NO DEAL

"OH DEAR....", Lorraine laughed heartily along with her two lunch dates as they sat talking in a coffee shop near the Burlesque club, "......you two are a joy I tell you"

"Now Lorraine don't lie....I'm the charming one", Saen added quickly dodging a slap from Tess who just rolled her eyes

The ring of a cellphone broke their laughter, Tess reached into her jean pocket and excused herself from the table, "Hello"

"Hi there sexy"

She rolled her eyes, "What do you want Marcus I told you I'm not interested-"

"Calm down.....God you're always so tense"

"Goodbye"

"NO NO WAIT.....okay the reason I called-"

"Why the fuck do you even have my number by the way?"

He snickered on the other end, "You really are sexy when you're mad even the sound of you're voice"

"Get to the point", she went on annoyed

"Okay....so I was thinking we could go to dinner maybe talk things over....you know without Vince maybe we can make some sort of deal here"

"I don't want to do business with you Marcus"

"Just.....come to dinner and hear me out huh? Please"

She sighed turning around and looking at Saen and Lorraine who were still laughing and enjoying each other, "What time?"

He smiled victoriously throwing his fist in the air, "How bout seven? Pick you up at the club?"

She hung up aprubtly and he smiled to himself throwing the phone on the chair opposite his glass desk and jumping up doing a small dance

"Tess, Tess, TESS......just you wait baby"

He pulled his top desk drawer open and grabbed a picture he had taken a while ago of Tess performing

"You are gonna be working for me, in more ways than one"

It's a cold and crazy world that's ragin' outside
Well baby me and all my girls are bringin' on the fire
Show a little leg, gotta shimmy your chest
It's a life, it's a style, it's a need, it's
Burlesque

"Hi ma"

Lorraine turned ber attention from the stage to her son who was handsomely dressed in a classic black and white suit

"Hi sweetheart don't you look handsome"

"Thanks....Tess called and said she had to go to dinner with some guy who wants to talk about the club and she wants me to accompany her.....you think she'll like it?"

"I think she'll be thinking of something other than dinner that's for sure"

His eyes grew wide, "Mother"

She just smiled and gestured with a nod to the stage, "She's really talented"

He nodded proudly looking towards the stage at his lady who was confidently owning it

**************rewrįte the ştårş**************

Marcus walked in his ears instantly recognizing the voice that was singing, he walked forward seating himself at the very front of the stage

It's a passion, and emotion, it's a fashion, Burlesque
It'll move you, goin' through you, so do what I do, Burlesque
All ladies come put your grown up, boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It's Burlesque
