Ameriel Pov
I'm Ameriel, 21, a flat broke girl just trying to make it out the projects. Regular paying jobs were doing me no good so I resorted to stripping. " Club ecstasy" It's not that bad, but for some reason it seems like every girl in here wants to hate as if we're not in control of making our own money. Hell it ain't my fault some of y'all come in here making a fool of y'all selves. I have one friend here named Mercedes we've been best friends since we were 15 and our stories were similar.
"Girl did you hear the big ballers was gone be in here tonight?" Cedes asked me with too much excitement in her voice.
"No who are you talking about?" I asked taking a drink from the bartender.
"You know East and nem. Fine, rich, drug dealing ass East. You rarely see him though cause his fine ass be M.I.A forreal" she said laughing.
Me and 'cedes are completely opposite she the loud ratchet one, meanwhile I mostly keep to myself only 'cedes has seen me out of my element.
"I don't even know who East is, you doing too much" I said jokingly rolling my eyes.
I walked away getting ready to do my set. I changed into my outfit and heard my name being called to the stage.
"Yall haven't seen nothing until y'all seen this one. She brings all the ballers to the club! Makes all the ladies wanna fight! Coming out we have Dream!!"
I walked out on stage feeling the music and climbed up on the pole doing all kinds of splits and tricks. Money was rolling in good tonight but for some reason I feel like I'm being watched and not just by the crowd. In the middle of dancing I notice this fine man staring right into my soul. No expression or anything just staring. I almost tripped on my shoes but I caught myself making it look like I meant to and crawled over to this man with a hand full of money. I turned around and bent over shaking my ass in his face. I chuckled when this man threw his whole stack on me and tried to touch my ass. I grabbed his hand real quick.
"Don't do it." I got up as the music stopped playing and went back to the dressing room waiting on the bag girls to bring me my money.
It's nearing the end of my shift and my boss tells me some man is paying extra for a private dance. I sighed and walked towards the room. When I walked in it was a white man in his late 50's grinning too fucking hard with his dirty dentures. I mentally rolled my eyes started the music and danced on the pole only, never was I shaking my ass on him. When I got finished his old ass gone ask me
"Is that it lil lady? What you do for a tip" I rolled my eyes and walked out. Filthy ass.
Going to the dressing room I collected my things and went around the club to try and find Cedes wondering where she was. I look in the private sections and I see her in that section where I seen that man and debated on even going up there. Fuck it I thought I ain't no punk ass bitch. I walked up the steps and bypassed the security man. "Cedes!" I screamed over the loud music. Once I spotted her hugged up on some dude. He wasn't bad looking.
She looked up and smiled, "What girl?"
"Im heading out for the night, be safe, love you, and text when you get home" She nodded and I turned around and walked out.
Not before catching his eye again. Who is he I thought to myself. I took myself out of my train of thoughts. When I walked outside it was a little chilly so I stopped on the sidewalk in front of the building to grab my jacket. I heard this voice keep saying
"aye lil lady come here" at first I was thinking other people were out here until I heard it again. I turned around and seen that old ass creep.
"Leave me alone and stop following me before I tase you"
He walked up smiling ignoring my threat and said, "I like a woman with a little fight in her."
Before I could grab my taser her he grabbed me and covered my mouth and started pulling me to god knows where. Im screaming the best I could, fighting to the best of my ability. Finally I bit his hand causing him to let go.
"Bitch!" He screamed as he raised his hand about to hit me. As a reflex I jumped waiting on the hit to connect until I heard a deep mysterious voice.
"Aye my nigga be cool what the fuck is wrong with you"
Is what I hear before the man from earlier punched his old ass and pulled out a gun. East I'm assuming is who he is grabbed me away from him and pushed me behind him.
"Sorry East I didn't know this was you, I meant no disrespect." He said with fear written all over his face.
"It didn't matter if she was mine or not nigga you fucking crazy? This my club my nigga you don't bring you crackhead ass to my shit acting dumb. Let me catch you somewhere else besides here and your dead my nigga. Now take your bitch ass ass home to your wife before she have nothing left of you but your knee caps sent to her house"
he spoke so calm yet so fucking scary. Even I would be terrified if the roles were. The man ran away, literally ran away like a bitch. I turned East and said
"Thank you.." he just nodded his head and walked away. Rude I thought as I turned going back towards my car. I got in and drove home.
Once I made it home I showered and laid in bed as I played the events of today in my head. I really wondered who this East guy was. I was curious because that man seemed so terrified of him. I knew Mercedes said he was a drug dealer so in my head I'm thinking corner boy, but as scared as that man was it can't be. Eventually I drifted off into sleep with East in my head.
