CHAPTER NINE
(chapter title – Out Tonight)
Hannah stepped out of her dressing room at the strip club where she worked called Wolf's Howl Club. She messed up her hair and licked her lips. Looking into the club, she picked out her prey. She smiled and slid down the pole in front of her. Christopher and her parents didn't know that she worked at Wolf's Howl Club, and she had no intention of telling them – only when the time was right.
"What's the time
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It says 'Time for danger'
It says 'I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
Wanna put on my tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger'
I've had a knack from way back
Breaking the rules once
I learned the games
Get up life's too quick
I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance in the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in too if you get in with me" Hannah kept eye contact with each of the men she gave a lap dance to. She had only been working at the club for a short time, but she eventually got used to it.
"Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play? Let's run away
We won't be back
Before it's New Year's Day
Take me out tonight! Woof!
When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That you're on line with the canine of Avenue C!" she sang, spinning in circles and making her way towards the Davis' loft where she knew that Christopher would be waiting for her.
"Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight
In the evening I've got to roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels too damn much like home
When the babies cry!" she tossed her work bag in her room and climbed the fire escape stairs to Christopher's loft.
"So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
Where all the scars from the
Nevers and maybes die
Let's go out tonight uh-huh
I have to go out tonight
You're sweet wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat?
Just take me out tonight" Hannah opened the window to the Davis' loft and went inside. The loft was dark except for the glare of the TV. She smiled wickedly, knowing that Christopher would surely want to do 'it' with her that night.
"Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight - tonight!" she crawled towards Christopher, who was sitting on the couch, watching TV. His eyes widened as Hannah pulled out a condom from her purse. Christopher shook his head as Hannah unzipped his pants.
"Hannah! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Christopher yelped, getting up from the couch and zipped his pants back up.
"C'mon baby. It's just harmless sex." Hannah told him, pouting. Christopher sighed and looked away.
"Sex is what gave Sara, Kaitlin and Mark HIV." Christopher told her, angrily.
"Christopher, why don't you want to make out with me? Do you have HIV?" Hannah inquired, her voice sweet.
"No, I don't." Christopher told her. "But my dad had AIDS and he died from it, Hannah. I don't want to die the way he did, Hannah."
