Remembering Red...
... Continued from Part 2, 'The Bay'...

I was ready to jump out of that car at his response but I knew better than to let my emotions get the best of me so that I put myself in an impossible situation. I was afraid to hear his response, afraid of what it might be, afraid he would say yes, that is exactly what he wanted me to do.
"You have a mouthpiece! You can get me to spend every dime I have to my name, not to mention all the others you've taken to the cleaners! Why not just talk your way into a damn twenty or two?" He took a deep breath but still, he wouldn't look in my direction. "Just say you quit. That's it right? You didn't want to do it so instead of sticking it out, you quit, you're a quitter."
What? Were he and Daniel in kahootz? I didn't see it that way. I refused to work in a whore house. I had already considered breaking the promise I had made myself about nudity. There was no way in hell I was going to put myself in a situation where I was perceived as and treated like a prostitute. If that made me a quitter then so be it!
My man and I went back and forth all the way back to the house and when we got there I went straight upstairs to the bedroom, shut the door and prayed he wouldn't find a reason to wander up there. I slipped out of my clothes and slid under the covers, my favorite place to be when I am unhappy, nice and cozy in bed.
'I want to go home. I just want to go home...' Kept running through my mind. I was a big fish in a small pond at my club in Phoenix. I knew how to make my money, how to relate to the customers. I knew the other dancers, I knew the managers. I was well liked at home and I did my job and kept my self respect without sacrificing money in order to do it.
I let my mind wander back to All Star. There had been so many people there. the club was packed every single night. Every stage money flew through the sky the whole time I was up there, if it didn't we stayed on that stage shakin' and movin' until it did. I didn't do a single stage for less than a couple of hundred dollars. There had been so many good looking men there and women as well, for that matter.
The women had come to work at our club from Houston, Atlanta, LA, Sacramento, Florida and probably a bunch of other places I haven't mentioned. There were girls in all shapes and sizes from all over the place and no one had to go home empty handed. There had been one dancer that had caught my attention though. She caught my attention like no woman had ever done before. She was fair skinned, same as me and her body was curvy but in no way fat at all. She was far shorter than I was and her hair hung past her shoulders wavy and full, framing her face perfectly. She had full lips, perfect skin, light brown eyes and a beautiful smile. She looked like she belonged in a magazine or on TV somewhere, not in a topless bar. I stared at her long enough one night in the dressing room that she approached me, asked my name.
"I'm Ginger. I'm sorry for staring, I know that's rude. I don't like it when people stare at me." That wasn't true, I was usually flattered. "You really are beautiful and I am critical so trust me, that's a compliment. I don't think half of the Hollywood starlets are beautiful. You've got most of them by a landslide." I smiled at her. It was an innocent enough compliment, definitely the truth, she was beautiful.
"Are you from here?" She asked. "I'm from Dallas. I came down just for All Star. I don't know anyone though, I'm pretty much on my own." She smiled at me. "You're beautiful yourself. I bet we could pass for related, though, huh?"
I looked at her and realized she was probably right. We looked similar in a lot of ways. I was taller than she was but other than that, we could have been related. "Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment for sure. I work here in Arizona, Phoenix. I'm from The Bay area but I've lived out here far too long not to be considered a native." I smiled at her then. "I'll have to come out to your club for All Star next year. It's in Dallas, right?"
She looked down at her perfect feet and smiled. "Yeah, we have All Star in Dallas next year. You should come." She hesitated, looked around and then back at me. "Hey look, in Dallas we work together a lot. One other girl and me. We go around the floor and dance together, sell ourselves as a team. Play up the girl/girl thing, you know, like we're all into each other and not afraid to show it. It eliminates the competition since we are the same 'type' and the guys love it, we'd make way more money. I mean, since we have to do stages with another girl anyway I thought, maybe, we should work together and cash in on these guys as much as we can..." She seemed so embarrassed when she asked me that, like she was really shy about it.
"Yeah, we can do that, that's a good idea. I did that back in the day with my homegirl in Tucson, I was younger and worked at the club out there. She passed away though. I hadn't really done it since. You're right though, we'll do that, it works, that's for sure." I smiled at her. "I'll tell the DJ, what's your stage name?"
"I'm Red." Then she paused, I waited though, I could tell she wanted to say something else. "My real name is Patty though." I shook her hand.
"My real name is ****** but like I said, they call me Ginger in here. Its nice to meet you." Her hand was light, it was delicate and she didn't squeeze my hand like she was fighting for attention, she shook it gently, she was sexy, a quality I didn't find myself usually noticing in women.
