"Crystal, your number is about to start in twenty minutes. Are you ready?" Farra, the club owner and served as her older sister was striding to the dressing room while talking again.
She was always like this. Especially when she was nervous or scared. But that night, she was only nervous. The number of customers in her famous nightclub doubled again.
Since Crystal joined her ship about five months ago, her profit skyrocketed like crazy. Now, aside from the other ten dancers, Crystal had become the apple of her eye.
Crystal glanced at her reflection on the full body-length mirror once again then smiled.
"I'm ready!" she told Farra who at that time was holding her breath while she clasped her hands.
"You are so beautiful. But hey, stick to your rules, okay? No touching and oh!"
She took a black party mask that covered her identity aside from her club name and reached it to her.
"Don't forget this!" she smilingly whispered.
"Thanks!" Crystal smiled back before they left the dressing room.
She was wearing a two-piece black sexy outfit. Mixed with lace and cotton to cover her sensitive parts and at the same time a very light fabric easy for her to move or to swing her body every time she would do an acrobat.
As they stepped backstage, they could hear the customers screaming a name and a piece of erotic music started playing.
"Alright, dear lovely guests. The one you've been waiting for!" the host said on a microphone.
"Good luck!" Farra uttered before Crystal took her post in the middle of the stage.
"The Moonlight Flower!" the host screamed as the spotlight flashed onto her while she was holding a pole in a sexy post.
Yes!
Crystal was the famous pole dancer in Moonlight Nightclub.
.
While erotic music was being played and a scream of the crowd shouted only one name, rock music and loud chats engulfed the garden in Newly villa.
"Yow! Our dear heartthrob at the university and our second most handsome man tonight, welcome back to earth!" Edward teased Allan who was sitting beside his friends and classmates in the university while holding a glass of brandy.
"Second most handsome?" Genie repeated in question.
Her face was red and her glassy eyes squinted at him asking what he meant.
"Yeah! Coz I am the first!" Edward proudly uttered as he stood straight and tapped his chest.
Their classmates booed on him and shook their heads while laughing. But Edward just shrugged his friends' tease off.
"Yow, Allan! For sure you are staying here for good, right? Unlike before, you said you would only have a summer vacation but you didn't come back!" Edward suddenly became serious as he sat opposite to him.
Allan who was sitting comfortably on the couch beside Genie and Melissa just gave him a light smile. He reached out for the bottle of brandy on the center table and pour himself a glass.
"Since I'm going to start leading dad's business, then I guess that's a yes!" he winked as he gave them a shallow smile.
The Newly garden had a lap pool and two gazebos. Some of his friends were grilling barbeques while drinking beers and wines.
Others were having a wild party in the water. The garden was illuminated with lamp posts beside its benches and lantern lights hanging over the pool
"Oh yeah! My bestfriend is back!" Edward exclaimed while he and Allan made a high five.
Allan just chuckled at Edward's reaction. When suddenly, his phone rang. He glanced at his friends for a while then got up. He excused himself while his friends nodded and followed him with their confused gaze.
"Hello, babe! You are at the gate? Okay, wait there. I'm coming!" his voice was gentle like speaking to a baby.
His strides were fast like he was running out of time. When he saw a beautiful woman in a sexy red one-piece with wavy blonde hair, he hugged her tight and gave her a throbbing kiss.
"Hmm, babe! Your place is a bit hard to find. Maybe next time just pick me up. Please!" the woman's surreal voice mixed with her hot hug was making Allan melt on his spot.
"Okay, next time I will just pick you up. Come here, I will introduce you to my friends!" Allan smiled.
His love and care towards the woman were head over heels. He wrapped his hand immediately around her shoulders shouting his ownership.
When his friends shifted their glances at them approaching towards their seats, they all gawked.
"Guys, I would like to introduce my babe to you. This is Sherry. Babe, they are my classmates and my fellow cheerleaders before!" Allan's face was blushing while Sherry gave them a light smile and a simple wave.
"Hi!"
But the three remained rooted in their spots. Till it was Edward who released a fake cough to nudge Genie and Melissa.
"Nice to meet you, Sherry!" Edward started as he also waved back.
"Hello!" both Genie and Melissa uttered while giving her a wry smile.
Allan stepped aside and held Sherry's waist as he gestured her to sit beside Genie before he sat beside her.
When they settled down to their seats, Edward started asking.
"So, how did you two meet?"
Both Melissa and Genie moved their heads closer. They were all agog to hear their answer. Sherry glanced sweetly at Allan first before she replied.
"Well, at the bar. He was drinking alone at the counter at that time and I was alone, too. We glanced at each other then that's it. We became this. Who would have thought our relationship would last for a year now!"
