Oh man, six o'clock comes early. I don't know how I woke up, but I looked at my wrist watch to see it was six. I jumped up, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and brushed my hair before putting it into a ponytail.
I found a clean pair of shorts and a T-shirt and was just opening the door when DeDe pulled up in small white pickup truck that had S&S air charter on the door, but along with that, there were cartoon characters all over it. She waved at me to get in, so I locked the trailer door and climbed in.
We only went a couple of blocks and parked with a bunch of golf carts in front of a huge manufactured home with an even bigger screened area attached to it. DeDe said, "This is the patio. Whenever you hear anyone refer to the patio, this is it. Come in, I'll introduce you around. We're a little shy on single men lately, but never fear, there will be some around."
When you walk into the screened room, you are met with the chatter of thirty or forty people. There were people having coffee, kids drinking milk and eating cereal, more kids sitting with parents eating breakfast sandwiches, and still more kids sitting together, talking. DeDe took me up to an area that looked like a bar. She said, "Sue, Steve, this is Gerry, a new tenant. She just moved in last night and I wanted you to meet her."
Sue said, "Nice to meet you, Gerry. I'm glad you came to visit us this morning. Feel free to join us in the morning and come for supper too if you want. We have a great time in the evening with a lot more people here than there is now."
The guy named Steve stuck out his hand and said, "Good that you're here with us, Gerry." He looked at Sue and said, "You should invite her to come over and play."
Sue laughed, "Down boy, you have enough women to take care of around here." She looked at me and said, "You'll have to forgive him, but he always thinks I will bring him a new toy when he sees a cute girl like you."
I blushed and said, "You two are both nice. Maybe I wouldn't mind being a toy."
DeDe said, "These two are something. You never know about them though. Let's get some coffee and something to eat."
When we poured two cups of coffee, DeDe introduced me to a nice older lady. "Gerry, this is Glenda, Glenda, Gerry, a new tenant. Glenda knows everyone out here and whatever you need to know, she can help. Glenda goes up to the pool most every morning to get some sun and visit with the ladies. She'll introduce you around."
Glenda smiled and said, "Talk to me anytime, Gerry. I'm usually right here on this patio most of the time. If you want to be a part of our family, the door is always open."
DeDe and I sat at one of the long tables and ate a breakfast sandwich along with our coffee. I asked, "I'm going to need some groceries. Where is the nearest store?"
"Just on the other side of the park is a nice little group of stores. There is a good beauty shop there too. You have to make an appointment in advance, but it's worth it. The lady has five beauticians and stylists there and the six of them are busy all the time. They are very nice, you'll like them."
I said, "Wow, it seems like everything is right here, close by. Where do you get your car worked on? I try to keep my old car serviced and after the long trip here, I'm sure it's time."
DeDe turned and hollered, "Hey, Mark, come here a second."
An older guy came over to us with his coffee cup and sat down. DeDe said, "This is Gerry, a new tenant, and probably a new friend of everyone. She needs her car serviced, can you do it or tell her where she can go get it done. She can afford to pay for it."
Mark reached across the table to shake my hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Gerry, you can probably take it to Tom Brown's Tuffy shop back in the business park. He's fair and is pretty quick. If you make an appointment, they'll do it fast. If you get in trouble, call me, I'll help you out." Mark handed me a card, then got up and went back to the group he had been sitting with.
"See," DeDe said, "this is a great place. The more people you meet, the more you'll like it. You don't act like a dirty leg, so you'll be popular out here. You'll have to watch yourself though, as a lot of the women out here do like good looking young things such as yourself. You saw the look Sue gave you. That was real. See that other short girl over there with Sue? That's Mercy, another of Steve's wives. She really likes women too. Don't be surprised if she corners you. Oh yeah, over there are Mandy and Sandy. Those two love women. They have guys, but that doesn't keep them from chasing each other and other girls. Then there is Mickey, the one in the Sheriff's deputy uniform. She and her roommate, Samantha, like each other and invite other girls to come visit. I know both have visited with Sue and Steve, so they're bi, but are very women oriented."
"My goodness, DeDe, do you know the private life of everyone out here?"
