Just tease the bartender at the Sushi bar then head home [Suspicion: -5 Luck: -10]

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.

"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.

Leah felt the **** hitting her. Her face was warm and she felt a warm sensation between her legs. But she thought about Jonathan and the thoughts were pushed away.

She scribbled her signature on receipt.

"Sorry," she said leaning in sensually "Just the tip tonight." And she handed him the receipt with her tip amount and total. The man was clearly disappointed but he wasn't a sore loser and he gave her a smile.

"Maybe some other time." he grinned as he took the ticket. It wasn't his first rejection and he would have plenty of other ladies to flirt with.

"Ready to go?" Samantha asked returning.

"Yeah girl." Leah said as they headed toward the door.

"We need to get together again! We haven't had a proper girls night out in forever." Samantha urged as they headed toward their cars.

"I know, it's been too long." Leah agreed "We really should."

"And I mean one BEFORE the bachelorette party." Samantha gave her a stare of mock seriousness.

"I know I know. Don't worry we will. I promise." Leah declared. Then the two parted ways.

When Leah came inside the house and dropped off her keys and purse Jonathan entered the kitchen after hearing her.

"You stayed out pretty late. How was Samantha?" He asked eyeing her.

"Oh she was good. We just had to do a lot of catching up. She is planning the bachelorette party and needed help." Leah responded.

"Ah yeah that's right she is the maid of honor." he said moving closer and giving her a kiss. "Speaking of the wedding....How about we practice for the wedding night right now." He pulled her in an kissed her deeply.
