I called my dad that night. I was happy to hear his voice. I missed him very much. He asked me how I was doing and everything and asked me when I would go home for supper.
�I don�t know dad. I�m really busy at work right now.� I said.
�Oh yeah? Talking about that, how are your dance classes going?�
When I started to work for Barry, I told my dad that I had found a job in a small dance school for children. My dad wasn�t a fan of dance but he never told me to quit that job. It wasn�t good to lie to your parents, but in my place, what choice did I have?
I told my dad that I would try to visit him the next week and we hung up. Then, Suzy called me to tell me that she was waiting for me outside. I grabbed my things and climbed in the cab next to her. It was a hot Friday night in town and we both knew that it would be a big night.
We made our way between the customers and walked to our room, backstage. Some of the girls were already there, ready for the night. Selma, our �nanny� as we like to call her, was busy doing a new girl's hair. I walked over next to her and kissed her one the cheek before I walked to my dressing table.
I was doing my makeup when I looked at the new girl for the first time. She looked so young, maybe younger than me and it turned out I was right. She was 17 and her name was Julianne. I could see that she was playing nervously with her hands and that she was swallowing with difficulty. I smiled and walked over to her.
�Hey, don�t worry. Everything�s gonna be ok.� I patted her thigh in a comforting way.
She was about to reply when Barry walked in. �Ok ladies. It�s time for a real change. From now on, I�m not the nice guy anymore. It�s time for me to be a real boss for a strip-tease club.�
Then he pointed in Julianne�s direction. �This is Julianne, she�s new.� He walked over to her, �Your nickname will be Tia and from now you will do the contact dance only.�
Everyone was shocked. Barry had never done that before. A new girl was supposed to start on-stage, then progress to private dances and if the customers liked her, she would then go to the contact dances.
I looked at Julianne, �Tia�, and I noticed that she wasn�t expecting this either. What was happening?
�Hey Barry! Sorry...but I�ve been here for 2 years and I don�t do contact dances. So how come the newbie here can do it huh?� Carrie, another stripper in the room asked him.
�....because Carrie, the boys here didn�t want you on their laps. They want a cute and innocent girl.� Barry answered her. �And if you�re not ok with that, the door is just behind you sweetie.�
No one spoke. Barry never, NEVER acted like that with any of us. He was always the nice and understanding boss.
�So, the schedule for tonight girls: make them happy, make them dole out their money and make them cum! Kate and Nancy, you are the first on stage. Michelle, Suzy, Kali and Julianne, tonight you�re doing the contact and private dances, no stage for you.�
We went back to our things as Barry walked out. Before he stepped out of the room, he turned back and shouted: �Julianne!� The girl looked at him. �If you want to stay after tonight, you have to give me a blow job! Have a nice night girl.� With that he disappeared.
I looked at Suzy in shock. He didn�t ask us that of us, especially when we had been new there. She shook her head in disapproval and took her pills.
~~~
I woke up the next morning with a hangover. Some customers had given me a lot of drinks and shooters and one of the rules of the house was: Say yes to everything that the customer givse or asks of you. I took a long and hot shower before I ate my breakfast. Suzy stepped out of the guestroom and sat with me for breakfast. Since she was taking those pills, she had lost a lot of weight. Her skin was very pale and the black circles under her eyes were even more noticeable.
After breakfast, I brushed my teeth, took two pain killers and put my red Roxy bikini with white polka-dots under my mini denim shorts and my grey cami. I pulled my hair into a loose bun and put on some mascara and lip gloss. I put my flip-flops on, and we left the apartment.
The music was loud in Josh�s backyard. It was a wonderful sunny day for a barbecue. Suzy and I made our way to Josh�s bedroom where we put our stuff. I took off my cami and so did Suzy. We went outside and found Josh flirting with a cute red hair girl.
�Still flirting, Casanova!� Suzy put her arm around his shoulders.
Josh chuckled and made the introductions. Unconsciously, I looked for Hayden in the crowd. He wasn�t there yet. I started to chat with Suzy, Josh and his girl.
I had been there for about an hour when I heard a girl scream. I already knew at that moment what was happening. I saw Josh walked toward to the small crowd that had been formed in front of the backyard door.
�Guess what?� Suzy said to me. �Hayden has brought his lightsaber!� She joked.
I burst out laughing and Suzy and the girl followed me. When she was in a great mood, Suzy was hilarious. As we were trying to stop laughing, Josh walked towards us with Jamie, Joey and Hayden. When he stopped in front of us, we burst out laughing again.
�What�s wrong?� Josh asked suspicious.
�Suzy said�that the girl was screaming�because Hayden has brought�his lightsaber,� I managed to say, still laughing.
I could see Jamie burst out laughing too, but the boys remained serious.
�Come on guys, its funny!� Jamie let out.
The boys looked at each other and a grin appeared on their lips. We were still trying to catch our breath when we understood what was happening. We turned on our heels and begin to run as fast as we could. The boys were laughing behind us as they were chasing us to throw us in the pool. Joey caught Jamie. I heard Suzy scream when Josh�s arms caught around her waist.
I turned my head and noticed that Hayden wasn�t running after me. I slowed down and took a deep breath. I giggled at the view of Jamie and Suzy splashing the boys in the pool. I heard a noise behind me and turned my head. Hayden�s face was about two inches from mine. His eyes were looking deep into mine and my heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, I hoped that he would just lean in and kiss me. I could feel his warm breath on my lips. His lips looked so delicious and soft. As he leaned in slowly, I stood on my tip toes. His nose barely touched mine and a devilish smile crept onto his plump lips as his arms made their way around my waist. I swallowed hard at the feeling of his hands on me. For a long time now, I have wanted those hands everywhere on my body, touching it and caressing it.
�I�got�you.� It took me a few seconds to realize what he was doing - and that he had hooked me. I wanted to run but he started laughing and put me up and over his shoulder.
�Hayden put me down! You�re not fair!� I was laughing on his back.
�Yeah sure! You made fun of me! Now it�s my turn.� He laughed back.
I laughed at his comment. �Oh yeah! And tell me Master, What will you�� I stopped speaking when I noticed the pool in front of him - then I understood his full intentions. �Don�t you dare Christensen!� I said loudly.
�Too late!� He ran and jumped in the water, pulling me with him.
At that moment, Mister Richards, I never felt such a joy in my life. I was laughing and playing with Hayden and my friends and it was perfect. We were acting the way people our age should act. No problems with money, jobs, apartments, rent....Nothing. It was all about joy and friendship. I wanted this moment to last forever. I was feeling good with my friends and especially with him. He was seeing me as a real person, not a piece of meat. He was wonderful�
As we came up to the surface of the water, I splashed Hayden right in the face. He was laughing so hard that I thought that he would cry. I burst out laughing and he stepped closer to me. He put his arms around my waist and pulled me up. I wrapped my tiny arms around his neck and we hugged, still laughing.
