Land Of Mara: Chapter 0 - Veronica and Nathan | Part 3 Secrets
"Tell me why you brought me here again." Franklin asked Nathan "and does it have anything with that mysterious girl you've been seeing?" Nathan replied with a smile "Yes actually, were decided to introduce our friends to each other." as they stood in a popular bar and grill restaurant and as they looked around there was Veronica and Cindy sitting at a booth across from each other waving at the boys to come over. "glad you two could make it!" Veronica said loud enough be heard clearly even with the packed tables "whos jolly green?" Cindy asked as Nathan sat next to Veronica "Thats my best friend, he's like a brother to me." Franklin stuck his hand toward Cindy expecting a handshake "Franklin, pleasure." but Cindy looked at his hands covered in dirt and then back at him "you couldn't have at least washed your hands?" and puzzled Franklin honestly says "well no, I'm not eatin with my hands now am i?" Cindy slinks further back while smiling but only to be kind and veronica tries to spring up "how bou-" she gets out before knocking into the table and being forced to sit back down "woops, anyway. how bout you and i swap places Frank." Franklin shrugs "sure" and the three except Cindy shuffle to all get seated. Once a waitress and was about to take their order a tall blonde guy who was dressed in expensive suit and accessories walked over to the table interrupting her "Hello there Nathan and company" he quickly looks the waitress up and down "and hello beautiful" though disgusted she manages to excuse herself and walks away but not before the well dressed man exclaims "hate to see you leave but love to watch you go." after the waitress who was walking away moves her plate she carried around to block her butt and Nathan speaks up with an exhausted tone "What do you want Bryson?" "oh am I not allowed to talk with a good.... 'chum' like you" Bryson replied in a mocking tone and Franklin stands up fast to the formers face "Now how 'bout you walk on out of here." and with a smug look on his face like he knows something Bryson says "Oh i'll be sure to leave you alone if thats what you want" there is a moment of silence before Franklin sits back down "Thats what I thought, now why dont you introduce me to beauty and the beast here." Bryson gestures to Cindy and Veronica and without missing a beat Cindy flatly replies with "How about I season the fruit salad with my pepper spray." annoyed Bryson tosses 2 envelopes and says before leaving "Thought you two would want this now, come see me if you want to discuss more." after an uncomfortable silence Veronica speaks up "What was that about?" just then Franklin and Nathan look away from the envelopes and each other before "Lets just drop it." they take their respective envelopes and a waiter comes and asks "So... are we ready to order or do you need another minute?"
