Chapter Seven

I woke up at noon and felt slightly better about myself. I was starting work tonight. It was exciting and terrifying at the same time. Ashton had been nice enough to buy me an outfit to wear. It had come with a bra and thong. Both were purple and silky. I looked at myself as I wore it. I didn't look bad.

I'd covered the cut on my leg that I'd made the night before and had put on a lot of make up. I only had an hour before I had to be there. I called another cab and made my way to my first night at The C Club. The 'ADULT' sign didn't scare me anymore. I entered the club and found a few girls wearing attire close to mine sitting around.

"Um, hello," I greeted them, "This is my first night working here. I'm not all that sure of what to do." An older girl with flowing blonde hair, green eyes, and a red bikini-type-thing stared at me.

"Are you Ruthie Camden?" She wanted to know. I nodded. "Ah, Ashton's latest convert. He said you were hot, but I didn't expect you to be this gorgeous." I blushed.

"Thanks," I said quietly, "Who are you?" She smiled.

"I'm sorry," She apologized, "I'm Shannon Lafferty. I've been working at The C Club since I was eighteen. It's a little illegal, you working here. Do you understand that?"

"Yeah," I replied, "But they said it was ok." My stomach was tied in knots.

"Oh, it's fine. We've had people you're age here before, but there are just risks. You'll have to be careful, that's all I'm saying," Shannon explained, "Anyway, you come here everyday that you work and when we open we're behind stage. The music starts and we dance. They'll give you money and some will ask for a lap dance. You don't have to do that unless you're willing. Lila has been working here for six months and still hasn't completely stripped." Lila waved at me. I smiled.

"Good to know," I stated, "When do we open?"

"In twenty minutes," Shannon replied, smiling, "Ten pm."

A few minutes after that, everyone went behind a curtain that led to the various poles. When the club opened, my heart raced. The music began and a few of the girls went out, but most of us waited a few minutes. I went out when Shannon did. I found a pole and pulled myself on it. I saw various guys drinking and yelling at us throughout the club. For some reason, when I saw them, I wasn't nervous. I danced.

I made $120 that night in cash alone. It wasn't so bad after I got used to it. The guys could be rude and shout perverse things at me, but I didn't take it personally. There was only one bad thing about working at The C Club: I missed my parents. I wondered what they think happened to me, and what they'd do if they knew the things I'd done since I left.
