It was almost ten in the evening when Lissa, Judy and Nina arrived at the rows of clubs at D.C. The three of them just got off their shift and it was a dreadfully long evening, and oh boy, was this the longest one they've ever had.
As they say in the business world. It's time to lay-off some dead-weight.
"So where are we headed to, Ladies?" Nina asked the two while they were walking towards the 'Nightlife District.' "So are we headed to Adonis, Rocks or maybe at Cube?"
"Adonis is boring!" Judy protested while rolling her eyes. "And too many gay men."
"That's why they call it a Gay Bar, yeah?" Was Lissa's sarcastic reply. "Stupid."
Nina retorted and sighed indifferently to the two. "Whatever, bitches. Let's just go wherever."
They continued their slow pace, their high heels clacking against the paved floor until Niña spotted a bar they've never been to before. Instantly, she pulled the two by the arms and dragged them in front of the new club.
"Ouch----Niña! What the hell!" Lissa whined loudly then slightly pushed away her overly excited friend. "What is it?"
Nina pointed at the name of the club and her eyes glistened from the red light. "Chrome!" She happily explained with a sneer on her highly tinted lips. "I think this is the club Maria was talking about, she said all the rooms, even the dance floor has red lights!"
"So." Was Judy's short and uninterested answer. "Is this the first time you're going to see one of those?"
Even though Nina didn't like how her friends were acting and did not like how snarky they were, she continued to walk inside the bar. "Let's just try it once. Once, okay? Just please!" was all she said before leaving her friends to go inside the said establishment.
Judy sighed at her friend's impulsiveness. It's so like Nina to be to quick to engage and try out something new every now and then. And she noted how many times her girl friend have been scammed because of this kind of attitude. "Let's go." She insinuated to Lissa. "After all, she's the one who usually pays for the entrace, yes?"
Lissa laughed at the thought. Whenever there's someone on a tight budget and there's a rich friend ready to offer to pay, who wouldn't even try to grab the opportunity. It was a win-win situation, so they went along with it.
*****
Chrome wasn't bad, it looks like any typical bar there is out there. It was hot, fun and there were a lot of singles, hot or not, they're ready to meet someone to mingle with.
And this was the night for Lissa.
Nina and Judy can't help but notice how their friend has been acting, and they can't help but think... "There she goes again." Judy blurted aloud. Lissa was always known for her saint like appearance, but in reality she's the kinkiest and out in the open kind of girl. And when she desires something, she bites into it like a hyena prowling on its prey.
Judy stared at the guy Lissa was ogling and practically drooling at. Even she can't deny the fact that the guy is good looking.
"Stare at him for a few more seconds and he'll drop down on the floor like goop."
Lissa clicked her tongue in annoyance. She was happily fantasizing her way with the man when Judy decided to rudely interrupt. In her imagination she and the guy were already frisky and were doing foreplay, now it's all gone. 'Damn it!' She thought. "Don't be such a prude, bish!" Was her irritated reply. "Can't you see I'm silently sight-seeing here?!"
Then Lissa visually and mentally shut out everything but the guy in front of her. He was not that masculine but he was defined, and she can see his biceps through the folded sleeve of his shirt. He was tall, about six feet tall or maybe five foot eleven and boy did she like how long his legs was. As the saying goes, the longer the legs, the longer the...
.
.
I want him.
Her mind screamed over and over again. And again, for so many times since she turned eighteen, the nasty sex-fiend inside of her came out. In one shot, she drank the Smirnoff Ginger Ale in sitting in front of her. She stood up abruptly, minding her hips to define how good her figure is.
She failed to notice her friend's hisses and mild to loud screams of warnings. Her friends covered their eyes in shame as they eyed their friend. "Hey, slut! Stop it, stop it! I say stop it there! Don't go any further!" and "Oh my god, Lissa! He'll just impregnate and be over and done with you, I swear!" as well as "Your Mom will be so very frustrated! This is not the kind of woman she raised! Didn't you go to a catholic school?!" and also "Lissa, if you don't come back this instant, Judy and I will leave you and you'll have to pay your entrance and drinks, bish!"
But of course, like every single time Lissa spots a man that she likes, her friends can't do anything about it. They just simply need to sit back, watch as she either gets lucky... or embarrass herself in public.
"Whatever, let's just leave her be." Was Judy's bitter sentiment as she stood up from her chair to order a new set of drinks. "Come on, Nina Let's go get some more drinks."
*****
Her line of vision never wandered away from the man as she slowly walked to the dance floor. He was smoking. Hot. And he was dancing to the beat in a good rhythm, all more the reasons why Lissa was hungrily taking the guy's clothes off in her vivid imagination. She's even tempted to remove her underwear and simply let the man have his way with her.
She was about two steps away from the man when he swiftly walked away from the dance floor. After that he silently when to the table where he was probably seated, and Lissa noted how far the man's table was from theirs.
It was a bit embarrassing, but it wasn't enough to stop her.
So she continued to pursue the man. In her mind, she knew what the man is probably thinking and what comes next after this persuasion and it made her excitement run up to her core. 'This is it!' She thought.
