Chapter 2
Waverly couldn't help but stare at the woman in front of her.
«You're the girl from the coffee shop.» Asked the woman. «The one who gave me that cupcake, right?»
«Yep that's her, Waverly.» Answered Wynonna for her. «And I'm the hot barista who served you. My name is Wynonna. The giant carrot cake over here is my girlfriend Haught-pant.»
«Remember me, why am I dating you?» deadpanned Nicole.
«For my top-shelf ass.» Wynonna winked at her girlfriend before turning back to the bartender. «Anyway. The others are Jerbear, the lesbian Veronica Mars, the mad scientist and Mrs.Clean. If you're going to work here you better remember those faces you'll see us often.»
«Well i'm looking forward to it.» The woman looked at Waverly while she said this. «I'm Rosita.»
«Nice to meet you Rosita, let me do the presentation properly, I'm Nicole.» saisd the redhead. «And my friend are Jeremy, Laura, Laf and Perry.»
«Nice to meet all of you. What can I get you?»
«Shots of whiskey !» Immediately answered Wynonna.
«Coming right up.» Rosita turned around to start serving their shots.
«Waves you're drooling.» Jeremy whispered loudly in her heart, making the brunette jump.
«Geez Jer, you scared me.»
«Well if you weren't looking at her like your favorite food maybe you wouldn't have been surprised.» Said Laf. They had a smirk on their face.
«I wasn't!» Defended Waverly.
«Yeah right and I never touch a drop of whiskey.» Snorted her sister. «It's ok Waves, I mean look at her, she's hot.» The older Earp spoke louder and laughed at the shocked wide eyes from her sister.
«Don't speak that loud!»
Before Wynonna could say anything else, Rosita came back with the shots that she placed in front of the friends.
«Here you go.»
«You forget yours and Carm's.» said Wynonna before yelling at the other bartender. «Carm drag your pale ass over here. we're celebrating tonight.»
Carmilla rolled her eyes but walked up to them anyway while Rosita prepared the two other shots.
«What are we celebrating exactly?» Asked Laura.
«Nedley wanted me to be the new chief of the station when he retired.» Says Nicole with a wide smile, dimple in full display.
A round of cheers from her friends erupted, they all stood up to hug her. When they all calmed down, Waverly brought her glass up to toast. «To Nicole.» All of them brought their glass up before droning it.
Wynonna asked for another and Rosita served them again. The rest of the night was spent with laughter and more alcohol. At some point of the night, Jeremy and Laf started talking about science, while Perry made sure they didn't try any experiment while drunk. Laura was at the other side of the bar flirting with Carmilla, and Nicole and Wynonna were dancing in the middle of the bar. Waverly looked at the couple with a small smile on her lips. They were slow dancing in each other's arms, even if the music had nothing to do with slow dance, both too drunk to care. The brunette took out her phone and filmed them, knowing that her sister would complain when she found out but would secretly be happy to have it.
«They are cute together» Waverly turned to face the person who just talked and found herself face to Rosita. She glanced over her shoulder before looking back at the woman.
«They are. They both deserve to be happy, especially Wynonna. After all we went through, she deserves someone always there for her. Other than me.»
«Well for what I can see she has an entire group of people there for her.»
Waverly looked around at all her friends. «You're right we have an amazing little family.»
«How did you guys meet?» Rosita was mixing different drinks while talking.
«Perry and Laf grew up together but we all met in college. Jeremy and Laf were lab partners, Laura and I were in writing class together. Laura and Laf were roommates. Both Wynonna and I worked here so that's how we met Calm and we all hang out here together.»
«And how those two met?» The latina nodded toward the couple behind her.
«Well Wynonna set our kitchen on fire and Nicole was the one responding to the call.»
«That sounds like fanfic.» laugh Rosita.
«If the fanfic is about a girl falling in love with her sister's girlfriend then yes.» Seeing the confused look on the woman's face, she realized what she said. «I'm not in love with her. I mean not anymore but before the two started dating Nicole was my girlfriend.»
Understanding showed on Rosita's face as she continued what she was doing. «I guess it wasn't easy for you.»
«At first no but now I see that they were meant to be together.» Rosita slid the cocktail she made in front of the brunette. «What is it?»
«A cocktail.»
«I see that but why? I didn't ask for it.»
«On the house. Consider it as a thanks for the cupcake. It was amazing by the way.»
Waverly took the glass with a shy smile and a thanks before she took a sip from it. Her eyes went wide when she tasted the drink. «Oh my God it's amazing. What is it?»
«A new cocktail I create.»
«How is it call?»
«I didn't name it yet but I'm considering calling it the Waverly.» The bartender winked at the youngest Earp who blushed and bowed her head to try to hide it.
