Lets skip the boring healing process!

"MARK I CAN'T FIND MY CAT EARS!!!" Jack yells from backstage. His voice booming over the rather loud music in the background. The music echoing through the empty club which I was pleased that it echoed so well. I chuckle to myself.

Suddenly I jump startled, a hand firmly plants itself on my shoulder. I look at the hand, following it to be looking up at Tyler who had a smile on his face.

"Oh hey Tyler... You gave me a freight" I admit embarrassed. He chuckles.

"I noticed. Hey, I just wanted to ask who the new girl is behind the bar?" Tyler questions. "You haven't formally introduced us. I saw her here while we were making decisions about things for the club but never caught her name" Twitching his head in her direction. I glance over behind him and notice Mikayla chatting and laughing with Amy and Wiishu behind the bar. Amy teaching Mikayla a few last tips I'm guessing, while Wiishu  sorts out the drinks display and gives a final checkover and clean of the counters till they were spotless and shinning.

"Her name is Mikayla. She will be working here from now on so you should get to know her. She's very kind and pretty, I'm surprised she's single and not in a job that deserves her gorgeous looks huh?" I say, noticing I was staring when she gave us an awkward wave and smile. I hear footsteps from behind me. I peak over my shoulder, catching a glimpse of green hair. I instantly turn back to face away from him, 'oh god he heard everything I just said' I turn on one foot to face him. He took a step away from me with every step I took towards him.

"You know... I still exist right?" He announces, his expression unmistakably annoyed and upset. 'Oh god did he catch me staring at Mikayla?! I hope he knows I don't like her like that or even think of her like that.' He crosses his arms and glares at me.

"Of course I do baby. If it's because you think I like Mikayla then you have it all completely wrong-." I explain. He scoffs

"I can't believe you half the time Mark. I heard everything you just said... I just hope you learn from your mistakes... Because karma can be a bitch" he teases. Turning away from me, giving me a dirty look over his shoulder before turning and strutting off back to backstage. I hated to see him leave, but loved watching his clip on tail sway with each step as he walked away. I glance over at Tyler who was pinching the bridge of his nose and shaking his head.

"What?!" I say, trying to figure out what I'd done wrong.

"You don't talk about anyone like that if you're already with someone else. That would be like marrying someone else's wife or husband" Tyler says. Walking off after Jack. I sigh, looks like I fucked up yet again.

I glance again at the club had been renovated between Jack's recovery. While he slept, Tyler and I had chosen new decorations, themes and color schemes that would match without clashing. It looked amazing in here, the stage had color changing panels beneath the pole. Balconies along the top of the walls on either side of the stage that was long and rectangular that displayed 4 poles. Streamers, balloons and other decorations had been hung up. Tonight was prepared for the clubs grand reopening. I can feel my eager smile ear to ear, excited to open the doors again.

--time skip to opening--

I take in a deep breath. Take my place in front of the big black doors. Voices echoing through with whistles and people yelling to hurry up. I smile and adjust my mouth mic. I glance behind me, Jack and Tyler stand on the stage ready to go, but Jack refused to look at me which hurt a lot more than I thought it would. But I was hoping it would soon be over with so I could talk to him about it.

But I give Tyler a thumbs up which he returns. I glance at the bar and give a thumbs up to ensure they were ready. All three staff gave a thumbs up back. I clear my throat and turn on my mic. I open the doors, the bouncers already in place outside and excited screams fill the night air.

"Hello everybody how are your nights going?!" I yell to get them pumped. They all hoot and whoop encouragement. "Are you ready to have a dirty fantasy tonight?!" I yell. They all yell responses but are drowned out by each other.
"Alrighty! Then with no further delay lets get started!! Remember you have to go through a bouncer first. If you don't you will get kicked straight back out." I announce, nodding to the bouncers who had a special system of arm bands. I smile at the crowd before walking back in. Tyler looks at me, then at Jack who continues to practically ignore me. 'Jealous Much'.

People begin to flood in. Choosing to start at the bar or take a seat beneath the stage area or in a booth with a good view. My regulars chose their normal seating places that I had booked/ reserved just for them. I nod at Tyler and Jack, Tyler gives a thumbs up to Wiishu who starts the music. Playing Flesh by Simon Curtis (the song on this chapter) as the opening song. I grin, watching both Tyler and Jack start with a tease by pulling on their short straps.
This is going to be a great night
