The black and blue marks still showed on B.The black and blue marks still showed on B.J. when Linda walked into the lounge to go to work at 8:45 Monday night, almost two days later! Linda, after almost two days of unholy crap from Johnny about her two after sunrise arrivals home, and four hundred and sixty bucks richer (John paid her $260 in cash Saturday morning and $200 in cash Sunday morning, though Linda thought it should have been vice-a-versa).........after the nearly two days to think about the remaining $400 and how she had to earn it the coming weekend, she walked fearfully back into the lounge to do her regular Monday Night dance shift from 9:00PM to 2:00AM. B.J. was, of course, surly as hell toward her, bitch that she was.... but John seemed quite normal and "ho-hum" about the whole thing.........almost cavalier, in fact. After a few words with him at the cash register, Linda was about to turn and head into the dressing room when she spotted the now familiar slightly bald headed, blue eyed, bearded face over the top of the stage platform in the same seat he'd occuppied on Friday Night........ .........and a shiver went up and down her tired frame. She hurried through dressing and making up and then came out and plugged three quarters into the box and zipped up onto the stage, about five minutes before the offical 9:00PM start for the dancers. Her first song, "You Light Up My Life", was done with only one person in mind and she made sure HE knew it. Their eyes never left each other in the platform's back mirror except for brief moments when Linda "kept it honest" to satisfy John and the rest of the gaping customers. The second and third songs were songs that had key words in them............words like "submission" and "slave" and "bondage" and having a "master".....well hidden in the lyrics, but.......THERE. As the "key words" came up in the songs, Linda made sure her hands and arms did the correct things,. |
