“Oh yeah” Lara cheered.

“What? What is it?” Jeni questioned.

“I’ve been keeping an eye on Sara. She’s been staring this way for the past ten minutes. She even got from her seat and was about to walk over here but her friend stopped her. It’s a good thing too. The woman looked like she was out for blood, ours that is.” Lara happily informed.

“I apologize ladies. I did not mean for Sara’s ire to fall upon the both of you.”

“Are you kidding its perfect.” Lara added as she busily worked behind the bar. While watching their table Lara noticed that their drinks was getting low and that they were in need of a refill soon.

“You don’t understand Lady Lara. Sara is….”

“Jealous. She’s reacting just the way we thought she would, Ian.” Jeni chimed in. She continued seeing Ian’s confused expression. “We’ve got her full attention and the fact that she may have wanted to come over her and kick our asses well it showed that she didn’t like us,” Jeni pointed between Lara and herself, “Flirting with you. So you see everything is working out just as planned.”

“But how could you be so sure…”

“Ian trust us. We’re women. We know things, okay.” Jeni stated.

“Drinks up, Jeni.” Lara yelled from the bar. Jeni’s tray filled and ready to go. She walked over, a perplexed expression on her face. “I’m not serving a table right now.”

“Oh yes you are. Table 11. Drinks look low and it’s a great opportunity for a reconnaissance. You know get some intel, valued info, and perhaps you can recruit some allies behind enemy lines.” Lara wiggled her eyebrows up and down. Obviously enjoying the moment.

“You’ve been watching too much James Bond again, haven’t you?” Jeni questioned, narrowing her eyes.

“Hey don’t be knocking on Bond,” Lara paused arching her eyebrow, her voice becoming lower as she tried her best impersonation of the fictitious character, “James…Bond.”

“Oh brother,” Jeni sighed as she rolled her eyes. “Whatever, but why do I have to go?” She whined.

“Because I went the last time and its my turn to spend some time with sexy here. Don’t make me quote Austin Powers next.” Lara warned.

“Alright, alright I’m going. Sheesh.” Jeni picked up her full tray, “I’ll be back in a few, R.”

“Hey that’s ‘Q’!” Lara corrected.

“Whatever!” Jeni yelled over her shoulder.

Lara turned to Ian, “So how are you feeling?” Remembering their earlier drinking ‘lesson’. His cheeks were a bit flushed, his posture more relaxed then before, and in those eyes was a sense of serenity. None of the seriousness that noramlly occupied them. The fear was still there but it was quickly fading. However the hurt remained. But that was something Ian had to handle himself. No amount of alcohol was going to help him.

“I feel good. So what is next?” he asked.

Lara began rubbing her hands together, a big grin on her face. Ian waited anxiously for Lara to speak. “Now is your moment of truth, Ian. First we’ll give Jeni a few moments then you’re going over there.”

Ian began shaking his head, feverishly protesting, “No, I’m not ready to talk to Lady Sara. Perhaps another drink would be best.” Ian exclaimed.

“No. Trust me when it comes to alcohol too much is not a good thing. And since this is your first time we don’t need you hurling all over Sara. Not a very lovely way to impress the woman of your dreams. Besides we want you to be relaxed not loose. May be later but for now we need to move on with the next step.” Ian began shaking his head no.

Lara grabbed his hands gently squeezing them. “Relax big guy breath a little here, okay?” Ian nodded as he inhaled then exhaled. “There is nothing for you to be nervous about.” Ian gave her that ‘easy for you to say’ look but Lara ignored it. “Any way, Jeni is going to be right there with you. If she senses that you need some help, she’ll jump right in. Besides,” Ian intently listened, “I never mentioned that you were going over there to talk TO Sara.” An evil grin quickly spreading across Lara’s face. Ian leaned in closely as she gave him a run down on what she wanted him to do, “Okay here is what you are going to do first...”

“Its not a hard question, Sara.”

“Yeah Pez, would you just spill. It’s obvious that you like the guy, I mean no woman would have reacted the way you did with someone they don’t like. What we want to know is how much do you like Ian Nottingham? So would you cop already.” Vicki insisted.

Sara sat there staring between her two friends. Did she like Nottingham? Yes or no. Her mind was telling her no while her heart was telling her something else. Even the Witchblade got in on action. Showing her brief flashes of past lives with a person who very much resembled the man in question. This time the visions were not so vague but aberrantly forward and simple. I mean how forward can one get when the images was of her and him in bed, together. Doing everything but sleeping. Talk about a portable porn flick. Sara closed her eyes willing the images away.

Vicki and Lee waited for an answer but was interrupted when Jeni returned, “Here you go ladies. Fresh drinks courtesy of Mr. Nottingham.” She placed the tray down on the table.

Grateful for the interruption Sara opened her eyes and rudely mumbled, “Bout time.”

“What was that, Hon?” Jeni asked as she switched out empty glasses. ‘Hm, sounds like someone IS jealous.’ She thought.

“Nothing.” Sara replied, ignoring the disapproving looks from Vicki and Lee.

“So are you ladies enjoying yourselves?”

“Yes we are but not as much as you and your friend over there.” Vicki answered. “You ladies do some quick work. What’s your secret?”

Jeni devilishly grinned and said, “Well a guy like that you can’t keep him WAITING for too long. I mean you’ll never KNOW when some OTHER WOMEN might be INTERESTED. Then without knowing they could STEAL him right from UNDER YOUR NOSE. Then you’re left with NOTHING.” Jeni slowly enunciating each word making sure Sara was carefully listening.

“I know what you mean, Jeni. That’s the kind of man you’d want to hold onto tightly.” Lee added.

“I definitely agree. What about you Pez? Do you agree?” Vicki inquired.

Jeni smiled to herself. ‘Looks like Lara and I aren’t the only ones pushing.’ She thought as Sara sat there silently listening. One final shove would do the trick, pushing her off that high chair of hers. Falling straight down into the awaiting arms of Ian Nottingham. Jeni contemplated what to do next when the man himself showed up at the table. Confused Jeni looked over at the bar, Lara winked and gave the okay signal. Perhaps Ian was going do the honors himself and give Sara that last shove.
