No Sides
"Hey, Ruby."
"Hey, Mare what can I get you?" The waitress asked her friend who at twenty-one looked like she could use one.
"Aww Ruby." Mary-Margaret propped herself up against the bar of "Granny's" all heartbreak and smiles in a Fuchsia cardigan, floral skirt and accompanying blush flats.
"Whale being a D…?"
"RUBY!"
"Well is he?"
"Yeah I ditched his ass when he refused to pay for the second date in a row."
"Tight fisted bastard!" The feisty brunette declared while pouring the aspiring teacher a generous shot of amber whisky. "What did he say at his dumping?"
"Far too busy looking at Regina's ass to care." "I'm certain she'll pay the bill though, seem as he'll be under her by the end of the night."
"OOH BANDIT BITCH IS BACK. Here we have to celebrate this momentous occasion!"
Seconds later a shot of whiskey is before her.
"On us."
"Ruby I can't." Mary-Margaret protested shaking her head and pushing the glass back.
"Granny won't care. This place has been like a wasteland lately."
"Jesus. Ruby will you just take my damn money!" Mary-Margaret shouted while getting the ten dollar bill from her purse and shoving it in her friend's direction.
"I need someone to want something from me tonight."
"Okay, here!" Ruby smiled as the brunette gratefully took her fought and purchased drink.
"Cheers!" Mary-Margaret said solemnly before downing the liquid in one go.
"God. I'm going to be alone forever aren't I?"
"I don't think so." Ruby said with a mischievous glint in her eye. "What can I get you?" She asked the new customer. "Oh."
A moment later Ruby placed another whisky in front of a perplexed Mary-Margaret.
"Ruby, I told you." She gave a frustrated smirk to the waitress.
"That wasn't me."
"Then who?"
Ruby signalled to the man who was perched two seats away. "Tall, blonde and Chaarming over there." She swooned darkly before whispering.
"Look's like somebody wants you."
"Hi." The drop- dead gorgeous David Nolan said.
"Hi."
And just like that Mary-Margaret knew her night just got a hell of a lot better.
