Oh, Calamity (Alex Gaskarth/ ATL fan-fic)

Dear Maria, Count Me In

A/N: I've never been to a strip club, so here's my best bet on how it works.

Alex's POV:

We'd hardly been home for a week before tonight. I felt overwhelmed and drained with all our wedding stuff, but tonight, I could finally relax. And, well, not get too drunk. Marina told me I could go crazy tonight, just not get hungover. I mean, hey, we had a very important wedding to go to tomorrow. 

Yes, your assumption was correct. Tonight was the bachelor party (bachelorette for the girls), and it was my duty as a groomsman to give Zack an amazing night. Hmm, I might want to change my wording on that because it makes me sound like a stripper.

Strippers, of course! The guys, including Matt, Vinny, and Jeff, and I had mapped out a plan for tonight, including strippers. Emily knew Zack well enough to know he wouldn't do anything stupid, which made it more fun for the rest of us. And Marina knew me pretty well, too. So at least we wouldn't have to worry about our chicks getting jealous.

Jeff drove us up and parked the car. We all walked up to the front, and payed to get in. As we all sat down in front of a pole, Rian ordered us a round of drinks. Of course, it was all scotch. 

"Cheers to Zack, and his hopefully beautiful new life with his beautiful Emily and beautiful son/daughter." Rian raised a glass.

"Are you calling his unborn baby a tranny?" Jack asked, offended.

We all laughed and clinked our glasses. A stripper dressed as a sexy maid came out, and started doing acrobatics on the pole. I normally didn't find strippers at all impressive, but this girl actually held some grace. To be polite, I set a few ones on the table. She licked them and stuffed them down her pants, then grabbed the hat Vinny was wearing and set it on her head. When she finished her routine (that is, if she really had one), she set the hat back on Vinny.

"Hey, can we get a lap dance for this one?" Jack pointed to me.

"What? No!" I defensively stated.

"Just sit back and relax." she took Jack's money and straddled me. I was blushing like crazy. "What's your name?"

"Alex." I replied, in the voice of a young, scared boy.

She started to dance all over me, making me very uncomfortable. Everyone laughed, especially Jack.

"I swear I'm telling Marina about all of this!" he nearly fell over laughing.

"Jack, I swear-" I raised my fist to him.

"Who's Marina?" The stripper asked.

"My girlfriend." I awkwardly replied.

"You wanna stop?" she asked.

I nodded without hesitation. She got off of me, then sat in the chair beside us, taking a drink right off the bartender's tray. "How about you, hot stuff? You from around here?" she questioned Vinny.

"Well, I mostly tour with bands, but Baltimore is a home." He responded, feeling less awkward than the rest of us.

"Bands. Which ones?" she questioned.

"Ours." I raised my hand. "And my girlfriend's."

"And my almost wife's." Zack added. "Well, his gf and my wife are in the same band."

"So what brought you guys out tonight if you're all wifed up?" she bent forward, intriqued.

"Bachelor party for this one." Jack pointed to Zack.
