My waist continued to twril and sway according to the rhythm of the hip hop music, which was loud enough to blur out any other sound.
Smokes filled the air from cigarettes. Most people were on the dance floor dancing with their partners, while the blue led lights filled the room making it look romantic. Not for me, this place wasn't a place for romance, everyone with their ulterior motives, nothing genuine and pure. Just sex and orgasms not love and forevers. On the pool for strippers, we were four. Each girl had her pole most of them don't dance for long as they will go down to catch potential money bags. Knowing those that are new is quite simple, they hang unto this pool like their life depends on it. While the rich men continued to spray us money while trying to make a pick. But I wasn't new here. Well I've been here way long than any of them here. Since I was nineteen and now I was twenty three, first I served as a bartender. Till I got tired of the petty salary maybe it's greed when I heard how much girls get from stripping by Freda and just dancing on this pole. I'm too young to be a stripper. But the economy isn't smiling either and I wasn't forced either. And I have to do what I have to do, if not how will I keep up the rent money now that the landlord is bent on sleeping with me or how will we feed. Juggling two jobs doesn't even feel like it, I work at the school cafe after lessons for college exams then I head right here and stay till midnight. At this point it seems like the best option is giving up my dream of been a lawyer, a dream that I've held so dear to my heart now I watch to evaporate into thin air. Because money I make on a daily goes to the family up keep. But yet I'll still find myself going for the lessons, even if I pick the form and pass the exams, how will I get money for my tuition f*e. I felt a spank on my butt that drives me out of my thoughts. "I can see your having a hard time shaking your waist, not to worry I have a solution" a fair looking man said from beneath the pole while stroking his trouser. I didn't answer him I just continued to dance properly now holding the pole much firmer even after he smacked me again. Mike was one of the most renowned customer this Funfair club has had, and also consistent for that matter. Yet he makes it seem I'm the only girl that is here, always throwing his stunts on me despite my refusal but today he seems rather adamant. He came up to the pool stand, I could feel the liquor on his breathe. Yes Mike is a fine one, tall, pink lips and athletic body all most all the girls in the club want him even if it's for free and not paid. "I want nothing but to have his baby" Freda would always say. I can't even judge her but the man has no character and can't hear no for an answer, worst of it all he doesn't respect women. "Little slut, what do you think you are?" He said caressing my back. His touch make my skin crawl, but what can I do, one wrong move and I'll be left without a pay and jobless too. "Yo..ur drunk" I muttered. "Oh keep shut, not drunk enough not to know what I want, I want you" He grabbed my butt with his huge hands giving it a squeeze, tears formed in my eyes but I held it back. No way I was going to cry in front of this arrogant man. It would do nothing but magnify his pride. Well if he thinks he is king by always wanting to play violently, I'll teach him queens don't play violently but with aura and audacity. "At least let's get a room, Mike" I managed to say. There was shock in his eyes then happiness, he turned to his friends "Guys she finally agreed to do what I want" They all cheered him while he held my hands together we went downstairs to get his room key. His hands couldn't just stay in one place as he kept touching me but I sulked it in. Just few minutes and all of this would be over. "Why not take a shower while I stay here ready to have you" I said my voice didn't come out as seductive as I thought. He undressed while my eyes stayed outside the window in the comfort of the beautiful stars and moon. When I heard the shower running, I knew he has started bathing. I poured pills from the container I hid in my short skirt into the drink beside the bed then poured it into the glass. I always have sleeping pills in the pocket of this skirt, that's how I've been able to escape this few months of nasty men that by all means want to sleep with me. I held mine and layed there with my legs spread, this is to make his fantasies run wild. He came out looking at me like a hungry lion , licking his lips and clapping his hands like he won lottery. I stood up slowly and calculated to offer him the glass of wine while pretending to sip from my own glass. "I'm still wondering why you changed your mind, six months and today you suddenly give in" he says staring at me suspiciously. "I couldn't just help it, after denying a gentleman for that long" I winked, while touching my long wavy hair. "Is there something I should be afraid of?" He asked. Well Mike might be arrogant and annoying but he is sure smart. "Not at all just stay in the moment, don't spoil the vibe" "Exactly what I've been dying to hear" He turned himself another glass while I still pretended to be sipping this one glass. He gulped the second glass all at once and he wasn't feeling dizzy or sleepy, it was beginning to scare me a lot. I'm sure when his done with that, he'll want to sleep with me, no way I was going to sleep with this arrogant man. My virginity is very precious to me and I've always wanted to give it out to my husband the one I'll be spending the rest of my life with. Not just some one night stand of fleeting orgasm and pleasure.I didn't leave the bar immediately, I stayed a while longer. But when it seemed like the voices in my head were getting a better part of me.Like what it would seem to work for Mike…?Will I escape his sexual harassment…?It's not like the man is sex starved , maybe I hurt his pride?My fiesty head has cost me my peace of mind..The thoughts could go on and on…..I snapped out of my thoughts and decided it was time to leave, then I called the bar girl to pay her, but she said my bills were already paid for, interesting.I used the money to pay for transport, hoping to give some to my sister to pay any school related issue.On getting to the house I spotted my sister Tessa, squatting next to dad, I picked at my heels hoping to get to them faster."Tessa what's going on?”She kept shaking and pointing at Dad, my heart was already racing very hard, hope this is all but a prank.Because dad was to get a job and I was hoping to celebrate that first thing when I got back, right?But what wa
