Something's Changed (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 13

Deepika's POV

*Rewind to 30 minutes ago*

"This is your final night too, right chica?" The boss asked.

"Yeah boss, final one for the three of us today," I replied.

"I'm gonna miss you all because you're all my best employees and on top of that, you and Amelia were the best girls I had so I'm losing out on a lot. But, my doors are open if any of you want to come back and do a few shifts for me. Anyway get ready for your show because two important guests are coming tonight and they're all yours, I'll total up all of your remaining pay checks including this one and then I'll give you your final check before you leave tonight, okay?"

I nodded in recognition before the boss left me so that I could get ready for my show.

I had decided on performing to 'Dance For You' by Beyonce so I put on a red frilly bra with matching panties before covering that with the same dress that Beyonce wore in the video.

Then, I curled my hair into tight curls and left them to flow in relations to my side parting, leaving my side fringe to partially frame my face.

I applied some subtle pink eyeshadow, bronze blusher and pink lipstick.

Next I put on a pair of gloves that were similar to the ones that Beyonce wore in the video and I slipped on a bracelet on one hand and a ring on the other to hold them in place. I slipped on the black stockings and then slid my feet into the black heels that I had chosen from my personal collection.

When I was pleased with my appearance I left to go to the side of the stage and waited for my signal to go on.

On getting the signal, the music began and I sensually strode over to the stool which had been kept for me to use.

I was going to copy each and every move from the video and so I first went and sat down on the stool with my back to the audience.

I started with my first few moves when the singing began with 'I just wanna show you how much I appreciate you...' and then, when I had to turn around, I was faced with the shock of my life.

I was surprised to see Niall and Harry watching me perform but I was able to compose myself and not stop my performance in between.

When the lyrics continued with 'you'll never need 2 'cause I will be your number 1', I went to Niall's chaise and performed that section with him and then when I had to do the routine in the final minute or so, I did in front of Harry so that it was even.

As soon as I was finished, the music went off and then entire floor burst out with a thunder of clapping and I curtseyed in recognition and appreciation before leaving the stage.

I was walking back to my dressing room but before getting there, I was stopped by the boss who said that I was requested in the private VIP lounge so I had to go over there first.

I rushed into my personal dressing room and rummaged through my clothes rack to find a change of clothing. I slipped out of the dress, the gloves and the jewellery I was wearing and instead I put on a long, thin, wrap-over that had the name 'Peaches' stitched on the back because that was my stage name. I didn't bother changing my lingerie because it showed up inside my wrap-over which is how the 'customers' usually like it. I gathered my hair in one hand and set it on my left shoulder so that my name was visible; I slipped out of my black heels and put on a higher pair before setting out to go to the private VIP lounge.

On the way there, I was greeted by many males who had watched my dance and they stopped me to hand me money, which they stuffed in my underwear. I thanked them as I headed into the lounge I was required in.

Niall's POV

I sobered up during the dance because I hadn't drank much but I didn't know if Harry had or not. I cleared my eyes because I thought I was seeing things at first when the stripper came to my side but when I looked properly, I saw that my eyes weren't betraying me at all.

I recognised her to be Deepika whilst she performed in front of Harry so when we had done, I took Harry to the private lounge and asked the boss to send Deepika up. Meanwhile, I talked to Harry to see if he was now sober, "are you sober now and did you recognise her at all Harry?"

"Yeah I'm sober now Niall and I did recognise her. It was none other than Deepika," Harry replied.

"She was pretty good but why is she working at a strip club?"

"I don't know but we should ask her when she gets here because we need to know," Harry said.

"You can't deny that she looked well hot in that outfit though; we are the first people from our band to see her in such a sexy outfit," I exclaimed, the scenes of her dancing running constantly through my mind.

"True."
