[sub]Collab with [@lovely complex][/sub] [center]7:30PM[/center] By now Strawberry had finished giving the new girl a tour, just in time for Amethyst to approach her with two alcoholic beverages in hand. [color=limegreen]”The one place where drinking on the job is okay.”[/color] The mysterious woman evaluated the newbie as she handed her a Long Island Ice Tea, [color=limegreen]”Just don’t get shit faced.”[/color] Her electric blue eyes intimidatingly watched the girl as she clanked glasses with her. Within seconds, the purple haired woman brought the glass to her soft lips and was already half way through her drink, [color=limegreen]”You can call me Mimi. That or Amethyst. Drinking occasionally will help your nerves and loosen you up.”[/color] More customers were trailing into the club, [color=limegreen]”I can’t stay for too long but I can give you some pointers, I guess.”[/color] Protocol had it where one of the ‘Stars’ gave newcomers some advice, Mimi was currently the only Jewel. Strawberry might climb the ladder soon, there were rumors going around throughout the playground. The Stripper just wanted to drink and get to work. Twirling the liquid in her glass, she smirked, [color=limegreen]”Reputation is key. Create a ‘sweet’ persona no one will forget, make yourself… worth our time.”[/color] The last part of her words were enunciated and said slower to emphasize that this industry was not easy. Being a body was one thing, but having people see you more than just a piece of meat, that was another. Luckily, this girl was only getting involved in stripping so it wouldn’t break her, completely. Unless… she let the wolves of the underworld get to her. Gesturing at the cage that the new girl would work at for the next couple of months, Mimi pointed out, [color=limegreen]”That’ll be your cage for the first half of your shift, then you’ll have a chance to win some clients over. You won’t be allowed on stage until Danny thinks you’re ready and of course, you get a routine approved by yours truly~”[/color] Her eyes looked passed the girl and saw Danny, leaning on the wall by DJ Predator, who went over the set list. Lifting up her glass, she acknowledged his stare and gave her boss a little wink. [color=limegreen]”Don’t ever go to him. If he needs you, he’ll find you. His ‘blood’ is… well, I’ll let you find that out on your own. You’ll learn the ins and outs, the who’s and what’s, soon enough.”[/color] Taking another sip of her drink, the honey voiced woman purred on, [color=limegreen]”If I were you, I wouldn’t share my name with anyone. Not even little ol’ me. Unless... you don’t mind your two worlds colliding.”[/color] Leaning in, Mimi kissed the new girl’s cheek, leaving her pink lipstick mark on her pale skin, [color=limegreen]”Now if you’ll excuse me, I have clients to please. You should hurry and get dressed, we opened thirty minutes ago.”[/color] And with that the Jewel strutted off and went upstairs to her domain: the VIP section. [sub][@Knight of Doom][/sub] [hr][hr] [center][i][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgM3r8xKfGE]Hey, I own the night and I don't need no help. Gotta be the feeling that Scarface felt.[/url][/i][/center] [hr][hr][center][h3]Ya Boy, Wes[/h3]12:00AM[/center] [color=steelblue]”Where’s my future wifey at?!”[/color] a grinning purple haired man shouted as he threw the doors to the Honey Pot open. He wore expensive Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses and a glowing cigarette rested between his lips, despite the fact it was midnight and the sign at the front of the club clearly said “No Smoking”. Several men followed behind his swaggering gait, dressed almost as lavishly as their boss. Like him, each of them had their hair dyed a different color from the other. [color=steelblue]”Birthday boy in the house! Ay, Joey!”[/color] the packleader called, flagging down the familiar bartender as he sauntered through the Honey Pot. [color=steelblue]”Let’s get some juice!”[/color] Joey quickly went to work, dropping what he was doing and ignoring the other patron’s orders for now. Everybody knew it was a terrible idea to keep Danny’s cousin, Wes, waiting. After all, while Danny was the technical owner, the Harmons owned Danny. Meanwhile, the Prince had his hidden eyes searching the premises for his lovely Amethyst. Unfortunately, she didn’t seem to be on the main floor yet. [color=steelblue]”Yous guys, go play. I gotta pay a visit to Danny-boy.”[/color] Wes dismissed himself from his posse when their drinks were delivered to them. Carrying a Sicilian Kiss, he went passed an Employees Only sign and strode into his cousin’s office. [color=steelblue]”Danny! My favorite fuckin’ cousin. How you doin’?”