A/N: Well? How was it? Was it good? Bad? Wish I'd keep going? Want me to shut up and do-it-already? Okay then! I get it, I get it! o:
Disclaimer: I don't own nothin'! Not even the best parts of my name. o: So sad. Here's Chapter 2.
Two years, she'd been working for two years now as a flapper in the club owned by Zoro. Nami had grown as a woman and as a flapper. No longer was she the shy and innocent girl of 19. She was 21, able to drink on her breaks, if she so pleased. Sanji still flirted with her, and Bonney and Robin had become her best friends.
Of course, the girl had gained regular fans, as had Bonney and Robin. A particular group came in every Saturday. Well, more like a small group of 2. One of them was rather good looking, had a 'bad-boy' look to him, with a scar under his right eye and his messy black locks. Of course, he was the one who couldn't hold his alcohol very well and always became loud and boisterous. Singing songs that would remind anyone of the days of old, where ships and pirates were common for just about anyone to see.
The second man, he was medium-to-dark complexion, at least next to his buddy. His nose was long and rounded- his name, Usopp; though, she cared not to remember his last name. She could have sworn that she had seen someone who resembled him somewhere before. But, where, she knew not.
The two men almost always ended up at the bar, watching as the three girls did their own routines on the stage. The first, Monkey D. Luffy, the 'bad-boy,' had for the most part tipped the three well. Nami could have sworn the boy was loaded. He almost always looked dressed to impress, even when totally wasted on whiskey. She couldn't tell who his favorite dancer was, it seemed he had no preferences.
The other man; the one with the long nose though, he liked the serious looking woman. He'd always shouted louder when Robin stepped foot on stage. Nami would always be behind the stage or next to Sanji, trying to suppress her giggles. She could see Bonney on the other side of the room, or peaking out from behind the stage's curtain, doing the same as herself.
But, this day was different. This time, the two had brought someone new. A tall blonde man with goggles on top of his head. He looked like no better than a gambling fool, in his denim jacket and his faded t-shirt and fading dark pants. He resembled one of the men who worked at the wharf downtown. How could such a man as Monkey D. Luffy, who dressed in suits made of the finest material, know such a man as Paulie Fore?
It was baffling.
Nevertheless, Paulie was now a patron of the club, for all intents and purposes. Making her way to Luffy, Usopp and Paulie; her form was covered in a seductive, bathing-suit type piece. The top of the frilly 'innocent' lilly-white fabric was cut into a heart neckline whereas the bottom stopped at the junction between her thighs, showing her long creamy legs to the three men.
Luffy smiled to Nami, calling to her; "hey Namiii~! Lookin' good!" That was all he could say, for the young man had been to a club before reaching the Three Beri's, the name of Zoro's club. Usopp, who was next to the sharply dressed drunken man nodded to Nami and he took the man to his regular seat at the bar and settled him over the counter.
"Hey Sanji, can I get him a coffee? I think he may need to sober up a bit." The bartender nodded, having always kept a coffee pot under the counter and out of sight of the boss man. He wouldn't like if the man was serving coffee to the customers. They were supposed to drink, drink, drink, until they couldn't tell how much they spent on the dancers or the alcohol. But, Sanji had grown to become friends with this small group, and Luffy looked like he needed a pick-me-up.
Back with Nami, the girl looked to the new comer. His cheeks were a shade of red she hadn't seen on anyone in the club before. Reaching out, she attempted to place her hand onto his forehead, but was forced to jump back when the man said in a loud voice, "you're not supposed to show so much skin! What an improper woman!"
All the orange haired girl could do was raise he eyebrow to him and look around at the rest of the people in the room; which wasn't much, since the club hadn't officially opened for the night.
Usopp laughed as he came back over to Paulie and Nami, placing a hand on his buddy's shoulder, leaning in he whispered into the blonde man's ear. "Paulie, buddy, pal. She's dressed like that, because that's how she gets her job done. Look at her, she's good looking, don't you think?"
Paulie's eyes widened and his cheeks flared even darker; something Nami didn't think even possible. But, it was. "She.. She dresses so indecently... For a job!?"
"Duh.. This is a night club!" Nami said with a flush of her own and an annoyed voice as she turned to disappear behind a door found to the back of the bar, her bottom making a pretty seductive sight as she strutted away from the men.
A/N: Dun-Dun-Dunnnnn. Such a harsh meeting. Oh well, Paulie's so cute when he's yelling at dancers, isn't he? Well my followers, how's it going so far? Like it? hate it? Tell me in a review! :D
