Chapter 5

We got back to Brooklyn that evening, tired and hungry. Stopping at the local Chinese restaurant, we picked up our dinner, sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, wonton soup and four vegetable egg rolls. We were hungry and exhausted. Entering Tamika’s apartment, kicking off our shoes, we headed into her small kitchen and sat at the table, barely taking the time to get plates, as we taste the food from the carton.

Gazing out of the window at the building next door, I said to her, “You know we will have to cook our own food to make ends meet.”

“You can cook?” She questions as if I’m an alien from Mars.

“Can’t you?” I narrow my gaze. “Of course I can cook. That’s one of the first things a girl from the south is taught, how to cook,” I say. “Why I can make a brown gravy you could swear has meat in it.”

“Hold that thought,” she says pointing her finger at me, “because we will be eating that gravy without meat if we don’t get a job soon. And there’s the other option.”

“Oh, hell no,” I say shaking my head. “Can you borrow some money from one of your boyfriends?”

“They are desperate as I am in this city with the way rent is. One wanted to come live with me but I told him no and good thing I did. You would probably be sleeping on a park bench, or in between Troy and that cocktail waitress in his big king size bed.” She eyes me. But I take her joke and say nothing. “How much money do you have?” She asks me knowing the answer.

“I think I have about forty dollars and nothing in the bank.”

“That seals it. We’re taking the stripper job. I’m calling my friend and we’re going to start this week.”

Friday night rolled around and Tamika was her usual upbeat self. She was happy no matter what happened in her life. She could go with the flow better than anyone I’d ever met. Me, I was the opposite, always wondering and worrying about what would happen next.

I was so panicky I felt like I couldn’t breathe. She brought me a makeup case. “Here you are going to need this. It’s compliments of the club we’re working for. And they sent this. She pulls out a two piece red outfit that looked like a swim suit. The top is a bra with sparkles on it and the bottom is a thong, then she drops a pair of red stilettos with studs on the heels.

I’m sitting there in a daze.

“You have to shave that hair. All of it. It doesn’t matter if Troy thinks all that hair is sexy. The club we’re dancing at is frequent by rich white guys and they don’t want to see a bush. We might be the only black girls dancing tonight, so make sure you shave your legs too.” Before leaving the room she turns, “We can make a lot of money tonight.
