A/N: It's been a while but I'm finally returning with a whole bunch of new ideas and stories. Let's hope I'll be able to keep up the writing this time!
She felt it before she understood the sensation of curled digits cupping her cheek. She had glanced up in confusion – expecting a great deal of other reactions but the one that she had been given. She was not intoxicated, no, not like the other; mostly she was the designated driver for she maintained control and inhibition beyond her youthful years. But she enjoyed time with her friends, even if it was wild times with this particular brunette with a penchant for alcoholic beverages. While Lucy preferred bubbly cocktails with fruity flavours, Cana adored the heady spice of strong liquor, but Lucy knew better than to drink when she was out with solely Cana.
She held her liquor fantastically, but the blonde took on the role of a safety officer, to ensure that Cana did not stray into the path of a moving vehicle with her drunken steps, to ensure that Cana did not wander into the arms of a stranger as she attempted to drown her sorrows and loneliness in booze.
They had their pasts, somehow or another, their paths had intertwined and they collided – a reserved lady and a wild woman. Lucy was intelligent in a way people did not quite expect of a fragile form and small smile, Cana was vulnerable in a way people did not think possible with her loud vox and confidence.

"You are so fucking beautiful, do you know that?"
Was Cana Alberona….flirting with her?
