Chapter 6 To be a Harlequin

Raven's POV

Working as a harlequin girl miles from home, I have to say my head was spinning.

"Right Harlequin training"

"What?" Why am I so stupid the only things I've been able to say are errrm? what? and huh?

"We have to train you for the job you know how to serve the drinks how to work with the customers, which ones to be nice to because they have the most money"

"okay"

"Chill Zoë will train you Chloe will help you decide what to wear"

"That sounds great but Alisha told me I start in about an hour"

"an hour is when we open you won't need to start for a couple of hours go into that room there Chloe will be with you shortly, I have to go speak to the DJ"

She led me into a room and I said goodbye to Nancy. There were 5 big vanity mirrors, and a built in wardrobe that took up the whole wall, and must have been about 20ft long.

"hey there"

I turn to look from where the voice is coming from

"you must be Raven I'm Chloe"

"nice to meet you"

"you too so what kind of Colours do you usually wear"

"well I errm" oh my god Raven stop it use words

"It's okay why do you think they sent me I have the best clothes co ordination here we'll find something to make you look super cool and super hot"

oh god I despise makeovers, she opens the wardrobe up and it was like a small store, I thought Starfire had an abundance of clothes but this was ten, nearly twenty times as much. She pulls out something from it and says.

"I think this would be perfect"

it was a dark lacy top cut just under the bra with low cleavage, dark hot pants, and black boots. It wasn't too much but when I thought about it my leotard doesn't cover much more.

"It is perfect"

"Fantastic I'll leave you to change"

I slip out of my jeans and shirt and put on the underwear it didn't cover much and left absolutely nothing to the imagination, but somehow I felt empowered, by the fact that getting money for quite probably one of the easiest jobs in the world. Walking around and being a Harlequin.

"Well don't you look pretty"

Oh my god another one how am I going to remember all these names

"Names Zoë Nancy told me to train you about how to work in the club, basically to be a Harlequin"

She pushed her chest out when she said work which made me even more nervous. She was skinny as hell but had dark eyeliner on and blonde crimped hair with brown streaks in it

"I'm Raven and i'm very nervous"

"No need to be I was too but then I learned how much I loved it"

"So what do we do first?"

She smiled and said "follow me" she took me out in to the main area, the room was darkened out now and had been partially lit up by stage lights, and some faint dim lights round the tables.

"Ready"

"I think so"

"You know so okay step one learn how to use the shadows"

"Shadows?"

"Yeah you see how some parts of the room are like pitch black?"

"Yes"

"Well you can hide in them if you need a breather or if you want to tease the customers but that's just me"

"Great" so not where the food and drink is or what I actually have to do but how to use the shadows. Nice.

"Step two learn who our most important customers are"

"riiight and they would be?"

"Rich Billionaire Callum Nought is the main one-"

"If he's a billionaire why is he here"

"He's good friends with Alisha"

"Okay then why does he let her work here?"

"So many questions look he bought her a house and this place and he makes more than he knows what to do with so he spends it here knowing that we will really appreciate it"

"Okay"

"Second is Campbell Alexander now he's only a millionaire, but he also likes to come here to relax his favourite drink is scotch and he's a like a famous judge or something so he's also loaded"

"Is there a third?"

"Yes his name is Zack Moore but he doesn't come in a lot but when he does, well let's just say I had enough money to buy a Gucci dress the next day"

"Well he sounds nice"

"He really is now step three is tricky but if you can pull it off it means a lot more cash"

"Ok great what to I have to do?" flirt with the customers dance on a pole come on how hard can it be?

"Okay well the three men I just talked about often sit at the dark room in the corner"

Oh no i'm going to have to give a lap dance to some freak of a perv man!

"relax you look like your going to have a panic attack, look we just feed them strawberries and champagne, there happy cuz they get attention from a pretty girl we're happy because we made about $300 in about five minutes"

"Wow ok was there anything else?"

"Oh yeah here's your note book to take orders you get drinks from over there and food from the counter over there, oh and don't worry after your first night things get really easy"

"Thanks Zoë"

"Not a problem cutie, come join us upstairs and I'll introduce you to the boys"

She walked upstairs cutie no one had called me cutie before. I could feel my powers getting out of control so I went outside blew up a few trees and went upstairs to join Zoë

Hello beautiful people I was just curious to know who was everyone's favourite harlequin girl here is a quick reminder

Alisha- The leader of the group she owns the bar and looks after the Harlequins

Nancy- Sharp and witty has just the right amount of charm with a bit of sassiness

Chloe- Sweet and lovely the only single Harlequin girl before Raven and is Naive as the days are long.

Zoë- similar character to Nancy but has an edge to her she's a quick witted soul but knows how to comfort a friend in need
