The Wretched And The Divine
Curiosity Kills the Cat
Ashley's POV
The next weekend
I was sitting in the living room with CC and Gemma watching TV when suddenly Isis hopped on the couch next to me holding up my Club Sinister flyer, which I swore I threw that away after the first time she brought it up.
"Is this a flyer to a strip club?" She asked.
"Yes?" I replied worried if she was going to be disappointed with me again.
"If you go again soon, can you take me?" She said. My eyes widen. Did I just hear that correctly?
"Umm.. Sure?" I spoke.
"Ooo I wanna go too!" Gemma said, CC did a double take. "What? I've never been to one and would like to see what it's like!"
"Let's go tonight!" Isis exclaimed. I could already tell this was going to be weird. I just hope that the other Isis wasn't working tonight. So we all got in my car and drove to the club.
When we arrived, I quickly looked around making sure I didn't see the other Isis before getting settled. I bought myself a beer and a girly drink so Isis can sneak a few sips since she was still underaged. Meanwhile, Isis and Gemma went to go sit front and center near the catwalk as CC and I sat in a table behind them.
“Ok does this feel weird to you?” asked CC, “I mean the girls seem more into this than us, it’s weird right?”
"I just hope we don't run into anyone." I admitted.
“Oh was this the club you were at then?” he asked. I nodded.
"I made friends with one of the strippers and she got a little too friendly," I said. "If you know what I mean.."
“What? Oh!” He clicked after a little while. “Which one?” I looked around again hoping not to find her. But when I saw her, I sighed.
"That one over by the bar. She the one who's fully tattooed." I said pointing her out, "You would never guess what her stage name is."
“Something ridiculous like Krystal?” He laughed.
"Her name is Isis" I said quietly, but loud enough for only CC to hear over the music.
“Dude! Seriously?” he said, “You flirt with a girl with the same name as your girlfriend, how wasted were you?” I shrugged.
"Too wasted to remember why I did it in the first place." I said taking a sip of my beer.
“What if the real Isis finds out?” He asked. At that moment we heard the announcer.
"Attention ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our resident Egyptian goddess, Isis, to the stage!"
I heard CC chuckling next to me. I threw him a glare, which only made him laugh harder as stripper Isis came on stage in her barely-there lingerie. She walked over to the middle pole and held on while she bent backwards and and head banged, making her hair fly everywhere, while gyrating against the pole. She then went into a shoulder lift and pulled herself as high as she could and wrapped her legs around the pole, as the pole slowly span, she held her arms out to make an inverted cross and dropped, stopping inches from the stage. I heard Isis, my Isis, gasp, and Gemma laugh at her reaction. Stripper Isis pulled herself back up to the top of the pole and pulled herself into a flag, where her arms were holding her onto the pole and her legs were straight out, she held that for a few seconds and pulled herself so the pole was at her waist and curled herself around the pole and dropped again. She done a few more moves on the pole and then made her way down the steps on to the club floor, I know she noticed me as she moved towards my Isis, and started giving her a lap dance while not taking her eyes off me. CC kept looking at me. I gulped, hoping my Isis didn’t notice what she was doing. Gemma and my Isis seemed to be really enjoying the night, which I hadn’t expected. Stripper Isis moved on to the next target after she’d got enough satisfaction off me. I let out a breath. Not long after, she finished her act.
“I need a drink,” I said to no one in particular and got up and went to the bar.
“So which one is she?” I heard a woman ask behind me, I turned to find Isis, the stripper, coming to lean on the bar next to me.
“What?" I asked.
“Now I know why you started coming here,” she said, “after all, who’d want to fuck a pregnant woman. And the other one, well I’m more your type than her if your track record with the other girls here is anything to go by.” I glared at her
“It’s none of your business which one my girlfriend is,” I said, “We wanted to have a nice time, which we were until you showed up.”
“So does she know about us?” she asked.
“There is and will never be an us, nothing ever happened with you,” I snapped, “You’re deluded if you think there was anything between us. If you even hint at anything, I can go straight to your boss and you’d be out of here before you can say Purdy girl.” She looked scared at that, then regained her composure again and walked off. I had a quick shot of whiskey before ordering another round for all of us.
“What was that about?" asked CC, I shook my head.
"She wanted to cause trouble,” I said, “So I threatened her job, she won’t say or do anything anywhere near us now. Help me with the drinks?” He nodded and grabbed his and Gemma’s. We turned back to the table to see both our girls making out.
“What the..?” I said, “Now should I be mad or turned on?”
CC was in a trance. “Huh? What?” he said snapping out of it, “We should stop this, right?”
“Yeah, totally,” I said, not really meaning it, as we stood there for a little while longer.
“Yeah we need to stop this now.” Said CC with resolve. We made our way back and cleared our throats, both of us doing our best pissed off faces. Gemma looked embarrassed while Isis looked drunk.
"Busted!" Isis said giggling as she took her drink from me.
“Air hostess,” Gemma started singing, “I love the way you dress...wait wrong Busted.” They started laughing like nothing just happened.
“What was that?” CC asked, “With you two just then?”
"What was what?" Isis asked, "We didn't do anything." She tried to do her best innocent face.
“Innocent dunt suit you Isis,” said Gemma and she laughed more.
"Shhhh" Isis placed her finger on Gemma's lips, Gemma responded by trying to bite her finger.
“So Isis’ excuse is shes drunk but Gemma? What the fuck?" asked CC, he was sounding really pissed off.
“What?” she asked, “You get to kiss her, why can’t I? Also hormones?” She shrugged, Isis’ face was a picture.
“Wait! what?” she said, “When did I kiss CC?”
“You’ll figure it out soon,” I said while Gemma patted Isis' head, “now we need to get you home before you cause anymore trouble.” I held out my hand for her to take it. Meanwhile CC and Gemma were still kind of arguing.
“That was different!” CC said.
"So take your hand in mine, it's ours tonight!" Isis sang as she grabbed my hand, "This is a rebel love song!" I rolled my eyes as I pulled her up.
“Yes I know, you’re my little fangirl,” I said, “but you’re drunk, so home.”
"But it's fun here!" She said. "Let's come here more often!"
“No.” I said a bit too fast, there’s something I needed to sort out before even thinking about letting her come back here. She gave me sad puppy eyes.
“Those don’t work on me,” I chuckled, “Now car.” I said pointing to the door.
"Fine.." She moped and stuck her tongue out at me. She started walking towards the door, pulling me with her. "Bye name twin!!" She yelled and waved at the other Isis who was staring at her funny but waved politely. I glared at the other Isis as the four of us made our way out of the club. We got to our car and I got Isis buckled in and we started driving.
"CC don't be mad that you didn't get to join. There's always a next time." Isis said, turning around to face Gemma and CC in the back seats. I froze as I look into the rear view mirror and saw Gemma give CC a worried look.
"Oh yeah! When did you kiss me?" She asked CC.
“You’ll know when you remember,” he said, “I don’t really wanna bring it up, it makes Gemma uncomfortable.”
Isis gave me a sad look. "Did I cheat on you??"
“Technically yes and no,” I said, “But like CC said I’d rather not talk about it till you remember, then you’ll understand why.”
"But.." She began again.
"Enough!" I snapped, "I told you we will discuss this later." She was stunned into silence for the rest of the drive home. I glanced at her only to see her picking at the scars on her arms. I sighed. Maybe it's about time she finds out what happened.
