Syd waited for her

“Well, look at you, skank!”

Nancy closed her eyes, cursing her luck. She had barely made it three steps into the room when Syd’s voice rang from behind her. Slowly, she turned around to see her partner lean against the wall, two bottles of beer in her hand and a smug grin on her face.

“Would you believe me if I told you we just talked?!” she asked with an embarrassed smile, feeling herself blush once again.

“Sure, McKenna,” Syd scoffed, handing her one of the beers, “Must have been a damn good conversation given the big smile Jacobs had on his face when he just left…”

Nancy took the offered bottle and took a swig. “Yeah, he certainly has a way with words…” Both women looked at each other and giggled, clinking bottles. “What are you doing standing there anyway? Perving on me getting lucky?”

“I would NEVER…” Syd exclaimed in faux-shock, “I saw you two lovebirds head out back and I thought I’d stand guard here and make sure you had the privacy you needed.”

“Great guard you are”, Nancy shook her head before pointing down the hallway to the kitchen door. “A fucking bar worker came out right when we were in the middle of it. We came so close to being caught!”

“You’re kidding!”

“Not kidding. Thank fuck the dude had headphones on and his eyes glued to his phone. That was insanely lucky!”

“Goddamn, McKenna, look at you being a fun night out!” Syd grinned as the two women headed for the exit to finish their beers outside. “You gotta give a girl some details!”

“No way! I don’t kiss and tell!” Nancy shot back, chuckling at her partner’s dismissive scoff. No way she’d share details of this encounter with anyone!