I took off in the direction of the DJ booth and went to tell him that I'd be doing my stages with 'Red', it only took a minute. The DJ was relieved he didn't have to match me up with someone as a lot of the girls let him do it and then complained that he had chosen someone not to their liking. I headed back to where I'd left 'Red' and found her on the way to follow me to the DJ booth. I spoke first.
"So, how do you run this? Just ask them if they want a double dance?" I raised my eyebrows in a curious way. "Like we do on our own, just together, right? Or do you have a hustle that works better with this thing you've got going?" She smiled before she responded.
"I mean, I think the best way to do it is to play on their fantasies, let them think you and I are into each other and they get to peek in on our little 'thing'. They love that! So, you know, walk close together, rub and touch, do like you would do with someone you wanted to be with that was standing right next to you at their sexiest, trying to seduce you. Keep that in mind and we should be alright, trust me." She had a smile on her face that let me know she was going to enjoy this.
'Red' smelled good, her skin was tanned and looked as soft as silk. Surprisingly I started to think I might just enjoy this myself. "I got you." I said. "You've done this before, you take the lead." She smiled.
"No problem." She reached her arm around my waist and led me to a seat on the floor of the club, it was right next to the entrance that led to the smoking patio but one table over, so that we weren't right next to the traffic going in and out. "Go ahead and sit down, I got this." She whispered in my ear. Her breath was warm and soft and her lips brushed my ear as she spoke. I didn't say a word, just sat down as she had asked me to do. I sat down and she leaned in toward me and pushed my knees away from each other like we did with a customer that hadn't had a dance before and didn't realize he had to spread his legs.
She positioned herself between my legs and began to dance. I wasn't sure how to react. I had been given a dance before but it had always been friends, girls I had known forever and they just weren't sexy to me. We had always done it to catch a customers' eye but it had never been truly entertaining or at all a turn on. 'Red' was different. The minute she leaned in close and traced her lips on my neck I started to react to her. Her breasts were only millimeters from my face and her tongue traced my neck then. A shiver went through me. She stood up and smiled at me. Then leaned back in and whispered in my ear. "In case you were wondering" Then she stopped for a few second. "I AM trying to get your personal attention." She said to me and she sounded out of breath. "You certainly have mine mommy." My body got hot from the inside out. She turned around then, leaning backward so that I could watch her fondle her nipples, then bending over so that her perfect ass was in my lap.
Her ass wasn't close to my lap, it wasn't near my lap, she sat in my lap, rubbing and grinding in places I knew she had to be aware of because she had those places herself. She guided my hands over her breasts when she turned back around and her skin was just as soft as it looked. She expertly traced her own fingers around my nipples, ever so lightly until they were both hard, begging for more. I hadn't expected my body to react that way but it was like I didn't have control of it, at all. I reacted to her involentarily and I liked the way it felt. I was feeling good but I wasn't in control, 'Red' was running things, she had my full attention and she knew it. She was making me feel good, feel things I wasn't accustomed to feeling and she knew it.
Finally, when I felt like this was getting out of hand, I didn't know how to react or what to do in response to my unexpected attraction to her. The song ended and 'Red' smiled at me, she was happy with her performance. How could she not be. She was sexy, that was for sure, I had my lap dance down to a pretty erotic show myself. The two of us would give these guys a real run for their money, that I knew. If I were a guy I would have given 'Red' all of my money but for the both of us? They would empty out their account to whatever limit our ATM gave them, this I knew.
'Red' leaned over when the song was over and started whispering in my ear. "Who do you want to dance with me for mommy?" She asked as if we had our pick of men in the club. Usually I had a rule never to dance for a man I was attracted to, it could lead to problems. I didn't think I could be attracted to any of these men more than I was to 'Red' though, so that rule was void for the night. My eyes wandered through the club for a tall man I had been eyeballing since the day before. He was an athlete and I usually tried to keep my distance from them but this would be all in good fun, not to mention money. Athletes did have plenty of that most of the time.
Sure enough, when my eyes finally found the man I was looking for, his eyes were on us as well. He was staring at us as if he had never seen women before. 'Red' raised an eyebrow at me as she followed my eyes to where he was. Then, she simply put up her pointer finger and gestured for him to come to us. He did.
"We want to dance for you daddy." She said to him when he was close enough to hear what she had to say. He looked at us both carefully and smiled from ear to ear.
"It would be my pleasure ladies." He sat down when I stood up and 'Red' sat on his knee. She reached for me and I came close to her.
"Isn't she beautiful?" She asked him, never taking her eyes off me.
Her gaze was different from a mans, she looked at me like she could see right through me and she liked what she saw all the way through.
