A Change in Friends

Yeah baby work that shit!" a man yelled at Ally who was dancing for him. It was later on that night and I was standing backstage getting myself ready to do my solo. I decided to wear a sparkling red bikini with a lace over dress that I could pull off easily. I slipped into some clear pumps that were about 7 inches long giving me a taller look. I curled my hair and then ran my fingers through it a few times before putting on some make-up.

"Damn girl, they're some hounds out there." Ally said when she came back into the dressing room.

I giggled at her, "Yeah I figured. It's always like that on Thursdays."

She shook her head, "Is Sami coming in tonight?"

"I don't know, you know that girl only comes in when she feels like it." I said as I got up and walked towards the entrance to the backstage area.

"Are you nervous?" she asked. "You know I'll dance with you if you want."

I giggled, "I'll be ok girl. You know I got this."

"You sure do. Alberto is right out front."

I rolled my eyes, "Oh God...that man doesn't give up does he?"

"Not at all. Sami told me about the offer he made you." She said with a smirk.

"She did? Well what do you think about it?" I asked.

She chuckled, "I think you should take it. I mean what's wrong with making a little extra money on the side?"

I dropped my eyes to the floor. "Well Sami is worried about Alberto trying to do other things to me other than have me dance for him."

"Girl please don't listen to her. She's just mad because he didn't ask her to dance for him. I mean she's always been jealous of you."

I raised my eyebrows, "Really?"

"Heck yea. Why else do you think she's been trying to get you out of this business? She wants your customers and all the fame of being the best stripper." She told me as she counted her money.

"And has she said this?" I asked.

Ally folded her arms "Ask any other girl in here...she's always talking about it when you're not here,"

I sighed wondering if Sami was truly jealous of me. I could see it being true but at the same time I wasn't certain. I looked up to Sami as a big sister so it was hard to believe she actually felt that way about me. Ally on the other hand had always been jealous of me and Sami's relationship. We both knew she hated that Sami and I were a lot closer than she was with us but we always made sure to show her a great amount of attention.

"Well I'll talk to you later, I'm up." I told her as the DJ announced me on.

"Coming to our center stage is one of the most beautiful women here in the Hot Katz Club. Her name is Aria Rose, and she's coming out to het one you lucky fellas to loosen up her buttons. Now don't be cheap ya'll."

I giggled before he started the music. I walked out on stage nice and slow enchanting all the men with my gaze. I spotted Alberto watching me closely with Ricardo right next to him but I paid no attention to them. I began sliding out of my lace over dress making a few men toss some big bills on the stage. I bit my bottom lip and stepped out of my dress before grabbing the pole and wrapping one leg around it. I slid down it nice and slow. I saw Ricardo grab his own collar as if he needed air. I had to hold back the urge to roll my eyes at him as his buddy placed a few bills on the stage. I smiled and crawled over to it. A few men placed bills in my g-sting before I got up and did a few tricks on the pole. I had to admit, teasing these men for their money was real nice sometimes. It was a chance for me to express myself in a way I wasn't really use to but liked all the same.
