“Hey, boss? Can I talk to you for a minute?” Jesse rocked on his feels at the door to Kendrick’s office.
“Of course,” the pale haired man answered without looking up from his paperwork. Jesse smiled brightly and sashayed into the room and plopped down on the edge of Kendrick’s desk.
“So I was thinking that since business hasn’t been all that great lately, we could have a theme night. ,We’ll have drink specials relating to the theme. The dancers can wear outfits that match. Maybe even offer a discount if customers dress up as well? It’ll be something exciting to get the people going.” He smiled and waited for his boss’s reply.
“Mmhmm, okay.” Kendrick mumbled, eyes still focused on his work.
Jesse rolled his eyes at Kendrick’s inattention, but at least he’d gotten what he wanted! He slipped down from the desk and headed for the door. “Thanks boss!” He called over his shoulder before shutting the office door.
“Uh?” Kendrick glanced up from his work and found no one to be in the room. Shrugging to himself he went back to going the month’s invoices.

When Kendrick showed up to work a few weeks later he was pleased to find a line around the building outside. But then as he moved inside he was greatly distressed to find the place filled with a hoard of construction workers. He failed to notice the various states of undress they were all in.
He felt slightly better when Mia came bounding up to him dressed in daisy dukes, a cropped white tank top and bright red suspenders.
“What a fabulous idea to drum up some business! And the Construction Theme is amazing!” She twitted happier, placed a kiss on his cheek and went off to help waitress since the bar was packed full of people.
Kendrick stared after her stupidly for a moment and then moved to the bar where he found Jesse wearing a hardhat while he mixed drinks.
“Hi boss!” He chirped. “Busy night!”
“So I see. Everything’s going okay, though?” Kendrick asked warily.
“Oh yeah! The girls are helping out. I guess the Dollhouse is closed for a Private Party tonight so most of the regs are stopping by here for a drink. They may get scared off once the dancers start, but in the meantime their money spends the same!” Jesse smiled and pulled a beer from the tap.
“Hey, Jesse! Table three needs a Jackhammer, a Morning Wood shot and a Nut Driver!” Morgan sat down her tray and started adjusting her top, pulling out a wad of cash to shove into the jar in the back. “I like it when the girls from the Dollhouse are here, tips are great!”
“Well if ya got it, flaunt it. As they say!” Jesse winked as he mixed the drinks. Morgan laughed softly and fixed her shirt again while waiting for the drinks, making sure an ample amount of cleavage showed.
“I’m sure Nick is enjoying the show as well.” Jesse smiled as he sat down two glasses on Morgan’s tray.
“I know he is.” Morgan winked cheekily, took the final shot from Jesse’s hand, and moved back to table three. Hips swaying the entire way. On stage Nick could be seen with his eyes glued on Morgan… and Kendrick could hear more than a few missed notes.
“So boss, since theme night seems to be such a great success. I was thinking we could it again sometime? I have a bunch of ideas.” Jesse sing-songed.
Kendrick looked around the room, it was packed full and not just because the Dollhouse was closed for the night. Also people seemed to be downing the theme drinks and shots like there was no tomorrow. Kendrick’s eye practically light up like dollar signs.
“Yes, Jesse. Theme night, once a month. You’re in charge of the planning.” Kendrick nodded finally. “And you get a raise.”
“Well thank you sir!” Jesse smiled brightly and moved down the line to take an order.
The band quieted down and left the stage for a break while the announcers voice piped through the speakers. Kendrick realized he had never met the deep voiced man and thought he would probably rectify that at some point.
The lights whirled around and a guitar rift started up, Kendrick vaguely recognized it as The Lumberjack by Jackyl… Jesse’s doing no doubt, and then Dmitri was on stage.
Kendrick had to admit, the Russian had a gift. He drew the crowd in and had them (figuratively) eating out of the palm of his hand. Surprisingly the Dollhouse girls seemed to be enjoying the show.
Turning around Kendrick found a layer shot in front of him and raised an eyebrow at Jesse. “Morning Wood shot, I think you’ll like it.”
Kendrick shrugged and downed the shot.

The night wore on without much incident, and pretty soon things started to wind down. Kendrick still at the bar when Dmitri (cleaned up and dressed after his shift) took a seat and flagged Jesse down.
“The usual?” Jesse asked even while getting a glass.
“Da,” the Russian nodded. Jesse threw started pouring light rum into the blender, humming to himself.
A moment later a Pina Colada, complete with an umbrella and pineapple wedge was sat before him. Kendrick eyed Dmitri from the corner of his eye as he took a dainty sip; more than a little envious.
Then there was a matching drink before him, and he raised surprised eyes to Jesse. “You looked like you wanted one too,” he shrugged and disappeared into the back.
“Ah, Jesse make best.” Dmitri smacked his lips and sat down his drink.
“Quite the connoisseur, I see.” Kendrick took a sip of his own drink and had to admit it was quite tasty.
“Da.” Dmitri leaned closer to Kendrick, lowering his voice. “Is secret, but I no like hard stuff. People think I drink vodka from bottle, but is no good for me.”
“I feel the same way!” Kendrick was mildly shocked at this revelation, but heartened. “I can’t even smell a shot of tequila without my eyes watering.”
“I feel same.” Dmitri took another sip of his drink. “Give me frozen drink, blonde girl and I happy man.”
“Girl?” Kendrick choked on his drink.
“Da, this just job. I like ze women. I am… good with ladies.” He grinned. Kendrick laughed and clicked his glass against Dmitri’s.
“I think I like you quite a lot, comrade.”
