Student Stripper - e.d

Ethan

I got out of the car & walked graciously towards the house in front of me. It was a run down little house in the suburbs with a rusty gate & a sorta green garden. I went pass the gate & stood in front of the door with peeling white paint.

"Here it goes," I exhaled & lightly pounded my fist against the door. I waited anxiously for someone to answer. The door was opened & I saw a very short girl with short hair & a nose ring.

"Oh um hi," she greeted me & flipped her hair unsuccessfully because it was short.

"Hey, are you Alicia Blake?" I asked.

"Yeah. That's me," she nodded enthusiastically, "who are you?"

"I'm Ethan Dolan. Dominique's boyfriend," I introduced myself.

"Oh wow. I've heard a lot about you," she chuckled, "come in."

I stepped inside & she closed the door behind me.

"That's good. Um listen, Dominique has been missing for a couple of days now & I was wondering if you've seen her around?" I asked as I sat down on the couch. She sat down next to me & real close.

"Oh my gosh. I've heard she's gone missing. We're all very concerned at the club," she sulked, "she's a stripper. You know that right?"

"Yeah I know & I still wanna be with her. & I care about her that's why I'm here," I said.

"Aw, we really need guys like you in the world," she stroked my cheek & smiled. I smiled back even though I was uncomfortable.

"Well I went down to the club the other day to ask around & I came across Max. He told me you told him that you caught Dom leaving the club saying something like she couldn't do this anymore. Is this true?" I interrogated.

"Oh? Was that on the night she disappeared? She says this like three times a week so I can't remember when," she shrugged & shifted closer to me.

"Well I really need you to remember," I muttered.

"I think she just left. Didn't warn anybody or anything," she shrugged & put her hands on my chest, "but forget her for a second. Let's talk about you," she ran her hands up & down my chest & looked at me.

"I heard you & her don't quite get along," I tried to stay professional, slowly lifting her hands off my chest.

"Well she isn't my favourite person in the world but I would never do anything to eliminate her. I mean, I don't think I have the mental capacity to do that. My husband tells me this all the time," she chuckled sadly.

"Oh you're married?" I asked.

"What?" she looked at me in puzzlement.

"You just said husband," I quoted.

"I meant friends. Wow sorry silly me. I think I need a drink," she chuckled & stood up, "would you like a drink Ethan?"

"Just water please," I uttered nervously.

"Alright," she put a big smile on her face & left.

She was awfully suspicious. I just didn't know when I was gonna bust her. Expose her with all the emails & texts she's been sending the people that have kidnapped Dom. I just wanted to be cool. Wanted to gain her trust before I shat all over it.

She came back with a glass of Brandy & a glass of water.

"What's up with strippers & Brandy?" I thought.

"Thank you," I said & took the glass. She sat next to me & looked at me as she drank her Brandy.

I took a large sip of my water & suddenly things started to appear hazy. Everything was slowly fading away. Lifting up then dropping. I started to hyperventilate as my vision began to subside.

"What's going on?" I slurred. I tried to stand up but then I was suddenly pushed back onto the couch. Alicia was on top of me this time & I felt something cold & sloppy on my lips. It was hers.

Things started to turn black & my body began numb. I couldn't move. I just heard a faint giggle & the words. The words Dominique would say to me before we had sex.

"You're in for the ride of your life baby boy,"
