~~Zarias POV
Rillo won at the Blackjack table. I know this because he beat me. And he got $500 out of me. And then I punched him. Repeatedly. So now here I was. Atop the stripping pole that I was deathly terrified of. Im not afraid of heights or anything, but im just afraid that the pole will collapse. It wasnt made to be there permanantly. As a matter of fact, the people are coming to disassemble it tomorrow. So basically Im afraid of falling and looking like an idiot in front of Rillo. Screw everyone else.
I took a deep breath and waited for the music to start. As Right Round started, the bass coursed through my body and I felt it inside of me. It made me wanna dance. and if I wasnt on the pole, thats what I woulda done. But Im not on the ground right now, so Im just gonna have to make do on this pole.
I started sliding down the pole and i coldnt help but hear the wolf whistles the guys were giving me. I started spinning expertly and when i got to the bottom, I did a split and wrapped my legs around the pole. i brought myself back up on the pole and started using my hands and legs to pull myself back up the pole. I saw Max waiting for me at the top with pure astonishment on her face. I guess I forgot to mention that I used to take ballet and gymnastics.
When I got back to the top, Max gave the DJ a nod and he changed the song to Just Dance. She gave me a reassuring look and we both slid down the pole together. I wrapped my legs around the pole and let go completely. The upper half of my body was now suspendd in mid air. Max was a little lower than i was, and when she saw what i was doing, she gave me her hands and prepared to flip. She was going to use my hands as leverage to flip over me and grab on to the pole above me. Then I would do the same thing. Then we would keep alternating till we were back at the top. At that time, we would get off and let the strippers resume their pole dancing.
The adrenaline that I got from doing the pole thing continued as I made my way to the kitchen to get a drink. I got Grey Goose and Orange Juice and it was good. Then I got a Smirnoff Ice. I didnt want to get drunk so I tried to find someone to go mess with. Preferabbly Rillo. I had something important I wanted to tell him. But I saw him sucking face with Max and i just turned around. JUst to bump right into no one other than Aaron.
"I knew you wouldnt bge able to resist me" he Said with a cocky grin.
" And I knew you wouldnt be able to take a hint. so how about another one?"
And with that, I kneed him in his groin. He grunted and walked away, still holding himself.
" I swear, Im gonna have you, even if I gotta rape you, Im gonna have you. Im not losing a bet over you. I refuse to." he spat. That prick!! I lunged after him but by then, he was already gone. I turned around to walk away and then I bumped into someone. Yet again.
" Looks like you need to watch where your going"
" Or maybe you can not be behind me when im trying to turn around. That would also solve the problem"
" Well the names Rick. And I must say, your outfit is breathtaking, but your performance was astounding.
" Yeah thats all fine and dandy, but can you move? Im have somewhere to be."
" Aww running away so soon? Its ok. As long as you promise to see me again"
" Whatever."
"C'mon Z, Max and I need you over here." Man do I love Rillo. He just stepped in and saved me. but before i forgot, I had to tell him something. I decided to bring it up as we were walking.
" Uhhh, Rillo, I have something to tell you and Im not exactly sure how your gonna take it."
" Well what is it?"
" Well uhmm, I think I Uhmmmm, I think I love you."
