“So let me get this straight, while Sara and I were in the ladies room, Damien made a pass at you. Things got a little out of hand when Lara and you told him to leave. Then, wait was it Nottingham?” Lee asked Sara who nodded her head. “Okay so Nottingham stepped in before anything worse happened, am I right?”

“That’s pretty much the gist of it, Lee. So you see Pez, it wasn’t Nottingham’s fault it was Damien. The only thing Nottingham did was come to my rescue.”

Sara buried her face into her hand, “I feel like such a bitch.”

“Yeah well you should, Pez. I mean you nearly bit the guy’s head off. The famous Pezzini Fury rear its ugly head once again.” Vicki said.

“Thanks for rubbing it in Vick. I already feel bad enough.” Sara closed her eyes, rubbing the side of her temple. She could feel the twinges of a headache coming on. Vicki ignored Sara’s protest and continued to twist the proverbial knife. “I mean if that waitress, Lara hadn’t butt in I think you might have succeeded.” Sara groaned from behind her hand.

“Vicki would you stop Sara already feels bad about what happened.”

“Thank you, Lee.” Sara leaned against the table with both arms.

“Though you really should watch that temper of yours, Sara. I mean Nottingham looked like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming car.” Lee added. Sara groaned, dropping her head onto her arms. Vicki stared to laugh.

“Excuse me ladies here you go. I apologize for the long wait.” The group looked up to see Lara with their drinks. She laid the tray down on top of the table. Lara quickly placed the drinks around the table. Sara noticed that she was avoiding making eye contact with her. After she had finished Lara started to walk off but stopped in mid-step. She turned around and moved over to Sara.

“Ah, Detective Pezzini, I, uh,” Lara was having a hard time coming up with the words. Finally, she took a deep breath and exhaled. “I wanted to apologize for my outburst earlier. I had no right to yell at you like that. I mean…”

“You really don’t have to apologize, Lara. My temper tends to get a little out of hand.”

Vicki nearly choked on her drink as she tried hard not to laugh aloud. Lee reached over and patted Vicki’s back. She too was trying hard not to laugh. Sara narrowed her eyes on both of them.

“Okay, okay, I have a bad temper I admit. I guess what I’m trying to say….”

Lara interrupted what ever Sara was going to say, “Look Detective,”

Sara raised her hand, “Please call me Sara.”

“Alright Sara. Fact still remains I yelled at you when I had no right to. Nevertheless, if you are going to apologize them I’m not the person you should be talking to.” Lara pointed at Ian standing at the end of he bar who was talking to Jeni. Sara grinned and nodded her head. With that Lara was about to leave but Lee stopped her.

“Wait, could you thank Mr. Nottingham for buying us our drinks.”

“Sure I’ll pass that along to him.” Lara turned around and started walking but was stopped this time by Sara.

“Wait! Wait! Are you telling me that Nottingham was responsible for buying us the drinks? He was the guy that you were talking to earlier before you brought over the champagne?” Lara nodded her head. Sara’s mouth dropped open and her eyes widen.

Lee reached over and grabbed Sara’s hand, “Yes, Sara. Nottingham is Mr. Ass.” Vicki nearly spat out the champagne she was drinking. Sara was in complete shock and the color was rapidly rising. Lara covered her amused smirk with her tray. ‘Oh, Ian needs to hear this.’ She thought and quickly walked back to the bar.

Vicki catiously placed the glass back on the table, she felt that it wasn’t safe for her to take another sip. Afraid that the next time she would either choke on the contents or spit them out. After a brief moment she finally spoke up, “Mr. Ass?” Vicki started at Lee.

“What? That’s what Sara called him not me.”

Vicki turned to Sara who, even in this light, was blushing. “Sara please do explain.”

“I, I, that’s what I called him. Lee told me the guy responsible for buying us the drinks was standing at the bar. So I turned around and got a view of his backside but I didn’t get the chance to see who he really was. I didn’t realize it was Nottingham.” Sara stared down at her drink, still surprised. “Nottingham?” She sounded utterly dumbfounded.

“Why do you look so shocked, Pez?”

“Because Vicki this is Nottingham we’re talking about. I mean I just never looked at him that way.”

Vicki and Lee exchanged confused looks then they both said, “What way?”

“You know the way you look at Danny, Lee. Or Vicki the way you look at handsome corps.” Sara grinned as Vicki flipped her the middle finger.

“Why wouldn’t you look at him that way? I mean the man is gorgeous. I’m surprised you haven’t jumped his bones yet. I know I wanted to when I seen him that first time.”

“Its complicated Vicki. You don’t know him like I do.”

“Oh do tell.”

“Vick remember I told you about him. Psychotic, bipolar, he’s a freak Vicki.”

“Sounds like your type, Pez.

“Nottingham is NOT my type, Vicki!” Sara vehemently replied.

“Oh right so he’s not,” Vicki began listing off Sara’s type, “The nocturnal, tattooed, multi-pierced, bad bay you’ve been dreaming about?”

Ironically, Nottingham fit Vicki’s description to the ‘T’. But Sara still wasn’t going to admit it to herself let alone Vicki.

“No he’s not. Now will you drop the idea that I’m attracted to Nottingham, okay?” Sara answered.

“Fine, I guess denial isn’t just a river in Egypt.” Vicki said just before taking a sip of her drink.

Sara raised her eyebrow, “Victoria Po, I’m warning you.” Vicki held up her hand in mock surrender and continued to drink.

Sara caught Lee looking at her. Her lips pursed, and eyes narrowed. Lee was actually studying Sara.

“What?” Sara asked.

“Huh?” Lee brows rose as she snapped out of her thoughts. “Oh, its nothing, Sara.” She waved it off. She turned her attention to the dance floor.

“Spill it Woo.” Sara demanded.

“Spill what, Sara? What makes you think I have anything to say?” Lee innocently smiled.

Sara rolled her eyes, “Because I know that look. And don’t say ‘what look’ you and Danny have that same expression. You got something on your mind, you want to tell me but you won’t. Danny pulls that shit on me. Now cut the crap and cop.” Sara waited.

Lee spared Vicki a sidelong glance. Vicki only shrugged her shoulders and continued to drink. “Alright Sara but remember you asked for it.” Lee sighed and continued on, “I was just thinking about your behavior towards, Nottingham.”

“Behavior? Lee, Pez gave the guy attitude and nearly ripped him a new one.” Vicki interjected.

“Vicki!” Both Sara and Lee admonished.

“Sorry, please continue Mrs. Woo.” Vicki apologized and as she sat back, she looked over to the bar. A grin crossed her face as she eyed Nottingham. ‘How can Pez not be attracted to that?’ She thought. Vicki’s eyes narrowed, it was obvious that something was going on. ‘Wonder what they could be talking about?’ Vicki’s inquisitive mind began to run.
