Chapter 5 Happy happy birthday to you!

"Why are we doing this again?" Cody Rhodes asked. He and his friends, Teddy, Randy and John were on their way to a strip club. Cody knew why they were going, he just thought it was a dumb idea. Most ideas these days seemed stupid to him, he wasn't even sure why. Maybe he was working too much.

"Because its your birthday Code, you gotta celebrate. What better way to celebrate then to see some hot girls getting naked" John laughed making Cody groan. He didn't want to see naked girls, he wanted to sleep.

"Why do I get the feeling this is more for you guys than it is for me?"

"Because your crazy" Randy laughed "Look your going to see the naked girls and your going to like it because if you ruin my night I'm not gonna be happy"

Cody groaned again "I don't like strippers, there all the same. The owners are sleazy, the girls are barely legal and there all got so much plastic Pamela Anderson would be jealous"

Teddy looped an arm around his slender neck "Someone has seen way too many stripper movies"

All the way to the strip club Cody complained, he wasn't happy about turning another year older and nothing was going to make his birthday any better. He wasn't sure why he let himself be manipulated into this. Cody kept the sigh to himself as they approached Demonica's, he was here because John Cena was very good at making people do whatever the hell he wanted.

"So we're gonna be surrounded by gothic strippers" Cody mumbled as they made their way in.

"Hi and welcome to Demonica's, we hope you enjoy visit. If there is anything we can do to make your visit more enjoyable please don't hesitate to ask" The female at the door smiled eroticaly, her blonde locks falling just past her shoulders making her blue velevt corset shine almost.

"Yeah you can sleep-" John got out before Randy grabbed his left ear and pulled him inside.

"Damnit Cena, can you not ask every female you run into to sleep with you?"

"Well I'm so sorry for being horny, most people would consider that being normal" John pulled out of his grip and took a seat at one of the tables.

Cody looked around and so far he had to admit, it didn't look like the typical strip clubs he had seen in the movies.

"Hey this is interesting" Teddy mused looking at the sheet paper on the table "They have a list of drinks, all dirty names and the names of the girls" He flipped it over "And even a short bio on why this place is called Demonica's"

"Yes thats very good Teddy but we're here to see naked women not read a life story" Randy rolled his eyes, sometimes Teddy and Cody were such nerds.

"Welcome to Demonica's, can I get you guys something to drink?" A waitress asked them, only she wasn't done up like a waitress, for one thing the only thing she was wearing was an apron. Her chestnut curls falling around her face like a halo.

"Yeah four beers please" John smirked "Do you have a name I can't see your namebadge"

She giggled gently making her perky breasts bounce "My name is Laura."

"Well Laura today is our friends birthday and we want to make it really special, is there anything you recommend?"

"Whos the lucky birthday boy?"

Cody grudingly put up his hand, sure he it wasn't as bad as he first thought but he still didn't want people knowing it was his birthday.

"Well sugar all your drinks are on us and as a special treat, the first lapdance is free with any girl thats on the red list"

Cody smiled a real smile, maybe this night wouldn't be so bad after all. "Can I have you?"

Laura smiled "Sure. As soon as DJ takes over you can have me" Laura walked away and got their drinks.

"Oooh you like her" Teddy teased making Cody blush.

"Yeah she is really cute and that body! Damn!"

The guys laughed, for someone that didn't want to come out Cody had certainly changed his attitude.

"Gentleman and the few ladies out there, put your hands together for our tattooed beauty, DJ!"

The lights dimmed as the first girl made her way onstage, tattooed was right. Almost every inch of her taut body was coloured with ink.

"Is that?" John asked not believing it, she certainly knew how to get a reaction.

"Oh my God, thats Shawn's daughter" Teddy whispered clearly not expecting that. Out of all the things they expected her to be, a stripper wasn't anywhere near the top. While the other three whispered all sorts of things about her body Randy merely sat back and watched. After a moment or two she was dancing only for him now and with each bit of clothing shed he only became more aroused. That familiar tightening was forming and he found himself hoping she would stop or else he was going to have to explain the mess in his jeans. Finally she took a final bow, almost sliding she went towards the exit, pulling with her another stripper. Before she left the stage she finished her act, a soft tender kiss to the girls lips. Just hearing those cheers made the night worth it.

Smoothing her apron down Raven put on her happy face, she wasn't exactly thrilled about switching with Laura, not after seeing who was she was serving. Raven could just tell this wasn't gonna end well.

"Can I get you boys another round?"

"Hey Raven, you never mentioned you were a stripper" Randy smiled like a wolf stalking a rabbit or more to his character, a snake in the grass waiting for his prey.

"Yeah I guess I forgot to mention it after I kicked your balls up into your throat" Raven smiled sweetly, "Can I get you guys another drink?"

"Ooh me please" Teddy piped up, out of the four of them he was defenitly the lightest drinker. He looked at the bit of paper his eyes filled with hope, "Damn"

Raven knew what he was looking for and luckily her name was marked in purple. Thank God for that.

"You know Raven you might want to apologize" Randy drawled at her. He wasn't sure why but the more he talked to her the more he liked her. She was more different than he realised and for the first time in ever, he had a genuine interest.

"I fail to see why I should apologize Randy, its not like you can make me"

He pulled out several bills, "Apologize or I'll make you dance till your legs fall off"

She just looked at him oddly, she was pretty sure that made no sense but whatever.

"Are you going to say your sorry?"

"Randy" John warned, he knew what his friend was like, more to the point what his friend's ego was like.

Raven folded her arms stubbornly "No. Now let me do my job"

She got two steps away when Randy called her back over, whatever game she was playing the Viper liked it.

"What?"

"I would like a lapdance" He grinned coyly waving several bills.

"And I would like some people to die painfully and slowly but somethings just aren't possible"

"I would like a lapdance from you" He laid several bills on the table.

"I don't do lapdances, sorry Randy"

He laid down several more, Teddy tried to tell him but the Apex-Predator wasn't listening. "Will that cover it?"

"I don't do lapdances"

More bills fell on the table making Raven roll her eyes "Am I not speakin english? I don't do lapdances Randy"

"You will eventually" He was sure of it, he just had to lay down the right amount of money. "Are you sure Raven, theres alot of money here"

"Look I didn't bring my RKO dictionary with me so maybe you guys can translate for me. I don't do lapdances"

"If you don't give me my lapdance I'm gonna tell your boss and then he'll punish you"

Raven rolled her eyes trying to calm down "Two things; firstly my boss won't do anythin because he knows I don't do lapdances and secondly what goes around comes around"

"Whats that supposed to mean?"

She just gave him that coy smile before heading back to work. Somewhere deep inside the Viper felt his interest peaking again. Raven was someone he had to have even if that meant nothing but trouble.
