Atlanta, Georgia

Joe Anoa'i found himself being dragged by his friends and older brother to a strip club called Magic City for his 21st birthday. He was happy to get to hang with his boys, but he wasn't necessarily thrilled about spending his birthday at a strip club. Even as a senior defensive tackle and captain at Georgia Tech, Joe wasn't known for going out too much. Hence, it was a requirement by his older brother, cousins, and closest friends that they dragged him to the Holy grail of strip clubs in ATL as he celebrated his 21st birthday.

"You ready to have a good time, uce?!" asked Matt, Joe's older brother, as he held on to Joe's broad shoulders, shaking them. Joe's response wasn't audible as he smiled awkwardly. He trailed behind his group that consisted of his older brother Matt, his twin cousins Josh and Jon, and his two best friends and teammates Eric and Brian. The rest of his team was somewhere else already inside the packed club. Each man was carefully searched and paid the cover before being allowed inside. There was so many things going on that Joe couldn't focus on just one thing. The air was smoky and stuffy. Joe was finding it hard to breath, especially since it didn't smell that great once they were fully inside. It smelt of sweat, pressed ink, and liquor. There were girls hanging from 30" poles, women in skimpy clothing carrying bottle service, while big bulky men guarded every exit. Joe silently followed behind his group until they were among the rest of his friends.

"AHH man, birthday boy finally gracing us with his presence!" Shouted Calvin, another teammate and close friend of his. His friends cheered and egged him on as Joe attempted to get comfortable within their section.

"Is $100 good?' Matt shrugged his brother; Joe nodded as he watched Matt and his cousins take off. It wasn't too long before Matt reappeared with $100 in singles and a bottle girl followed close behind with a tray of shots and bottles of beers.

Once everyone had a drink in their hands, Matt shouted loudly over the blasting music. "Cheers to the birthday boy, baby bro I'm proud of ya." Joe looked down at two shot glasses filled to rim with tequila. 'Ahh, what the hell, it's my birthday,' thought Joe as he took both tequila shots to the head. His throat burned as he swallowed harshly. It wasn't long before the guys focused their attention on the women around them. Joe had never seen so many attractive women in his life all at one time. They came in all shapes, sizes, and skin tones. After a few more drinks, Joe was starting to loosen up and enjoy himself. He generously threw his $1 bills at the dancers. From across the club, Joe noticed one of the dancers glancing at him. She looked extremely familiar but Joe couldn't put his finger on where he had seen her before. Once their eyes locked, the young woman made her way over to Joe's section. It didn't take long for his crew to notice her presence as she set her target on the handsome college senior. Joe watched her strut over to him and felt his body tense up. Matt noticed his brother's reaction.

"Oh come on, Just relax bro, don't tell me you afraid of that?" Joe just shook his head. He had to admit she was extremely beautiful, even in the dark club lighting or maybe it was just the liquor in his system. Her skin was the color of pecans. Her curvy hips and plump breasts was laced in a red bra and thong set. Her thick auburn hair was pinned up on her head, leaving only the front strands loose. Out of all the girls working in the club, she had on the least amount of makeup. Her big hazel eyes glared at him seductively as she approached him. Her full red lips parted revealing her tongue as she licked her lips.

"Come with me." she smirked as she grabbed Joe by the hand and walked him over to a single chair. She pushed him down in the seat by his shoulders and slowly circled around him. Joe found himself admiring her voluptuous and round backside. She slowly circled in front of him, straddling his thick lap, releasing her hair, and shaking out her curls. Joe could hear his friends boisterous commentary circling him while she grinds on his lap. Joe could smell her distinct scent of lavender as she whispered in his ear, "Do you like it?" she asked in a seductive tone. Joe just gave her a half of a smile. The more she dry humped him and rubbed her soft skin all over him, Joe felt his manhood in his pants starting to tighten. He couldn't believe how aroused he had become. He could hear the rowdy men around him, howling like yard dogs. Joe then closed his eyes and tried to disappear away from the scene. His mind finally wandering back to where he knew this woman from.

It was freshmen year. He was back at Georgia Tech. He noticed his coach sitting across from him, along with his professor.

"If he doesn't improve his grades, I'm afraid he will have to leave the football team, until he improves," replied his professor.

"That shouldn't be necessary,' replied his coach.

'There must be another option."

"Come on, you know the rules, coach." his professor said. His coach just sat back in his seat, with his arms crossed. Both he and Joe knew he was one of the best players, if he had to stay on the bench, the team's chance on winning was slim.

"Okay, I have an idea. Maybe a tutor could help. I have a young woman named Alexis who could be helpful," the professor assured. Suddenly, a beautiful girl with warm golden skin, auburn hair, and hazel eyes walked in.

Joe jumped out of his flashback.

'That's it! That's where I know her from.' Joe thought opening his eyes. Without notice, he stood up from the chair causing the woman to fall on the floor. The crowd watching started to boo. Joe didn't mean for her to fall, he just couldn't let this continue. Joe mouthed the words sorry, but the woman just looked at him with disgust. He extended his hand to help her up, but she pushed his hand away. Some patrons in the crowd helped the woman to her feet. Before long, one of the big brute security guards walked over to the woman as she walked off. Joe watched him mouth something to her and Joe read her lips closely as she mouthed "everything is fine." The security guard shot Joe a weary look before walking away.

Joe just stood there embarrassed.

"Yo man. The hell was that?" asked Eric as he pushed Joe.

"I knew her," Joe replied still embarrassed.

"So what! You are supposed to be enjoying the women, not knocking the bitches down," Eric replied annoyed. Joe just stood there. He spotted the woman walking towards the back door. Matt turned to tell Joe something, but before he could utter a word, his brother shoved past him and ran towards the back of the stage.

I hope you enjoyed. I decided to rework this chapter along with the next one.

Please Review. It would mean a lot to me.
