Girl Talk
"Drinks are on me tonight," Maria said as she leaned back in the chair after grabbing some pretzels from the bowl in the middle of the table. She needed a night to kick back and relax with some female company. So of course she invited Cat. Cat was one of the few of her female friends who could keep up, probably pass for that matter, Maria in drinks. Not to mention she needed the company of a female who has had some of the same life experiences as Maria. Alina and Dinah were good friends, but they weren't ones to walk on the wild side of life.

	Maria smiled. "I still can't believe you're going to get married." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Never figured I'd be the first one neither," Cat agreed. "Though Di might be me down the aisle if she hurries up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Di, I can see getting married. You? Would have never in a million years thought you'd be getting married. If you're happy, I say go for it." A part of Maria envied Di and Cat. They had found men they loved and who genuinely seemed like good guys. Maria unfortunately had the curse of finding the wrong guys. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Surprised me too," Cat admitted. "Especially a guy like Marky. But he makes me happy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria smiled. "Good. He treats you wrong and he'll have to answer to me and Di." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're way scarier than Di," Cat said. "'course, she could wreck his credit rating, so there's that too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well physically I'm scarier than Di, but wounds heal. She could wreck your life for the rest of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, but you have to save some for us," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A girl can hope," Maria said. "So how did you know and when that Mark was The One?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-20 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	Cat took another drink. "Just kinda felt it, really. Can't really explain it. You just... know, is all." Another drink. "But when? Guess I knew pretty quick after we started datin'. Somethin' just clicked. I knew he was special." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-20 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	Maria nodded. "Thanks." She drank more. She was way too sober and she had to stop thinking about Tomas. "So when's the wedding?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-21 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Ain't picked a date yet," Cat confessed. "Keep meanin' too, but life keeps gettin' in the way." She gave Maria a look. "Course, I know you're only askin' so's you can plan the bachelorette party." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-21 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Well duh!" Maria grinned. "Is there anyone else you'd trust to plan your bachelorette party?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-21 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, okay, point," she admitted. She looked for their waitress. "Hey! We need more shots!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-22 03:53 pm UTC (link)
	Maria grinned. "I got it covered." "Yes we do!" Maria said adding her voice to Cat's. "Many more!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-22 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Cat laughed and looked at the already empty drinks. "I'm ahead by two, by the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-22 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Three shots for me and one for her," Maria told the waitress when she came over. "Beers for both of us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-22 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Speakin' of bein' ahead," Cat said, "when am I gonna get you down to the gym for sparring again? You almost lasted three whole rounds last time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-22 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	"It was four rounds," Maria said. "Anytime you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-23 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"Pretty sure it was three." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-23 12:11 am UTC (link)
	"It was four," Maria said before downing a shot. "I know how to count and I'm not that drunk yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-23 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Cat took another shot. "If you say so, hon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-23 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	"I do." Maria did a shot, then followed it with the other two shots. "There. We're even." Her head was swimming. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