Finally, she talks. "Uhm..." And she made sure that her voice was a bit more sultry. "Excuse me, hi." She lightly tapped the man by the shoulder to make sure that she was noticed, and thank heavens he did.
And when he looked at her, boy was Lissa more desperate to get him to bed.
"I'm Lissa." She said with a smile as she studies his features. When she was able to stare at his features up close, he noticed how clean and neat he was. His eyebrows were even better than her.
"I'm Anthony." He answered.
And his voice was deep.
Damn he's sexy... But still, something seems a bit off with him.
Lissa did not mind her gut feeling, and continued to pursue the man. "I haven't noticed you before, did you just arrive?" The smile on Lissa's lips never faded as she talks. And she even smoothly brushed her arms against his, and it was smooth. "Maybe you want to share tables? I also came with my friends. Maybe your friends will care to join us as well?"
The man chuckled, then he took a hit from the cigarette. "Sorry." He politely declined with a smile. "I'm not interested."
'Oh really?' How prude.' Lissa whined internally. But just like her mother, she is quite thickheaded and giving up is not a part of her wide ends of vocabulary. So she doesn't give up. "Ah... Really?" She whined, almost moaning out the words. "That's a shame, are you sure? My friends say that I'm a good drinking buddy."
"Sure you are." Was his haste reply, and as rude as it may seem, it was obvious that he did not like the girl getting so comfortable around him. "But we won't work out, honey."
Lissa's brows and forehead scrunched up, and then she swiftly wrapped her arms around his forearm. Her action earned a deep groan from the man. "Why is that?" She innocently asked, her wide blinking eyes sending signals to him.
The man, Anthony sighed and then gave Lissa a smile which looks a bit out of pity. He faced her and slowly removes his arm from her tight grasp. "Because..." He leaned on closer until his lips were close to Lissa's ear, and then he breathed on her slowly, sending shivers up to Lissa's spine, enticing her lust even more.
"...I'm kind of gay, sweetie."
*****
The ride from the club all the way to their stop was filled with laughter and sighs. Their laughter was filled with mockery, and Judy even spewed out her drinks when Lissa told them the reason why she returned on their table empty handed.
"That's what you get, you bish!" Nina screamed while driving. "That's what happens when you let your pants think for you, eh? You didn't even notice that the guy was bisexual and was clearly uninterested!"
"She has a point." Judy replied while gasping and catching her breath from too much laughter. "Use your head and not the puss, okay?"
Lissa stayed silent all throughout the drive, and she thinks, maybe even until she meets the love of her life and finally marries, they'll never stop telling this story. And as evil as they are, they might reference this story on her wedding day.
*****
It was precisely nine o'clock in the morning when Lissa clocked in on their office. As usual, the bodyguard was there to check her belongings, the janitor was there sweeping the floor. But there was really something odd that she couldn't figure out and it her made her forehead scrounge-up and her nose wrinkled.
"What's with the face, sour puss?" Grizzel teased and she simply smiled lazily in return. "Good morning to you too, Griz." Was her short reply.
Another boring day at the office.
She thought she'd finally have that sexual tension released last night. But, no, it was the complete opposite. The guy that she had her eyes on had to be gay. She had no choice to do what she always does to relieve all of that sexual tension. Her only source of comfort was Jimmy, a vibrator.
Lissa quietly sat at her rotating chair and opened her desktop to begin doing what's she's paid to do. She was about to start-up her system when...
All employees, please proceed to the meeting room. Upon request of the director, all employees, please proceed to the meeting room.
Lissa sighed and then she stood up from her seat. 'Another meeting? What the heck.' She thought. She stood up and pressed down against her slightly creased corporate uniform. And then she turned around to walk silently towards the meeting room when she clashed against someone.
"Ouch!" She whined and yelped, she almost fell butt first on the ground from losing her footing. But then strong hands immediately clutched on her arm, a gesture that stopped her from completely falling. And then...
"Sorry, my fault." She heard a deep voice say. A voice that sounded so familiar that it took her a few seconds to look up. "I was in a rush."
'Fuck! I knew that voice sounded so familiar.' Lissa screamed inwardly. She didn't even dare to look up, for she knows who it was. That perfume, that height and that neatly cleaned nails and shaved arms is something that stuck to her easily. All of these comes from the shame that she experienced last night. It was so shameful that she wanted to flush that memory down the drain and imagined that it never happened.
"So, this is where you work, huh." The man spoke, and his voiced oozed with amusement.
Lissa had no other choice but to look up.
And there it is. His cheeky stupid face smiling at her so devilishly. Boy was she stupid last night. Very very stupid.
"Yeah." Was Lissa's short answer. "You too? I've never seen you here before, are you new?"
Anthony gave her a smirk then patted Lissa's head like a dog. "Yes." He answered smoothly then he reached out his hand formally. "I'm your new supervisor..."
Lissa swallowed against the dryness in her throat. She can't help but laugh at her own stupidity. And from now on, she'll never come with her friends if ever they invite her on another bar hopping escapade.
"...and I'm so glad to meet you."
