emelia-vitale:

Emmy had been avoiding the club when she wasn’t working. She came in right before her shifts and left as soon as she was done singing. It’d only been a few days since she was an escort and since the incident. There were reasons why she didn’t have casual sex and exactly what she thought would happen, would. Except with the last people she expected and the wrong person getting hurt. She wished it was her though. Usually one for yoga or pilates, instead Emmy found herself at indulgences gym, working up a sweat to relieve some stress. She didn’t even bother braiding her hair but had it up in a messy bun as she finished her work out, taking a sip of her bottle. She noticed someone close to her and took her headphone out. “Sorry, did you say something?”

isabella decided to go to the gym to relax and get in some nice excerising. isabella could never go to a normal gym to work out since there were always cameras there watching her every move. hoping that if she made one embarrassing mistake, they could sell it to a tabloid like tmz or something. so the redhead spent most of her free time at the club since it was a place she could go to where she never had to worry about cameras around. sure when people realized who she was they would take a photo of her, but nothing was ever sold for money, so she felt comfortable. “i was just asking you how your workout went?”

hayes-dawson:

Hayes was fresh to the club, having only joined the day before. It was a change, right around the corner from the hospital he worked and a better place to stash away and sleep that wasn’t an on-call room. He could afford it, not really having much else to pay for. Still not sure what to do first, he sat at the bar on his phone, checking some texts from an intern on patient updates when he heard someone say something, causing him to look up, “Hm? Sorry, what was that?” asked he.

isabella spent the whole day at her apartment working on writing some music. for the first time in weeks she didn’t have a serious case of writers block, so she wanted to take advantage of it. once she had spent a few hours working on a new song, she decided it would be time for her to take a little break. so she decided to go to indulgence for the night as a way to relax. “oh, i was just asking if this seat was taken.” she said to hayes.

valxnciaaa:

with finals coming up,valencia found any and every chance she could to study. which meant that during breaks, her head was buried in a textbook. she hadn’t even heard anyone walk into the room until she looked up and frowned. “sometimes i really wish i’d know how much strippers made before i started college. would have definitely made a career out of this shit. all of these papers, tests, and all of this studying is for the birds. i’m sick of it!”

“you might make a lot of money as a stripper, but i bet that once you get your degree and a good job with it, that you will make a lot more money.” isabella said with a soft chuckle. the singer knew that she was so lucky to have won american idol at only sixteen. because she won it at such a young age, she already had a career set for her. she didn’t have to worry about college, once she finished high school she had a instant career as a singer.

coriihere:

Cori had quickly begun spending far too much time at this club. For a client, she didn’t partake in much of Indulgence’s amenities, but it was becoming a sort of familiar spot. Even if there was a bit of contention within her relationship with Grace. Indulgence wasn’t a place Cori really felt judged, and it was a good feeling.      “Oh, I was just wondering if this seat was taken,” Cori repeated to the other woman. Cori loved to swim, but could almost never find time for it. Now that she had a couple of days to herself, it was high on her priority list.

“oh it is... by you.” the redhead said with a friendly smile. isabella tried her best to be as friendly as she could to everyone, no matter if they were staff or client. and the redhead liked to meet new people and make new friends when she was at the club. it was the only place where she wasn’t surrounded by yes men all the time. 

she bit the pen as she stared down at the notepad in front of her. she wished that she could get out of her writers block that she had been in when it came to writing new songs. “so how is your day going?” she asked cori, knowing that she would get more out of talking to the woman next to her than staring down at a blank notepad.

danielmendcza:

the last time danny had been in the pool was a lot more nc-17 than this. now, he was just enjoying the warm water. he hadn’t been paying attention when he made a big splash. immediately, he felt bad and swam to the edge. he expressed his apologies but it seemed they had gone unheard. he went a different approach. “did i get your papers wet?”

isabella shook her soaked papers and looked up laughing softly. “don’t worry about it.” she said to daniel. “there wasn’t anything good on it since i can’t think of anything that would make this songs perfect.” she explained to daniel. isabella would’ve been a little upset if isabella had made some work on her song, but she hadn’t.

jenifer-jikander:

Jeni had sat down near with a cup of coffee, her laptop and cell phone. She also had a larger case near her that had her camera in it. She had just returned from taking photos for her upcoming article and she had needed to put the photos on her camera into her computer so she could start working on her column for the magazine. After connecting the camera and importing all of her photos she packed it away carefully. She started typing when she realized she forgot to mute her phone and one of her reminders started playing a loud ringtone. She was quick and muted it fast and returned to typing up her article to send over for her deadline. “Oh I said sorry for the phone. I hope I didn’t interrupt your work.”

