Chapter 1

Amina

As I sat in front of the mirror I looked down at my big M.A.C treasure chest and contemplated which color I should go with, pink or purple, so many decisions. The pink always complemented my eyes but the purple made me glow real nice.

“Mina five minutes until you hit,” Tony, the stage manager said peeping into the dressing room.

“Okay,” I sat back and looked into the mirror and sighed then looked at the time.

The time blinked one am. I swear I couldn’t stand being here this late but sometimes I had to just for these god forsaken bills that I was being trampled with.

I sighed rolling my eyes and just putting some blush on and creating this whole natural look, couldn’t do anything else anyways.

I bent down slipping my bubble gum stilettos on and proceeded out of the dressing room bumping into my best friend Evie and as from the looks of the dollar bills literally taped to her nipples from the sweat from dancing and some tens and twenty strapped to her g string she was having a great night, as always.

“There’s some big money out there tonight Mina work something alright?” she questioned then looked at me and shook her head, “You should have put some make up on at least girl.” I looked at the nearest mirror and looked at myself. I felt like there was nothing wrong with me.

Despite being my best friend Evie was also one of the most popular strippers here at Knight Time Gentleman’s club, she bring in the money and she kept the business booming plus the money was real good for her, she drove a range over always had her hair laid and men was always on her arm. As for me I felt like I shouldn’t even be a stripper maybe more like a bartender like my girl Casidee, she didn’t have to pop a breast out just to get some cash; all she did was serve the drinks.

I started to make my wat to the stage until the manager Kendrick stopped in front of me. I was literally towering over his small ass as he looked up at me.

“What Kendrick? I’m losing time,” I said trying to walk past him.

“You aint going on tonight.” I raised my brow at him and sighed.

I swear this happened every other night I would get booted last minute to some other girl that everyone was requesting.

“Ken I got bills to pay and right now I can’t lose this night.” I pleaded and he sighed shrugging his shoulders.

“Look Amina, people are saying that your music is not really meant for the strip club.” he explained and I rolled my eyes. If anything I wasn’t going to strip to fast ass ghetto music that people was bumping to today, I was more like the slow and sensual type stripper who was wanted to go nice and slow and move to every beat that went with the song. But I guess people thought otherwise, “Look you could work with Casidee at the bar, she’s already short a few hands and I know that you need the money, so grab a tee and start serving up okay?” I rolled my eyes turning my heel back into the dressing room trying to see who the hell took my spot and once I made my way in Evie was making her way out. I guess the people loved her.

I walked to the back switching to some chucks, black shorts and the company shirt in pink and made my way to the bar to Casidee.

“Um aint you supposed to be on stage?” she questioned as I made my way behind the bar.

“You know how Kendrick do, the man is crazy always giving Evie my bits and right now I need the money, being a stripper aint like how it used to be.” I said and she burst out laughing.

“Well I mean Evie is like a queen in this damn joint, shit she could take my job if she wanted to, the bitch is queen. For a girl you have grown up with she aint giving you no type of play, she basically getting all the money from every chick in this house.” She explained as she poured a shot of Hennessey and handed it to the customer.

“To be honest I think she’s fucking Jasper.” I literally burst out laughing.

Jasper, the club owner, he was maybe in his early fifties and to be honest he looked even older than before but that didn’t stop him from cheating on his wife and fucking a few of the strippers. He was just plain disgusting in so many ways to the point where I tried to avoid him every single second.

“I mean I can agree with you I ignore him every damn time.”

“Shit you aint never lie.”

We continue serving drinks for the rest of the night while Evie was taking almost every girls bit for the night but that didn’t stop me for getting a five hundred dollar tip for tonight. Even though I was happy for the money I was still stuck for taking the damn bus later on tonight and I couldn’t be late for it.

It was now four am and time for me to leave because I already had another job to attend to in the morning and that was helping to plan a wedding, which was my second job. It was always me and Casidee that took the bus together since she would always have her boyfriend hold her car and by the time she would leave work he was knocked the hell out. Not even a damn house fire would wake him up.

I changed into sweats and put my hair into a ponytail and walked out of the club and already saw Casidee sitting on the railing off the club.

“Girl what took you so long?” she questioned as we walked together across the street to the bus stop and waited for the next bus.

Luckily our bus ran twenty four hours so we would wait really about two minutes for the next bus to come around.

“Well I had to change; I am not risking myself to walk into the bus with my stripper clubs.”

She nodded her head in agreement as the bus pulled up in front of us.

“I’m just ready to make love to my King sized bed in peace, tired of this fucking job.” She said and the doors opened and we walked in.

Me and Casidee literally worked so much to the point where we knew the drivers name. Ol’ Willy that was his name, he literally was driving the same bus ever since I was a little girl, he knew my mother when she rode this bus from her job that was at a hospital and now it was me. He was literally in his seventies but I always called him the youngest one in the pack and could still get it which he could, the man knew.

This time I didn’t see Will behind the wheel but someone who caught my eye real quick, quick enough to the point where my cheeks got red and I had to search for my bus pass and tap it quick so I could hurry and sit down so he couldn’t see my face.

I hurried and sat down and Casidee looked straight at me.

“Girl you see him?” she leaned against my shoulder and I nodded my head looking in the mirror at his face.

Caramel skinned, he looked built in his uniform and he kept his full beard nice and short. This man was just on a while different level.

Was this real?
