Vala was excited. A road trip with her best pal was just what the doctor called for! She’d thrown together a couple of things into a bag, booked the best apartment she could find and driven over to her best friends. Which is where she was now, top down on the car and waiting after honking her horn.
Faye was rather excited too, she’d been so busy with work and Merle that it felt like she hadn’t stopped in too long. And it felt far too long since she and Vala had gotten any quality bestie time together. But that was about to change.
Hearing the horn she grabbed her bag, locked the door and hurriedly made her way out to the car. “Hey you, how you doing?” she asked as she sat in the passenger seat and threw her bag in the back.
“Great! Can’t wait to get out of this town for a bit,” Vala grinned at her friend, revving the engine and pulling out into the street. Once she got them on the highway she set the cruise control and settled back for a smooth ride. “So how ya been girly?”
“I absolutely agree with that” Faye grinned settling in her own seat to enjoy the ride. “Busy” she answered, “Changed a couple of suppliers, took a few private party bookings and then of course there’s been Merle. What about you? Eventing going well?”
“Oh Merle. How’s he doing these days? You guys still all couple-y?” Vala smiled at her. “Eventing?” she shrugged. “Same old same old you know?”
“He’s still the same old surly horny Merle” she smiled fondly, “Still sickeningly so I’m afraid, we’re almost like domestic and shit except with much more sex than married people have” she laughed. “I dunno, event planning? Is that the better term? Nothing exciting on the books then?”
"Ugh, domestic? Sounds dreadfully dull," Vala teased. "You're acclimating to it then? Domestic bliss? Event planning, most definitely. Eventing makes me sound like I ride," she said. "And I do ride, but not horses," she joked.
“I always thought it would be dull but I’m actually rather enjoying it. Not sure what that says about me” Faye admitted before shrugging, whatever she was happy. “Ah I thought I knew the term from somewhere. Getting a good bit of riding in lately then?”
“Who cares what it makes you? As long as you’re having fun,” Vala shrugged. “Mmm….and it was gooood,” she laughed. “Nolan does like to show a girl a good time,” she winked across at her friend.
Faye nodded, exactly what she thought. There were good reasons she and Vala were best friends and thinking alike was just one of them. Laughing too Faye raised an eyebrow, "Nolan huh? Sounds like Merle and I might not be the only ones heading in the direction of domesticity" she teased.
"I don't think so," Vala made an unsure face. "He's never said he wants anything else from it. To be honest, he's not really said much full stop," she smirked.
That made Faye cackle, "Well he does have his hands full with you, I doubt his mind is on talking. It took Merle a while, he still isn't exactly chatty"
"He does have his hands full, I'll give him that," Vala replied lewdly. "Sometimes it seems he barely makes it through the door and it's all engines go," she grinned. "Not that I'm complaining mind you, because my god is that man well built, but I think I'd like a little more talk sometimes," she shrugged.
“Just start talking” Faye told her, “Ramble, tell him about your day, anything you can think of. That’s what I do, he ignored it to begin with or grunted answers but after a while he started asking how my day was. It’s all about how you work it with guys”
Vala chuckled at that, an image of Merle sat on the couch gruting responses as Faye yammered on about her day. It was a great visual she’d be sure to tease him about when they got back. “How long did it take you to train him to do that then?”
“Not as long as you’d expect. Rewards for good behaviour work really well” she smirked with a wink, “It’s like a nicer version of blackmail” she added laughing.
“Hah!” Vala laughed and hit the steering wheel. “My flies with honey, eh? Ok...I’ll have to give it a try next time Nolan’s round,” she decided, already formulating ideas. “So how about other stuff? Bar doing ok?”
“Let me know how it goes” Faye grinned, “Bar is doing great actually, I’m thinking of closing for a couple of weeks and redecorating. Then I might do a grand re-opening kind of thing but then I think if it’s doing well I should just leave well alone you know?”
Vala shrugged a shoulder. “It depends, are you bored with what it looks like?”
“Not really” Faye said, It’s more like it’s something to do. With things ticking over so well I’m getting kind of restless”
“Oh no! Not restless Faye!” Vala gasped and put a hand to her chest as she pretended to be shocked. “Well, hopefully this weekend will knock some of that restlessness out of you,” she teased. “Is it just the bar that’s making you restless?”
Faye laughed and smacked her friend lightly on the arm, “Hey, no taking the piss” she said with a smile, “I’m sure this weekend will help a lot. And yes it’s just the bar. I’m actually pretty content when I get home”
“No I actually meant these Dreams that people have y’know? You been having any of those?” Vala asked.
"Oh the dreams. I've had a few but they don't really bother me you know? I mean I am pretty cool in them but then I am pretty cool here too" she winked.
“We’re like soul sisters you and I,” Vala grinned. “Cos I’m pretty cool in mine too,” she said proudly.
“It’s only natural” Faye grinned back, “I mean we’re smokin’ hot, talented women here so we had to be pretty kick ass in our dreams too”
“Of course,” Vala shrugged. “I can’t help but pity everyone who’s not us,” she sighed dramatically.
“It must be a heavy burden to bear for them” Faye agreed, “I definitely don’t envy them”
