was wondering if that girl
who gave me the lil' dance gone be there today" I try to ask as causally as possible

He lets out a soft chuckle
"Man when I told that girl to make you fall in love with her, I didn't mean it literally" he says to himself

I stayed silent in confusion waiting for him to give me an answer, not really being in the mood for jokes.

"Uh today's Friday right? She'll be there for sure"

"Thanks bro" I say quickly hanging up the phone. I let out a deep huff that I didn't realize I was holding in

After driving for about 15 minutes, I finally arrive at Desire Strip Club. I shakily exhaled as I make my way into the club. Weed and alcohol instantly hit me as I walked through the crowd of drunken men snaking my way towards the bar.

I walk up to the bar and sat down on the wooden stool, scanning the club for her. There was no sign of her whatsoever, so, I ordered a drink and patiently waited for her to come on stage.

Just as I begin to grow impatient, I hear a crowd of men whistling and hooting. I shot my head up only to see her slowly catwalk  her way to the pole

I felt my heart skip a beat as she began walking around the long pole. She smirked as her eyes danced around the crowd. It seemed like she was looking for someone in particular, probably her boyfriend.

She begins dancing on the pole and doing tricks causing the sex-crazed men to go wild. They threw what seemed to be hundreds of dollar bills her way as she shows off on stage doing flips and spilts

This went on for about 5 more songs. She began to grow tired so she stopped for a brief second resting one hand on her hip.

She scanned her eyes throughout the crowd and instinctively looks my way, only to see me starring at her

Her eyebrows knit together for a second as we lock eyes then she look away. I felt my heart beating rapidly out of my chest.

She walks down the stage and I grow disappointed- I secretly wanted to see her dance again. I turn around facing the bar letting out a sigh. Just as I reach into my pocket trying to take out my phone, I feel a soft tap on my shoulder

I turn around only to freeze up at her sight. She flashes a subtle smile at me causing my heart to flutter.

"Hey there" she says in her angelic voice

"h-hey" I stutter. I felt my face heating up from embarrassment causing her to let out a small giggle.

"Why weren't you up front watching me. I know you like my dancin' " she confidently says as she sits down on the stool next to me

"U-uh I didn't really come here to watch you dance" I nervously respond

"Oh then what brings you here? You want another session" she innocently tilts her head to the side.

"No, actually I want your number" I boldly respond. I could tell it caught her by surprise too. She pauses for a second then shakes her head no.

"Why? Come onn, I came all this way to get your number" I press not giving up just yet despite how embarrassed I am

"I didn't ask you to." She coldly spat

I decided not to push it anymore. I nod my head turning around facing the bar tender, watching him wipe a glass cup with a white rag.

There was a short awkward silence, despite the distant chattering over the loud music

"Here give me your phone" she says while taking my phone from my hand. I see her quickly type in numbers then saving her contact name as "Goldie"

I felt a smile creep up as she handed me back my phone.

"Thank you." I chirp with a warm smile.

"Yea yea whatever" she says while walking away. I stare at her dark chocolate thighs watching them jiggle, as she disappears into the crowd of men.

I felt like I won a prize, I was beyond happy. I couldn't stop smiling.
