Summer Lovin'

Chapter 1: Girls Night!

New York City, NY

A dressed up Regina sat at the bar of a rather loud and obnoxious bar that her best friend Kathryn had invite her out too. She became bored of waiting since it had been about fifteen minutes since she last looked at her watch. Regina deeply sighed as she swirled her half empty of cup of whiskey around. Thinking to herself why she even bothered coming out tonight was beyond her considering the fact she had already been hit on by a couple sleezy drunks. What she wouldn't have killed to go home already and be with her son right now.

She curled her lips around the cup while rolling her eyes looking down at the phone seeing how Kathryn was her usual irresponsible self whom never calls to let her know what was going on.

Just as she was about to pick up the phone to call and yell at her, Kathryn's surprised her from behind and stood there staring at Regina as her blue-green eyes traced Regina's body up and down. "Wow aren't you looking good!" she teased as she leaned in for a hug and peck on the cheek.

"I would have been even better had you shown up on time", she hissed, "Where have you been anyways? I have been sitting here waiting for you for almost twenty minutes while getting hit on by scum with no one to help back me up."

Kathryn just giggled at her friends remark. She always loved seeing Regina get fiesty with her it was amusing every time. "I'm so sorry Regina" she then signaled for the bartender to get her a glass of whiskey. "I got caught in the traffic, plus I couldn't pick out a good enough outfit. I mean god, I have to look as good as you!" she said jokingly.

This did not amuse Regina at all she raised an eyebrow while keeping her temper down from the annoyance of her friend. This was so typical of Kathryn yet Regina never seemed to get used to it. "Uh huh." she hummed. "And you did not think to call or text me about your whereabouts?"

"Yeah well, about that." Kathryn paused to take a drink of her whiskey. "I couldn't find my phone and I think I left it in Frederick's car." she smiled feeling embarrassed.

Regina rubbed her forehead while laughing at her ditzy friend. "Oh Kathryn, what am I to do with you?"

"Maybe keep me around for another thirty years I might amaze you!" she giggled before becoming a bit more serious. "So Regina."

Regina's ears rang catching the tone in Kathryn's voice. "So Kathryn?"

With a deep breath, "Regina, I was thinking that you, me, Henry, and your mother take a vacation in Miami for the summer."

Regina blinked repeatedly while trying to wrap her head around the absurd idea. "First of all why, and second what about Frederick?"

She shook her head, "Frederick wouldn't be able to because of work but the rest of us can because your sister and brother in law can easily manage the bed and breakfast while you guys are away! Why I ask, because I think you need a vacation and get out of New York, because I'm sorry sweetie you are not as much fun as you were back in college."

Regina took a drink while trying to swallow her rage,"Okay I would not ever trust my sister and her half witted husband to watch over the bed and breakfast for two months. Also, I'm sorry excuse me, but I do happen to have a five year old at home." her dark chocolate brown eyes peered right through Kathryn giving her shivers.

Kathryn shook her head while flailing her hands around in front of her. "Look I didn't mean it like that and you know it. I just mean, maybe the beach would be able to loosen you up and maybe help you find a man considering the fact that Henry's supposed father is a deadbeat who left you."

At this point, Kathryn was beginning to regret even making the suggestion.

Regina held her tongue as she bit her bottom lip as hard as possible before chugging down an entire glass of whiskey that the bartender had placed in front of her.

She exhaled slowly while her eyes sharply pierced into Kathryn's. "I'll talk to my mother tomorrow."

Regina turned back to the bar to get ask for another drink. Kathryn sat there with her jaw dropped amazed that she wasn't beaten by Regina for being so eager about the situation. She then shook her head and turned back to the bar with a smirk before she took another drink.

They both sat there for a few minutes in silence before Regina had looked at Kathryn and nudged her shoulder.

"What?" Kathryn gazed.

Regina just simply pointed over to the far right corner were a tall man, well built, with dark hair and blue eyes stood. Kathryn just smiled as she giggled while waiving the gentlemen over.

"Hello there." Kathryn teased. "See anything you like?"

Regina sat there rolling her eyes and taking another drink knowing where Kathryn was going with this.

The man's eyes grazed over Regina as he licked his lips, "Why aren't you just gorgeous."

"Charming." Regina said sarcastically as her eyes brows furrowed.

The man pulled up a stool and sat between the two woman and spoke cockily, "How about I buy you two ladies a few shots."

"Of course." Kathryn said quickly before Regina could scare him away.

Regina glared maliciously over towards her friend as she could not believe she was going to allow this slime to buy them alcohol let alone sit between them. She thought he smelt strange and besides that he made her feel rather uncomfortable with how his eyes kept tracing over her constantly.

The man called over the bartender and order them all shots of buttery nipples. He leaned over towards Regina, "My name's Mark, what's your's?"

Regina just smirked and said slyly, "Kathryn."

Kathryn's eyes fell as she was annoyed by what her friend was trying to pull.

"No it's Regina." Kathryn imposed.

Regina glared over at her, "No dear, that's your name." she said giggling. "My friend is already so drunk she can't get our names right."

The guy just smiled at Regina as he handed her the shot and together they all drank.

After a few hour passed Regina and Kathryn left the drunk guy who managed to pass out on the bar's countertop. They were laughing all the way out about how much fun they had messing around with him. He must have been so confused after awhile that he just ended up rolling with it. Regina and Kathryn bidded their goodbyes as they gave each other a hug and waved goodbye.

"Dont' forget to talk to your mother tomorrow about our summer vacation!" Kathryn hollered before going to her car.

Regina just laughed and waved back before walking home.
