Thread: Pretty Hurts [Chai & AlluringEnigma]

Kiara. Ki. Feisty name for a feisty girl. It was short and sweet but filled with so much sassthe same sass that dripped off her tongue and into her honeyed voice. Valentine wondered for a brief moment what else Ki could do with that sassy little mouth, and she would have asked, too, if she hadn't known the girl for all of ten seconds. She didn't normally talk about her private life with curious men, but she almost always made the exception for curious women, especially the ones she met at the clubs. It was hard not to flirt with them, even when she knew it was part of the job description for anyone who worked at a titty bar. What could she say she liked girls just as much as she liked guys, even more so when they were pretty ones that hit on her. But she kept those thoughts to herself, simply watching as the bartender rimmed a glass with lime juice and dipped it into a shallow container of sugar. Thanks, Valentine said, sinking her body further into the bar, the outline of her bust spilling over onto the surface. I try, both on stage and in private, but personally, I think my private shows are so much more exciting. I like to get really... hands on, y'know? Up close and personal. Maybe I can show you when you're done here. You seem like the kind of woman who's good with her hands... being a bartender and all. She let the innuendo hang in the air as the main dancer finally took the stage, the beat of the music slowing and changing once more to something more hip-hop based. The base thudded through the floor and the lights lowered to more blue tones, but the dancer's pretty face could still be seen from the glow of the white stage. Valentine knew her she'd met Jade at one of the local pole fitness places where she taught the occasional masterclass for aspiring Vegas strippers. Even back then, she'd pegged the young blonde as a high-flier from the group, and it had only taken a year for her to get noticed as a main money maker. They'd stayed in touch, naturallyit was good to have contacts in any business, and stripping was no different. Listen, she said turning back to Kiara, one side of her red lips curling upwards into a smirk, Jadeup there loves to party backstage after her routines. She invited me, of course, and I didn't have a date to bring, but maybe I do now. If you're up for it, I mean. We can even see about getting... Up close and personal. She paused for a moment before adding, With the dancers. Valentine's smirk had transformed into a full, toothy grin, and she turned just in time to catch a passing girl, the one who she'd originally been looking for. Becca! Hey, do you mind covering for Ki for just a moment? I promised I'd take her to meet Jade, and you know me, I'm all about keeping my promises. Becca's own knowing smile lit up, and she arched an eyebrow at the dancer. Sure, 'course I will. Then placing a tray of empty glasses and bottles on the bar, she leaned in and giggled at the other bartender. Have lots of fun, Ki. It was kind of a ritual Valentine had with people she met that she wanted to continue to know. Nothing hit a person's sweet spot better than flattery and free booze, and she loved doing it for pretty girls. Oh, and send a bottle of Croc and some mixers to the big VIP room. We're having a fun little girls' party. You know, the usual. And with that, she sauntered away to back of the club.
