Now That I Know The Truth, You're Not Real Chapter 13

Chapter 13

I came back into the bathroom with my Ipod and blinking strobe light thingy. I set up the strobe on the sink, by the door, and hooked the Ipod up to its home that stood against the wall. I was extremely nervous, a part of me wanted to back out of this. He hadn’t actually expected me to agree so why not. I could have backed out. I didn’t think he would be . . . no, he would be a little upset, but I was sure he would get over it. But then where was the satisfaction in that. The daring feelings he brought out in me were resurfaced with a new found passion. I wanted to do this for him. I couldn’t fathom why, but I wanted to please him; make him want me; make him yearn for my touch, the way I had been yearning for his touch today.

I scrolled to my selected song, turned the volumes of the Ipod and the iHome all the way up, walked over to the door, closed it, let my hair down, turned the strobe on the second fastest setting, and then shut the light off. My nerves kicked into overdrive, and once again my conscience came and asked me what I was doing, more like screamed what was I doing? But I blocked out my fears and stood taller as I tried to ignore the pulsing behind my eyes as the strobe blinked on and off quickly off to my side.

Oh my Gawd, this is going to make me so dizzy, I thought as I walked over to Avory and stood before of him.

“No funny business,” I chided, pointing an accusatory finger at him. He smiled as he shot his hands up before him and then slid them behind his back.

“So, you ready?” I asked a bit nervously. I had never in my life done something like this. Even with Ansis, my ex-boyfriend, whom I pushed out of my mind because I didn’t want to think about at a time like this. This new me screamed for me to take the risk, because he was worth it. I had a very large feeling Avory was bringing about this change in me. This wild but controlled side of me.

He smiled and nodded furiously.

Oh my Gawd this is going to be so embarrassing. I thought as I turned slightly away from him and pushed the play button. Through the immense sound the speakers produced, in the room, out poured the lyrics to Danity Kane’s “Striptease”.

I quickly, and suavely, stroked down my abdomen with the sound of a satisfied sigh, at the beginning of the song. Then I did exactly as Aubrey and D Woods commanded,

Shoulders down, (leg out)

Bend over, (lips pout)

Bat eyes, (show thighs)

Lift ‘em up, (don’t touch)

As I did this, Avory seemed highly amused with my choice of song, and my movements. While I, on the other hand, felt awkward beyond belief. However, I was determined to hide it.

I forced myself in a matter of seconds to pretend that I wasn’t in fact giving Avory a lap dance/ strip tease, but was actually at a sleep over party, and dared to do a dirty dance in front of a bunch of my closest girl friends. With this anti-pessimistic thought I was quickly able to recover from my fear and continue.

I found myself swaying my hips just above Avory in a rhythmic pattern as Shannon finished her verse with “exteri- iri- irior.”

As Aubrey began her verse I stepped away from him and felt my shirt rise. Oh yeah, this is a strip tease too. I thought to myself and slid my hands through the two front belt loops of my jeans, and pulled them out and down slightly, while I arched my back and shifted my weight to my right leg, showing the upper hemline of my underwear. I then rolled my stomach back so I was standing up straight.
