Chapter 6

After the show, Gigi immediately exited the stage. She wasted no time leaving the stage because the customers were going crazy, all vying to book her for the night. The show Sugar had given them was a total blast. They were like rabid dogs. Everyone who witnessed her show wanted a taste of her. Mommy July, the club owner, was beaming, happy with the outcome of the performance of one of her girls, who had become her friend. She was very proud of the woman. For Mommy July, Sugar was one of her treasures at the club, she had gained wealth because of the women. More wealthy clients had come to her club since Sugar had joined as a dancer three years ago. “You’re booked for the whole next week, darling.” She happily told Gigi, or Sugar as she was known on stage. July placed an envelope on the table, overflowing with cash. It was an envelope full of cash, an advance payment for Sugar’s week-long booking. Sugar glanced at the envelope on her vanity table. She stopped removing her makeup and turned to her boss, who had become her friend. “A whole week? That’s so long, why did you agree? I’m going to be worn out, girl.” Sugar protested, her voice laced with a hint of complaint. She continued removing the makeup from her face. Sugar looked completely different from Gigi. Sugar looked like a classy whore while Gigi was just a simple girl, but her beauty was undeniable. Some of her colleagues at the club even said she was prettier without a lot of makeup. Gigi still preferred to cover her real face when she danced, she didn’t want anyone to recognize her when she wasn’t at the club. Even though this was her job, she was embarrassed for her family, she didn’t want them to be bullied because of her. “You don’t want to?” July asked with raised eyebrows, about to grab the envelope on the vanity table, but Gigi quickly snatched it and peeked inside. She looked at July with a smile, “You didn’t tell me the client was so generous, is he handsome?” Gigi grinned widely. July just rolled her eyes at her friend, she knew Gigi, when it came to money, her friend wouldn’t back down. “I didn’t see him, his assistant negotiated with me,” she replied. The man had said that his boss wanted to book Sugar. He had given a huge amount of money just to make sure that Sugar would be his for a week. He hadn’t given any other details. Gigi’s face scrunched up. She thought to herself that her client might be an old, ugly, decrepit man. Disgusting. Even though this was her job and she was selective about her customers, she preferred someone young and not ugly. “He might be old and ugly, you should have checked what he looked like. What if I get there and he’s an old geezer.” “Oh, you’re being dramatic again, it’s a lot of money, you should just be grateful, girl. You were blessed with beautiful looks and a sexy body. If I had your looks, I’d share it with the world, girl. I wouldn’t be selfish, free taste for everyone!” July scolded Gigi. Gigi laughed loudly at her friend’s words. “They’re sorry they’re not getting a taste of my body for free, it’s hard to have sex with men you don’t feel anything for. They’re so gross sometimes,” Gigi grimaced, remembering a client who was willing to pay any amount of money just to watch her have sex with his dog. Those kinds of men were disgusting. “You should be thankful for this generous client, don’t be so picky, girl. It’s a lot of money.” “That’s exactly it. It’s suspicious why he paid so much, and for a whole week. It’s like he’s making sure I’m going to be in his bed.” “Naturally! What man wouldn’t want to get you into bed? Answer me that. Almost every man in there was drooling while watching you. Some of them were even going crazy because they got there too late. Mr. Nagawasa was even mad because he was late.” July said laughing. “Only you and Dyosa don’t want to get me into bed, you’re both too cold,” Gigi laughed. “Of course we’re women, we’re lesbians! We don’t like dicks, we’re allergic to them.” July sounded disgusted by the thought. “I want a jumbo hotdog, baby,” she added. Only Dyosa and July were the only lesbians she knew who didn’t use gay language. They preferred to talk like normal women because they said they sounded more gay when they used gay language. For them, they were pure women. Gigi just shook her head. She finished removing the makeup from her face and got dressed. She was used to undressing in front of anyone, so she didn’t mind getting dressed in front of her friend. After getting dressed, Gigi took the envelope from her vanity table. Again, she took a quick glance at what was inside. She smiled again at the amount of money inside, she was sure she could buy a lot of medicine for her mother and she could buy the toy that Sofia, her youngest, had been wanting for her birthday. It was her birthday the next day, so she had just enough to buy it. She would also pay her siblings’ tuition so she wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore. In her mind, she was already thinking about and calculating her expenses, she would have enough left over to buy her mother some expensive shoes. “The address is in there, where you’re going tomorrow night,” her friend reminded her. Gigi looked at her friend, her eyes questioning. “Tomorrow? I thought it was tonight?” Gigi asked in confusion. Most of her clients were eager to get her into bed. It was strange that her client wanted to see her tomorrow. “Yeah, you’re not having sex until tomorrow. There are instructions in there about what to do, just read them,” July replied nonchalantly, inspecting her freshly manicured nails. Gigi wondered what kind of man her client was. She hadn’t even met him yet, but she was already nervous. She felt something just by thinking about the man she was going to meet tomorrow night. He sounded like a domineering man. An alpha male. One that’s hard to handle. Gigi just shrugged. She would think about it tomorrow, for now, she was going home because her booking wasn’t until tomorrow, she would buy a large pizza from a famous pizza store, her siblings and mother would be happy. Gigi was happy because she had money for her family. She would worry about the mysterious client tomorrow. Whoever he was, she would make sure her services were worth it, even if in her mind, she imagined him as an old man with wrinkled skin, she would serve him with a smile. Gigi exited the building. There was a part of the building where employees of the club could exit without being seen by the customers. The Sugar who danced almost naked on the stage was now gone. You would see a different woman when Gigi left the club. The thick makeup she had worn earlier was gone. The blonde wig she had used was gone. Her brown hair was pulled into a ponytail. She wore tight leggings that molded her shapely legs, and she was just wearing a loose shirt to cover the curves of her body. She looked around as she exited and when she saw that no one was waiting, Gigi breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled as she left the place. Sugar was different from Gigi. Sugar was the gold-digger bitch who wanted nothing but money while Gigi was the loving daughter and sister. Gigi made sure to be a different person every time she went home. Even though she was in the mud, she still tried to fix herself for her family. After all, she did all those nasty things just for them. As she crossed the street, Gigi didn’t notice the pair of eyes staring at her from the shadows. They were burning with desire and it was as if they would devour her at any moment. The eyes were full of adoration and lust. The owner licked his lips as his gaze followed Gigi. Soon.
