I drew a deep breath as I actually made my way inside the club. That itself had taken several long moments as my credentials had been checked, my picture verified, all the other checks made to make sure that I was exactly who I said I was.
It had taken me a long time to get here. It was a relatively new establishment and to say it was exclusive really wasn't doing it justice. There were fees of course, membership, background checks, down payments as a guarantee of silence over exactly what happened.
Even having an vague idea of what to expect this blew my mind. As I crossed the entrance and entered a room there was a stage to one end and right there in the middle swinging expertly around the pole was Jennifer Lopez. I supposed it was her that was really the inspiration for this.
Her performance both fun, skilled and dedicated had shown of many things. Suddenly it was a bit of fun craze that celebrities like to toy around with. Dancing, performing, putting on a little show. It was all fun and good natured but I'd heard it made for quite the spectacle.
From my first impressions it didn't disappoint in the slightest.
Almost finding my way inside I crossed over the room and headed towards the bar rather than go straight towards the comfortable sofas or the tables that were positioned closer to the stage. I had a thought then, wondering if the celebrities themselves came of the stage and worked the crowd as well. I was looking forward to finding out.
I sat myself down at the bar and one of the staff came over and took my order while I waited. On the stage Jennifer looked like she was finishing her routine athletically rocking back and forth on all fours in front of an adoring crowd of onlookers. I shook my head again smiling at the prospect of how much fun this was going to be. At the same time two things happened.
My drink was brought over and placed in front of me and then I felt a light brush fingertips sliding across my shoulder as a figure sat themself down beside me, tumbling blonde hair in waves framed her face bright blue eyes a playful smile on her face as she shot me a side glance. With a jolt I recognised who exactly it was.
Kate Upton had sat herself beside me at the bar and made a quick gesture to catch the attention of the staff there. "I'll have a glass of the usual Rick." I heard her murmur before she turned her attention back towards me.
"You must be new here." She added smiling at me.
"Is it that obvious?" I added finally managing to find my tongue.
"Only a little." I tend to notice the new people more sometimes they tend to stand out when there here for the first time."
"I can't imagine why." I added wryly my attention glancing back towards the main stage. Jennifer had finished and had descended into the crowd sat down at one of the tables mingling with the fans.
"It does tend to attract attention doesn't it. Sometimes it can depend on when you arrive and exactly what is going on but it seems like today was a lucky day for you." She smirked a little and paused to take a drink as a glass of wine was set down in front of her.
"I'm feeling pretty lucky right now. I'm sat down right next down to Kate Upton I
I think most people would think that was a good day." I smiled at her and watched her lips flicker as she looked at me closely.
"Well you learn quickly anyway. Just for that why don't I show you around and give you a brief tour."
"I'd love it." I agreed easily more than happy to have her show me around.
We both grabbed our drinks and then I began to follow Kate as she led the way, already admiring the way she moved, a white dress hugging her figure and all those delicious curves.
"I think you've already seen the main stage." She chuckled glancing towards where I had seen Jennifer performing earlier. Most nights someone will, it can vary though sometimes it's busier than others so it may depend on how lucky you are. Sometimes we have live music." She began to explain things as we moved across the floor and made our way through the club.
"We have the bar and of course there's food available as well. Either a proper meal or something lighter. There's a few bigger rooms upstairs for parties and groups that can be catered for."
She continued on weaving her way around the club floor talking and occasionally pausing to point something out. Honestly I was surprised that no one else seem surprised I was casually walking around with her but already in the short space of time I'd seen a few more familiar faces, maybe it was just the normal thing here.
"At the back there's more rooms although there mostly quieter or for something specific. There's the bathrooms and shower rooms, some areas for the staff some lounges if people are just relaxing and want to chat or watch tv, play games just chill really." She informed me as we paused at a junction.
"Of course some of the bigger function rooms are down that way but I don't think you need to worry about those today. We'll head upstairs and i'll show you around up there and you can take a look and see if there is anything you like."
She smiled at me and then I was following behind her again as she led the way the up a stair case and we began to climb up towards the next floor. Again I was struck by how normal everything felt. Everywhere I went there was just a fun relaxed atmosphere and everyone just enjoying themselves.
I couldn't help but stare, everything was new, every direction I looked in had a different sight or spectacle and then there was of course the beautiful blonde herself escorting me around. I looked at her again as we climbed the stairs and couldn't resist asking the question on the tip of my tongue.
"Have you ever performed here yourself or do you just enjoy visiting?" I couldn't help the inquisitive thought about how well she knew the place. I saw her just flick a look at me from the corner of her eye as we reached the top of the stairs.
"You'll find the balconies up here overlooking the stages below and some more tables and viewing areas if you wanted a different perspective on the stage." She continued to explain blithely bypassing my question as she continued the tour.
"I don't think that you answered the question." I half joked looking at her again.
