Lahat ng Kabanata ng BURN FOR LOLA: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Maria could die tonight.As this cold realization dawned on Lola Coker, her slender hands trembled and she dropped the little purse she held...for the second time.Maria, her mother who had showered her with nothing but love could pass away in pain, and all of that, because she was too wretchedly broke to come up with a measly twenty thousand dollar fix! How much exactly is a loving mother’s life worth? The busy crowd on the main street soon turned to quick blurs as Lola’s eyes stung with raw tears. Here at work, she had been sure to remain in her lane…never too spectacular, never noticed, never seeking attention. But it no longer mattered… she was going to do what she had to do to save her mother. Even if it meant kissing up to her worst enemy’s uncle’s ass. “Hey, miss! Make it snappy, will you?.” The driver of the cab which she had just alighted from, hissed with a slight hint of impatience in his ragged voice and Lola hurriedly handed the cab fare over. The sound of the vehicle

“Five, minutes!.”“I leave you for five fucking minutes, Lola and you run off to that leech!.” Aria Davis, Lola’s best friend exclaims with a mixture of pure disappointment and dismay written all over her face at her friend’s stubbornness. She had been ten minutes too late and had arrived to see Lola leave the director’s office. Lola shook her head at her friend’s never changing attitude. “I’m okay mother hen, and be careful please!.” She warned, taking a calculative glance at the few people wandering about the hallway before letting out a helpless sigh. “It’s Director Miller… not ‘that leech’.” She corrected in a rushed whisper. Her friend was no fan of the agency’s director, but she did not want them getting into trouble.“Ha! I see..” Aria scoffed sarcastically, flinging her long brunette hair to the back. “Well not to me, Cherie.” She returned. “There’s a good reason why the girls call him ‘the brute’ when he’s not looking. A reason you should have considered before going into tha

Skimpy, Slutty, Short.It was simply miserable that all the words that seemed to come to mind at the state of Lola’s current dress were just as shocking as the style itself. The fabric stopped right underneath her curves, hugging her round buttocks and accentuating her hourglass figure for all to see. It didn't help that the soft padding beneath her bust pushed out the fair tops of her breasts to full view. Feeling the hot gazes of everyone in the room on every revealed inch of her body, Lola’s slender fingers reached for her cleavage to cover as much as she could, but Gavin’s soft laughter from behind forced her hands back to the side.“I cannot wear this out there.” Lola finally spoke up, her voice was croaky like she would burst into tears any second from then. “I look more like a slut than a dancer in this.”The smile on Gavin’s face was slowly replaced with a dissatisfied frown. “It seems like the girl has something to say to me.” He said, his eyes not leaving Lola’s clouded ones

Lola inserted her key and walked in to see Aria pacing about their shared living room restlessly.“Lola!.” Aria exclaimed and rushed to her side. “I was so worried, wanted to know how things were going at your end. Why did you ignore all of my calls?!.”Lola slumped into the living room’s couch, She took a moment to catch her breath then slowly recounted the whole of her experience that evening to Aria.By the time Lola was done, Aria was so riled up that she lunged for the door but Lola pulled her right back in.“That goddamn son of a bitch!. How dare he set you up like that?!. I warned you, Lola. I told you that Brett Miller was a goddamn leech but you would not believe me!. My goodness! You have to take me to that clothing store right away!.”“Calm down Aria. They let me go right away. Besides, you’ve only heard one part of the story.”Aria frowned as she turned to face Lola fully, a worried feeling washed over her. She settled beside her friend on the couch. “What do you mean I’ve

It’s been one week since Maria Coker’s successful surgery and the girls had their lives almost back to normal. Their dance group had a performance on Friday evening and everyone was expected to report to the agency early for practice. Lola and Aria were amongst the first to get to the practice room.Being an hour early had its perks. The girls walked out to the breakfast shop not far from Fame Hall’s building to grab coffee and doughnuts before heading back to the practice room.“So you still haven’t heard from him?”, Aria asked as she fell into step beside Lola. Lola shrugged and bit into the doughnut in her hand. There has been no message from Noah for almost two weeks. It was almost as if their encounter from the previous week had not happened at all. Thinking back, the last two weeks might have been the craziest for her. Raising an amount she couldn’t believe was possible in three days, meeting Noah Sanchez again, and leaving the comforts of her loose joggers and crop tops to dr
