4 pm at last. Lily had been working for 8 hours straight that day, exploring every type of human mouth. She wave goodbye to her last patient that day, an eighty- year old man whose surprisingly still having all of his teeth.
Looking out the window, Lily find herself still feels awe while looking at the giant city of Ripsep even though she had live there for a month now. All the skyscrapers, the expensive looking vehicles, and the city itself, always alive 24/7. At her hometown, everything went completely quiet as early as 8 p.m.
A few months ago, Lily can't believe her luck when her uncle who she never met, who is also a dentist himself asked Lily to come to work at his clinic in Ripsep. Lily who already working at the town local hospital without a second thought accepts her uncle's proposition. First of all, she feels bored with live at her small town and besides, her uncle promise her triple salary.
So, here she is now. Alone in a big city, riding a public bus from home to work and back again, enjoying the sceneries before her very eyes. Her uncle and aunt had asked her to live with them in their mansion but she politely declined.
At the age of 27, she believes that she will be able to take care of herself. Besides, she wants to be free to do whatever she wants. She had had enough while living with her mother when she still working at the hospital in her hometown. Her mother treated her like a small child where she's not even allowed to went to the bar and have a drink with her co-worker after work.
She arrived at her small but comfortable one room apartment after 30 minutes bus ride. Once inside, she throws away her bag, takes off her clothes, and takes a very long shower. She realizes that she took 1 hour in the bathroom.
While laze around in the living room, watching cartoons, Lily suddenly feels bored. She don't have friends to hang out. Most of the other dentists are quiet old to be her friend and do fun things. The nurses, they are all married with children. A good mother and father who love to spend time with their children at night.
"Hmm, I don't have friends. Maybe I should go out and make friends," Lily said to herself while suddenly stand up.
Lily went into to her room, pick up her phone on the bed and turn on her GPS. She's looking for the nearest bar to her apartment.
"Club Clementine, The Ladies' Club. Hmm. The nearest one but still take 30 minutes by car," said Lily.
She's worried that she will not be able to get a ride home late at night, but at last, still decided to go anyway. She will just stay or few hours and then get home before taxis end their services that night.
From that name, she knows what kind of club is that. But she is no stranger to that kind of lifestyle. Even though she never have special someone in her live, never experimented with the normal way and all, she always know that this is what she wants.
Rather than queer people or most normal who like to experiment with different people and all, to try and test, Lily definitely not liked that. She wants to find the one. Despite her abnormal desire, she still has this old fashion ways of thinking.
Wearing her polka- dot peach chiffon dress and a pair of high heels, Lily feels ready to have fun that night. Checking her long brown wavy hair for one last time in the mirror, Lily practically running out from her apartment to get to the taxi that had been waiting for her outside.
That night, the traffic seems clear, so the taxi was able to arrive 10 minutes sooner at the club.
That club looks like an old castle with modern painting. It has two towers made up of pink and purple bricks. In between of the towers, it wrote 'Club Clementine'.
Just below the roof, there are two pink giant roman poles.
Stepping out from the taxi, she did not know what to expect from this club. Not that she had never been to a night club before. During her college years, she visits night club almost every week with her group of friends. But tonight, she is all alone and it makes her feels some kind of nervous.
After queuing, it's finally Lily's turn.
The person who was in charge of the entrance is a very handsome young butch. Maybe around Lily's age. She is quiet tall, about 5" 5". She's wearing blue baseball jacket, tight black jeans and a pair of brown biker boots and half tie her shoulder length brown hair.
"Hello, there. Alone?" asked that handsome butch while looking at Lily with her brown eyes that match her hair.
"Yes," reply Lily.
"First time here? I'm sure I will never forget a cute femme like you," said that pretty butch , jokingly flirting with Lily.
"I am. I'm still new to this city," said Lily slightly blush being called cute.
"You are lucky to come here in this specific night. Today we have dance show by a few hot ladies," said that soft butch and give Lily a cute wink.
After showing her ID and made entrance payment, Lily make her way inside.
That place is enormous, not like a regular night club. It seems like you can fit the whole stadium in it and you might lost in the sea of people who keep dancing on the dance floor in middle of the club. With the big stage, Club Clementine looks like a combination of school hall, theater and night club.
Because she comes alone, Lily never bothered to find a table. Instead, she just settled down in one of the empty seat at the bar.
"Hello, again, cutie," said a familiar androgynous voice.
Looking up, she realizes that it was the same handsome butch at the entrance.
"I thought you work at the entrance?" asked Lily, surprised.
"Yeah, I work at the entrance, at the bar, in the toilet, underground. You name it. I even run this place," said that masculine looking woman.
"Oh, so you are the owner?" asked Lily. Coming to the club, she never expects to find the owner. Never in her life she met the owner of even her favorite club. But now, she's talking to the exclusive looking club owner.
"Uh- huh. Me and my business partner," said that handsome woman again."I'm Jay by the way. Shorten for Jamie-Jane Bauer".
"Hi, Jay. I'm Lily, Lily Cole," said Lily.
"So, Lily, what can I get you?" asked Jay.
"A glass of milk, please," said Lily.
Jay burst out laughing real hard. Lily doesn't seem to be surprise by this.
"I have this disease where my body can't tolerate alcohol. I will get sick," said Lily.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. Wait here," she apologized but doesn't look sorry actually.
Jay went inside some small door behind the bar and come back a few minutes later with a glass of milk. Following her, a big breasted woman saying something in French.
"Here you go, baby girl. It comes fresh from here," said Jay while suddenly cupping that busty woman's breast. Lily almost choked on her own saliva.
"Or maybe you want it even fresher? What do you say?" said Jay again while moves her brown eye brow up and down quickly. The busty woman seems oblivious to Jay's assault to her breast and busy talking to her phone.
"Not funny, Jay," said Lily while glaring at Jay.
