"Pony" by Ginuwine

"Tell me" by Johnny Jewel feat. Saoirse Ronan

We had an idea for a dance and had been fooling around with it for a while. Now we had finally started rehearsing it and I was so looking forward to performing it. It was a twist on the Magic Mike movie, where our male strippers would be doing it first at Ladies time, and then Sandra and I would take a guest each on scene and do the same routine.

The inspiration came from Lip Sync Battle of course, Jenna looked awesome there. We were hoping it would be a regular thing, to draw more couples. We needed some props for this, and Flynn was putting the last pieces together when I entered the bar. I made a little jump, "It looks so good, Flynn!" Sandra came from the back with some clothes in her hands. "Finished!" she exclaimed. I didn't know up and down on a needle, but Sandra had taken it upon herself to make the costumes. Blue, worker-pants, that had to have Velcro, so we didn't have to make new ones to each performance. Simple, white singlet, and sneakers, this would be the most comfortable outfit yet. She even had the hats, she put one on me backwards. "This is going to be a hit, I know it." Sandra squealed in joy.

She asked me about my day off and I just said it was good. She wondered what had happened with Niall, and I just evaded the question by saying that we were invited to a party. Louis said, "bring your friends" and I had to guess it was these friends he meant. Sandra pretended to faint and I giggled. "What should I wear? I'm freaking out already." "Relax, it's not until the weekend, you have plenty of time to figure out what to wear. Now let's get started." I clapped my hands, happy to have something else on my mind for a while.

We went through the choreography a couple of times and then tried out the dance on stage, we had to make sure the props hold our weight. Nothing kills the mood like screaming and a broken leg. We were laughing and having fun, when the door suddenly opened. I sat on top of Sandra on the chair, and we both turned to look at two stunned men in the entrance. Niall and Zayn. I swore to myself internally, how could people look so good?

The four of us stared at each other for a second before Niall moved further in.

"Maybe you should think about answer your text messages when someone knows you are being stalked and threatened." He opened angry. I didn't answer, he looked so good in dark jeans, blue short sleeved shirt with a white t shirt under and sunglasses that he took off with an angry gesture. Shit, I had forgotten to answer him. I got off Sandra and hopped off the scene. Him, dropping everything and coming here just to check up on me, it was so sweet, and hot. "I'm so sorry, I forgot. I'm not used to someone other than Lewis checking up on me, and he was with me." I looked into his eyes so he could see I was truly sorry. "And walking out without saying goodbye," he frowned at me.

I looked down, didn't have a good excuse for that. Zayn made a little laugh. "What're you wearing?" He looked over our outfits. Sandra had built up courage to come down and now she answered with an out of breath voice. "We're rehearsing a new routine." Zayn looked at her with laughter in his eyes, "Quite the sexy outfits" he snickered. She giggled back, "You wait and see it in real." She flirted. I gave her a wink and she blushed. I dragged Niall to a sofa and made him sit. "Listen, I am sorry. And I did really forget to answer. I haven't checked my phone since I left home. And why I left without saying goodbye...Well, I was kind of embarrassed." He grabbed my hand, "Don't be, don't think about it. We all been through some shit."

"Thank you for being there for me, it might seem that I want to be left alone, but in the end, it helps having someone there." I didn't know if it made sense, but he nodded. "So, tell me about this new show." Niall asked. I saw Sandra chatting away with Zayn and I loved it. She is our newest stripper, and she is still shy, but up on stage she is fierce, and everyone loves her. Her dark skin accentuates my fair pretty good, so we often do shows together. An idea popped up in my head, we needed to rehearse this. "We could show you, if you got the time?" Niall swallowed and checked the time. "Do we have some time, Zayn?" he said loud while looking in my eyes. Zayn turned a bit surprised, "The car leaves in 45 minutes." "Plenty" I answered and dragged Niall on his feet.

"We use them in our rehearsal" I explained to Sandra. She paled and looked at Zayn.
"No."
"Yes, we need to rehearse it on someone else than each other." She shook her head but turned to the stage. Without a word she positioned two chairs on each side of the stage. Zayn took off his light jacket and revealed a loose t shirt. I made him stand on Sandra's left side and Niall on my side. I talked it over with Sandra and I bumped her fist before grabbing the hat and putting it on.

