Ariana felt a little jealous.she couldn't even imagine having so much money that you would casually carry a couple of hundred around with you. "Well you are a very lucky man then Stanley" she said lightly, beginning to clear some glasses off of a nearby table. "Can I get you anything else before I go?" She asked.

Stanley smiled softly, "Well I like to share the luck," he said softly. He looked her over one last time, "No I'm okay, I'm going to head home, I'll see you next Friday?" he asked her. He wanted her to look forward to seeing him next week.

@ Aoibhe

She smiled. "I look forward to seeing you next Friday Stanley, I'll be here Monday and Wednesday too if you miss me too much" she teased and waved at him before bringing the glasses to the bar.

"Mr.Moneybags sure does have a thing for you" Bonnie teased, standing next to her on the bar. Ariana laughed softly "he's not a bad guy, I don't mind.. and the tips are a bonus" she said and finished out her shift, getting changed before heading out to her car.

Stanley had left the club heading home. He didn't want to freak her out by hanging around. He lay down in a warm bath, and finished taking care of himself, after having been so expertly teased by her. He relaxed back, enjoying a night of quiet after a busy week.

Carly sighed as her car wouldn't start, having to call her manager to come out and give her a jump start. She finally got home and paid the babysirltter with a smile before getting in to bed and pulling Sophia close to her in a cuddle.

Stanley poured himself another glass of Scotch, feeling the liquid slide down his throat with the familiar burn. He lay back staring out at the night sky. He thought briefly about what Skye might be up on this beautifully clear night, before the alcohol and his exhaustion caused him to pass out on his lounger.

Stanley spent the weekend drinking and watching television, or reading up on the latest new technology, or invention. He was feeling entirely relaxed and refreshed.

Ariana spent the weekend looking after Sophia, before getting ready to go back to school and work on monday.she was tired after the weekend, Sophia had had a temperature and had spent most of the weekend crying and staying up all night sick. By the time she got her to bed on Sunday night all she wanted was a cigarette, but she refrained having not had one since Sophia was born the year previous.

She switched on the television and was asleep within minutes, waking up to the sound of her alarm the following morning. Numbly, she went through her weekly routine.

Stanley spent the week working, he was finally getting things in hand. His new company would be up and running with clients within the next month. He as stressing and worried about making everything work smoothly. On the Thursday he spotted a beautiful necklace that would suit Skye perfectly. He thought about it all night, before deciding to buy it for her.

On Friday, wrapped the necklace up and slipped it into his glove box. He made is way to the club earlier than the previous week, hoping to catch her stage dance.

@ Aoibhe

Skye was just getting ready to perform, in a slinky silver ballgown for a Marilyn Monroe-esque number. She fixed her hair quickly in the mirror before heading out on stage to perform. She put all of the energy she could in to it, but she knew it wasn't the best she could have done, but she was absolutely wrecked from the week she had put down.

@ A Drop On the Window

Stanley found his way to the stage area with his scotch, as her name was called. He smiled up at her with a wink, slipping a smaller tip onto the stage. He sat back and watched her, before finding his way to a private booth again, hoping she'd find her way to him when she could.

@ Aoibhe

Skye danced for about 20 minutes before finishing out her set and heading back on to the floor. She went to the bar to pick up another drink for Stanley and delivered it to his table with a smile. "Hello there, so lovely to see you again" she said with a warm smile, standing over his table. The outfit she had changed in to, gave him a great view of her cleavage from the way she stood. "How was your week?" She asked.

@ A Drop On the Window

Stanley smiled brightly as she walked over. His eyes looking over her briefly, "Gosh you look amazing today Skye," he said lightly. He offered her the seat next to him as he took the drink from her. "My week was long, I'm getting tired of dealing with everything, hopefully things will be sorted soon," he said softly. He sat back his eyes looking over her cleavage occasionally, "how about yourself? how was your week?" he asked her.

@ Aoibhe

Skye smiled brightly as she took the seat next to him."Thank you very much Stanley" she said gratefully, letting her hand rest on his knee as she listened to him, a sympathetic look on her face. "well I'ma sure it will all be worth it once you have it all pissed together" the blonde reassured him. "My week was alright, a friend of mine was sick so I was looking after her a bit, so I'mma a little tired, but doing fine" she said with a noob as she gave his knee a little squeeze.

@ A Drop On the Window

Stanley smiled wider, "yeah I hope so, then I'll be able to go back to focusing on my other operations," he said lightly. He frowned gently, "Oh I'm sorry your friend was sick, I hope she feels better soon," he commented. He sipped his drink some more, enjoying having her hand on his knee.

He looked her over again, "are you up for a dance, or I'm more than happy to just chat out the back," he said lightly. He was enjoying spoiling her a tiny bit.

@ Aoibhe

Ariana nodded kindly. "Yeah she's feeling much better now thank God" she commented, a friendly smile as he looked him over. His watch looked like it cost more than her rent for the year,and his suit the same. She let out a soft sigh trying to imagine how it would feel to have so much expendable income.

She would've loved to have a conversation, but knew she couldn't refuse a dance. "No, I can dance for you, it's not a problem" she said brightly, taking his hand to lead him to the back.

@ A Drop On the Window

Stanley smiled softly, and got up following her. "We can still chat while you dance," he told her lightly. His eyes looking her over, he was already growing aroused. He walked into the back room, he pulled out his money clip front his front jacket pocket before taking it off and setting it down to side.

His suit was made out of a lovely soft flowing material. Similar to silk but less garish. He sat down in the seat and looked up at her, "Honestly, if you need a break, and just want to chat, I'm happy to pay the usual rate and just chat," he told her.

@ Aoibhe

Ariana looked him over, thinking for a second. "Are you sure.. I don't mind dancing if you want" she told him sweetly, pulling her dress down a little at the Hem, not that it covered much more up. She thought for a few seconds more before sitting down on the couch next to him. "Of you decide you want a dance, just say it, okay?" She told him, placing her hand on his knee again.

@ A Drop On the Window

Stanley smiled softly, "of course I'm sure, I just enjoy spending time with you," he said softly. He looked her over, "so how was Law school this week?" he asked her genuinely curious. He watched her closely, his eyes looking her in the eyes.

@ Aoibhe

Ariana smiled brightly as she began to tell him all about her week, both the good and the bad. "I'm flunking out of one of my modules because of participation though.. I've missed a couple lectures to be here and uhh, other stuff. So I'm gonna have to find some time to do extra credit" she said with a nervous laugh. "Sorry I'm ranting . How was your week?" She asked, glancing up and making wye contact with him.

Stanley sat listening to her talk about her week. He smiled softly, "How much do you make each day working here?" he asked her curious. He smiled placing his hand on hers, "My week was okay, next week will be less busy," he said lightly.
