His Viper

Chapter 1; Mr. Mafia

SCARLETT

I walked down the streets of New York towards the strip club. I feel somebody walking up close behind me. I took a step to the left to let them pass by but they stayed walking behind me slowing down as I did. being on high alert I keep walking, and I can see the club not that far ahead. I bite My lip and pull the front of my hat down covering more of my face. I start to speed walk towards the club finally standing outside of it I look up and make eye contact with the bouncer I don't need to say who I am I've been working here for a while, he just moved aside and let me walk in. I quickly pushed past the bouncer making my way inside of the club and hearing a few people greet me. I glanced behind me and saw that the man was following me. How the fuck did he get past the bouncer This place may be for creepy men who like staring at naked women but it's a gentleman's club a high-end at that, not anybody can just come in. pushed the thoughts away. I'm probably just overreacting maybe he wasn't following me and he was just going to the club as well.

I kept my eyes peeled watching the man as I made my way towards the changing room. I watched him pull down his hoodie and walk up behind one of the bartenders before placing his hands on the back of her shoulders. my body went tense ready to pull out the knife I had tucked in my shoe.

"Oh my god baby!" the bartender screeched. I let out of breath I didn't know I was holding. so he wasn't following me. God Scarlett not everything is about you doesn't matter how many enemies you have not everybody's after you.

"Hey scar" I heard Thomas say as I entered the changing rooms. I gave him a small smile and waved avoiding eye contact. " are you okay?" he asked me getting closer. I quickly turned my face away from him.

"I'm fine" I mumbled under my breath. I quickly pulled off my hoodie and sweatpants tossing them into the locker.

"Okay.. well I just wanted to-" he stopped talking when I pulled off my hat "What the fuck happened to your face?" He gently grabbed a hold of my chin pulling me towards him so he could get a better look.

" it's nothing" I mumbled slightly annoyed.

" don't give me that shit Scarlett you have a black fucking eye and a busted lip," Thomas said pulling me towards the makeup table. I pressed my lips into a thin line refusing to talk to him or give him answers. " look I know you can be stubborn but I'm not letting you go out like this" he said. understandably, he wouldn't want me out on stage like this he wouldn't want any of his loyal customers, especially the ones that are very fond of me to think that I'm being harmed in any type of way. Thomas knows I'm not going to tell him anything and he knows that if I needed help I would go to him.

"Thank you" I mumbled Softly looking in the mirror to see that my busted lip had been concealed by a bright red lipstick and my black eye was covered by concealer and Foundation with a little bit of color corrector.

"No problem love," he said placing a hand on my shoulder "Drop 'em dead" he mumbled walking away. I smiled at myself in the mirror before standing up and making my way towards the stage. here goes nothing. I grabbed my 8-inch heels and quickly put them on before making my way towards the stage entrance.

"Welcome to the stage the best and your favorite scar!" I heard the announcer shout causing the crowd to become loud with growls and whistles. the song Drunk and in Love by Bryce Savage started coming through the speaker at a loud volume as the lights in the room dimmed to a blood red. I slowly and seductively walked onto the stage making my way towards the pool as the words 'I want to make love just like the '80s, I want to take drugs just like the '80s.' played

I grabbed a whole of the pool swinging around it before doing a body roll I caught a familiar set of eyes that I've seen watching me for a while now they call him Mr Mafia. ' I want to drink and fuck just like the '80s' I grabbed a hold of the pool and started seductively climbing till I was at the top grabbed a hold of the pool one hand above my waist between my legs while the other underneath my ass before spreading my legs wide and spinning around the pool as the song played ' I want to eat you up, you drive me crazy. pull up in the whip, pull up in my ride' I quickly position placing the pool in between my arm And rib cage. I spread my legs wide with my hands placed against my thigh. 'All I want to feel is my hand on your thigh. take you to a place that I know you like tonight. tonight. the song saying as I spun before quickly positioning myself to slide down the pool I landed on my knees spreading my legs as I did a body roll a few times before crawling towards the edge of the stage.
