I woke up the following morning and decided to take a shower before I called Celeste on the number she gave me yesterday.
I wanted to ask her if I can go fetch some of my stuff that I of course deem necessary plus I really needed a change of clothes.
Within an hour, Celeste showed up to my room.
"Morning Miri", she greeted. enthusiastically while lounging on my bed.
"Morning Cele, how did you sleep?", I responded deciding to also give her a nickname.
"Good as always and you?", she asked.
"Hmmm, like a baby", I said.
"Awesome, now let's go and fetch your stuff, I'll drive".
"You've a car?", I ask her, showing how surprised I really am.
"Of course, it's one of the reasons why I started working here, it's the first thing I bought".
"Wow, I envy you right now", I tell her with a huge grin across my face.
"Now let's go, we need to be back early for your Day 1 of training", Celeste reminds me.
I grabbed the bag I came with yesterday and followed behind Celeste.
When we got to the garage I was shocked with the number of cars in there. Apparently the garage we were in had cars for the girls only.
We walked up to Miranda's car. It was gorgeous.
We got in the car, Celeste on the driver's seat and me on the passenger front seat. I put the location of the motel I've been staying in on the GPS.
We arrived at the motel within 45mins.
I greeted Molly by the reception and I told her that I'll be checking out today.
We went up to my room and packed everything I needed.
I left the rest in the room and asked Molly to give it out to orphanages or something.
We drove past McDonalds to get something to eat.
Within 2 hours we were back at the club and it was just a few minutes after 10am.
We went up to pack my stuff and around 11 we went to the rehearsal room on the 1st floor.
Celeste asked Luca to use a private one where they'll be just the 2 of us so that I'll be more comfortable with my first time.
"How's it?", Celeste asks me pointing to a pole that was in the midlle of a very spacious room.
There was a sound system on the other end and a laptop, probably connected to the sound system for dancers to play music when rehearsing.
"It's beautiful", I announce while nodding my head.
"I'm just gonna play some slow music, you go to the pole and freelance. Let's see what you got", I just nod my head.
Celeste starts undressing showcasing her army green set, it was beautiful and it hugged her curves perfectly.
"You need to take off those jeans", she says noticing that I've just been standing there awkwardly. I nod my head and take off my jeans leaving me in a plane black set.
"I love your tattoos", she acknowledges.
"Thank you", I say while heading to the pole.
When I get to the pole, 'leave the door open by bruno mars' starts booming on the sound system.
I start of by going around the pole afraid that it might fall or something.
"The pole is not gonna fall don't worry, just maintain your balance, close your eyes and let the music guide you", says Celeste as if reading my mind. I follow her instructions and I start moving around the pole as if I've done it before.
My movements where very smooth but you can still tell that I'm new at it.
Celeste stares at me in awe. Amazed just as much as I was at some moves that I started picking up as the song continued.
Celeste claps her hands at the end of the song.
"Wow Mira, you're very good. A natural. By the end of the week you'll be a pro at this. Plus you got the best coach ever", she says with a proud grin.
"Thank you", I respond shyly.
"Now let's get back to business", Celeste says while dragging me back to the pole with her.
'Up by Cardi B', starts playing and Celeste starts guiding me on how to work around the pole over fast songs.
After an hour we decided to take a break.
Celeste took me to the kitchen so we could grab something to eat.
We got to the kitchen and there were two ladies inside, one probably in her 50s and another in her late 20s to early 30s.
The older lady introduced herself as Gwen. Apparently she's been working here for over 15years now. She's very nice and has a motherly feeling.
The younger one being Cleopatra and she has been working here for 3years now. Cleo is Gwen's daughter and she's not yet married or have any kids.
They served us buffalo chicken wraps with blue cheese and celery.
The dish was mouth-watering.
We then went to our rooms to take a shower.
When I got to my room, a lady by the name of Linda came and took my body measurements so that they can buy me new clothes of course.
30minutes later I had on fresh clothes and Celeste came to pick me up so we can watch pole Tutorials on YouTube together in her room.
Her room was not as big as mine but it was also beautiful.
We watched some tutorials while eating some snacks and getting to know each other better.
I then decided that Celeste was my new best friend since I didn't have one anyway.
By the time we were done it was a bit after 6pm and Celeste had to get to the stage around 7pm.
Celeste does both stage and private dances apparently.
Her fixed amount is $4000 per night.
I decided to go watch her on stage. I was sitting on the other end of the floor while she was on the stage.
It turned out that all those moves I thought were amazing when she was teaching me were just beginners as she had said.
When she's on stage she looks like a predator hunting it's preys for money.
Of course people loved her.
Her movements were just perfect.
The dj would exchange between soft and fast songs and of course she did great with both.
When Celeste was off the stage l decided to also leave and head back to my room.
It was now 7:30pm.
When the lift to go up opened, Luca was in there with an all too serious business face.
"Hey Luna", he greeted with my middle name. I didn't complain though cause I also prefer addressing him with his middle name.
"Evening Mr López", I greeted with an awkward smile.
"Call me Reo or Luca, I'm not that old", he chuckles.
"I prefer Luca", I tell him honestly.
"Awesome cause I also prefer Luna. Luna and Luca, i like the sound of that", he adds. I just smile and nod my head.
"I was just headed for bed now, I'll sign the contract tomorrow and bring it over".
"No need to rush, you can bring it in by the end of the week when you start working so that you can get enough time to read everything and tell me if there's anything you don't understand or agree with",he tells me.
"Okay, thank you".
"The pleasure is all mine", he says with a small boyish smile. The serious look he had just minutes ago all vanished without a single trace that it was even there. "Goodnight Luna", he adds.
"Goodnight Luca", I also give him a small smile before taking the lift up to my room.
I'm pretty sure if my room wasn't the first door, I was probably gonna get lost in this huge Mansion.
When I got to my room I decided to take a shower first before heading to bed.
After my shower I heard a knock on the door.
I walk out to find Celeste with two plates of food.
"I figured you didn't get the chance to grab something for dinner so I decided to get something so we can eat together", she says.
"Thank you, come in", I say while opening the door wide enough so she can come in.
After eating, Celeste and I chatted for a few minutes before she had to go.
Decidicing to call it a night, I hopped on my bed and dozed off within a few minutes.
