The Stripper's Firsts

“I’m cumming Shein. Ahhh.” With a few more hard thrusts, the man, who’s obviously 10 years older than Hestia released his loudest moan and came down hard in the protection he's wearing.  The man fell down, unconscious, on top of Hestia. Hestia groaned at the weight of the man and scrunched up her nose to the scent of the guy. He was reeking of alcohol, cigarettes, and sweats. A smell that she can never get herself used to but she has to.   He didn’t even consider his weight, f*****g disgusting. After making sure that the guy was in a deep slumber. Hestia pushed the guy away from her body. The guy’s body fell beside her. Hestia stood up, collecting her clothes then walked towards the bathroom to clean every part of her body, especially down there. Hestia never cries after having s*x with strangers or hated her job. It’s not like someone forces her to do this. She’s doing this because she wants it, she wants to save her mother from freaking cancer or at least help her mother live longer. Sally, Hestia’s mother was once working in a casino. That’s where she got her lung cancer. One day, she went to the doctor because her chest is aching especially when she’s breathing deeply and laughing. After taking few tests, she learned that she has lung cancer and now on Stage 2A. She kept it to her daughter. She’s coming back to the hospital in secret. But when she was already scheduled for surgery, her daughter discovered it. Sally resigned to the casino, as Hestia commanded. She just applied to a factory near their apartment. But what they don’t know was her lung cancer recur after 2 years. When they discovered that her mother caught cancer again is when it’s already in stage 3B. Sally resigned at the factory and only stayed at home. Hestia, knowing that her salary as a private school teacher alone will never be enough for her mother’s treatment and for their basic necessities, decided to look for another job. She found a job in a strip club as a waitress and worked there every night while teaching every morning. Hestia was exhausted both physically and psychologically. But she can’t bear to stop or at least rest because as days passed, her mother kept getting weaker and weaker. When her mother’s cancer didn’t get any better and even went into a higher stage, Hestia was close to losing her mind in thinking of how can she earn more money. So when the manager of the strip club where she’s working asked her if she wants to be a stripper she didn’t even hesitate and immediately said yes. At first, she was so scared. She has 0 knowledge about that. What she only knew is strippers are dancing on the stage with little to no clothes. Hestia tried so hard. She worked so hard to learn everything she needs to learn and so she succeeded. Not only she became a ‘pro’ but she was considered as the gem of the club. Every night, she’s receiving offers for a special service that gets higher and higher every night. At first, she was so determined that she will never accept offers, but the payment for just one night is too hard for her to insist. First was supposed to be memorable, right? Something that you’ll love to reminisce with a smile on your lips, right?  But not for Hestia, never for her. She can even barely remember what happened that night and the face of the man who took her pureness. The very first time she had s*x with a stranger, she was nervous as hell and she was still a virgin. Everything that night is painful for her and the guy didn’t give a damn about that. He was so high to the fact that he was having s*x with a virgin. That night she cried and didn’t get a chance to sleep, she was disgusted by the guy, by herself, and by what she just did for money. But that’s only for the first few nights. As she gets used to it, she never cried again but still felt disgusted by the whole thing but still continuing doing her job. The fact is, all s****l i*********e with, she's faking her moans and forcing her orgasms. She never came because the s*x was mind-blowing. She was never turn on because of someone.  Hestia already got to sleep with a man doubled her age, a man who’s younger than her, and even with a girl. She doesn’t give a damn with choosing base on their looks, ages, and sexuality. The only thing she’s concern about who she’s sleeping with is if they can afford her. She’s a gem, she’s someone whose small entrepreneurs would never afford.   Hestia dried herself with the towel and wear the clothes she wore earlier to go there. After fixing herself, Hestia grabbed the bills on the bedside table and put them all in her wallet. Hestia has a rule for everyone she’s sleeping with. Everyone must put the payment for the night on the bedside table before they start. Because there’s no way Hestia will sleep with them in the same bed or even wait for them to wake up to get her payment for the night. Unlocking the door, Hestia didn’t even look back to check the guy. She just walked straight towards the elevator and straight to the exit of the building. When Hestia arrived at their house, it’s already past 2:00 in the morning. When she arrived at their place, all the lights in their place are turned off. She’s not even shocked at that. Her mom was in the hospital and her oh-so-called father if not’s home with a girl, will be out and take his girl somewhere. As Hestia flicked the lights on, she saw the scattered bottles of beers, cigarette butts, and chips. Hestia just walked past them towards her room. As soon as her body fell into the mattress, she fell asleep. It’s already past 9:00 in the morning when she wakes up. Doing her morning routine, cleaning the house a little