"I thought we were going to your place," I said in awe.
"Well, no. I lied. Will you do this for me?" he asked with puppy eyes.
Oh God kill me!
"Edward, no," I said while I looked around the place.
"Why not, love? I know you can, please!" he said again with puppy eyes. Oh God, those eyes! Fuck!
"Edward, there are people in there. A lot of people," I said, looking at the people worriedly.
"Well yeah, it's Friday night," he reminded me, taking my hand. "What did you expect? Of course the club is full!"
We were at a club, a very good club that was pretty famous about itsgood dancers. Very good female dancers.
"Bella, can you please sing for me tonight? Please?" he begged.
"I said I can't Edward, please don't do this to me! I will embarrass myself!"
"Bella-"
"It is my birthday anyway!" I said, looking at him.
"You got me there!" he huffed. "Okay, not tonight. But when we go to my place you will sing for me," he said and my face lit up. I approached him and put my hands on his chest, tracing circles with my finger.
"Well, I had better things in my mind to do when we get to your place," I said with my Bella-sexy voice.
He closed his eyes and sighed.
"You try to get me hard in the middle of a club?" he asked and I giggled.
"Let's get our seats before the show starts," he said, kissing my temple.
We made our way to a table very close to the stage and sat down, ordering our drinks.
A few minutes later, a tall man came into my view. He smiled at me and then put his hand on Edward's shoulder.
"Hey Boss," he said.
"Hi, Aro. What's up?" Edward asked. Why did he call him boss? Was it like a guy thing or something?
"Um, the new dancer that you hired is late and it is the first song of the show. We can't start," he informed us.
Edward huffed and then spoke.
"Well, call her and tell her that I want her here in two minutes. If she is not, her job is over," Edward said. I suddenly felt something in between my legs.
I was wet!
Angry Edward is so sexy!
They talked a little more and then Aro said goodbye to me and Edward and walked away. I turned to Edward.
"Why did he call you boss?" I asked.
"Because this is who I am," he said calmly.
"You are his boss?" I asked. Edward was a musician so Aro… was a musician too? I was suddenly confused.
"I own the place, Bella," he said casually.
"What?" I asked with wide eyes.
"I am the owner," he stated. "Before I met you, this place and the restaurant were everything to me."
Whoa! What restaurant?
"Restaurant?"
"Oh, yes. The restaurant that we went to on our first date. Do you remember?" he questioned.
"Yes, I remember."
"I own that too," he said with a smile.
"Oh. Um… this is a lot…" I thought over my words for a minute. "This is a lot of money Edward," I stated.
"Nah, the money is not important. You just collect the cash," he explained.
After that I didn't know what to say. Obviously he was rich and he loved his restaurant and club.
"This club is very important to me. I do what I can to keep it organized. And now the new dancer is late," he sighed.
I told him not to worry and that everything will be okay. She would come. I hoped.
A few minutes later I needed to go to the bathroom and so excused myself. Edward showed me the way and I started walking towards a door with the letters WC on the door. I looked around the place and something caught my attention.
I turned my head and my body to the right and my jaw dropped. There were clothes in an open walk-in closet which were fantastic. They were colorful with some of them had wings and feathers. I took some steps closer and walked inside the closet. I lifted my hand and touched the clothes and there I saw a costume of a sexy female police officer. I looked around, checking that no one was there and pulled the costume out. I went to the corner of the closet and undressed. Then I slipped on the costume and I felt really fucking sexy. It was short and black and it made my legs look longer. I put on the black boots that reached my thighs and then I looked down at myself.
I had to see myself in a mirror!
I took a step out of the closet to go to the bathroom. It was two feet away. No one could see me right? If someone does, will they tell Edward? He told me that he cared so much about this club and he wanted it organized and now I had found toys!
Without even thinking I walked out of the closet and ran to the bathroom. I grabbed the handle of the door and I was ready to go in but I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Where are you going?" a woman asked and I turned around to see who it was. It was a dark haired old lady who was very angry.
"I, um-" She cut me off.
"We don't have time. We need you to start the show. And if you are late again the boss won't be happy," she said and grabbed my hand, leading me backstage.
"I am n-"
"Hey you! New girl! Get your ass here." I heard another woman from behind me shout. She was blonde and dressed like me. She was wearing a hat like the police officers. She looked hot.
I went towards her and she gave me another hat.
"We are on stage in five," she said and turned around to leave but I stopped her.
"I don't-"
"You don't know the steps huh? What did I expect from a new girl?" she whispered the last part. "Just follow me and the other girl. It's easy. I hope you know a bit about rock 'n' roll," she said, giving me the look are-you-living-in-this-world?
"Yes," I said, offended. Of course I knew about rock 'n' roll. My father taught me all he knew and he gave me his love about rock 'n' roll.
"Good. We will sing tough lover." My eyes widened. Singing? No, no! Of course I knew the song but I was not going to sing.
"Don't worry," she came closer and put her mouth near my ear. "Play back," she whispered and then turned around and left.
"Two minutes!" the old lady shouted. Another girl with the same clothes as me came and put some make up on my face, murmuring something about me and my make up, and then she pushed me on the stage. Whatthefuckareyoudoing?
I don't know!
You can do this! You just follow the other dancers.
I don't dance.
I know but we have to be positive.
Before my inner monologue was finished, the lights turned off and a soft red light came on.
The music started and I couldn't do anything but watch the two other dancers that were moving their hips and clapped their hands along the music. We were three and the blonde was in the middle and I was to the left.
How am I going to do this? I had a microphone right there, in front of my mouth and I was panicking. But if I turn around and leave the stage the people will be disappointed and displeased and Edward will lose costumers and money.
Thisclubisveryimportanttome, I heard Edward voice in my head.
I couldn't disappoint him.
When the lyrics started the other brunette chick started singing. Well, she wasn't singing, she was moving her mouth along to the lyrics but the people wouldn't notice.
When a few lyrics passed by then the blonde opened her mouth and 'sang'. When she was finished it was my turn. When I opened my mouth to 'sing' the voice was cut off and we were staring at each other with wide eyes.
The music stopped and someone started to pull the curtain down. I couldn't disappoint Edward. I wouldn't. I had to save the song.
Damn it!
I took a few steps to the front of the stage and I was facing the people. There was Edward with a worried face, probably giving directions to his people.
I couldn't disappoint him.
I closed my eyes and started to sing.
"Oh," There was silence. "Ohhh," All that I could hear was my voice. "Ineedatoughlover,yeah,yeah,yeah," then I heard a hesitant musician from the band start to play with his tabor. I smiled at him as I sang. The curtain started to pull up and I was glad.
When the song became faster the piano started to play and then the drums. I was clapping my hands and smiling at the people in the crowd who were wide-eyed.
"When he kisses me, I get that thrill
When he does that wiggle I won't keep still
I wanna a tough lover, yeah, yeah
A tough lover, woo
I need a tough lover yeah, yeah
Tough lover hum hum,"
I sang the song and danced a bit. I looked behind me and lifted my hands, forming a gesture for the girls to come with me and dance.
"The seven sisters got nothing on him
I'm talking about a lover who's fast as the wind
Everyone will talk about how he got me fixed
It ain't voodoo, it's just that twist
Hewillbethegreatestloverthatevercometopass
Don Juan ain't for the half the chance,"
Those lyrics reminded me of Edward. Edward was a tough lover and sure, when he kissed me I got wet pants but 'thrill' is just a word. You just can't describe it.
I finished the song and the girls came and hugged me as the crowed was whistling and shouted. The curtain pulled down and we were back stage again.
The old lady came to me again and looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"How much do you want per day to work with us?"
