This happened quite a few times over the next few months. Veronica didn't really go to Seduction a lot, only when there was something she wanted to buy or some trip she wanted to take. It was a little easier to accept what was going on by now.
Over that course of time, Katy and her group of friends planned a girls' trip to Vegas. Well, the morning of the trip came, and Veronica and I stood outside our yard as Katy's friend, Tracy, came to pick her up to go to the airport. I hugged and kissed Katy goodbye, then Veronica hugged her.
"Ronica, please watch your dad, honey," Katy said out the window. "Make sure he isn't stuffing his face with Taco Paradise and Rooftop Burgers every night. Make sure he eats something healthy at least once."
"Shouldn't you be warning her about eating that and not me?" I joked back
"I mean both of you. Love you guys!"
"Have fun, honey, love you"
"Love you, mom!"
We waved and watched them pull out.
"Hey, Dad, I'm going to be back at Seduction tonight. A girl called in. I'm going to get some rest."
"Ok, sweetie," I said back.
1 am came, and I was still on the couch, just like every night Veronica worked at the club. Of course, I was worried about her, but I think what kept me up more was knowing what she was doing. Showing off her perfect body for all the guys in there. I needed some air. I threw some clothes on and went out for a late-night drive. I went around to the park, and back toward my old high school. I stopped by the old lake and got out to take in the view for a minute. I just needed a little time to relax. I sat there and cleared my mind for a minute, then got in and started driving again. I could swing by Seduction just to make sure she's ok. No, no stop that. Just head back home. She's fine, she's always been fine. So I turned the car on and pulled out of the parking lot. I blanked out as I began thinking about Veronica again.
What if some guy got too handsy? No that hasn't happened before, and I don't have a reason to believe it will tonight. But what if she goes back there to the F Section? No, she promised she wouldn't. Have faith in her. I got so lost in thought, that I didn't even realize that I had made the turn opposite of my house, and I was heading straight for Seduction. I kept telling myself I would turn around at the next place I had a chance to, but something just kept making me go forward. Something I could not explain. I pulled into the parking lot and started breathing pretty heavily when I saw the neon lights and the big "Seduction" sign. At that moment, something just came over me. It felt like I wasn't even in control of my body. I just felt myself get up and start walking in.
It must have been some kind of crazy coincidence. I grabbed a drink from the bar, and before I could even make it to my seat, the girl on stage started dancing. She was completely naked. Her hips moved side to side, her breasts bouncing with every move she made. She backed against the pole and started doing a split, then bent all the way down. She got on all fours, then looked up through the crowd with an insanely seductive look and that's when Veronica's eyes met mine. I saw the shocked look on her face as she realized who I was. We gazed at each other for what felt like forever, and it seemed like we were both too scared to even breathe. But, just like when I walked in, my body started acting on its own. I looked at her and slowly grabbed the chair and sat down. Veronica never took her eyes off mine, and she got back into her groove. She was shaking and grinding all over the place, glancing over at me every so often. There seemed to be some type of unspoken understanding between us at that moment. It was as if she was putting on a show specifically for me. The music came to an end, and she was back in a split, bent over the stage looking out over the crowd. She looked at me, made eye contact, and gave a quick smile before turning and leaving the stage. I sat for a moment, replaying what I had just seen over and over. I got up and drove home dazed. I couldn't even make it past the couch. I pulled my pants off right in the living room and jerked off right then and there. I got up afterward to shower and lay down. As I lay in bed, I started contemplating what was next. I had no idea how I would face Veronica the next morning. I stared at the ceiling until I eventually drifted away into a deep sleep.
I slept pretty late the next day. I woke up and just laid there. I couldn't find it in me to move. What was today going to be like? Would Veronica even come home? What would I say when I saw her? I sighed and got up to brush my teeth. I spent the next hour or so on the couch watching TV. Well, more like staring at the TV. My mind really couldn't focus on what was on. Then, the door opened, and Veronica walked in. I quickly sat up and tried to compose myself. I felt myself getting hot, and the anxiety was kicking in. I was a nervous wreck. Neither of us said anything for a while. We just looked at each other. Veronica walked over and sat down beside me, and looked away.
"Dad....," she said in a low, soft voice. "This.... I really don't even know... how to start."
"Ronica.... I....,"
"No, Dad. Just.....," she stopped and looked at the ceiling before letting out a big sigh. Then looked over at me. "Is this.... some kind of.... you know.... "thing" that you have?"
"Look Ronica, I..... I don't know what made me come there.... I just...."
"Dad," she cut me off, "I see all kinds of guys in there. Young guys, old guys, tall guys, fat guys..... but they all get that same look. I know it anywhere. Dad.... what is going on?"
"Ronica, really... I just....."
Veronica placed her hand on mine.
"It's ok, dad. Just tell me."
I don't know if it was the touch or the look in her eyes. Something just got the best of me at that moment.
"Dammit. Ronica.... the truth is, I haven't been the same since that night at Seduction. The image of you in that outfit, it just.... ugh!" I stopped and looked up at the ceiling. "I just can't get it out of my head. I know I'm not supposed to have these kinds of thoughts, and I know I must sound like some kind of twisted freak or something but...."
