Girl Talk (AFD)

[Shade]

Shade put the phone away, leaning across the table in a not too graceful manner. "He thinks I´m drunk." she grinned a cheshire cat grin at Bel.

[Gambit]

"I t'ink so, too," Bella said with a small frown. Wasn't it obvious? It had to be.

[Shade]

Shade straightened up, making sure it looked dignified. "I´m not half as drunk as you are." she stated, pointing at Bel with a finger. That maybe was not too true. Shade´s alcohol tolerance was not really high. Probably they were both around the same level of drunk.

[Gambit]

Bella straightened up, too, folding her arms on her chest. "We'll see 'bout dat," she said confidently. "Anyway! What's de plan?"

[Shade]

Shade gave a shrug, determined to look sober. "I dunno. Gambit´s plan is to take me home, but that sounds like a lame plan." Even though, not necessarily, Shade thought, almost snickering at the thought. "We could either just stay here and wait for him and have fun with his goofed face or we do something else. Like I dunno you hide, I mess with him, excuse myself, then you show up and say we crossed paths. He´ll be chickened."

[Gambit]

"Nuh-uh," Bella said. "He'll jus' drag ya straight away an' all goofing would be over. Nah, we gotta stage somethin'... um, more time-consumin'."

[Shade]

Shade propped her chin in her hand. "You´re doubting my seductive skills?" she asked. "i may be drunk, but I can still get im riled up easily."

[Gambit]

Bella's frown grew deeper. "Don't show off 'ere, girlie," she said. "How would seducin' him help us out?"

[Shade]

Shade gave a wave of her hand. "I was just thinking that we could give him a scare. I get him riled up, then find an excuse to leave and then you step in. That´d give him a scare, he´d wonder what you´d done to me."

[Gambit]

"Hmm," Bella frowned. "He'll get his scare, bien sur... but den he'll jus' kick my ass t' find out what I did to ya. I can't handle him now, really. Dis'll have to be somethin'... hm... less logical."

[Shade]

Shade thought for a moment. An unusually long moment because her thoughts were not exactly trafficing with the usual speed.
"I know something better." she said. "If you cooperate that is. I could tie you up back in one of the rainbow lounge rooms." The idea was forming in her head as she talked, rememberig their earlier conversation. "I could tell him I called him so we could force you to file for divorce. And you could throw a hissy fit that you´ll only do it if he marries me instead. That´s completely unlogical and totally not me and confuse him tons."

[Gambit]

Bella's brows crawled way up her forehead as she listened to it. In her confused state, she couldn't even begin to decide whether any of this made sense or not. "You tie me up?" she repeated. "Eh, kinky. So dat I'm kinda defeated in a fight? How are ya gonna explain it to 'im?"

[Shade]

"Sheesh, that answer was so Gambit." Shade gave back, rolling her eyes. "I dunno, I just tell him you got drunk and didn´t know who I was or something. Pretty close to the real story just minus the ´didn´t know who I was´."

[Gambit]

Bella snorted at Shade's first remark. Of course it was so Gambit. Him and Bel were very similar in many aspects. "Fine," she said, finding logic in Shade's words. She made a playful gesture. "Leeet's go do it before he arrives."

[Shade]

Shade got up, instantly feeling her head spin and she had to grab the side of the table to not lose footing. Damn, she thought. She should not have touched that last cocktail. Or the one before it even. "Come on, this way." she said, pointing roughly at where the rainbow lounge was, resisting the urge to grab Bel by the arm. "What´s your favourite colour?"
