I’d not been to a topless...

I’d not been to a topless bar for a very long time. I usually go for nude, but Bottoms Up was conveniently on the way to my girlfriend’s, and she was having me wait for an hour or so. I hadn’t really planned on this outing; didn’t have a lot of cash and was wearing jeans, which can be a little rough on the girl, and which are harder for me to feel through. There were a couple of friendly guys outside, who asked how it was going. I told them OK and one said, “Same for me, but it wouldn’t do any good to complain anyway.” They made me welcome and comfortable going in, unlike some bouncer types. The music inside was loud, and it was dark coming in from the bright Phoenix sun. I found a place to sit next to the stage, and watched pretty much nothing for awhile. Two girls and two guys were sitting at the next table, not doing much but talking. The bar girl came by, very friendly. I didn’t really want anything with alcohol, so I ordered a diet coke, gave her my credit card and told her to run a tab. She told me refills were free, but I figured I’d put the dances on the card.

A girl started dancing on stage, and I watched her for awhile. She was good, showing her bottom a lot, but clothed. A Black girl sat down with me, and we hit it off pretty well. I couldn't catch her name - the music was loud and the name was hard. We talked for awhile -she's been working at becoming cosmetologist for a few months. I told her a little about myself, and eventually asked her, "How do you girls get paid." She explained about the $20 dances and the $10 VIP room, and I told her, "Let's go. Tell the barman, he's got my credit card." She explained that didn't work, but they had an ATM. Then she told me their ATM cost $8, but next door at a convenience store, it was only $2.50. I told I'd go for the $2.50, and she said she'd walk me over (which I thought was really nice), but had to get dressed to go outside first. I thought that was kind of inefficient, but certainly fun for me to walk around in the sunlight with a very pretty dancer. I waited for her and watched a different girl dancing in more revealing black two piece outfit.

At the store, I asked her how much should I get. She looked surprised and told me it depended on how many dances. I got $40, we walked back, and she had to go change again while I arranged for the VIP room. It took the barman a while to give me the change for a $20. The girl was back, the money was paid, and we walked into the VIP room, which is near the front. It has curtains that she pulled shut completely removing us from view. Nice, and it wasn't too dark; I like to see my lap dance girl. She told me to sit where ever I wanted - it looked like the room would hold 8 guys and as many girls. She sat next to me waiting for the next dance. We felt each other, her leg on mine, me feeling along her back and neck; very friendly.
