"Come on, Clem! You only turn 21 once and you're going out with us! Plus, we have a surprise for you."

I rolled my eyes at Michonne's insistence and let myself be dragged to her car. They already put me in a skintight dress and some red pumps to match. They being the girls who find it necessary that I go out and get fucked up for my birthday. The girls are Michonne, Kate, Carol, Beth, and Maggie. They're my only friends that I trust and have fun with so, I let them lead me away to wherever they plan.

Now that I think about, this was probably a bad idea. Fuck it.

We go to numerous bars and dance the night away. Beth is hammered by the fifth bar and I'm not far behind. The others are semi-drunk but, still going strong. We were now in a dive bar and eating some food to recharge and go out again. All the liquor was quickly running through me and I stood up from our table.

"I'm going to ladies' room to relieve myself and then we'll get back out there."

There's a murmur of agreement from them before they go back to their food. I walk on wobbly legs to the bathroom and pray to God that I make it there before I piss my pants. I barge through the door and rush towards the toilet and slam the stall door shut. I let out a sigh as I relieve myself and finish up before going to wash my hands. I reach for some soap and catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror.

"Holy shit."

I didn't look at myself after they dolled me up and looking at my reflection now, I probably should have. Black eyeshadow covers my eyelids, giving me a seductive look. My hair is curled loosely and falls softly around my face. My lips are painted with blood red lipstick and I'm left thinking one thing.

I look fucking hot

There's a swagger in my walk as I make my way back to the girls. Most of them are on their phones and playing on them. There's a lump in my throat as I think about my ex, Luke. He dumped me a couple days ago for some dumb bitch named Jane. He said that I didn't deserve him and that I was ugly. I know he was lying and just being rude but, it still hurt. I start becoming depressed and the girls pick up on my downing mood. They immediately put their phones down and give me a smile. Maggie gets up from her seat and gives me a sly look.

"We have one more place to go and it's your birthday present."

My eyes light up at the thought of a present and I'm excited to see what it is. We call a taxi and Maggie slips the driver an address and then we're off. I turn to Beth to try and coax her out of a hint on what it could be.

"So, is it something I'll like? Maybe an animal?"

A devious smirk appears on Beth's face as she answers.

"I'm sure you'll like it and it can be an animal.....if you ask nicely."

I'm left wondering what she could mean as we arrive at our destination. I thank the driver and step out to face whatever they have planned. My eyebrows scrunch together as I read the glowing green neon sign.

The Bone Yard

The girls giggle at my confused face and lead me inside. As the door opens, music is thumping and the air is thick. When my eyes spot a stage with a pole on it, I realize where I'm at.

A fucking strip club! They brought me to a strip club!

The girls latch on to me and make our way to the stage where some Asian guy in a speedo is working the crowd for tips. I roll my eyes at Maggie as she practically drills over him and stand next to the girls as more guys come out on the stage. It's like each of the guys where matched with all of us. Well, all except for me that is. I sneak away from the stage and head to the bar to drown my sorrows.

I'm on shot six when I hear a bunch of giggles come from behind me. I feel arms wrap around me and I know it's Michonne.

"Your present is ready, Clem. It's behind the door and down the hall."

By now the shots have kicked in and I'm fearless. I head straight down the hall and into the room without hesitation. The room is kind of dark and has a chair in the middle of it. There is also another door and before I can walk towards it, it opens. My jaw literally drops as a man steps out. He is around 6'2 and built like a god. His skin is tan and looks smooth. He's only wearing a pair of tight blue jeans that hug him in all the right ways. His bare stomach is lined with muscles and I feel my hands twitch, wanting to touch his six pack of abs. His eyes twinkle as he sees my reaction to him and slowly approaches me.

"So, you must be Clementine? The birthday girl?"

His voice is smooth like honey and makes my heart race. I nod my head at his questions and he gives me a smile.

"Well, Clementine, I'm Gabe and I'm your birthday present."

My face must be so red because it feels like it's on fire. I start shaking my head and stepping back.

"Nonononono. You don't have to. I really don't need anything or want anything, really."

Gabe gives me another reassuring smile before walking towards me and sitting me down in the single chair. I faintly smell his sexy cologne and relax in my seat. He leaves and I hear the sound of soft and erotic music start. My eyes widen when I realize he's going to give me a lap dance and start freaking out.

"WAIT! No, turn off the music. I can't do this."

Gabe frowns slightly before turning off the music and kneels in front of me. He places a hand on my knee and electricity runs through me.

"They told me, you know. About your ex and what he said to you. I just want to tell you that you're beautiful just the way you are and HE didn't deserve YOU."

I don't know if it was the alcohol in my system or the confidence I got from his compliments but, I had to taste him. I slammed my lips on his and wrapped my arms around his neck to get closer. Gabe seemed hesitant at first but, gave in to my advances and kissed me back. I'm lost in the taste of his minty fresh breathe before realizing what I'm doing.

Jesus Christ, I'm making out with a stripper.

I pull back harshly and stand from my chair. Gabe seemed a little dazed from our kiss and I crack a smile at that. I clear my throat and to get his attention and his dark brown eyes lock on mine.

"Thank you. Gabe. For the compliments and the uh kiss. It was very nice."

Gabe gives me a smile and stands up from his kneeling position. He walks close to me and pulls something out of his pocket and scribbles on it with a pen from nearby. He reaches for my arm and tugs me into another kiss, this one sweeter and longer. Now, I'm the one left dazed and confused when we break apart and feel him slide something in my hand.

"When you're ready for me, I owe you a birthday present. Call me anytime or text."

Then, Gabe walks back into the little back room and I exit the main room and head back to the girls. They're waiting for me at the bar and all of them smirk at my expression.

"So, Clementine, did you like your gift?"

I roll my eyes at them before nodding.

When we finally leave the club, I look at the paper Gabe gave me and smile at it.

Happy Birthday, Clementine. My home phone and cell number are on the back. Call me ;)
