(Subplot) Charlie’s Downward Spiral

Lucy could still feel John’s arm tightly on her hip, which gave her a sense of safety considering the man on the other side of the table was a sociopath. John truly was a genius in opening the can of worms that was Charlie talking about himself and his life achievements. Lucy was getting tired of having to pretend she was interested but was amazed that John kept up with the levels of enthusiasm for as long as he had been doing. Lucy had stopped listening after he spoke about all of the different women had fucked since joining NA.

Charlie was interrupted by the chime of new movement detected on Mel’s camera system, which he hoped it was Cassie coming over again and he could watch Mel tell her to go fuck herself. He was confident that Sophie telling her friend that Cassie couldn’t be trusted should fix everything. He would find a way to deal with Cassie once Mel and Lucy were shipped off to Naked Forever like the other three. He wished he could have at least had a chance to fuck Anna before she moved over to NF. Women with that kind of body are one in a millions but he still had the jackpot with Lucy.

Charlie pulled up the feed and yelled out, “What the fuck!?” Mel was flipping off the camera and saying,

Hey, pencil dick! We have her, and you never will again. Try getting a girlfriend you don't have to brainwash into liking you next time, you utter creep. Oh and in case you were interested, I showed Sophie your Insta profile before you came over. You aren't her type at all, "Wimpy poser" was the phrase I think she used. She should remember soon enough, I'll check and get back to you. Oh yeah, and just so you try and do better in future, I thought you might like to know you were fucking awful in bed! And in a really weird and creepy kind of a way. Eww! I don't even like to think about it! Anyway, talk to you never!"

Charlie did not realize that he had the phone loud enough for both John and Lucy to hear everything that Mel said. Lucy and John were trying to hold back their laughter as Charlie ran from the booth and headed for the VIP area. John said, “Let’s get out of her before he comes back. Can we stay at your place for the time being since it seems like Mel is inviting Captain Creepy to the apartment?”

Lucy laughed at the last remark and asked, “I take that you are no longer interested at working for Naked Ambition? You seemed like such a strong candidate.”

John kept his hand tight on her hip and said, “I would rather be kicked in the balls a hundred times before doing what that prick does to women.” Lucy laughed and rested her head against his shoulder as they exited the club. They were easily able to wave down a taxi thanks to Lucy being naked and were quickly on their way to hide out at Lucy’s until Charlie was dealt with.