DeDe grinned, "Honey, there isn't that much privacy out here. When you live close like this, you get to know everyone and everything about each other. Don't be put off, as pretty soon you'll just let it all hang out. If they don't like the way you are, fuck em. You be who you want to be."
"And you used to be a dancer?" I asked.
"Star and me both. We danced for eight years. It took that long for me to finish all my pilot training and get an undergraduate degree. Hang on, you have to meet the man of my life, or should I say of our life."
A guy walked up to the table where we were and lifted DeDe right out of her chair to hug her and give her a kiss. He put her back down to repeat the action with Star, and with a drawl said, "Morning, loves of my life, who's this cute thing you've brought me this morning."
"You wish. You haven't been taking care of us enough lately. I think you've been pumpin' Star more than me lately. You're going to have to pay me more attention."
The man blushed, "How could that be darling? I know that last night was the first night I haven't spent with you in a month. I didn't get in from Wichita until almost two, and didn't think you would want me knockin' on your door."
DeDe said, "Star and I would have loved to have you. You could have been snuggled up between us."
Blushing again the man said, "We wouldn't have gotten much sleep. That's just too excitin' for words. Are you going to introduce me to this lady, or is she just passing through?"
DeDe said, "Wes, this is Gerry, Gerry, Wes."
I stuck my hand out and said, "Nice to meet you, Wes."
Wes' eyes opened big, "Uh oh, do I detect some Texas in that voice?"
"Northern Texas, around Dumas. I just left Canyon a few weeks ago."
He said, "Were you in school there?"
"I was, but dropped out my last semester for stupid reasons," I said. "Perhaps I can finish here."
DeDe said, "USF, right here in town, is a good school, and UCF in Orlando is also a good school."
I nodded, "I only need a few hours to graduate. I'll take my transcript over to USF to see how many of my hours will be accepted here."
Wes had left and came back with a cup of coffee and a sandwich, "What were you studying at Canyon?"
"Don't laugh, but I was interested in both geology and metallurgy. I've actually finished the geology hours I need, but have about eight to go in metallurgy."
Wes asked, "What were you planning on doing when you finished school?"
I said, "I thought I might work the oil fields or possibly work for one of the uranium mining companies. Both areas interest me. The other thing I was thinking of was possibly working with someone in the R&D field, bonding metals to use within composites for automobiles or other structures. I have an idea that would work for travel trailers, boats, cars, trucks. I think it would work, but a lot of research has to be done yet."
"You're in the right place, Honey. There is an R&D center right over there in the business park that is working on exactly that right now. You'll have to get with Dennis and Jeff. They are working on a composite body for a small aircraft."
I said, "That does sound interesting. First though, I'm into earning some money and catching up on getting my life back together."
Wes said, "When you're ready, have DeDe introduce you to Dennis, and perhaps you can help them out."
DeDe said, "Let me take Gerry back to her trailer and I'll meet you out at the airpark later."
I asked, "Do you really know how to fly?"
DeDe smiled, "I sure do. Do you want to learn how? Want to get involved in flying some of our charters. It'll take a lot of time and hours, but you too can fly for S&S if you want."
"Let me get settled and I'll take you up on that. It must be really neat to be able to fly places."
Wes said, "It's the greatest thing on earth. There is nothing like flying."
"Come on, let's get or Wes will be talking for the next week about flying."
When we got back to my trailer, before I got out of DeDe's truck I reached over and took her hand and squeezed it. "Thank you so much for renting to me and for introducing all those people to me. This is truly a new start for me."
"My pleasure, Gerry, I'm glad you want to fit in."
As I got out of the truck I asked, "Where's the laundry room at?"
DeDe said, "Just on the other side of the recreation building and pool. There is the laundry building, and then across the street is the mail kiosk. You can use change, or get a discount if you go to the office and buy a card. The office is across from the mail kiosk."
"Thanks, DeDe, I may work late tonight. I'm trying to build up a little extra right now."
DeDe smiled, "I know what you mean. Don't overdo it. You'll make more money if you're fresh and rested. See you later."
