The girls go clubbing Part 2
Maura's viewpoint
The ride to the club was an exercise in self-restraint. All I wanted to do was bury myself in Jane's arms; she looked amazing; so unlike the practical Jane I saw most days. She looked good enough to eat and I was determined to gorge myself on every inch of her before the night was over.
I could see that I wasn't the only ones struggling; Natalie and Anastasia were constantly touching each other, little touches that made them shiver and which I found both incredibly erotic and endearing. They had been together for longer than we had, but were obviously as deeply in love as we were.
Natalie caught my eye and winked conspiratorially, tonight had worked out just as she had suggested it would. The look on Jane's face when I stepped into her view had said it all, naked desire, lust and longing. I shivered, feeling that same heat as I ran my eyes up her incredible legs and oh so short skirt. It promised easy access and I intended to make the most of that access tonight.
After a too long ride, the cab dropped us at a nightclub called The Intersection. It was apparently one of LA's hottest ladies-only nightclubs. Dinner then dancing for the rest of the night; my incredible lover and our best friends here in LA by our side, this was going to be an amazing night.
As we walked up to the door I saw a line waiting to get in and for a moment I faltered, I didn't want to wait, I wanted our night to happen now. Without a word Natalie led us straight up to the door past the line and the waiting patrons, as we left a trail of whistles and catcalls behind us.
The two security people on the door, a massive black man who seemed to be a rolling mountain of muscle, and a smaller red-haired woman with an enviable physique smiled as we stepped up. The man cocked his head at us and spoke.
"Ladies, welcome to The Intersection, how are we tonight" Natalie, obviously an old hand at charming her way into nightclubs grinned.
"Good now and better soon I hope"
"Of course it will be, please enjoy your first night with us" I frowned.
"How did you know it was our first visit?" They laughed as the red-head spoke, with a distinct Dublin accent.
"Are you kidding, we'd remember you if you'd been here before" Her eyes ran over all of us, clearly liking what she saw. "I'm Aisling, this is Cletus; can I give you all a piece of advice" We nodded.
"Keep your partners close tonight, this place is full of sharks and you are some of the prettiest shark bait I've ever seen" Natalie reached out and linked her arms though Anastasia's and Jane's, pulling us close together.
"Thanks, but we brought our own Great Whites here tonight"
They stepped aside to let us through.
""As you wish, have a great night" Natalie grinned back at them as we moved inside.
"Thanks, we intend to"
Inside the ground floor was a mostly full mass of women, many out on the dance floor, illuminated by strobes and lasers as they danced to a deep base beat. Ana grabbed my hand and led me to one side as I pulled Jane in tow, yelling to be heard over the music.
"The restaurant is downstairs, bars upstairs" I nodded and turned to see Jane looking around with delight, she loved to dance.
We made our way downstairs, through several sets of heavy doors which blocked more and more of the music as we passed through, into a stylishly decorated basement restaurant. The comparative quiet as we entered the restaurant was a shock after the pounding beat above us.
The female maître d' smiled as we approached; obviously we more than met their standards, leading us to our table.
As we walked over and settled, I noticed that we were the centre of attention for at least a dozen people, maybe more. I wasn't the only one to notice. Jane leaned in to me as we sat.
"Shark bait indeed"
Dinner was good, not great, but the company more than made up for it. The drinks, stories and reminiscences flowed through three courses, but I could tell everyone was anxious to get on the dance floor and work off some of the nervous (and sexual) tension that we all felt. Jane finally stood up, pulling me with her.
"C'mon guys, lets hit the floor, I've got to dance and I wanna show off the prettiest woman here" I blushed as Anastasia smiled lazily and wrapped an arm around Natalie.
"I might have to disagree with my esteemed LAPD colleague, as I think I have the prettiest woman right here" Natalie coloured slightly as Jane laughed and I found myself grinning, talk about competitive...
The dance floor was if anything even louder than when we arrived, but there was still room on the floor for us. We danced for over an hour, our body's close, before we stepped off the floor, heading upstairs to the bar to get a drink and cool down. Fortunately the noise here was bearable, with plenty of tables and booths lining the walls. Most of those were taken, with a lot of couples taking advantage of the dimmer lighting at the back to get passionate.
No sooner had Jane strolled off to get our drinks than an intense blonde walked over to the table and sat down.
"HI, I don't recall seeing you here before and I'd remember you if we met. I'm Keira" I smiled politely and turned partly to face her.
"Hello Keira, I am Maura. These are my friends Natalie and Anastasia and you are sitting in my girlfriend's seat" Not missing a beat, and completely ignoring the warning, Keira leaned towards me and smiled, holding her hand out and running her eyes over me.
