kissing in cars -- open

[zeppelin rush adair]

Work, she wasn't thrilled. But she didn't care. Zeppelin really had no problem with being a stripper. Well, she did. But whatever put bread on the table really. She rolled out of her bed. She always slept late, considering last night's escapade with two guys. Hey, she liked sex, that's why she took off her clothes for strangers to make a living. She was required to have some fun with those customers right? Right, of course. Running a hand through her platinum blonde hair, trying to straighten out the tangles before she jumped into the shower and washed off all the sweat and scum from last night. She wandered into the bathroom and turned it out, the room filling up with steam as she pulled off whatever she was wearing from the night before and stepped in, taking the body wash and scrubbing herself with the body sponge or whatever you call it.

After a few minutes she stepped out and wrapped a soft towel around her thin body and one around her head as she walked back into her room. She pulled out drawers. Picking out the outfit she was going to wear underneath her stripper outfit at work, the slightly see through underwear and bra worked as she slipped them on. She pulled out a Metallica t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Pulling them over her underwear and bra. Next were her heels that she snapped on and then grabbed her purse, walking down the steps of her apartment and out the door to her car, unlocking it and slipping inside, starting the engine and driving down to Cherry Poppers.

It only took a few minutes before she pulled into the parking lot and got out,slipping through the employee's door and past a few girls changing. She stopped at her room and slipped inside. She was pretty good at taking her clothes off, huge tips, she got to dance a lot of nights and all of that she kept up with her classes and studies. It was well, nice. Better than being tossed around family to family. She quickly changed out of her t-shirt and shorts and into the short pink shirt and corset. Once she was done with her dark make up and red lips, she walked into the bar area and ordered a drink, something strong. She always concentrated better with alcohol.

Why did he have to say yes? Stefan groaned mentally, sure that this trip to the damn strip club would only be trouble. Oh, he loved staring at half – naked chicks swinging around some pole as much as the next guy, but he wasn’t exactly a regular customer here. This was one of his first times in a strip club, and it made him a tad uncomfortable. It didn’t help that his friends, the people that dragged him over here, were already by the stage, waiting for the show to start while they downed shot after shot after shot. Hmm. That did look like fun, he thought as he watched the group mess around. Still, he stayed at the bar area, and ordered a shot of vodka, and to keep them coming. He always felt more loose once he had alcohol in it. Calmer and more likely to do something incredibly stupid. That’s what made it fun.

The glass slid down to him, and he caught it easily. He tipped the glass to his mouth, bottoms up, and swallowed the vodka. God, that heat down his throat was awesome. Almost immediately, a new glass had flown to him, and again, he caught it, though he didn’t drink it immediately this time. Stefan could hold his alcohol well, but it would’ve been pretty stupid to keep going and going this early. Nah, he’ll save it for later, when the place gets a little more interesting. At the moment, it was still early, and the place wasn’t even half – full, probably because the shows haven’t started yet.

Downing the current drink is his hand, he glanced sideways as a girl in a skimpy outfit sat next to him, ordering a drink too. Judging from the flashy, sexy outfit she had on, she was probably a worker here, and by worker, than meant dancer, and dancer meant stripped. And, with a bit of shock, he recognized her; a student at the University like him. Whoa, guess people really did do hard jobs to pay through college. Oh well, no hard in chatting her up, Stefan thought. She was hot as hell, after all, and she probably recognized him too. “On me.” He said after her order. It wasn’t meant to impress, he just wanted to buy her a drink. “Hello… Zepp, right?” He said, flashing her a quick smile. He had no idea if she appreciated him talking, as he barely knew her anyway. He just hoped he won’t be shot down too badly.

One would think that Zeppelin would be pretty comfortable with the whole strip club scene. Well, she wasn't. Which was probably why she had to down a half of bottle of vodka just to get herself in the mood to strip. She hoped her little show wasn't till later, she hadn't even checked in with the boss yet. She should of gotten her schedule yesterday though. She sighed softly, twirling her blond hair in between her fingers. Sure, she was underaged, but they would never deny her alcohol. It wasn't a good idea. She could quiet and find somewhere else to work at. She was like that, Zeppelin was pretty vicious at times, but that's when she couldn't get what she wanted.

