OMG! What did I do last night?
I was barely awake but the horror of what had happened last night was beginning to dawn on me. Momentarily I hoped it had been a dream. My phone pinged! Oh god, this must be the start of it.
I ignored the new text and went straight to the local news sites. I checked social media. Nothing! Dozens, if not hundreds of people must have seen me last night. All of them will have had mobile phones. My picture and videos must be all over the internet by now! But no!
I checked my phone. It was from Mistress Mel, "Can you come in half an hour early tonight?" I replied "Ok." without a second thought. "Good, come in via the side entrance. You can keep your clothes on."
I spent the afternoon scrolling through the usual local sites. There was nothing at all to suggest that a naked man had been suspended on a St Andrew's cross festooned with fairy lights above Belfast's busiest night spot last night.
"Keep your clothes on........." That struck me as unusual. I'd only once before entered the Kitten Club wearing something other than a tracksuit over my uniform and that had been for my interview. Perhaps this was going to be my dismissal. I dearly hoped not. I loved my job.
I parked in the my usual spot behind the club and went to the side door. As I approached Brian and Alan were just leaving. They waved over at me. Alan shouted "She's in good form tonight. Be good!" If I was in trouble or at risk of being sacked Alan & Brian would have known about it. This put my mind at ease a bit.
I heard laughter. Mistress Mel was sitting watching a video of my performance last night. Actually, she was watching about a dozen different videos of the same thing on the multiple monitors in her office. Her laugh was like Viagra to me, I never failed to get aroused when I heard it.
"Sit down Kym. We need to talk."
I opened my mouth but she guessed what I was going to say, "Don't worry, we sorted it. Alan & Brian know people." I rolled my eyes. In Belfast that generally only meant one thing, paramilitaries. "No, not like that. They have connections." She went on to tell me that Alan was retired from publishing and Brian from the judiciary. They still knew people so it had been relatively easy to keep last night's adventures out of the press and social media though undoubtedly something would leak out. She waved away my thanks, "The club has much to lose if this comes out. I was reckless. Brian & Alan were the angriest I've ever seen them. They've invested a lot of time and money into making this place work." She went on to tell me how she had met Brian & Alan at a DFI conference 12 years ago. They had struck up a rapport straightaway. Then, when her publishing business which she had inherited had hit a rocky patch they had put together a recovery plan which enabled her to sell the business and earn enough, with their further assistance, to set up The Kitten Club. The three of them were now equal shareholders of the club but Mel retained the controlling rights.
"Should I get changed for work now Mistress?"
"No, Kym. You were such a good little slut last night that I'm giving you tonight off on full pay." I smiled. "Thank you Mistress." I didn't need the money, I'd have paid to be a Kitten in the Kitten Club, but it was nice to know that she appreciated me.
"Kym, I've been watching you very closely for some time now. And I've been talking to people."
"People Mistress?"
"Liz, your ex-wife and Christine and Katie from your office. They were all very nice about you and confirmed what I already knew and hoped. Don't worry, they don't know who I am or why I was asking questions."
"What questions Mistress?"
"I just wanted to be sure."
"Sure of what?"
