Extra Credit

Unexpected Customer

"I can't believe she really acted like that." I told Ally as I gently applied lip gloss over my ruby red lipstick. "I mean were we really that bad?"

Ally shook her head as she combed out her hair extensions. "No that bitch is just a hater because we're the prettiest of the bunch and we make the most money because of it."

I chuckled, "I guess you're right. And to think, at one point she tried to convince me that you were jealous of me."

She smiled for a moment and then frowned, "Actually Aria...I am a little jealous of you."

I blinked at her in the mirror and then looked over my shoulder at her, "What? Why?"

With a sigh she picked up her flat iron and started running it through her extensions, "Well...you've got everything you could want. You're pretty, smart, funny, and you have a great life."

I smiled, "Well thanks for that, but my life isn't as great as you think."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

I dropped my gaze and turned completely around in my chair to face her. "I admit, my father spoiled me my entire life...but when I got out here he completely cut me off."

She gasped, "How could he do that?"

I shrugged, "I was upset at first, but you know what...this entire experience has made me turn from a spoiled princess..." I looked into the mirror at my mature appearance. "...to a mature grown woman."

"I'm sure he's proud of you," she said.

I looked down at my station,"he doesn't know I'm stripping."

"Really?"

"I thought that would be obvious," I explained, "I mean I am the daughter of a very famous man and yet I'm stripping for money..."

She nodded. "Point taken, I can't wait for us to graduate college in two years. We won't have to work in a terrible place like this."

A bright smile formed on my face thinking about the day I would finally be able to leave this job. I damn sure didn't want my father to discover that I worked as a stripper, but if word got out that he was my father...it would be front page news.

"It will be great...but for now, we've got a show to do." I told her as I stood up in my new silver bikini that shimmered in the light. Ally had a matching one on only hers was gold. When she finished putting in her extensions, we walked out to the bar to start our shift. We did a dance together on stage entertaining the fine gentlemen. After that we went our separate ways at different points of the bar. I actually got to work the private room that night and was doing a great job racking up money...when an unexpected customer came in.

I was behind the curtain fixing up my face for the next dance. I waited for the person to enter the room and sit down on the couch. I poured myself a shot of Grey Goose and chugged it before fixing my bikini and checking myself out in the full body mirror. The door opened to the room and then shut quietly.

"Come on man, do I really need to be blind folded?" I heard the customer say.

"Yeah man, it's all part of the fantasy." My boss told him. "Besides...in here, my girls can do things your wife won't do."
