Walking into the freshly furneshed building, Vanity quickly spotted her best friend India.
It was the night of the grand opening of the hottest night club in Houston, Texes "777"
Bottle girls and dancers lined up like they were told to do, waiting on their boss Michelle Thornton.
Speaking of the devil, her expensive heels could be heard hitting against the wooden floor as she headed towards them.
Fixing her posture and her hair, Vanity took a deep breath preparing herself for the night ahead of her.
His strong cologne invaded their noses the closer he got to them, walking in behind his wife he scanned the room his eyes landing on Vanity's.
His gaze stayed on her a little longer than the other girls, her brown eyes staring back at him for a few seconds before switching her gaze onto Michelle who was now talking.
"hello ladies, as you all know tonight is the grand opening of "777" and I expect all of you to do your very best not only tonight but every night."
After a few more minutes of her talking, the dancers went into the dressing room to touch up their makeup, do their hair etc...
Sitting down beside her friend, Vanity grabbed the hot comb which was definitely living up to its name, sliding the tool across her hair she made a hissing sound as the heat of the comb made contact with her hair, she continued this action for a few minutes with different pieces of hair.
"Are you ready for tonight?" India asked adding more lip gloss onto her already glossy lips.
"yes, but I'm a little nervous since this is my first time" Vanity explained.
"you'll be fine, trust me but, you never told me what Paris said"
Paris was Vanity's Fiancé they'd gotten engaged six months ago but, the wedding planning was currently postponed.
"Girl, he's still mad about my new job here but he can't expect his pay check to cover my responsibilities, I got shit to do!" She explained getting irritated by just talking about it.
"He's a mess honestly, but tonight let's just forget about it go out there have fun, and make yo money fuck what he gotta say!" India said standing up to adjust her corset.
"I'm not gone trip about it, this is temporary anyway" Vanity said standing up as well getting ready to walk out.
Grabbing her arm, India pulled her closer to her looking her in the eyes.
"Just remember, here there are no rules, and everybody 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬"
Vanity nodded her head and they both walked out hand in hand.
"Here goes nothing" Vanity mumbled following India over to the bar.
