Chapter 5: Not a chance
Michael took Lila to a club called Luke's. "It used to belong to my Uncle Luke, but now his son Lucky owns it," Michael explained." Lucky! You in here?"
An elderly man with a cane emerged from the back."You goin' for employee of the month? Your shift doesn't start til' tonight."
"Hey Luke! How's it goin?"
"Well all my parts are still workin' so I can't complain...much. Who's your friend?" he asked nodding towards Lila.
"Oh that's Jason's daughter Lila."
"That so? I was real sorry to hear about your dad. He was always decent to me."
"Thanks," Lila said quietly.
"So the reason we're here Luke, is cause Lila-"
"Luke!!! Where are you?" a voice interupted.
"Damnit woman! Can't a man have a little time to his self now and again?" he yelled back.
A woman with graying red hair appeared. "Don't take that tone of voice with me you miserable old man!"
"Ah darlin'! Have I ever told you how much I like it when you talk dirty to me?" Luke asked with a crooked grin.
Lila was taking this scene in with amusement when Michael interrupted them. "As entertaining as it is to watch the two of you engage in your twisted form of foreplay, Lila needs a job."
"Well then today's your lucky day! You get your very own waitressing gig! You do have some form of experience right?" Luke asked.
"I used to fill in for the waitresses at my dad's restaurant."
"Uh huh. Can you drink a shot?"
Lila raised an eyebrow,"I am my father's daughter."
"Sorry sweet thing I need some proof," He said taking down a bottle of tequilla and pouring some into a shot glass. "Drink up."
Lila walked over to the bar and downed the shot without hesitation.
"Wow you didn't even make a face! Maybe you're a Spencer lost at birth."
"I doubt that," Michael said behind her."If you're done testing her maybe you could let us leave."
"Sure thing. Be here at 8 tonight, Wear a short skirt and you'll get more tips." That comment earned him an elbow in the ribs from the woman.
"C'mon Lila before they start up again."
"Okay now we have to find a place for you to live. Liam's sister Lorelai is looking for someone to share her apartment with, if you want a roomate."
Lila shrugged her shoulders,"I've never lived alone before."
"Cool. Her place is pretty big, and she's the bartender at Luke's so you could catch a ride with her since you don't have a car, Michael said.
"I have a car. It's just in California at the moment."
Michael laughed,"What kinda car is it?"
"69' Mustang. Rebuilt the engine myself,"Lila said smugly.
"You'll let me drive it right?"
Lila nodded her head and answered,"Not a chance."
