Alicia finally making it to her hotel room, exhausted collapsed on the bed. It had been a trying day herding her group of 18-year-olds onto to the train, calming the more boisterous & excited ones on the long journey down -- difficult when for most it was there first visit to London -- then navigating the underground to the hotel. She groaned as she thought of tomorrow's visit to the Science Museum & then the afternoon's attendance at the astronomy lecture.
She was just about to go & have a shower, when the room phone rang. Fuck she exclaimed what the stupid bastards done now, referring to her students. She tentatively picked up the receiver.
"Hello could I speak to Mrs Perkins."
"Hello, speaking, how can I help you?"
"This is the La Campanini, there is a slight problem."
"Sorry, I think you have called the wrong number, who are you, what problem?"
"I do not think so, Mrs Perkins. We are a gentleman's club, here in Soho & I have apparently two of your students who are unable to pay their bill."
"This is a wind-up, my students have just arrived & I checked they are all safely tucked in their rooms,"
"I do not think so, they are standing in front of me now," the caller apparently put his
hand over the speaker speaking to someone else in his room, "Darren Wood & Neil Burns are part of your group I believe."
"Aah, bugger, yes. What have they done?"
"They have spent precisely £567.42 enjoying our services, & someone has to pay or I'll have to call the Police. It needs paying now."
"Bloody hell what they been doing? No don't answer that. What's your address & I will come & sort this out."
Alicia put the phone back, & considered her options. She didn't have remotely anywhere near that amount of money. She was already having difficulties at work. The Vice Principal quite recently had bluntly asked to sleep with her, and when she refused point-blank, he clearly indicated he would refuse any promotion & intimated he would find any excuse to discipline her. She had thought she knew the Principal well enough to complain, she had after all spread her legs for him on their last business trip, but he had callously replied that he couldn't blame the Vice Principal for asking & couldn't understand why she wouldn't. Commenting she was after all a very decent shag & normally seemed happy enough to drop her knickers.
Astounded at the Principal's response, she immediately realised that she needed to move College, but if she was disciplined or even dismissed, she would never stand a chance of getting a position elsewhere. She mulled over these troubling thoughts as she made her way to Campanini. As she entered the club, she thought at least the boys had made a decent choice, as for a strip joint it was perhaps one of the more up-market ones. She was greeted in the reception by a rather large & intimidating bouncer who directed her through the club to a door at the far end.
Although it was early evening, the club was somewhat full with businessmen enjoying some post-work entertainment before either heading home or to their hotel. She had to pass in front of the stage area, where a rather busty brunette was pulling off her G-string to reveal her shaved twat, Alicia almost stopped to watch the show as the knelt on all-fours to present her pink to the appreciative audience. She quickly corrected herself when she overhead a couple of businessmen commenting on her impressive rack & hoped she was on next. Bastards she inwardly through, disgusted at their objectifying of her. She rapidly made her way across to the door, which had staff only marked on it.
Opening the door, she entered a corridor which had a number of rooms off it, these appeared to be an office, changing rooms, a cellar & at the end the Manager's Office. Sitting in the corroder in front of that office sat her two rather sheepish-looking students. She tried to look disdainfully at that them, but couldn't supress a smirk.
"Had an interesting afternoon then boys?" she sarcastically queried them.
Both of them blushed scarlet, grunting unintelligible responses, she knocked on the door & entered without waiting for a response. The office she entered was not untastefully decorated she observed, in contrast to her expectations, even the nudes on the wall had been photographed extremely professionally. She walked toward the middle-aged man seated at the imposing desk & without asking sat in one of the chairs in front of the desk.
"Good evening, Mrs Perkins I presume. I'm Alex, the manager of this establishment. Hope we can settle this matter quickly & amicably."
"Yes, I do hope so. You do realise that Darren &..." but before she could finish, he interrupted her."
"Nice try, but I have already checked & they are both 18, so they are not underage. Now do you have a credit card to pay their bill or do I call the Police?" he asked as her picked up his mobile & started to dial.
Panicking Alicia responded, "Please don't I am sure we can come to some arrangement, please."
"Do you have the money or not? I don't have time for this," he tersely replied."
"No, yes, I can't pay it all now but I could pay part now & the rest by the end of the month."
"No dice. The minute you get those two wankers out of here I have no guarantee that I will ever get paid. This is a business not a kindergarten."
As he looked at the increasingly distressed woman sitting in front of him, he realised that despite being a Mrs, she could only be in early to mid-twenties & rather than a dowdy schoolmistress was actually quite attractive indeed if not very pretty. He looked her up & down but it was difficult to appraise how good the body was underneath her heavy overcoat, although the legs crossed in front of him were decent. Alicia was beginning to feel very uncomfortable, vulnerable even as she tried to bargain with a man she assumed usually regarded women as a set of tits, pussy & arse to be commodified & exploited. He returned to evaluate her face, she did have lovely blue eyes & he always had a penchant for blondes especially those with long wavy hair, although this one had her hair done up in a bun.
"Please I promise we can come up with an arrangement to pay."
"You can pay or we may be able to agree an alternative arrangement or I call the cops but probably after my bouncers have had a strenuous chat with them. Your choice."
"As I said I can't pay immediately but please can we agree something you'd be happy with & not call the Police."
She was trapped if he called the Police, she would probably lose her job & any chance of a similar one given that students in her charge had been found in a seedy strip club. She was lost in her thoughts when he was brought back to reality.
"Can you stand up please."
In a daze, she replied "Sorry, I didn't hear you properly."
"I said stand up & while you're at it lose the coat,"
"You want me to....."
"Now, bitch," he barked interrupting her.
Shocked she jumped up & instinctively started to unbutton her coat, letting it drop to the floor. He was impressed, she was revealed to be wearing a smart business suit skirt, cut just above the knees which allowed her very shapely legs to be displayed but it was above the waist that was truly impressive. Obviously, she had rushed here & had forgotten to put on her business jacket & she was simply dressed in a plain white shirt. The shirt however was vainly struggling to contain a very large pair of breasts.
"Fucking hell, that's a stupendous rack. Spin around let's if your arse is as good as your tits."
Blushing deeply, she was disgusted with herself responding so meekly to his crude instruction.
"Now that's an arse to eat. Look if it was down to me, I would be happy to let you pay in stages," he lied, "but the owner demands the books balance at the end of each night." Which was true as he was the owner.
"So, if you can't pay, have you ever danced?"
"Yes, I was in the University drama club. Why?" she naively questioned.
"Not quite what I was thinking, but look it's still early evening & the club usually closes about 3 in the morning. Most of my girls clear above £300-£400 a night & if you let me fuck me before you leave, happy to chuck in £100 personally. That would close the bill & you might even take some cash home."
