That excitement was short-lived when Mike suddenly got some bad news to share. He had a friend who worked there as a bouncer and was going to get them in without a cover charge. He just called Mike to let him know that there was a kitchen fire at the club and the fire department had to come and stop it. The rest of the building was OK, but the club would have to be shut down for an unforeseeable amount of time.
“Sorry, Ethan,” said Mike. “Better luck next year.”
“It’s OK, I should’ve known when I saw how well my day was going,” said Ethan.
They all discussed whether or not they should try another strip club, but there weren’t many options where they lived. The only other one was more than an hour away; it was actually the club that Linda used to work at, but she didn’t say anything when they mentioned it. They discussed the idea of just going to a regular bar and drinking, thinking they could just go to a strip club another time. But they couldn’t settle on a place to go that was good enough for them.
“Guys, why not just hang out here?” said Linda. “You know we have a finished basement here with a bar.”
A long time ago, when Linda began to make some good money with her job, she converted the basement into a place where people could have some fun. There was a bar with a large assortment of liquor and beer, a pool table, a big-screen TV, and a seating area to watch it. They had a lot of family get-togethers there over the years, and Ethan and his friends always enjoyed hanging out in their basement.
“Yes, but the idea is to go to a bar so Ethan can finally use his real ID,” said David.
Ethan gave him a stern look when he said that. His mother was cool, but he wasn’t sure how cool she would be knowing he had a fake ID to go to bars with.
“David is right, but we can’t decide where to go, so let’s just hang out here in the basement,” said Ethan.
They all decided it was probably for the best and made their way down to the basement. At the bar, Ethan passed around whatever beer or preferred drink they wanted. Their main plans were to go to a strip club, not just a bar. But all things considered, they figured this was the best available option for them.
“It’s too bad, I was really looking forward to strippers tonight,” said Billy.
“I got so many dollar bills in my pocket, I have no idea what to do with them now,” said Mike.
“I was really looking forward to getting a lap dance,” said Becky. She was the only woman in their group of friends and was a lesbian. She didn’t like the idea of going to those clubs without a guy friend there with her.
“There will be other times,” said Ethan.
“Or maybe you can still have one,” said Linda. “As some of you all know, I used to be a stripper and–”
“Are you offering to–”
Ethan gave Billy a sharp jab to the arm before he finished that question.
“Although that does sound like a fun idea,” she replied with a little laugh. “I was going to say, I still know a few women who still dance and occasionally perform at parties. Mostly for bachelor parties, but they also do birthdays and other events. I’m sure I can get somebody to come here tonight for you all.”
Everyone was excited by that idea. Even Ethan’s excitement returned. While Linda made a few phone calls, Ethan and his friends continued drinking in the basement and playing pool. They also decided to finished off the birthday cake since they were already going to spend the evening in Ethan’s home.
Linda came down a while later with the good news.
“Ok, I made several calls and found one person who is available tonight, and she said she will be here within the hour,” said Linda.
She paused while giving everybody a chance to cheer to show their excitement.
“Who is she?” Becky asked.
“She goes by the name Diamond,” said Linda. “She’s blonde, beautiful, and has big tits. They’re fake, but I’m sure you all don’t care.”
“Will she do lap dances?” Billy asked.
“Yes, she said she would,” said Linda. She paused so they could cheer again. “Except for you, Ethan.”
“What? Why not me?” Ethan asked.
“Because for you, we’re doing a champagne court,” she revealed. “Which is thirty minutes of alone time with her and some champagne, just like how they do in the clubs. That will be my little gift for you.”
Everybody cheered again. A couple of them patted Ethan on the back, telling them how much they loved his mother.
A half hour later, Linda had to come back to the party for some bad news.
“I’m sorry everyone, but my friend’s mother slipped in the shower and broke her hip,” said Linda. “She has to take her to the hospital and won’t be coming tonight.”
Everybody groaned in disappointment.
“Of course, that will happen to me,” said Ethan. “Don’t get me wrong, I hope her mother is alright, but it just goes with the theme of how my birthdays have been.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t help make your birthday more special,” said Linda.
