Chapter 6
Huge sound were blasting off the stereos from every corner of the club. Even the
sound could be heard from down the busy street of Sunset Boulevard. At "Roxy",
they played anything � R&B, rap, hip hop, punk, anything! There was always
something for everyone. It was a huge and massif place and familiars
celebrities faces could be seen every single night.
Justin, Mercedes and Kayla got into the club and stood in front of the a little further
away from the main entrance, a couple of feet away from the dance floor. They
walked and looked around at the same time. Almost in the further back of the
club, was standing a oval-round shape bar. The walls of the bar lit with white
lights under the plastic covers (a little bit like the bar at P3, in �Charmed�
� Piper�s club). Two cages were at the center of the dance floor, leaving anyone to go free and as much
as they wanted. More black lights presented on the top of the bar. In the
middle of the bar, were glasses, anything kind of liquors, with two huge colons
in the middle of it, up to the ceiling. [Author's Note: As you can see I'm not good to descride places, I can visualise in words,
but in writting.]
In front of the bar, was a huge and massif dance floor with colorful lights moving
to the sound and beat of the song with 4 colons on each corner of the floor,
towards the ceiling. Some dark blue, white and other colors curtains felt down
from it around the dance floor, (before they stepped on the steps) making it a
bizarre but yet exciting place, fill with mysteries and seduction. The DJ table
stood on the right side of the dance floor with 2 huge speakers on each side.
As they walked towards the bat, they looked around and tried to see some new and
familiars faces. There were some tables and counters around the area and near
the dance floor, but there more louches around the place. Some near the walls,
some near the dance floor and then some everywhere the area. The VIP sections
were divided in different sections and area of the club, depending where they
wanted to be.
Kayla passed under the bar table and started to
work immediately with 2 other people, Brent and Lana. Justin just made his way
to their spot. It was on a small podium, just about 3 steeps to get there. It
was a huge dark and comfy louche that could be fill with at least 20 people,
and it was only reserved for the girls and some workers. But it was mainly
Rodney and Mercedes and some of their people who sat there most of the time,
since they could keep an eye at the place. Mercedes looked around and saw
Elijah, Sean and a new guy at the table and Justin headed towards them, greeted
the new guy. She gave them a sign, before she headed towards the stairs,
leaning to the second floor, which was near the bar also.
Justin was glad that their louche was near the bar, because he could check on the
girls while they were working. Not only that, but he could also see who got
into the club, watch everyone dancing, bodies grinning. There were also a lot
of securities around the area.
"Mercedes and Rodney made a great team! I mean look at this place!" Elijah mentioned
while looking around for the past hour.
Taking a sip from his beer, Dominic nodded his head as a sign of agreement. "Indeed,
but where is she going?"
"To see Rodney, Dom. They always have a little meeting to keep the place moving,
before she headed to the bar or something."
~*~*~*~*~
As Mercedes climbed up the stairs and looked around at the places. On second
floor, it was more a relaxing place, a place where most of the stars preferred
to be. A few comfy chairs, tables, louches near the balcony, where you could
see the bar and the dance floor. She walked up to a tall dark guy who was
guarding the door.
"Sorry young lady, but this is a restricted area. You can't not pass, here."
"Come on Bubba. Don't play with me." She whined. "I'm not in the mood."
"I was just messing with you Baby Girl and you know I cannot resist that cute eyes
of yours."
She laughed as he said that and the way he mentioned her other nickname 'Baby
Girl'. The reason why some of the people mentioned it, it was because when she
sings, it almost like the voice of Aaliyah. She gave him a kiss on his cheeks,
before he opened the door to a very luxurious office. Some pictures were hung
against the wall. Something she saw each and every time. A couple of book
shelf, a computer on a huge oak desk, some papers were laying around the place,
but in a clean way. Above the a large glass window, there were some TV sets at
the club. There was a tall, built man in his 30's, looking out the window. From
the first look, he seemed like another security, but yet a velvet teddy bear.
For others, he looks like a head mafia. She quietly call out his name.
"Oh Mercedes!" Rodney mentioned as he turned around. "I didn't heard toy come in.
Sorry I was stranded in my mind."
He sat on his big comfy chair behind his desk, while Mercedes sat comfortably on
the desk like many times. "It's okay! So is there anything new? Any changes?"
"First thing, you look very cute! I like that look a lot more than that little skimpy
stuff that you wear."
"Thank� I guess�", she said as she smiled not to sure what else to say.
"Well, I've been thinking a lot about something and it's very important to let you
know that you had been an amazing young woman." Rodney spoke. "Even though it
had been a couple of months you had been here, but you grow up so much each and
every day�"
"What are you trying to say Rodney?" Her brows frowned as she backed up a little bit.
"You've been like a daughter to me and I have something to ask you�"
Mercedes looked deeply into his hazel eyes. Usually, she knew what was behind his head,
but couldn't make out what it could be, since his eyes were fill with joy,
sadness, hope and confusion.
Meanwhile, Justin was looking around the place and saw a familiar face which he haven't
seen for a while. The young lady walked up towards them with a short black mini
skirt, white tank top, black boots, full make-up and a hip walked that could
hurt a guy. He was about to called up her name, but Kayla beat him into it.
"Christina!" Christina Aguilera almost ran directly towards the bar and gave
Kayla a kiss on her cheeks.
"Whoa! You look revealing as usual!", Kayla laughed.
"You're the one to talk Tiger! So what's up with you guys? Haven't seen you for a
while."
"Bah! The usual. Nothing really happens. We haven't got ourselves new victims and
also we had install something around the bar and the dance floor. It might be
an eye-opener."
"What is it?", she looked at her friend with a curious eye.
"Promised you won't tell?"
Christina nodded as Kayla lean down and whispered into her ear and pointed out at the
areas. She looked almost shock for some reason and headed towards the others
and sat next to Seann, who gave him a huge big kiss.
"What's up? And who are the new victims at the seat?", she spoked.
"This is Dominic Monaghan." Elijah introduced them. "The guy I told you about and he's came to stay here
for a while. He's looking for an apartment."
"Welcome to 'Roxy', the best club in the area of
L.A. even the best one you�ll find in California. I'm Christina by the way."
"You only say that cause we got free drinks."
Seann laughed before she slammed him on the arm.
"Thanks Christ. To be honest, I think it's the best place from all the place I been!"
"That's great! Anyways, where's my other bitch, Mercedes?"
Since they weren't many people around the bar, Kayla walked towards the others and
sat next to Dom and presented herself to him. They started talking immediately
and a few moments later, Elijah spotted 2 other guys who got in from the club
and looked a little bit dazed off. He out down his beer and headed towards
them, leaving Dom and Kayla chatting.
