Chapter 8 - 8

Megan danced with her friends enjoying as the music made her hips move. It had been so long since she had much this much fun. She started regretting that she had almost refused her friends offer to come with them.

Megan is about to lean to Lola to tell her that when she sees someone farmiliar. Her heart began to race when she caught a glimpse of Roman. She only saw his back but she was certain it was. His tall frame and muscular body was something she wouldn't forget easily.

He was with 6 other men who she didn't recognise. She couldn't believe this. She did not expect to see him at a place like this.

"Megan!"

Natty hits her playful, "What the hell are you day drooling for? I asked you a question."

She blinks fast confused, "Sorry?"

"I asked if you wanted another drink." Natty said laughing.

"I was distracted."

"Looking at hot guys. I saw." Natty said shaking her head.

Lola moves closer leaving the guy she was dancing with. The poor guy was confused at her suddenly abandoning him like that. 

"What are you two bitches on about?"

Megan laughs, "Nothing. I was just distracted."

"She was starring at guys that looked like they were mobsters. Like I'm not kidding they looked hot." Natty said also amazed by how good looking the guys were.

"I see our good girl likes bad boys." Teased Lola.

Megan rolled her eyes, "Whatever. I was just looking...now Let's go get more drinks ladies!"

They cheered laughing happily. Megan was glad she was able to distract them and move the conversation away from Roman and his group.

She couldn't help but wonder what he was doing here. She feared he would get into another altercation and get hurt again. She tried to tell herself it wasn't any of his business but she still worried for him.

After drinking for about twenty more minutes Megan excused herself to go to the bathroom. As she walked passed different rooms she saw one which was heavily guarded and immediately knew Who was in there.

"Roman."

As soon as his name left her lips she heard a loud gun shot go off. She is shocked by this and fear fills her body but her body moves towards the door as the men who were guarding it rush inside.

******************************

Apollo raises his gaze to him and he smiles widely. He laughs quietly as he shakes his head lightly, "Now Luther...I'm sure you know very well that you don't own the territory between our area and your area. So why would we have to ask permission from you when our drugs are still being kept in our territory?" He speaks softly and calmly as the man was already irritated and he felt like a heated argument was close at hand.

"I wasn't talking to you kid. I want the actual leader talking!" Luther angrily yelled.

Apollo rolls his eyes and he glares back at Luther. He hates the fact that people don't recognize him even though he was the right-hand man and his anger grows ever slightly as Luther yelled at him. 

Luther glances towards Roman and he wants to see if he's going to intervene or not.

"Roman won't you answer? You are disrespecting me getting your servant involved in grown men business!"

He stares at Luther blankly for a moment and as he stares he realizes that this man is a hot-headed idiot. He is clearly trying to get under their skin and he seems to be an insecure man. Roman sighs to himself and he speaks up. He raises his head and his expression becomes calm and collected as he gazes at Luther.

"Alright fine...I'll answer your questions Luther."

"Then answer my first question!"

Roman sighs silently and he groans slightly as a sign of frustration. He takes a deep breath and he speaks slowly and softly at first. "For one, my brother is not just a servant to me. I respect him and I trust him to handle my business as much as I would. Second...to answer your question... we were not moving any drugs through your territory. We merely used the roads that connect our areas. We took no detours or shortcuts so your territory was not infringed upon in the slightest."

Luther grabs his pistol pointing at him, "If you want war. We will have It!"

Jack who was watching shakes his head, "Now Luther. I thought we agreed no guns in here."

"Roman you move your drugs away from my area or pay up!" Luther warns him.

Roman remains calm and he stares at Luther, his gaze is calm and collected. Roman shakes his head and he sighs deeply. He glances at Luther for a few moments and he doesn't speak for a long time before he finally does. "I don't think you understand the situation Luther. We used the roads. Our drugs did not enter your territory and your area has not been infringed upon. If anything we were staying clear away from your area. So there should be no reason for us to be paying up or moving our drugs away from your area.

"Roman I am not a fool! I know what I'm talking about!" He fired a shot right beside Roman. "Don't play with me!" Luther was drunk and everyone could tell based on his behaviour.

As the bullet ricochets close to his ear. Roman doesn't flinch at all and he stares at Luther as his anger builds slowly. The bullet landed too close to him so he was tempted to draw one of his own weapons but he didn't want this to devolve into a massacre because that would defeat the purpose of the meeting. He lets out a deep breath and he stares at Luther softly. "Are you sure you know what you're talking about?"

His men rush in alerted by the gun shot and weapons are drawn. Luther suddenly falls on the ground completely drunk. Jack chuckles.

"It's okay. It seems our friend Luther is beyond drunk. Sorry Roman." Jack said laughing.

Roman stares at Luther as he falls to the ground and he blinks as he raises an eyebrow. The smell of the alcohol on Luther's breath was obvious and he was clearly far gone. Roman stares at the man with an unimpressed expression and he sighs, "Seems like our meeting with Luther will be short-lived thanks to his drunkenness."

"Roman!" 

He hears a farmiliar call out to him from outside. Megan sounded scared as she called out to him.
