Page 8 of Anastasia

With wide eyes, I looked over at a sleeping Liliana. What surprised me was how fast she could fall asleep. She had just been telling me directions not even two minutes ago.

“Lily, wake up!” I exclaimed.

She let out a groan just before her eyes popped open. She did not look pleased. It wasn’t until she sat up in the seat and looked around that realization ran across her features.

“She got this house fromjuststripping?” I asked, astonished. All Lily did was nod her head with a grin before opening up her door. I followed right behind her as I exited my vehicle.

We strolled to the house, but just before Liliana could ring the doorbell, it opened.

“Lily,” a beautiful woman said, opening her arms. Liliana happily walked into them, smiling so big. It was something she couldn’t stop herself from doing. Her smile was always there on her face, and it also happened to be one of the most contagious things to ever exist.

“Janice,” she returned the greeting.

Finally, they pulled apart and Janice smiled at me happily. She was slightly taller than average height, and she had a body to kill for. Just like Liliana, full lips sat perfectly on her face.

“Is this the friend you told me about? Anastasia, isn’t it?” she asked, raising a perfect brow at me. Nodding, I watched as she tied her long, beautiful curls up into a bun, making sure to tuck a loose strand behind her ear. She nodded toward the inside of her house before backing away from the door.

“Nice to meet you,” I said, extending an arm for a handshake. She completely ignored my outstretched hand and went straight for a hug.

“These Italians wouldn’t be able to keep their hands and eyes off of you! You’re gorgeous, has an accent, and a nice body. Plus, you’re a natural blonde. We don’t have anyone like you at the club. The men there seem to love anything exotic and erotic,” she said, smirking as if a plan was forming in her mind.

“Come, let’s teach you how to be irresistible!” She smirked before grabbing my hand and dragging me toward a room.

The moment we were inside, I noticed how it was just a dim room with a stripping pole right in the middle. Chairs circled it and the thought of me being up there caused a blush to form on my cheeks.

“So, the first thing I am going to teach you is called the ‘outside step,’” she said.

I turned toward her to see that she was already removing her shirt and walking right up to the pole and wrapping her hand around it. It was almost as if a switch turned on. The kind woman I had seen before quickly turned into a desirable woman.

All she did was plant her foot a centimeter away from the pole before circling her leg around it and repeating the process. She gave me a curt nod before getting off. I took that as my cue, so I repeated exactly as she did. I had to do it about five times to get the hang of it, but once I did, Liliana and Janice were both clapping their hands.

“You’re a natural,” Janice complimented.

A smile made its way onto my face as I got off of the pole, allowing Janice the chance to teach me something else.

“Today, I am going to teach you all the basics. We can practice every single day until you’re caught up, but I think you’re going to make an excellent student.” She smiled.

Nodding my head, I took off my shirt and slid out of my pants, leaving me in just my unmatched bra and panty. I was ready to do this for my sister and my mother.

Hours dragged on.Janice taught me everything I needed to know for the next day. Who would’ve guessed that stripping was a lot harder than it looks? Not only that, but it was also exhausting.

Now, Janice thought it would be smart to assess before calling it quits.

“Do a Pirouette!” Janice shouted out over the music. I stood on my tippy toes a couple of inches away from the pole before spinning with my hold remaining on the metal stick. Then, I leaned back against it with my foot against my knee.

Janice gave me a thumbs up with a proud smile on her face.

“A Fireman Spin!” Liliana shouted, laughing slightly. I did the outside step before clamping my knees on the pole as I dragged myself down while keeping the spin. Liliana and Janice looked at each other with a nod.

“Okay, um, do a Chair Spin,” Liliana said.

I grabbed onto the pole before spinning my body around, all while sitting on air as if I were sitting on a chair. It took a lot of muscle strength. Thankfully, I had my weekly visits to the gym to keep me in shape.

“Okay, last one, do a Back Hook Spin,” Janice called out. The Back Hook Spin took a lot of work, but I managed to learn it after a lot of failures. I grabbed onto the pole before spinning around and hooking my back right leg around the pole just as my body slid down, all while keeping that spin.

“Perfect! We’re finished, and don’t forget about the other ones you’ve learned today as well,” Janice said just before the music cut off. I happily jumped down from the pole and put my clothes back on.
