"Who's the better kisser? Tamsin or me," Bo Dennis asked furiously as she walked up to Lauren at the bar. The emptiness of the neutral fae bar heightened Bo's words and Lauren was struck off guard long enough for Tamsin to walk through the door.
"Oh please, we all know who's the better kisser. Suck it up, succubus."
Bo rolled her eyes and stared at Lauren, waiting for an answer.
"Um.. I.." Lauren shrugged her shoulders and made a face.
"Look, I've kissed you succubus, and I can tell you Lauren's the better kisser. And since, low and behold, her and I have kissed on multiple occasions, I say I'm the better one, isn't' that right, doc." Tamsin smiled at the doctor as if she didn't just stir the pot even further, and back at Bo. Raising her eyebrows in a mock question, Tamsin looked at Bo as if she was an ant.
"Darlin' if you turn out to be the better kisser, it's only because you're way olde- how old are you again- I seem to have lost track of the centuries."
Lauren put up her hands as her former lover and her recent lover went head to head. "Enough," She said, holding them back with her own body between them. Looking up towards Bo she said, "You're an amazing kisser. I love kissing those lips." Turning to Tamsin she said, "You're also an amazing kisser. I could kiss you forever. That does notmake you-"
"Ha! In your pretty dolled up face. She can kiss me forever, suck it!"
"Oh come on, that doesn't even count," Bo fumed as Tamsin pranced around as if she just won the world's longest chest match.
Lauren put her head in her hand and said, "Tamsin, if you don't stop, I'm revoking my words and you'll lose."
"Say what," Tamsin said dumbfounded, and immediately stopped her dancing.
"There will be no bickering anymore, do you hear me? You both are equal in that field, you got it. This has been going on for too long. I'm ending it here and now." Lauren looked daggers at Bo- who swallowed and put her hands up in a defensive gesture- and looked round at Tamsin, who did the same as the brunette.
"Now, I would like to sit here and enjoy my beer. Are there any more questions." It wasn't a question and she looked at both her lovers in turn.
"Nope, I'm good. You good? I'm good," Tamsin said, looking over to Bo and nodded vigorously. "We're just gonna… go." She turned, Bo on her heels, and they both walked out of the Dal without another word.
That was, however, until they thought they had gotten far enough out of Lauren's hearing range and they began bickering like children again. Lauren hid her eyes with her hand and groaned. It'd be another two weeks of fighting back and forth to decide who was better and she'd be stuck in the middle. She looked down at her beer and smiled regardless.
"Who's the better kisser, huh? I'll never tell."
