Inevitable

Chapter 35

We arrive at the burlesque club around 9:30. We decided to drink before we came to settle our nerves. I have received two text since I last spoke to Mikey. He gets to be the one that worries tonight. Zayn and Liam have also texted the girls. They have resulted in just turning their phones off to resist temptation. I keep mine on, so that way when any of them call, it goes straight to voicemail.

We get out of the cab and split the fare. We all gather to the front of the club and regroup before we go in. I let out a breath I've been holding in and Sophia grabs my hand.

"We got this guys. Let's go." She says calmly.

She pulls me and I latch on to Jess, who has her mouth hanging open in horror. I can tell she's nervous as hell. If I don't pull her in there she will stay out here all night. She resists at first but she eventually goes without a fight.

Sophia swings us inside and stops at a window on the right side. I hear a voice erupt through the speaker attached to the window.

"Do you have an appointment, ladies?" When I look through the window I expect to see a girl. I was surprised when I saw a man in a beret and stubble growing on his cheeks. I bite down on my tongue to stop from laughing. I look at Jess, who refuses to look at the window.

"Uh, Hi. Yes we do have an appointment for three."

"Last names, please." He says sweetly

"Uhm, Hungate, Dalik, and Smith" Shophia says nervously.

"Oh yes, and the men that have come with you?"

"Oh, uhm, They ditched us for guys night. So it is just us girls"

"That's too bad, they'll be missing out for sure." He fake pouts and recovers with  a mischievous grin.

"We know." Jess says back

"Well I'll leave their names on the list just in case they decide to show up? Does that sound alright?"

"Yeah it's alright. But, I doubt they will."

He looks knowingly at us  and types something on his computer."

"Alright, follow me ladies, prepare to be pampered." He saunters in front of us swaying his hip.

I link arms with the girls and watch the door open from the inside.

I gasp when the room is in view. It looks like a classy strip club. There are four stripper poles on each side with red velvet booths surrounding them in a circle. The poles are on red suede platforms big enough for four girls.

On the ceiling is a huge crystal chandelier in the center. We walk past the booths towards the front of the building. The walls are gold with red velvet accents everywhere. We all stare in awe of this place. It's huge. We finally stop in front of a stage with 3 flights of steps. The stage isn't like an auditorium stage its shiny and black like a piano keys. We follow the man up to the stage our heels clicking across it.
