She heard the clack of her heels before she felt the softness press into her back. A few stands of blonde hair entered her vision as a face came into view.
"Heeeeeeeeeeeey bestie." Crystal exclaimed, her voice sounding out of breathe and her face flushed.
"Hey Crystal. ...You know I told you about those damn spins of yours. Leave you tired girl." she handed her friend a bottle from the vanity stand in front of her.
"I know but the crowds love to see me twirl with just my legs. I can't help it." she answered after she got done with the bottle of water, only to lean forward and put something in it's place, "FYI here you go. Boss says it's yours now."
It was a old beat up Poloroid camera that looked completely out of place in a den of sin and poles. She'd seen it while on stage but wasn't sure where it came from. Her finger traced the edge of the lens as she looked back at Crystal who just shrugged.
"You know the rules, if it's on stage when you leave, it's yours now. Unless someone claims it but no one has. And the manager doesn't want that old thing." she went to drink the rest of the bottle.
"Eh...," something in Roxanne's head told her it was important but she couldn't pharse why through her fuzzy memories, "I guess I can keep it. Maybe get some cash online for it. Or maybe it's from one of those old geezers that show up from time to time. Maybe he'd pay more to have it back..." she grinned, "Or maybe pay to NOT have it leak to his family."
"Maybe it's Murphy's... MMMM I'd love to spend some time with him." Crystal cupped her hands together and looked on dreamily.
"Only cause he's rich." Roxanne leaned back into her chair, slipping the camera into her purse, "Dunno why he shows up when he could just hire strippers. 'Sides, you don't wanna get into court with his family when he finally kicks it and tries to leave you cash."
"I suppose not." Crystal shrugged, "I can see the court case being dragged out till MY kids are fighting for it. Not that I'm in a hurry to have them anyway." she added with a giggle.
Roxanne also laughed as she brought her friend in for a kiss. Both were bi, though leaned on each other more than any of the guys they've dated. Besides the crowd ate it up when the girls were making out mid dance, and way more believable than some of the other dancers. Manager had to shoo them off stage a few times before it got way too heated. Some of the other dancers were a little off put by the duo too; some because they didn't trust the 'dykes' and a few others due to not having a partner that was as 'understanding' as Roxanne and Crystal.
They didn't care; they were together and having fun. It wasn't the best life but together they felt they could take on the world or anything. Maybe they would grow apart but for now it was excitement and fun.
"Oi, sexy bitches."
The pair turned and saw another dancer walk up to them. Sporting a big affro and bellbottom jeans with a bikini top, Rylee waved at them as she sat in a chair next to them, her dark skin even darker under the neon lights of the room. She started to take off her hoop earrings as she kicked up her feet on the table. She was a pretty good friend, the one who helped the pair get the job and was one of the few gals who wasn't a pain to deal with.
"What's up Rylee? You doing some after job fun or something." Crystal snickered as she untangled herself from Roxanne.
"Maybe another night. I have to cover your next shift." she grunted, taking off her platform boots and looking under the table for a new pair, "Ah fuck they want sexy teacher this time... I hate that blazer."
"Why what's wrong with Crystal's shift?" Roxanne sat up to pay attention.
"Not just hers, yours too." she thumbed towards the red head, "Manager said you got a special guest requesting a private dance; both of you."
"Mmmm someone must be having a B-day if they bought the both of us." Crystal leaned down and copped a feel of Roxanne's chest, earning a moan, "Did you catch the john? I hope it's not like last time with those twerps that got too handsy without putting the money up."
"No idea." she tossed Roxanne an index card with writing on it, "There's the room and instructions. Booked full course so unless they get uppity, have fun. Jimmy and Bertha are on call tonight so they can just trounce anyone that you get a bad feeling about."
"Full course... mmm been awhile. Wonder who the lucky guys are." Roxanne muttered as she stood up for one final strectch before pulling Crystal with her, "Come on we need to get dressed up for this."
In time the pair found themselves before one of the private rooms. The stripclub was built into an old hotel and the former high price rooms were converted into private entertainment rooms(and more) while the rest of the place was ripped out to become a club. Each room had plenty of sound proofing to isolate each room, but they all had a 'panic' button for the girls to hit in case something went wrong.
"Well, let's see who won the grand praise." Crystal said as she opened the door.
Roxanne gave one last fix of her outfit and purse as she walked inside with her.
