"You are enough"

Chapter 9

"Ronnie, why are we here?" Ellie asked as the girl was leading her through the hall of the night club

"Because it's your birthday. And there's no birthday without the party. I'm going to have you do the things that you never did before" she smirked

"Like what?"

"Like-" she moved closer to her "You will see"

"Ronnie! I don't like surprises"

"Oh, I know. That's the whole fun of bringing you here" she chuckled

"You're evil. Pure evil... I swear"

"But you love me" she said as they entered the main room

There were a lot of people dancing to the loud electronic music. There were a lot of colourful lights and the main stage with some dancers. Ellie hadn't been to such a place never before. She felt a knot in her stomach, as she noticed that the majority of people – were young, maybe even younger than Ronnie – and she realized that she's probably the oldest one there.

She's got a bit frustrated by the time they sat at one of the tables.

"You know. That's not what I was planning, actually. But since we're here I hope you'll enjoy yourself" she smiled sweetly and waved at the waiter

"Good evening, ladies. What can I do for you?"

"Well, I would like you to bring us every sort of drinks that you have. I mean one of each kind. It's her birthday, so we're going to celebrate. So, surprise us" she smiled widely

"Of course" he nodded with a smile

"What? I'm not going to drink..." Ellie stated when they're alone once again

"You will" she chuckled

"No, I won't"

"I can assure you, baby girl, that you will. I can even tell that you'll want to"

"Why would I-" she didn't finish, as suddenly the lights went out

The only lighted place was the stage – on which a transgender woman appeared. She greeted everybody and presented the program for the night

"What the..." Ellie began confused "Are you fucking kidding me? You brought me to a whorehouse on my birthday?"

"It's not a whorehouse" Ronnie laughed "It's the night club – very special one. And those people" she pointed to the group of men who appeared on the stage "Are art. You will love it, baby"

"I-"

"Here you go" the waiter placed a tray with beverages – of various size and colour – in front of them

"Thank you" Ellie sighed taking one of the glass and bringing it to her lips immediately

Ronnie burst into laughter at Ellie's face expression

"I told you you'll need it" she pointed to the drinks

"If I drink all of it you will probably have to carry me to the car"

"You said it as if it's something bad"

Ellie shook her head chuckling

"Are they serious?" the psychiatrist asked, as the men on the stage began to strip

"Very serious. And it's the beginning"

"Oh my god" she reached for another drink

Ellie felt weird. It's not like she was ashamed of anything that was connected with sexuality. She had never had problems with talking about sex and other matters connected with it. But that? That was something she has never experienced. She hadn't even think she would ever have. And there she was. Sitting in the night club, sipping another drink and looking everywhere, but the stage – where almost completely naked men were dancing.
