Another busy evening.
Men sitting about on the stained velvet chairs, ogling and practically drooling at the sight of the women dancing on stage.
They're silk and satin clothes, slowly being peeled off of their well taken care of bodies, for the entertainment of these men, the men that pay enough and more to survive in this world.
You, were simply a floor host.
People usually tried to persuade you or even bribe you to take a piece of clothing off here and there but you stayed true to your job. Honestly though, you felt the women who were up on stage had gorgeous bodies and wonderful confidence, something you felt you lacked but it were okay.
You were very content with yourself.
"Hey, where is the girl who wears white all the time?" You jumped at the gruff voice, snapping you out of your daze.
"Oh, um, my apologies. I must have been spaced out. She doesn't work tonight. Her name is Snow Paw. She only works on Wednesday evenings."
"When do you go on stage then?"
"Huh?" The man looked you up and down before smirking.
"How much to take that sophisticated little dress off?"
"You must be mistaken. I am the floor host. I am not an entertainer of any sort. Just like before, I am here to answer your questions and make sure everything is up to par for our clients."
"Those are all things I don't care for... Smile for me."
"Excuse me?"
"Smile. For. Me." The closer he got, the more liquor you smelled on his breath.
"Sir, please sit back down at your table. It is too busy tonight."
"I'm willing to pay."
"Sir-" A hand was placed on your waist and an all too familiar voice rasped in annoyance.
"You heard the lady. She doesn't entertain. Now get back to your seat for the girls who do. You're wasting everyone's time." Looking up, you saw Jabra, glaring at the man just about his size. With one last look your way and a grumble, he retreated to his seat far from where the two of you stood.
A sigh of relief escaped your lips as you turned to him.
"Thank you. I'm sure I could've handled it though." He scoffed before sitting down on a random chair at an empty table.
"Yeah, you were doing so good before I showed up." You couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you doing here anyways?"
"Why do you think? I'm here to see you." His eyes wandered all over your body before meeting your gaze again.
"That's a fancy dress."
"It's what I have to wear for work. You know, sparkles, glitter, slit on the side. Anything to appeal to the males eyes." Teasing him with the last sentence as you caught him looking at your revealed thigh, he laughed before tapping the table.
"The usual babe."
"Jabra, have you ever gotten tired of traveling so far to see me?"
"Nah. You guys have high quality alcohol here and good prices."
"I don't make you pay." You handed him the glass, smirking at the man. He nodded and placed his pointer under your chin, taking advantage of how you were now close to him.
"I'm aware but if you were ever mad at me, at least I know I'd afford it." Slapping his hand away, you laughed at his words, taking a seat beside him.
"I probably won't be able to join you for long since it's busy but I'd like to just enjoy what I can."
"I understand. When are you off?"
"Well, we're supposed to close the doors in another 4 hours. Will you wait for me then?" You watched as he took a sip from the crystal glass cup. You couldn't help but be amazed at how handsome this rough man was. Even with the scar down his eye, it made him look dangerous yet so strong. Strong enough to make you feel protected when he were around.
His eyes snapped your way, lips curling into another smirk. A smirk that held devious intentions.
"What's in it for me, babe?" Only he can bring out the devilish side of you.
"What do you want~" You leaned closer, cheek resting on your palm lazily, reflecting his smirk.
Oh he liked that.
"I think you know, (Y/N)." A low growl followed his statement as he leaned closer to you, just a few inches away from your face.
"Come back and we'll see if we were on the same page then?" Pulling away, you could tell he were a bit frustrated and impatient after the words that had just been exchanged but you liked him that way. It ensured that he would stay for you.
"I'll be here then."
