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.Miguel how? When? I was so confused. My head just kept spinning but I had to control myself."Miguel is my boyfriend, I wanted to tell you when I come back but don't mind him, he'll come around" she said smiling forcefully.I've known Perry long enough to know when she's smiling genuinely and when she's not, why would Miguel even dash off like that."Don't let that little incident ruin our mood, let's grab a drink or something" I said rubbing her shoulder while trying to push the small box she was carrying.We went over to the small drinking hub outside the airport and grabbed two sodas."How has Texas been? It must be really good to be home" I said, hugging her again."Yeah it was such a beauty that I was so pleased to behold after many years""No wonder you forgot entirely about me" I made the puppy face."Not at all but I'm here now, how is work?""Work? I don't work anymore for now and the next two days" I just shrugged."What do you mean by that parable, speak in words sister" Pe
Folding my hands and standing akimbo "At this point, I'm convinced your everywhere I go"He asked "So what do you think, that I'm stalking you?""Judging from the little I know, not quite" I responded. Miguel really knew how to be cheeky, but at least this lightened up my mood a bit.He smiled "Off to somewhere fiesty queen""To pick up my friend, silly journalist" I replied.There was something relaxed about him today that I can't place my hands on. But then my phone started ringing."Hey pringles, are you here already?""Oh no, my flight got delayed, I'll see you in the next one hour."Okay" I said ending the call, she sounded really stressed. The airport is really far from home, I just kept wondering what to do within the space of that time." Queen in distress, huh!" Miguel caught my thoughts off, I didn't even realize he was still there."Oh not really, my friends flight got delayed that means I'm stuck here""With a prince in shining armor, the airport has this cute painting sec

My smile fell. This message was from Mike. Today just felt like the universe is against me, first I had a good day with Miguel and then my mother just had to ruin it by coming here to threaten me and now this, c'mon all for one individual.A tear slipped from my eyes but I immediately cleaned it and went to fix lunch of pancakes, jam and warm milk.I took a tray to my sister's room."Leave me alone I don't want to speak to you, traitor" she said."Ouch that hurts, but at least this food will change your mind about me" I said dropping the tray on her table."I'm not eating""Then just stare at the food and return the tray later" I smiled, this was her favorite, there was no way she'll resit it, over a little misunderstanding.Closing the door quietly I went over and joined dad who had already come down. I was scared that there would be no conversation."You haven't asked me, how was work?" Dad said looking at me."Sorry I thought.." my voice trailed."That I'll be mad at you, no you sh
That statement hit me beyond measure, if I was told as a prophesy that my mom would actually say those words to my face today, I would have slapped that person across the face.But here I am, watching her stand there not remorseful of what she just said."Amber I didn't mean for it to be a threat" she said trying to hold my hands but I flinched."Mom I don't care what it was, leave us alone, we're fine without you, dad is taking good care of us""Just because he got a job at my husband's company""At least he didn't leave us in trying times, he stayed, that's the difference between you and him" I yelled.She raised her hands to slap me but she held it back."Don't you dare," She warned."The truth hurts, leave us alone mom I beg you, you just keep interrupting our healing process" I said almost at the verge of tears."First time your calling me mom, see my coming here as at least yielded progress"I didn't even realize I called her mom, oh I've just fed her delusion and this time she
I gulped really hard as he chuckled. I don't really know if he was joking but he sounded really serious, so I was so confused about the switch.But to make it less awkward I smiled alongside.There was a cute shade for ice cream just outside the cinema, it wasn't so hard for both of us. It was when we got there that I realized that we were holding hands. But I liked it.I got him vanilla ice cream and he got me chocolate ice cream.We had the ice cream in total silence, just lost in our thoughts, but for my thoughts there was nothing there, it was just blank. I turned to look at him wondering what must have really had him transfixed."I didn't know you liked my face that much," he said without looking at me.My face flushed red, because is he always this good with words?."Oh please don't flatter yourself" came my feeble response."But at least am I permitted to flatter you?" He asked.I turned to look at him and he just looked very innocent yet spilling flirty things at me."I was of
