Angel In The Club

CHAPTER 18

She detest this person so much. Why did he want to buy me a drink of all people? She doubted she can tell him she don't drink or then Britney would have to deal with the lights of Damian. And if she did allow him to buy her the drink, then he's going to think she was interested in going back to a room with him and that is not an option for her. Britney refused to just meet a man and have sex with him.

She felt frozen in time. Her thought process has stopped altogether and the poor boy just stares at her expectantly while the other girls try to subtly get her attention.Narumba is trying to whisper something to her but her brain cells are currently out-of-commission.

Britney's eyes focus on a hand waving in her face and she saw that it belongs to the man. Britney took a good look at his face now and he looks pretty young like her. He has a full head of freakishly, curly, ginger hair that makes him stand out and his face is predominantly covered with freckles. He has a lean body and bright, kind eyes. He's not your normal 'club stripper buying guy' infact he looks a little out of place.

"If your not up to it you can just say so." He says and starts to get up from the seat he's just taken up beside her. He then proceeds to walk off when Courtney calls to him.

"She will be happy for that drink, won't you be Britney?" Courtney says through her teeth her face contorted in an authoritative manner.

"She's not answered me up to this point. Are you sure?" The boy says fidgeting with his tresses while looking towards Courtney.

"Yes, I'm sure. Tell him Britney that you are up for the drink."

"Yeah, I'm up to it." She sighed.

"Okay."

She remained seated and Narumba pinched her on her arm and nodged her head in the direction of the bar.

She jumped up rubbing my arm and started walking towards the bar, the weird looking boy following close behind her.

"You know if you really did not want to have the drink with me you could just say no, you have freedom of speech you know." He says and she wants to tell him that it's the exact opposite of my situation.

" It's okay."

We went up to the bar and she looked back at the girls and all of them gave me two thumbs up. Britney looked back at the red hair block beside her and see him rubbing his neck. She missed sitting over there already. I'm afraid the worst will happen tonight.

"Do you drink alcohol?" He ask not making eye contact with her.

"Not really but I can try." She said while cringing.

"I don't drink either. Would you like a Ginger Ale instead?"

"Sure that sounds good." Anything with the description ginger was going to be delicious.

"Two Ginger Ales please."

Atleast he wasn't trying to get her drunk that was a good thing or so she thought. Britney doubted she would be able to stomach doing anything extra without some form of narcotic or substance. How did she possibly get here?

She smiled at Jennifer as she places the two drinks on the counter and she take a seat on one of the stools and the boy does the same. She didn't know what to say and she guessed it's the same for him as he keeps twirling his drink in his glass and trying to look anywhere but my face. He doesn't come off as a big shot or someone who regularly visits strip clubs.

The awkwardness is palpable and Britney started to feel herself become impatient and irritable. Why did he bother asking her for a drink if he wasn't even going to talk to her. This was not how she imagined my first encounter would be but I'm not complaining though. It could be worst with a guy like that snob Steve. Things would have escalated too quickly for my liking.

"What's your name, I mean like your alter ego or what you go by at the club?"

"My alter ego?" She asked puzzled.

"Yes I read in an article where the writer said that you should not ask a stripper their real name. And to do that would be offensive. "

"Wow okay, yes that's right."

"So what's your stage name?"

"Well my name is Diamond."

"Nice to meet you Diamond my name is Jareth." He out stretched his arm towards me and she hesitated for a moment and then shaked his hand . His palm felt so soft and supple like a baby's bottom. Hands like his normally belonged to persons who didn't do much work. He had women hands.

"How old are you?" She asked desperately trying to keep the conversation going.

"I'm 21 years old."

"How about you?"

"I'm 19." Britney said remembering she should not be divulging real information about herself according to my friend here.

Another silence falls upon us as she sipped my drink as it helps to cool down my now high temperature. She catch Jareth staring at her and he turns around so fast she thinks he got whiplash.

"You look so beautiful." He says not looking at her.

"Okay just get to the point please. Name what you want because everyone knows that the only reason men come to a place like this, is to have a good time or to take advantage of random women.

"Well actually...."

"See I knew that was the only thing men want. You didn't fool me for a minute with you sheepish behavior and nerdy clothes."

"If you would just give me a chance to explain. You can't just judge everyone based on a generalization. I do want you to do something for me but it's not even close to what you probably think I want. If your going to behave like this for the rest of the night it's best I just find another girl. I'm sure I can find another stripler who would happily take up my proposal. I'm sure your boss wouldn't approve of you turning down a job. So Are you willing to hear what I have to say?"

He wasn't so innocent as he looked. He may look funny or even dressed like someone from the 90s but he was just as bad as the other guys she had met so far since shes arrived here.He played on my emotions and was trying to blackmail me by mentioning going to my boss if she turned him down.

"Sure go ahead and tell me what you have in mind."

"Good, so do you see the guys at the lounge over there with your friends?" He shakes his head in the general direction of the lounge. She slightly turnt around to see where the girls were now, over there drinking and laughing with a group of guys.

"Yes."

"It's my birthday today and my girlfriend dumped me a few days ago and my friends just wanted me to cheer up and release some of the 'tension' they called it. So I just want you to follow me to a room so I can just appease them and let them think I had sex."

"So you just want to trick them to believe you had sex with me?" She asked looking at him suspiciously.

"Yes that's all no funny business, I promise"

"Okay but it's not going to be cheap."

"No worries I never thought it would, I'll give you the cash after we're done and get out."

"Okay are you ready to go get?"

"Yeah let's go." He proceeds to hold my hand and she batted his hand away.

"I think we should hold hands to make it look believable,their looking." He says.

She grabbed his hand in mine and they made our way down the passage to one of the rooms.

She imagined this would be how she would lose my virginity If it was not for Jareth and his juvenile pursuit tonight.This was not how she imagined losing my virginity, actually it's not how any young woman imagined it would go. But this would be my reality sooner than later and she couldn't help but feel grateful for this peculiar boy.
