this wasnt rafes first choice. he had just gotten off work, and all the bars had closed at 2am around 30 minutes ago. but he desperately needed a glass of whiskey. the only place still open that served alcohol, was the towns one and only strip club.
he thought it once over, weighing the pros and cons in his head, before ultimately deciding that there wasnt too much that could go wrong if he went. it was so late, it probably wouldnât even be too busy. he would get his drink, and go home.
or so he thought. he was right about the busyness of the place, but the second he saw you sitting on the edge of the stage, legs dangling, leaning back on your hands, he knew he wasnt gonna leave right away. he was the only guy in there, thank god.
he managed to make it to the bar, ordering a double instead of his usual single. he knew he had to talk to you, but he also knew he needed the extra confidence. you werenât facing the bar, allowing him to really analyze your face. you looked, sad. now that he really looked at you.
it was odd. you didnt even look temporarily sad, it looked permanent. like the emotion had been etched into you since birth. he couldnât stop looking. his eyes finally left you when the barkeep set his bill down infront of him. he called out after, âwho do i talk to for a private session?â
the bartender sighed, rolling her eyes. âthereâs only like two dancers left here, ân they probably aint up for a session right now.â rafe shook his head, speaking up again. âiâll pay good. as much as sheâll take.â the woman glanced up, behind rafe. âgo talk to james, up there. heâll set you up.â rafe nodded, leaving a $20 on the bartop and heading over to the man.
he was an older guy, he looked rough. tired. he was sitting in a chair, counting money. the mans eyes looked up at him, looking him over. he spoke. âwhat you need, kid?â rafe cleared his throat, a bit nervous. âwas looking for a private session. with the girl over there.â the man chuckled, the gravely noise filling the air. âbambi. her names bambi.â
rafe nodded, taking his wallet out. âyeahâ i want her.â the man raised his brows at the leather in rafes hand, speaking. âyou want a vip session, or a private?â rafe furrowed his brows, confused. âwhats the difference?â the man smiled again, clearly amused.
âvip, you can touch her, and she can take off her clothes. but she charges however much she wants. how long you want her?â rafe ran the mans words through his mind, thinking. he wanted to talk to her for a while. he wanted to see her fully, no matter the price. âthe vip. i want her for an hour.â
the man nodded, writing something down on a piece of paper. âsheâll probably charge you around $850 for that. that okay?â rafe nodded, wincing a bit at the price. the man spoke up again, âalso, if she does end up taking her clothes off, tip her well. really well.â the man smiled eerily creepy, insinuating something that made rafe feel off.
the manager yelled something in spanish at the girl, her understanding. she headed to the door behind her. the manager yelled something nodded rafe off to follow her. he trailed behind her, noticing her skimpy yet comfortable clothes. she had on a tiny bra, barely covering her nipples. and a thin as floss thong underneath the black sweats that hanged low on her hips.
she had really long hair. down past her ass. it was straight too.
he wanted to know if that was its natural state or not.
he wanted to know her. in and out. her pet peeves, her hobbies, her fears.
she led him to a room, lit up by red lights. it contained a large velvet black couch, a coffee table, and a pole. the girl sat down on the couch, her knees tucked to her chest. rafe paused infront of her, unsure. he had never been anywhere like this. she looked up at him, her sad looking eyes, before she spoke. âare you gonna sit?â he nodded quickly, sitting to the side of her.
she was looking at him, and he returned her gaze. she was beautiful, genuinely. she wasnât even wearing any makeup either, completely bare. he liked looking at her. a lot. she spoke, again. âare you okay?â he laughed, not on purpose. just on instinct. âyeah? why do you ask?â
she let her chin rest on her knee, still keeping his gaze. âbecause you arenât telling me what you want me to do.â he studied her expression, accidentally stopping at her lips for a moment. âi just want you to do whatever you wanna do.â she sat up at this, checking his face to make sure he was serious.
he could tell she didnt know how to respond, so he spoke again. he was starting to get more comfortable. âyou wanna tell me about you?â she nodded, before answering. âwhat do you wanna know?â he shrugged. he honestly just wanted to hear her talk. âhowâd you get into stripping?â
she let her eyes drop from his, fidging with the drawstring of her sweats instead. âi was really young. like, younger then i should have been. i needed moneyâ and i just went to the first club i could find. then i moved states, started working here.â he nodded, listening to her talk. he liked her voice.
âwhyâd you move?â she glanced around the room, before nervously speaking. âthis ex boyfriend. wouldnât leave me alone, so i left.â he nodded, looking straight ahead now too. he felt guilty for asking, but he didnt know why. he knew she seemed uncomfortable about it though. he wouldnât mention it again.
âyou like what you do?â he asked. she nodded. âmhm. its fun, ân the moneys good.â he registered her words, holding on to them. âwhyâd you get into it so young?â she tensed up, again. he felt bad. âneeded to get out of my dads house. needed to eat.â rafe nodded. the more he listened to her, the more he analyzed her features, he realized just how truly sad she seemed.
âisnt it dangerous? beinâ so young and stripping. has anything ever happened?â she chewed on her bottom lip, looking down. âmore at the first club then here.â he nodded, urging her to continue. âwhat happened at the first club?â she sighed, rolling her eyes. she seemed, off.
âthe managerâ he wasnât good. he was pimping on the side ân would use girls from the club. he wouldnât give us a choice about it either; if you didnât wanna walk the blade, he wouldâ take more out of your pay, beat on the girls ân stuff like that.â she spoke. rafe felt nauseous. it was so sick. this girl was no older then 21. she started working underaged at the club, to a pimp who beat her.
rafe spoke. âyou were a hooker?â she looked at him, disappointedly. âno. i told him i wouldnât do it.â rafe felt bad for asking that. she seemed offended. âso he beat you?â rafe spoke, her answer being a light nod. âyeah. he set me up too.â he looked at her, his brows furrowed concerningly.
