I'm not a Pole Dancer. I am a Performer.

There's a First Time for Everything.

I checked my makeup in my small compact mirror for the last time before being practically dragged out of Kyle's car by Bambi. To be honest, Bambi had piled on the makeup a bit much so I looked like a slut. A sexy slut but still a slut. My mini black dress didn't help much either. At least I didn't look as bad as Bambi who had taken almost naked to the next extreme. 

"Hurry up hon, I'm on in a minute!" Bambi moaned as she dragged me towards Club Kitty. I've never heard or seen it before and it's only a 8 minute walk from Kyle's. No wonder Sam wanted to live with him. Since Bambi worked here we got to go in the back entrance, so that's how we all ended up in a tornado of feathers, glitter and makeup. There was a crowd of dancers pushing through, some of them half naked! Kyle and Sam were quite happy to stand there, their mouths wide open. I gave Kyle a punch and he seemed to jump from his trance.

"Sorry babe, I was just...hey let's go find a seat" Kyle babbled, his cheeks red. 

"Get one close to the stage, don't worry I'm on next. Wish me luck!" Bambi squeled as she got changed into a itty bitty sexy police outfit, in front of everyone. It was a bit too mad backstage but things got worse when we sat down. The room was full of half drunk men, with cheap suits on and the most vile look on their faces. Suddenly the music started and out popped Bambi looking fierce. She grabbed hold of the pole in the middle of the stage and she started to grind up against it in time to the music. Some lads in the room were whooping and cheering as loud as they could, while spilling beer down them. I felt embarresed for her. But to be honest, she did look graceful like a dancer, and it probably took her some time to learn all those moves.

"I got you a vodka and coke. I know how you like those" Sam winked at me while handing me my drink. I could feel a load of eyes staring at me, so I just kept on drinking. I just wanted the night to be over. Then I thought of my dad and I drank some more. And even more. As Bambi's song was nearing it's big finish, Kyle grabbed my hand.

"Do you want to slow down Brook?" Kyle laughed, not taking his eyes off Bambi who was now holding herself up by her arms on the pole. She must be strong. 

"That...that looks ffffucking easy...that does" I stammered, trying to think straight. My head was spinning and all I can remember is the music stopping and a hand reaching towards me and pulling me onto the stage. Yep, she definitley had strong arms. I struggled to stand up straight.

"Now listen here, we got a special treat for you all tonight! You see my friend here? She's going to show you a few moves and show you a good time!" Bambi shouted above the cheering. Shit. I wasn't dancing and that was the end of it. I can't remember much of what happened next, but I remember the music starting and Bambi sitting in my seat. I looked at her with pleading eyes, telling her to get me off this stage, pronto. I saw Kyle looking at me with pleading eyes too. Oh god. I was just stood there frozen like a deer caught in headlights. I could hear people booing me. This had to be the most embarrising moment of my life.

"Move your hips a little! Go on, just dance!" Bambi yelled, cheering me on. I'm going to kill her.

"Come on sexy, show us what you got!" one of the lads, probably on a stag do, shouted. I had to do something. So I closed me eyes, took a deep breath and moved to the music. Everyone cheered. I felt a rush of adrenaline and decided to just let loose. Fuck it, I was drunk! So I spun round on the pole, grinding and moving like Bambi did. The cheers got louder until I felt like I was on a high. People had never cheered for me before. Even at the parties I go to, everyone would usually laugh at me as I stumbled helplessley around the floor, but now they were cheering for me!

"You go girl! That was AMAZING!" Bambi screamed about the cheering as she dragged me backstage with Kyle and Sam. 

"I didn't know you could be so freaking hot!" Sam cheered as we stood by Bambi's clothes rail. Kyle gave him a dirty look but smiled at me anyway.

"You were awesome babe" Kyle exclaimed, grabbing my hand. As I tried to reply, I lost my balance and fell right into his arms. Sam laughed.

"You better take her home before she has an accident! I'm staying here with Bambi so we'll be back at the flat about 3" Sam decided. After we went our seperate ways, Kyle carried me to his car and drove us back to his flat. I had to get out to be sick a few times, but Kyle just laughed and helped me clean up. I was in such a mess. Everything that had just happened was a blur, but a good blue. When we got back, Kyle carried me up to the flat, even though I told him I was fine. As we burst through the door of his flat, we both laughed uncontrollably. I looked in his eyes and remembered the moment I first saw them and fell in love with them. 

"You were really sexy out there tonight. Honestly" Kyle spoke, his voice gone all husky. 

"Really? It was actually really fun! I want to do it again!" I laughed.

"Maybe another night. You know, we have the flat to ourselves..." Kyle whispered as he put me down and put his hands around my waist.

"Oh Mr Donovan, I thought you would never ask" I teased him as we raced to Kyle's bed. I guess he really did enjoy my little performance tonight. We made love three times that night.
