Seven

Chapter 35

"I mean you may have enjoyed it but I don't think having the limp dick of a partially past out man in your mouth is anything to brag about. Hun." I use the same patronising pet name as I fire off my blow.

Destiny's mouth falls in offence, the expression she wears tells me she didn't realise I knew the real details of her and Seven's rondeau.

"Who told you that?" Destiny demands.

"He did." I admit, I can't help the smirk playing on my lips.

"You think you're fucking something, don't you? I'd quit smiling like that before I give those fish lips something to smile about!" Destiny steps towards me and I can't help the laugh the comes past my lips.

All my life I've been insulted for these lips of mine, but fish lips? That's got to be one of my favourites. Honestly, it's hysterical really. A fucking fish? That's the best she can do as an insult?

Destiny becomes even more agitated by my lack of hostility from her attempted insult and steps forward yet again. This time her hand rises and I think she's about to swing for me when Penny rushes over.

"Hey, hey! What the fuck is going on here?" She demands at Destiny as I stifle my laughter and compose myself.

"Get out the way! It's time I taught the newbie a lesson." Destiny tells Penny as a few other girls enter the dressing room. Penny's hand rises to motion Destiny to a stop.

"Calm down, have you lost your fucking mind Destiny?" Penny asks her and Destiny's beady eyes turn on Penny.

"Get out the way!" She repeats and Penny shakes her head.

"No, if there's an issue here we sort it the old fashioned way. No fighting." Penny says and the other girls stand to watch the small commotion.

The old fashioned way? Does she mean like a bare knuckle fight or something? I bloody hope not.

"The old fashioned way?" Destiny asks Penny just as confused as I am.

"Yes, on the stage. Bruising each other's faces isn't going to get either of you any money. So settle whatever the fuck your problem with each other is out there!" Penny points in the direction of the club.

"Both of you on a stage. Whoever earns the most is the superior, no more arguments." Penny explains and Destiny surprises me by smiling herself. Meanwhile my smile is wiped clean off. She can't be serious can she? Me? On stage?

"Oh that's just too easy." She sighs in delight and Penny just nods.

"It's settled then. Who is going to count for Destiny?" Penny looks over at the girls. And they're all silent, looking at Destiny slightly terrified.

"I will." Kitty steps out from the back of the group. I hadn't even realised she had come back in with them all.

"Good. I'll count for Cashmere then. Whoever has the most after one song is the winner." Penny says and then turns to me as the rest of the girls file out of the changing rooms now that the commotion is settled.

"Penny I can't dance." I fret to her as soon as Destiny leaves the room.

"Yes, you can. Do you remember what I showed you?" She asks and begins pulling out a few more garments from her own locker.

"Yes but I have no chance beating Destiny with just that, she's been doing it for years!" I sound just as frantic as I feel right now.

"Plus that was just in front of you and I. I've never danced for an audience before. I'll freak out and chock." I add and Penny turns from her locker and holds an outfit out to me.
