Imani
I needed to think about other things than my old life and Kazimir's issues. It was stressing me out on a different level, but I tried not to think about it too much.
I sat down at one of the tables staring off. I was sipping on a bit of henny to feel a bit tipsy, but I wasn't feeling it. My mind wasn't in the right place. I dug my nails into the wood and I tried to carve into it.
My nails still looked really good, but I already wanted a new set. I looked around the club as the music played through the club. Megan was on the stage and she did a spin on the pole. 
I grabbed my glass of henny and I downed it quickly. I slid out from the table and I walked to the bar. I put my glass on the side and waited for them to refill it. One thing about working in a club is that drinks are your friends.
I finished my next glass and I felt light enough to get back to. I served my drinks and did my job. Jake, one of the managers in charge just below Pavel. He made me go to the back section to give dances, but I didn't mind. I was in the mood for it, but it wasn't proper lap dances. It was more of shaking your ass and letting them get a feel. 
Jake was different from Ivan. He was more like, if you let them get a bit of a touch you get more money. He says cross the boundary a bit, but at the same time pull away. Tease them, give them a little something then nothing. 
I went up to the group of men and I chose one of the guys. Diamond was with me as well, we were both shaking our asses and I was having way too much fun. They threw money on our asses and I felt them touching, but I would let it. We finished up and we collected our money.
I smiled and flirted with the guys, even touching them up a bit. Being a stripper was fun at times, you saw how desperate some men are. Especially the married ones. 
I held my money in my hand when I saw familiar men in black crisp suits. Russians. Kazimir was here and I started looking around the club. I spotted him across from the section I was just at. His eyes were already burning into me. How did I not notice him?
I started walking to his direction and he rose up from his seat. I paused from where I was walking to. He got closer, but he walked past me. I got the scent of his cologne. I did the rational thing, I followed him. 
We walked up the steps and I watched the crowd below. The VIP section was in use tonight, so he couldn't just take it all up. I see Mikhail and I hand him my money to hold. One of his men opened the door for us. 
I walked into the room and I shut the door behind me. I looked at him as he stood in the middle of the room with his hands in his pocket. His eyes gaze over my body and I didn't know how to feel with how looked at.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
I covered my chest and wasn't like I could cover my pussy, but covering my chest was enough for him to look up at me.
"Remember, We have a drop tonight, that's the reason why I came to get you."
Shit, I completely forgot. He takes a step back from me and I let out a relieved sigh. I closed my eyes for a second and I needed to think. I needed to focus, I needed to be grounded. There was too much happening between Kazimir and I. 
"I'm going change, I will meet you outside."
He doesn't say anything to me and I take it to just leave. I turned around and I opened the door. Leaving felt odd for me. I wasn't sure why. Mikhail still had my money in his hands, I took it from him and I thanked him.
I went back downstairs and passed all the people and the one thing that stayed on my mind was Kazimir. It's the way he talks to me, it's strange and not Kazimir.
