"Affirmative."
I do a quick headcount—sixty people in front of us and now 20 behind us, with more, showing up continuously.The door opens, and a bouncer stands in it counting heads.The music from the open door is blasting Miley Cyrus.My toe starts to tap.I can't wait to get inside and dance.He goes back in, and the music stops.It gets quiet again.
"Hmmm."
"What?"Aurei asks when I pull out my phone.
"I have an idea.Hang on a minute."I google The Stallion, then hit call when it comes up.I stick my finger in my ear and step away from the line to talk.A bartender answers the phone, and I ask for him to send the bouncer back out.When I hang up, I tell Aurei."Stay here.I'll be right back."
"What are you up to?"He asks as he frowns, but he doesn't follow me.
"Don't worry.No trickery.Only a good business tip."
I type on my phone my idea as I walk toward the door.The bouncer busts through, expecting to find a fight, but instead sees me waving as I walk toward him.He walks up impatiently, but I smile and simply hold my phone for him to read.He scans my text, looks at me astonished, nods, and goes back inside.
I think he liked my idea.
I return to Aurei amid catcalls, like "Good job, Bubba!Make the bitch wait her turn."I cinch our hands, glad to be standing next to him, and show him my phone.
If you blast the waiting crowd with music, they'll dance.If you send servers out, they'll drink.If you speed up the entry, you won't have to count heads all night.
"Helluva, good tip."
"Yeppers."
The bouncer comes back out with a couple of chairs and props the double doors open, then stands in the middle of them."Jungle" by X Ambassadors & Jamie N Commons blasts us, and people immediately begin bouncing to the beat, pumping their hands overhead and clapping.
The next song is a new one I haven't heard yet.I use my Sound Hound app to identify it, and when it's over, I text Lei.
Heard a new song today.'Try' by Colbie Caillat.Have you heard it?
By the way, Baby Girl, I'm proud of you!And I like you just the way you are!
One Republic's "Counting Stars" starts to play, and the people in line pump it up.
"Lei is special to you, isn't she?"
"Yes."
"What's her story?"
"She came to Vegas with a dirtbag old man, fucked hard and shown a good time, then he beat her up bad and went home without her.Abandoned her.She likes to fuck, so she started hooking up to eat and make some quick cash.I saw her freelancing in Been Jammin's.She is beautiful.I found her after my show.Befriended her.I offered her a job making some real money, like what Bart did for me.She said yes, and Fucking Fantasies was born.Of course, that's the abridged version."
He puts his arm around me."You are the sweetest one."
"I have a gift."I wink at him.
He whispers in my ear."I'm counting stars since I found you, Wild Thang."
I giggle as I sidestep in front of him, then back up and put my hands on his penis.I run my fingers down his shaft.He moans in my ear with that throaty sound I have already learned to love."Sleep is overrated, you know."
He chuckles."Like panties."
"Exactly!"
When the tempo of the song picks up, I start to pump him up."Damn, Siri, now I see stars!"
When it ends, I throw my arms around his neck and say on his lips."I been having these dreams, you know?"
