It was 11:30pm by the time we
reached, “Banana’s”. After waiting for twenty minutes in a line, we were
scanned for any weapons, paid our way in and entered a dark loud warehouse like
club. Lights were flashing and drinks were spilling. Cameron grabbed my hand in
order to prevent from losing me in the tight crowd. I grabbed Larissa’s hand,
who grabbed Natalie’s who grabbed Phillips as we chained our way through to the
bar. Unfortunately since we were underage, we couldn’t order alcohol. Our
bright yellow wristbands gave it away in the darkness and under the black
lights. Cameron ordered us virgin daiquiris. Just because we couldn’t order
real drinks, didn’t mean people had to know they weren’t real. We then walked
towards a corner of the club as we drank our beverages. We got a few sexual
looks to which Cameron and I ignored. However Larissa was quick to catch the
eye of a sexy Asian girl who gestured her to come dance with her. Natalie was
standing next to Cameron, and Phillip was standing next to me as we watched the
filled dance floor waiting for a good song to come on. A shirtless guy came up
to me and Phillip and smiled.
“Hey gorgeous.” He said smiling
at Phillip
Phillip gulped his drink down in
shock. I looked at Natalie who simply smiled. Cameron chuckled waiting for a
reaction from Phillip.
“Uh, me?” he asked
“Yeah. Want to come dance? I
promise I’ll be gentle.” The hunky guy said tugging on Phillips belt around his
waist
Phillip flinched and stood up
straight.
“I can’t sorry. I’m here with my boyfriend.”
He said wrapping his arm around me
“Too bad.” He said with no shame
walking back into the crowd
Natalie, Cameron and I laughed.
Phillip still with his arm around me frowned.
“Why did you tell him I was your
boyfriend?” I asked, “You should have just told him Natalie was your
girlfriend.”
“I couldn’t do that.” He
explained
“Why not?” Cameron asked
“Dude…come on…this is a gay
club…they wouldn’t believe that.” He said
We just laughed at his answer
which was priceless. A good song came on as we all headed towards the dance
floor. We joined Larissa and her new friend enjoying the music. Surrounding the
dancefloor were four go-go dancers. Three were male and the fourth was a
female, or to which we think was a female, either way she was sexy. The dancers
were all very erotic and suggestive in their movements. During a song Cameron
and I were dancing to, Larissa leaned in.
“Hey…he looks familiar.” She said
looking at one of the dancers furthest from us
Cameron and I looked and he did
have a look that I wasn’t sure where I had seen him from. But I was sure I
didn’t know him.
“Maybe on T.V.?” Cameron
suggested
“Hm…I don’t know. Maybe.” Larissa
said leaving the subject alone
We continued to dance for another
twenty minutes before Phillip leaned in towards me.
“Can you come with me?” he asked
“Where to?” I asked
“The bathroom.” He said
“Phillip.” I chuckled
“Come on please…I’m scared.” He
said with sincerity
I looked at Cameron who smiled. I
kissed him and left him to dance with his sister and Larissa.
“Hold my hand.” Phillip said into
my ear
“What? Why?” I asked confused
“Because, so guys will think
we’re together.” He said sternly
“Oh jeez.” I said grabbing his
hand
We walked towards the back of the
club and to the bathrooms. All of the urinals were occupied and one of the
stalls was locked. There was a larger stall that was available.
“Come in with me.” Phillip
whispered
“No…you can go by yourself.” I
said nudging him
“What if…”
“Don’t worry; gay guys don’t just
appear out of thin air…” I chuckled
He entered the stall and locked
it, jiggling the door to make sure it didn’t open. I laughed at his
nervousness. One of the go-go dancers entered the bathroom and stood behind a
guy who was finishing up at the urinal. It was the guy that Larissa thought looked
familiar. He didn’t notice me, probably because it was somewhat dark in the
bathroom. From the side, I began to second guess my answer to Larissa. He kind
of does look familiar. I think it was on television that I had seen him, or
maybe an ad? The dancer finished and washed his hands, leaving the bathroom.
Phillip finally exited the stall and tried reaching for my hand.
