Tori

At the end of my second shift at the club I was summoned by a young black man for a dance. He wanted a dance with me and another barely legal stripper, Tori. He liked 'young perky tits'. Tori informed me that this was her first night. It being a slow night and me being an idiot I made a comment about the night being abnormally slow. I suppose I said it to comfort her. She looked so young and I didn't want her to be depressed over the lack of money I assumed she had made.

Turns out she had years on me concerning the sex industry. Over the next couple of weeks we talked. I think we were the youngest girls there, and that helped us instantly bond. We couldn't have been more different. She was a former prostitute, high school dropout trying to escape her abusive pimp and make her own money. I was a Georgia Tech student first time stripper.

She wasn't all that bright from what I could tell, but she had a past. She was so blase about the things she had done. One night she had asked me if I would 'fuck for money'-I told her that I would consider it, but it would depend on the money. She told me it was easy. "Usually the johns are really small so you just lay there and moan, (accompanied by sex noises) and you can't even feel it. They usually finish in like, five minutes." Here was this girl, younger than myself, talking about fucking strangers for money like most people would talk about the weather.

After work sometimes I'd drive her to various hotels. Hotels that would be accommodating the fake moans and small dicks. Usually we'd eat at Waffle House beforehand, and talk about silly shit. She was a funny kid.

Sometimes I'd feel bad for her, she was very pretty, gorgeous even. She was tall and thin and I used to wonder if she could have been a model. Not that the life of a model is any better , just more glamorous on the surface.

I quit without telling her, and I haven't seen or talked to her since. I still think about her a lot, and I wonder why Tori, a relatively small part of my life, made such an impact on me.
