Laurent felt annoyed with Larry about flirting with Honey during their studio session. The beautiful woman's voice on their song turned out as the perfect addition. Just like Swissco said, the echo of her sultry voice on top of Larry's vocals made the song come alive. The finished song held all the elements needed for the sound they were looking for, a sexy sound, the perfect beat to dance to and fire lyrics.

Dinner started off with an intense conversation about the studio session once they left Swissco's home going on their date. Laurent took his time looking over the menu thinking of Larry's advances toward the attractive singer. While Larry had busied himself getting to know her, Honey's eyes stayed focused on Laurent. The cozy nature of Larry's flirtation wasn't reciprocated by the woman. He noticed that while Larry kept busy staring at her ass, she couldn't stop staring at Laurent.
"Are you ready to order? I'm so hungry," Larry asked waiting for a response. Laurent ignored him for a while as punishment. Larry's impatience grew short. "Lau! Didn't you hear me?" Laurent finally waved over a waiter carefully going over every picky detail about how he wanted his steak cooked. Larry interrupted them to place his order. Laurent slammed his menu on the table. "I'm not finished!" He yelled. When the waiter asked if they needed more time, they responded in unison, "No!"
The waiter watched them arguing like a tennis match going back and forth. It took a while, but they finally made their choices. The waiter escaped disappearing into the back of the restaurant happy to get away from the tension at their table. The packed place was filled with L.A.'s elite socialites. The candlelight at their table cast a romantic glow on two men who glared at each other across the table. Larry took charge of the situation trying to offer his brother a compliment.
"I like the way the song turned out. Your verse is fire bro. I love it."
"Yeah, oki. If you practiced your English more, we wouldn't need Honey on the song."
"Why you always hating on me? I like her voice on the song. Don't you like it?"
"I like the way it turned out, but I hope you don't plan on using her on all of our songs."
"I know that we need to get finished so we can get back to London. I want to get home and see my daughters."
"You know it's not always about you. There are a lot of opportunities in L.A. I miss my nieces too, but we...I mean, you have things to figure out."
They both swiveled their heads looking around the restaurant in case anyone was listening nearby. The waiter came with their drinks and appetizers, but Larry ordered a double shot of Hennessy too. Laurent's facial expression showed his displeasure with his twin ordering alcohol.
"You don't even drink. What are you doing?" Larry waved off his comment. "Maybe it's your turn to take care of me. You are stressing me out and I wanna drink."