Waverly was saved from her embrasement by the door of the bar opening violently and the sound of laughter coming in the bar. The brunette turns to see a tall redhead and an as tall brunette man enters the bar. She looked in Carmilla and Laura's direction to see if they realized who just arrived but both were to focus on their own little bubble to notice anything else. The brunette shared a look with her three friends still at the bar. «This is going to be interesting.»
«What will be interesting?» Waverly focuses her attention on Rosita again before answering.
«You'll see.»
As in clue the man started to yell in excitement. «Little hottie!» He started to stumble toward Laura, followed by the tall redhead.
The blonde turned toward the voice and a beaming smile appeared in her face when she saw the man. «Kirsch!» she yelled. Laura was already pretty drunk. She hugged him before turning to face the redhead. «Danny, you're here too!» Laura hugged her too.
«Hey Hollis! How are you?»
«I'm good. We're celebrating!» she cheered. Beer up in the air she yelled, «To Nicole.» and finished her glass. Wynonna cheered from her spot with Nicole and finished her glass too. The redhead laughing at her girlfriend and her friend. «Another Carm please.»
Carmilla had an amused smile on her face as she reached for her glass, brushing her fingers with Laura's. The blonde smiled wider at the contact. «As you wish Creampuff.»
«I think you had enough d'or the night Laura.» said Danny.
«I don't think that's any of your business Xena.» said Carmilla.
«I'm not talking to you vampirella. Mind your own business.»
«Everything in my bar is my business and if you don't like it you can leave. Nobody is holding you.»
Both women glared at each other.
«Who do you think is gonna break first?» asked Jeremy. Jeremy, Laf and Perry had made their way to sit next to Waverly as the five of them watched the interaction between the two women.
«There is nothing to win. They're both grown up women and acted like children.» Said Perry.
«I bet on Danny.» pick up Laf.
«Ten bucks on Carm.» Jeremy is quick to bet.
«Twenty bucks Danny breaks first and asks Laura to leave with her. Laura will say that she wants to stay with Carm.» Play along Waverly.
«It is oddly specific.» remarks Perry.
«Laura is drunk. A drunk Laura is clingy and overly flirty with Carm.»
«Does this happen often?» Ask Rosita.
«Lawrence has had a huge crush on Frosh since college.» answer Laf. «But Frosh and Carm are head over heels into each other.»
«But they're both too afraid to admit their feelings for one another so it's been, what, 3 years now, that they flirt every chance they get?»
«2 years and a half.» Correct Jeremy.
« Shh they're moving.» shush them Laf.
They all turn back to the scene in front of them. Danny rolled her eyes at Carmilla ``Whatever. It's not that great here anyway.» She turns to look at Laura with a charming smile. «Come on Hollis I'll give you a ride home.»
Laura looked between Danny and Carmilla. «What? No! I want to stay. I'm having fun with my friend. Plus Carm can drive me home later.»
Carmilla smirked and winked at the blonde who giggled at that.
«You heard the cutie? She doesn't want to leave.»
Carmilla's smug face made Danny's blood boil but she didn't say anything. She turns around and starts walking up to the door.
«We're leaving?» pouted Kirsch. He turned toward Laura. «Bye little hottie.» he waved as he followed his friend.
«Bye Kirsch!» Laura waved back.
«Pay up.» said Waverly once the two friends were out of the bar. Jeremy and Laf pulled out their wallets with a huff and put twenty dollar each in Waverly's outstretched hand. «Thank you.»
A body fell on her pushing her against the counter. «Sorry baby girl.»
Waverly turned to face her sister and helped her stand up right. «Be careful Wynonna.»
«You're the best sister ever. I love you.»
Waverly chuckled at her drunk sister. «I love you too Nonna.»
«Another whiskey sexy Ro !» Wynonna was louder than necessary but didn't notice.
«Absolutely not. You had enough. Both of you.» She looked pointedly at her sister and the redhead behind her. «You need to start sober up. I'm not dragging your pass out drunk asses in bed again.»
«Boooo you're not fun.»
«And you have to pick up Alice tomorrow.» At the motion of her daughter, Wynonna softened. «That's what I thought. So now you only drink water.»
Wynonna nodded at her sister. «You heard the lady. A glass of water please.»
Rosita asks and the group of friends continue their conversation. Once Nicole and Wynonna sobered enough. They walked out of the bar leaving Waverly behind.
«Well it was a real pleasure to officially meet you Waverley.» Said the latina.
«It really was.» agreed Waverly.
«I hope we can meet again soon.»
«Definitely. Good night Rosita.»
«Good night Waverly.»
The both stood smiling at each other for a moment before Waverly finally left.