The one thing that Zeppelin hated most in the world was when people actually recongnized her. She wasn't sure how the hell it happened. It just did though. That was why she kept downing some alcohol. She knew that sometimes people she knew came around. She moved a hand through her hair and looked up at the clock. She guessed she wasn't on until someone ran out to get her. People from the back saw her leave and go up to the front, she couldn't be that hard to find either. She was wearing mimimal clothes.

As she ordered another drink, she heard a voice. "On me" She turned her head to the side, her eyes scanned his face. He was familiar. She knew she knew him from somewhere. Maybe school? He looked like someone who she probably went to school with. Talk to? Probably not, the girl kept to herself, just pulling herself through the work. It was easier that way, or at least that how she thought about it. She bit down on her lip as he spoke her name and she nodded her head, as if to well, clarify that it was her name. Suddenly, his name came to her mind. "Stefan right?" She asked as she watched the bartender placing the drink in front of her and she took a sip. She couldn't help but look over the guy again. He was pretty hott, she had to admit. But of course, Zeppelin would probably act like a tease.

Hmm. Looks like things were about to start. The lights began to dim anyway, and the slow, sensual music began to play in the strip club. A few bouts of applause, some guys hooting. Really, it was as if the key to world peace was about to be presented. But no, just some girls shaking their asses on the stage. Turning his attention away from it, he decided to have a nice chat with this girl beside instead. He’ll enjoy the show later, if he fancied it, though something about watching it with all the crazy people there turned him off a little from the idea.

Good, looks like she did recognize him, even though he wasn’t well – known or outgoing in school. Guess that made both of them. Stefan was a bit relieved when she nodded and confirmed was the right person, and that he wasn’t chatting with a total stranger. That wasn’t something he usually did. Still, they were barely chatting anyway, with only a couple of words between them. “Yes.” He said, sipping the current drink in his hand. It was the third one. “Stefan Ian Diamanti…” He turned to her, making the introduction, as he figured that hadn’t been introduced before and now was a good time as any. He did feel a bit self – conscious when she looked her over again. Wasn’t used to attracting any attention, Stefan was. Especially not the pretty girls’.

“You work here… yeah?” Stefan asked, his tone not condemning or anything. He really didn’t care that she could be a stripper. It was just a job, something that’ll help put her through college. Oh, well, it was something he didn’t have to do, as his family took care of the bills, and he was grateful. Though he still worked, of course. Always needed that extra bit of cash, especially when he kept blowing it on things like… booze, for example.

“You look nice.” Ha. By nice, he meant fucking hot. Her ‘costume’ showed off all her curves and then some. Even though he was usually pretty reserved, between the slight booze influence and her looks, he couldn’t help but to get more enthusiastic about everything. That included drinking, of course, as he drank the rest that was on his glass. Another on slid in, making him grin. The service here was excellent.

[zeppelin rush adair]

She was trying to remember what time she was needed to go on. As she looked on stage to see which girls were on. It looked like she had some time because the girls that were on now, were the beginners. Ones that they put on as a opener. She wasn't a opener thank god. She use to feel awkward like the girls up there. Taking another sip of her drink, she redirected her attention to the male next to her. Hey, it beat being back there with a bunch of girls who bitched and moaned about walking in heels or shit like that.

She was pretty happy she was drinking right now. Zeppelin's social life...was pretty much non existent. Probably cause people thought she was a bitch, which was something she couldn't deny because she was a bitch. Sober that is, well...She was a bitch when she wasn't sober too but not that bad. She wasn't snapping at him, which was a good sign. She finished her second drink and motioned the bartender for a refill. She needed this more than anything right now. When he answered her, she was quite surprised that she had gotten his name right. Which was weird, because well...reasons given, she didn't talk to anyone. "Well, then Stefan. What class do I have you in? Sorry, I don't pay that much attention to anyone." She admitted with a small smirk.

“You work here… yeah?”

She nodded her head, her bangs swishing in her face as she pushed them away. "Yep, what are you here to see my show?" Yeah, she couldn't keep the smirk off of her face. That was Zeppelin for you thought. Sometimes she wished that she had a nice stable family, even though that dream was never to come true. So, she just took what she got and as of right now this was it and it may have bothered her a little. But it was whatever..

She lifted her eyebrow at his next comment and let out a soft laugh. "Yeah? I'll look even better without some of this on." Okay, sometimes the girl could get a bit conceited but who wouldn't? With a body like hers. She had a reason too. She finished off her glass and ordered a shot of whatever they had. She could feel the alcohol setting in but that was fine. Being buzzed would make the show all the better. "So what are you doing here?" She asked, twirling her blond hair in between her fingers.

