You guys are awesome, thanks so much for the reviews, favorites and follows. I don't own any rights to Hollywood Heights characters or storyline; this is the fantasy world I created.
Chapter 10
May I Take Your Order
The next day Eddie went running with Ian and Phil before heading to the Hollywood Dance Studio to start learning strip technique. "Okay fellas, spread out, let's warm up," Jacki the choreographer says. She turns on some hip hop music and stands in front of the mirrors leading the warm up exercises.
"Hey Eddie, is it true Loren threatened Miley last night?" Kellan asks.
Eddie chuckles before answering, "it was more of a warning."
"No offense Eddie, but I think Miley could have taken Loren if it had turned into a girl fight," Jessie says.
"Miley don't want to start with Loren," Channing says, "Loren is a first degree black belt," Channing and Eddie laugh when the other guys stop warming up and stand there shocked.
"That means your wife can kick your ass," Tyler says.
"I try not to get on my wife's bad side so she won't have a reason to kick my ass," Eddie says laughing.
"Gentlemen, less talking, more movement," Jacki says. For the next three hours, the guys learn body rolls, hip rolls, pelvic thrusts and the first three counts of eight counts of one of their dance/strip routine.
"Thanks for inviting me to brunch Pop," Loren says kissing Max on the cheek before sitting in the chair that he pulled out for her.
"I was a little worried about you after your phone call last night," Max says sitting in the chair across from Loren, "how did things go after we hung up?"
"I was fine until Miley walked into the restroom; all I could think about was smashing her head into the mirror. If Jenna hadn't walked in when she did, I think I would have done it."
Max starts laughing, "I still can't believe you have a black belt in tae kwon do."
Loren laughs too, "I hope you have enough bail money Pop, because I may have to use some tae kwon do moves to keep that woman away from my husband."
"Is she really that bad or is it all an act?"
"Eddie believes it's an act to get people to stop seeing her as that character she played on tv; I on the other hand do not trust her."
"What do you plan on doing about it; other than resorting to violence?"
"I'm meeting with Jake after our brunch; I'm changing my recording schedule so that I can make unannounced visits to Miami while Eddie is filming scenes with her."
"How will you know when to visit? Have you seen the filming schedule?"
"No but Jake will get me a copy. Pop, don't get me wrong, I love Eddie and I trust him one hundred percent. I just don't want my husband put into a situation where the temptation is strong."
"Speaking of your husband, what is he up to today?"
"He's starting his training and rehearsals for the movie today. He's also started running with Ian and Phil in the mornings."
"Yeah, I was a little surprised that he started back running. Loren, I don't want to betray my son's trust, but has Eddie told you about his childhood?"
"Yes, we talked about Fatty Dont-ran; it's still hard for me to believe that Eddie is insecure about his body. He has the most amazing body and I'm not just saying that because he's my husband."
"That was a terrible time for Eddie; he had low self-esteem at the time. His mom and I tried everything we could to help him through it. I'm so happy that Ian was there for him."
"I have a new found love for Ian, not only does he make my best friend happy, he is a true best friend to the man I love."
"So I guess Eddie is doing this movie to prove something to those kids who called him Fatty Dont-ran."
"That's not the only reason," Loren says, "he did such a good job stripping for me on my birthday that I encouraged him to do it."
"Why on earth would you do that?"
"Good work guys," Jacki says, "tomorrow we will learn more of the routine. Make sure you practice. I sent you the music so you have no excuse. Tomorrow we will also schedule time for each of you to learn your individual routines. Channing, you and Eddie have two individual routines to learn."
The guys decide to have lunch before they have to meet the trainer. "Hey Chan," Ash begins, "why do you have a female choreographer for a male strip movie?" he asks looking at his menu.
"Females are the best judge for male strippers, who better to teach what females like to see than a female choreographer," Columbus answers.
"Well said, Columbus. He's right, female choreographers are in a better position to teach a male stripper how to move," Channing says.
A waitress in her mid-forties walks over and is star struck. "Hello guys, my name is Winnie and I'll be your mistress, oops, I mean your waitress today." All the guys heard Winnie's slip and start laughing. Winnie blushes, "what can I get for you guys?" she asks. The guys all order a light lunch. "What can I start you off with to drink?" Winnie asks.
Channing decides to have a little fun with her, he winks at the guys, "which one of us would you like to sleep with first?" he asks with a straight face.
Winnie blushes more and turns to Ash.
"Hmm, I think I'll start off with, sex on the beach," Ash says.
"That sounds good Ash, but I want a screaming orgasm," Columbus says.
"Both of those sound good, but I prefer to start off with a slippery nipple," Tyler says.
"You can start me off with a good ole southern screw," Jessie says.
"Bend over Shirley for me," Kellan says.
"I'll have a leg spreader and your best blow job," Eddie says.
"And I want two suck, bang and blow." Channing says.
Winnie quickly walks away while the guys bust out laughing. When Winnie returns with their food, no one's order was correct. They felt guilty for teasing Winnie and decided to leave her a nice tip.
When the guys leave the restaurant Winnie goes back to the table to clean up. She opens the bill holder and finds the credit card receipt is signed by all the guys with an apology and a five thousand dollar tip.
I had a lot of fun writing and editing this chapter. BTW those are real names for alcohol beverages. If you were Winnie, what would you have done? ~jm~
