Chapter 3

Tonya, Dana, Tina, Shane and Alice were sitting around a table having dinner.  They were trying to convince Tina to join them at the strip club.  It was time for her to get out, be free, celebrate her singlehood, and be blissful.

“Please come out with us Tina it’ll be fun,” said Shane. 

“I don’t know.  I don’t think that women, especially lesbians, shouldn’t exploit other women.”

“Well, the strippers I know do it because they love it,” Shane defended.

“I don’t get how anyone can enjoy being subjected to sexual objectification.”

“Wait a minute, haven’t you ever had a lap dance?” Tonya asked.

Tina shrugged and shook her head.

“Is there anyone else here who hasn’t had a lap dance?”

Dana looked up at the ceiling. Tonya nuzzled her neck.  “Oh, my innocent little sweetie! Would you like one?”

Alice eyed them with irritation and jealousy. “That would be okay with you?”

“Well, if Dana wanted one. But she doesn’t want anyone else’s booty in her booty right now. Do ya, Pookie?”

Dana smiled a little uncomfortably then eyed Alice.  They still haven’t talk about the kiss that happened between them.

“I don’t think I want the first woman to ever touch me other than Bette to be a stripper.”

“Did I hear what I think I just heard? Bette’s the only woman you’ve ever been with?” Tonya asked.

She nodded.

Tonya chuckled, “Oh-ho. We are getting you a lap dance tonight.”

They arrived at the club sexy dance music played while women danced on stage very minimally clothed, in front of a crowd that was mostly men.

“Whaddaya think, huh?” Alice asked Tina.

“I think it’s hideous.”

“Well, they’re all different, you know? Some have real boobies. Keep looking, I’m sure you’ll see some you like.”

Shane walked off to do exactly that. Tonya grabbed Dana’s hand and led her to where a woman was dancing candidly. Dana was nervous while Tonya admired the dancer, then she slipped a dollar between her breasts. She handed a dollar to Dana. “C’mon, honey. It’s good fun. C’mon.”
