It only took just 3 knocks before she swung open the door. She was dressed in the normal Amanda attire. No surprises, good. "Hey, Bruno. You should have called" she fidgeted around.
Looking behind her, I was expecting to see someone pop up behind her. "Is this a bad time?" Her gaze shot up back to meet mine.
"What? No. No, it's fine. Please, come in." She pushed the door open wider, making enough room for be plus 3 to walk in. This place looks a lot more empty without any of Lexi's stuff being here. "I don't really have any new information about Lex..."
"Stop. I don't want to talk about her." I snapped, wanting to talk about something else. Anything else right now. "It's as if I can't go 2 minutes without her popping into my head and it's making me go crazy." It's not as if I owed her an explanation, but I didn't want her to kick me out.
But her and I know, that won't happen. "You really think taking your mind off from her is going to make things any better? That won't change anything, it'd just going to keep piling up." As much as I hated to say, I agree.
This is more stressful than releasing my first album. "No I don't. But if it makes me feel better in that time, I'm going to do it." Confusion was clearly written all over her face.
"So what do you plan on doing for that?" My feet were directly planted in front of hers. I held her face between both of my hands. Her gaze slipped between my lips and my eyes. Desire couldn't be mistaken for anything at this point.
Leaning in closer I whispered into her ear. "Drink my second favourite drink... Which is alcohol" I moved back to meet her gaze.
"What's the first?" She weakly whispered. At this moment in time, she seemed so innocent and everything anyone told me about her disappeared.
I slyly smiled and let a little wink leave my eye. "So are coming with me to the closest bar to here?" I stepped back from this small trance she was in.
Without communicating, she walked out of the door before me. I stood there for a moment, taking in what just happened. Did she just storm out of me and forgot this was her house or does this mean she wasn't to come with me? "Let's go!" She shouted to me from outside.
"Don't you want to lock your door?" I closed it behind me and walked towards her.

"So that's why I moved out to LA, just had to get a taste of destroyed American Dreams." She drowned the last if the exotic cocktail she was drinking and signalled the bartender over our way pointed to her glass.
"Do you miss home?" I swirled the liquor Around in my glass. This reminded me how much I missed Hawaii and my family. I must go back soon. Very soon.
She Swirled the straw around in her new fresh drink, making it turn a light red from mixing the yellow and red together. "Of course I do. You're doing an interview near there in a few days. Make sure you tell my family I miss them, would you?" She chuckled to herself, taking a big gulp it was hard but clear to see it was getting her upset.
"Come with me." This is what liquor does to me. It makes me talk without thinking about what I'm saying. What the hell am I doing! I shouldn't have said that. No more drinks for me. Before I know it I'll be asking her to move in with Me too.
She physically froze next to me, turning her head towards me. "This is your drinks talking. And I don't think Lex would approve."
Lex. Damn. What time is it? My Rolex shimmered in the small light the ceiling proved. 7:58pm. I'm late. But late for what? I guess I'm not really it'd just that she started work and hour ago and I told her in the morning id go see her.
"I have to go." I stood up and threw some notes on the table, I don't know how much exactly but I know that It would cover both of our drinks.
She didn't stand up but stayed along with her straw between her fingers. "Where? To your precious Lex?" Her words started to slur.
I took no note of her tone and made my way towards to main door. "Bye Amanda." With that, I left and only had to walk a few blocks until I saw bright shimmering lights of a stick woman half way inside of a fancy glass.
This is the place? Can't say that I've ever been here before but the exterior looks fancy it's just that old-style light that reminds me of the 80's. There wasn't any queue outside since it's still pretty early and only a few people went inside, many of those were men. Great. It's exactly what I thought it would be like. Men all over my woman.
The bouncer just let me go straight in, no need to bother the superstar. Although he did look confused as to why I'm here. Or probably just starstruck. Inside was different. Dark red and black cover almost every cover, but white pillows took over the seating.
The shine of the silver poles caught my eye. They looked like an art piece as men crowded around if observe. A woman half dressed popped up out of no where and started to present the piece by dancing around it.
Lex doesn't just work here, she told me there were other clubs too and she just covered for those who couldn't make it.
"You look like you've never been into one of these before. Strip club virgin?" A female spoke behind me, placing their hand on my shoulder as they twirled around me. Now I'm the art piece.
The intoxicated art piece, that is. "I've been to some before. And I sure as hell, am not a virgin." She giggled and kept her hand on my shoulder, moving in closer to me.
"Looking at you now. I don't doubt that for one second." As soon as she touched my hair, it was as if she got into my head and was shaking my brain.
I have to leave. "Excuse me." I left her there and made my way towards the bar. This time, I'm getting something more suitable.
"Since when does Bruno Mars ever go to a bar and order water?"
