Yesterday was a high pressure day to say the least. It was the first day of being a business owner. I had gone in as a partner with my best friend Don Martin. He had somehow convinced me to help him start up a business called Party on Wheels. It was pretty much just us and a big fancy party bus that we used to shuttle well to do's around. I was scared shitless, because after startup costs, I was up to my eyeballs in debt. Don had a similar business in the neighboring state and he said it was all easy sailing from here on out. I'd be my own boss, make lots of money, and the sky is the limit. My wife Amy was in her first year of medical school (we love debt), and I'd thought long and hard about what would happen if the business failed. My fingernails took the brunt of my nervousness for the past several months. Still, Amy was supportive, and told me to go big or go home.
Don had called me the weekend before all out of breath. He had snared what he called a Midas client. He said if we impressed this guy, we were set. "He knows people that shit hundred dollar bills dude!" He said. I'm a pessimist, so of course I wasn't thinking about what happens if we knock it out of the park. I was thinking about what happens if something goes wrong and this guy hates us. Don did his best to calm me down. He told me it's a bachelor party for this fat cat's son and seven of his friends. He's ordering the works Jim (that's me). He's booked the bus for four hours. He wants a fully stocked bar, DJ, lots of porn, and a stripper. Don went on to brag about how it was all his idea we had a stripper pole put in the party bus. It sounded good to me. This kind of party was going to take care of my cash problems for a while, and if we did it right, this guy tells his friends... and the rest is history.
The morning started up like clockwork. I was up and ready by nine. I got the bus gassed up and went over everything with a fine toothed comb. The sound system sounded awesome. I made sure we had at least two of everything behind the bar. The DJ texted me and said he'd be there around seven tonight. I called the escort service and double checked on the stripper. They assured me everything was taken care of. The girl was one of their best. She was very experienced, and had worked hundreds of fancy parties. Her reviews were all five star. As I went about checking everything on the bus Amy came outside to see what I was doing. She was wearing a little strapless sundress with her hair in a pony tail. Even without any makeup she looked absolutely gorgeous. Just to give a little info on my wife. She's my pride and joy. I don't know how I lucked up with her, but I thank my stars everyday that I did. She's a natural blonde with long straight hair that she parts on the side. She's got bright green eyes and full pink lips. Her breasts are about as near to perfect as I've ever seen. But her best feature to me is her ass and legs. She told me she got them from all the dance classes she took growing up. However she got them is fine with me. "Hey babe, how's it coming?" She asked.
I told her that everything was going fine. I had a dozen or so irons on the fire, but I was confident I'd pull it off. We talked a bit and I walked her through the bus and showed off everything. She seemed impressed. If she was as nervous as I was, she did a good job of hiding it.
The rest of the day went by quite normally until around five. Don called me and when I answered, I knew something was wrong. "Don't panic dude. It's all under control." He said. It turns out the bus driver came down with food poisoning and had to cancel on us. I was just about to freak out when Don reminded me that I had a CDL (commercial driver's license) and could take the wheel if needed. I calmed down and after a few more minutes of pep talk from Don, I still had most of my confidence. I went inside and filled Amy in. She felt sorry for me and made me a quick dinner, which I inhaled. I tried my best to relax, so I watched some TV for a while. At about six thirty I was feeling anxious so I decided to get my ducks in a row. I got dressed and sent a text to DJ. He sent one right back saying he was just about to head my way. I breathed a sigh of relief and decided to call the escort service. They nice lady on the phone said that the girl had just confirmed the address and was on her way.
Amy came into the room and must've known I was really nervous. She poured us both a stiff drink. We laughed and fooled around a little as the alcohol did its best to calm my nerves. At five after seven my phone rang. I looked down and noticed it was the escort service. I don't know how, but I got an immediate knot in my stomach. Amy was still laughing when she saw my face drop. I shushed her and answered the phone. The nice lady from the escort service was sorry to inform me that there had been an accident. The girl who was contracted had just been in a car wreck. She was going to be ok but she'd broken her leg. They were very sorry and could have me a replacement in a few hours. I calmly thanked her and told her that it wouldn't be necessary. By then, I would be ruined.
My heart started to race and my head was pounding. Amy took my hand and asked what happened. I told her, and she kind of just sat there in shock. She knew that a bachelor party without a stripper is not going to go over well with my client. It looked like we were sunk even before we started. I was just about to call Don and tell him the news when Amy got up and ran into the bathroom. I heard the shower start and had to know what she was doing at a time like this. "What the hell are you doing?" I shouted.
"You need a stripper, and you're going to have one." She said through the door.
It took me a second to realize what she was saying. I didn't know how to respond. I didn't want my wife to take her clothes off for a bunch of strangers, but on the other hand, it was a fucking brilliant idea. It might just save our asses. "Amy, you don't have to do this. You do know what happens at a bachelor party right?"
"Sure, a bunch of guys get drunk, and the groom gets a lap dance. I'm no expert, but I think I can shake my ass for a few minutes, if that's what it takes to save our livelihood." She said.
