I was working at this music store for the summer in a big tourist city in the southeast. It was at the time I was young and wanting to party more at nights with my friends. And still have time for band practice after work. I was playing guitar in a local metal band. So of course I wasn't interested in a serious job. I have been attending a college outside of the city, but on the count of it being summer I decided to take the semester off.
I worked the day shift with another girl, her name was Tamika. She was a beautiful black girl about 5'4" with long brown hair, which she kept it up at work. Tamika was in the ages of 19 and she was hot. I have had some interest in he, but I wasn't sure she would go for a white boy like me. So many times I have tried to ask her out as a friend and co-worker, but she would always tell me she had something else to do. So this one night I asked her to come to check out our band, we were playing two sets at a local bar in the city. I let her know it would be a lot of people there. Tamika told me she would think about it.
So that night our band was preparing to do our first set on stage. The bar was full of people and it was dark and full of smoke. So I decided to step outside for some air and to get the smoke out of lungs. My eyes were burning up and tearing because of the smoke. So I walked out the door with my beer in hand. And all of a sudden someone tapped on my shoulder, I turned around with a huge smile. To my surprise it was Tamika and two of her friends. Tamika asked me if I could get her and her friends in the door without a cover charge. She mentions all that she had was enough to drink on. So I led them through the door. I let her know that I had her on the guest list, so even if she didn't see me she would have gotten in.
So we talked for awhile before I joined the band on stage. Hours later we finished our sets and returned to the bar. We spoke to most of our friends and fans at the bar. Then after I did my public relations with the fans and friends. I quickly found Tamika and her friends and we talked for awhile before they had to be on their way. Tamika let me know that our music was her type that she liked, but I made it sound good to her by knowing me.
So the next few days at work Tamika and I would join eachother after work for a drink at the bar. We would just hang out and talk about normal things. This one day a friend of Tamika's came to her at work. Her friend Tasha kept on whispering in Tamika's ear, and I could over hear what she was saying. It sounded like "ask him,come on please ask him" I thought she was trying to get Tamika to ask me to be her man or something, which I was hoping that. So Tamika walked over to me with a blushing look upon her face. Then I looked at her and said, "well come on baby out with it" Tamika said, "well...one of my friends is getting married soon...and we want to throw her a party" Lost in thought I was like so what do you want from me? Tamika asked, "well since you have somewhat of a nice body and you're a friend of mine...I was wondering ummmm...ah forget it" I was like come on Tamika ask away. Tamika then said, " well we can't afford a stripper...and you would be perfect for it" Embarrassed by her question I was like no I don't think I would do a good job at it. Tamika said, "come on honey...I swear I'll make worth your wild" I thought about it for a second and said, "well what the hell...I'll do it, but you know I am white and I cant dance" We all laughed and started to make the plan.
Tamika and her friend were in smiles after my answer. I mean I confess I do work out everyday, but I don't think I'd pass a stripper. I mean I might I have the body for it, but damn I cant dance! Tamika asked me to come over to her apartment so she could she me some moves on how to dance. So for like two hours I was shaking my white ass for her. I joked around and said, "do you want me to strip for you now?" Tamika said, "no I wont that to be a surprise for me" I asked her why her friend wanted a white stripper on the count of her being black. I mean I thought her friend was marrying a black man and she would want a black stripper.
But with my shallow mind and short brain cells that I smoked away would make me miss it. She explained that she was marrying a white man and she wanted a white stripper. I told Tamika that I was nervous because me being white and her other friends being with black men. Tamika hit me on the side of the arm and said, "damn honey are you that insecure?" She explained to me that all black men don't have big dicks, she then said all guys have different sizes and besides size doesn't matter. I mean I let her know I was average size, but with the stereotypes of black men with 12 inches. We both sat and laughed about it.
