I feel like I am going to faint! Sammy does not know for a fact what I am doing here, but I think she has a good idea. I pull Joanne aside.
“Joanne, can you give us a minute and six shots of tequila.”
“Sure, sweety, I will be back in ten.”
I turn to Sammy. I offer her a tequila, and she downs it.
“Sammy...”
“Don't Sammy me! Why are you dressed like that and hanging out with barbie doll over there?”
“I don't know how to say this...”
“Well, you have two minutes, so you better spill it!”
“You know when I told you...”
“Told me what!”
“That job...”
“What job!”
“The one I told you about in the kitchen...”
“You better not be telling me!”
I interrupt her. I am 23, and I can make my own decisions. There is a reason why I am doing this, and I am not aborting my plan.
“I am the new shooter girl here at Spangles.”
“Sorry, I don't think I heard you right!”
“Shooter Girl...”
“You are what! Have you lost your mind!”
“Please, Sammy...”
I hand her another tequila.
“Becca, I have seen you do some crazy stuff...but this...how is this going to get Matt back?”
“Please trust me...I know what I am doing.”
“This is...”
Before she can finish, Johno is at the table.
“Hey, Baby.” He kisses Sammy. “Hey, Becca...looking good.”
Sammy shoots him a "how dare you" look.
“Am I interrupting again?” Johno asks. “Should I go?”
“No!”
“No!”
“Well,” Johno says. “My friend is in the VIP section; do you girls care to join us?”
“Of course, baby, I will. I trust you will come to your senses, Becca, and join us.”
“I will consider it.”
I think that went well...okay, maybe not...
I walk up to Joanne...I have to carry on...this is my plan...I cannot stop now.
“That looked juicy...I should have stayed.”
I laugh at Joanne.
“Becca, why are you doing this anyway?”
“Do what?”
“Work here...in Spangles...serving shooters.”
Do I tell her the truth?
“I am trying to get my way through business school, and this seemed easy enough. And you?”
“I lost my previous job, and it's been hard to find another. I did not leave on good terms.”
We work our way through another couple of tables when Mike calls up to the bar.
“Ladies, we have a table in the VIP section specifically asking for you.”
He hands us a bottle of Johnny Walker...some of his best stuff. “Off you go...make a first impression that lasts.”
I know Sammy is in the VIP section. This better not be her!
We head upstairs when I see a guy gesturing for Joanne to come over.
Another table stops me for a round of shooters, and Joanne goes on ahead.
“Hello guys, what can we do for you this evening?”
I hear the first guy speak to her. “How about you come to sit here on my lap?”
“Honey, that ain't happening.”
“Well,” The second guy starts. “Where is your pretty friend I saw you with earlier...she can come to sit on my lap.”
“Now, boys,” I hear Joanne answer him. “You know we don't work that way.”
“I will make it worthwhile,” the second guy replies.
“Honey, I don't think you can handle us.”
“Oh, we can handle you,” there is a third guy that speaks. “What about you and me on that back table?”
Then the second guy adds, “Where is that friend of yours? I can bend her over this table.”
I walk up to the table, and I can hear Joanne getting frustrated. It's like a low-budget porn being played out.
“Now, now Boys..behave,” I say as I come from behind Joanne. “No one is bending anybody over a table. If you want a drink, I am happy to oblige.”
You can hear silence fall around the table...then a whistle...then a groan...and then.
Then I hear a voice e that sounds all too familiar. “Becca. What the fuck are you doing here?”
I cannot believe it! It is Matt! And he just offered to bend me over a table! What the fuck is going on here!
I turn to run away, but then I remember why I am here...for that asshole at that table. “Matt...fancy meeting you here.”
“Becca!”
I ignore Matt and turn to the other two guys at the table. “Roger, James, nice to see you guys again.”
“Becca...” I hear James stutter
“Becca. I did not know it was you...I am so sorry!” Poor Roger tries to apologize, but he can only fumble at his words.
“No worries,” I say. “Can I get you guys a round of shooters?”
Joanne looks at me with a "what the hell is going on" face. I just smile at her... “We will be back in ten...that is if you boys behave.”
As we turn to leave, Matt jumps up.
“Becca, wait! Can we please talk?”
“Not now, Matt!”
He grabs me by the wrist and pulls me into an empty booth.
“Matt, you are hurting me! Let me go!”
“I knew you were up to something. What are you doing here?”
“I am saving up for business school...”
“Bullshit! And you know it!”
“What was that bending over tables shit?”
He grabs my wrist even harder...
“Harmless fun.”
“Let me go! Matt! Let me go!”
The next thing I know, Matt is against the wall...and it's not me pinning him... The most gorgeous man I have ever seen has Matt by his throat...
“You hurt her again, and I will break every bone in your body!”