“Maybe you can strip for us, Ms. Myers,” Becky joked.
Ethan gave her an angry look.
“What? I know you’re not going to punch me in the arm,” she said, very smugly.
“No, but he will punch me in the arm for you, so quit it,” Billy said angrily to his sister.
“She’s joking, but why not?” said Linda.
Everyone laughed, even Ethan.
“Good one, mom,” said Ethan.
“I’m serious. Why don’t I put on a show for you all?”
Everyone went silent when they realized that Linda was being serious.
“You can’t be serious, mom,” said Ethan.
“Why not? I still have the moves and the body for it, and I really don’t mind showing off what I’ve got. I can come out of retirement for one night and perform for you all.”
Everyone was still silent for a very long time.
“Well, why not?” said David.
Ethan was about to punch David in the arm before someone else spoke.
“If you really want to, it could be fun,” said Jaylen.
“I was joking, but if you’re willing to give us a show, I’d like to see it,” said Becky.
Billy and Mike also agreed that it was a good idea. Ethan just stood back, stunned that his closest friends were agreeing to let his mother perform a strip show for them. It was one thing when his friends joked about how hot she was; it was something that all friends do about each other’s mothers. But it was another thing to actually let it go this far.
Ethan started yelling at his friends about this. They argued back that it was just this one night, and it could be a lot of fun. The argument kept going until Linda intervened by taking her son away from them to the other side of the room to have a private conversation with him.
“You can’t be serious about getting naked for my friends,” said Ethan.
“I am serious; it could be a lot of fun,” said Linda. “I kind of miss it, and this may be a good opportunity to perform one last time.”
“I can’t believe I’m trying to convince my mother not to strip for my friends,” Ethan said as he rubbed his temples from the migraine he was suddenly feeling. “My birthday curse just keeps getting worse and worse.”
“It doesn’t have to be a curse if you enjoy it,” said Linda.
“I’m not going to enjoy seeing my mother naked.”
“Why not? It’s not the first time you’ve seen me naked.”
“Those were accidents,” said Ethan. “It happens when you forget to close the door to your bedroom, or the bathroom, or a couple of times when you thought it was OK to change your clothes in the laundry room for some reason.”
“And the few times you caught me sun-bathing topless in the backyard,” she reminded him.
“Now I have to ask, was that all by accident, or was any of that on purpose? Because that seems to be the case a lot of times, I’ve seen you naked.”
“They were all accidents,” she assured him. “But at the same time, I don’t have a lot of modesty, so I don’t mind getting naked in front of people, even in front of my own son. In fact, if you weren’t such a prude about it, I’d be walking around the house naked a lot more often.”
“I can’t believe my mother is upset that I don’t want to see her naked,” he said, feeling very annoyed by the situation.
“Well, you don’t have to see me strip if you don’t want to,” said Linda. “I’ll just perform for your friends while you sulk in your room all night about it.”
“So, you’re going to do this whether I’m ok with it or not?”
“Yes,” she answered. “So, you might as well stick around to make sure things don’t get out of hand. And who knows? You may enjoy the show yourself.”
Ethan had to think hard about this. His mother was going to strip whether he liked it or not, and as much as he liked his friends, he didn’t trust them enough to not try anything with her if he wasn’t around. He figured he might as well stick around for supervision.
Also, he had to admit he might actually enjoy himself because even he thought his mother was a sexy woman. As much as he felt embarrassed over the years whenever he accidentally saw her naked, he did like what he saw. For a woman in her early forties, she kept herself in very good shape. He did find her very attractive; so much so, she showed up in a few wet dreams he had about her.
“Ok, I’ll stick around, but only to keep an eye on things,” said Ethan. “Also, I’m going to have to insist on setting some ground rules with them when you do this.”
“As long as the rules are reasonable, I’m willing to go with it if it makes you feel comfortable with everything,” said Linda.
They went back to his friends, who were awaiting their answer about Linda’s offer to perform for them.
“Ok guys, I’ve decided to let my mother perform for us,” said Ethan, and everyone cheered. “But there will be some ground rules.”
