Toxic Secrets 2/6

Secrets 8:05 pm

Sara walked into the club and looked around for Catherine. There was a bar toward the back, lined with a neon blue light. There were two side stages in the back complete with poles and women dancing on them. Catherine was right, they barely had clothes on, but they did have them on.

Looking towards the front, she could see tables and two more side stages on both sides of the main stage. A small dance floor was to the right, but no one was using it. Everyone was dancing between the tables or on the laps of their dates. She made her way towards the main stage where she saw a very drunk woman dancing, well, very drunkly on the pole in the front of the stage.

"Sara over here!" she heard Catherine yell.

She was sitting at atable in the front rows off to the right, a few feet from the dance floor. She sat down and noticed four shots in front of her and two in front of Catherine.

"How come I have four and you have two?" she asked.

"Well, I have already had two, and I was about to have two more, so you have to play catch up," she smiled.

Sara just smiled and took her two shots.

"Good girl. Now that we are equal, raise another up. To the ladies of the Las Vegas Crime Lab." she said.

"The HOTEST ladies at the Las Vegas Crime Lab." Sara added.

"Amen" Catherine said as they touch glasses.

They each downed the shot. They looked at each other and smiled drinking the next shot like pro's Catherine motioned the waitress for another round.

"So, is that Melissa up there?" Sara asked.

"HELL NO! I taught her better than that. Melissa is on next, she is the last for the night. I guess it amateur night and any girl who thinks she can dance can have her time up on stage. We used to do it at my old club. They mixed us up sometimes. You know, real dancers with people like her. But here I guess all the pros go first and from 830-1130 anyone can go, then they put the real ones back up there."

"Amateur night hun?" Sara asked

"Why Miss Sidle are you getting some ideas?" Catherine said.

"Not that drunk Catherine." she replied

The waitress brought back their shots.

"Not yet anyway," Catherine replied lifter her glass

Sara just smiled as they toasted, and Catherine had asked the waitress to bring back two Long Islands. Just then the DJ's voice captured the club.

"Aight ya'll eyes to the stage for Miss Melissa!"

Catherine and Sara both cheered as the tall, black hair woman came on stage. Melissa began with a suit on dancing around stage to 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction' but it wasn't the Rolling Stones. It was a woman singing. The song stopped short and Melissa ripped off her suit to revealed a nude bra and pants with gems all over it. Then the song suddenly switched to Britney Spears 'Oops I Did It Again'

"I though you said this wasn't a strip club?" Sara asked

"It's not. Do you remember awhile back Britney Spears did a performance at some awards show and caught a lot of crap for it?"

"Yeah it was … OH GOD! I remember now. Still, don't understand what the deal was."

"She was fully clothed just not acting it. Melissa has this thing for Britney," Catherine said.

"Yeah I get now. I watched that show. She looks good" Sara said

"I taught her everything she knows," she replied

"Who Melissa or Britney Spears?"

"Honey, Britney ain't got nothing on me!" she replied as she and Sara finished the last of their Long Islands. And once again, Catherine told the waitress to bring another round along.

After she had changed, Melissa had joined them to hang out before she went back on at 1130. They were all so involved in their conversations and their drinks, they didn't noticed the four men who had just entered the club.
