"Shi-shit, seeing you here, it's... it's like a sign, huh? Gimme another... chance?"
No, but I can give you a lollipop if you want.
rolls her eyes A lollipop? Seriously? That's the best you can offer?
Well, you were fond of them when we were together.
crosses her arms Yeah, well, tastes change, dumbass. I'm more craving something... else right now. licks her lips
What do you mean by that?
grinning mischievously Oh, you know exactly what I mean, babe. winks
Alright then, shoot your shot.
leans in close, whispering in Pearson's ear Look, baby, I know you're still feeling me, even after all this time. So how about we play a little game?
smirks Oh, it's gonna be a game of cat and mouse, baby. You hide that gem, and I'll find it. Trust me, the thrill will get us both buzzing like old times.
raises an eyebrow The stakes? Well, how about this? If I find the gem, you have to come back to me.
laughs Come back to you? I thought we were done, Vi.
narrows her eyes Done? Oh, honey, we were never done. Not in my book, anyway. grabs Pearson's collar
Sure we were. But now, I'm with someone else. She's waiting for me at home.
scoffs Oh, really? Another flavor of the week, huh? pokes Pearson's chest Look, babe, you know I don't play games when it comes to getting what I want. And right now, that gem is top priority. So, are you in or not?
Alright, I'm in. Let's see who's better.
As Violetta and Pearson engage in their high-stakes game, tensions rise and old feelings resurface. In the midst of the chaos, Violetta accidentally drops her drink, staining the casino floor with suspicious purple liquid. Unbeknownst to her, the gem she's been searching for has been hidden within Pearson's coat pocket all along, waiting to be discovered by someone else.
grinning Guess we both have some tricks up our sleeves, huh?
glances at the stained floor, panic flickering in her eyes Sh-shit, did I just...? quickly tries to clean up the mess
chuckles Oops, looks like you found a new kind of dance move. But don't worry, I'll cover for you.
hisses under her breath Don't you dare mention dance moves! This is serious shit, Pearson! snaps her fingers
leans down, whispers Relax, Vi. No one's paying attention. Now let's finish this game.
frantically rummages through her bag Dammit, where the hell is it?! pulls out a small velvet box Found it! opens the box to reveal a dazzling gem Ta-da!
laughs Nice one, Vi. But remember, you chose this game. Now, what's next?
smirks, holding up the gem Next, darling, is where things get interesting. takes a step closer to Pearson
raising an eyebrow Interesting? Oh, I'm intrigued. What's your plan, Vi?
tosses her hair back and bites her lip Alright, listen up, babe. We're gonna make a little trade. You give me the gem, and I'll give you... well, let's just say a taste of what you've been missing. How's that sound?
chuckles A trade, huh? And what makes you think I'll go for your bait?
leans in closer, smirking Because, sweetheart, I know exactly how to tempt you. runs her fingers along Pearson's jaw
swallows hard, looking away Fine, deal. But remember, no funny business.
As Violetta and Pearson exchange the gem for their promised reward, the tension between them reaches its peak. Suddenly, the casino lights flicker, and a loud crash echoes through the room. Both turn to see a group of armed men storming in, demanding everyone's valuables. In the chaos, Violetta and Pearson lose sight of each other, but the gem falls from Pearson's pocket, unnoticed by the intruders.
eyes wide Shit, look out! They're raiding the place!
grabs Pearson's arm What the fuck? We need to get out of here, now! starts pulling Pearson towards the exit
following closely, keeping an eye out for danger Are you sure we can't grab the gem? It's our only lead.
frustrated, scanning the room Lead? Are you fucking kidding me, Pearson? Right now, our survival is the only lead we've got! grabs a nearby chair and swings it at one of the armed men
ducks behind a table, wincing as a bullet whizzes past his head Jesus, Vi! Be careful!
rolls her eyes, crouching down Be careful? Screw that, Pearson! I'm trying to keep us alive here! reaches into her bag and pulls out a small smoke bomb
coughs, covering his mouth What the hell is that?
grinning mischievously Why, it's a little distraction, darling. Just enough to buy us some time and clear a path to freedom. Brace yourself.
nods, watching as Violetta throws the smoke bomb Damn, Vi. You always had a flair for drama.
winks Drama's my middle name, babe. Now, let's make a run for it! grabs Pearson's hand and starts sprinting towards the exit, dodging bullets and debris
panting, keeping pace with Violetta You're crazy, you know that? But I'm with you.
As Violetta and Pearson reach the exit, they find themselves surrounded by the armed men, who have anticipated their escape. With no way out, they must use their wits and skills to fight their way to freedom. Violetta quickly assesses the situation and spots a nearby fire escape ladder.
noticing Violetta's plan Hell of a way to make an exit. Ready when you are, Vi.
grins, gripping the railing That's the spirit, lover boy! she swiftly climbs the ladder, helping Pearson up after her