"That's ok, I'm only asking for a dance, at least that's all I want right now" I felt the smile fall off my face as she persisted despite being politely told no. Before I could say anything Anastasia leant over, her voice lightly mocking.
"What Maura is politely trying to tell you Keira, is that you don't meet her, or our, standards. Now you can take the polite hint and leave, or you can stay here and get your ass kicked by Jane when she gets back, unless I decide to do it first" She gently smiled as she leaned back, watching Keira closely.
Keira frowned as she sized up Anastasia, obviously realising that she was quite confident of being able to deal with Keira if it came to that.
"Fine, no need to get hostile; hey baby, you change your mind, I'll be around" She got up and left as I saw Jane making her way through the crowd carrying our drinks, a frown on her face as she saw Keira walk away.
"Who was that?" I leaned in and kissed her cheek.
"Someone who was persistent" Natalie laughed.
"A wannabe shark, took one look at Ana's teeth and left quickly"
Anastasia laughed and Jane smiled, as she looked around to see if Keira was anywhere near. Natalie leaned in and spoke quietly.
"She may have been the first, but she won't be the last tonight"
Over the next three hours Natalie's prediction was proven right, as each of us found ourselves being hit on regularly, some were polite, some blatant, one or two obnoxiously persistent.
Mostly they backed off when challenged, although one woman who wouldn't leave Natalie alone ended up being asked to leave after she refused to take no for an answer. Cletus came in response to a call from the bar, to find the woman face down on the floor with Jane holding her hands behind her back. He lifted her up off the floor, dusted her off and told her she had 60 seconds to get out, or he would throw her out.
She was shocked when her threat to call the police and press assault charges saw us laugh in her face. Jane leaned in to Cletus and obviously told him we were LAPD, as he told the woman that she was very close to being permanently barred from the club,. She either called it a night and left, or she could be thrown out, never to return. Fortunately she left, without making a bigger scene.
We returned to the dance floor several times during the night, working off the tension and thoroughly enjoying our night, at least there we were left alone. I watched Natalie and Anastasia together as they moved together; they looked good dancing close and moved as one on the floor.
It was getting late as Jane headed off to the bar to get our final round. I noticed the crowd had thinned out a lot, so accompanied by Ana I visited the bathroom. We had already noticed that there was safety in numbers, as Jane and Natalie had both been accosted in there earlier.
A few minutes later, as we made our way back to our seats, I saw that Natalie wasn't there. Looking around I saw her striding towards the bar, where an attractive, vaguely familiar dirty blonde woman was standing in front of Jane, trapping her against the bar and locked in an obviously heated conversation with her. I grabbed Anastasia's arm and indicated the scene at the bar.
"It looks like there may be trouble" She nodded. A small crowd was watching, including what were obviously several of the blonde's entourage.
"Shit yeah, Nat's wearing her 'don't piss me off' expression"
As we approached, I saw the blonde, who I recognised as some minor Hollywood actress, reach out and stroke Jane's arm. She might have missed it but I could tell that Jane was seconds from ripping her arm off, but was desperately trying to restrain herself. I saw Anastasia catch the bartender's eye and mimic dialling a call, she nodded and picked up a phone.
That's when Natalie stalked up, slid her arm around Jane's waist and leaned over to kiss her on the neck, before wrapping herself against Jane in an obviously possessive move. Jane had looked surprised for a moment but obviously Natalie had whispered something to her as she relaxed a fraction.
The actress looked incredibly irritated and I heard her demand to know who Natalie was.
As Jane automatically snuggled her arm around Natalie's waist Natalie smiled at her, before turning her attention to the interloper. Her voice rag out over the watching hush.
"I'm the one telling you to get your paws off my girlfriend, she's not interested in you and neither am I" Catching sight of us approaching Natalie's smile widened. "I'm actually doing you a favour; I'm the peacemaker, not like the rest of our partners, who are a lot less forgiving than me"
"What the hell do you mean? Forgiving""
Seeing what Natalie was doing, and wanting to calm Jane, I stepped up and slid my arm around her waist, just above Natalie's arm, as I leaned in to kiss Jane full on the lips. Feeling her respond, I dragged it out for a second or two, feeling Jane's arm slide around my wait, pulling me in close before I pulled back and stared down the insufferable woman in front of us.
"What she means is that you do not have to worry about her, you have to worry about me"
I felt Anastasia step up beside me and slide her arm around my shoulders and leaning her head against mine, the four of us a tight knot facing the woman.
