Do it Again

Part 4

-Kerry-

I'm backstage in the dressing rooms and I admit...I'm a little tipsy. I had three more drinks after the two I grabbed coming in here, which I got from Kandi-she always keeps a bottle nearby. I look in the mirror and I have to say, the one thing I miss about stripping is seeing how damn good I look showing enough skin to look good enough to touch, but wearing enough clothes to let a nigga know he has to ask first.

Nina: Aye Red, can I use your-ohh hey Kerry, when you get back to the pole?

Me: Tonight...and tonight only I hope.

Nina: What you mean by that? I know you don't think you too good to shake it and make it

We both laugh. Shake it and make it. I really thought I didn't have to do that anymore, but I need my money and if this is the way I have to make it right now then so be it.

Nina: You know Michael gave Red your station right?

Me: I was wondering where all this tacky make-up came from

Nina: Yeah Michael-

Me: Michael, Michael, Michael...he's nothing but a deal breaker...I don't wanna hear about his short Tyga lookin self. Nope

Nina: girl are you drunk?

Me: Might be

I'm pretty sure my words are slurred, but I don't care. Mike never said I had to be sober, and last time I checked taking it to the head doesn't control my ass right? I hear cheap plastic tapping on the floor behind me and I see lil miss Red walking in. The infamous, one and only. I've only seen her perform; never talked to her before.

Red: Did we run out of stations for the new girls?

I look at her in the mirror and then at Nina, who slides back over to her station. I smirk and put some finishing touches on my eyelashes.

Me: nope

Red: So why are you at mine?

Me: Because it was mine first, but I'm almost done

Red: Are you usin my make-up??

Me: Didn't want to, but it was all that was here

I spin around to face her

Me: I'll gladly pay you back that $1.95 you spent on it, m'kay?

Red: Excuse me? Don't get slapped

Me: I wanna see you try it

Red stands at 6'1, while i'm only 5'5 but i'm not scared. I'm already mad, and I might have started this fight, but i'm not backing down. The tree takes off her earrings and hands them to one of the spectators looking at us and I just look at her like the trash she is with my arms crossed.

Red: You a disrespectful ass bitch!

She charges at me, but Nina holds her back with one arm

Nina: okay this is goin too far, yall need to chill the hell out like right now

Red: this aint high school, i'm bout to beat her ass

Nina: calm down!

Red: nah she talkin all this shit, I don't even know her!

Red has tears in her eyes from being so angry and being held back. If didn't know any better I'd think this girl wanted to kill me.

Nina: she just had a little to drink, calm down

Red backs up and and shakes her head

Red: iight check ya girl

Me: nobody can check me baby girl, I'm grown or did you not know?

Red shakes her head and goes to fix herself up at a station with one of the other girls while I chill in the corner on my phone. Michael peeks his head in the door and looks at me.

Michael: you on in two

He stands at the door waiting for me and I see Red roll her eyes. As I walk by her, I can't help but comment.

Me: girl you don't have to wear make-up...they won't wanna see you after I come back lil miss Redbone

Red: you just wanna keep on testing me

She wraps her arm around my neck, holding me in a chokehold and I jab my elbow back, hitting her in her side...and here comes southside Kerry again. I put get my hands up and face her as she lets me go to grab her side.

Me: Don't ever in yo life put yo hands on me bitch!

By now everybody is watching us. Even a couple of the servers are standing in the door being nosey.

Red: You lil half pint ass bitch, what you gon do?

She walks up on me and slaps me, and I punch her in the stomach, bringing her down to my level. She swings again and catches my cheek, knocking me back into somebody's work station and sending all their stuff to the floor. Whoops. I charge at her, forcing her on the floor and start slamming her head on the floor with all the force the alcohol didn't take from me and she reaches up and scratches the left side of my face. I swing hard at her face, enjoying the pain in my fist after I hit her nose. Foor a second it actually looks like Michael is enjoying the fight, but when he realizes he doesn't have any girls on stage, he grabs me by my waist and tries to pull me off of Red but I grab her hair with my left hand and swing with my right.

Me: Im not done! Sasquatch lookin ass bitch! Why you take yo earrings off? you aint do shit! Nasty ass bitch! I told you, ugly a-

Michael: Shut up! Michelle, take Red to the bathroom. Nina, you on. Go head out there and you betta remember yo new routine, just let the DJ know what to play iight. I'ma be back.

Michael puts me down and looks me in my eye and I can tell shit is about to get real.

Michael: put yo regular clothes back on and meet me in my office

He walks out and I just watch him. This is gonna be bad...
