Chapter 4: The Belle of Bon Temp
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP! "Mnnmph…nuh." Lola turned onto her side and slapped the 'snooze' button on her alarm clock. She rubs her eyes, and then glares with malice towards the offending piece of technology. She sits-up and stretches her back with a satisfied grin. Lola put on the shorts and bra at the end of her bed then padded into the kitchen. Filling up her coffee pot with water, she goes to the cupboard to get a mug when she remembers. With a annoyed groan she puts down the pot and goes back into the bedroom.
"I gotta get more coffee," she grumbles. Getting a lavender tank top from her drawer she went into the bathroom.
Merlotte's Bar and Grill
"Hey Sam, I hear you gotta girlfriend." Arlene smirks as Sam nearly drops the glass he's cleaning.
"Wha-what are you talking about?" Sam smiles, inwardly worries. 'Please don't mean Tara.' Arlene shakes her head and puts her hands on her hips. "Maxine said you moved a new girl into Dawn's place."
"Oh geez," Sam sighs and rubs his neck. He opens his mouth to explain when the door slams open.
"SAMMY! COFFEE!" A girl orders in an exhausted tone, before stomping into the bar and plops down in a booth. Sam caught her gaze and winced at the glare she shot. With a groan and a roll of his eyes he walked back to the coffee machine, waving a confused Arlene to get to work. Walking over to the grumpy girl she pulled out her pen and paper.
"Welcome to…" The girl raised a hand to stop her and gave her a hooded glare.
"Coffee, black...please." Arlene nodded and jotted down the order just as Sookie came in. Wearing her 'crazy Sookie' grin she practically bounces into the bar over to Sam.
"Hey Chere! You're here early, everything ok?" Sam inquires with a raised eyebrow leaning over the counter.
"Yup, jus' thought I'd give Arlene a hand on account of it just being us two. And no Sam, I'm not trying to get a raise." Sookie smirks as he chuckles and grabs the order Arlene hands him.
"An' here I was thinking you didn't like reading my mind." He grins at her as he fills up a cup with coffee making Sookie roll her eyes playfully.
"I know you Sam, I don't need to read your mind. Oh Arlene I'll take that, why don't ya sit down while ya can." Sookie takes the older woman's tray seeing the grateful shine in her eyes.
"Oh thanks honey! Coby brought in an opossum last night and it took awhile to kick out the critter." Arlene sighed and pulled herself onto a barstool while Sam snorted with laughter. Sookie brought the coffee over to the only customer in the bar, who was practically sleeping in her seat. As soon as the cup was set on the table her eyes shot open making Sookie jump in surprise. The girl then grabbed the cup and downed it like a shot of whiskey; not even waiting for it to cool. The girl closed her eyes with the cup still in her hand, and Sookie just watched wide-eyed as the girl looked at her. Unable to resist, Sookie lowered her shields to make sure the girl was all right.
Lola watched in horror as the blonde waitress's eyes rolled back in her head before she collapsed on the floor.
"OH MY GAH!"
"SOOKIE!"
"CHERE?"
Lola, Arlene, and Sam all shouted at once before rushing over to the fallen girl. Sam picked up Sookie and cradled her in his lap. "Arlene, go get a cold clothe an' some water." Arlene nodded and with a worried look went to her given tasks. Sam looked up at Lola was checking the girls pulse.
"Lola, what happened?" He asked, using her real name so she would answer him seriously. She frowned and glared at him, "how the hell should I know! First she's all perky and shit, then she's playing the trust game by herself!" She reached into her pocket and slapped a twenty in front of Sam before getting up and going behind the bar.
"NOW what are you doing?"
"GETTING MY KEYS!" She hollers as she grabs her key ring from the hook she left it on yesterday. Stopping at the door she informed Sam "that money is for the coffee and both waitresses," then marched out the door. Arlene came back with the water and cold clothe just as Sookie was waking up. She rushed over to help Sam sit her up so she could drink the water without choking, pressing the clothe to Sookie's face she sighed.
"I'm always telling Sam he's working me to the point of passing out, then you go and do it first." She teases making Sam roll his eyes.
"I'm sorry Arlene, I'll try to faint on time from now on." Sookie replied with a lazy smirk. Sam helped her stand up and guided her towards his office.
"C'mon lie down in my office for a while, Arlene go help Terry unload the new stock." When Sam got Sookie seated he closed the office door and looked at her inquisitively. "What did you hear?" Sookie frowned and glared back at Sam, "who was she? She seemed awfully familiar with you."
"Lola my adopted cousin, now don't go changing the subject just answer me."
"You know that noise that comes from tv channels that don't have any signal? It's like her head was full of echos of that sound and it felt like my head was gonna fall right off it was so loud." Sam plops down in his chair and rubs his brow, 'great'.
Sookie stood up and gave Sam her 'crazy Sookie' smile, "well I'm feeling better so I'm gonna get back to work."
Back to Lola
After she filled up her tank at the nearest gas station, Lola went inside to pay for it when she saw something in the corner of her eye. 'Oh hell ya!' Lola picked up the blood red nail polish with an evil smirk and brought it up to the counter. 'Sammy is gonna get SO pissed when he see's me wearing this! Maybe I should go shopping for some goth clothes, I am goin' to a vampire bar.' "S'cuse me, where is best clothing store?" She asked the clerk after paying and receiving her purchase. The young girl looked at her like she was an idiot.
"Shreveport."
"Thanks ya'll have a great day!" Lola replied with her best Texan cheer and went back out to her car.
After searching for practically hours Lola found a crimson corset top with black off-shoulder straps. To go with that she also managed to locate black booty shorts, oddly in a different store but well worth the distance. To top off her look she got rouge eye-shadow, some new eye-liner, and mascara. She had nearly an hour let to get ready by the time she got home before sundown. So after a quick shower she did her make-up, put on her clothes and pulled on her black cow-girl boots. She had just finished her nails when the door opened.
"Ding-dong" Pam said as she strutted into the house, she smirked when saw what Lola was wearing.
"Howdy Pam, think I'll fit in tonigh'?" Lola asked with a mischievous smile, giving Pam a wink. Pam raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
"I think you'll blend in fairly well, though the boots may be a tad off." Lola frowned and looked down at her boots.
"There my best boots, only wear 'em when I'm going out." Lola grabbed her purse off the table after making sure her nails were dry. Pam lead her out the door, then stood as Lola locked up the house.
"Come on then cowgirl, I'm driving."
'Hope her car has a 'holy-shit' bar.'
(A/N for those of you who don't know what a 'holy-shit' bar is, it's the thing near the roof you grab when you're a passenger in a car during the event when you feel the uncontrollable urge to scream "holy-shit!")
Getting into Pam's pink porche Lola frowns; 'Why do I feel like I forgot something?'
Dun dun dun! What did she forget? Leave your answer in a review, I'll only ask for three but feel free to leave more!
