Tonight was going to be perfect! Christian, Adrian and his fiancée Bethany, Eddie, Mia, Dimitri, and I are going to a club tonight. I found this place while planning our vacation to L.A. last week. We all decided that on our last night, we would go and have a fantastic time.
I looked at the clock in my and Christian's hotel room and saw that it was twenty till eight. The show started at eight and I wanted to get there before the club was packed. I grabbed my purse and went to the bed to wake up Christian.
"Babe, time to wake up! We're going to be late!" I said shaking his shoulders. He blinked a few times and grumbled something that was incoherent. As he swung his legs over the side of the bed, there was a knock at the door.
I opened it to see the gang staring at me.
"Christian!" Mia yelled. "Get your lazy butt up! We're going to be late!" I laughed at her words that were almost identical to mine.
"I'm awake!" he hissed while jamming his wallet and cell into he pocket of his jeans.
Together, we all walked out of the hotel and down the street to the Burlesque Lounge. It was a small little place, but the live band was playing loud enough for our sensitive ears to pick up the music from outside the building.
We entered and walked down a few flights of stairs. The walls on either side was covered with old newspaper clippings and posters of the show girls that had preformed there, and a relatively new one that was only three years old that had the owners face on it.
We arrived to a man sitting behind a small table. He looked bored and when he saw us, his expression didn't change. He had black hair with brown eyes. His eyes were outlined in thick black eyeliner and he was dressed in black slacks, a black button up, a red dress vest, and a black top hat with a red ribbon going around it. I noticed his nails were painted black when he thrust his hand at us.
"Seven people. Forty bucks," he said in a bored and flat tone.
"Forty?" exclaimed Christian.
"Look kid, I'm cutting you a deal. It's because you have three good looking ladies with you that I'm dropping the price," the guy explained.
"Dude, that is a deal," Adrian smiled lazily.
"Fine," Christian mumbled and handed over two twenties.
"Enjoy!" the guy smiled with a wave of his hand.
We walked into a dark room that was half filled with people. I saw the room had mirrors all around the walls with a bar at the back of the room. Tables with black roses and red lights were scattered all over the place.
"Over there, right in front of the stage," Adrian pointed.
We made our way to the table and spread around it. A waitress in a skimpy black dress came to take our drink orders. Christian ordered a beer, Mia, Bethany, and I ordered margaritas, Eddie got a beer, Dimitri got a water (killjoy), and Adrian ordered a Cosmo. I was surprised that the girl didn't card us because most of us were under aged. She came back with our orders right as the show started.
