The Fall of Judas Priest

4:Feelings Replicated, But Not Known

(Andersen) 

Once we were at the club, I had Alucard sit at my vanity until he could go do whatever Integra wanted him to do. I went into the locker area, and took several deep breaths. Seeing him in my clothes, especially my favorite tee, it made me feel like a school boy again, and once that hoodie was on, the hood sitting just so it looked like his long, wild, black mane of curls looked messy, and with it practically draping off him, I was literally biting my tongue to where I tasted blood, but kept my mouth shut as to not alert him. He was sex appeal, and it was hard not to say fuck it and claim him then and there. I went to the sink and splashed cold water on my face, and swapped out my glasses for my contacts that I wore when I worked. I had gotten prescription colored ones, and it enhanced my natural green with ease. I pulled on the first uniform of the night, which was part of a routine I did with Connie and Mickie. I poked my head out to check on Alucard, and he was snooping around, and I saw he had found my make up bag, and I had a small chuckle at his expense.

 I finished getting ready, then went to my vanity to do the rest of the costume. 

" I need my seat." 

" Oh, fucking hell, you gave me a start. What is this?" 

" Make up. I have to wear it for work. I need to hide my scar." 

As I did my foundation and everything, he watched like a child fascinated with something, his head cocked to the side like a puppy, and it was absolutely adorable. I guess he's never seen anyone really use make up around him. By the time I was done, it was covered for the night until I took it all off with a makeup wipe. 

" I always wondered what you looked like without the scar, and I have to admit, you look better with it. Also, your eyes aren't naturally that green, are they?" 

" No, I have colored contacts in so I don't lose or break my frames." I could feel the blush on my skin as the heat from it made me wondering if he could hear how his compliment made my heart race. I did the final touches, and heard my cue to go to work. Once the boss took the stage and started hyping up the crowd, you knew it was showtime. 

" If you want to go sit in the crowd you can." 

I got up, and went to work. I noticed that Alucard took a seat at the bar, and was directly in front of the stage that way. I watched as he ordered a glass of something, and his eyes never left the stage. Out of everyone in the crowd, which were mostly men, his eyes stood out the most in the dimly lit seating area. They almost glowed, and it sent a shiver down my spine. After three more dances, it was the solo's, and I always went last to close out the show. I had noticed Alucard had left around the middle of dance number two, leaving a note with the barkeep to tell me he'd be back after his job. I took this time to relax, and to think on how the Nosferatu made me feel. 

" Lexi, I don't know about you, but if you don't take that red eyed, honey voiced, sexy beast home and show him a damn good time, I most definitely will."

I chuckle, the nickname always made me bristle a small bit, but this was Mickie, a man almost too gay and fabulous to function properly most days. 

" Mick, he doesn't float that way, and I am positive he doesn't like me like that. We are old friends from before I came to LA."

" Honey, his eyes were glued to you the entire time, and, I know my gaydar was going haywire when I saw him in your clothes. He is far too fucking cute to just let slip past your fingers. So, pop your big dick energy, like I know you got, and show that old friend a new side to you." 

I had to chuckle at how Mickie talked, but I felt a wave of anxiety hit me.

" I don't know Mickie, how would I approach that kind of situation?"
