Sarah
and Roger took a bow as the half dozen patrons who occupied the
tables in front of the stage cheered. The lanky man who had been on
the stage before them let out a wolf whistle as she and Roger walked
off the stage.
“Look
who just came into the bar,” Sarah whispered.
Roger
turned his head toward the door. Rob looked over in their direction
and locked eyes with Sarah. She smiled and waved at him. As she and
Roger walked toward the trio, a man shouted from somewhere in the
bar, “Fun’s over, Bradys’ here.” The bar erupted into
laughter. “You better watch out, he might cuff ya and frisk ya,”
another man shouted.
“Hey,”
Brady said. His eyes darted around the room. “I didn’t expect to
find y’all in a place like this.”
“It
seemed like a nice enough bar,” Sarah said. “We were just
looking for a place to hang out for a bit.”
Rob
made a motion for them to sit at a nearby table. “Oh,” he said,
sitting down. Sarah and Roger took seats beside each other. Moments
later, Shawn and Aura joined them at the table. Shawn set down a
beer in front himself and another in front of Rob. Aura set down a
glass of whiskey before sitting next to Roger.
“Hello
there, my name’s Aura,” she said and winked. She extended a hand
to Roger.
“Hi,
I’m Roger,” he said. They locked eyes and a goofy grin spread
across his face as he shook her hand.
“The
pleasure is all mine I’m sure,” Aura said. She caressed the side
of his face with her fingertips. “Hopefully, we’re not...
interrupting anything here.”
Sarah
felt a pang in her chest as she watched Aura and Roger interact.
What was wrong with her? Since when did she care about who Roger
flirted with?
Sarah
cleared her throat. “Hi Aura, I’m Sarah,” she said.
“How
rude of me,” Aura said and looked at Sarah. “Here I was, flirting
with your boyfriend. You can’t blame me though. He is quite a
feast for the eyes.”
“We’re
not together,” Sarah said. “He’s all yours.”
“Oh?
That’s all right. You two make such a cute couple, I’d hate to
get in the way,” Aura said. She winked at Sarah and picked up her
glass, then stood up and meandered away from the table, toward the
pool tables.
