Back at the corner table the three heads of IWX chatted about the future of the woman who just sang her heart out.
“So, Davis. What do you think? She’s good. Cyrus was right. This is an element IWX has never had before. This girl is classy and beautiful and can work a crowd.” Gage, Cyrus’ best friend, was excited as he was.
“I agree. Cyrus, we need this girl. She’s the total opposite of you and Wraith, but it would be cool to have her be your manager. We’ve talked about the new creepy sideshow theme idea for weeks and her as the ringleader would be perfect. It would be a new start for the Doom family. With Holly joining in, the fans would eat it up.”
“You think so?”
“Hell yes, Cy. She’s an amazing performer. Miss Wilson needs to be on a bigger stage.” Co-owner and founder of IWX, Davis Preston, loved what he was seeing. She was different and a real talent. “Make it happen, son.”
“You both know I’m interested in her romantically too, right? I never said otherwise. We started talking about Mia being on the show way before I started having these feelings for her. I know Mia won’t agree if she thinks I’m the only reason she’s getting this opportunity. She’s so modest, and I don’t even think she realizes how talented she is.” Cyrus rubbed his chin thinking of how he was going to convince her she deserves this shot. “I’m afraid she’s going to be angry at me for not talking to her about this.”
Gage spoke up, “Well, it’s our job to make her see she deserves it. She looks up to you, and I’m sure she values your opinion. Just talk to her. The girl is crushing on you hard and she won’t be mad. Don’t underestimate her, Cy. She may be all on board with this.”
“We just met in person yesterday. I can’t believe I let you and Colt talk me into this. I hope this doesn’t blow up in my face. Even talking to her online was a little dishonest. I don’t want her to think I’m trying to deceive her.”
Davis laughed stating, “But you asked for it. Now it’s time to suck it up, buttercup. We need this girl.”
“You’re an instigator, you crazy old fart.” Cyrus shook his head as the tipsy Davis just chuckled.

Backstage, Mia was beaming as she ran to her friend. “Oh, my god! Carrie, did you see who was with him? Gage Stone and Davis Preston! What are they doing here? The owners of IWX. I am freaking out now! This is so exciting!”
She grabbed a black wig and turned to pace the floor. Carrie tried to help her into her last outfit, struggling as Mia fidgeted around.
“MIA! Stand still. I need to get this corset tied up. If you break any of these rhinestones off… you’ll have bigger problems to worry about. Be still! Now give me the skirt part. Just calm down and go do what you do best.” Carrie struggled to help her get dressed.
Mia wore a red sequin and rhinestone corset burlesque outfit that sparkled in the light. A rip away skirt with a feather bustle covered the matching panties and stockings underneath. The corset went over the curves of her hips and made her shape look like pinup perfection. Her legs were amazing, and her wide hips made her hourglass shape look like a living doll.
Mia changed her wig to a dark one reminiscent of Dita Von Teese as Carrie stepped back and looked her friend over.
“FAB! Darling, you look better in this than I do. Go out there and make those men drool.”
Mia had asked the stagehand to see if Mr. Preston would play along with her next song, and he agreed. Davis had had a few drinks and was in good spirits, so he was all for playing alone. The older man was usually very strait-laced, but when he let loose was a lot of fun. This was her chance to impress the owners of IWX, and she was ready to make an impact.
One last chance to make her dreams come true. The most important thing was, she didn’t even realize it. She was just trying to impress that sexy man in the corner booth, and she would do just that.
