𝑳𝑶𝑳𝑨 was working her shift as a bartender at the Pearl that night. She was busy waiting on tables and serving drinks at the bar. A group of three people sat down at one of Lola's tables and she walked over to the table. She pulled out her notepad, preparing to write down their orders.
"Hey, what can I get for you guys?" Lola asked
One of the men looked up and Lola noticed it was Oliver.
"Lo? What are you doing here?" Oliver asked
At the mention of Lola, the other man, which was revealed to be Brian, looked up.
"Rory?" Brian asked
"You three know each other?" Monica Fuentes asked
She raised an eyebrow. She was Carter Verone's girlfriend. This made Lola feel extremely nervous considering she knew what kind of man Verone was, and she was worried about what Oliver and Brian got caught up in.
"I'm so sorry, Ms. Fuentes. I didn't know these were friends of yours." Lola apologized
"It's alright. What's your name?" Monica asked
"Lorelei." Lola responded
"And how do you know these two?" Monica asked
"Uh..." Lola stuttered
"Rory's my girlfriend." Brian said
He pulled Lola onto his lap and kissed her cheek. Lola internally sighed, glad Brian took control over the situation.
"Yeah." Lola agreed
Before Monica could say anything else, Roman walked over to the table.
"What's up?" Oliver asked
"He's here, man." Roman said
"Where's he at?" Brian asked
Roman nodded to his left.
"He's over there. Don't look." Roman said
Of course, Brian looked. Oliver rolled his eyes at his brother. Verone spotted them in seconds. He sent a staff member, Iris, to retrieve them.
"Excuse me. Mr. Verone would like for you to join him." Iris said
Lola got up.
"I better get back to work." Lola said
"He wants you to join him as well, Lorelei." Iris added
Lola looked at Brian and Oliver confused. The two just shrugged their shoulders.
"Let's do it." Monica said
She got up from the table and began following the woman.
"See what I'm talking about?" Roman asked
Oliver and Roman followed Monica. Brian laced his fingers with Lola's and the two followed the group. They made it to the VIP area where Verone was seated. He stood up once his guests arrived. Monica took a seat behind Verone. Oliver and Roman took a seat next to each other while Brian and Lola stood in front of Verone.
"How ya doing?" Brian asked Verone
Verone adjusted the sleeve of his shirt, staring at the blonde in front of him.
"Good. You enjoying your night?" Verone asked
He put his hands on his hips.
"Yeah. I'm having a good time." Brian replied
"Good, good." Verone said
Brian's eyes flickered down to Lola. Verone noticed this and followed his gaze. He smirked and looked at Brian.
"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Verone asked
Brian smiled down at the Toretto girl.
"Yeah. She's gorgeous." Brian said
A small smirk formed on his lips.
"You got balls, kid. I can appreciate that. Women are a very powerful force. You see the blonde sitting with the gentleman right here?" Verone asked
He pointed over at a tall, captivating blonde at a table. She was flirting with a heavy-set man.
"Five minutes of her time and she can get anything she wants from him. Watch." Verone said
He chuckled as everyone watched intently as the man and his new lady friend stood up and began to walk away from the table.
"I wonder where they're going. Sit down." Verone instructed
Brian sat down and pulled Lola onto his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist protectively. Verone turned to face Roman.
"So, you, uh, lit my man's car on fire. Is that right?" Verone asked
He sat down next to Monica.
"Yeah. I did. You see, I got a problem with authority." Roman replied, casually
"Hmm. I have that same problem. For me, it's cops in particular." Verone said
He looked over at Brian and Lola tensed up in Brian's lap, knowing his past. Verone looked back at Roman and chuckled.
"Let's take a walk. Come on." Verone said
"We just got here." Monica argued
Verone shot her a stern look.
"Now we're leaving." Verone replied
He held out his hand for Monica and she took it, standing up.
"Let's go." Verone ordered
Everyone stood up and began to follow the tall man down a long hallway.
