In Love With Sin

Chapter 10

I had a week to learn how to dance and I did it in the privacy of our room. I put on some songs that would be playing at the strip club and danced along and I slowly started to get better. Charlotte helped me shop for sexy lingerie. I said it was for Nate as a cover and she got all excited.

It was the day of the job and I was nervous as ever. Ricky managed to get me in with the manager of the strip club and I was known as Emerald. I arrived at the club an hour before they opened and got ready. The other girls arrived, all giving me the side eye and scoffing at me.

"Hey." one of them said to me. She looked Latina and wore one of those tassel things around her nipples along with purple laced underwear.

"Hi." I replied back as I put on my make up.

"I'm Candy. You're new here." she said sitting at the vanity beside me.

"Yeah." I said. I was too nervous to keep a conversation with anyone.

"Don't stress about it too much mami." she chuckled. "We all had our first days here too."

I chuckled. "Thanks." I said smiling.

"So how long have you been in the game?" she asked as she put on her fake eyelashes.

"Ummm... not that long." I said. "Is it obvious?"

She nodded. "Don't worry, you'll do fine chica." she leaned towards me. "Don't worry about the other girls too. They're always like that but they're harmless."

I chuckled. I wouldn't want to mess with me in the first place.

"We all have to behave anyway. The manager doesn't like drama between us girls, and he doesn't tolerate any bruises or cuts on us. He throws both attacker and attack-ee out." she said.

"Well that's good to hear I guess." I said.

"Yeah so if you're into those needle drugs or have a boyfriend who beats on you, you'd better cover that shit up." she said.

The door to our locker room burst open and a pudgy gross man in a sloppy business attire came in rubbing his hands together. "Alright bitches. It's opening time."

None of the other girls actually listened to him and went on with getting ready. I was the only one who paid attention.

Our eyes met and a creepy smile spread across his face. "Ah my new little flower." he said approaching me. "Don't let me down today. I've got a big client that spends a lot when he's here." he said grabbing my arm and twirling me around.

"Mmmmmm. Nice." he growled and I tried to keep myself from cringing. "I want that client of mine to stay here as long as possible."

That's the plan.

"Yes, sir." I said obediently.

He let go of me and signaled to all of us. "Let's go! Candy and Violet, you start on the stage. The rest of you work the floors."

The girls followed suit out the locker room. I quickly opened my purse and put in the ear piece Ricky gave me. I let down my hair so cover my ears and took a look in the mirror.

"Well, time to work." I sighed to myself, as I turned the earpiece on. "I'm on." I said.

"Good." Ricky said. "Nate?"

"I'm making my way there now." Nate said.

"How about you Phil, Link?"

"We're just getting something to eat and we'll be waiting in the back." Link said.

"You guys better not be long." Ricky said. "We have one window."

"Chill man, we're just going through the drive through and we'll be there." Link said.
