Kim Nguyen. She's entirely responsible for my life now. I'm just joking of course. Kim has no idea who I am. All she did was attend my very rural high school starting my freshman year.
She was slim with long black hair. Quiet, shy, very intelligent and totally flawless. Walking perfection. I was completely mesmerized by her. She didn't know I existed, deservedly so. I was young and a typical dumbass guy back then.
She made an impression on me that never went away. I had a thing for Asian women. Not an obsession, but definitely a preference. Although I had a normal life, going to college, dating, etc., the seed was planted. When I graduated, I moved to a city and lived my life just like everyone else.
Complete truth here. One hot August night, I just finished a fantasy football draft at the office of one of my friends. His office was down the street from a strip club I'd heard was very popular. It's a cool place, and having a drink and getting some boobs rubbed in my face sounded like a good idea at the time. I just wanted to relax. So we went down there.
I had been there an hour or so. More accurately 4 drinks. How ever much time that took. I was on a stool at one of the 3 stages, watching Jasmine put on a show. Jasmine can only be described as a sex pot. She oozed sex. Not just that she was stunning for a tiny Asian girl, but she acted like she was on ecstasy.
It was how she flashed her megawatt smile. How she touched every customer in a gentle and familiar way to make it feel more intimate. How she made sure everyone was having fun. Every guy in there wanted her.
I'm not an idiot. I know it's an act. But sometimes you just want to escape reality. I didn't want to think too hard. I didn't want to "look behind the curtain" that night. I just wanted to enjoy the show.
So, when it was my turn, I tipped her a twenty. You won't believe me, but I honestly just appreciated her effort. I'm sure that job can be difficult too, but she made it a blast. Best dancer I've ever seen.
So, how did she respond? Let me tell you again. This is the real story. No bullshit. She faced away from me, and got on her hands and knees. Then she expertly hooked her heels over my shoulders and introduced me to her "business end". Over and over again.
Of course I loved it. I don't know if I lost my balance or she pushed me back too hard, but I fall backwards in my stool, onto the floor with her sitting on my face. Yup, a 92 pound Asian stripper knocked me off my stool.
We were all shocked for a minute, and then the bouncers arrived. One picked her up and made sure she was ok, and the other picked me up by the collar, ready to haul me outside and probably beat the crap out of me.
"No!" Jasmine shouted. "It was my fault. He's good. He's good!"
The bouncer confirmed with her 3 times before he let me go. Even though I wasn't drunk, they cut me off. Jasmine apologized and hung out with me for a few minutes. Likely making sure the bouncers left me alone more than anything else.
It was her turn on the next stage, so she left to go dance. I decided that with my bodyguard occupied, it would be wise to excuse myself for the night and I left.
Seriously, that's the true story of how I met her. There's a small group of guys that can confirm it. I hope none of them are reading this. A week went by, and I couldn't get her out of my mind. I actually got in my car and started to drive down there one night, but stopped myself. It's a strip club. She was just doing her job. Don't be a simp.
So, I went back to my life. A couple more weeks went by, and I got her out of my system. Not out of my memories, but I accepted it for what it was. A fun encounter and a good story.
That's where fate intervened. A freaking pizza hut of all places. I was out with a coworker, eating lunch back when they still had a buffet, when a set of arms wrapped around my waist as I was standing in the line to pay.
"Where did you go?" Jasmine asked me.
I guess the hug was no big deal considering she had literally sat on my face already. We chat for a while. It was weird. I am usually an expert at reading people. It's my superpower, in a way, but I had no idea about her.
She was dressed really sexy and flirted very openly with me, but asked nothing even remotely near a personal question and left without anything that could be construed as a reason to see her again. No number. No "come down to the club". Nothing. Just in case I was blinded by some Asian fetish, I asked the guy I worked with if he thought she was flirting with me.
He said absolutely she was, but he assumed I knew her well and knew how to contact her. When I told him I didn't, he was equally confused.
