Bartender- Part One
Rating: M
Pairing: Mo/Rach, hints of KiGo
Summary: Monique and Kim convince Shego to take them to the new bar down the street, where her friend works. When sparks (Eventually) fly, Mo has to decide whether or not to go after what she wants. The thing is though, she doesn't know what she wants. And the brunette bartender isn't helping.
A/N: Thought Mo and Rach needed their own spot light. Especially after all the crap I put them through in the other stories.
Don't own the show. Pointless to sue, don't got money.
Enjoy. ^^
"Yo! Bartender, another round!"
Rachel stopped wiping down a portion of the bar and glanced down towards the end of it, looking at the man who shouted. He had been taking shots with his friends for the last hour and a half, and was really starting to annoy her. They all had decided to take a shot each time someone had reviled something good about their lives. Now, that wasn't what bothered her so much. No, it was the fact that he was drunker then the rest of them, and raised his voice louder every time he called out to her.
With a sigh and a soft pinch between her eyes, she grabbed the bottle of tequila they had been drinking and walked down to refill their shot glasses.
"What took you so long?" The man bellowed, his voice slurred by the amount of alcohol in his system.
Rachel chose to ignore the man and went back to wiping down the counter. The bar was packed, but most chose to sit at the tables, unless they were alone; then they would come up to the bar and order something. Those were usually the ones that had just broken up with a significant other that day. Rachel had been known to listen to anyone's problems, let people confined in her what they wouldn't in others. It was what had gotten her so much business when she had set up shop here.
"Yo, Rach."
Rachel looked up and frowned, "Sai?" She mumbled, looking at her high school friend; who had her arm thrown around a redhead's shoulders.
Shego growled, "I hate that name."
"And I hate the one you use now." Rachel retorted, a slight smirk on her lips, "Who?" She asked, gesturing to the redhead and the other behind her.
"Kim Possible and her friend Monique."
"And why are you bringing them into a bar? Hoping for a thr-"
"Finish that sentence and you can kiss your place good-bye." Shego stated as all three of them sat down, "Kimmie used her freaking 'look' on me and convinced me to bring them here."
Rachel looked at Kim, "What did you threaten her with?"
"No sex for a month."
"Ah, that would work." Rachel said, a laugh breaking loose as Shego growled. She glanced at Monique and smiled a greeting as she got Shego's preferred drink out, "So what would you like?"
Kim and Monique shared a glance and shrugged, "Surprise us." They said together.
Rachel nodded and started mixing a drink together. After she poured them each a glass, she went back to wiping the counters again, keeping close to Shego so they could catch up.
~o0o~
Monique sat and watched Rachel working with a thoughtful look. They had been there for a couple of hours now, and Kim had dragged Shego off to go dance. The place was a combination of a bar, a night club, and maybe even a restaurant by the looks of it.
She didn't let her mind dwell on that for too long though, and returned her thoughts to the brunette behind the bar. Her eyes were a nice mix between blue and green, and even seemed to have a bit of violet in them as well. They would flicker back and forth through the bar, watching the occupants with blank interest. Every so often they would move to look at her and Monique could see the other woman smile slightly at her; as if she was happy to see that Monique was unharmed.
She shook it off to Rachel not wanting anything to happen in the bar and went back to her silent mussing, sipping on her fruity drink every so often. She was so into her thoughts that she didn't see Rachel walking back over to her.
"Hello?"
"Huh?" Monique asked, looking Rachel in the eyes.
"I asked if you were ok. You looked out of it for a minute..." Rachel looked at her drink thoughtfully, "Should I make something else for you?"
"No this is good." Monique responded, smiling slightly, "I was just wondering how you knew Shego?"
"Since high school. She was a friend of one of my ex."
"Then why are you friends if you only knew each other through someone?"
"Double dates." Rachel responded, holding back the bite in her tone. She didn't like venturing into her past too much.
"Ah, sorry." Monique said, "Personal. Don't ask again. Got it."
Rachel frowned slightly in surprise, "How...?"
"You might be able to control your voice, but your eyes give you away."
Rachel nodded, "How long have they been together?" She asked, gesturing to the couple dancing still.
"Nearly a year. Though Shego still works for... Um, Drakken, was his name, I think."
Rachel nodded, "Slowly easing out of it?"
"And helping Kim." Monique added, grinning slightly; as if it was funny to see the green skinned woman fighting crime instead of comitting it.
Rachel laughed softly, shaking her head, "That's Sai for you."
"Sai?"
"Nickname. Another personal. Though Kim might know it by now."
Monique nodded, "Do you own the bar?"
"And run most of it myself." Rachel responded, grabbing a bottle of water and taking a drink. She glanced over to the dance floor for a second before looking back, "I think their ready to leave."
Monique glanced over to them as well, "Yeah. See ya." She reached into her purse to pay when she saw Rachel shake her head.
"On the house. Now go before Sai gets pissed."
Monique nodded and walked over to her friend before they headed for the door. She glanced back at Rachel and saw the older woman smiling softly at her, waving slightly before she went about cleaning the area where they had sat. As Monique got ready for bed later that night, her thoughts trailed off towards the other woman and she couldn't stop the smile that formed as she fell asleep.
A/N: Cappy way to end it, but I'm a tired and want to get a bit of sleep before I have to get up again. It's just basically getting the background of how they met all set up.
Hope you enjoyed. ^^
