Treat Me Like Somebody

Strangers

Right now I'm getting dressed for my job... My night job... I'm a stripper and a bartender. I got Karai dressed and got his bag together. I looked at the time and see that I'm 1 hour early.. I grabbed his hand, his bag, my purse, and my keys and got in the car. I strapped him in and was about to back out when I heard a horn honk. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw Shawn's car. I breathed deeply and got out. I walked over to his car and he let the window down.

Cleo; what you want?

Shawn; can I get Karai til you get off?

Cleo; that's yo son too... Why are you asking me??

Shawn; you sure? You don't ever let me get him this easily.

Cleo; boy grab him before you make me late for work.

He laughed and walked over and got my baby out the car then closed my car door. He put the baby in the back seat and strapped him in then i leaned in the car and kissed my baby on his forehead then closed his car door. Then he turned around and looked at me.

Cleo; what??

Shawn; when you gon be my baby again??

Cleo; when you stop playing peek a boo with your son's life.

Shawn; what you mean? Look, lemme prove to you that I can be in his life.

Cleo; you got a week Shawn.

I walked away and started my car once again... I pulled out the driveway and started driving to work. I got there with 10 minutes to spare. Now technically I'm not late.... But according to boss... I'm late. He says every stripper has to come 20 minutes early. I walked in through the back door and went to my station. Then my coworker miracle came next to me and I already knew what she was gonna tell me.

Miracle; you know you late right?

Cleo; girl I'm here now doe

Miracle; you know we gotta show to do

Cleo; mmm....

Miracle; speaking of shows... I heard Mr. Tyga Tyga in the building tonight... So that mean you finna turn up

Cleo; *lol* that mean we all finna turn up

Boss; let's go ladies... Time for the show

We all walked out and headed to the stage... Then the announcer said my stage name.

Announcer; she's the journey that you're willing to go on and she's the miracle that you will never believe.... Please welcome Journey and Miracle.

Then Make It Nasty came on... That's our theme song. We went to our poles and did our dance. Then Ayy Ladies came on and we had to pick who we wanted to dance on.. Miracle went to tyga and I went to Wayne. We gave them a lap dance and they were looking like they were into it. Once the song was over, we walked off and back into our dressing room. Then we had to change into our bartender clothes because it was almost time for our other shift. Once we got dressed we walked into the bar. I started making the drinks then I heard someone clear their throat. I turned around and saw August Alsina.

August; so are you miracle or journey??

Cleo; I'm Cleo

August; mmm.... I know I seen you on the stage though

Cleo; look here.. On stage I'm journey.. Off stage I'm just Cleo. Now may I help you.??

August; yes... I'll take a date with Cleo tomorrow night.

Cleo; I work tomorrow night

August; yeah until 8:30.... I'll pick you up around 9

Cleo; now how do you know I don't have any other plans?

August; well do you?

Cleo; no

August; please? Let's get to know each other. I wanna get to know Cleo not Journey.

Cleo; And I wanna get to know August.. Not August Alsina.

I walked back to make the drinks and he kept sitting there. I would look at him from time to time. Then Tyga and his whole entourage came over. Then he just acted like I was just some bartender. I brushed it off and kept bartending. Then Nino I think asked me something.

Nino; aye ma... What you doin after this?

Cleo; going home why?

Nino; wanna come kick wit us at this club?

Cleo; naawh I'm cool.

Honey; please girlie. You seem cool.

Cleo; idk I gotta go pick someone up.

Heather; they can come to

Cleo; he's 2

Heather; nephew?

Honey; brother?

Cleo; no my son

Tyga; you have a son?

Cleo; yup

Honey; oh well we can just go to your house and chill.

Cleo; I guess.

Mel; aye ma, you single.?

Cleo; as a single bill.

Tyga; what time you get off work.?

Cleo; *looks at her watch* in about ten minutes

Mel; well we'll just chill until you get off... How old are you.?

Cleo; I'm 21

Mel; you look like you're 19

Cleo; mm.... Thanks

My shift ended 15 minutes ago and they were still here... I clocked out and then walked to my dressing room. I told Honey I went to go change my clothes. After that I walked over to them in the VIP section. Then all the boys was looking at me

Cleo; what.?

Honey; girl you work out.?

Cleo; no... I strip thoe.

Heather; for you to have a baby, you dont look like it.

Cleo; *Lmfao* thanks.

August; you ready ma.?

Cleo; oh you know how to speak now.?

August; look I ain't ask all that.... Is you ready.?

Cleo; is the sky blue.?

E/O besides August; *ctfuu*

We left and walked out to the limo and my car.
