Adam's P. O. V

It's eleven twenty PM and she gets off work at four AM.. I'm not sure where she works but damn that's some late hours.. Hell I'm just shocked that Taya is really going through with the deal. I had planned on taking her somewhere that she would maybe feel comfortable with me but at that hour nothing will be open except a diner or the twenty four hour cafe.. So instead I'm planning a quiet night here at my place.. I'm not sure why but I'm nervous as hell.. Damn I've never had to work to get a girls attention before.. She's different and it's crazy but the fact that she doesn't like me makes me want her so much more..

I walk through the living room setting up candles.. There are candles lining the hallway back to my room where they are also scattered.. In the bathroom they are also lining the tub that will be filled with scented water and floating rose pedals.. Just in case.. I have wine, beer and Patron to drink and fruits to eat.. I bought a swimsuit for her so we can make use of the pool and the hot tube. After I'm done I step back and look the place over.. Yeah this will do I smile to myself and reach into my pocket to answer my ringing phone.. Ragen? What in the hell does she want..

"Hello" I answer hoping she will make it quick..

" Hey there handsome.. I was thinking that maybe you would like some company." She says..

" Uhh I'm actually getting my place ready for company. " I tell her.

" Oh ok cool I can be at your place in like ten minutes.. " She giggles not getting the point.

" Uh Ragen.. I mean I already have company coming. " I explain..

" Haha.. Well of  course you do.. I was only kidding silly." She lies and I can tell she isn't happy about it..

" Well you have a good night Ray. " I tell her hanging up.. God that girl just won't stop will she.. After the call is over I decide to lay on the couch for a nap before I get up and get ready for my night..

Taya's P. O. V

I pull into the parking lot of the Velvet Room and take a minute to light a cigarette before getting out of the truck and grabbing my work bag. I hate my job but it pays good and it makes sure I can pay the damn bills.. I'm just glad Big Jimmy didn't recognize that my I'd was a fake when he hired me at seventeen years old. I walk up to the back door where Robbie the bouncer stands waiting on the girl's to arrive..

" Hey Taya or are you in Lacy mode already.." He smiles and I take a deep puff from my Marlboro Light.

" It's Taya for now Rob. " I force a smile and reach up on my tip toes to kiss him on the cheek before walking in.

" See ya on stage girl. " He says and smiles at me as I walk away..

I walk back to the dressing room and flip on the light seeing as how I'm the first girl in tonight.. The Florescent lights flicker one by one until all three of the vanity mirrors are fully light except for the middle mirror that had two bulbs out.. My nose wrinkles at the smell of cigarette ashes, old perfume and stale alcohol.. I finish my cigarette and stamp it out on the end of the counter, flip the butt in the floor and drop my bag in the first chair.. I am one of only three who have earned a seat. I have first chair, Lexie has second and Roxanne has third.. We are what's called the house girls. The rest of them are girls that come in off the street and pay a fee to use the stage but they keep what they make on the floor.. I bend over to look at myself in the mirror and roll my eyes at my reflection.. I had fixed my hair at home and all that is left to do is get dressed.. or undressed and fix my make up.. First I kick off my Atlanta Falcons flip flops, I then pull my Bulldogs tank top off flinching from the pain in my ribs but taking care not to fuck up my hair, last I slide my jeans off leaving me in my metallic silver bra and thongs..

I dig through my bag to find my eight inch red heels, I push my bag to the floor to sit and put them on tying them up around my calves.. Once I'm ready I take out my bag and start my make up.. After a good look in the mirror I realize that I need to put some heavy stage foundation on my bruised ribs to hid it from the customers..

" Hey Lacy.. We have a bachelor party booked for room two and they want my best girl.. There's four in the party.. They want the pole, floor, table and lap dances. They have paid in advance I have your cut right here and of course you keep all tips. I'll put Lexie on your side of the main floor as well as her own.. she won't like sharing the tips with you but hey that's how we roll here.. I'll put Robbie in the private with you and bump Jeff to main floor.. Go kill it tonight girl." Big Jimmy explains walking in to lean against the door frame.

" Ok thanks Jim." I force myself to smile as I finish putting on my lipstick.

Adam's P. O. V

I jump up off the couch.. Shit.. What time is it? I wonder as I search for my phone.. I find it in the floor beside my shoes so I pick it up and hit the unlock.. Fuck it's three o'clock! I need to get ready! I walk down the hall to my room and grab a towel as make my way to the bathroom to take a quick shower before I get dressed...
