While in the car Britney looked around me at the girls and wonder if Steve pushing his hands up my dress would be news or looked down upon. She doubt anyone in this car would even raise an eyebrow at his actions probably they would even give me a thumbs up or pat on the back. Britney was sexually assaulted and had noone could tell.
When they arrived at the restaurant she ordered pancakes,beacon and eggs and then Damian shakes his head at me and tells the waitress to give me a vegetable salad. Apparently he didn't want me getting fat,ugly and unattractive which would make him less money. Even with things as basic as my meal choices he wanted to dictate. Everyone else ordered vegetable salads as well which earned a suspicious look from the young girl.
Britney ate the salad and found that it wasn't so bad and actually tasted good but not half as satisfying as my first choice. She went home and collapsed on the bed and immediately fell asleep. When she woke up again the sun was shining brightly through the curtains. It was going to be difficult getting used to sleeping in the day and staying up all night.
My throat stop hurting and she tried to talk and Britney found her voice was back to normal. When she got up to go to the bathroom she saw a leotard on the bed. Britney was confused to why that was on the bed and figured it was one of the girl's. Britney ignored this and went to the bathroom. When she came back She saw Courtney holding up the outfit.
"This is yours remember our date today?"
"What are you talking about, which date?"
"You can talk again that's good. I'm going to teach you some basic pole techniques."
"Oh I forgot. Do I really need to do that, can't I just work in the bar."
"Unfortunately, no when all of us first came we were introduced to the bar and also spent a night there and after that we had pole dancing in addition to other jobs."
"Additional jobs like escort services."
"Yes." Britney felt my heart skip a beat at her answer.
"I know it's hard to process right now but you'll be okay once you get used to it."
"How do you enjoy different men touching you and dancing on a pole while people throw money at you. Britney can't imagine myself getting used to that, especially when she was not doing it of my own free will." Britney felt like she was going to tear my hair out of its follicles.
"Alcohol and cocaine plays a vital role in numbing the feelings of shame and anger. I always take a sniff before I perform or she was bought by a patrant."
"What do you mean bought by a patrant?"
"It will all become clear to you after tonight but for now we have alot of things to cover. Can you change into the Leonard now please." Courtney hands me the flimsy clothing and she made her way to the bathroom to change.
When Britney am finished changing and enter into the bedroom area she saw Narumba and Sasukra sitting crossed leg on the floor while Courtney stood up smiling in my direction.
"Okay Britney the most important component of being properly dressed when you are pole dancing is the kind of shoes you wear. Take a seat on the floor I will demonstrate. She slipped on a huge pair of black heels these were not your normal stilettos. A chunky platform helped to support an intimidating six inch heel.
"As you can see these platform shoes help you to grip the pole by crisscrossing the heels to keep from falling while you are doing different posses or styles. The heels also create the illusion of extremely long heels." Courtney demonstrates by wrapping her legs around the metal pole while the rest of her body hangs exquisitely off the structure.
"Another important thing is skin- to- pole contact as it also serves to prevent you from slipping off the pole mid-air,hence the Leontard." Courtney masterfully slithered down the pole like a snake. She then does a split on the floor and started to do some seductive movement. The song shes never heard before starts to pick up the beat and Courtney hastens her movements along with the tempo still managing to look exotic.
"Courtney is the best pole dancer in our group she's even better than Amanda and she's the one that taught her." Narumba said looking towards her in amazement Britney bets she has the same look on my face.
"Amanda taught Courtney how to pole dance?"
"Yup, she is just like us,well used to be just like us. I guess Damian fell in love with her and made her his partner. I just love their love story it's so inspiring."
"What do you mean inspiring? It's disgusting he trafficked her before just like he does us and he hits her every day,how is that inspiring." Sasukra shouts on the top of her voice her face turning bright red reminding me of a fully ripe tomato. This catches Courtney's attention as she stops her performance abruptly while Sasukra gets up and storms out of the room slamming the door behind her.
"What's wrong with her." Courtney asks picking up a bottle of water.
"Nothing, she's just overreacting as usual." Britney thinks about what Sasukra just says and realizes that she is not receptive to the situation while it is clear that Courtney and Sasukra have accepted this life and it seems to be even contented.
"Its your turn now Britney, show me what you've got." Courtney says passing me a platform heel similar to the one she just wore. She took the shoes and slipped them on and tried to stand up with the help of Narumba. Britney was totally shocked at the fact that these shoes felt so comfortable and not nearly as antagonizing as the stilettos she wore last night.
Another songs begins on the stereo and she walked around the pole a couple of times to build my momentum. Britney wrap my legs around the pole and the cool metal makes contact between my bare thighs catching me off guard a little. She started to pin slowly on the pole and tried to extent one of legs out but my movements were clumsy and did not come off as flawless as Courtney's.
Britney caught a glimpse of her face and saw just how badly she was doing. Britney finished and stood up while Narumba clapped enthusiastically.
"I know I was horrible you don't have to clap Narumba I will never get it in time for tonight."
"Don't worry too much about executing any fancy techniques or poses once your confident in your body it will show on stage and get people's attention. The styles will come later while your dancing, trust me." Britney didn't trust anyone here but apparently she had to just take her advice and hope she didn't go on stage and embarrass myself. This was really too much to handle. Britney stomach started to cramp as she thought about tonight.
"Amanda will be giving you a general layout in regards to what you should expect going into the club tonight. It's going to be utterly different from what you experienced yesterday, that's all I can say now. But I know you must be hungry so let's go to the kitchen and get something to eat first."
