Chapter 1 Sips n' Strips
She walked into the strip club, Jade's black dress hugging her body perfectly. She was wearing a body hugging gown that accentuated every curve, the fabric clinging on to her like a second skin. The moment she stepped through the door, heads turned, conversations paused and all eyes were on her. As she moved towards the changing room, the gown gracefully followed her every step, enhancing her allure and commanding attention from everyone around. The way she carried herself in that gown, the confidence in her stride, exuded elegance, it was like she owned the room.
You could feel the energy shift as she made her entrance, captivating everyone with her presence. As she walked into the changing room, the men's eyes followed her every step, anticipation hanging in the air. They awaited her performance knowing fully well that Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays are days she would grace the stage.
Jade's POV
I walked into the changing room and overheard the other girls making side comments about me, as usual, but I didn't let it faze me. With a graceful demeanor, I simply brushed off their remarks, focusing on my makeup as if their words were mere whispers carried by the wind. My poise and confidence remained unshaken, showing that I was above their petty gossip and drama. I slipped into my beautiful striper dress, the fabric gliding over my skin like a gentle caress. As I pulled it on, it hugged my sexy figure perfectly, accentuating my curves and giving me an air of sophistication.
"Nice dress, but I guess you really need to try hard to stand out" Came the annoying voice of Maddie, another stripper. Her tone dripping of sarcasm.
"Oh Maddie, your jealousy is showing. I mean, it must be exhausting trying to keep up with someone who actually knows how to shine." I retorted
"Alright everyone! Get ready to be amazed! Coming to the stage now is who you all have been waiting for, let's welcome the incredible, talented, Jade. Ready to light up the floor with her incredible performance " the voice of the female stripper who hosted tonight's show echoed in the changing room and with the eagerness of the audience, I knew it was my time to grace the stage.
Kael's POV
I was buried in paperwork, my desk cluttered with files and reports . My secretary, Megan was busy organizing my schedule, reminding me of meetings and deadlines. "Kael, you have a conference call in tomorrow, and don't forget about the presentation later" She said, her tone efficient yet friendly. I nodded, glancing at the clock, feeling the weight of my responsibilities. Just as I was about to dive back into paperwork, Orion, my best friend, burst through the door breaking the intense focus that had consumed me all day.
"Busy as always, I see. You really need to take a break you know" he said and I rolled my eyes
"Well, some of us actually have responsibilities, Orion" I retorted and he chuckled and leaned in on me
"Oh you know me, always looking for a good time. Speaking of which, how about hitting the strip club with me later tonight? It's a good way to unwind from all of this" He said as he made a gesture towards the load of paperwork on my desk.
"Right, because that sounds like the perfect way to spend my evening" I answered with sarcasm dripping from my tone.
"come on man! please " He begged and after much hesitation, I answered
"Maybe I do need to unwind a little bit. Fine, I'll go" I said
" Yes! This is going to be epic! You won't regret this " he said as he made an attempt to leave but my words stopped him
"Just don't expect me to dance or anything " and he chuckled before leaving.
Later that evening, I wrapped up the paperwork and made my way to the elevator which went down fifteen floors before getting to the parking lot. I walked to my black Rolls Royce and hopped into it. The car whirred to life and in no time, I was on the road. I started driving when a call came through my phone. When I answered, Orion's stupid voice echoed in my car.
"Brother, where are you? I'm already in front of the club" he said
"Damn, I totally forgot about that, man" I said in all honesty
"Well you remember now, turn around and come to 'Sips n' Strip's' It's a strip club. You can't miss it, it has a large sign board with numerous lights " He continued
"Okay, I'm on my way " I replied before ending the call.
#######
As he stepped into the strip club, the atmosphere shifted subtly. Heads turned, conversations quieted, and a few pairs of eyes lingered on him. Kael felt a wave of warmth wash over him, not from arrogance, but from the simple acknowledgment of his presence.
"Not surprised " he thought, a naughty smirk forming on his lips. He brushed a hand through his hair, feeling unshaken under the attention
As he walked further inside, he couldn't help but chuckle softly to himself. He glanced around, appreciating the lively atmosphere, grateful for the moments that made life feel a little more special. As he scanned the dimly lit strip club, he took in the vibrant atmosphere around him. The air was thick with a mix of excitement and anticipation, punctuated by the rhythmic beat of music that pulsed through the space. He noticed the colorful lights casting playful shadows across the room, creating an almost surreal ambiance.
His gaze fell on the performers, each one captivating in their own way, moving with a grace that drew the eye. He observed the diverse crowd, a mix of laughter and cheers, people lost in their own worlds, some leaning forward in their seats, captivated by the show. There was a palpable energy, a sense of freedom that hung in the air, and he found himself intrigued by the stories unfolding around him.
In the corner, he spotted a group of friends sharing drinks, their laughter echoing above the music, while at the bar, a few patrons engaged in animated conversations, their expressions a blend of joy and camaraderie. It was a scene alive with life, and despite his cold demeanor, he couldn't help but appreciate the vibrant tapestry of humanity before him.
