she hadn’t expected roman to show up tonight , eyes are immediately drawn to the guy behind him ; following him as if he was a puppy . brown eyes will turn to slits as she watches them make their way through the crowd , watches as roman gets his applause from some of the guys that are in tonight . arms are crossed over her chest , lips pursed as she watches them . she’ll talk over her shoulder , something snarky to make the other two laugh . something directed at the two before she’s seeing her own name pushed out of his lips . something in her boils , knowing someone over there has a big mouth . her eyes will connect with his for just a second before he’s tripping over his own two feet , falling into one of the few guys in here that has no limits . she’ll watch with a devilish smile planted on her lips , making her way through the crowd so that she can see into the cage , sitting at her spot she’ll watch intently . watch the sweat drip down his forehead as the other starts to throw punches . she barely gets a chance to hear what he says before their fists start colliding with each other . leads her not to believe him , watching the bigger male spit the blood out onto the floor as everrett had placed a blow right to his face . her face shows no signs of emotion , but she can’t take her eyes off of him . she won’t flinch when the body drops , as the crowd erupts in applause , eyebrows will raise as the second body drops ; roman quickly rushing in to lift him up and walk him out . he’s got the crowd going wild , shit eating grin on romans face says all ; he’s making a buck off him tonight . she’ll watch as roman drags him to a table , splashing him with water and trying to get him to come back to his senses . adrenaline will push through her as her names announced next , alongside a girl whos new , too eager . all talk , when vera knows well enough to know she won’t be landing a single hit on her . she’s setting her drink down , handing a couple of things off to her friends before she’s going in herself . cocky grin spread across her lips .
the other guy goes for his jaw and everett dodges it quickly , kneejerk reaction being a punch to the guy’s gut . it’s a gesture that’s met with a slack jaw and wide eyes , mostly because the punch was more of a defensive move than anything else . ❛ oh , shit . i’m sorry . ❜ everett tries to apologize , but it’s useless because it just makes the guy angrier . it paints a bigger target on his back because chivalry is dead in the ring . that becomes clear once his opponent is trying to tear him apart . everett doesn’t do the worst at defending himself . a couple punches and shoves later and the male is panting with one arm being thrust into the air in victory . but once the stranger drops his arm , the brunet falls to the floor . exhaustion washed over him so suddenly that he had to pass out , soon to be dragged away by roman . it’s not until water is splashed into his face that everett wakes up , barely conscious the moment vera steps into the ring . his face is painted with remnants from the fight : a busted lip , reddened cheeks , a gash above his brow , and blurred vision upon his initial snap back into reality . he is , however , awake enough to witness vera’s fight –– one where she’s left untouched while the other girl could practically be left for dead without a second thought . there’s a brief moment where everett’s gaze catches hers , but everything is so crowded . someone’s pressing a towel to his forehead , another person is icing his trembling fist .
he doesn’t see her again until a party later on . the cut on his forehead has been patched up . there’s no more dried blood on his lip . a bandage is secured around his wrist and fist to keep him from injuring it further . roman said something about it being something worthy of protecting . everett hops onto a stool in front of the bar , eyebrows lifting a bit before he glances at the female . this isn’t his scene . maybe that’s obvious . ❛ you want somethin’ to drink ? ❜ the words are spoken over the muffled music , headache brewing beneath his skull as he glances back to make sure roman wasn’t looking . ❛ everett , by the way . you’re , uh … vera ? ❜