Oh, Stefan had no idea which class they had together. Or at least, he couldn’t remember. Maybe something like humanities? He didn’t pay too much attention in class anyway. “No idea.” And he didn’t know everyone’s names. Heck, he barely even knew the people who invited him here. “And same here.” He said, grinning. Looks like they had that much in common. He was just bored, and they were insistent, that’s why he came with them. And they looked like they were already enjoying themselves, as a few girls began to dance, opening everything up. Though he was no expert, they looked… robotic. Nervous, maybe. “Are they just starting out?” He murmured, tilting his head as he watched them dance. One removed her top, and to Stefan, that was enough for now. He looked at Zepp again, seeing her smirk. The coy look suited her.

Oh. Confident was she? Well, she had every right to be. She knew she was gorgeous and most guys would drool right at her. “Actually, I didn’t even know you worked here.” He said honestly, hoping she didn’t take that negatively. “I’ve never been here before.” He chuckled nervously, then taking sipping the drink to calm down. Whew, the booze here was great. “Though I’m sure you’re famous for your acts up there.” He said, having no doubt. Hot chick, good dancing, and nakedness mixed together usually got your name thrown around. He chuckled, thinking that it was nice chatting with Zepp. Hmm. Maybe they should hang at school. Well, he’ll probably seek her out more often, if things didn’t go downhill from here.

“Oh, I’m sure.” Such a teasing girl. Though Stefan did enjoy it. “I’d love to see what’s under those.” He laughed quietly, getting out of his shell bit by bit. He wasn’t this daring, usually. Booze and the atmosphere did it to him. “Oh. I was just dragged here.” He said, motioning at a group of rowdy guys hooting by the stage. “Party of a sort.” He really didn’t know why he was invited, but he supposed it was cool. He was getting to spend time with Zepp anyway. “I’m having fun so far though.” He said, smiling at her, wordlessly saying that she was the reason for his enjoyment. He watched her play with a lock of her hair just as the music changed again, implying that the first act was over.

[/size]

[zeppelin rush adair]

It wasn't like Zeppelin didn't like school because she did. She absolutely loved learning which probably sounded weird because one look at her had you thinking that she was a rebel and hated school, well that was fine with her. "I guess that's what I get for not paying attention to my schedule." She said with a shrug of her shoulders. She turned her eyes again on the dancers, they weren't that bad but she nodded her head at Stefan. "They put the beginners first for some reason. They aren't comfortable on stage yet. Usually, I would tell them to go get some drinks in them. But they'd probably get sick from all the nerves." She said as she looked at him then the stage again. Sometimes she really wished she could help out some of the girls but she knew she couldn't she had her own problems to worry about.

Oh a newcomer. That was interesting. "Ahh, good. I mean, I don't usually like people from school knowing. But it gets out. I mean there is guys at school that come up to me and tell me all this creepy shit." She said rolling her eyes. "I got use to it though." She took another sip, wondering when to cut herself off. Haha, her cutting herself off. Ever since she stopped doing drugs, alcohol had been her vice. Zeppelin wasn't sure how far this little chat would go. Usually, she kept to herself outside of school with one or two friends who put up with her. She wondered if he thought she was this friendly at school because she sure as hell wasn't.

She couldn't help but laugh and look over him again. "Maybe you'll find out soon." She said winking at him. A tease and a flirt, she couldn't help it at all. She listened to him as she looked over at the guys by the stage. Ah, they were around a lot. She smiled at him. "I know them. They are always here usually. Glad they brought someone new along though. It gets boring seeing the same faces." She looked back up stage to see the second act. She only had either one more after this or two more after this to go till she had to go on. She hoped Stefan would stay for her.

Well, I don’t pay attention to class, Stefan might’ve said, but he kept his mouth shut and just shrugged. “Oh, I see.” He said, nodding as he was informed that the beginners were put on the start, to warm everyone up. He felt sorry for them really, putting their bodies on the line for cash. Sure, some girls could do it, and it looked like Zepp didn’t mind, but to some of the girls here, it was only a harsh reality. They had to work, dance and show their tits so they can live. Ugh. He wasn’t supposed to be thinking about this. There was little he could do about it anyway, at least for now. He chuckled again when Zepp mentioned that alcohol would calm the new girls down, only it might make them puke. “Well, they’ll get used to it.” He said, the words a little cold, but it was the truth. “They should get treated to an after show drink though. To calm them down...”