I watched her drive away then looked around. The trailer next to mine had a minivan in the driveway, and on the end away from the street it had a little fenced area with kids' toys; apparently a family with little ones.
Inside the trailer, I put my dirty clothes into a laundry basket that was in the closet and walked over to the office. Inside, I met a lady named Matty. I told her where I had moved while buying a laundry machine card.
After loading up two washers, I went outside to buy a newspaper from a vending machine. I read the paper, getting a feel for the area. There was a section called Law and Order. Right there in the newspaper was a source of happiness.
It said Randall Mortinson was arrested for soliciting, offering women for prostitution, receiving the proceeds of a prostitute, possession of stolen property, possession of a large quantity of both marijuana and cocaine, and was being held without bail as he was wanted by the state of Texas for several warrants. He was arrested along with two prostitutes as a result of a sting operation.
I smiled to myself, good riddance. I was the dumb blonde who went along with him. Thank goodness that's all that I did. I did think that I should probably go to a doctor or to that county clinic to get checked out. I'll look it up.
There was a pay telephone with a telephone book, so I did look up the county health clinic for testing. They even had a map in the phone book so I knew how to get there.
As soon as my clothes were dry, I went back to the trailer, put my clothes away, and dressed for work. I left off the panty hose and put on a pair of regular panties.
Thinking that I needed to count yesterday's money then find a bank, I sat at the kitchen table and counted. Oh my, thirteen hundred forty-six dollars. I kept out two hundred and some singles and got ready to deposit eleven hundred. Knowing I would need records, I booted up my laptop and set up an Excel worksheet with rows for dates and amounts. That should do it for right now. I entered the two amounts for my first two days then tried to find the internet. No problem, I hooked up to someone's wireless router instantly. I didn't want to mess with the net right now, so I logged off and shut down my laptop. Now off to make sure I'm not malignant or something.
The health clinic was a real eye opener. I was in line with a string of hookers. There were some men with worried looks and some swishy looking guys hanging onto each other, giggling. I guess they wanted to make sure they were okay before they did the deed.
It took longer for the wait than it did for the inspection and test. The nurse checked my pubes for bugs, took some swabs, and took some blood. She said that the results would be mailed to me and would be available in two business days. That would be next Monday.
On the way to the Mons Venus, I stopped at a Wendy's for a chicken sandwich then drove to the club. It was still before noon but there were several men already there watching some of the older dancers up on stage. The morning manager greeted me and said, "Hi, Tess, I'm Cindy."
"How did you know me?" I asked.
"Easy, Gladys has your picture up there on her "New Performers" board. She takes pictures of all the girls when they start. Nice to have you here, anyway. Do you want to start early today?"
"If you want me to, sure. I'll dance a set if you want, but I don't want to cut in on the regular girls' time."
Cindy said, "Don't worry, they would rather you do the teasing and they'll do the lap dances. You get 'em up and they'll take 'em down. The morning crowd isn't very generous, so don't break your butt trying to get them to part with their dollars."
I put on my thong, but not my panty hose. I thought I might save those for later. I did put my two garters around my wrist and would put them on during my dance.
After selecting my music and saying hi to a bouncer I had not met before, I waited for the dancer working to finish. As soon as her set was over, she was out on the floor naked, drumming up business. I went up on stage and did my strut around the stage to prime the men at the stage bar.
Cindy was right; these guys were more tight fisted than the men from yesterday. I did make about thirty bucks, so it wasn't a total bust. With my skirt and loose top on, I began working the floor, which was beginning to fill up a little. A clean looking guy in his thirties gave me fifty for a set and I went right to work on him. When I was rubbing my butt around on his zipper he whispered to me, "Don't take off your skirt. I like it to cover what you do."
The dumb blonde didn't put it together but I continued to give the guy a dance. During the second song I was again rubbing on his lap while he was cupping my small breasts and gently pinching my nipples. I was getting hot but oh well, that was what my fingers were for. When I slid across his lap I thought something felt funny and when I slid forward, I was impaled by a very live, very hard dick. It wasn't that long but it did give me a shock and almost made me cum. Knowing this was a no-no, I jumped up, turned around and slapped the asshole. Eddy, the new bouncer had been watching me and immediately had the guy by the collar and was half-dragging, half-walking him to the door with his dick still sticking out. The bouncer actually pitched the guy out into the parking lot then came back in and stood in front of me.
