I don't like to see straight people fucking on the stage.

That was what I told Zeke while we were on our way to the club where he work as a Manager. Natawa na lang siya dahil at some point, it happened, but mostly those things happened in the private rooms where a few men would have sex with one woman. So, it was like a gangbang, and he did say I was right.

It turned me on. I've never been in that position before and if I've got a chance to have two or men fucking me at the same time, it would be a dream. I have two holes for a reason and have two hands on the side.

Pagkarating namin sa club, ipinark lamang nito ang sasakyan niya. As I jumped out of his car, I would normally follow a person inside the premises, but to my surprise, he grabbed my hand and held it as we entered the building. I wouldn't deny na may iba akong nararamdaman sa mga ikinikilos ni Zeke para sa akin, but I also have to know that these gestures were only temporary and were present because we've got a thing going on. It wasn't a permanent thing obviously.

Tumuloy kami sa loob. It was a little dark in other areas, but what caught my attention was the loud music that was playing. Napasilip pa ako kung meron na bang sumasayaw sa stage, but Zeke told me na mamayang ten in the evening pa mag-start ang performances until midnight. Past two in the early morning ay diyan na raw nagsisimula ang mga hookups and all. All I could think now was all these sex workers could be living in heaven right now. I have no against to their job. Mas pabor pa nga ako as I knew it was honest job. Minsan napapaisip kung mag-porn star na lang ako, baka mas kumita pa ako.

Tumuloy kami sa second floor ng building where he said his office is. It was an enclosed office where he had his name hanging on the door. Pagkapasok namin sa loob ay super tidy and clean naman ito, but on the other hand, I could see some sex paraphernalia on the side which he immediately explained that those were just in-house awards received by the former managers and if he had one soon, he would be receiving it, and jokingly said, for being so ridiculously hot or training a lot of sexy performers? And he said, both.

There was a desk and a computer on it and behind was a swivel chair. In front of the desk were two chairs facing across each other which I found myself sitting into.

"So. . . This is where you work," komento ko habang nililingon ang paligid. "Pa'no mo naman nahanap 'to? I knew you said you just got this job for a few months so you must be new to all of what was happening here. . ."

Napangisi naman ito at saka pumwesto sa chair niya. "Well, it wasn't new for me to be in this kind of environment. I've been going in and out of strip clubs for most of my life and I knew what was happening. I actually visited this club two weeks before I got the job. Hayden and I were invited to a bachelor party of one of our good mates. Obviously, we had fun and there were performers on the stage which many of our friends loved. But I don't. I'm not sexually attracted to women anymore. To tell you a dirty secret about it, the groom had sex with the performer in one of the private rooms. No one spoke about it until now. I hope you won't say anything about it?"

"Of course! I love dirty secrets."

He chuckled. "Well, when I found out from the bar counter that they've posted a hiring poster for a manager, I came back a week after and applied for the job. The next thing I knew, I got a schedule for an interview and eventually got hired. It was quick and I loved it. So far, my experience here has been great, but you know, sometimes I just couldn't resist myself. Just like what I've told you about earlier, there are a lot of "straight" guys who would do such a thing with you. I experienced it first hand."

"Have you gotten down with some of them?" I asked and I didn't know what to expect with whatever answer he would say.

Tumango naman ito sa akin. Hindi naman siya big deal sa akin. Base pa lamang sa mga kinukwento niya sa akin, I knew he was sexually active so I wouldn't be surprised anymore if he would get down to any men who would invite him.

"Really? How many?" I asked, and continued, "Well if you don't mind sharing. . ."

He cleared his throat. "I don't mind. I only had two in here. I was new. It was just the first month of working here and I thought I should have fun as well. Many down-low men visited us every night so it wasn't hard to meet them, but I thought that I should stop it. I don't need to have sex with every man I find hot and sexy. I have to keep myself professional when I'm in my work place. I just realized that, but when I'm out of the office, these men could still find their way to connect with me on the gay app and we hooked up. That's just how it was. I don't care who they were. If they want to have fun. I will give them some fun."

"And I'm lucky to experience that kind of fun." Hagikgik ko pa. Tumayo naman ako at umikot ako sa mesa upang makalapit sa kanya. When I get closer to him, umupo ako sa lap niya and I kissed him. We were doing that for a bit when someone started knocking on the door.

"Shit," he hissed. "I'm hard. . ." he uttered under his breath. "Could you please open the door for me, Mitch?"

"Sure thing. . ." Before I left him, idinama ko pa ang crotch area niya at totoo ngang tinigasan siya. I think he was getting horny when he told me about those experiences he had that's why he sat down.

Nang pumunta naman ako sa pinto para pagbuksan kung sino man itong taong ito. Pagkabukas ko ay bumungad naman sa akin ang isang mid-thirties na naka-sunglass na babae. Makapal ang kilay nito, pero mukhang mataray. Nakangiti lang ako, pero mukhang aburido kaagad ito.