I wrote if off as a misunderstanding. Maybe she's just really friendly. I don't know. I couldn't read her. I had an audit coming up at work, so I didn't have time to worry about it.
The audit lasted all week, and had to cover all shifts. I was in the quality department, and worked closely with the auditor. That Thursday night, we went to dinner. All my bosses, the auditor and me.
We finished dinner, and walked outside to leave. The auditor asked where he could go for a drink, as he didn't have to get into the plant until 2
nd
shift the next day and was bored.
None of my bosses were keen on going out. My direct boss asked me if I would take him out. He gave me his credit card and said to do whatever he wanted. Make him happy.
So, they left me with the auditor. He told me he really wanted to go to a strip club, and I told him I don't go to those places, but I knew where one was.
I got 2 steps in the door to the club, when I hear a girl shout, "Jason!!!".
Jasmine literally sprints across the club and jumps into my arms, completely blowing my story that I'd never been there before. Most embarrassing moment I can remember.
Jasmine kissed me on the lips and asked where the hell I'd been. Apparently, she thought it was clear that she wanted to see me again.
She understood I was kind of there on business, but she made it clear that I was to come back tomorrow and see her there. She even gave me a coupon to get in free. She held my face and repeated, "Come back here tomorrow night." Like she was talking to a toddler. Then she gave me her gorgeous smile and all was forgiven.
So, she went back to work and I went back to entertaining the auditor. "Do whatever he wants" turned into over a thousand dollars in charges on my boss's card, but we passed the audit at least.
Side note - I overheard a hilarious conversation a month or so later when my boss had to explain the charges to his wife. Mr. McCance, wherever you are, I'm sorry.
Funny how small events can change your life forever. I was asked to join the quality department because I took an SPC class in college. That led me to the audit, and the auditor who talked me into taking him to the strip club. Otherwise, I probably would have never seen Jasmine again.
I did go back the next night. Aside from when she had to dance, she spent the whole night on my lap as we talked. I will add a note here in anticipation of comments. After my first $20 tip, I never gave her a single penny. No, she wasn't trying to get money out of me, so don't assume that.
Her real name is Sam. Short for a really long Asian name. Sam is actually really smart. Totally flaky, but definitely smart. Her bubbly personality wasn't just an act. That is her real personality. She could charm the fur off a grizzle bear.
She told me she wanted to see this movie that had recently come out, and asked if I would go with her the next afternoon. Talk about an ego boost.
Of course I did. Sam is smart, gorgeous and a lot of fun. I wanted to know more about her. It's not that I didn't see the red flags, it's just that I chose to ignore them. Sam seemed like a good time, and I wasn't looking for anything more than that anyway.
So I picked her up for the movie. Looking back, it makes more sense now, but I was a little shocked at her appearance at that time. Yes, she's a stripper, but the skirt she wore was TINY. And the rest of her outfit didn't get any better. She didn't wear a bra, and she was practically hanging out of her halter top. She's got some impressive breasts for a tiny Asian girl.
I like a sexy girl, but this wasn't really appropriate for a movie theater. It isn't just that. Of course guys looked at her, but she made no effort to hide it. She let them look, even encouraging them to look by her movements and body language. It fed her confidence I guess.
We went to a dance club afterwards, and there is no way else to say it. She's wild. She danced with me and with other guys as well, and she openly flirted with them. I didn't say anything, but she acted like nothing was wrong. Like that is normal behavior. She wasn't even that bold at the strip club.
My enthusiasm for our date was tanking at her behavior, but at closing time she told me how much fun she had and that she really enjoyed our date. I thought I was boring her. Guess I was wrong.
I drove her back to her apartment and she invited me up. Do I really need to tell you I accepted? I'm not going to go into great detail here, but she rocked my world. I thought I'd had good sex before that night. I was wrong. There is just no way to fairly describe it. My mind was blown. Her enthusiasm for sex was off the charts.
When we were finally done, she made not too subtle hints that I needed to leave. No problem. I understood that. I asked her when she was off again, and she said Sunday. I learned that she answers questions very literally.