He said, "I saw him messing with his zipper and you still had your skirt on. I was thinking you were going to turn a trick right here in the club then you jumped up and slapped him. You went from almost being down the road to alright in my book. I hope you don't mind, but if I think there is some hanky-panky going on, I'm going to interrupt you. Hopefully, I'll keep you out of trouble. Now go back and wash yourself out. You don't know what that guy might be carrying."
I did go straight to the bathroom. There were some pre-mix douches on a shelf above the toilets, so I used one and washed myself out. Damn, that could be really bad. I was going to have to watch it. Now I know how those girls do it in the club. No wonder some of those back cushions smell like cum. Wet pussy I can understand, I just didn't understand the semen smell.
When I came back into the dressing room, Cindy stopped me. "You did good to slap that guy. He's the same guy that got another girl walked out of here recently. I took his picture on the way out and posted it by the cashier. Hopefully he won't sneak back in."
"Thanks, Cindy, that was a surprise. I wouldn't think someone would do that."
Cindy told me, "When these guys get horny, they'll do almost anything to get you to get them off. Just tell them to keep their dick in their pants and you rub them off. They'll get off without breaking the law or getting any on you." She actually giggled when she said that.
A little after noon, men began showing up making the club busy again. You could tell some were just at the club for lunchtime, but some were setting up to stay the afternoon. I can't imagine all these men with enough money to hang out at a strip bar all day long. Well, I was going to help them have fun and part with some of their cash.
About five, I was starved and told Gladys. She said, "We have a kid that will run down to Subway for us if you want. If you would rather, some of the girls go across the street for a steak or down the street for Chinese."
I said, "I'm up for a Subway, let's get the guy to go get them." Gladys made up an order for several girls and sent the young man after them. He was smart, because all the girls tipped him good for chasing food for us. Some of the girls had to have cigarettes, chewing gum, panty hose, and an assortment of things. He chased for all of the girls and I'm sure earned a decent living.
Again, somewhere around ten-thirty, I was burned out and hungry again. I found Gwen and asked if she minded if I went home. She actually hugged me saying, "You're a real trooper. You've worked hard since before noon. Go get some rest, as tomorrow night you might want to work a lot later. Friday and Saturday nights can be really good, especially when it comes around the fifteenth and thirtieth of the month. Don't come in until noon and take it easy during the day. Don't wear yourself out and you'll really make a killing. You did good today from what I've seen, but you have had to work hard to do it. Go have a good supper and go to bed."
I got the kid that chases food to walk me to my car then drove across the street where I bought a nice steak dinner to take home. On the way home, I stopped at a Circle K for a six pack so I could have a beer with my meal. Florida is a lot stricter than Texas. The guy studied my Texas license for a minute before he finally figured out I was twenty-one and sold me the six pack.
While I ate at home, I logged onto the internet and checked my e-mail. A lot of my friends were wondering where I was. I wrote all of them saying I had relocated to Tampa for a while. No sense in telling the world what a dumb blonde I had been.
With a full belly, I took a shower and lay down on the couch to watch TV.
I woke with a start. Wonder what time it is. It was light outside, so it was past seven or eight in the morning. I found my watch and saw it was almost nine.
After stretching, I found my two piece swimsuit and my tanning lotion. With a towel over my shoulder, I walked across the wide road and parking area and into the pool enclosure. Several ladies were already there, enjoying the warm morning sun. I walked over to join them and said, "Good morning, my name is Gerry. I'm new here, but I want to be friendly. Can I join you?"
All of them were smiling and one slim lady that was probably in her late fifties or so said, "I'm Caroline, and this lush next to me is Shirley. Next to her is Betty. Come lie down and get some sun. You sound like you might be from the south somewhere."
"Texas," I said.
"Well, Gerry, welcome to Florida. We're all retired or something like that, but you're welcome to join us anytime. If you need a man, ours may not be able to handle a young thing like you."