isabella was trying her hardest to get more of her song written. it was so hard for her to get muse for her songs that she was working on for her newest album. she knew that if she didn’t give signs of at least her songs being worked on that they might talk to her manager and get her to send isabella back to california because they might see it as her having too much fun in new york instead of working. but there were times where isabella was just going through a writing funk, and recently that has been what has happened to her. “it’s perfectly okay. you can’t really interrupt someone’s work when there is no work getting done.” she smiled at her.

irishart:

Iris knew that most of Indulgence’s clients came from a wealthy background. Still, she never expected to spot one of American Idol’s winners sitting on the edge of the indoor pool. The blonde’s mouth gaped open and a grin spread against her mouth. “You’re shitting me!” she exclaimed—a cheer that came out way too loud and distracted Isabella from her work. “Uhh—I just think it’s awesome that you’re here, that’s all,” she explained with a shrug of her shoulders. “I really love your music.”

isabella laughed softly, she saw people who were fans of her on the daily, just not usually at indulgence. and while some people might’ve been upset with going to an exclusive club and having one of the staffs fan out over them, not isabella. she loved hearing that other people liked her music, just like how she would tell others she was fans of that she loved their music. “oh, well thank you.” she said with a bright smile.

xcharlottecx:

Charlotte stopped to regard the woman, looking almost as uncomfortable as Charlotte felt. “Well, if it’s your friend’s room, and I don’t see your friend – she wouldn’t mind if I used her bathroom quickly then, would she? Besides, reception gave me the key to this room, so I must be in the right place – are you sure you aren’t in the wrong place?” she quizzed, turning the woman’s question back around on her as she looked around for the entrance to the bathroom, water still dripping off of her onto the carpet below. 

“i don’t think she would mind. like maybe if you were here to like break things in the bathroom it might be a different story.” she said with a soft chuckle. “well since my friend’s key worked and her stuff is here, i don’t think it was my fault.” she said the charlotte. “it might’ve been an accidental computer error or something where someone was given the wrong key and number.” she suggested to charlotte.

[iscbellc]

isabella was sitting at the indoor pool with her song journal in her lap. the redhead was trying her best to try to finish writing her newest song. the girl knew that while she was taking some time off to be able to enjoy life, she still needed to slowly work on her songs. that way she didn’t feel rushed once she had a deadline to finish writing her songs before having to record them. she also was trying to convince her record label to let her record her newest album in their new new york studio once all her songs were done. she looked up when she heard a person’s voice. “what did you say?” she asked.

jcssica-park:

“Yeah baby, I love you too, have fun with your father.” she said into the phone, walking the halls of the guest rooms in nothing but a large button up sleep shirt and her panties. Jessica had no shame, and thankfully nobody was loud enough in their activities to reach her daughter on the other end of the line. Jessica paced as her daughter spoke, looking down and not noticing when another walked down the hall as well. She jumped when their feet appeared in her vision, stepping back and quickly saying a goodbye to her daughter and hanging up the phone, not knowing what they would say and not wanting her daughter to hear them. “Sorry, I should totally watch where I’m pacing.” she admitted to the other, though she didn’t run into them, she still felt bad for getting in their way.

isabella had been exploring more of indulgence. she had only been a member for a few weeks, and she wanted to make sure she knew her way around the place, that way she couldn’t get lost. isabella had never been the best at directions and while she didn’t want to get lost in club; she wasn’t able to accomplish that. the redhead had noticed that everything in this hallway looked similar to one she walked through ten minutes ago. so she either just walked in a circle or was completely lost. she continued to walk forward, hoping to find the main part of the club or someone who could help her figure out her way around this place. she smiled when she noticed someone since she knew that she wouldn’t be lost forever. “no, it’s completely okay.”

xcharlottecx:

A short walk. What are the chances? Those had been the words Charlotte had told herself when she had decided that the day was nice enough to walk to Indulgence, rather than get a ride… Unfortunately, the walk, however short, also happened to coincide with a sudden downpour of rain that left the brunette soaked through, her clothes hanging off of her body as she made her way to the desk to retrieve a key for one of the suite’s upstairs, knowing that unless she got herself dry – their would be no recovering from the dampener the rain would put on her mood… 

She had received several strange stares as she traipsed past people, giving them less than a glance as she rode the elevator up to the suites, quickly finding her assigned one and heading inside. To her dismay, she couldn’t help but notice the sole occupant as she entered, pinching the bridge of her nose between two fingers. 

