Re: Streets of Vegas

"How exactly," Evelyn asked quietly, squirming to get her feet onto ground before she got too comfortable, "do you plan to hail a cab? Unless you're gonna use me as some dire excuse. And seriously, put me down, you just got your stitches redone, idiot!"

[Guest]

"You're wearing red, Roja! You're the international sign for... STOP!!!" Jake yelled, seeing a cab as it was about to pull away.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn opened her mouth in outrage as the taxi screeched to a halt. She glared up at Jake, but couldn't help a small grin. "Seriously, I don't want you dying on the way home, put me down." She wriggled in his grip. "My dress is hitching up!" she panicked suddenly, eyes widening. "Jake!"

[Guest]

"Hey maybe if he see's some leg we won't have to tip him!" Jake winked at Evelyn but put her down before she could scowl at him, he held the door open for her again.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn, blushing furiously, stomped on his feet before climbing into the backseat of the cab.

"Where to, kids?" the cabbie asked.

"The nearest body of water," Evelyn replied coolly. "I need to drown someone."

[Guest]

Jake slid in accidentally-on-purpose shoving Evelyn into the other side, "To Caesars Palace, and I'll have you know I'm an excellent swimmer, also you're out of luck Red. Nevada is landlocked."

[Tiger-Lily]

"Ever heard of a swimming pool?" she shot back, shouldering him back before letting out a small yawn and covering it with her hand. She sat back and then shot Jake a sideways look. "Why....are you aware your shirt's undone?"

[Guest]

Jake looked down and then back up at Evelyn and grinned. "In my excitement to drink I forgot to button up my shirt, I know you enjoy the view though." He smirked.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn was glad the cab was dark because her face warmed. She had actually not noticed earlier, at least until he'd picked her up. And then she forgot in thoughts of vengeance.

"Yeah, the raw stitches and pus is all very appealing, Duckfoot," she replied nonchalantly, leaning her head back against her seat and closing her eyes. She figured she could rest up for a second before joining whatever insanity the boy had going. The girls had been out since 11 AM after all.

[Guest]

"Quack, quack." Jake replied happily, he then laid his head on her shoulder. "Good thinking, a power nap before the hardcore partying." He yawned. Amongst all this excitement he hadn't realize how tired he was.

(Rosemary from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].)

Rosemary continued to serve in and out of traffic, flipping off anyone who honked their horn at her until she got onto the interstate, and then went as much as the speed limit would allow, staying on the fast lane. She yanked her ponytail out, letting her hair fall back around her shoulders and smacked the power button for the radio, her iPod still hooked up from the other night.

She ran her fingers through her hair, beyond frustrated. Why… why couldn’t Seth just look at her? Maybe even an…insult…flirt…something…would make her feel better.

Was it because of her looks? Her freckles? Her hair color? Her skin tone? Her height? Was she not skinny enough? Not…pretty enough? She swallowed down a knot in her throat, tears streaming out even more. What was wrong with her?

Was…she just… a prude? Not…open enough? She almost stomped on her brakes at this thought and gripped even tighter onto the steering wheel. What the fuck was she thinking? She… she should have been proud of her not being a slut!

She glanced over at the radio, hearing lyrics play;

“Now that I’m sittin’ here,
Thinking it through,
I’ve never been anywhere cold,
As you…

Well you never did give a damn
But honey I cried and cried for you,
And I know you wouldn’t have told nobody,
If I died, died for you,
Died for you…”

She felt her chest shudder and quickly pulled off at the exit towards her cousins, a thought crossing her mind. What if she never left here? She could finish her courses online. Live with Weston- like he had offered many times before.
She wouldn’t be around ANY of them. None of them. Just… exactly what she wanted. She’d be around Weston and his girlfriend, who she both adored and she’d get to see Harrison more, as he flew up to see Weston a lot.

She licked her lips, cringing at the salty tears and fidgeted in her seat, soon enough pulling up into Weston’s driveway.

She was good enough of a little sister figure to Weston and Charlotte and maybe there was some guy out there who would just LOOK at her. She wasn’t perfect but maybe she was good enough for someone.

She felt like her whole body had gone numb, except for the faint buzzing in the core of her stomach, a upset sick feeling. Like she was going to throw up and glanced up, faintly hearing Weston call her name from the door house way. She watched him run out to the car and peeled her hands off the wheel, opening the door and unbuckled before she got out.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking her a little. “Rosemary! Rose!” He said, his voice concerned.

“Hm?” She muttered and took in a shuddering breath before stepping forward, throwing her arms around Weston and then burying her face in his shoulder. “Fuck my life.”

