situated and she took her items to the register to pay.
“Okay, now let’s go see Lola.” Melody smiled as she held four bags in her arms.
Lola’s wasn’t in the mall, luckily, because my arms were killing me from carrying the bags of clothes.
We made it to Lola’s Leather and Lace store just before she closed. The little shop was in the back of a strip mall. Her store had a little bit of everything from simple little outfits, to bikinis, and long elegant dresses—well, elegant enough for a strip club.
“Hey, Lola.” We greeted her as we walked in. I loved Lola. She was full of sass. The first time I ever came into her store she was nothing but helpful. She told me bits and pieces of her story and how she ended up a stripper. I guess every one’s story is a little bit different. Lola’s was one of mystery. I still haven’t been able to put the pieces together although by the look in her eyes as she tells it, it’s clear she has lived a life full of regrets and sorrow.
“Well, look who it is.” Lola came out from behind the counter to hug Jade. Her graying hair lying in loose curls. “How have you been, hon?”
“Good, and how is business, Lola?”
“Even better now that you brought Melody in. This girl is one of my favorite customers.” She smiled as she watched Melody run around the store grabbing items and shuffling through the bins of T-bars.
“Lola, do you have anything in hot pink?” Melody asked as she continued to rummage through the store.
“Depends, do you want dresses, two piece outfits, or bikinis?” she asked as she went to help Melody find what she needed.
I browsed through the store to see if anything caught my eye. I had plenty of work clothes, but some days wearing a new outfit makes a huge difference.
“Faith, you may want to grab some boobie tape for that shirt you got. Don’t want the ladies to pop out tomorrow.”
Shit . I didn’t even think about that. Then again, it’s not like I would be having any nipple slips, more like scar slips. I frowned as I considered it. All day I felt normal and it’s the little things that bring everything rushing back to my head. We finished up our shopping at Lola’s and I dropped Jade and Melody off at their cars.
“You guys just want to meet at my place and we can head out from there?” I asked them as they were getting out of my car.
“Yeah sounds good. Text me the address and we will see you tomorrow around six. Sound good?” Jade asked.
“Sounds good,” I answered.
I spent the rest of the night watching my new cats sleep. I’m not sure what I expected. I tried to entice them with one of the toys. It was one of those sticks with a little fish on the end of a string. I spent what seemed like an hour trying to get them interested in it with no avail. They just lay there giving me a stink eye. So much for them being entertaining.
When I realized the cats were not going to be a source of distraction, my mind started to wander. The more I thought about going out for drinks tomorrow, the more nervous I got. I started thinking that maybe we should go somewhere else. Should I wear my wig or no? Do I really want to do this? There were so many things going through my head. No, I needed this. I needed to stop looking for excuses not to live my life.
I needed to relax. Get the doubts out of my head. Tomorrow I would be just like any other twenty-one-year-old girl going out for drinks with some friends.
Chapter Fifteen
Tonight, I would be normal, live my life. Go out and have fun. I lay in bed thinking these things, yet I couldn’t get myself motivated to get up. I stared at the ceiling trying to talk myself out of thinking of excuses. My phone beeped, causing both cats to sit up at the same time, both with looks in their eyes that could kill. Like, how dare you interrupt my sleep?
It was a text from Melody.
GIRLS’ NIGHT!
I texted back, hoping she wouldn’t see through