Yeah, Stefan could imagine the inconvenience if people found out that you were a stripper. The job had nasty strings attached to it, and it usually connoted sluttiness or a lack of class. Far from the truth, as it appears; some of these girls were just trying to earn a living, or pay their way through college. To Stefan, it was as good a job as any. ”Whoa. That fucking sucks.” He said, though it didn’t surprise him that some guys did that. Impulsive and sex – crazed. “Kick him right where it hurts, and he’ll back off.” He suggested, grinning. Girls who put on a tough mask were usually left alone.

Oh, was that an invitation? Well, he couldn’t refuse her. Grinning, he tried to keep it cool. He loved it when girls were the one who started things; he was a bit shy by himself. “Yeah. I’d rather not watch with them though.” And yeah, he would’ve liked it if he got to chat with Zepp all by himself, without any other guys messing around nearby. He gestured at the rest of the crowd, who were getting louder and louder as more… experienced girls showed their stuff. Chuckling as he heard that the guys were regulars, it didn’t surprise him at all. Those guys always talked about how hot it was here. Stefan rolled his eyes at them, looks like they were a deprived little bunch. “I’m happy they brought me here too.”

“So are you going to come on soon?” He asked, even though it sounded a bit sick. He didn’t want her to go, but he had to admit; he did want to find out what was under her clothes. He grinned and winked, then finished the last drink. Ugh, he knew he had enough. He’ll order more later…

[/size]

[zeppelin rush adair]

She wasn't realy sure what else to say about the new girls. She knew some of them had came up to her for advice and she just said the same thing the whole time, don't worry, just dance. She had told them to think they were alone or something. It had never helped her, but she tried to do what she could. She ran a hand through her hair again, then placing it back on the glass and bringing it back up to her lips and drinking from it. She was taking it easy. Good thing too, she knew she was drunk. She nodded in a agreement with him. "They should, I think they do. I forget what happened when I started out." That was because she was high on coke the whole time. But hey, it helped her get through the rough parts.

It was weird, she was oddly confident that maybe Stefan wouldn't tell anyone at the school about her job. She wasn't that much of a slut, going home with random guys didn't happen every night, it did happen enough though, that she could build the slut reputation. She couldn't help but nod and agree with him. "Eh, I just tell them to back off, usually the point gets across when I punch them" She said with a smile. Which was true, she did happen to punch them most of the time, they knew to back off then. They figured if she had a good right hook, she could take them down.

She smiled and looked back at the rowdy boys again. " Yeah, they don't seem too fun to be around sometimes I guess." She said with a shrug of her shoulders as she glanced at him and then looked at her glass. She couldn't help but smile at his comment.

She looked at the stage and realized that yeah, she had to go on soon. " Yeah, pretty soon. Actually. " She said as she winked back and looked at her glass on the table. Hopefully, this will last her.

[stefan ian diamanti]

Ah, well looks like the owners of this place weren’t totally heartless, as they let the girls have something to take their mind off things after they did their job. Stefan nodded; though it wasn’t a perfect solution, it was better than nothing. “Oh, right. That’s okay.” He said when Zepp said that she had already forgotten what happened when she started out. He understood that one might want to forget about these things. He took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of alcohol and perfume, and found himself just a bit more intoxicated. He was getting drunk, and even though he didn’t get that was easily, he’s had a lot to drink so far. It didn’t help that the bartender was more than willing to slide drinks his way.

Stefan laughed quietly when Zepp mentioned that she was able to keep the creepers off by punching them. “That’s the best way to get them to stay away really.” He kept on smiling; he could just imagine Zepp, in her lithe frame, giving a guy a fist across the face, leading to a black eye or a broken nose and muttered apologies. Funny. Aha. But it could happen to him, if he didn’t mind his own business. He remembered the time when he was slapped right across the cheek for wolf – whistling at the wrong, pissed off chick. The experience was traumatizing; he hadn’t done that since he received that red mark across his face. The memory brought another chuckle to his lips, making look just a bit crazy, laughing with himself.