bit, washing the dishes that she can’t even remember when they are used. It’s already 1:00 in the afternoon when she left their house. When she opened and stepped out of their apartment, she was greeted by their neighbors whispering towards each other. As she walked past them, she just rolled her eyes. She doesn’t need to hear their conversation just to know that she was the topic of their conversation. She was sure of that. They are talking about how immoral her job, how trash her life, and other things that were painful to hear but not anymore for her. Whatever they say, she will never be affected again. Who cares about honor? Who cares about the job title? Who cares if I’m selling my body for the sake of my mother? I don’t want honor. I don’t want to receive chocolates and gifts during teachers’ day if I can no longer share them with my mother. I don’t f*****g care anymore for myself, what I only think is my mother. “Hi, Mom.” Hestia kissed the top of her mother’s head and sit at the edge of the bed. “How are you feeling Mom?”  “I’m okay sweetie. How about my you?” Her Mom reached out to touch Hestia’s cheeks.  “I’m doing good Mom.” “My daughter is the most beautiful girl in this world.” “No Mom, you are.” Her mom wanted to laugh at that statement but she felt so weak and her chest is aching every time laughs so she just grinned. “I’m not beautiful anymore. Look, I’m bald and gaunt.” Hestia shook her head, not agreeing with her mother. “But you’re still the most beautiful and sexy in my eyes.” “Silly you. Did you eat lunch already?” Hestia just nods, checking the things she stuffed in her bag. “When are you going to introduce someone to me, Hestia?” Hestia sighed, getting tired of the conversation even though she hasn’t answered her Mom’s question. “Mom. I told you I don’t have someone to introduce to you and will never have.” “But sweetie we know that I don’t have that much time to live. We know that I’m-” “Mom.” Hestia called in an exasperated voice. “You know that I don’t want to talk about that right? We’re going to get you cured. It doesn’t matter even if it costs a million or a billion. I’ll do everything just to spend more days with you.” “I just want to see my daughter happy.” Sally said in a very sad tone, Hestia felt guilty for slightly raising her voice so she walks closer to her mom again and caressed her face. “But I’m happy already with you Mom. I don’t need anyone else.” “Sweetie, loving someone special gives you better and greater happiness like you’re walking in clouds. You felt so light. You felt like flying. I know that you’re happy by just the two of us but when I’m-” “Mom.” “gone, you’ll be alone and I don’t want that to happen. I want my daughter to be always happy with someone you love.” Hestia sighed as she looked at her mother. “Mom, I’m a stripper, a p********e. There’s already a bunch of people who used me just to satiate their desires and I’m getting paid at that. No one would ever want a partner like that.” Her mom slightly shook her head and reached out for her face. “You’re wrong princess. You’re beautiful, kind, and independent. There will be someone who will love you despite all of your flaws. It may be a girl or a boy. It doesn’t matter, what only matters is they love you."  "I just want to meet that person before you know.” Hestia just sighed, realizing that there’s no way she’ll win this conversation with her mom. “Fine. When I met that someone who will love me, I’ll introduce her to you.” “It’s a promise then.” Hestia just shook her head. Her mother is surely weak physically but her mental and psychological aspects still look perfect. -- “Hey, Shein. Did you ever realize that you’ve been sighing ever since you arrived here?” Hestia looked at her one and only friend in the bar, Karla, who’s also a stripper. “Mom is bothering me again about finding a partner.” Karla laughed out loud, getting the attention of other strippers. It was Saturday and only 4:00 in the afternoon. They are practicing for the performance tonight because there will be VVIP coming tonight, but they are currently on the break now. It will be going to be a group performance, but Hestia will have a solo performance after that. Hestia has work in the strip club every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On those days too, she will have a practice for the performance at 2:00 up until 4:00 or 5:00 depending on the choreography. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights, she’s working as a cashier in a convenience store. The pay was only enough to cover their basic necessities and the rent for the apartment. Everything she’s earning as a stripper and for doing special services only goes for her mother’s treatment.  “I hate my Mom when she’s talking about that.” “Yeah but I understand your Mom’s point.” “Even you Karla?” “No. I’m on your side. I just understand why your Mom is so pushy about that.” “It’s not like I’ll find someone anyway.” As Jack, the gay who's teaching them the choreography went back, they continued practicing until 4:30. Hestia was asked to stay for practicing the choreography of her solo performance later. Even though she’s tired already, she stayed and practice for hours. “You did great Shein! I’m sure you’ll slay the stage later!” Jack, also known as Jackie said while clapping his hands. “Thank you, Jack.” “That’s Jackie for you.” Hestia just laughed and drunk the remaining water in her water bottle. “Anyway, just do what you practiced for later and I’m sure you’ll make lots of money, you know, we'll have VVIP later.” Hestia just nods, still catching up with her breaths. Better make my performance great for greater money.
