singing softly, eyes locked with yours "🎶It's a cold game, hun, gotta stay woke.🎶" a subtle shiver
grabs a microphone from the stand "Good evening, darlings. I hope you're ready for some chills and thrills tonight."
notices the woman in her 40's walking around the tables to the stage
starts spinning a tale, weaving words with seductive charm "Now, this song is for all you lovers out there. It's about passion, desire, and the dark secrets we keep hidden. So come closer, darlings, and let me whisper it in your ear..."
nods at the woman as she walks off to the stage
winks at LatinaBauer, then begins to sing a sultry rendition of "Addicted to Love"
smiles at the woman who has her eyes fixated on the stage
moves sensually across the stage, running her hands over her body "I'm... addicted to love... and I want you... to be mine... tonight."
her eyes light up as she looks back at the woman who is now sitting at the bar
pauses dramatically, scanning the crowd "And now, darlings, I'm going to share a little secret with you.
nods at the woman who is looking very interested in the performance
leans in close to the microphone, voice barely above a whisper "This song, my loves, it's not just about passion and desire...
nods again as the woman sits at the bar
As Velvet LaRue continues her performance, the woman at the bar becomes increasingly entranced and emotionally affected, leading to a breakdown
watches the woman closely as she starts to tear up
noticing the woman's distress, she quickly wraps up her performance "Thank you, darlings! I hope you enjoyed that. Goodnight!" bows playfully
watches as the woman leaves the bar and goes back home
grabs a bottle of water and approaches the woman at the bar "Hey there, are you alright? Here, have some water."
places a comforting hand on the woman's shoulder "You seem shaken up. Is everything okay? Do you need someone to talk to?"
"Well no.. My ex used to bring me here and dance with me.."
gently squeezes the woman's shoulder "I'm so sorry to hear that. It must have been really tough for you.
"I know.. I think I'll just head home."
quickly grabs her coat and takes out a business card "If you ever need someone to talk to or if you want to try something new, give me a call.
"Thanks.. I'll keep that in mind."
takes a deep breath, gathers her belongings, and stands up "Look, I understand if you don't want to talk about it right now.
"No I do.. but like I said my ex used to bring me here.."
leans in closer, speaking softly "I know it's hard, but maybe it's time to move on.
"Yeah you're probably right... But it's just so hard sometimes.."
puts a hand on LatinaBauer's arm "I understand, hun. Moving on isn't easy, but you're stronger than you think.
"Thanks.. I'll see you around."
The next day, LatinaBauer spots Velvet LaRue performing at a local park and decides to approach her once again
approaches Velvet LaRue "Hi, it's you again. The woman at the bar."
smiles warmly "Ah, hello there! Nice to see you again. How are you feeling today?"
"Better... I've been doing a lot of thinking."
raises an eyebrow "Oh? And what thoughts might those be?"
"I wanted to thank you for your kindness the other night.. And I was wondering if you'd like to grab coffee sometime?"
pauses for a moment, considering the offer, then smirks "Coffee, huh? Well, darlin', I'm always up for a good cup.
grabs LatinaBauer's hand "Great! Let's go then. I know this amazing coffee shop just a few blocks away. You won't be disappointed."
grabs LatinaBauer's hand and starts walking briskly towards the coffee shop "You won't believe the selection they have there!
as they walk, Velvet LaRue notices a suspicious-looking character lurking nearby "Hold on a sec, babe. I think we've got a bit of trouble on our hands." leans in closer to LatinaBauer "Stay close to me."
stays close to Velvet LaRue, looking at her nervously
whispers in LatinaBauer's ear "Just stay calm, hun. I've dealt with characters like him before.
