Emerald and Diamond had just finished counting their first set of money they earned for the night.
"Alright. I got $537, how much you got?" Emerald asked her partner. All the other girls were rushing around touching up their make up or changing before going back out.
"I got $785." Diamond calculated the total on her phone. "That's $1322. We get $661 each."
"We can easily get a few more hundreds for the night." Emerald said confidently. The two girls high fived and laughed before putting their money safely away because you couldn't always trust all these bitches in here, and got changed into different outfits.
"Hola chicas! You were muy bonita out there." Another dancer came up to them. She was an afro-Latina from Puerto Rico who was two years older than Emerald but had only been at the club for 18 months.
"Gracias Carmen. It's a busy night tonight." Emerald replied.
"I know. That's why I'm not staying too long, just came to put some of my winnings away. Adios!" She called out before running back outside making the girls laugh.
"Ladies! Ladies! Why are you all slacking? We got people out there with money in their hands, go and get it!" The owner Louis clapped aggressively as he walked into the room which made the dancers roll their eyes. He was a middle age white man who had a wife and 3 kids at home but decided to spend majority of his time being around half naked women. Some girls slept with him but Emerald and her close friends stayed far away from him, he knew not to try anything with them because he couldn't afford to lose them. They were his headliners for most of the nights.
"We just regrouping." Diamond said as she got up to get her and Emerald's next outfits.
"Well do it quicker. I got two private rooms for you. Big ballers so don't take too long." With that Louis walked out the dressing room not before snapping at one of the girls to get out his way.
"I swear we need better management." Emerald said annoyingly.
"Right. Anyway, I bet he was talking about those sexy boys we took on stage. They looked like twins." Diamond said as she slipped into some white short shorts and a fishnet v neck crop top that was also white. Emerald had the same version in green. They had to have flower skin toned pasties over their nipples since the top had holes in it.
"I know but the afro one is defo mine." Emerald laughed as she put on her outfits.
"Ok girl I see you claiming some dick. Here's me thinking I would be the first to jump on them." Diamond said as she put on her lip-gloss and fixed her hair.
"Whatever. Let's go get this shmoney baby!" With that the two girls left their dressing rooms to go to their awaiting customers.
Huey was sitting nervously in the room. It was comfortable and warm but he has never been in a private room before, that was more Caesar and Riley's thing while him and Hiro would sit in the VIP area. He felt weird asking for a room for just him and a specific girl. Emerald had done a number on him, more than what he would've liked.
Her skin was soft, her eyes were pretty and her curls were curled to perfection. He just wanted to see her again. Who would have though a stripper could make a gangster feel this way?
"I hear you've been wait for me." The angelic voice said which made Huey turn his head towards the door. Her legs were going on for miles as it strutted in like a model on a catwalk in front of thousands of fashion designers.
"And what if I did? Is that a bad thing?" He questioned as she came over to him.
"No. It's my job to satisfy your pleasure of watching not touching." She climbed onto of his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Let's take it slow."
She moved slight to select a song on the iPad that was connected to speakers in the room. Ciara-Body Party began to play.
'Oh, it's like that?' Huey thought as she began to grind her hips against his. Emerald was definitely worth his money, especially since Huey didn't spend his money lightly.
Emerald grabbed his large hands and traced it over her body. Technically, she shouldn't be letting him touch her but at least she was the one directing him. She leaned forward and began singing the song lightly and seductively in his ear, sending a shiver down his spine. Huey found a $20 in his pocket and stuffed in her shorts, making her giggle from feeling him grip her waist.
"Oh, you got money money?" She laughed at him as the song came to an end and another soothing song came one.
"You can say that." He replied as he leaned forward and popped open a bottle of Hennessy. "You drink?"
"Of course I drink. I work at a strip club baby but I really shouldn't be drinking at work." She told him as she rubbed his muscular arms.
"I won't snitch."
"Eh. Good enough for me." Huey poured the brown liquor into two glasses. "Cheers." Emerald said as she took a sip and instantly her body warmed up.
"I see why they call you Emerald." He told her. He must of drunken too much today because he is being way too social and almost desperate today. All over this one stripper who just wanted his money.
"And why is that baby?" She asked but she already knew the answer to it. It was obvious, she heard it many times before.
"Your eyes. It's a hypnotizing green colour. Precious enough that it should be named after a gem." He told her as he stared right into it. For some reason, not even she could turn away from him, he was just too damn good.
"That's why my names Emerald." She answered him as she stroked her long nails along his sharp jaw line.
"But what's your real name?" She laughed at this question and moved off his lap but her legs were still hanging over his.
"Now you know I can't tell you that. Issa against the rules. Don't worry about my name, what's yours?"
"Huey. Huey Freeman." Confirming his name made her naturally large eyes, go wider than it already was.
"Wait... Freeman? As in the gang...?" She asked nervously. They have had their few shares of gang members in the club but never a leader like The Huey Freeman. Everyone knew his name but it was hard to put a face to him as well as the other members who run everything. If she remembered their names correctly, it was his brother Riley, who was currently with Diamond. The other two outside were who she guessed were Hiro and Caesar, the other top dogs in the gang.
"Yeah. I run it. Does that worry you?" He asked, trying not to show his concern. This wasn't normal for him. He didn't like it.
"As long as you don't kill me." She said half seriously.
"I only kill if I need to."
Jazmine opened her mouth to ask him another question when the door swung open.
"Emerald! Get your ass out here and do table work. It's getting dry out there. Fuck, you and Diamond have been all over the same customers the whole night. Ruining my business!" Louis shouted. Before Emerald could cuss him out, her stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind him.
"He's such a dick. I hope we get a new manager." Emerald rolled her eyes as she stood up and put her now empty glass back on the small table.
"Does he always talk to you like that?" Huey asked annoyingly. Something about the guy didn't sit right with him and he always trusted his gut.
"He tries it. He's lucky he walked out because I would have ripped him a new one and Diamond is worse than me so I hope he didn't talk to her like that." Emerald sighed as she walked towards the door.
"If you need me to fuck him up just ask." Huey smirked as he followed her out. As they stepped out, they saw Riley and Diamond on their right and they looked very interested in each other.
Riley pulled out his phone and handed it to the young dancer who then started typing on it.
"I guess your brother got my girls number. Good thing no one else is here." Emerald laughed and Huey just shook his head.
"Forget about him. I'll leave you to do your thing."
"See you later... maybe." Emerald smirked as she ran her hand over his body and sent him a sexy wink. "Diamond lets go hoe!" She grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the young boy.
"Bye Riley." She waved flirtatiously at him before trailing behind Emerald into the main room.
Huey looked at his brother who walked over to him with a stupid grin on his face.
"Why you smiling so hard?"
"Did you not see that girl?" Riley looked at his brother like he was the dumbest person he's ever seen.
"Whatever. Let's go."
"Nah nah. We staying till the club close. Only another 30 minutes to go." Riley grinned before bouncing to where Hiro and Caesar had been on their own the whole time, Huey following slowly behind.
It has been a very interesting night and he sort of didn't want it to end just soon.
A lil Huey and Emerald/Jazmine. Soon Emerald will become Jazmine.
