ADRIAN’S POV
I couldn’t believe that I had actually had fun at the strip club although it wasn’t really my scene, I couldn’t remember the last time that I had actually had that much fun or let loose. Joseph was right, I needed to do this a lot more often and it was going to help me in dealing with all the stress that I was facing at home and at work. Before discovering the great strip club last night the only way that I had to deal with my stress was drinking and overworking.
However there was another reason that made me find myself waiting impatiently to visit the club again, and that reason was Tasha. I had never seen anyone as beautiful as her. Seeing her in that strip club was like seeing a rose in the middle of the dessert. She was just out of place there and she didn’t seem to fit in with all the other strippers that danced after her. Judging by the way she was acting I could confidently predict that it was also her first time dancing and yet I couldn’t fault anything about her dance routine. She seemed so uncomfortable even though she was the most beautiful and there was nothing about her that I would consider imperfect. The fact that she had all these men watching her seemed to make things worse for her and it made me kind of wish I could just take off my jacket and rescue her from their hungry eyes.
I stared at the way her body moved to the song that they played for her and I just found myself drawn to everything about her, I wanted to be closer to her than I was. I can't say I knew much about how strippers were supposed to dance but I knew that she had done exceedingly well and I just couldn’t wait to see her dancing again.
“Joseph come into my office now,” I said after speed dialing Joseph, I knew that by asking him to take me back to the strip club I was risking him making fun of me but Tasha was all that I could think about and I just needed to see her again. However, I wasn’t going to tell Joseph that the reason why I wanted to go back was that I had found myself smitten by one of the dancers. He would probably discourage me against it and tell me all strippers were no good and I would have t pretend I agreed with him even if I didn’t.
“What's up man?” he asked me as he walked in and threw himself on the chair opposite me
”I wanted to ask you if we could go back to the club tonight?” I said to him and at first, he just stared at me in disbelief at what I had just said and then he just burst out laughing.
“I told you you would enjoy it and yet you insist on acting like an old man,” he said laughing
“Just tell me what time we are going man” I snapped, I wasn’t in the mood of him mocking me I was just so eager to lay my eyes on Tasha again
”We can leave at the same time as yesterday, but I want to take you to a different place tonight. If we are going to do this then we have to do it right and you have to know all the best spots with the best girls” he said and I shook my head
”No, I want to go back to that same club” I insisted
“Okay,” he said hesitantly while trying to decipher my facial expression but I made sure I gave nothing away
“I think I know what is happening here and I have to tell you that you are treading on dangerous waters,” he said and I rolled my eyes “girls at the strip club belong to nobody else but the boss and you can only have what you are given”
“look here man, I know you are practically my brother but that doesn’t mean that you can read my mind, nothing is happening here I am just looking for a good time and that’s all,” I said and he rolled his eyes
“I know you man and I am telling you that this is not the kind of good time that you need,” he said
“You don’t even know why I want to go back there,” I said
“I know you well enough to know that your reason for going back there is probably because of a girl,” he said and I sighed
“Don’t ask me any questions, just tell me when you are ready and then we can go” I said “and if you don’t go with me I will just go alone, I am not asking you because I am afraid of going alone but because I think you will have fun too” I added, I wanted him to go with me because he knew how things worked at that strip club.
“When this blows up in your face which it will, don’t say that I didn’t warn you,” He said getting up and walking out of my office.
Joseph was an overthinker and he always worried a lot over little things like he was doing right now. What was the worst that could happen in me going to a strip club to destress while watching the most beautiful creature dance for me? I knew she was dancing for all the other men that were there in the club but I felt like she was dancing for me and me and me alone. If only I could get her to dance for me in a private room and not have every other man watch her.
But I was patient and with time I knew I would find a way to make that dream a reality.
