Back To You

Happy Birthday

Hiraeth Davenport

I watched in shock as Malakai stood on a stage. She was dressed up as a police officer. Although, her attire was something most officers wouldn't wear.

She wore tight and very short shorts that barely covered her butt. Black fishnet stockings squeezed her thighs, and she was elevated by black stiletto boots.

"She has nice boobs," Wynn said.

I looked at the upper half of Malakai. Her breasts were uplifted and hugged by a blue shirt with various badges on it.

I watched as Malakai circled around the pole earning hoots and hollers from drunk men. She grabbed onto the pole and lifted herself up. Her legs were cocked open as she spun.

"I'm so telling everyone at school," Wynn whispered in my ear. I pushed her away, the trance I was in was disrupted.

"You can't tell anyone," I told Wynn.

"We should probably leave," Jamie said.

"It was your idea."

I turned my attention back to Malakai. The floor was decorated with some cash and I felt bad that I didn't give her any. I stood up but Wynn pulled me back down.

"Easy there, Tiger. If you go up there she'll probably get embarrassed and fall on her pretty little head." She had a point. I sat down. "Talk to her after the show."

I nodded and watched as Malakai danced. I bit my lip when she started removing her top. "I have to use the bathroom."

"Have fun puking." Wynn snorted.

I darted to the bathroom. Well it took me a while but I eventually found it, my thoughts were a bit clouded. I stared at myself in the mirror giving myself a mental pep-talk. I had no idea why I was feeling like that or even watching Malakai like that. I mean I knew that I liked her but... I liked her physically too?

She was so enticing.

I decided I would call it a night and go home. I went back to tell the girls that but Wynn was talking to some random guy. And Jamie was talking to a stripper who seemed to be about thirty.

I sat down waiting for my friends to be done with the things they were doing. Claire came back with a friend trailing behind her. I was surprised she actually came back.

"Hiraeth this is my friend Luxurious you might have seen her on the pole." Claire stepped aside to reveal Malakai. Malakai's eyes practically popped out of her head. She whispered something to Claire who apologized to both of us and scurried off.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Malakai crossed her arms. I maintained eye contact with her, making sure I didn't look over her body again.

I shrugged. "Enjoying my eighteenth birthday... what are you doing here?"

"Working." She said. I pointed to the empty spot next to me. She shook her head. "It's a Friday and I'm getting paid-"

"Spare me a few minutes. Please?" I was delighted when she sighed and took a seat next to me.

"You and your friends can't say a word about this. I can't have this going around school." Malakai said.

"Our lips are sealed," I assured her.

She looked at Wynn who was now taking shots with a stranger. "Even Wynn's?"

"I promise." I nodded.

Malakai raised an eyebrow. "She hates me, why wouldn't she tell everyone?"

I rolled my eyes. "I'll ask her to keep it a secret. She'll listen to me if I promise her a favor."

"Go ahead and ask." Malakai sighed.

I didn't even know that I wanted to ask the question until it came rolling off of my tongue. "Why'd you lie to me?"

She kissed her teeth with a confused look on her face. "Why would I tell you the truth? I haven't even told my mother. Why would I confide in you of all people?"

I found her words hurtful but I realized she was just scared. "Malakai calm down. You don't need to be mean and have your guard up. I'm not judging you." I told her softly.

Her face softened and her body relaxed. "Stop calling me Malakai. I go by Luxurious, Lux for short."

I laughed. "You took my suggestion into consideration? I thought it was corny."

"Everything is corny." She quoted something I said years ago. "I have to get back to work. Have a good time Hiraeth." She stood up.

I grabbed her hand. "Actually, Lux, I believe you owe me a present or something?"

"And what would you like?" Malakai looked confused.

I spoke before I lost my courage. "A private lap dance." Malakai laughed before realizing that I was serious.

She ripped her hand away from me and crossed her arms. "You only get one song. I have to dance for other people."

"That's fine by me." I nodded.

Malakai led me to a nicely lit-up room. It had a booth leaned up against a wall. It was nearly empty except for a jukebox.

I felt incredibly nervous.

I took a seat while Malakai set the music. I fiddled with my hands in my lap.

"Relax your mind and body, Hiraeth." Malakai lifted up my face with her hand.

"I'm a little nervous," I admitted. Malakai wedged her knee in between my legs causing them to open.

"Oh, now you're nervous?" She laughed. She leaned down and whispered in my ear. "Do I make you nervous Hiraeth?"

I felt a tingle somewhere. "Yes."

"And why is that?" She teased.

"I'm not sure," I said softly.

"Don't worry, I'll be really gentle. I know it's your first time." Pardon? Malakai pulled back and stood in front of me. I shamefully let my eyes wander.

Even though I wasn't particularly turned on by cops, this one was an exception. I mentally kicked myself as I realized I was sexualizing my former best friend.

Malakai slowly unbuttoned her top, leaving her chest and stomach exposed. I avoided staring at her boobs which were barely covered by the purple bra she wore.

Instead, I watched as she slowly ran her hand down her stomach and to the hem of her pants. She unbuttoned her shorts and my eyes shot up to her lips.

Malakai climbed onto my lap straddling me. One hand gripped the top of the couch and the other pulled down one strap of her bra. Her hips moved in circles and I stifled a noise that threatened to slip past my lips.

I was simply appreciating the dance that my classmate was giving me for my birthday. There was nothing more to it... so why did I want her to get completely naked?

I had no idea I was even touching Malakai until I felt my hand make contact with her lower back. Fuck, was I about to touch her ass? Embarrassed, I removed my head and looked away.

Malakai laughed and grabbed my face to make me look at her. She maintained eye contact with me as she grabbed my hand and placed it where it was before. "Usually you're not allowed to touch the strippers, but I'll make an exception."

"Malakai..." I looked into her eyes. I gripped her waist and stopped her from moving. Malakai looked at my lips and kissed me.

I closed my eyes and tensed up a bit. I melted once Malakai held my face and ran her tongue across my bottom lip. I opened my mouth and let her slide her tongue in.

I became increasingly aware of how soft her lips were. I couldn't help but whine as she pulled away.

"Happy Birthday, Hiraeth," Malakai said with a smile as she climbed off of me and left.

What the fuck?