Matt is not home when I get in at 2 am Sunday. I do not see him for the rest of the weekend either. He has not called or messaged me.It is Monday afternoon when Mike calls, “There is a big crowd coming in, and we need the extra hands.”“Can Joanne not doit?”“Already phoned Joanne; she is on her way.”“Who has a party on a Monday anyway?”“Please, Becca.”“Okay, okay, I will see you shortly.”I hear Matt knocking at my door. I know this plan was to get him back, but his behavior that night has left me with second thoughts.“Can I come in?”“Yes, come in, Matt.”“Are you working tonight?”“Yes, I am.”“Why are y
It has been a week since my encounter with Josh...I cannot stop thinking of him.Sammy is coming over tonight. I am only working half shift so that I can hang out with them afterward. I told her we could go somewhere else, but she insisted we stay at Spangles. Something about being close to Johno's work.I hear the doorbell ring, and Matt lets Sammy in.“Hey, manwhore!”I shout over to Matt, just as he is about to say something, “Matt, you better not say a word!”“Who is the boss now, Matty?” Sammy teases him.“Sammy,” I warn her too. “Not another word from you either.”She walks up to me and follows me back to my room.“So, did you manage to let Johno off his leash tonight?” I look at her while she blushes in frustration. “What is it that h
I wake up the next morning with a pounding headache...what the hell happened last night...oh...after the freak show in the parking lot, Josh took me back inside the club, and I consumed more tequila than my little body could. Handle...BUT wait, I am not in my bed!OMG, did I come home with Josh! What happened between us? I still have clothes on, so that is a good sign...but this is not my clothes...shit...fuck.Josh enters the room and smiles at me. He sees the horrified look on my face."Don't worry, pumpkin, nothing happened last night.""I am not your pumpkin."He chuckles."How did this happen?""How did what happen?""How did I get into these clothes? They, not mine.""Your tequilas started missing your mouth and ended on your dress... I had to get you into some dry clothes.""You can't undres
I wake up the next morning, and Josh is already gone. He surely keeps odd hours for someone that works in advertising.Sammy is coming over this morning to go through the final preparations for her sister's bachelorette party. I am looking forward to it…I have never been to a male strip club before.I have a shift at Spangles tonight. Sammy does not know that I am still working there…I am telling her this morning. It is not going to go down well.As I make my way to the kitchen, the doorbell rings."Hey, Babe.""Hey, Sammy.""Grab some glasses; we are having wine.""So early?""It is for my nerves.""It is going that bad?""Not at all; everything is going according to my plan.""Last time one of us had a plan, it did not work out so well."
The boys slept over, but they left early again. I find Sammy in the kitchen; she is in a total flat spin, “Hey, what is wrong?” She ignores me and continues pacing up and down, “Sammy! Breath! What is wrong? Is there something wrong with tonight?” “I wish there were. This is way more serious!” “What is wrong?” “He said the “L” word.” “What? Who?” “Johno!” “What “L” word…Oh, that “L” word.” “Yes, and I didn’t say it back. I just froze. It's too early.” “You guys have been together for a while now. If you did not say it back now, you would say it when you are ready.” “Fuck!” “Let us get ready; tonight is going to be epic. The boys don’t know where we are going, hey?” “No idea at all!” “I thi
We just found out that Johno and Josh are strippers! Or what did they call themselves? Chippendales!“What the fuck, Becca?”“What the fuck, Sammy?”Next, it is Bev that interrupts. “Girls, I think my panties are wet. Those two boys! The one’s muscles are so tight; I just wish he’d let me go further down. The other’s hands are so soft and sweet, yet so rough and hungry. I would not mind having those two boys all over me, driving me to ecstasy. I can only imagine what they can do with what they were hiding underneath those hats.”“SHUT UP!” Sammy snaps at Bev.“URGH!” I, too, snap back.“I need a drink; are you coming, Becca?”“Bartender,” I try to get his attention. “Six tequilas, please.”“And six J
Sammy is working at Spangles now. I swear if our parents knew what we are up to, they would literally kill us. Spangles is my very first job as so for Sammy as well. We have not had to work our entire lives. Our families are very well off, and we have always been taken care of. The only reason I ever went through business school is because my father wants me to take over the family business one day. We are standing at the bar, busy getting ready for our shift tonight when I see Sammy turn her face to me in horror. “I have asked Bruno not to let the boys in.” “Let me guess; he let them in?” “Yes, Johno is sitting in VIP. He is alone…for now.” “And we are the only ones on shift tonight.” “How convenient” “Are you going to be okay?” “Hey, if I want to buy those shoes, then I have to be.” But just as I thi
It's Thursday morning; Sammy and I just got on the road to head home for Bev’swedding. The boys will only come through tomorrow; we did not ask why and we did not want to know why either. Sammy and Johno are back together again…why I don’t know. As long as he makes her happy and does not break her heart, then I am happy. I have had no contact with Josh whatsoever. The only reason he is coming is for a wedding date.OMG! I hope they don’t put us in the same room.But as for Sammy, she can hardly keep her excitement in, “I am so excited, Becca!”“For which part? Your sister’s wedding or Johno?”“Both! I hope you will make up with Josh. He makes you happy, and you know it!”“Sammy, I care about him so much, but I cannot stand people lie to me.”Then again, the boys are going to find o
