takecourage: (Stars in her hair)
[personal profile] takecourage
Alex has been sort of absent for a couple of weeks, since her and Darlington finally got their acts together. Mostly, she's just been wrapped up in being in a proper relationship (and having really fucking good sex) for the first time in her life. But now, she's starting to get back to her life, back to her friends and, when she texts Nova and asks him if he wants to go out dancing after her shift, she's pleased when he says yes.

Come on and hang out while I finish up, she texts. I'll totally show you my tits, bro.

Hot. Nova makes a point of doing everything he can to sound deadpan in the text. Like he's never seen for himself how hot she is, or had to fish her out of a bowl of goat's milk. He knows where the club is, though he doesn't usually go. One, because even he knows it's pathetic to be the kind of guy who goes there alone. Two, because he's had too many people look at him askance and call the bouncer, even when he's not doing shit.

But tonight, he has a personal invitation.

"Thought I was supposed to buy the dancer her drinks," Nova says, drawls really. It's fun to playact some kind of Havana high roller, even if Alex already knows how he lives. Not to mention if people are smart, she's already made bank in tips.

"You look like Wednesday Addams."

Nova gives her a toothy grin right back and then snaps his fingers. "Nah, if you braided your hair, you'd figure out who the real creeps are," he says. Like she can't spot one at ten paces.

"Yeah, I got you," he promises, drumming fingers on his breast pocket where he's got a handful of cash.

He nods appreciatively at her wisdom. "Gotta draw a line somewhere," he agrees. "Still smokin' hot anyway." There's no real heat to it. Alex is exactly as hot as Nova says, but he knows he's not in the running. It keeps him from actually being a shit.

There's a joke on Nova's tongue about Alex's fancy boyfriend and whether or not he'll come after Nova for it, but he's got too many survival instincts to actually make it. "You dance for what you think my money's worth," Nova says, flashing her a grin. It's a yes that puts the limitations in Alex's court.

Nova laughs at the idea of getting settled at a strip joint. Like they're at the barbershop instead and all the chairs are full so he has to wait a minute. He thinks Alex can see the humor in it too.

"Jeez, having to wait it out for you in the middle of a strip club. How the hell am I gonna keep busy?"

Nova sprawls, appropriately sleazy, but in a chill way. They're both doing this for fun without any real intention behind it, so why not play the part. It's not like he'll ever actually be big pimpin' for real.

"Depends on how much goat's milk you're gonna involve," he teases. "You could probably do something with that, you know. Like that lady who had the giant champagne glass."

"Keep it on," he teases. "Let a guy have a little mystery." Nova's not sure why it matters to him, since they both know better. But there's still a part of him that's convinced that if he goes too far, he'll end up back in a prison jumper. That shit imprints on a man's DNA.

"Not when you put it like that," Nova says, snorting. He'd said Alex was like a hot Wednesday Addams. Not quite the same. "'Sides, I'm a pretty low-paying customer. Kind of a scrub."

"Hands to myself, no starting shit, no pissing off the talent?" Nova guesses. Like he'd think of doing anything stupid with Alex. Even if there weren't bouncers at the door, she'd probably have him out on his ass in seconds if he did her wrong.