"Nandiyan ba si Zeke?" tanong pa nito.

"Yup. Come inside," pag-anyaya ko pa at saka ko ito pinatuloy sa loob.

Nang pumasok naman ito at nakita niya si Zeke na nasa mesa nito ay lumapit ito. She was just talking about something about one of the performers that wouldn't be able to perform tonight because they just found out she was pregnant and what they were hearing was that it was one of the customers a few weeks ago. Pansin ko naman ang pagkadismaya sa mukha nilang dalawa, and the fact that they couldn't do anything about it, but let the performer go because they can't risk a pregnant lady on the stage.

Nang papalabas ang babae, napatingin naman muli ito sa akin at itinuro ako. "I'm sorry. . . I didn't get your name. Who are you exactly and why are you here?"

"He's my friend," mabilis na pagsagot ni Zeke. Nilingon naman niya ito. "That's Mitchell, and Mitchell this is Zara. She's my assistant manger. She's the best."

"Yup. That's me." Muli naman niyang ibinalik ang tingin sa akin. "Nice to meet you, Zeke's friend. I gotta go now, but I'll see you around. . ."

When she walked out of the room and closed the door, natawa naman si Zeke pagkatingin ko sa kanya at saka ako naglakad pabalik sa kanya.

"What was that? That was weird though. . ."

He smirked. "Zara knew I was gay," pag-amin pa nito. "I didn't come out to her personally, but she said she knew I could be gay because she found me staring at some men. I'm not sure if she caught me and the guy who was sucking me off here in my office during my first month. She just barged into my room and the guy I invited in just dunk under the desk so she wouldn't find him. I guess, she found out. She's a keeper of secrets, very hard working, but you don't want to get into a fight with her because hell would lose if that happens."

"Oh, I won't get in her way," aniko. "But since we're already on this topic, does anyone know other than Zara you were gay?"

Umiling naman ito sa akin. "No. Just to be clear, I'm not publicly out. Hayden doesn't know I'm gay, but he knew I fooled around with men before. In my previous work, no one knew about it. I don't tell my secrets. I kept it for myself. The only people who knew about it were the people I hooked up with and nothing more."

"I see. . . And hey, there's nothing wrong with not being publicly out. I understand you and those people who chose not to. I knew there were a lot of things at stake there so I didn't push those people I met just because I made it easy for me. Everyone had their struggle to fight, I don't want to pull the trigger for them to question themselves and their choices in life."

"I totally agree with you," he said. "That's why I liked how your mind works, Mitch. I don't know you enough, but I felt like we've known each other for years."

"Well, we've got a lot of time to get to know each other. But for now, I don't want to bother you. You're at work and I won't like to be someone else who would stop you from working."

"No, not a problem, Mitch. I was the one who brought you here so you could see what I do," he said. "Why don't we come downstair and let me show you around? The performances will start soon so let's head down there."

Pumayag naman ako at sabay kaming lumabas ng office niya. He showed me around and talked me through things and how they operate here. I still find it so crazy and unbelievable that he was working in this place because he doesn't look like one. Habang inikot-ikot niya ako sa paligid, I noticed some guys were looking at our direction. Pabulong namang sinabi sa akin ni Zeke na tinitingnan kami nito just to see if we were down to go with them in the private room. One of the things I've noticed about the customers tonight, some of them are wearing rings on their fingers.

Naalala ko na naman si Hayden kaya out of nowhere, itinanong ko siya kay Zeke. "Did Hayden come back here after the bachelor party?"

Umiling naman ito sa akin. "Nope. He didn't. I don't think he would because he's married to Renee already."

"Well, I could see many married men out here. . ."

Napangisi naman ito. "That's not all of them, Mitch. I've already seen some familiar faces. If you look on the far right side, most of the customers there are in their fifties. It's either they have separated from their previous partner or widower. You could meet a lot of people in here. There were a lot of lies and secrets in this place, but what was going on in here, stays in this place only."

"Sure thing. . . All secrets should remain as secrets. . ." I muttered, and I followed Zeke backstage where I met some of the performers who were so sexy in their costumes.

I wasn't sexually attracted to them, but I found them so pretty that's why I think every man in this club right now would drool for them. I bet their dicks would get hard in a matter of seconds. After meeting them, we went out to go to the bar counter area where Zeke offered me a drink which I accepted without hesitation.

"Cheers for being the best twunk," he said which I found hilarious dahil kanina lamang ay hindi niya alam ang mga tawag do'n.

I chuckled. "Well, cheers for my sexy bull. . ."

We tossed our glasses together and we were sure, this night wouldn't end without fucking. Oh, good Lord. Thank you for bringing Zeke into my life.
