A Leap of Faith (Part 2)

Chapter 249 - Moulin Rouge

On the other side of Paris, Kara, Lena, Alura, Morgan, Eliza and Ruby all may have gone to bed for the evening, but Alex and Sam are just about to head out to start their night, and go to the Moulin Rouge club. It's going to be a late night for the two of them, but after they returned from shopping, they did have a nap together, and decided to order more room service, instead of going out for dinner, just so they could stay in their room, and do other stuff. However, right now, Sam and Alex are dressed up to the nines, and excited to be heading to the world-famous club, with them presently sitting in the car service car their hotel provides, driving them to the club.

"I have to say, I'm really not sure what to expect from this club." Alex says to Sam.

"What do you mean?" Sam asks.

"I mean, I know the club is famous. But..... I don't know if we are going to be walking into a sex club or something." Alex admits.

Sam can't help but laugh at Alex saying that.

"Babe." Sam says, with a smile, "From what I know, and have read, it's very much a burlesque club, with dancing, and things of that nature, not a standard club where there is a dance floor which you all crowd onto, with the music being really loud. It certainly is not a sex club. Although, in the past there may have been some prostitution going on there, but I don't think that is the case in modern times."

"Hmmm..... Okay." Alex nods, "As long as they serve some nice scotch, I'll be happy."

Sam laughs again at Alex saying that.

"You and Lena are really similar in that regard." Sam says.

"I can't help it if Lena and I both have good drinking tastes." Alex says.

Sam rolls her eyes at Alex saying that.

After this, Alex and Sam just look out of the window of their car ride, admiring the city of Paris at night, and all the lights, as they pass by it all. Eventually though, after about 20 minutes, their driver pulls up to the front of the Moulin Rouge club, with Alex and Sam seeing the famous red windmill, lit up in lights. Alex and Sam then proceed to thank their driver, before hopping out of the car, and heading inside the club itself.

Once Alex and Sam enter the club, or at least the main area of the club, they see a large dance floor in the middle of the club, with various small tables and seats surrounding it, and then two bars at either side of the room. No one is dancing on the stage right now, but that is likely because the club is just opening. There is some music playing though, as all the guests filter into the club.

"Let's go grab a table on the end there." Sam says, pointing to one of the tables.

"Okay." Alex nods.

Alex and Sam then go sit down at a table, and they soon have a look at the menus that are laid out on the tables. The couple see that while the club does not offer real proper meals, it does offer some snacky foods, along with a bunch of drinks, of course.

"Should we get some fries to share? And maybe a few other things?" Alex suggests.

"Sure." Sam nods, "I think we have to go up to one of the bars to order our drinks and food, and give them our table number."

"Okay. I can go up and order for us. What do you want to drink?" Alex asks.

"I'll have a red wine please." Sam says.

"Okay. I'll be back in a little while." Alex smiles.

Alex then gets up from the table and makes her way over to the bar, ordering the drinks and food for her and Sam. Thankfully, the bartender actually speaks good English, so Alex didn't have to struggle with the language barrier, as unlike Lena, she does not speak even a little bit of French. As part of Alex's DEO training, when she originally joined, she was required to learn the basics of a second language, but Alex chose Spanish, as she thought that would have been more appropriate given that she lives in California, which has a large Spanish speaking population, mostly from Mexico.
