Meet your Match

Burlesque

"Paul, can you close your mouth you act like you have never seen Bri before."

"Shut up Leah this is different." We all got quiet as the curtain came up and there was a vanity set up, there were girls sitting in front of the mirrors. I got a tingle over my body and looked up knowing that one of these girls was my fiancé. The music started and Bri started singing while looking in a mirror.

It's a cold and crazy world that's ragin' outside
Well baby me and all my girls are bringin' on the fire
Show a little leg, gotta shimmy your chest
It's a life, it's a style, it's a need, it's burlesque

E-X-P-R-E-S-S.
Love, sex, ladies no regrets
E-X-P-R-E-S-S.
Love, sex, ladies no regrets

Been holding down for quite some time
And finally, the moment's right
I love to make the people stare
They know I got that certain savoir faire

Fasten up, can you imagine what would happen if I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy, you'll never want to leave, baby that's guaranteed
(Why?)

It's a passion, and emotion, it's a fashion, burlesque
It'll move, goin' through you, so do what I do, burlesque
All ladies come put your grown up, boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It's burlesque.

I tease 'em 'til they're on the edge
They screamin' more for more and more they beg
I know it's me they come to see
My pleasure brings them to their knees

Fasten up, can you imagine what would happen if I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy, you'll never want to leave, baby let's give it to you
(Why?)

It's a passion, and emotion, it's a fashion, burlesque
It'll move, goin' through you, so do what I do, burlesque
All ladies come put your grown up, boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It's burlesque.

Bri had on a corset top with a design that looked like hands on her boobs and the shorts where the same only the handprint design was white. As she started singing and dancing all the other girls on stage with her disappeared, her sultry voice, the teasing me like crazy dance moves and the fact she was staring straight at me with each word she sung. I noticed a waitress set some drinks on the table and before Sam could grab it I grabbed one downing the entire drink in one gulp. I felt the liquor in it burn my throat but ignored it. I also chose to ignore the snicker I heard from my best friend.

"I think he's gonna bust a nut like he's 15 if she keeps this up."

"He probably already did." Jake chuckled.

"I'm not you two virgins." I growled not taking my eyes off her.

"I have Kim not a virgin."

"Me either."

"Since when baby alpha I know Bella didn't let you hit."

"No, but Veronica Williams did when we were 15 and me and Quil kind of got in dad and Harry's hooch."

"Didn't think you had it in you."

"That lady looks like Cher." I looked at Leah as she talked to Sam and Case and followed her eyes; by the bar was this middle-aged woman and some guy who were watching the performance very intently with smiles on their face.

"Oh that's Tess Harrison she's the owner of this place, she actually got her start in Hollywood by being a Cher impersonator, dude with her is Sean Tucci he's the clubs' seamstress, helps with rehearsal and other shit. He's been Tess's best friend since probably forever and both of them have taken to your sister very much."

"How long has Bri known them?"

"Since boot camp, Tess caught her one night randomly waiting tables here cause they were short-staffed and Bri just got up and started doing her own thing and Tess ended up giving her a job, Bri learned all the songs and dances by watching and when some girl got hurt she demanded a chance to show herself and ended up surprising the hell out of everyone. Tess looks at that kid like a daughter."

"That I do Walker, nice to meet you all I'm Tess, this is Sean."

"Nice to meet you."
