I've decided not to worry too much about pre-Otalia plotline discrepancy as this is an AU after all.

Buddha Bar had a long line of people leading to its entrance. Natalia chewed on her lower lip at the sight, then recalled Olivia's text telling her that her name would be on the guest list so she wouldn't have to queue. She went up to the door bitch and pushed her hair behind her ear while she waited for the woman to look her way, then frowned when the people the door bitch were talking to were turned away from the club. What if she had dressed inappropriately for this place? What if she didn't look good enough? What if...
"Hi, I'm Natalia Rivera. My friend says I'm on on the list?" she asked a tad nervously when the door bitch looked her way, unconsciously preparing herself for the possibility of rejection.
She wasn't used to this. Her name was never on lists--not with such classy establishments anyway. When the woman located her name and nodded for her to enter the club with a brisk smile, Natalia blinked several times, wondering at how much her life had changed in the last few weeks. She felt as though she was on a rollercoaster ride--breathless, adrenalin pumping, occasionally squeezing her eyes shut with fear or anticipation. Most of the time, the ride was going so fast, she wasn't even sure if a dip or climb came next.
She wondered how long it would last before she had to go back to reality.
Natalia unwound the scarf around her neck and removed her jacket. After transferring her cash and cell into her jeans pockets, she checked her scarf and jacket in at the cloakroom. So this was how the rich lived. Being around Olivia should have opened her eyes to this side of the world but that wasn't the case. It was now clear to her just how wrapped up she was in her feelings for Olivia. Natalia took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment to collect herself.
The club was bustling with people but not overly so. Natalia looked at the row of buddha statues lined against a long wall of trickling water in awe. The ostentatious display should have put her off, but instead, she felt herself soothed by the sound of the water and calmed by the expression carved onto the statues' faces. She scanned the club and made her way towards a sectioned off area, spotting Olivia almost immediately.
She realised that she hadn't had many chances to observe Olivia unnoticed. So she requested for a glass of water from the bar at the risk of spending all her money on a single drink, found a spot, and... well, for the lack of a better word, perved.
Olivia wasn't beautiful. She was so much more than that. It was the way she looked at someone, the way the bridge of her nose crinkled when she laughed, the way her full lips curved, either sensually or in amusement. It was the way she moved, the way her legs looked perched on those overpriced heels she so loved wearing...
A jolt shot through her body when Olivia, probably feeling eyes on her, found her in the crowd and looked straight at her. She wasn't sure what expression her face was wearing that very moment but whatever it was, it made Olivia lower her face slightly, hold her gaze with narrowed eyes, and curve her lips up in a predatory smile.
It was the breathless moment of a rollercoaster ride, where everything froze for her.
She watched Olivia set her drink down and make her way down the few steps that led up the elevated platform the private party was held on. Then she raised her glass to her lips and took a sip of water to wet her mouth. Olivia was demonstrating the reason why women wore heels and dresses, and Natalia felt it imperative that she gave her absolute attention.
The floor stretched out between them like the incline of a rollercoaster track. Natalia set her glass down without taking her eyes off of Olivia and pushed herself from the side of the table that she was leaning against. If this club was a room with just the two of them in it, Natalia would have taken her top off by now. Instead, she had to settle for undressing Olivia mentally, letting her gaze caress what she longed to touch with her hands and lips, tongue and teeth.
Olivia came to a stop before her, breathing a tad heavily. Natalia could see the rise and fall of Olivia's chest and it made her swallow. Then she tilted her face back and leaned up to brush their lips together in a warm greeting.
"I know you just got here but after the way you've just undressed me with your eyes, I think we might have to leave before someone kicks us out," Olivia whispered jokingly in Natalia's ear, making her chuckle. Then their eyes met and they shared a smile. Olivia took her hand in hers, led her up the platform, and slipped her arm around her waist after introducing her to Greg and his boyfriend, Paul.
The ride dipped and Natalia found herself falling headlong with it, relishing in the thrilling, stomach flipping sensation that came with being referred to as Olivia's girlfriend.