Shirley said, "I'll bet Mark would like to try though."
I said, "Is that the Mark that works on cars?"
Betty said, "Yes, that's the one. He's a good man and will help anyone."
"I met him at breakfast yesterday when DeDe took me. He's a nice man."
Caroline and Shirley said simultaneously, "We think so."
After slicking up, I was enjoying the sun when Caroline asked, "So what brings you to Florida?"
I was about to lie when I said, "I was a dumb blonde and was talked into coming here by a guy that wanted to use me. When I found out he wanted me to work on my back for him, I took off. I found some work, so now I'm going to enjoy living in Florida for a while."
Shirley had an impish grin and asked, "Are you Star and DeDe's new tenant; Candy's friend?"
I smiled, "That's me. News gets around, doesn't it?"
Caroline said, "We're nothing but a bunch of old gossips. We share news around here all morning, and the card playing ladies yak all afternoon and night. By the next day, most of the park knows what underwear you hung out to dry the day before."
This gave us all a laugh. I flipped over on my belly and Caroline gently began spreading lotion on my back. "Thanks, Caroline, that's nice."
Shirley said, "Better watch her, she's a little touchy feely with women."
"Shush, you slut," Caroline said. "Don't tell everyone we sleep together."
Betty laughed, "Would you two stop trying to out potty mouth the other. My goodness, you'll make this little girl think we're a bunch of old pervs or something."
The three ladies were really funny. I was glad to have met them and promised that I would visit with them most mornings for some sun. After an hour, I said, "I need to buy some clothes and should find a mall for some undies."
Caroline said, "You know Wal-Mart has all kinds of sexy thongs and stuff. There's a Wal-Mart right down the road here. There's a Target and a Penny's over near highway 54. The closest mall is over in Citrus Park. Another is going to open at the apex of 92 and 41, but that will be a while."
I said, "I'll check at Wal-Mart first, then try Penny's. I'll have to plan a trip to this Citrus Park Mall. Perhaps one or all of you would go with me."
Betty said, "I'm up for that. Maybe Caroline can borrow Mark's Escape. He hardly drives that thing anyway."
Caroline said, "Sounds like a plan, Gerry. We live at the end of the first street down by the highway. If you come down, you'll see my trailer with the big C on the front. Shirley and Betty live across the street. Come on down."
Shirley said, "If Mark has had a pill, perhaps we'll share our man with you."
Caroline said, "Don't be sharing Mark with just anyone. You know I'm the jealous kind."
I said, "That's okay. I'm not going to steal your man right now. I'll find one of my own one of these days."
Back in the trailer, I showered and dressed in shorts and T-shirt, but put some work clothes on hangers in the car. I found the Wal-Mart and sure enough, they had a variety of cheap skimpy thongs. I bought a couple dozen, thinking that now I might let guys buy them the way they were trying before. They had some micro minis, along with some cute loose cut-off tops, perfect for what I wanted them for. The skirts were perfect as one was a cute pleated A-line and the other two were also A-line but a solid color. They were actually for younger, shorter, girls but were perfect for me since my waist is so small. I have a small waist but a round bottom. A short skirt sticks way out proclaiming my nice backside.
I stopped at a cafeteria for a good early lunch then went into work. Gladys was just getting in and said, "Three girls have called in so we might be a little short handed tonight. That's going to be really tough on a Friday night. I'm going to try to call a couple of the retired girls to see if they might work. If you want, go ahead and take the next set as there is already a crowd. Hopefully, some of the housewives will stay a little long today."
By the time I went on stage, the club was packed. This was going to be crazy in here and it was only just after noon. I probably made over a hundred my first dance. Then I worked the floor and I know that first run through on the floor was worth damn near five hundred.
By five, some of the housewives were in the dressing room, talking about having made almost two grand. A couple were going to stay as the money was just too good today.
A Subway was supper again and I was dancing when I saw my landladies walk by. DeDe waved at me and mouthed, "Later."
