Tabitha had only been to clubs in London a few times before. She had been mobbed by people and had not enjoyed the experience. Now, she felt totally anonymous and was so hopeful for more from this night.
Tabitha hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she wanted to dance or get a drink. She glanced at JK, who looked incredibly uncomfortable, probably both because of her surroundings and what Tabitha had her wearing. The poor woman could probably use a drink.
Tabitha led the way to the bar and ordered something sparkly and fizzy from the menu.
“Just a water for me, please.”
“Come on, JK, have a drink with me!”
“I can’t drink, Tab—I’m working.”
Oh. She supposed she should have thought of that. JK couldn’t do her job if she was under the influence.
Tabitha drained the rest of her drink. “Then come dance with me!”
JK nodded and stood up, following Tabitha out onto the dance floor. It was a mark of how successful the club was that it was packed at this time. Tabitha didn’t know much about clubs, but she knew that late late was generally their busiest period.
The music was upbeat and fun, and Tabitha immediately started dancing. She expected JK’s dance moves to be stiff and unnatural, given that JK was clearly uncomfortable with the whole club scene, but JK surprised her, dancing like she was born for it.
If she kept watching JK moving to the music, Tabitha knew she was going to lose control entirely and kiss her, so she deliberately looked away.
One woman in particular caught her eye. She was young and stunning, almost as attractive as JK. Tabitha danced her way over and the woman easily fell in behind her.
“I’m Rose,” she purred in Tabitha’s ear.
“Tabitha.” Tabitha grinned as Rose’s hands came to rest on her hips, the two of them swaying to the music.
Rose felt delectable against her, and Tabitha closed her eyes, imaging that it was JK.
Rose spun Tabitha around and the next thing Tabitha knew, she was being kissed for the very first time.
She was so surprised that her mouth fell open, and Rose took immediate advantage of it. Her tongue slithered into Tabitha’s mouth, and the feeling was so divine that Tabitha moaned and wrapped her arms around Rose’s neck, pulling her in closer.
The next thing she knew, she and Rose were being wrenched apart by an irate JK.
“Get out of here,” JK snapped at Rose.
“JK! What the hell?”
“Do you know what she is, Tab?”
“Should I?”
“Were you planning on paying for her time?”
Oh.Oh.Tabitha looked at Rose, who didn’t appear remotely abashed. “Just trying to make a living…girrrl… chill out…”
Tabitha felt tears threatening to spring forth. It had been her first kiss ever, and it had been a lie. She didn’t have any problem with sex workers, but she wanted her first time to be with someone who wanted her for her, not for her money.
Now, her first kiss could never be that.
She was just glad that JK had stopped her before it had gone any further.
“Tab? Are you alright?”
“I think I want to go home,” Tabitha whispered. She didn’t know if JK could hear her over the music or not, but she made a beeline for the door, and JK followed without question.
Tabitha bolted into the car. “Take us home, Jack,” she mumbled. JK got in after her and the car started moving. She turned away from JK, trying to hide her tears.
