Kissing in Cars

Chapter 8

Adrenaline coursed through me as I, the mysterious man, and three of his friends, walked out of town and towards a strip club.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Well, after accepting his request, I met Bones (he finally told me his name) and his friends in a nearby ally between the town post office and laundromat. I found it a bit strange that this was where we were meeting but I'm not one to judge. It was here when he informed me that his name was Bones, and his three friends were Jp, Lazar and Charlie. Instantly I could tell they're roles in this relationship. Jp was a somewhat buff guy with curly brown hair and it was almost like he assumed the role of Bones' personal body guard. He always agreed to whatever Bones said which I found a bit annoying. Lazar and Charlie were much cooler. Lazar was a slender but still muscular guy not much older than I was, with short cropped blonde hair and a jawline that could cut wood. I was actually kind of into him until he began to describe his girlfriend, Emma. I mean, apparently he was bi, but having a girlfriend is a major turnoff. Charlie had blonde, gelled hair but not in a snobby way. He just gave off an over all vibe of not caring. He kind of went along with what was happening but he still was comfortable with voicing his own opinions.

As soon as I had met and was properly introduced to everyone, Bones bluntly and nonchalantly stated, "tonight, we're going to a strip club."

And so there we were, outside of "The Rams Cave", a well known club just outside of town. On a normal occasion, if I was offered to go to such a place I would promptly refuse and go home to the safety of my room. But this was not a normal occasion.

I was pissed, in fact, I was beyond pissed. I was betrayed, toyed with, treated as if I was a fun game to play. So tonight, I wanted to have some fun. To do something new and exciting and maybe even dangerous. I wanted to momentarily forget all the hurt and the anger that I was feeling and just feel good. And who knew, maybe a strip club was the answer.

The neon purple and green lights blinded me and I could hear the music from a mile back. The windows were all tinted black however every time someone opened the door various colors would pour out onto the sidewalk. A bouncer guarded the door as he let in the huge crowds of people once they showed him their ID's. Before we got to the door, Bones turned and grinned at me.

"Excited?" he asked.

"There's a lot of people here," I noted and he smiled wider.

"Of course there are, it's Friday night! That's what makes it fun." He then reached into his pocket and handed me a card. It was a fake ID.

"You're welcome," he said.

"How did you get all my information?" I asked but he didn't hear me. He was already walking up to the bouncer, who after looking at his ID let him in.

Sighing I followed him and got on the like last behind Charlie.

"Do you guys do this often?" I asked him and smirked.

"Oh yeah, Bones loves to party." At this moment we got to the front and Charlie was let in without question. "See you on the other side dude!" And with that he disappeared.

"ID?" The guy asked in a low, bored voice. I gave him the card and tried to look as normal as possible and not like I was illegally trying to sneak into a club.

The man looked between me and the card suspiciously. "Majsak?"

"Yep," I answered.

"Says here you're 45 years old," he said and it took every fiber in my being not to run away right then. 45?! Was he trying to get me arrested!
