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.

	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, 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)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-23 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	Cat showed no signs of needing to slow down. "You doin' all right, there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-23 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Just fine. Gettin' my drunk on." Maria grinned. "Isn't that the objective of the night?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-24 12:10 am UTC (link)
	"Well, make sure you don't overdo it," Cat said. "Cause I ain't getting your drunk ass back home on my bike." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-24 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Please! When was the last time I over did it?" A pause. "Don't answer that." Maria grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-24 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, it's so hard to pick just one..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-24 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	"I haven't had a drunk on like that in a long time. This growing older and being responsible kind of sucks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-24 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	That got a laugh. "You don't have to tell me twice. I'm older 'an you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