We took our positions behind the table. When the music started playing loud, we had tools in our hands and used them suggestively. The moves in this show were a bit more aggressive and I liked it. On the mark we took each boy by the hand and the chair in the other. With a flick I got the chair behind him and pushed Niall down on it. I danced around him and made my hips grind against the floor. It was a bit scary to do this when I knew he was sober, but I brushed it aside. I saw that he liked it.
I slid towards him on my knees and pushed his legs apart, stepping up on the room I had made between his legs, I grinded three times against his face, but not directly in it. Then I hopped down and with a smooth move (I sure hoped it looked smooth) I used the handles on the chair to hold me up and made a semi flick, so my head was between his legs and vice versa. I tried twerking in this position and Niall's hands gripped my waist and helped my balance. I continued my flick and landed on my feet on the other side of the chair. We had tried out a move with making the chair falling back, but we had found that we didn't have the strength to hold it back, didn't want to injure our guests. Niall was out of breath by the time I was sitting in his lap facing the room. I took his hands and made them slide over my breasts. When we did the show, this would be a quick feel up, but I couldn't resist making that part last a bit longer with Niall. I felt my nipples harden, why did they always act on their own? Or on their own - no denying that other parts of my body were awake as well.
"Rip it" I whispered in his ear. "What?" He was focused on his hands on my breast. "Rip the shirt"
His hands folded the shirt and ripped it down the middle. This was so hot. I got up and went down on my legs, removing the remains of the singlet. I tossed it at Niall, and Sandra and I ended the song in unison on the floor. That was amazing! I jumped up and gave Sandra a hug. I put my hand on my hip, "What do you guys think? You have to tell us if we have to change anything, the premiere is on Thursday."

They didn't say a word.
"Niall?"
He cleared his throat. "I feel used. In an exceptionally good way."
I smiled. "We can't make it too dirty because it will be a couples thing. First the girls get their dance and then we do the men."
Zayn was talking to Sandra and telling her how awesome she was. Niall got down from the stage and was awfully quiet. "Are you ok?" I went after him, picking up a t shirt I had laying on a table. "I'm ok, that dance is gonna take off. It will draw even more people in here." He praised.

"Thank you".

It was good getting feedback. "How can you do it? Dance like that with different men every night?" He wouldn't meet my eyes while asking the question. "It's rare that we take someone up on the stage, and the lap dances are just jobs. You learn to subtract yourself from the situation".

"It didn't feel like you subtracted yourself from that situation" he nodded towards the scene and cast an unvoluntary glimpse at my boobs. "I didn't. Not with you." I turned from him and went over to Zayn and Sandra. "Caro, that was so great, I can't wait to tell the other boys about it, they will be so mad." He smiled and stuck his tongue out slightly. Niall came up beside him but didn't say a word, just stared at me. "You are coming to the party?" Zayn asked us. Sandra nodded eagerly, "We will be there. I'm working till twelve, but I hope the party isn't over at that time?" "Hah, no chance, it usually lasts all night long." He looked at Niall, "We have to run, or the car leaves without us." Niall nodded and took his sunglasses out of his pocket and put them on. "Answer your texts." He said and then walked out the door. "See you Friday." Zayn waved goodbye.

Sandra turned to me. "Did I just give Zayn a lap dance?"
I smiled big, pushing the thought of Niall out of my head, "Yes, you did, and you fucking rocked it!" I gave her a high five and we talked about the show and the guys. The clock turned five in the afternoon before I was on my way home. I didn't call Lewis, I wanted to be brave. I stopped to pick up some food and with my backpack and food in my hands I opened the door slowly. Nothing jumped at me and I put the food on the table. After locking the door, I made a round in the apartment, mad that I had to do this. Everything was fine and I started to relax. I unpacked my food and sat down in the sofa in front of the TV with phone in hand. Seven messages. Two calls. I checked the calls first, one was Niall and the other one was Lewis. Five of the messages were from Niall, he had entered his name as "Nialler", so sweet. They got more and more frantic since I didn't respond. The last one came an hour ago. "On the plane, hope everything is ok with you. I just wanted to thank you for the dance and for trusting me last night. If you ever wanna talk about it, I'm here. Can't wait till Friday." I texted back; "Can't wait either, it's been ages since I've been out. You were a saviour last night."

One of the other were from Rick, just asking if everything was ok. But the last one... Withheld number. "I'm thinking about you." And a picture of me leaving the 1D house. I took a deep breath and deleted it. I turned the volume up on the TV and drowned my thoughts out with the drama happening in Riverdale.