[/color] the Underboss obnoxiously asked the dark haired owner, rudely putting his dwindled cigarette out in the ashtray in front of Danny. [color=Darkgoldenrod]”Lookin’ good, Wes. Here to see Mimi?”[/color] Wes snickered in reply and took a sip of his drink, seeing that his cousin didn’t realize what day it was. [color=steelblue]”[i]See[/i] her? Nah, nah… I’m here to [i]rent[/i] her, cuz.”[/color] Danny tilted his head at the comment and began to rap a finger against his desk. [color=Darkgoldenrod]”You know she’s not one of my candy girls.”[/color] Wes shook his head and brought up both hands. [color=steelblue]”Nah, yous not gettin’ it. I wanna take her out on the town. I gots arrangements all set up for a beautiful dinner at Giovanni’s with my wife.”[/color] the bespeckled man explained, waving his hands around charismatically. [color=steelblue]”I got 5k smackaroos waitin’ for you, and the same for the broad. It’s my birthday, cuz. Lemme have this.”[/color] Inhaling and running a hand through his hair, Danny pondered on the situation for a moment. [color=Darkgoldenrod]”Fine. Only because it’s your birthday. Just remember that cat has claws…”[/color] With the business end of the deal of the night over and done with, the two men walked out of the office and back to the main floor. Wes grimaced when he realized that Amethyst had just finished performing. [color=steelblue]”Shit. Guess I shoulda come earlier.”[/color] he mumbled to himself. [color=Darkgoldenrod]”You mind getting a drink with your pals, Wes? I gotta prep Mimi on what’s going on tonight so she doesn’t flip out.”[/color] [color=steelblue]”Sure, whateva ya need, cuz.”[/color] Grinning and waving, the Prince walked away to rejoin his posse. The Star of the Underworld Playground had finished her [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdOuxbfoEkE] second main stage performance[/url] of the night. The midnight performance was always everyone’s favorite. Boring Danny’s customers was never on Mimi’s agenda, plus she was good at spicing things up. This performance in particular she got to play with fire. Nana didn’t mind this feeling of attention, so long as her identity remained a mystery, she would have fun with her act. At night, Mimi was every man’s dream woman. At night, all her worries were forgotten as she showed her beauty in front of those who came into The Honey Pot. At night, she was free. Even if a client came to see someone else, his eyes would look toward the stage when Amethyst performed. She was a Jewel for a reason. Her body movements were sensual, but also filled with precision, grace, and complete understanding of her body. Her confidence shined and if a client came in not knowing her, he would leave craving her. A couple lower ranked strippers collected the money off the stage as the woman stared at the men cheering her on. Noticing a new man standing between a couple of faces Mimi knew all too well, the Naked Jewel crawled to him and grabbed his tie, pulling him closer to her. After she let her alluring eyes capture his soul, she softly whispered in his ear, [color=limegreen]”I hope to see you again.”[/color] The sweet honey in her voice filled his ear and his face reddened shortly after. Letting go of him, the stripper stood up and unhurriedly puckered her lips, winked, and ‘kissed’ her audience. The newcomer’s friends were extremely jealous of their friend, as they watched the woman of their dreams walk off stage and disappeared into a private room. From behind her, she captured the scent of Danny as he put her silk robe on over her nude body, [color=Darkgoldenrod]”Looks like I missed you.”[/color] Turning around to look up at him, she tied a loose bow around her waist and tilted her head at her boss, [color=limegreen]”That’s too bad, this performance was definitely worth seeing.”[/color] The taller man lifted her chin up, she could see how bad he wanted to kiss her but held in his desire, like every man should, [color=Darkgoldenrod]”I’ll just get you to dance for me privately sometime.”[/color] Stepping back from him, Mimi sat on one of the sofa’s and laughed, [color=limegreen]”Come, you obviously have something to tell me.”[/color] Taking a deep breath in, Danny sat beside his precious Star and sighed, [color=Darkgoldenrod]”Wes is here.”[/color] [color=limegreen]”Oh boy! Time to spend the rest of my shift in this lovely room catering him~”[/color] The male’s expression stood still as he replied with a serious tone, [color=Darkgoldenrod]”Not exactly.”