Across the Hall

Chapter Six

Isabela's POV:

It was Friday night, and I was getting myself ready when Ivy came up behind me, she stood there for a minute not saying anything as I glanced up at her through the mirror and raised an eyebrow.

"Everything okay?" I asked her, catching her attention.

"Yeah, just worried you'll steal the spotlight with how sexy you look" she says making me blush under the makeup, she sure is a smooth talker.

"I'm flattered but you should look at yourself" I said back to her and turned in the chair to face her.

She bit her lip as I stood and arranged my outfit on my body, "If we weren't on in a few minutes, I'd tear that suit off your body and take you right now" she whispered making shivers run down my spine. I closed my eyes to try and remember what Jaylin told me about being friends first. I turned to speak but it was too late, our names were called, and we had to go perform.

I walked out first as the lights were dim and the music played, I raised one arm up and down and as the first beat dropped, the heels clicked on the floor behind me as Ivy walked up and moved her hands around my waist to the front.

She spun me around and we danced a little together before she dipped me slowly and pulled me back up to peck my lips, before I went around her to climb up the pole and body roll as I moved up.

She was doing what she does best to hype the crowd and then joined me on the pole as we intertwined like snakes and then spun down the pole. As we got back to our feet the lights dimmed more as we stripped of our chest pieces to be nude as she went behind me again and moved her hands from my waist up my abdomen and over my breasts as the spotlight hit that part as one hand went to my neck and the other squeezed. Then she spun me back as she dropped to her knees and then the lights went out and music stopped leaving a shattering applause.

Ivy wrapped her arms around me for a hug as I hugged her back the best I could, I helped her up and we went backstage as the girls and guys congratulated us on our first duo performance. I pulled Ivy aside after the praises and she looked over the world.

"You were amazing!" she said on her high and pulled me in for a kiss which caught me off guard again.

"You did most the work" I said but she waved me off and then grabbed the sides of my face.

"We're partners now, no cheating on me with anyone else" she whispered, and I smiled and nodded as she released me.

"Actually Ivy, I wanted to ask you something?" I asked and she nodded and waited for me to continue.

"Is this just business and pleasure or do you want something more to happen like an actual relationship?" I asked and she seemed shocked I asked that, but I held myself together.

"Just business darling, I'm already taken but it's an open relationship when I'm working" she said, and I wasn't upset by that, but I just nodded.

"Okay, cool. Business then" I said and turned to leave but she turned me back to her.

"You're not upset are you?" she asked, and she looked worried, but I shook my head.

"Of course not, but don't fuck me again if you don't mean it" I said and walked away from her.

I grabbed a robe and wrapped it around my body and went out the back door as I now noticed it was raining.

"Can this night get any fucking worse!" I shouted as I looked to the guard, as he held out a cigarette to me. I grabbed it and placed it between my lips as he lit it for me.

I inhaled the nicotine and noticed a group of people walking alongside probably to come here and a voice I noticed, it was Jaylin's, I wanted her attention now. I gave the guard a look to just stand inside for a moment.
