Stripper teacher - Chapter 4

Chapter 4

The second morning of this new life

I wake up, confused at not recognizing the ceiling I'm looking at. Still sleepy, I hear the voice of the mysterious man, making me realize that I slept at his place.

- Hey, darling! he says, sounding proud.

- Hey, man whose name I don't know.

- Hum… Call me Steve.

- Okay… hi Steve…

- Yeah, hmm... I'm sorry for last night, I didn't want to..

- No, it's fine, like, if I didn't wanted to I could have said no and...

- It's my fault, I'm older, should have been more careful.

- How much older?

- I'm 37.

- 37 !?

My reaction also surprised me, as much as his age; he was thirtheen years older than me.

- Yeah, how old did you thought I was?

- I don't know, I'm kind of younger...

- Yeah, I know you must be like eighteen....

- Oh, no, I'm 24! But no, it's fine, I just don't know how I'm going to explain this to my boss that...

- It's fine, if they invite you home and you accept, you can go, you still get paid... I'm the prize, he tells me with a creepy wink - even more creepy now that I knew his age.

I think he just made up that rule.

- Since where are they doing this, exactly?

- Just take 200$ out of my wallet, I don,t know... me and the boss have a understanding.

- So it's all a set-up?

- No, I like you! I mean... I like the boss, da... Réjean, very nice dude! I didn't bring you here for no reason, you know... 

- Because I'm fresh meat and everyone else was busy !?

I don't know why I came off as arrogant, but...

- Hmm... no, not really. When I saw you drunk dancing last friday, I looked at you and was mesmerized; I swear, I was in love. Then, I only had you in mind. But not you're with me, I envy you and I know I've made a mistkae but I'll fix it and...

- No, don't worry, I'll go home and pretend this never happened!

As if, he is so cute...

- Do you want to... want to... go out with me ?

He really took me by surprise, I've only known him for a couple hours!

- Wow, you really want us to be boyfriend and gilfriend? What...

- Yes or no? he said, enjoying this.

He did that cute little smirk he often does.

- Why not, let's get to know each other!

- Thanks... if only my ex wife was like you...

- What, was she better? And... you were married?

So many questions in mind; this man is truly full of mysteries.

- Oh, no, there's no better than you! She was getting on my nerves, if was never enough, always something to nag... yeah, been married a few times... I mean, three times or whatever! I hate divorces!

- Hmm... I'll never be like that, I promise, but I need to work at the bar... you know... it's my only source of income, I lied.

- Oh, yeah, well...

- Does it bother you?

- I mean, it kinda does a little bit...

- I'll find something else, don't worry.

- It's fine, it's just that... I don't want you to find a better and cooler guy...

- Jealous? I said, smiling at the thought.

- No, but... well, maybe for you, I'd be...

He winks and tries to kiss me.

- Not today... your breath smells like alcohol, I liked, uncomfortable. See you later!

- Wait, why?
- The kiss? I asked, stupidly.

- Don't go home, you can eat here, we're eating filet mignon.

I roll my eyes. Does he always live like this, or is he trying to impress me ?

- Yeah, like me some filet mignon...

- Samesies.

We ate filet mignon with rice, 2-3 brocolis on the plate to do the illusion of a vegetable portion. I feel very cheap compared to him. I feel so good with him, it's like he protects me with his presence. I feel so starstruck.

- Where do you live?

- China? Seriously, I added, I live here, in the village aera.

- Oh, well... It's rare we see girls this beautiful here!

- You seem like you know what you're talking about! I joked.

- Well... yeah. You're mindblowing, your bodyshape...

- Oh, ok.

This comment made me cold; I expected something about my personnality, but I have to admit; we don't know each other. This is so weird! He gets up, suddenly, grabbing my waist.

- Do you want to... you know...

- What?

I was playing dumb towards his questions, of course I knew what he had in the back of his mind!

- Play cards, he tells me, tryna to make it look like a joke.

- Not very good with it, I lied. You like cards?

- Not really, it was hmm... a question...

- Oh well, gotta go prepare for work!

- Oh, can't you call sick or something?

- I'll come back aftewards, ok?

Despite being suspicious, I couldn't help to fall for his smile and eyes.

- Okay, he said, fakely pitiful.
