Re: AT THE BAR--for now..? (Vanessa)
Vanessa laughed as he mentioned the beautiful radiant redhead. She wondered why Idris had mentioned her at all, if it was the liquor slipping it out, if he wished to create drama, or if he had simply wanted to talk to her about it like he would anyone. The last seemed highly unlikely and Vanessa assumed that it was actually a mixture of all three. Whatever Idris's reason for talking about the woman, Vanessa's reaction didn't surprise her, but she wondered if it surprised him. She certainly found Idris attractive and would go on a date with him if he asked her out; there was even a time where she would've daringly asked him if he wanted to go out sometime on a date, but for some reason, she never did. Vanessa blamed it on that strange feeling when she was with him, and tonight as they drank, even though it had only been for a very short time, she felt more and more like friends, possibly even sisterly, and it felt a bit weird to see him in a different light (even though she still did). Besides, there had been that... thing with Richard, even though she doubted anything would come from it.
She took her legs off of Idris's stool as she laughed, running a white high heel gently over his leg a bit. "Good for you," she had laughed for some reason, but she was genuine, and she hoped her face showed it. Vanessa ordered a shot of tequila from the bartender. The alcohol in her system stopped her from thinking about her words before she said them, that or she just didn't care to. "So a redhead huh? Do the carpets match the drapes?" Vanessa licked the back of her hand with a wicked smirk, shaking salt onto it. Quickly she tossed back the tequila shot and sucked on the lime.