He walked into the bar casually like his been here multiple times or this is some sort of frequent place. Not quite sure that he will recognize me, he saw me just one night right?, because I might have been in a hurry to leave Funfair at once due to what had transpired, therefore I didn't notice how a fellow could be so hot and charming. Green eyes on grey shirt and blue jean, he was giving me simple billionaire vibes but my eyes were just on his Adidas, I mean that could cost exactly my house rent. Our eyes met shortly after his order of chilled soda was served, I looked away quickly when I noticed a smile on his face forming, I didn't want him thinking that I am just a cheap girl that is out to seduce him for his money. After all I had more pressing problems and the harsh truth is no one was coming to save me. The waitress brought me a cup of chocolate yogurt. "I didn't order anything, Mel" I told the short and plump girl who took my orders everytime I came to this bar. "Yes
My eyes were already heavy from all the crying but I had to stop. Because that won't reduce the pile of debts or the fact that Mike would not give up on me.On my body, specifically.Like it was some deadly obsession he had for my body, I went to the room to sleep. Maybe by the time I wake up, all this nightmare would be over.While passing the mirror I saw my pale reflection, I was still in my pajamas at past 9am for the first time in years. The last time that was would be years ago ever since my mom started nagging.I had to start working early to reduce the nagging but it was already too late, because her greed had already exceeded all our love or even our presence. Like she didn't want to be in our midst. All we did could not please her even one bit.My wavy black hair is exactly what I got from my mother, wide hips and butt, fair skin and all but is that the only thing people see in my body. Can't they love me, I'm the best student in school, the next exams would be next month an
Maybe it's true that most joy doesn't last.Maybe for a while.But not for long. Or is it just my case?There's a loud banging on the door, my eyes flutter open, the sun is already out, my eyes open swiftly searching for my alarm. OH NO!It was already 8:00am, I am so doom with the school Cafe shop where I work on morning shift, my heart doesn't stop trumping on how I'll shower, dress up and start running to the bus station in two minutes because madam Beatrice will set hell loose for me if I get to the shop by 8:10am, she will definitely reduce my salary, the same salary which if deducted nothing will be left.My head is clouded with thoughts when the banging on the door wouldn't stop.I rush to see who it is. One of my guesses suggested Sir Ricky, I already had a prepared answer "my dad is not around, we will get the rent to you by weekend.Opening our wooden door to a face I did not expect, I closed the door. Maybe my eyes were playing sleep tricks on me, right?I didn't just see M
A replica of me.Hourglass shaped in her mid forties, still looking beautiful in her fair skin and nice smile.My mom.... or Theresa to us a few times. She dressed in a brown laced gown and black heels, it looked flashy and rich, stinking of wealth.How shameless of her to smile, hoping for me to smile back which I do not, she takes it as a clue to start stating why she was here."Good evening Amber, how are you?" She asks while forcing a smile.I smirk "I'm certain that's not why your here""At least can we sit?I snapped "No_"Okay fine, I want you girls to come back to my mansion with me, Tessa and you Amber, I'll take good care of you" she said.She continued "All your father does is drink and waste himself, he can't even take care of himself talk more of you girls"I don't know what she kept saying after that, but I just watched her red lipstick move on her heart shaped lips, till she tapped my shoulder."Why did you zone out, we're having a conversation”"A conversation is not o
He came up to me, I could see the desire in his eyes and I'm sure he could feel the tension and fear in my eyes but didn't mind.What does he care about if not himself?He tried touching my butt again and I removed his hands."Why are you acting like a virgin, this girl?" he said, already frustrated.I don't blame him for saying that, who is sane enough to believe that a girl is a virgin while working in a bar like funfair."Why are you rushing like the night isn't young""I'm I supposed to be taking my time, this is not some love making spree, let's get this done with" he lifted up his hands and touched his head.Yes the drugs were taking effect now, my heart was already dancing with joy, soon this nightmare will be over."Haven't you asked why I kept chasing only you in this club?""No I haven't, do me a favor by telling me" I responded."This your killer shape, I'm obsessed with it and your beautiful face. I keep wondering what is a goddess doing in a place like this," he said, adm
