Of all the fuckn stripclubs in the area.. this guy just had to walk into mine.

I didn't know what to say.

And I don't think he did either cus he rushed past me to follow his friends out the door.

He acted like he didn't see me.

Now I shouldve just let him leave like that. Act like that never happened too but ya girl couldn't do that.

I went after him. I asked the security guy at the door for his jacket cus now i felt alittle exposed. He handed it to me and asked if I needed him to accompany me but it wasn't that type of situation.

Outside the club wasnt packed.. there was no line to get in or anything that night but loitering in front of the club at 10 pm is a thing for some reason. They won't pay to go in but they'll stand around for hours literally doing nothing. I really don't know why these men like to stand around out there but they dont really bother anyone and they scatter when the police drive by.

I looked in both directions to see which way he went. I noticed him walking fast, trying to catch up to his friends that were waiting at the corner to cross the street.

I called after him.
He ignored me.

I shouldve went back inside... I did consider it but I couldn't let the kid walk away.

I caught up to him before he crossed the street and stood beside him hoping he wouldnt blow me off. He didnt turn to look at me but he knew I was there.

"Eli.. can we talk for a minute?"

It was their turn to cross. But he turned to his friends and told them to go on without him. "I'll catch up."

They crossed the street making jokes but he ignored them.

He finally turned to look at me again. And I instantly regretted everything.

I didn't think this far ahead.
In fact I didn't think this shit out at all.
He left the club in a hurry for a reason.

He tried to avoid looking at the outfit. Which like I said wasn't as revealing as other outfits I've worn to work. But ya girl was showing alot of leg.

"You dont have to talk to me if you dont want to." I thought maybe he would take me up on that & just walk away, we could forget this ever happened.

"Its alittle too late for that, no?"

Not really. He could walk away & I won't follow him anymore.

"I just wanted to--." I guess say hi? Idk what the fuck I wanted to say. This wasn't about him, I wanted to ask about his dad.. that was it.. but now that I was standing alone with him on the sidewalk, I realized it was probably really stupid of me to go after him like this.

"I really thought I knew what to say.."

He sighed and took his phone out of his pocket to silence a call.

"Soo... you work in the club?"

"Uh.. yeah. Part time. Please don't tell your dad you saw me here tonight." I would hate for him to show up there.. even tho that was highly unlikely.. but you never know. Roman was always doing shit like that.

And I'm pretty convinced he reached out through email. Like he wanted to talk or something. So if he knew where to find me.. he might do something crazy like show up one night.

"I don't think I ever wanna tell him about this." Well then I got nothing to worry about, right... "I don't think he would even believe it. Have you always worked here?"