Seth had led the boys to the "Escort" house. and now they stood in front of it. Seth glanced at the squawking Tony and groaned, regretting bringing him. But Antonio needed to save his own ass here!

"You won't die," Seth muttered, trying to be reassuring. "It's just us sitting there, chatting them up. Use your fucking Italian charm or so help me I'll punch it out of you so hard, lasagna will be coming out your ass," he added nicely.

[Guest]

James glared at Antonio, it was his fault they were in this mess! Actually if James hadn't agreed to come to Las Vegas he would have never been in this mess but now he was.

"What if we get a disease?" Antonio asked, worried. He couldn't help worrying its who he was! Jake and Seth were the insane idiots who did things and his brother was usually the mastermind or something. Antonio had to be the one that freaked out! Every group needs one.


"The only disease you're gonna get is the one where my foot gets shoved up your ass! Listen none of us want to do this but we don't have a choice!" James snapped at Antonio.

[Tiger-Lily]

"You can't get a disease!" Seth said irately, walking up the steps and into the lobby/reception area of the shady building. "No sex involved. It's not what you get paid for."

He swaggered up to the receptionist, a middle-aged woman with too much make up, and announced, "We'd like to join your escort services!"

The woman frowned over at him and then at the other two. She pursed her lips. "Probation period is a mandatory thirty days of attendance."

"Sure," Seth agreed. He pulled out his fake ID and she tossed a form at him to sign, handing two more to James and Antonio.

Seht glanced up from the one he was filling out and smirked when he realized a couple of giggling girls in Daisy Dukes were wandering down a hallway across the room and had seen them, clearly. He straightened up, brushing his hair out of his eyes, and nudged James as the brunette girl winked over at him while her blond friend giggled as they passed the boys and exited the building.

[Guest]

James smirked nudging Seth back as he continued to fill out his form, he couldn't believe it. Everything that had lead up to this point in his life he never imagined he would actually be an escort.

[Tiger-Lily]

After they were done filling out forms, the boys were told that they would have to go mingle with the customers in the lounge, network, and get clients. They had to fill out the times they were being paid for and would be assigned a room to hang with said client in.

Seth swallowed a little uncomfortably. He could just imagine his parents' faces if they ever saw this place.

They headed down the hall and entered a large lounge, sort of like any other luxurious lounge in Vegas, and there were all sorts of people there, most well-dressed, a fact the boys had been ready for. Seth exchanged a slightly hesitant look with James, clutching the sheet he had to sign his hours and crap into. He tucked it into his pocket and then headed out into the crowd of middle-aged people and cute, young girls (clearly their fellow escorts).

"Bang the coworker as a reward for good behaviour," Seth muttered to James, grinning. He puled out his phone adn snapped a pic of the lounge, hiding his phone before anyone saw (no photos allowed ere). He sent the picture to Jake along with Guess what? James, Tig n I r escorts. ;D And we got sexy coworkers. I <3 Sin CIty.

[Guest]

Jake had been walking with Nova to return to the Forum Shops to return the ring, when he got Seth's message. He snorted and texted back.

I give Tig five min before he starts crying XD

[[FF an hour]]

James had been talking to quite a few women and a lot of them were already offering to spend time with him, which he was guessing was a good thing although the whole time he was here he felt like he wanted to shower. But he had been concealing his feeling of disgust, sure there were younger girls here that looked his age. But he found it kind of creepy that they were spending their time with men who were about the age of his dad.

Then again he was no better.

Antonio had somewhat calmed, until an older woman who was a bit more friskier decided to pull him in a little closer and out of habit he yelped and sort of backed away from her. This had been about the third or fourth woman he had done this to.

This one woman who was overseeing all of this glared at Antonio and went up to where Seth was, "Excuse me! But your friend? The one with the two tone hair? He keeps freaking out and scaring away clients. Either tell him to pipe down, or get rid of him! This is very unprofessional. "

[Tiger-Lily]

Seth, who had been listening with wide-eyed interest (faked) to a large, redheaded woman who looked like she could be Big Show's mother, turned around when the overseer spoke to him. He cringed and glanced over at Antonio, who was now backing up from a slightly drunk woman.

Seth turned to the woman he as listening to, and told her he'd be right back before nodding at the overseer and striding over to Antonio.

Seth grabbed Antonio's shoulder and spun the guy to face him. "What are you doing?!" Seth hissed. "We don't raise enough dough, they shoot Red's brains out and Jake will put you six feet under so fast, your heart will still be pumping!"

[Guest]

Antonio just nodded, and tried to steel his nerves as he removed Seth's arm from his shoulder. Seth was right he had needed to raise money to keep Evelyn from dying in his place. It wasn't fair.

