I get ready for the shift ahead a lil earlier than usual cause I plan on talking with Ariana until my shift starts. Tonight I have to work from 10 till closing so Ima need her company as much as possible. It's almost 8 now so I speed the process up, once I'm dressed for the night I put a simple outfit over it until I actually start the shift.

I grab my bag and make my way to the kitchen where Zendaya is.
"I'm gonna leave now, have your homework done, and try not to sleep with all the lights on Zen" I say
"I get scared when I'm alone in here, this place big as hell, something could happen" She says
"Ok Zendaya, try to save at least 2 or 3 lights?" I ask
She nods her head and I hand her 50 dollars.
"Use this for whatever you want, I'll be back before you gotta leave for school, love you" I say while kissing her cheek
"Love you too" She says
I head down to the garage, jumping in my car and heading straight to the club. Once I'm there the time is 8:45, I go inside and make my way to the bar, immediately spotting Ariana serving drinks. I sit on the stool in front of her and she smiles at me.
"Hey Mani, what you doing here early?" She asks
"Just to talk, I have 6 hours tonight" I sigh
"Oohh that's tough" She says
"How long you working?" I ask
"Till closing" She says
"Be glad you don't have to dance till closing" I chuckle
"Ooh sis" She says
She pours us a glass of ciroc and leans on the counter.
"How you feeling?" She asks
"Same as always" I sigh
Time goes by and soon enough it's 10 minutes to 10. I make my way to the back and take off my cover up outfit and touch up my makeup. Once it's 10 I go back out to the front and scan over the area. I stand by the main stage, knowing any minute I'm gonna be called up.
"Coming to the stage, one of our star dancers Godiva"
I go on the stage and dance for about 30 minutes, I collect the money and head to the back and lock it up. I go back on at 12 and 2 so I take this time to go dance on one of the tables that have a small stage and pole on it.

My eyes light up when I see Kehlani and I walk up to her and sit on her lap.
"LANIII" I smile
"Hey mani" She says while hugging me tightly
"The other dancers were shook sis!" She says
I laugh and wave at the people she came with.
"Oh yea, guys this is my friend Normani, mani this is-"
"I know who they are, nice to meet y'all" I smile
"Nice to meet you too, you did amazing up there" Dinah says
"Thank you" I say
I lock eyes with Lauren who has an intense gaze and has yet to take her eyes off me.
"I heard your song earlier, it's really good" I say
"T-Thank you" She mumbles, clearly distracted by me
I smirk and turn back to Lani.
"What you doing now?" She asks
"Actually I came over here to kill time until I have to go back" I say
I get onto the table and Lani starts yelling.
"Show them your tricks mani!" She says
Time passes and like expected Lauren's the one throwing the most money. I climb the pole and twirl down it, into a split.
"You're just my little side thing Just a little sweet fling, baby You don't have to buy things I just want the high, supply me"
I run my hands down my legs, touching the toe of my heels then shoot back up, grinding against the pole. I circle the pole and roll my hips to the bottom, I come back up, swaying my hips to the beat.
I climb the pole once again, going to a decent height. I swing my legs above my hand, wrapping it around the pole securely before letting go and hanging upside down. Kehlani hands me the blunt and I take a deep pull, slowly blowing out O's. I send Lauren a wink as she watches me with her mouth slightly open.
"Wooooowwww" I hear Zayn say
I sand right side up and watch as Lauren looks like a whipped puppy. I laugh and collect the money, waving to them and walking off.