“Mhm. They’re drunk all the time and their head’s filled with only three things.” He explained, taking another glance at the group. He believed himself to be… more civilized than them, though his current drunken state was jeopardizing that belief. “Sex, booze, and strippers.” He muttered before laughing. Whoa. He wasn’t able to stop himself there. He rarely talked about other people, but he was getting less and less… inhibited because of the influences. Then he looked up the stage when Zepp said that she’ll go on soon. “I’ll be watching.” He winked. Yeah, looks like the other girls were making their exit. “Well, good luck. I’m sure you’ll do great.” Impulsively, he leaned to her and kissed her cheek, for luck. Gah, fucking alcohol. “Aha. Sorry.” He shrugged and raised his glass, giving her the reason for why he did that. God, he hoped he didn’t get a slap for that. He was just honestly wishing her luck because he was beginning to take a liking to her.

[/size]

[zeppelin rush adair]

Zeppelin knew the owners of the place, they weren't bad people. She knew that people always tended to think that strip club owners were grimy people, that just wasn't the case though. The man who ran the club was a pretty nice person, he gave fair pay to the strippers and workers, no one really complained about anything and that was the good thing. If people weren't assholes that meant everything was fine and for Zeppelin that was enough, it meant that everyone was paid and kept happy with free drinks and she could live with that. She couldn't help but thinking about the old days again and how they were a bit darker then now. Shaking the thoughts from her head she looked at Stefan, he seemed pretty drunk already.

She couldn't help but nod. "Yeah, although it does suck when you almost break your hand on their faces." She said as she shook her head, looking down at her right hand. There was a bruise there from a few weeks ago when she had to defend herself against some tall beefy guy. It was kinda scary but she had gone through worse things in her childhood, scary guys were the last of them. She had hit many guys before. She use to be pretty bad in middle school before they learned how to straighten her out and that was by threatening to send her back to her parents. All families did that to her, so she just tried to be good, but she couldn't help it if she was bad once or twice or a lot.

She was pretty sure that it was the thoughts that fill all guys minds when they entertained the strip club but she wasn't sure. Except she looked at the next number and realized it was probably time for her to go back soon. She looked at Stefan then to the back door when one of the girls were waving at her. "Oh thanks" She said as she started to get up but only to get a kiss on the cheek. She couldn't help but small. "Don't be sorry." She said when she got up and winked at him before making her way back towards the door.

[stefan ian diamanti]

Stefan waved at Zepp, who was facing away from him as she went to the door, probably the backdoor which led to the stage or changing rooms. He was thankful that she just smiled and winked at the kiss; he really didn’t want to get slapped. Then he faced the bar again, spinning his chair. He looked from side to side, and noticed that he was alone at the bar, with only the bartender as company. Looks like almost everyone had already taken their seats near the stage while he had been talking to Zepp, which made him realize that Zepp was a seasoned performer. Yes, well she did seem like she knew her stuff. By now, anyone who was still far from the stage were walking, or stumbling to it. Ah well, he won’t move now; his place was comfortable and the idea of being with the rowdier people didn’t appeal to him at the moment.

“All alone.” He mused, grinning slightly, looking at the new drink in his hand. No more. Any more and he just might lose the remaining self control he had. He slid the glass against the bar quickly with both his hands, waiting for Zepp to come on, just like the other people. While playing with the glass, he fiddled with the idea of leaving, but he promised her that he’d stay, and he did want to. Hmm. Maybe he wasn’t too different from the rest of the people here. Still, she had been fun, and even though it might be awkward seeing her up there on the stage, he thought he’d enjoy it anyway. Hey, even he wasn’t that gentlemanly, even if he did act as if he was.

Taking another glance at the bartender, he remembered that he had yet to pay for anything. He reached into his back pocket and opened his wallet noiselessly, roughly counting what he thought was a fair amount. Well, more than fair, as Stefan was generous by heart. And the alcohol and good service made him even more willing to pony up.

Quietly, he placed the money on the table for the drinks he and Zepp had consumed, even though he thought she had free drinks. There was also a generous tip for the bartender too, who smiled as he took the bills from the counter. Stefan smiled back, not really regretting it, as had money to burn anyway, between his allowance, which was more than enough for all his expenses, and part – time job at F.Y.E. Finally, he turned his attention back at the stage, and tapped his fingers idly against the bar as he waited for Zepp to make her appearance.
