Good news

The bruises healed, although it took a while with my skin, so pale... The Fish Bowl was as full as ever, business was good. I was in a good mood, since my bank account was quite fat. I love shopping, especially for shoes and lingerie, but here the big news: I was ready to buy my own place! I felt that a dream was finally within reach, so it didn't take much effort to be merry and lighten up the mood of my customers.

One evening I felt euphoric enough to keep company to two gentlemen at the same time. They had come to sit near me as if they had a plan, one at my left, one at my right, and they immediately started a conversation that sounded a bit rehearsed in advance... of course they were full of compliments, they made me understand they were good friends who liked to share the rest of the evening with me, since they admired me so much... I knew the type, so I happily proceeded to make them spend an awful lot of money for champagne. Of course no one wanted to look shallow-pocketed in front of the other, and the bill soon became quite heavy. We were going to order our third outrageously expensive bottle, when the Manager called me. I wondered why he distracted me from a very promising job, but I was delighted to hear that my performance had been so good in the past weeks, that the bar Management wished to give me a special bonus: not only a handsome check, but also a pole dancing course! I had always wished to follow one, I thought I could have talent for it... and again it could have been good for the business. I was so enthusiastic, that I really made sure to give an unforgettable night to my two very talkative, very generous and very tipsy friends.
