Him - G.D

Part 5

Emily

The club music pounds through the walls of the club as we get ready for another show. I sit there awaiting Steve's arrival to tell him the good news that I decided to stay as a dancer. Apparent word go out around town of my performance do the club is really busy tonight with fresh faces.

Allie is putting the makeup on her face and the concentration is real, she is so dedicated to looking her best for everyone out there. She claims that's what gets her the money but we all know that she has the best body here and no one can say otherwise.

I get tired of waiting for Steve so get up from my feeding table and walk towards his office. As I put my fist up to knock on the door I hear shouting from inside, I don't want to be nosey but i hear my name being mentioned so I put my ear up to the door.

"Listen here boy, you will NOT tell me who I can and can't have as a dancer in this place. This is my fucking club so take a seat and shut up" I hear Steve yell.

"Dad, she's my woman, I don't want any pervs looking at her when she's mine" I hear Jax yell back at his dad and I roll my eyes at the audacity that he thinks I am still his.

"She is not yours anymore, you made that choice by getting your dick wet somewhere else. You fucked it up and now she is enjoying herself and bringing a ton of money into this place. So you my son are off shift tonight. Go home and chill the fuck out. We will talk in the morning!" Steve ends the conversation and I hear shuffling before footsteps approach the door. I quickly run down the hall and hide behind something so they can't see me as Jax leaves the office slamming the door shut and walking toward the fire exit.

I wait a few minutes before walking towards the door and knocking lightly. "Come in" Steve's thunderous voice echoes through the door. I step in with some nerves creeping in my body knowing that he was having a conversation about me to my ex a few minutes prior.

"Emily, hi" he looks up from his desk.

"Hey, I just came here to tell you my decision" I say looking down at my fingers. "And I accept the job of dancer" I finish and look up to meet his eyes looking at me.

"Brilliant, I'll get the pay rise sorted for you as soon as possible and I can start interviews to replace your job on the bar" Steve goes on about a new contract and everything else for a while before it was time for me leave and get ready to go onstage.

I head back to the dressing room and tell Allie the good news and of course she gets to excited and makes a big deal about it. I choose a sexy red lace number tonight for my performance and practice my routine quick before applying my red lipstick and heading out to the crowd.

Once again I find myself here in a booth with the guys and Ethan pouring the liquor down my throat gradually feeling the relaxing sensation of the alcohol kicking in.

I'm waiting for that one girl that I haven't been able to stop thinking about hoping that she comes out again tonight. The place looks more busy than last time which I guess is a good thing. Ethan practically jumps in his seat anxiously waiting for Allie to come out. Poor guy is so desperate. He looks at me and smirks as the lights go down and the music starts to play, and Ethans head snaps towards the stage so fast his neck could of broken.

Allie comes on stage and dances while everyone cheers. Ethan cheering trying to be louder than everyone else so she will notice him. It seems to have worked as she comes over to the booth and sits on Ethans lap, you can see his eyes go wide with happiness and he's fighting the urge to not touch her as those are the rules. Allie grabs his hands and puts them on her ass with a smirk on her face. This display is making me nauseous so I exit the booth to head to the bathroom.

I do my business and as I wash my hands I look up and see the person that I really don't want to be seeing behind me smirking. "Grayson Dolan. The one and only"...

"Derek". I respond with no emotion and dry my hands. "What brings you to the side of town?" he asks still standing in the same place. "None of your business" I retort and leave the restroom and leave him there.

Derek and myself used to be best friend from junior high to college until I dropped out to help dad with the business. We lost all contact until I found out that he was part of the rival gang and turns out he was the person that stole my ex from me but that's a story for another time.

As I walk back into the club and back to the booth, Ethan is no where to be seen. "Where's Ethan?" I asked knowing that he's not in the bathroom otherwise we would of crossed paths. I look at the boys and they are smirking...

"Ethan went backstage with that Allie girl to get to know each other but we gotta keep it on the low because apparently they are not allowed to go backstage" Jared says before downing another shot of alcohol. I smile to myself thinking that if he gets his shot it will make him stop complaining and hopefully make him less of a sex pest for a few weeks.

I sit in the booth and wait for the final performance which will be from Emily. Ever since we have connected on social media we haven't messaged but I keep finding myself looking through her pictures. I hope that I can talk to her in person one day. Man what is wrong with me, I never get this strong connection with anyone since my ex and I don't even
know Emily, this could be dangerous.