“Look, theirs obviously been a mix-up or something – but as you can see, I need this room, so you’ll simply have to go,” she huffed, her face dropping from a smile to a frown as she turned away from them making her way towards the bathroom…

isabella had been spending the night with some of her friends she hadn’t seen in the months that she was on tour. she was enjoying her time off from touring. the redhead hadn’t had much free time since she won american idol six years ago. she spent all her free time working, but now she was able to relax. there was no time crunch to finish her next album since right now her last one was still making the charts even though it came out months ago.

her friend asked her to get something from her room that she left in there. so isabella made her way up to where the gold members had their rooms, so she could help her friend. she started to look around her friend’s room trying to find out where her friend’s phone was.

she was shocked when she heard the door open. “well this isn’t my room, it’s my friends. so i don’t think you can just have the room.” she said to charlotte.

danielmendcza:

“ido but they’re nowhere to be found,” he countered with a tight smile. “storms, eh?” 

“well if i see someone who i can i will let you know.” she said with a smile. “yeah, wasn’t expecting something like this.”

tzipporahxevans:

Tzipporah was having quite the day, having fallen ill the day prior, but work must be done and she was in the office nonetheless. She began to make her rounds when she stumbled over her heels in the hall, nearly bumping the edge of the wall and rested her hand to the surface. Spotting someone close by, she offered a rare smile, and lied, “You’ll have to excuse me, darling. Tripped over my own feet.”

isabella had been walking down the hall when she heard a little noise, so the redhead went over to it to see what was going on and make sure that no one was hurt. it was when she saw tzipporah resting her hand on the wall. “are you okay?” she asked her. “a trip can still cause someone to hurt themselves.” she offered her a kind smile.

[iscbellc]

danielmendcza:

“What’s a guy gotta do to get a fix around here…” He didn’t care what it was– he just needed a distraction from the storm. The last thing he wanted was to be surrounded by people who were mere strangers to him. 

“i think if you know the right people you could be able to get one.” the redhead replied to daniel. she never did drugs herself, but she knew several people in here who did them.

elecnorcook:

One of these days, Ellie would just take the damn compliment and be done with it. Today was evidently not that day. “People say that,” she replied, letting out a deep exhale and scratching the back of her neck. “I just… I dunno. When dancers can dance, it’s nice. But I’m no Shakira. It’s… weird.”

“you don’t have to be shakira to dance well.” the redhead laughed softly. “i can’t dance as well as most people can, but i still try my best to dance. and people tell me i’m a good dancer. and i bet you dance much better than you think you do.” the singer said to eleanor honestly.

[iscbellc]

scarlettbllmrt:

To say this whole arrangement took some getting used to would be an understatement, it has been a few days and Scarlett has yet to feel fully settled in her new role as a client unsure of where exactly the boundaries lied, after all she still wanted to keep her job after this though that didn’t mean she wasn’t going to take the upmost advantage of it while it last, she just had to tread a little more carefully around specific individuals, just to be safe of course. In fact she even went as far as to make a mini bucket list dedicated to this week, which really beg her to wonder, is she the sole one that made one proving even further just how special she really is. “Psst… Hey you…” Scarlett called out to the closest individual in her vicinity. “Hi!” the corner of her lips tugged into a cloyingly sweet smile. “Having fun?” Scarlett inquired with a cock of the head, fairly sure the person before her is also participating in the club switcheroo. “Did you check off everything you planned on doing or is there still some things you are eager to do before the week up. Or am I really the only odd soul with a bucket list here.” If she had to bet money  on it she would go with the latter truth be told but it never hurt to ask and who knows if the other has one as well she could help them check on more thing off the list, that is if they return the favor of course.

isabella wasn’t expecting to be stuck in the club past the time she had to work. and that she couldn’t do her after performance routine that she started on tour and continued to do during the role switch week since she was performing on stage for people and needed to be able to rest after singing. so she just hoped the next day show will be fine and not ruined because she wasn’t able to rest properly. but isabella was general a positive person, something that she even had in situations like this one. she laughed softly when she heard scarlett’s question. “i am. i love being able to perform in front of people, what i hate most about my down town from touring is not being able to perform in front of a crowd, and now i am able to.” she chuckled softly. “well i did check singing in a club off my bucket list, something i didn’t even know was on it.” she said with a smile. “what about you? is this week everything you thought it would be? or do you regret switching roles, if you did switch roles?” the redhead asked scarlett.

elecnorcook:

“Someone asked me for a private lap dance,” Ellie began with a look of bewilderment on her face, looking as if she wanted to invert into herself. The outfit she had chosen for the special performance was meant to resemble a lumberjack – a half-ripped red and black plaid shirt over a black push-up bra to go with her leather shorts and knee high boots. “And I was just like… why? I have the grace of a newborn giraffe…”

isabella laughed softly at what ellie said. “what can i say? you are an attractive person. while you might have the grace of a newborn giraffe, that doesn’t change how beautiful you are.” isabella replied to ellie. isabella was kind of happy she didn’t switch to a dancer or escort this week since she wouldn’t have to worry about impressing people with her body, instead just her voice like she did at any of her concerts.
