"Yo Lani, you ready to get the bag tonight" Mel asked.
I looked at myself in the mirror before turning to her.
"Girl, I'm as ready as I can ever be. I can't wait till I finish school. This job ain't cutting it for me anymore" I said while adjusting my outfit.
"Hang in there mamas, you're almost done. Then you can leave this bitch." Mel said while passing me a bottle of Patron.
I took a shot and passed it back to her.
"How do I look?" I asked.
"Like a bag of money. Now go out there and make them niggas throw they rent money at you" Mel laughed.
"Thanks girl. I'll see you in a bit' I said as I left the dressing room and into the club.
For the past two years I was working as a stripper at one of the hottest strip clubs in NYC and I hated every minute of it. The only reason I was working there was because it was quick money and I had tuition, rent and other bills to pay.
As I got behind the bar the DJ announced me.
"LaniBlue is about to hit the stage. Everyone get them bills out. She one of the baddest to do it" he said.
I walked onto the stage and dollar bills had already started pouring in. The moment the beat dropped I started twerking and doing my pole routine. As I landed in a split, and took my top off, I had noticed this one tall light skinned guy looking at me from a distance...

He was fine as fuck and it was low key distracting
I continued my routine and tried to pay little mind to him but I couldn't help but feel his eyes on me the whole time.
After I finished my set, I collected my money and headed off to the dressing room.
On my way to change, I felt someone gently grab my arm.
I was ready to pop a bitch in the face, but when I turned around it was that same fine ass nigga I had seen earlier.
"Hey ma." He said in a raspy voice.
"Hey." I nervously replied.
"I saw you on that stage, and you fine as fuck. I was wondering if you'd be down to make another bag tonight and maybe strip for me and my boys" he said with a smile.
I looked him up and down and laughed.
"I don't do private dances pa" I replied while turning back around.
"I promise you I'll make it worth your while" he said.
I turned around ready to tell him off, before I saw a wad of cash.
"Aii. Fine. But you and ya boys better keep hands to ya self" i said.
"Heard that ma" he replied.
I followed him to his section and he passed me a bottle.
"Have a drink ma. Its LaniBlue right?" He asked.
"Yeah and you are??" I asked.
I heard his friends laugh and say yoooo in the background.
"Im Dave East." He laughed.
"Dave East? That low key sounds familiar." I replied.
"Maybe. But don't worry bout that now ma, how bout you shake that ass for a real nigga" he said while licking his lips.
"Say less" I replied.
I started dancing twerking on him and his boys and they made it rain. Money was flying everywhere. That motivated me to put my all into it, so I started taking my top off, as I usually have to do, and Dave pulled me away to a corner.
"Nigga what the fuck. I wanted to see them titties bounce" one of his friends yelled.
I looked up at Dave in confusion and that's when I really noticed how fine he was.
"I hope you don't mind. I wanted to keep this view all to myself." He said with a smile.
I don't know if it was his eyes or the way he smelled but he had me hypnotized.
He reached behind me, pulled up and re tied my top.
That was the first time in my life that a man had tried to cover me up. They usually loved seeing naked chicks. That was the point of a strip club...
Without a second thought, I back away from him.
"Understood. But you do know I'm paid to strip though right. And I'm pretty sure you asked me to" I asked.
"I know ma. But am I wrong for changing my mind not wanting to share that view with any of my niggas?" He asked with a smile.
"Nah I guess you not. So in that case, I'ma call it a day." I replied as I began walking away
"Wait up Lani" Dave said.
I turned around and he took the stack of money from earlier and tucked it in my cleavage.
"Thank you for your time ma" he said while looking me in my eyes.
I couldn't help but blush.
"No thank you" I replied.
I walked away and headed back to the dressing room. The moment I got behind closed doors I smiled from ear to ear. Dave was one of the sweetest guys I've met.
I took the money out to put in my purse and a piece of paper fell from the wad.
I picked it up and it said text me, with a number written below.
Ignoring that for a moment, I quickly changed and put the note and money in my purse. Before leaving I decided to say goodbye to Mel so I walked to the bar and kissed her goodbye on the cheek.
"See you tomorrow mamas. Get home safe" Mel said.
"Text me" I replied while walking away.
As I turned the corner I bumped into someone and knocked my phone out of my hand
"Shit, my bad" I said, picking my phone up. I looked up and it was Dave.
"Hey ma. I thought you went home" he said.
"Well I'm about to head out now. I just wanted to say bye to my friend" I replied.
"Word? How about you let me take you home? I'm heading out now too" he said.
" Fuck you mean. You shouldn't even be driving. You been drinkin all damn night" I replied.
Dave laughed.
"Nahhh chill baby girl. I got a driver. But its nice that you care about me" he said with a cheesy smile.
"Oh aii. Good... Well get home safe" I nervously replied.
"Lani, lemme take you home. You too fine to be outside this late, alone." Dave said.
I rolled my eyes and sighed
"Fine. I appreciate your offer" I replied.
"It aint look like it with that lil eye roll. But nah I'm messin with you shorty. I like my bitches with a lil attitude" he joked.
