“If you’re happy and you know it and you really wanna show it. If you’re happy and you know it show your tits,”

With beaming faces the girls stand proudly at the side of Jasper.

“Is there a man in the audience that you would like to fuck? Don’t say me.” Jasper holds the bottom of the girl’s chin. She clenches her fingers and shakes like she is trying to calm down her nerves.

To a normal person this would be too much. But this is Nowhere…nothing is too much here. The girl nods and points to the audience.

“Jasper is crazy as fuck, but I like this,” Cole says as he reaches for a canapé.

A tall man makes his way on the stage and sits on a chair.

Jasper places his foot on a speaker and leans on his knee. “You two ready?”

In one voice, they all scream, “Yes.”

The strobe lighting flickers over the stage, the one spotlight lands on the lady in the lingerie and the man on the chair.

Jasper’s voice comes out of the darkness, “If you’re happy and you know it…ride his dick.”

“Well, this is new?” Cole says. I can’t even respond. Dax and I are too stunned to speak.

“I think Jasper just created a new segment for a show in Nowhere.” Cole stands and shouts encouraging the people on the stage.

Both Dax and I stand in awe as we watch a couple have sex, because Jasper sang it.

“Ride his dick!” Cole shouts, and the chants spreads through the audience.

Months ago, I would have been screaming like Cole to the top of my voice. Instead, I stand in silence while watching a couple screw each other and I feel nothing. Is this what an out-of-body experience feels like? Me standing on the outskirts of a crowd, watching, waiting for the old me to rejoice at the debauchery on stage. Am I losing myself?

My shoulder is shoved hard, and I look across at Dax. “What?”

“You, okay?” Dax asked.

Cole stops chanting and looks back at Dax and me.

I nod and said with a cunning smile. “I am. I just realized that we haven’t gotten fucked up in a while. We are due.”

A slow grin spreads over Cole’s face. “My man.” He raises hand across the table and pounds my fist.

Dax nods, not believing me. “Well…let’s get fucked up.”

It doesn’t take long for the porno sing-along to come to an end. Jasper jumps off stage, a cute girl who is topless stops in front of him and he bends to talk to her.

“What the fuck is he doing now?” Dax grumbles.

Jasper takes off his shirt and passes it to her. She in turn takes out tube of lipstick and writes something on his chest.

“Look at that shit-eating grin,” I comment.

We all begin to clap as Jasper comes back to his seat. He pauses and bows. “See I can sing shit and people will eat it up.”

“I don’t think it’s shit. Tarek is about to add this to Nowhere.” Cole claps Jasper in the back.

With a look of horror on his face Jasper looks at me. “Say no.”

“I’m about to order some more alcohol and see if any of the Brooks brothers are here. I need a BX3.”

The mood I am in, I need something that will fuck my head up and shut my heart down. It’s about to be a long night.
