A blind date for Nancy

“Yeah… yeah, we’re here!” Syd replied to whoever was on the other end, eyes still trained on the large screen, following the game. The other person said something that made the pretty black woman crack a seedy little grin, her pearly white teeth flashing before her eyes flitted over to Nancy, giving her friend a very blatant once-over. “Yeah, she’s here too. Looks fucking hot, you’ll see. Tight jeans to show off that perky booty…”

Nancy opened her mouth, feeling a slight flush rise in her cheeks and she gave her partner a look that was a mixture of exasperation and amusement. Syd caught her glare, which only made her grin widen.

“Yeah, great… we’re sitting in the back. To your right-hand side when you enter. See you then!” with that she hung up and slid her phone back into the inner pocket of her blazer, her attention nonchalantly drawing back to the basketball game. “Oh, come on!” she groaned, throwing her hand up in frustration as her team easily gave the ball away and ran straight into a counter attack.

“Uhm…” Nancy cleared her throat, cocking an eyebrow at her partner, “You want to tell me what all that was about?”

“Huh?!” Syd looked at her with an expression of mock innocence, “Oh, that was Jack Jacobs!” She shrugged before returning back to the tv as if that short sentence was explanation enough.

“Officer Jack Jacobs?” Nancy prodded, honestly confused. “Like, the young guy from work? Tall, slim, brown hair…”

“That’s the one.”

Alright…” Nancy took a swig of beer. “And why the fuck are you discussing my ass with Officer Jacobs?”

Syd grinned. “Because I want him to bury his face all up in there…”

“Excuse me?!” Nancy gasped, shocked by her partner’s bluntness. “What are you, my pimp now?”

The other woman chortled. “If I was, I would have very rough words with you over my lack of income over the last few weeks.”

Eyes narrowing, the Latina leaned in. Syd only glanced at her and smirked at her demeanor. “Oh, give me a break, McKenna. You moved out of Patrick’s house a month ago and I know for a fact you haven’t gotten lucky since then. And I bet the weeks before that the two of you haven’t exactly worked your way through the kama sutra either…”

Opening her mouth, Nancy remained silent. Instead, she felt her blush return a little. Syd wasn’t wrong, it really had been a while. Nonetheless, the audacity of her partner to just arrange something like this behind her back. “Maybe I want some alone time!”

“Maybe… but you don’t. You need to party a little, McKenna. I’m not saying you should rebound and get into a new relationship. Far from it, in fact. What I am saying is you need to get someone to take care of your needs. Some no strings fun.”

“So you picked out Officer Jacobs to do the job?!”

“Yeah, well, I know he can deliver on what you need.”

“Seriously?”

Syd’s grin gleamed. “Yeah. Few weeks back I took young Jack home and convinced myself of his qualifications first hand. You know…” she winked, “quality control.”

“Unbelievable…” Smiling incredulously, Nancy shook her head. “So, what if I don’t want your sloppy seconds?”

“Then I’ll take Jacobs home with me tonight and we’ll find you some other guy to do the deed.” The black woman leaned back, took a sip of beer, obviously very pleased with herself before she added. “… or girl.”

“You’re unbelievable!”

“Funny. Jacobs said the same thing about me…” Syd retorted before perking up. “There he is!”