“Wash your hands first, you
nasty.” I snapped at him
We walked out of the bathroom
hand in hand as I led him back to Natalie. They laughed at us as we returned.
“Did you get man handled?”
Natalie chuckled
“Shut up.” He said kissing her
“You guys make a cute couple.”
Cameron laughed
I pinched his side.
“Hey…you and I are even cuter
together though right?” I said
“Of course.” He said leaning in
to kiss me, slipping his tongue inside my mouth a couple times
“Gross guys. Go get a stall.”
Larissa pleaded
“That dancer looks so familiar.”
Natalie said
“I said the same thing!” Larissa
jumped in
“Now that I look at him again, he
does.” I said
“Come on, I want to get a closer
look.” Natalie said beginning to walk over
“Nat. We can’t just go up and
stare at him like a bunch of freaks.” Phillip said
“We won’t, we’ll dance next to
him so we can look at him up close. Maybe he’ll let you get really close
Phillip if you put a five in his underwear.” Larissa laughed
“Funny.” Phillip said flatly
We walked towards his go-go box
and danced a few feet away from him. He was muscular, trimmed body hair, shaved
chest. He was toned and definitely worked out a lot. He actually had a nice
ass, but not as nice as Cameron’s of course. His underwear seemed to fill up
pretty nicely as well. On his feet were black tennis shoes, white tube socks
with red stripes and red and white tight underwear. His dark hair was short and
spiked up. We were all gazing up at him trying to figure it out. He finally
noticed us and his face froze. At that moment…we all realized who he was.
“Nick!” Natalie said loudly
His face was filled with horror.
He jumped off the box and took off into the crowd.
“What the fuck!?” Phillip said in
shock
“I can’t believe what I just
seen!” Larissa said, who had also known Nick from high school.
“I need a drink.” Natalie said
“But we can’t drink.” I responded
“I just need some water on the
rocks please.” Natalie said which made me laugh
We headed back to the bar and
refilled our drinks. We noticed that Nick hadn’t returned to his box. A part of
me wanted to figure out what he was doing here. Cameron could care less. The
last time we had seen Nick was at high school as he was trying to bash our
faces in during lunch in the cafeteria. He had since been expelled from the
school.
“Look there he is.” Larissa
pointed as if she were scoping him out
“Wait guys. We don’t want to bombard
him. Maybe Joey and I should go and talk to him first.” Cameron suggested
We left them at the bar as we
headed in the direction we saw Nick. We walked outside to the outdoor patio
where we found Nick smoking a cigarette against the wall. He was in his go-go
outfit still, wearing a leather jacket since it was a little chilly out
tonight. He looked at us and blew smoke in our direction.
“What?” he said
“Nick?” I asked
“Yeah it’s me obviously. What do
you want?” he asked frustrated
“Jeez. How have you been?” I
asked stupidly
“What the fuck do you care?”
“Hey man, chill. We just haven’t
heard from you in two years…” Cameron said
“Thanks to you two.” He said
“Let’s not go down that road.”
Cameron said
“What are you guys doing here?”
he asked with irritation
“We’re just vacationing.” I said
“Oh and you decided to bring the
rest of the senior class with you.” He said in anger
“Nick. We don’t want to argue. We
just wanted to see how things were. And…why you were here in Seattle…at…this
club?” I asked stumbling over my words
“None of your Goddamn business.”
He said flicking his cigarette on the ground
“But why a gay club?” Cameron
pushed
“I need fucking money, alright!
And with my body and face, I make a lot of it. Satisfied? Are we done Diane
Sawyer?!” he said shoving past us and into the club
“Diane Sawyer?” I said under my
breath
“Come on.” Cameron said as he led
me back into the crowded club
We walked back towards our
friends. Natalie immediately wanted to know what happened. We filled them in
and weren’t surprised by Nick’s asshole responses.
“I don’t buy it.” Larissa said
“What do you mean?” Phillip asked
“He’s a flamer.” She said plainly
“What?! No…Nick isn’t gay. He hit
on me every chance he got.” Natalie explained
“And he banged a ton of girls…or
at least he bragged about it.” Phillip said
We all drank our beverages,
perplexed at our discovery.