I guess that was who Gladys was talking about. By nine when Gwen came in, there were people outside waiting to get in and those inside were having too good a time to leave. The guys weren't too bad, so my tits weren't bruised from being manhandled so much, but I had a few close calls with guys with their dicks out. George, the bouncer, looked frazzled and it wasn't even midnight yet.
Star came and got me and said, "We're going across the street for a steak real quick. Come with us and you'll be a lot fresher. We'll come back and do a three-way up on the shower stage. That will get us some dances for sure."
We had a decent little steak, then back on the shower stage we did everything but get down and eat each other. We were smokin' hot, almost illegal, but not across the line. We didn't lose any fingers if you know what I mean.
The shower did wash the sweat off us and did make us smell better. We put some perfume on and went right back to working the crowd.
Around four in the morning, I was sitting on a couch in the back, talking to a customer when Star came up to me and said, "Let's get out of here. This guy ain't buying anymore dances and you don't look capable of giving any more."
In the back, Gwen had me give her just the tip outs for everyone, but said, "Next weekend, you'll be paying management, so enjoy the extra money while you can."
Star said, "Gwen, I heard a lot of guys say they were back just to see Gerry. Now you should be paying her to show up to bring in the guys."
Gwen smiled, "Yeah, I know, I heard it too. The other girls are going to have to tip you out for bringing in the men. You're playing it straight and not letting the guys take any liberties. You're doing it right and you see that the guys are coming back for you. Just keep doing it like that and you'll be making a bundle."
As we went to our cars DeDe said, "Let's stop out at Park place and have breakfast. Follow us, Gerry, and we'll show you a great place for good food."
We drove out near the trailer park and parked by what looked like an old fashioned diner next to a bar and fancy restaurant, all in the same long
building. While we were eating, Star said, "I'll bet you made a bundle tonight. I know I did about eighteen hundred and DeDe did about that too. You were doing double what we were doing."
I said, "You really think so? I've never made more than the fourteen hundred the other night. I'll be happy with that."
DeDe said, "Honey, when that many guys are pushing each other aside to be next to get you to dance, you should charge double. They would pay. You were doing sets for fifty that those guys would have paid a hundred for. Christ almost every one of them had wet spots on their pants and they were smiling. Either you were really drooling on them or they were getting off on you."
I blushed and said, "I feel them cum in their pants when I rub on them. I know that's what they want and it really isn't very difficult to get them off at all."
DeDe laughed, "Star, this babe has got it down already. She's found the key to success. Enjoy it, Honey, I hope it lasts as long as you want it to."
Star said, "I enjoy coming in and dancing sometimes. It's kind of neat to have guys get off on you. DeDe and I have a new boyfriend, or rather DeDe does and shares, but he doesn't care if we go out to have fun like this. He says he going to come down and watch us soon."
I said, "You mean Wes? He's good looking, but you talk about him as if he's a nerd or something."
"The guy is pure pocket protector. Wes is in love with airplanes and engineering. If we didn't go over to his hangar and talk him into a little playtime, the man would never come get into our britches."
I had to laugh at DeDe's exclamation. I yawned and said, "Let's get home. I'm dead and I have to go back in at noon."
DeDe said, "Saturday can be busy. Let's go."
At home, I decided to count my money real quick and separated the bills. I had several hundreds, even more fifties, stacks of twenties, tens, and fives and a load of ones.
It took a while, but when I was done stacking money in bundles of a thousand dollars each, I sat back and stared. Four thousand, six hundred, twenty-four dollars.
Tears were rolling down my cheeks as I sat there staring at the money. When Grandma died, she left nothing. There was enough left after selling the house to pay off the funeral and pay for last year's books. Even with my scholarship, I was going to have been short housing and book money for this last year. This was unbelievable. I wonder how long I can keep this up? I wonder how long people will actually come and pay to watch me dance, or for me to rub around on them?
I separated forty-five hundred and got it ready to deposit and put the rest into my purse. This is so good. I didn't have to worry about buying food or gas for my car. I know my car insurance was coming up soon, so I would be able to afford insurance too.
It took me a long time to fall asleep. Just thinking about all that money had me trembling, or perhaps I was just giddy with happiness.
