Tim And Abbie 81: Boxing Day Comes To An End

After all the excitement of Timara?s birth, Mark coming out, and Les and Phoebe moving in next door, things begin to calm down by mid-October. The weekly Thursday dinners continue, as do the football night at the sports bar.Timara?s baptism occurs during it all, which is lovely, especially as Tim and Abbie are named godparents. An honor they somewhat tremble over, but more so gush over. Timara finds gifts streaming down on her and a lovely start to a university savings account from her godparents by that Saturday.With all the changes going on, the one thing that has languished is Tim and Leslie?s chats with each other. Both with partners now and their busy lives, it just isn?t possible for the two to get together. Much less alone to talk about things. For the most part, it does not matter, but after Abbie revealing her feelings about aging, Tim would like someone to talk to about it.Though by chance, it does happens. One Tuesday night, Abbie is over at Martha?s cooing over Timara, and Phoebe is working at the Peacock. Pulling in the drive at the same time, Tim and Leslie wave to each other, and after a bit of small talk, realizing both are alone for the evening, Tim invites Leslie over.At this time, it is like she is Leslie again. The kind, second mother he had, has helped him sort out feelings and problems he faced growing up. Over a bottle of wine and dinner, Tim brings up his concern about Abbie?s worries about growing older. He asks Leslie if she knows any older transgender women who could talk with Abbie and help her feel easier about the aging process.Leslie laughs, replying, ?Tim, you knew a whole group who could help you. And even now would love to see you again, meet Abbie and talk with her for you. Don?t you remember the club Cyn did the books for all those years? Where she took you when you were very young? ?All the women there always ask about you and follow your career all these years. Both the strippers and transgender women, as does the owner. They all are so indebted for what your mother did for them over the years. They will never forget her or you.?Tim has visions of being in the dark lite bar with the different strippers practicing their numbers. Then the transgender women, who he would be in awe of, coming out to run through their acts. They bahis şirketleri all would have been only in their twenties or thirties then. So now, only mid-fifties at the most.Leslie tells him that many of the originals are now supervisors or trainers. The owner is soft-hearted and never kicks anyone out without cause. So as they age, he moves them to new positions as bartenders, trainers, or such as, younger women take their place on stage. Or gets them training to begin new careers. Something that Cyn helped start. So the legend of Cynthia lives on all these years.Tim is surprised that Leslie knows so much about the club still. He never knew she ever had any knowledge of it at the time. She explains that she and Cyn would go there now and then when Tim got older and could be left alone at night.They enjoyed the strippers and even the trans acts. Leslie laughs, remembering some of the lap dances she and Cyn had as comps from the owner or thanks from the girls for Cyn doing their taxes. Yes, April and May were fun months at the club each year.After Cyn died, Leslie only occasionally would visit. Often when feeling melancholy over Cyn. The owner would always join her on those evenings, and the two would end up rather drunk remembering and lifting drinks to her.Since Phoebe entered her life, Les has taken her there a few times, and she also enjoys the club and the fact that the girls are all friendly with Les. It is a much different evening than a night at the Peacock, but very stimulating for both of them.Leslie suggests that perhaps Tim and Abbie should visit the club. She and Phoebe would be happy to join them. Reintroduce Tim to the owner and the women who would be thrilled to see him. Leslie tells Tim they do know about his promotion and life now with Abbie. Of course, Leslie would have bragged about him.A bit embarrassed that they have been so interested in his life, while he had forgotten more or less all about them, Tim agrees. Plans are made for a visit on Saturday night.The next day, Les wastes no time calling the owner to tell him about the prodigal son?s return. He is overjoyed and immediately lets the main girls who remember Cynthia know so that they will be there. Even the acts are changed to highlight the transgender women and strippers still bahis firmaları working who were closest to Cynthia.It is like homecoming night. Everyone primping and putting on their best front for the long-awaited son to return. Tim did not realize how important this place had been to his mother. How much they cared for her. They knew about her bouts of depression and supported her through them. The help Cynthia offered them more than paid for the little they felt they could do in return.Tim, from a baby they all cooed and cuddled over, to watching grow up, to later taking pride in all his triumphs. When Tim got a bit older, and Cynthia felt it not proper to bring him into the club, they hung on her stories and pictures of his achievements and accomplishments. They felt they were part of his life. Even after Cynthia was gone, Leslie?s occasional visits fed their need to hear how he was doing.Tim, to all of them, was the son they never had. And when they learned about him and Abbie, they could not be happier for him. Though as mother hens, especially the transgender women, they worried about if he would get hurt.Before Saturday, Les talks a bit more with two of the transgender women who care about Tim - Shelia and Shirley. She explains Abbie?s concerns and Tim?s trying to find help for her. They understand Abbie?s worries as, at fifty, they have gone through the same thing. They thank Les for the heads up and chat about how they can try to ease Abbie?s concerns.As planned, the four, Les, Phoebe, Tim, and Abbie, head to the strip club, The Blue Angel Cabaret. There are three other such locations around south England, each is numbered two through four, but this is where it all started. Where Cynthia mainly worked. Abbie looks a bit curious as they walk into the door of the club.?This is the place my mother did the books for all those years,? Tim explains. ?Les told me how they still ask about me, and I thought it would be fun and nice to visit.? They are hardly in the door when the owner, a shorter plump man, Frank, comes up to them.Frank hugs Les first, next Phoebe, then holding Tim at arm?s length with tears in his eyes, says, ?Tim, I would know you anywhere, but so much more handsome even. How are you, son? It has been a long time.? He hugs Tim tightly. Then kaçak bahis siteleri turning to take Abbie into his arms, ?And this must be Abbie. She is even prettier than I pictured. Welcome, welcome.?He leads them up a ramp which ends with a row of doors to private suites looking down on the stage. The club is set up in an interesting manner. The main floor with the bar to the back has a downward ramp to the seats around the stage, looking up about four or five feet. Other tables moving back towards the bar are on rising levels. Up the ramp leads to the private suites. These look down around the stage about four or five feet. So both levels have a very close view of the acts. But neither can really touch the dancers. Instead, there are shelves and tubes that shuttle the money into a bin for the girls. To get to stroke or more, visitors must pay for lap dances and such.There is a high level of respect in The Blue Angel, and customers who do not follow the rules find they are not welcomed and are barred in the future. Frank is very protective of his girls and makes sure they are safe and do not feel forced to do anything they would not want to.The suite Frank leads them to is the primo room, facing center of the stage. Drinks are orders all around. Frank shows them how to press to get more. And not to worry, everything is on him tonight. He stays and chats some. He is overwhelming with his delight in Tim?s position in life now and tells Tim how proud Cynthia would have been of him.Then the conversation dies down as the first act begins.The lights lower, a spotlight beams on a lovely, older woman dressed in a bustier, panties, garter, and stockings. She is sitting backward on a chair. In a deep and scratchy voice, which is so sexy, she begins to sing, ?They call me naughty Lola.?Yes, the singer is older, but she is in great shape, and on looking closer, it becomes apparent that she is a transgender woman. Making the whole allusion being presented even more arousing. Yes, she is Greta [Garbo], and this is The Blue Angel Cabaret.Tim hugs Abbie to him and whispers, ?I can see you looking like that in twenty-five years, still so tempting and desirable.? Abbie squeezes his thigh in response. She is rather turned on by this woman, so graceful and sexy. She is not showing any signs of age.The singer goes on to sing, ?Those charming, alarming blond women,? putting everyone into a feeling of being in the cozy, warm, world of a bistro in Paris or Munich. A wonderful opening for the delights ahead.
