What The Heart Wants (Stereo Kicks/ James Graham)

Chapter 36

The majority of the day went by as planned. We woke up, went to vocals, went to an Interview for something I don't remember, when we got back we went to choreography, then we were forced to go to the gym. By the time we were free it was already 8pm and we were exhausted. "You guys wanna play some FIFA?" James asked us as we all shuffled into his bedroom. The boys agreed to play but I told them I was going to take a shower. Once I cleaned off the sweat from the day, I went to my room and got dressed. I decided to go with casual clothes that way the guys wouldn't ask any questions if they seen me. Next, I went to the bathroom and blow dried my hair so it would be easier to style for my outfits. I decided to leave the door open so the air could circulate around the bathroom. I was almost done when Barclay came out of the bedroom and stood in the doorway. "What are you doing?" He eyed me in the mirror. "Drying my hair. What does it look like?" I nudged him playfully. "Ok, but why are you drying your hair?" He said, emphasizing the word why. "I uh, I just don't like going to bed with wet hair." I lied. He just nodded his head. "Alright well the boys and I are beat, we're gonna go to bed. I'll see you tomorrow. Don't forget, we have vocals at 10am." He reminded me. "Alright goodnight." I smiled and watched him walk back to the bedroom. After a couple more minutes my hair was finally dry. I walked back in my room and seen that it was just a little after 9pm. I have less an hour before I need to leave. Not knowing what this club was like I grabbed my purse and stuffed my make up bag, and a pair of black heels inside. The girls I danced with back in America would always share make up and shoes and even outfits, but not every club is like that. Eventually the time finally came when I had to call a cab. He said he would be here in ten minutes, so I quietly went downstairs and waited by the door so I could see when he pulled up. Ten minutes later the cab showed up and I quickly ran outside so he wouldn't honk his horn. I gave him the address and we drove silently to the club. Once again, it only took ten minutes to get there. I gave the driver his money and got out of the car. I checked my phone and seen that it was 9:56pm. I took a deep breath and headed inside. There were only a few people here, which I expected since it's not even 10:00pm. "There you are!" Robert came up to me and gestured for me to follow him. He led me backstage to the rack of costumes. "Pick four." He said bluntly. I shuffled through the rack looking for 'innocent' looking costumes. There weren't many, but eventually I ended up with a few that would work. "Great now try them on." He said pointing to a section of the room that was shielded by a shower curtain. Classy. I went behind the curtain and tried on the first costume, which was a sleazy school uniform. It was a short, pink, white, and black plaid skirt with a tight, white shirt that tied just below my boobs, and white knee high socks. I stepped out to show Robert. He looked at me and shook his head. "Something's wrong with the top." He pointed to the shirt. "It's not sexy enough." He said. I sighed and unbuttoned the shirt so the majority of my boobs were showing. Not all of them, but enough so that the guys wouldn't have to leave much to the imagination. I felt sick to my stomach. "Much better. I assume you have heels?" He asked. I nodded my head yes. "Great. Next." He waved his hand in a circular motion that told me to put on the next costume. The next three costumes all passed his test. The test being him looking at me and saying yes or no. In the end, my costumes consisted of a student, an angel, a nurse, and a cheerleader. "Great. Pick out your first outfit, then get ready. You have fifteen minutes before you go on." He said then left the room. I decided to just stay in the cheerleader outfit since I was already in it. I went to my bag and pulled my heels on, then went to a mirror and applied my make up. When I was done, I checked my phone and seen I had a text.

James: Where are you?

Shit. I thought he went to bed. I contemplated replying but before I came up with a decision, Robert came back to tell me it was my turn. I tucked my phone into my purse, took a deep breath, and followed him to my designated pole. Here goes nothing.

When I got home it was almost 3am and I was so fucking tired. As promised, Robert gave me my schedule and holy hell I'm gonna be busy. I work every night for the next month. On week days I work from 11pm-2:30am every night, and on weekends I work from 11pm-4am. Awesome. I quickly changed out of my clothes and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
