It was her all right, definitely Kimberley Williams, the same cheeky confidence that she managed to exude even when standing perkily at a bus stop. I'd had the dubious pleasure of being responsible for Kimberley's education regarding twentieth century history. A subject that the pretty, but insolent sixteen year old couldn't have cared less about. She didn't really care for Archduke Ferdinand being assassinated in Sarajevo, or for the whys, wherefores or reasons for the rise of Adolf Hitler. Kimberley was stereotypical of her generation β dyed blonde hair, belly button piercing, cigarettes and alcopops β Kimberley's world.
Now, two years since she'd put the school gates behind her, there she stood with the same confident, slightly arrogant manner, waiting for a bus just outside the town centre.
Kimberley had caused me a fair degree of turmoil during the year or so that she had sat vacantly in my classroom. Nothing attributable to her in any direct sense, it was just that the blossoming young woman disturbed me a little. She was borderline polite to me, and never caused any disruption within class, but to be absolutely honest... I was a little afraid of the girl.
I have always been partial to the type of woman who somehow has an aura of being elegant and classy, but with an element of raw sexuality added to the mix, Kimberley had those qualities. She was a very, very pretty girl with blonde, straight hair, cute nose and huge blue eyes. Her ripening, not quite mature figure, was full breasted, narrow waisted and broad hipped, even as a schoolgirl, with her long, smooth legs perpetually on display, tantalising beneath her ridiculously short hemmed school kilt.
During her schooldays I'd frequently see the object of my fevered imaginings going off arm in arm with a hugely muscled, shaven headed, tattooed youth who would be waiting at the school gates in the afternoon. The hulking brute must have been her boyfriend, and I was surprised by her choice. Kimberley could have had her pick yet chose this neanderthal over everyone else.
I drove around the one-way system and approached the bus stop again. I had decided to offer Kimberley a lift to wherever she was going, a dangerous decision perhaps, but I had left it up to the sisters of fate to decide. If Kimberley were still waiting for the bus, I'd offer her the lift. If the bus had collected her during the time it took me to negotiate the town's traffic system β then so be it, an opportunity missed.
The Sisters of Wyrd decreed that Kimberley's path and mine should cross. She was still standing where I'd last seen her so I pulled over with the electric window humming down as the wheels stopped turning. 'Hello Kimberley, remember me?' My opening line designed to alleviate any suspicion in the young woman's mind as I accosted her. An attractive girl like her would be pestered by all manner of men, and I was keen to save myself any embarrassment or awkwardness.
She bent and peered into the car, the action giving me an unobstructed view of Kimberley's fine cleavage. 'Yeah... yeah, I do. Mr Clarke, innit?' Kimberley's face underwent a transformation from suspicious frown to a smile of recognition.
'Can I offer you a lift? I saw you there, and thought it was you...'
Kimberley didn't hesitate. 'Yeah, sure that'd be great.' She pulled on the door handle and eased herself onto the passenger seat, her tiny skirt riding high along her slender thighs. 'History, weren't it?' she asked, almost catching me in the act of taking a surreptitious glance at her long, tanned legs, and I threw the car into gear and rejoined the stream of traffic heading out of town.
'Yes, that's right. History it was; and history it still is,' I sighed, lamenting my sorry lot. Then I added brightly, 'And what do you do these days Kimberley?'
'Me?' The girl pointed at herself unnecessarily since there were only us present. 'Well... I do a bit o' dancin'. y'know, in the pub an' that.'
'Dancing?' I replied. 'Interesting'. A short pause, then 'Do you enjoy dancing, Kimberley?'
'Yeah, sorright,' she nodded at me as I drove. 'Get a few wankers in though,' the girl continued, then adding as she reddened slightly, 'Whoops, sorry Mr Clarke.'
'Hey, you're not in school now,' I laughed a little. 'Where do you want to go?' I asked, deftly changing the subject.
'Well I'm on me way to work now, as it 'appens,' Kimberley replied. 'Tiffany's, d'you know it?'
'I know where it is, but I've never been in.' I acknowledged. Tiffany's was a strip club just outside town, it's faΓ§ade gaudily painted with rough images depicting semi nude women. Not my sort of establishment at all.
'Fanks for the lift Mr Clarke,' Kimberley said pleasantly as I pulled up outside the club. Her politeness made me re evaluate my original assessment of the young woman; perhaps she'd matured in the two years since I'd last seen her. 'Why not come in and watch the show sometime,' she added. Then continued, 'I know it's a strip club, but I am gonna be a proper dancer someday. Anyway, I do Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays 2 till 7, an Sat'day night 7 till 11.' Then with a cheery wave, she was gone.
I drove home, my mind already filled with the long dormant, now suddenly re-awoken, images of Kimberley. That night I dreamt of her dancing. She was wearing her old school uniform and dancing just for me, slowly revealing her tight, delectable, young body as she removed her skimpy clothing away from her smooth, golden tanned frame, piece by piece.
Inevitably I masturbated. My cock was huge and my need urgent, and I knew that I would eventually take up Kimberley's invitation, succumbing to the temptation of seeing her dance. I would fight against it, but deep down I knew that I'd be visiting the sleazy club; it was only a matter of time.

I parked the car at the rear of the club. The car park was dark and uneven underfoot; I could feel the gravel crunching beneath my feet as I made my way to the rear door of the building. A burly 'gentleman' looked me up and down, assessing my suitability for entry, and I must have met whatever criteria was required since he stepped aside and allowed me access.
I paid my Β£5 entry fee to the sullen, bored faced woman behind a counter and was then enveloped by a cacophony of brash, harsh, blaring music as I made my way to the bar area. I ordered my drink and turned to watch through a fugue of cigarette smoke, the girl who was currently gyrating a short distance away from me on a small stage.