[/color] Narrowing her eyes, Mimi teethed, [color=limegreen]”I’m not a cat girl, Daniel.”[/color] [color=Darkgoldenrod]”No! No this is nothing like that. Wes...”[/color] Annoyance filled his eyes, [color=Darkgoldenrod]”Really likes you. It’s his birthday and he wants to take you out to dinner. I know this is a lot to ask but both you and I know what happens when he isn’t happy. If you want I can have one of my men follow you around town or-”[/color] Bending over, she calmed her boss’ nerves by resting her hand on his cheek, [color=limegreen]”I get it, Danny. Don’t send one of your men, Wes wouldn’t like you watching over us.”[/color] The boss rested his hand on her’s and stared at Nana with admiration. He was a walking contradiction a soft heart with wolf like tendencies. Well, it is in his family’s blood. She continued, [color=limegreen]”I’m a big girl. I’ll take care of it.”[/color] The stripper saw this more as a job than a date, as long as she made Wes happy without breaking her morals, the Honey Pot would be safe. [color=limegreen]”Looks like I have to change into something sexy and you have to deal with disappointed clients.”[/color] Standing up, the woman turned to walk out of the room. Her boss grabbed her wrist gently before she could get too far, [color=darkgoldenrod]”Nana, please be careful.”[/color] Mora and Danny are the only two people at the Honey Pot that know Nana’s identity. Most of the time, they keep to the act and address her by ‘Mimi’ but sometimes… it may slip, for Danny at least. [hr] After some time, Nana had made a phone call to Prim saying that her return might be a bit later than she expected. This may be one of the first nights Nana left the building in her nightlife persona. Mora had laid out a nice [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/ed/2d/97/ed2d9751662d8a85e977a4862aa7d27d.jpg] black outfit[/url] for her that spoke sophisticated and provocative. An outfit that a Underboss would be proud to see on his lady. Unfortunately, for the night… Nana had to be Wes’ “accessory” woman. The mother assumed he just wanted to win her over so he could get laid, but then again she thought every man just wanted something sexual. She was a Stripper, after all. For The Honey Pot, she would go on this midnight date with him. Exiting the locker room, she saw the purple-haired, cheesy grinned man waiting by the bar with his posse. Taking a deep breath in, she made her way toward him with purple hair as well. The men surrounding their boss made an opening for her to walk through. Taking Wes’ shot from his hand, before he was able to drink it himself, Mimi guzzled the strong liquor down in front of his eyes, and hit the glass on the bar. Playfully licking her lips, her electric blue eyes blinked ‘innocently’. [color=limegreen]”I’m all yours, Birthday boy.”[/color] The posse couldn’t help but give their boss props for getting one of the finest ladies in the underworld to be his woman for the night. [color=steelblue]”So I tells ‘em ‘If you don’t gots my money by Friday, I’m gonna take this toothpick here and I’m gonna fuckin’ gouge your eyes out.’ He starts bitchin’ and cryin’ about how his daughter got cancer or somethin’. Tries to convince me to give him more time. So I grab him and-”[/color] Suddenly, Wes takes the stool next to him and knocks it over like some kind of karate martial arts master. Some of the club’s customers are a bit frightened by the scene and promptly head to the door. The Prince was cackling and grinning, entertained by the mess he made. [color=steelblue]”WHAM! I knock him in the mouth, and he’s fuckin’ bleedin’ all over the place. I swore I broke his jaw, but lo and behold, he’s still fuckin’ talkin’. So I drag his sorry ass to the curb and-”[/color] Wes had turned around to grab his drink off the bar, but suddenly it was snatched by the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen in his life. She slurped down his martini in one go, and fuck if she didn’t look sexy doing it. [color=steelblue]”Well if it ain’t the most gorgeous woman I ever seen.”[/color] Wes cooed, immediately striding forward and gently taking his Jewel by the arm. [color=steelblue]”You and I gots a night to remember in store for us.”[/color] With that, he waved goodbye to his crew and led her out of the club to an exquisite limo waiting outside for them. The driver quickly opened a door for them, nodding to Wes and his escort. As they got situated, the limousine's souped up engine roared to life and they took off. This was surely to be a night both of them would remember.
