Just one more drink at the Sushi bar... [Suspicion: +5]

Samantha gave her a look that said "Probably shouldn't but a free drink is a drink."

"Well if its on the house...." Leah said adding "thanks handsome." Samantha's eyes betrayed her mix of surprise and pride in Leah as she worked the bar. There was also a bit of disappointment on Samantha's face. She was the single one after all...

"One mind eraser coming up!" he said as he found a number of bottles and mixed his concoction like an alchemist in a lab.

"Oh god that sounds strong." Leah said looking at Samantha as if asking for pity.

"You asked for it girl. Ha ha." Samantha shrugged, her eyes looking around the bar for someone to stare at. Samantha wasn't by any means bad looking--but Leah's bust always got her a lot more attention. {if modestsamantha = 100} Even in something that looked like it would be worn to a Parent Teacher Meeting she still got stares. {endif} {if revealingsamantha= 100} And with her revealing attire design it was clear that Samantha didn't have a great chance. {endif} {if slutsamantha = 100} With Leah showing off the "ladies" Samantha didn't have a chance in hell unless there were two bartenders working that night--which there wasn't. {endif}

"Here ya go." he said after he conducted a flourish with his mixer.

"Must be real good with your hands to do all that fancy work just to make a drink?" Leah said as she took the drink from his proffered hand.

"It's part of the job." he said with a grin "But some say I'm a natural. Oh wait." He grabbed for a straw and handed it to her. "You have to suck from the bottom--it lets the liquids hit your tongue in just the right order."

"Oh really?" she asked adding "Are we still talking about drinks here?" Before he could respond she took the short straw in her mouth and sucked the drink down it tasted like coffee, vodka, soda water, and about half a dozen other types of booze mixed in but she wasn't sure--each bar did their own thing.

"Wow just like college." Samantha said giving a little whoop as Leah finished.

"That tasted better than I expected." The bartender said, expecting Leah to nurse the beverage.

"When I start sucking it normally doesn't take long." Leah gave him a sly wink and the two girls giggled, the **** running through their veins keeping their buzz alive.

Samantha continued to catch up with intermittent jokes from the bartender that kept the conversation light and fun. Eventually Samantha called it quits.

"Well Leah I gotta probably get goin'. Its pretty late." she yawned even though it was mostly the few drinks that had made her sleepy.

"Yeah it is a work night." Leah said eyeing her phone and seeing the time.

"I'm going to go to the ladies room first." she said after she laid out cash with a decent tip on the bar.

"I'll go with you." Leah said, her natural pack instinct instilled in her from grade school reemerging.

"Its one of those single bathroom places." Samantha grimaced.

"Oh I gotta close out my tab then." Leah said as Samantha left her as the bartender came over for Leah to sign and tip.

Oh god did I really spend that much? I hope Jonathan doesn't check that on the bank records. Leah grimaced as she saw the bill.

"You know....there is a staff only bathroom too...I'm going to be going there soon. Probably after your friend leaves." he said quietly leaning in close to her.
