THE DANCER
"Okay now," Bonnie asked for the last time, "you got
everything under control!?!" "Uh, yeah," he replied, "I've got the boom box, the
CD's, my wardrobe, and the address, I think that's it!!!" "Good," she answered,
"make sure you give them a good show, now the deal is they give you five hundred
up front, and you get to keep two, any tips you make are all yours!!!" What if
they pay me by check," he questioned?!? "It doesn't matter how they pay you, you
bring back either the check or cash to me and I'll cut you a check," she
replied, "the tips are almost always in cash so you just pocket that!!!" "What
time do you have to be there," she continued on!?! "Seven o'clock," he replied,
"but I'm gonna get there about and hour early to get changed and set up!!!"
"Good lad," she added, "and by the way, Brian, good luck on your first gig!!!"
"Thanks, boss," he replied, and then he headed out the door!!!
A week ago he was working in a bar for four bucks and hour and tips, and now he
was on his way to a bachelorette party as the main attraction for a two hundred
dollar minimum!!! Was he nervous, you bet, since he had never taken his clothes
off in front of more than one female at a time, this was definitely going to be
a new experience for him!!! He found the address and before he knew it, he was
knocking on the front door and wondering exactly what the hell he'd gotten
himself into!!! A flash of panic swept through him, and for a second he
considered turning tail and running back to his car, but before he could move,
the door swung open and a cute redhead invited him inside!!! "You must be
Brian," she said with smile, "I'm Cori, glad you could make it!!!" "You're
early," she said while leading him into the large great room that was already
laid out and ready to go with food and a bar, "would you like something to eat
or drink, we have plenty!?!" "A soft drink would be nice," he replied while
looking the place over, "this is a good room for a party, lots of room to move
around in!!!" "You should know," she said with a chuckle, "I mean about room to
move around, you being a dancer and all!!!" "Oh yeah, right," he replied,
"there's plenty of room in here, by the way, how many are you expecting!?!" Just
ten of us, plus the bride to be," she replied, "oh, and by the way, I'll give
you the check right now, five hundred, is that right!?!" "Exactly," he said
gratefully, just glad he didn't have to bring the money thing up himself!!! She
handed him the check and at the same time stared hard into his eyes and said
softly, "You wouldn't mind letting me get a preview of the merchandise before my
guests arrive would you?!?"