"She is." He responded. "So are you."
Then 'Red' tugged at my waist so that I leaned in close to her face. I thought she was going to whisper in my ear again but not this time. This time she brought her lips to mine and kissed me. At first I didn't know how exactly to react but that passed quickly. When she slipped her tongue from her mouth and let it trace my lips I wished it was just she and I in that club. I kissed her back, in a way that was sure to let her know I wanted more and she responded, letting me know the same.
The song ended and 'Red' got up from our customers lap, we looked at each other and smiled. We danced for each other more than for him but he kept us dancing for each other for five songs and it seemed to arouse the attention of any man that could see us. After five songs he owed us $100 but handed me four hundred dollar bills and leaned over to ask 'Red' something. She shook her head no.
"After we leave here it will be just her and I." She said, making the conversation between the three of us now, even though he had tried to talk with her about it, hush, hush.
"I won't touch you. I just want to be there." He said. "I'll be as quiet as a church mouse, you won't even know I'm there. I'll pay you what you want."
He was serious as a heart attach too.
"Listen, we are flattered, really. Right, Gin? We are here to dance though, that's all. I'm sorry."
He dropped his head and looked at the floor. "OK. I understand. Thank you ladies. Best time I have ever had in a strip club." He said.
We took turns giving him a superficial hug and walked away. Within seconds the doorman approached us, we were wanted in VIP. This chick was on top of her game. The whole night was that way. We stayed in VIP, where, during All Star we could charge what we saw fit for dances. 'Red' and I saw fit to charge $50 a dance and loved every minute of it.
We looked at and touched every inch of each others' bodies. We licked and caressed enough of each other too. She was soft, smelled perfect and her touch made me crazy. I have never been one for becoming intimate without knowing a man well but I had never been one for becoming intimate with a woman, at all.
I had looked, thought about how beautiful women were before. I had wondered what it would feel like to touch or be touched that way, even fantasized but never had I acted on it. By the end of that night though, I was going wherever 'Red' was going and I couldn't wait to get her alone. There were places I wanted to lick, be licked. There were places I wanted to touch, kiss.
We were one for after hours during All Star and I had stayed until 6AM every night. This particular night though, 'Red' turned to me around 1AM, "We've made over a thousand each. I want you to come back to the hotel with me." She looked down at her shoes like she was shy all over again. "Will you?"
I couldn't believe she didn't know my answer. I thought it was obvious how bad I wanted to be alone with her. "I thought you would never ask." I said.
'Red looked up and smiled. She kissed me, but this time it wasn't for any customers benefit. She kissed me in a way that made me want to throw her down on the floor right there and just act like there wasn't a bar full of people. "Let's go." I said.
We got to the dressing room and 'Red' pulled out a cell phone and called a cab before she even started to get into her street clothes. I had never even seen her in her street clothes. This was something I never dreamed I would do before but I had no doubts in my mind at all.
'Red' and I got into our clothes quickly and headed for the door. We were almost t the door of the dressing room when one of the girls said, "I wanna go with you two!" The rest of the dressing room broke out in laughter and a few of the girls agreed. I smiled a huge smile and we disappeared through the dressing room doors.
The cab driver got a show far better than any of our customers at the club that night and I was crazy with lust by the time we pulled up in front of the Radisson, only five minutes from the club.
We rode to the top floor and made it to her room, which overlooked the city. We made out on the balcony, on the floor, in the shower, in the bed. I touched 'Red' in places I never thought I would touch on any other woman and she did the same. We passed out from sheer exhaustion just before the sun came up.
I spent every night she was there after that with 'Red'. We would work together and stayed at her hotel. I ran home to get some things and stayed with her the rest of that week. She stayed two extra nights and then had to get back home. She wouldn't leave until I promised to be in Dallas for All Star the following year. Whatever I am doing, I will make sure and be there.
I fell asleep with memories of 'Red' running through my head. I slept like a baby, forgetting that I would wake up with the same conflict with 'my man' but it was nice to have a few hours of escape. 'Red' was amazing, enough so that her memory alone provided an escape...

I spent every night she was there after that with 'Red'. We would work together and stayed at her hotel. I ran home to get some things and stayed with her the rest of that week. She stayed two extra nights and then had to get back home. She wouldn't leave until I promised to be in Dallas for All Star the following year. Whatever I am doing, I will make sure and be there.
I fell asleep with memories of 'Red' running through my head. I slept like a baby, forgetting that I would wake up with the same conflict with 'my man' but it was nice to have a few hours of escape. 'Red' was amazing, enough so that her memory alone provided an escape...