âset you up like how?â he asked, softly. she tucked her knees back to her chest, before speaking. âhad these guys jump ân rape me when i was leaving work. why are you asking me this?â her expression was one that rafe couldnât make it out. it seemed like she was almost nonchalant about the topic.
âi justâ sorry. im sorry. you dont have to talk to me about it.â rafe spoke. that killed him. she was a small girl too, defenseless really. and she probably thought that treatment was normal. like she deserved it. she studied his expression for a moment, before looking away. a silence fell in the room. for a while, too. until finally, she spoke again. âwhy havenât you told me to take my clothes off yet?â she asked, looking back to him. he shrugged. that idea hadnât even came to mind yet.
âi âdunno. you can if you want.â she narrowed her eyes, her brows furrowed. âyou paid $750 to talk to me for an hour?â rafe laughed, before replying. âi guess, if you put it that way.â she smiled, for the first time they had been in that room. âso, you didnât come in here to fuck?â she asked. he shook his head immediately, answering. âno. god no. i just wanted to talk to you.â
she tilted her head, checking his gaze for seriousness. âwhy?â he shrugged yet again, âyou interested me. youâre really pretty too.â she smiled, again. he liked that it was him that made her smile. âthank you.â she spoke, rafe nodding. âyour hours almost up.â she reminded him, rafe sighing. âcan i pay for another one?â she looked at him, like he was asking the dumbest question in the world.
âyouâre not paying me just to talk. i wont let you. and the clubs gonna close soon.â she spoke. rafe chewed his lip, he wanted to keep talking. he had an idea, but he wasnât sure if she would even be okay with it. he figured he could try, though. âcan we go to your place?â he asked carefully, tiptoeing over the question. she raised her brows, replying. âits against the policy to go home with customers.â she said.
rafe was about to give up, shoving the idea off his mind before he heard her speak again. âjustâ here,â she trailed off, grabbing a pen from the pocket of her sweats. she took his hand, writing an address on the top of it. âyou can come. but we arenât fucking. or doing anything like that.â rafe was fucking ecstatic.* he didnt even wanna fuck her, he would take what he could get.
he tried to reply as nonchalantly as he could, brushing off the way his fingers felt against hers. how small her hand was compared to his. âyeah. thats perfectâ thats fine. thank you.â she nodded, getting up from the couch before turning and looking at him, speaking. âleave 10 minutes after me. dont make it obvious.â he nodded, looking up at the idea of the most beautiful girl he had ever dreamt of.
she leaned down, pressing a soft kiss below his eye. it felt like he was in fucking highschool, painfully hard in his pants from a brush of a hand and a kiss on the cheek. she left the room after that, leaving rafe. he figured she was gonna be leaving then, so he waited his 10 minutes before getting to his truck and leaving too.
he pulled into a small house, deep in the ghetto. it was decorated nicely though, string lights and wind chimes adorning the front porch. he got out of the truck, knocking on the door shortly after. she answered, looking showered with her hair wet. she was wearing a big graphic t-shirt, lettering adorned on the back of it. didnât seem like she was wearing pants.
âhey,â he spoke, smiling down at her. he realized truly how small she was, tiny really. it was clear now why she was called âbambiâ. âhi. she spoke, inviting him in. he walked in, analyzing the place. it was clean, very clean. cozy, too. warm lighting filling the room. she walked through the room, him figuring he should follow. he had to be at least a foot taller then her.
he followed, her walking into a room. seemed like it was hers. it was filled with candles, vanilla. he liked it. she sat on her bed, leaving him standing. he didnât wanna sit on her bed if she didnt want him too. but she spoke, clearing the air. âyou can sit.â he nodded, moving to the other side of her bed. he took his shoes off, before she spoke. âyou can take your pants off too.â he nodded, slipping his jeans off and sitting to the side of her.
âcan i ask you something?â she spoke, him answering with a nod. âwhy havenât you asked me for sex yet? and why are you being so nice?â he leaned back, his arms stretched behind his head. her sitting up still, next to him. he spoke âi dont expect you to do things you dont want to do. i justâ think youâre a nice girl. i wanted to get to know you.â
she stayed silent for a moment, analyzing his face, before she spoke, âwhats your name? he smiled, looking at her. ârafe.â she nodded, speaking back. âi like you, rafe. youâre sweet.â he laughed, replying. âthanks. âpreciate it.â she laid down, her head unexpectedly going to his chest. he let her, lifting his arm for her to lay on. she pulled the blanket over the two of them, putting on a movie soon after.
this feltâ intimate. domestic. he liked it. he wanted to do this often, specifically with her. only her. he carefully let his hand go to her hip, testing the waters. she didnt tense, didnt flinch. in fact, she almost seemed to lean in to his touch. he really, really liked that.
he watched the movie with her, a silence filling the air. except it wasnt uncomfortable. it was more then comfortable, it felt good. he soon felt her go limp against him, presumably falling asleep.
he wouldnât move a fucking inch. he liked this so, so much. maybe too much. he felt already attached to her. which might have been bad, but he couldnât bring myself to care. he would savor this moment, and hold on to it as long as he could. he was relaxed by her presence, put at peace.
he soon felt exhaustion fill him, succumbing to rest.
he woke up for a moment, presumably in the middle of the night, to her laying more on top of him now. her head resting to the side of his, her legs tangled with his. he rubbed her back absentmindedly, eyes catching on to her hair. it was dry now. long, pretty, loose curls falling from her head.
now he knew, her natural hair was wavy.
