Julia's POV
"What's wrong with me?
Why do I feel like this?
I'm going crazy now..."
I look straight ahead, focusing on the dim lighting ahead instead of the harsh stage lights as I listen closely to the lyrics of the song playing in the backgroud.
"No more gas, in the red, can't even get it started
Nothing heard, nothing said, can't even speak about it
On my life, on my head, don't wanna think about it
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah..."
My eyes adjust to the light, the bass of the music thumping through my body and vibrating my prominent bones, giving me a kick of a lot more confidence. I turn my head to the left, seeing the girls smirking as they walked forwards to a part of the stage that stopped a few yards later than the rest did. They start dancing, and I feel myself hesitating.
But I wasn't doing this for me.
I take in a deep breath, eyeing the people that were watching me when the light dims and I see the old and young men looking at me with lust filled eyes. I close my eyes, placing my hand in my curled-to-perfection hair and pushed it up more before I start to sway my hips. I danced to the rhythm, putting all my effort into making it look sexy just like I had done countless other times when clients made me dance for them.
"It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind, it can control you
It's too close for comfort..."
My eyes slowly open and wander over to the men in front of me before I remember that I need to earn money. Taking a huge breath, I walk to the pole a few yards away from me, dramatically swaying my hips with each step like a runway model. As I stand with feet shoulder width apart, my heart pounds erratically in my ribcage, but I feel light as a feather.
Like it was easy to just fly away right now.
Swaying my hips and moving the muscles of my breasts up and down, I go down, but keep my legs closed.
"Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder
Aint gon play nice, watch out you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise..."
Leaning against the pole, I take in a deep breath, my eyes closed as the hair slightly covered my face, my mouth slightly agape. I open my eyes before turning around swiftly, my back to them.
I got up, my butt going up in the air with the arch of my back, giving them the perfect view of my ass cheeks. My hands were cupped around the pole to keep support before I stood straight again.
"Your minds in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light..." I sway my hips to the rhythm of the layered voice singing the lyrics.
"Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight? Disturbia, aint used to what you like. Disturbia, disturbia..." I throw my head back, archon my back and screwing my eyes closed once more before immediately raising myself so I stood straight. Running out of ideas, I look over at the other girls and see that they are interacting with the audience they have, hands brushing teasingly over the men's arms or blowing them kisses with glossy polished red lips.
But I wanted more. Needed more. For Demi, Grammy and Mom...
"Bum, Bum, Be-Dum, Bum, Bum, De-Dum, Dum..." I slowly let myself fall back on my knees as the bass repeats itself, my hands placing themselves in front of me before I throw my hair out of my face and smirk when I see the men walking over towards the front of the stage, knowing what was about to happen...
"Faded pictures on the wall, it's like they talking to me
Disconnecting on calls, the phone dont even ring
I gotta get out or figure this shit out
It's too close for comfort, oh..."
I crawl over to them and once I'm in front of a man who seems to've just gotten back from a business trip according to his suit, his eyes take down my body with a smirk. I innocently sit up upon my knees and bend forward towards him, grabbing his tie and pulling him closer to me before leaning forwards, his face slightly pressed between my breasts and neck.
Surprised with myself, I slowly move away, but am suddenly pulled back by the same man. I stay still, rigid and uncomfortable as I feel sharp but thin objects being shoved in the band of my thong and in my bra. I try to regain my smirk as I know what they had done.
The song goes on for a few more verses, thumpin with the perfect rhythm as I slowly stand up, my back facing the man and my bottom pressed into the air before I walk back over towards the pole, again putting effort into swaying my hips from side to side. When I reach the pole, I turn around and go down again, eyeing the crowd seductively.
They were watching me intently, every move anticipated under their greedy gazes. A wave of confidence rushed through me at the knowledge that everyone in the room, even some of my fellow dancers, were watching, waiting anxiously to see what I would do next. Before I knew it I was crouched on the ground, and my calves start to burn from the movement but I force myself to continue. I did something I never expected myself to do.
"Release me from this curse I'm in
Trying to maintain but I'm struggling
If you can't go-o-o
I think I'm gonna ah, ah, ah, ah..."
Without knowing what's come over me, I throw my head back so it is next to the pole and my hands grip it more firmly before I store as my legs wide, giving the entire club a clear view of my covered woman part. I hear whistles and cheers, and when I open my eyes and smirk, money is thrown on stage from all angles. I see some ones, some fives, and even a few twenties, which fills me with pride as I collect the bills and fold them neatly before slipping them into my bra cup. Robby nods at me from the bar, which is a signal for me to go see him. I nod back, and once I get all of it collected, I slip off the stage and walk quickly over to his side.
"Yeah?"
"I'mgoin' home..." Robby slurs, an ar. Sling drunkenly around a random bleach blonde slut. Though I guess I'm not one to talk after that little stunt I just pulled.
"Oh, okay. How much longer should I stay?"
"Allnight, prob'ly... There's moneyto-" He's interrupted by his own hiccup "made..." He stumbles forward, using the girl to support most of his weight. I stop him with a soft grab of his arm. He looks at me with an annoyed, yet lazy glare.
"You're not driving, are you...?"
"Course Iam, what's it," He hiccups. "Toyou?"
Images of what I just did race through my mind, and I slowly let go of him. "You know what? Never mind. Drive safe!" I mock. He just rolls his eyes and tries to find the door with his little new fuck buddy.
Men gather around me, praising me for my performance, showering me with compliments.
But that is not what I saw in that moment...
I suddenly look across the room and see dark hazel orbs burning with so much angry fire that you would think hell itself rested behind them.
