Girls in Red

Red Wine Supernova

Charlotte laid in her bed completely wide awake. Even though she was exhausted, she couldn't get her mind to shut off and go to sleep. She tossed and turned before finally giving up on going and got up to use the bathroom.

The color drained from her cheeks as she saw the dark love bite left on her neck. She reached up to touch it and hissed, the teeth marks were deep. Charlotte couldn't stop pressing on it because with each ache, she could see Mia's reaction in her head.

She had seen the redhead angry many times but she had never seen the way her eyes darkened. She wondered what the hell was Mia's problem and why she even seemed to care what happened to her. Charlotte could handle herself, but she had to admit it was pretty hot to watch Mia manhandle the dude who wouldn't leave her alone. It sucked she was losing out on his eager money, but she had a strange feeling that she was going to have a new regular very soon.

Work was done for the most part until Charlotte saw Mia in the staff room. She looked around to make sure no one was coming in and slowly made her way over to her. Char leaned over her shoulders and wrapped her arms loosely around them, her tummy brushing against Mia's back.

"Mia-" She breathed out, giggling a little bit like a child. Mia was extremely confused but welcomed the behavior and turned her cheek to be closer to her.

"My my my, what have I done to deserve attention from Miss Sweet?"

Her voice was low, causing Charlotte's cheeks to flush and she suddenly couldn't remember why she had come over to her.

"Just wanted to say good morning..." Charlotte's smile was cheeky, unable to breathe at the proximity of their faces. Stop it's Char, flirting with Mia is a no go. She doesn't really care she's just playing a game, Charlotte frowned for a moment before shaking it off.

"Sure, Charlotte." Mia chuckled,"Good morning, but I'm not sure how good of a morning it could be when you're fully clothed-"

"Mia!" Charlotte's eyes widened and she slapped her arm.

"Baby, now that I've seen what is there it'll always be on my mind."

"Don't call me baby..." She whined, pulling her arms from Mia's shoulders.

"You prefer something else, hm?... How about sweetheart?" Mia pulled her onto her lap in a quick movement, holding Charlotte close. "I know you like it, Charlotte. You don't have to pretend."

She chose to ignore Mia's antics as she could feel her cheeks burning even more. Charlotte attempted to get up but Mia nuzzled her even closer.

"You don't have to be afraid, sweetheart..." Mia punctuated her words with her hand making contact with her neck. She pressed against the deep bite mark on Charlotte's neck causing her to yelp,"I don't bite."

"Mia please." She sighed out, standing up from her lap and covering her love bite.

"Charlotte, I didn't like the way the men were talking about you while you danced and I definitely didn't like the way that man was touching you either."

There it was again, just at the mere mention of someone else touching Charlotte. Mia's eyes darkened and she felt jealousy rush through her body. She wasn't sure why she felt so territorial over Charlotte. They were merely more than acquaintances. There was no reason for Mia to feel such a pull towards her and her cute smile. Mia knew that Charlotte despised her just like everyone else at the nursery. To be able to hold something like this over Char's head was intriguing. She wondered how far into it she could play.

"I didn't like it either but gotta do what I gotta do." Charlotte sighed, shifting back and forth on her feet. "I should head back to work, my break is almost over."

"Sweetheart." Mia stopped her before she could walk out of the room,"Your secret is safe with me, I promise."

"Thank you." Charlotte whispered before booking it out of the room and almost immediately running into Marjorie. Jesus Christ, she needed to start watching where she was walking.
"Oh sorry, Marjorie!"

"It's okay my love-" Marjorie cut herself off by a gasp."Charlotte, I didn't know you had it in you!"

"Had what?"

"You're pulling my leg, aren't you? I'm talking about that massive love bite on your neck." She laughed,"I had no clue you were back out on the scene."

Charlotte's eyes widened and she once again brought her hand up to cover it up,"Oh this little thing... it's nothing."

"Nothing sounds a whole like something. Who was it? Anyone I know?"

"No no no.. no one you know."

She laughed awkwardly before making her way back into the toddler room. God, could this day pass by any slower? She was aching to get home and rest before her shift at the club started. Charlotte was absolutely exhausted but she knew once she walked into the club, all of that would melt away.

The theme of the night was Ladies of the night which meant Charlotte had to break out her red set and deep maroon heels. She would be dancing to "Red Wine Supernova" which was a classic club favorite. She laughed a little bit to herself realizing how the love bite on her neck would fit in with the performance. Though she wished it was someone else who had sunk their canine teeth in the side of her neck. Fuck, Charlotte stop it. She had to get Mia out of her mind for good, this wasn't like her to be so easily swept off her feet.

Charlotte started out her shift at the club having a drink with Joe. She was so happy he was back and told him all about the man from before.

"Yeah I'm disappointed because he brought in good money with him but he got kind of roughed up." She giggled over a vodka cranberry and watched his shock.

"No fucking way! Someone finally gave Danny what was coming to him? And I wasn't here to see it?"

"That's what happens when you have the night off, Joe." Charlotte laughed, "You miss out on the good stuff."

"Yeah yeah yeah how dare I take off the night to celebrate my 10 year anniversary." He topped off Charlotte's drink before shooing her away from the bar,"Charlie, there's someone waiting for you in the back. Flashed a lot of cash to get to be with you before your dance time."

"Oh really?"

She was a bit taken back, she knew she was well liked but no one was allowed to have a dancer one on one until after their stage time. Must've been quite a large amount of money to convince Joe to bend the rules.

"Wish me luck!"

"Good luck, babe!" He winked at her as she walked off to the dressing room and touched herself up.

She admired the way the black and red corset accentuated her body in all the right ways. Of course she had to add her black thigh highs and attach a red garter belt. Charlotte knew how much the men went wild about the garters but she wasn't aiming to please them anymore. She knew several attractive women who had frequented the club and was aiming to reel in. She was getting tired of smelling like beer by the end of the night and was beginning to crave validation from those gorgeous, gorgeous girls. If a man thought she was beautiful, that was whatever. But if a woman looked her way, she found herself growing hot at the thought and her face ablaze.

Charlotte sucked in a quick breath and closed her eyes, imagining what it would feel like to have a woman- Stop it. Charlotte, get back to the room and make some money. Fantasize later on with the cash in your hands. She calmed herself down before making her way into the back room.

Charlotte's eyes widened as she realized who it was waiting for her.

"Mia? What are you doing here?"

"Hm... I wonder." Mia chuckled, patting her lap." Why don't you come and show me what makes you so sweet, huh?"
