Friday / 11.28pm / there's a sign by a door / red neon / stutters / Dance / pointing towards the heat / the open legs skinned / towards a dimly lit bar / stretching into /

seven tall bar stools in a single row / 5 empty / 2 compressed by lines of sweaty backs spreading into buttocks / tight in conversation resting on the elbows of the bar /

my mouth is dry /
a glass of water please /
ice and lemon ? /
thanks / quite a crowd tonight /
not bad for a Friday / ( he gets his drink ) do you like dancing? /
sometimes / (drinks his drink ) you must learn a lot about human nature in a job like this /
it depends /
on what ? /
on who you are /

a glass of water, please

 

ice and lemon?

I'm caught by the conversation next to me . . .

oh tracy it was great / my lips moved lightly across his / his nipples went hard / I could see them through his tee shirt / I peeled it back like a skin / and massaged those tiny buds with my tongue / they swelled in the delicate grip of my teeth / as the waves of pleasure rippled through his body /

oh my god sarah!

 

oh tracy it was great . . .

 

oh my god sarah . . .
