Chapter 2: Learning The Basics

"Oh my god I'm so excited for you!" Cora squealed as soon as we got out of the building.

"Thanks Cora, you're the one who made it happen."

We climbed into the car and Cora started to drive off.

Stiles took in a deep breath, and couldn't wipe the smile off his face. He was nervous, but excited at the same time. He knew working at the club would be intense, or so he figured just based on Derek, but he hoped it would be fun too.

"You got the worst part over with, everything after should be fun." Cora smiled, glancing at Stiles before looking back to the road.

"Cora, have you stripped before?" Stiles asked. He thought it was a little strange how Cora knew so much about stripping. He thought back to when they saw Magic Mike, and she would make comments about what was fake and what wasn't.

"No, but I followed my brother around for a while when he first started the business. After the fire, I found out he started stripping when he kept coming home super late and when I found all of his costumes, which he hid pretty well. I wasn't mad, rather intrigued really, so I would come with him when he was shopping for costumes, and I got free drinks at the club, so." Cora shrugged.

"So when did he start his business?"

"A couple years back. He liked stripping, but it wasn't enough to support the both of us, I was living with him, and had a job at Wendy's. Technically I guess it was enough, but I could tell he got bored, so he started his own club."

Stiles nodded. That was pretty cool.

"You hungry?" Cora asked.

"You already know the answer to that." Stiles smirked. She snorted, and pulled into a restaurant.

"You going to let me get extra large curly fries this time?" Stiles asked, unbuckling and getting out of the car.

"Only because this is your celebration food."

They both headed inside and ordered burgers, and were both drooling by the time the food came.

"You know, when you said you wanted to help, I thought maybe you meant a job down at the library or something."

"Hell no. You, at a library? Yeah right."

"Hey, I love the library, and books! I would be good at a job like that."

"Yeah, except for the fact that you'd be working for cranky old Mrs. Wilbertson, who will take a penny out of your paycheck for every time you talk."

"Yeah, that would be a problem." Stiles took a drink of his Sprite.

"Do you even like your job?"

Cora shrugged, and finished off the last bite of her burger. That was another thing Stiles liked about Cora, the girl wasn't afraid to eat.

"It's alright, honestly. Not real exciting, but every once and a while you'll catch a kid eating Cheetos while reading." Stiles laughed. Cora paid for their lunch, and they both got back in the car, stuffed.

"You know I probably should start working out and stuff now."

Cora snorted. "You say that right after you eat a triple pounder? And anyways, I'm surprised that's what you're concerned about."

"Should I be concerned about anything else?"

"Not really." Cora shrugged. "I just figure you would be freaking out a little about, oh I don't know, the costumes, people shoving money down your pants, showing your bits off."
