He parallel parked directly in front of the Massage Parlor, sandwiched between a Tattoo Parlor and a Retail Dope Store. It was across from a candy store, a twenty-four-hour bakery, and a bottle shop.
He rang the bell, heard the lock release, and stepped inside. The strong thick incense smell struck his nose with a little bite that was not unpleasant but familiar for some reason. He wondered what smells were there that needed to be that strongly hidden. The quiet reception area was fitted with a couch, a club chair, and a small receptionist's desk. A tall live plant and a display of massage oils, adult toys, and condoms were for sale, comprising the room furnishings. The woman who greeted him at the door leaned outside, where she looked both ways up and down the street before she closed the door behind him. Music hummed above him someplace in the ceiling.
She asked him what he would like, and he said, "Someone to jack me off, suck me off, fuck my ass, and let me fuck them."
Laughing lightly, she said, "Yeah, man, You, me, Ann in the backroom, and every other person over twenty-one. What do you expect to get you, dreamer?"
Dale replied, "Nothing for free that I do not deserve, and as much as I can have, Ruby Sue."
"You are a clever man. How much money are you willing to spend?"
"The amount that allows us to know we were appreciated, happy, and satisfied."
Dale stopped her by asking her, "Are you going to be my masseuse?"
She replied, "Of course, silly. You don't think I would have this conversation for another girl, do you?"
"Before I can tell you the price, I need you to tell me how much time we have before you have to walk out of here."
He replied, "I can spend three hours."
"In the time you have, we can do it all. After that list, I may have a discount opportunity for you to consider."
Dale pulled an envelope from his boot. He laid eight thousand five hundred dollars on the receptionist's desk. He said, "I can cover this, so what do you say? Okay? If you are down for this, let's get the money settled and get to it; how much do you say?"
