Mark couldn't help but shake his head at the fact he was sitting in the Cat scratch club, he hadn't

been in this place in over 4 years. The only reason he was hear was because Riley had asked him and

he couldn't deny her anything with that look of need. He didn't even pay attention to the other girls

lost in his track of thought of the girl who wouldn't stop haunting his dreams. Ever since her

birthday it was hard for Mark to be in the same room with Riley alone because he wanted to do

was…pushing those thoughts in his head he raised his head to see Colin's curiously looking at him.

" What's up man" Colin's asked

" Nothing" Mark muttered

" You don't have your damn camera to hide behind today Cohen and I can read it in your eye's

something's bothering you" Colin's said

Mark was going to answer but a silloet on the stage stopped him, he would know that body

anywhere hell how many nights did he dream of it. Staring Riley was wearing a purple robe that was

tightly latched and was up to her thighs.

( Ok so the song she's dancing to is Ashley Simpson's Lala)

You can dress me up in diamonds
You can dress me up in dirt
You can throw me like a line-man
I like it better when it hurts
Oh, I have waited here for you
I have waited

As she sang this Riley slowly slid down the pole and opened her robe revealing a dark purple bra

and Matching under wear high heels and knee highs to go with it. Mark eyes nearly popped out of

his head. Colin's couldn't help but chuckle at his friends reaction he knew that the guy was

attracted to the girl but he felt that if he didn't retain Mark the filmmaker would jump on stage and

take the girl.

You can meet me on an airoplane
Or in the back of the bus
You can throw me like a boom-a-rang
I'll come back and beat you up

As she sang this the girls that had been dancing with Riley laid down and spread there legs as if they

where wings on a plane moving from one side to another until Riley Roughly pushed them down.

Oh, I have waited here for you
Dont, keep me waiting
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up I want more
You make me wanna

Sauntering up to were Mark and Colin's were Riley sat on Marks lap and dusted him off as if he

were dirty and then licking his face she gave a smile. Straddling him she gently pushed his face back

and then went over to Colin's . The whole time that she did this Mark couldn't even look at her and

he had to think of his grandmother baking cookies so he wouldn't pop a boner while she was in his

lap.

I feel safe with you
I can be myself tonight
It's alright, with you
Cuz you hold, my secrets tight
You do, You do

Slithering down Colin's body she wrapped his arms around her and then quickly flinging them apart

she jumped back onto the stage

You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wana la la, la la la

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up I want more
You make me wanna

At the end she did one more slide down the pull and with a crawl across the floor she ended up on

her back in the middle of the stage. Riley thanked god that she got through this one safely, the

manager had said she had to interact with the crowed so she did, just with the people she chose. At

the end of the night the manager paid her and with a smile said that she could dance on stage any

time she wanted. Shaking her head she said no that she would only do cages. Walking out side she

walked out the back way to meet Colin's and Mark with a smile she knew that she would treat them

at the life.. As she exited the door her arm was roughly grabbed and with a gasp she was pinned

against the wall.

" Hello Pretty how much for one night" A gruff voice said the man turned out to be the one who

was sitting two seats over from Colin's and Mark

" I'm not for sale so let go" Riley growled though inside she was shaking

" I can make a generous offer" The man said as his hand started to move toward her coat.

Before she could answer the man was flung off her with a Murderous looking Mark and a surprised

yet pissed looking Colin's. Not even thinking about it Riley flung herself at Mark holding onto him

for dear life because once again he saved her. Colin's was still in shock that his Skinny Jewish

friend just flung a guy that was twice his size.

" Are you ok" Mark asked

Riley didn't say anything simply shook her head, not wanting to let her go Mark tucked her into his

Jacked with him and the three headed to the Life. When they got there the waiter started to complain

but Mark shot him a glare that soon shut him up. Everybody was quiet until Colin's decided that he

needed to lighten up the mood.

"So Riley when did you learn how do those kinda moves" Colin's said with a wink

" Haha Mimi and I had a seduction class 101" Riley said with a slight smile at the memory

No body heard the groan that came out of Marks mouth as he sat there an remmembered that night

and it nearly killed him. His thoughts were interrupted by a hand on his shoulder. Mark looked up

to see the waiter waiting for him to make his order and Riley and Colins looking at him worriedly.

" O sorry can I please have a tea and some fries" Mark said quickly

"So Mark did you enjoy your night at the cat scratch" Colins asked

"Not my kinda place but it wasn't bad" Mark said glaring at Colin's

" I have to agree but hey money is money" Riley said

Flicking his eyes to her wrist Mark saw as the bruise started to form were the man had grabbed her,

gently grabbing her arm he asked her with his eyes if she was ok and this exchange didn't go

unnoticed by the ever Fatherly Colins. All the schemes that Angel grumbled all of a sudden made

sense. He knew that he had to find a way to get the two people in front of him together and to hell

with Roger. Any body could see that Mark would be the savior Riley needed, and Riley would

finally be the person to make Mark not hide behind his camera. Getting them together would be the

hard part and he would have to use all the help he could get.