Antonio took a deep breath and calmed himself before going back out and talking to the older women again, ignoring how sick he felt to his stomach.

[Tiger-Lily]

"Atta boy," Seth exclaimed and then turned around and strode back to the stupid woman he'd been talking to. Wait, what had she been saying? He should really try to remember...

[[FF an hour ahead]]

Seth had ditched the redheaded Big SHow and found a much more deent looking older woman. Her thing though, was that she was a cougarr.

A serious one.

Seth was now sitting in one of te rooms assigned to him, and he had chosen to sit as far across the room form her as possible. The room was just basically a small living room, and Seth had ensured the coffee table was between them.

Cougar Mama edged over to the seat he was parched on. She batted her lashes. "So then I told him I didn't need him anymore, because I'm an independent woman. I am beautiful. I have my own thing going for me."

She scooted over so suddenly, Seth almost dove off the couch he was on to get away. he composed his sincere fear of being mauled and tried to make it look like he suddenly needed to pace. "That - that's terrific," he muttered, forcing a charming, dimpled grin on his face.

But he could tell that his restraint was being pushed to its limit. And he knew it wouldn't be long before his inner devil burst forth in a torrent of insults and completely killed this woman's "thing".

[Guest]

Jake had went to the chapel and was now walking with Nova, the bag sort of swinging in his other arm, while he held onto the leash. Nova was sniffing around excitedly at all the new smells and barking happily as they walked around on the strip.

He had checked the bag again making sure he had everything, he saw Seth's clothes along with the girls dresses and shoes. Jake had taken the hoodie and was wearing it since he had been kind of chilly leaving the chapel. Before leaving there though he had gone to the Forum Shops back at the hotel in attempts of returning the ring from the store, but the salesperson rudely informed him that all jewelry sales were final there.

Upon leaving though another worker had told him where he could find a pawn shop that would buy the ring off of him, and probably for the same amount he had bought it for since it was barely even worn at all. So Jake was now walking with Nova there, although Nova had to have picked up on Jake's ADD frequency.

Since the dog was already really excited to be in a completely different city, he was all over the place. But even during the day the neon signs of Vegas shone brightly, and occasionally Nova would stare up and go all wide eyed just staring at the bright colors, and Jake would have to tug on his leash to get the beagle moving again.

Finally after a few neon signs, and a bathroom stop for Nova they had arrived to the pawn shop. And to Jake's surprise the man had offered Jacob fifteen hundred dollars for the ring. He said he would have offered two grand, but there had been a scratch or something stupid like that which Jacob hadn't seen but whatever, he had no time to be greedy. Although when the man handed Jake the money and held his hand out for the ring, Jake for some reason had a hard time parting with it.

He shouldn't! The ring, the wedding it was all a mistake! He should have been like Seth and taken the ring off of Evelyn's finger while she was sleeping and pretending like it had never happened. But he hesitated for a moment running his finger over the smooth cross ring. It really was a very pretty ring, very Evelyn like too.

No stop it, get rid of it! it was a mistake don't keep it! His mind had to warn him, Jake shook his head dropping the ring slowly into the old mans hand and walked out of the store quickly before he ran back in there and took the ring.

Jake had no idea why part of him wanted to hold onto it, so badly. They knew it was a mistake, he knew what would happen if they didn't get the money for the Japanese that he might lose Evelyn. So that was the end of that, her life was worth more than that ring. So he pocketed the money grabbing Nova's leash and heading back to the hotel.

[Tiger-Lily]

After about three different "escorts", Seth called it a night. He texted James and Antonio and they all met up out front of the escort place.

"How'd it go?" Seth asked wearily. It was now about six-thirty.

[Guest]

Antonio was just silent and shuddered.

James had matched Antonio's shudder, usually he never turned down free umm women? But this was just, "Its safe to say I'm traumatized."

[Tiger-Lily]

"Yeah, I've had enough of putting up with low-esteem females with fickle husbands. Let's go. How much did we get?" Seth plucked out his wallet and examined the bills inside. He was actually shocked how much it paid off being a little amiable. One lady, when he had cheerfully slung an arm around her and started yammering Hallmark Cheer Up wishes, had promptly tipped him two hundred bucks.

Seth counted the other boys' money and added it to his. "Wow, we're up six graaaaaand!" He turned and hifived James and then Antonio. "Boo yeaaaah!" He turned around after shoving the money securely in his wallet. "WE'RE RID OF THIS FUCK HOLE OF MANIC DEPRESSIVES! INVEST IN CHICKEN SOUP, BITCHES!" he hollered, flipping off the escort building with both hands before heading back toward Caesars in relief.
