Every once in a great while, I find the time and get the inclination to step out a little bit and have a little fun. Most often it ends up happening that I have an afternoon during the week where I can sneak away and spend the time to myself. On this one particular afternoon I decided to see what the local strip club and watering-hole had to offer. I had some cash stashed in the back of my wallet and being that I donât drink anyways, I have plenty of money to spend on the babes and lap dances, etc.
The girls in the clubs around Jax are alright, for the most part. Some are a little older and some are just too darn young for me to get excited about. Some are nice and some are desperate. Some are just really horny and seem to be out of their element: like they are pretending to be strippers so they can meet guys and fool around while the hubby is at work or out on deployment or whatever.
I tend to gravitate to these types. I donât want a hard core, trowel on the makeup super stripper type. I prefer a little softer, a little more innocent. Itâs just me. So I got out on a Tuesday and I found myself near Dunn Ave and I know there is a little place there called the Diamond Lounge and I have been in there maybe four times over five years and each experience was different; the bartenders are always different and the girls vary from wild to mild to none at all. One time I went and they had super loud gangster rap blaring and couple of hard core black chicks who looked like they would cut you and I didnât even stay to order a soda. One time there was like six girls and I was mobbed by them and didnât have any fun.
This time I found a female barkeep with cigarette hanging out of the corner of her mouth wearing a bright orange bikini top and a black wrap around skirt. She was about 30, longish blonde hair pulled back in a pony tail with a matching orange skrunchy thing. It was nice in there, cool and dark and her nipples were half hard as she cleaned around the bar and the counter. She said hello and I asked if there were any dancers in and she said it was kind of early but they would have one coming in soon. So I sat down and she got me a diet Coke. The jukebox was playing some old southern rock and it was loud enough to hear it and still quiet enough to think and talk. I had noticed just one car in the parking lot, so using my awesome deductive powers I figured it was just her and I.
As it became apparent to me, not many people visit a strip bar on the North Side of Jax on a Tuesday morning around 11. After about ten minutes I started to get the itch and the phone rang. The barkeep gets it talks for couple seconds and comes back. She leans over to me across the bar, showing some nice cleavage I might add, and tells me that the dancer supposed to be coming in will be late and that it looks like itâs just me and her until about 1pm. I ask her if she has a lot of customers this early and she tells me she is there mostly for prep and they donât usually get anyone at all before noon anyways.
I asked her if she danced and she said she used to, but gave it up when she had her baby a couple years ago. She ended up coming back to bartend when the kid went to school. She still made decent money and she usually got home before six and she like working days but hate being a secretary.
I asked her if she missed dancing at all and she said she missed it some, but the assholes she met more than made up for the nice guys and the guy she married didnât like it at all but then that was part of the reason they spilt up. He was just too jealous and didnât like to see other guys touching her and stuff. She told me, like I would tell you I like mustard on my sandwich, that she really liked the thrill of being touched by strange guys.
Mental note to self: Divorced, likes the touch of a strange guy, no one else here, looks goodâŠ
So I asked her if she would give me a private dance now. I swear to God, I think her eyes glazed over and she said really? You want me to dance for you? Duh! Yeah! They have a little alcove between the end of the bar and the bathrooms that they have some nicer chairs in for the private dances. I asked her how much a dance would cost and she said they usually charge $10 a song but she would do four for $20, if I was up to it. I recognized the bargain and saw some good fun ahead so I said sure. She said she needed to go freshen up in the girls room and that I should sit in a good chair and wait.
