15 JUNE | ALICIA + BONNIE
“I wouldn’t say that!” Alicia declared as she and the bartender were arguing about the different slopes in Italy. It was futile given that Italy didn't exactly exist where they were now. Even though they could get any wine from any year or anytime, it was still a little bit weird, but fun to argue with someone about wine. The bartender laughed nodding his head as a group of locals came in, Alicia nodded him away and looked back to the glass in front of her taking a sip. It was just at that moment that someone came to sit down next to her. “Is that one any good?” Bonnie asked conversationally as she took the seat next to Alicia. She was coping with Enzo being gone, if not super well, and had decided a part of that had to be getting out and living life. It wasn’t always easy, but Bonnie knew it was what Enzo would have wanted her to do. Glancing over, Alicia smiled. "Bonnie!" She said, "yeah, it's a good, but if you want a recommendation, happy to help!" “Sure, I’m game,” Bonnie answered, smiling at Alicia. “What’s your first recommendation?” Waving over the bartender, she spoke quickly, and before long three bottles of different rosés were placed in front of them. "Okay!" She grinned as three glasses were set in front of each of them, Alicia waved her wand at them making sure they'd keep the wine at the right temperature. "This is a Rosé out of France, typical Provence style, light, summer berry forward, crisp and perfect for a hot day, we'll try it first." She wasted no time pouring it. Bonnie picked up the glass and lifted it to her lips, sipping experimentally as the wine. “Oh, that’s amazing,” she said as she set the glass back down and flashed Alicia a grin. “Thought you might like it, finish that one before moving on,” she nodded. “So, how are things going?” Bonnie picked up the glass again, taking another sip. “They’re going okay,” she said vaguely. Talking about Enzo wasn’t easy for Bonnie, even among friends. She was trying to move on, again, with life without him, but mostly she’d just been distracting herself. “How about you?” she asked. “Anything new and interesting in your life?” "Oh, you know, can't complain," Alicia said shrugging. "I feel like I should have something exciting and juicy, but all I do is work with the team, do the little training things and drink wine lately, very, very exciting life. At least Queen has a nice arse, so Wanda and I are back to having someone around to tease about their arse." Bonnie couldn’t help smirking at that. “I bet it doesn’t hurt having something nice to look at during training sessions,” she teased her friend. Alicia’s magic might be different from hers, but Bonnie felt that kinship with her that she tended to with other witches and it felt nice to sit here, drinking wine and chatting like this. “Tell me about it, Wanda’s brill and all, but Queen likes to show off and he’s rather ripped.” Alicia smirked. “Don’t tell him I said he likes to show off, but come on, the bloke works out without a shirt on and doesn’t think we notice?” “Maybe I need to drop by one of your practices,” Bonnie mused, “for, uh, moral support. I mean, it would be interesting to see you and Wanda working together,” she covered, clearing her throat, but she knew Alicia wasn’t going to be fooled about her real motivation there. "Stop by, say you want to test a spell with our magic, support, and helpful, and get to see the other stuff..." Alicia said with a mischief sort of smirk. "Come on, wine two!" She said pushing the second glass towards here. "This one is a bit of a darker rose, made with Malbec, richer, fuller, tasty." Bonnie just grinned back at her. “Exactly,” she said. She didn’t know Alicia extremely well yet, but she could see they were going to be good friends. Back to business again, she picked up the second glass and made a show of sniffing at it before she took her first sip. “Ohhh,” she hummed as she lifted her lips from the glass. “That’s good. I think you are my official wine guide from now on,” she said with a little laugh before taking another drink. Grinning she smiled, "Always happy to help with wine choices and education!" She meant it too, Alicia was always happy to help in those sorts of things. "You know, Atlantis does seem to have a thing for good looking blokes, I keep thinking we should put together some sort of event to show them all off." She was half joking. "And they can show us ladies off too, or something, just seems there is an opportunity there." “Maybe we need a hotties of Atlantis calendar,” Bonnie teased as she went along with Alicia’s bit. “I wouldn’t mind hanging that on my wall.” Atlantis didn’t really follow years but the days were the same here as what she was used to. “Twelve months of hotness. Who wouldn’t buy that?” Laughing she clapped her hands while shaking her head. "Yes! I think we do need an Atlantis Hotties calendar, just imagine getting some of the blokes to do it, I imagine there would need to be a lot of drinks, and a massive launch party as well." Bonnie grinned again. “It sounds like you have some experience in this area,” she commented before taking a few more sips to finish her glass. "Alright!" Alicia said with a bright grin. "We need to write down our top 24ish blokes here that we want to see on this calendar. Clearly, Oliver Queen is stuck, so who is top of your list?" “Hmmm.” Bonnie thought about it for a moment, trying to think about who she’d noticed since coming to Atlantis. “You think Captain America would do it?” she asked with a grin. “I bet we can talk Damon into it, too.” "Bet we could talk him into it, guilt trip him a bit, in a nice way," she said with a slightly unsure smile. "Damon? He'd probably line up to show himself off. I'd wager we could get Becker in, well, Wanda would have to be the one to talk him into it, Sam doesn't have a choice," she added speaking of her roommate. "What about the Winchesters?" Bonnie smiled at that. “Oh, yeah, we definitely need to get them on board. If Becker’s doing it, we should get Kirk, too.” Shaking her head, she laughed. “I think we’re going to need a bigger calendar,” she said. “We haven’t even talked about all the hot women in Atlantis.” Alicia thought for a moment, “well, we could have teams posing together, sort of mix it up, have themes for the months.” she suggested. “That's not a bad idea,” Bonnie agreed. “I think that actually could be pretty fun. Think they'd go for it?” “I don’t see why not, make it loads of fun, a little racey, I think it’d be loads of fun,” Alicia grinned. “So, who else are we adding to this list?” Bonnie got a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. “Well, I think you and Wanda needs to pose with Oliver if we’re doing teams,” she said. Both women were gorgeous and they’d look good with their team leader. “Who else do you think? Should we do all the teams? We don’t have many more than a dozen.” "Oh yeah, all the teams, but what about people not on teams, because we'd be leaving out sorts like the medical staff, unless we just did a medical staff one? Or people in the bars and such." Alicia gave a thoughtful expression. "And if we do an 15 or 18 month calendar, that works just fine for me." Bonnie nodded her agreement. “Maybe instead of one month for each team, we combine stuff,” she thought aloud. “Or we can put out an open call for volunteers and then figure out how to arrange whoever shows interest.” "That could work, but some people will have to be dragged along, not sure all the good looking blokes will easily go for it, unless we promise food and drinks," Alicia thought out loud. “Bribery works for me,” Bonnie said with a grin. “We can start with volunteers and then bribe some of the people we really want with food or drinks or whatever if they don't sign up on their own. “Some people just will not have a choice,” Alicia added. “Alright, next wine!” |
