“We should check that out this weekend,” Jenny offered, favouring Drew with that elfin smile as only Jenny could. She looked at Shane and Carmen for nods, which they gave.

“Yeah, maybe everybody can come,” Tina said.

“Totally. Oh and don’t worry, it’s not like, a strip club or anything. Sometimes people get that impression when you say you’re a dancer, especially at a ***** club,” Drew laughed and everyone smiled at her. Jenny flinched a bit when Drew said ‘strip club’. But it was only noticeable to Shane and no one else thought anything of it.

“I have to spin at Milk on Saturday though, so I won’t be able to go if you guys go then,” Carmen said, looking up Shane’s body at her, she was comfortably snuggled against her shoulder.

“Friday it is then.”

Chapter 23

“Comin’ up I was confused, my momma kissin’ a girl. Confusion occurs growin’ up in a cold world.”

50 cent’s ‘Hate it or Love it’, blared through the speakers as Shane elbowed her way through the crowd with the patience and ease of a pro. Carmen trailed behind in the small wake she left. They set up camp at a booth in the back that was lightly lit in a pool of blue light. The mood of the club was very modern and hip but classic somehow, at the same time. There were, what you might call, pillars, about 20 to 30 feet high spread all around the club. On the top of those pillar’s where the dancers. It was very cool, kind of like the movie ‘Birdcage’, but not. There was a stage where a band called the Sirens, were about to start playing. At the opisite wall, was a long bar, blue light lit the bar which was made of a clear, glassy material and stainless steel. The bartenders behind the counter where ‘extreme bartenders’. It was awesome, everywhere you turned there was entertainment, be it the dancers, the band or the bartenders. Shane watched in awe as they preformed ‘tricks’ for the crowd, she’d always wanted to do that.

“This place is great!” Carmen said excitedly. The band was just about ready and the 50 cent tune died down. Shane nodded in agreement as they sat down at the booth, everyone was already there. Shane passed out the drinks she had brought back with her.