"You? Do you have any idea who I am?" I heard Jane and Anastasia both laugh, while Natalie smirked nastily at her.
"Did you really say that, oh my god, that's pathetic" Her voice changed to a nasal whine, mocking her words. "Do you know who I am? Oh please?"
I smiled at the blonde as I spoke, dragging her shocked attention away from Natalie.
"You are a third rate actress and second rate celebrity as I understand it, trading on the fact that you are a part-time lesbian to generate some celebrity value as your career has stalled. Your numerous drug and DUI convictions make an interesting footnote to the ongoing train wreck that your so-called career has become" I saw her eyes widen in shock. Before she could respond I spoke again.
"Not to mention the obvious symptoms of cocaine addiction that you are showing every sign of, such as the dilated pupils, the weight loss and the hyperactivity. It does go a long way to explain your diminished status amongst your peers and the refusal of studio's to employ you"
"Who the hell are you to talk to me like that bitch?" I thought she was going to try and hit me when Jane spoke.
"She's my girlfriend, someone with more class in her little finger than you have in your entire shitty life, so why don't you take the hint and leave, before you get hurt"
"Fuck you" The expression on her face was sheer ugliness. I noticed however that many of the people watching were grinning at her predicament; obviously she wasn't a particularly welcome presence here.
Jane smiled at her, hugging Natalie and I closer to her.
"Thanks for the offer, but I have so many much better options right here" Anastasia laughed at her furious expression, diverting her from Jane.
"Besides, we don't pick up crack whores, you can never tell where they've been, or the nasty shit they're carrying" Anastasia turned her head to kiss my neck, making me shiver before continuing. "Anyway, I'm down to my last twenty dollar note and I'm saving that for a cab, not you, besides, there's no way you'd be worth a ten dollar tip" The expression on her face turned dark and feral.
"I don't care who you are bitch, no one talks to me like that" I saw her throw her hand back to swing at us when Aisling's hand closed around it, stopping her dead.
"Ow, let me go!" Ailing frowned at her.
"I don't think so miss. I believe you should leave before anything happens that might involve the police" She released her hand, watching her closely. I shouldn't have said anything, but couldn't resist.
"I believe that the liberal terms of your current parole status would cease if a charge was laid, particularly a drug-related one"
She looked at me, sneering, trying to regain the upper hand.
"You'd call the police? You weak cunt!" I smiled turning to Jane.
"Yes I believe I would, do you agree, Detective" The blood drained from her face.
"You, you're a cop?" I could hear the disbelief in her voice, as she took in the stunning woman in front of her.
Anastasia leaned into me and smiled broadly as she pulled her badge out of her purse, letting her see it.
"We all are, now you can leave or we can wait for a black and white to arrive and check you and your friend's bags for cocaine" At that I saw the faces of her entourage go white with fear. They grabbed at her and started to pull her away as we stood there.
Natalie smiled wickedly and spoke loudly enough to be heard by the watching crowd.
"Baby, let's go home, I'm tired and want to go to bed" Jane laughed softly, hugging us both.
"Sure thing babe"
I looked to Aisling, who was watching us closely.
"You lot are all involved?" Anastasia nodded.
"Jane and Maura here are a couple, Nat and I are as well" She sighed.
"So you're not an open relationship thing" I shook my head.
"No, just good friends" Aisling started chuckling as she shook her head.
"Damn, I was going to ask if you had any vacancies open" We all started laughing, the tension bleeding off. "You ladies need a cab ride home right? I'll call one for you"
We nodded and walked to the stairs, ignoring the venomous stares from the actress and her cronies as we left, but catching a few nods of thanks from other patrons as we passed. I gathered she wasn't a popular patron.
"Natalie leaned past Jane and whispered to me.
"Shit Maura; that was awesome. I was going to tear strips off her, but you were clinically cold and brutal. Remind me never to piss you off" I smiled at her.
"There is no chance of that Natalie, besides, I need to thank you for coming to Jane's aid" She laughed happily.
"Well, you would have done it but weren't there, so it was the least I could do. Hope I didn't startle you Jane"
Jane looked down at her, where she was still held in close to her side.
"It did surprise me for a moment, but thanks for the save"
Anastasia swapped sides, looping her arm around Natalie as we reached the stairs.
Jane suddenly laughed, wrapping her arms around me and lifting me up to spin around, my feet swinging as I was held in her strong arms. Finally she put me down and leaned in for a deep kiss, full of promise. Finally breaking the contact, she looked over at our friends.
"Well that was a fun night, what are we doing next week""
