Denise felt a bit dizzy as Dick led her through the front door of 'The Doll House', which was apparently some kind of nightclub. The club seemed rather large and was fairly unoccupied so far -- there was one group of college-age guys at a table across the floor, and the rest of the tables were empty. Dick led Denise over to the bar and smiled at the lady behind the counter.
"Hey Heather, this is my friend Denise. Get her whatever she wants, it's on my tab, ok?"
"You got it, Dick," Heather replied. "What'll it be, doll?" she grinned at the overwhelmed Denise.
"Umm...a Long Island ice tea, I guess..." Denise stammered.
Dick stood behind his teacher and wrapped his arms around her, leaning in to whisper in her ear. "I have a few things I need to attend to. It'll be a while before the club starts to fill up, so just sit here and relax, Heather will take good care of you, ok?"
"Okay," Denise breathed, as Heather placed a tall drink in front of her.
"Good girl," he whispered back. "I'll leave your egg on low for now, since you are doing so well." And he let go and walked away. Denise's eyes followed him as he headed around the stage area and through a swinging door. She glanced over quickly at the four young men at the far table, and noticed one of them returning her glance with a wink. She blushed a bit and quickly turned back around to face the bar, starting to sip her drink.
"Your first time here, Denise?" Heather asked as she tidied up behind the counter.
"Uh huh," Denise nodded as she sipped her drink.
Heather smiled. "Dick sure knows how to pick 'em. Just relax, like he said, and enjoy yourself, ok doll?"
"Sure...I'll try to," Denise answered as she continued to sip her drink. She was starting to relax, she thought. As the next few minutes passed, and she continued to drink, she started to forget about the buzzing going on between her legs. She barely noticed when Heather replaced her empty drink with another. She found herself wondering how long Dick was going to leave her alone there, when suddenly there was a tap on her shoulder.
Denise turned, expecting it to be Dick, but instead, it was the young man from across the club, the one who had winked at her.
"Hi there! I hope you don't mind me coming over here," he smiled. "And I hope your boyfriend doesn't mind either..."
"He-he's not really my b-boyfriend," Denise stammered.
"Oh, okay!" the young man exclaimed, still smiling. "I haven't seen you here before -- did you just start working here?"
"Working here?" Denise giggled in surprise. "Oh no, I don't work here...!"
"Well, you should," he replied. "This place pays better than any of the other clubs in town, I hear. Oh, my name is Chip, by the way." He took the empty stool next to her.
"I'm Denise," she answered back.
"Nice to meet you, Denise. My friends and I are seniors at Marshall-where do you go to school?"
Denise giggled again in surprise. "Oh my god, no, I'm not in school any more! Well, not exactly anyway...I'm a teacher!"
Chip's eyes lit up. "Wow, really? You must have just gotten your position this year, right? What are you, 22, 23?"
She couldn't help but giggle again. "I'm 38!"
"Stop pulling my leg, there's no way you're 38! You look...half that!"
Denise blushed hard and giggled as she opened her clutch and looked for her wallet - Dick had replaced it with a new one, and it took her a minute to figure out what it was. She reached inside and pulled out her driver's license, handing it to him.
"Wow...that's a really good ID, who did that for you?" he exclaimed. Heather had taken notice as well, and was looking over his shoulder at the license.
"That's the real thing," she said. "Trust me, it's my job to know. You really have taken care of yourself, doll!" she remarked to Denise.
Denise blushed and giggled again, as Chip handed the license back to her. "Wow, a 38-year-old teacher, in a place like this, on a school night? You are so brave," and he placed his hand on her right knee. Denise stiffened a bit, but didn't say or do anything to make him stop.
"What do you teach, Denise?" he asked, as his hand moved up a few inches, close to the bottom of her dress.
"Umm...I...high school...history...geography..." she breathed.
