Another night, another wad of cash to bring home and hide underneath her dresser. It was a typical night of bachelor men shouting brazen requests with little dough to show for it. At least when she frequented the hotel lobby, the older men had a bill or two for her time. This was supposed to be a high end club but everyone currently there was under 35 and it showed in the behavior.
Niyah exited the stage to the sounds of whistles, hoots, and praises instead of the usual light applause or silence. Even though it didn’t quench her thirst for fame or attention, it still felt validating to know she had a bangin’ bod. A shot was necessary if she wanted to finish with at least $400 this evening. She could only smile for so long before her cheeks hurt and she wasn’t about to have wrinkles in her 40′s.
Niyah bent over with a teasing smile to grab one last dead president from a regular in the back room. Someone familiar entered the club at that moment, a face she had seen many times but had never bothered to learn the name of. Ni wasn’t about to out herself to this non-stranger stranger. How could they not know who she is? It would simply be impossible to forget a face like hers. The dancer had half a mind to walk right up and get the unpleasantness out of the way but at this point, there was only a reason to go up if they requested. It was time to hit the bar.
The flatterer walked up to the bar and leaned over sensually, maintaining prolonged eye contact with the stranger.
“Can I have a tequila shot?” Her head turned quickly to make the same seductive eye contact with the barkeep. Ever so sweetly, the brownnoser batted her dramatic eyelashes and they smoldered back, knowingly susceptible to Aniyah’s charms. “Thank you, lovebug. That’s why you’re my favorite.”
