As I walked out of the curtain I heard all the men yell perverted things. I heard them whistle, curse and yell out things they would do to me. I threw my leg up in the air into a split. I caressed my caramel skin as I got back up. I grabbed the pole and swung around it. Twisting up into the air and spreading my legs wide open as I came down. I then took off my top. It was sad to say that this was what I did for a living. I'm 25 and I'm still doing this. I've been saving up money since college to just get a job with the WWE. WWE. That is my passion. I don't really wanna be a Diva, but I want to be a writer for them. I don't know if I'll ever get there. When my song finished I walked backstage to see all my other friends smiling widly at me.
"Great job Casey!" Candy Peterson said. She was also a stripper. You can probably tell by her name. One of the best. She's also very sweet and kind. She's like a totally different person when she goes out there. she was a total vixen. Even though we weren't proud of what we were doing, we were still best friends.
"Yeah I guess" I said as I sat down. I held my head in my hands wondering if this was what I was going to be doing for the rest of my life. I certainly didn't want it to be.
"Come on Case, you had guys screaming at the top of their lungs for you. They loved you out there. Look how many bills you got" Candy said. I looked down and noticed that someone had slipped a hundred-dollar bill in my G-String. That was a first. In the 7 years that I've been here, nothing like that has happened. That's right I have been stripping for SEVEN years. My parents won't even look at me anymore because I'm such a disappointment to them. This was the only option. It was also the only job that would hire an 18 year old that never worked before.
"Yeah I guess. It's just that, this isn't what I had planned for me to be doing" I said. After Candy and I stared at eachother for a bit the big boss came in. Mr.Sambrino. He was such an asshole. To him, we were all his. All of the strippers that worked in his club were his property. That's how low he made us feel. Suprisingly, it made us work harder and try to get more money so we can get out of this dump.
"Mendez, table five" He said while handing me the piece of paper with the person's request for me on it. Table five. That meant I had to go give someone a lap dance. Great. I walked out of the dressing room and started walking towards table five. I had been looking down at the request sheet when I had finally looked up. I couldn't believe who I saw sitting there. John Cena. Former WWE Champion. And definitely one of my favorite wrestlers.
"Hey" He said. I smiled.
"Hi" I said. "I'm Casey Mendez.Shall we get started?" I asked.
"John Cena and oh no. I didn't request you for a lap dance. I want to talk to you" He said. Thank god because I know this man has been to many strip clubs and gotten many lap dances which means he would be able to compare. What if I sucked.
"Oh ok then" I said while sitting down.
"I noticed when you were dancing, you were very emotional. As if you didn't wanna be here" He said, looking me straight in the eyes.
"You saw me dance?" I said, completely forgeting what he said after that.
"Yeah. You were pretty damn good if I must say" He said. I blushed. I couldn't believe he thought I was good.
"Wow. Thank you" I said.
"No problem. Now, you are the most gorgeous girl in here. You speak and it makes me feel like you have so much potential. What are you doing here?" He asked. I sighed. Now I have to explain.
"Well it's odd you ask that" I said.
"Why?" He asked.
"Well because I've been saving up money, to try and get a job with the WWE" I said as he nodded.
"Then why this? You could have gotten a job at McDonald's" He said. I laughed.
"I know but that pays too slow. This was easy money. All I had to do was show myself, and it was hard at first but now I'm used to it. I mean I'm 25 and I don't have that many young years left" I said as he nodded again.
"I see" He said.
"And I've never slept with anybody in here. Which means I have no diseases or anything. This is just what I do" I added.
"What does your family think about this?" He asked.
"They won't even talk to me. Let alone, look at me" I said. My eyes started getting teary.
"It's okay. I'm going to get you out of here" He said as I looked up.
"You're gonna what?" I asked again. I thought I heard him wrong.
"I'm going to get you out of here" He said again. This time looking at me dead in my eyes.
"Thank you" I said. He hugged me.
"No problem. Now here's what you're going to do, you're going to go back there, talk to that Sambrino guy and quit" He said. I looked at him.
"What?" I asked in shock.
"Go. Quit" He said. I nodded. I needed to talk to Candy first before anything.
"Okay" I said as I walked back. I found Candy getting ready. She was about to go on.
"Hey girl, how was it" She asked, smiling at me.
"I didn't do anything. I just talked to him. Him being John Cena" I said as she jumped up.
"Oh my god! The sexy one right?" She asked. I laughed.
"Yeah! And he wants to help me" I added. She gave me another hug.
"Aww Case that is so great" She said.
"Yeah it is. But one little thing" I said.
"What?" She asked.
"I have to quit tonight" I said. She looked at me.
"You have to what?" She asked.
"Quit. I have to quit" I said.
"Oh...why?" She asked. She clearly wasn't taking this well.
"Because Candy, he's offering to help me get a job. A job that I have dreamt of getting" I said.
"Okay then. Can I come with?" She asked. I smiled. It would be awesome if Candy could come.
"Let me go ask John" I said while walking out. Once he saw me, he smiled.
"So what did he say?" John asked.
"Nothing yet. My best friend Candy wants to know if she can come too" I said. I was praying he would say yes.
"Well is she coming on soon?" He asked.
"Yeah. Right now actually" I said as he music came on. Why she was swinging around the pole, she looked at me. I nodded at her and she smiled.
"That's her?" He asked.
"Yeah" I said.
"Yeah she can come" He said while taking his eyes off her and just staring at me.
"Why aren't you watching?" I asked.
"Because, Casey your friend is beautiful but I would rather be looking at you" He said. I coudn't believe it. He was being so sweet. I blushed. After a bit of more talking, I went backstage to get ready to leave. Candy and I went back over to John.
"John, this is my best friend in the whole wide world, Candy Peterson" I said while John nodded and smiled.
"Nice to meet you" Candy said while extending her hand.
"Likewise" John said while shaking it. John got up and we all left. When he wasn't looking, Candy whispered something to me.
"He's so hot" She whispered and I nodded. We got into John's car. He offered to drive us home. Early in the morning though, Candy and I would have to go to Sambrino and quit the club. He wasn't gonna take it easily. We were his best. It would have been easier to do it tonight but he was taking interviews from other girls who wanted to be strippers. I had to think of what to say to him. How do I start? Man..all I needed to do, was sleep on it.
So there it is. This story just came to mind and I thought, I'd better put it up before I forget about it. Please R&R!
