The Toluca Can Techno Bar Parking Lot
"That guy, Todd, he totally digged you." Monroe stated playfully as the walked through the dark parking lot.
"What? Nuhuh." Casey nudged Rachael's shoulder. "He was drooling over you, Rachael."
"When we danced, nothing happened. But when he saw you at the bar..." She smiled. "Full erection!" Casey laughed.
"Don't lie, Rachael. He did not."
"I would never lie to you, Casey." She smiled. "The guy was stiff." Rachael let out a chuckle.
"What do you think he liked about me?" Casey asked.
"Everything! But he must especially love red heads. And I'm glad you went back to your natural hair color. Blonde just wasn't…you." Casey nodded.
"Yeah. I know. 'Thought people would take me seriously….
"With blonde hair?" Rachael asked confused. Casey didn't answer. Monroe hugged Casey's shoulders.
"I take you seriously Miss Novak and so does everybody else. Some people might not show it, but they all respect you as a Defense Attorney and a great person." Casey sighed.
"Come on. Stop being so depressed about what other think bout you. If you don't, I'm going to slash your tires and leave you here for the Hobo in the alley to take advantage of you." Casey smirked then chuckled a bit. Rachael let go of Casey's shoulder.
"At a girl." She flashed Casey a big smile.
"So where are we going next, Rache."
"Well." Rachael looked at her watch. "Since it's only ten thirty three…" She looked at Casey. "Wanna go catch a movie?"
"Sure!" she was excited at the idea. "I have the popcorn at my house."
"Your house?" She asked confused. "No, I meant a theater movie."
"Oh, sorry." Casey said timidly.
"Don't be." Rachael stepped in front of Casey facing her but still walking backwards. "We can go to your house afterwards." She grinned and raised her eyebrows. Casey laughed and blushed. God, why does she have to be so sexy when she blushes? Monroe thought as she walked backwards staring at Casey. But the thought was ruined when Casey tripped over who knows what, but Rachael was there to catch her. Rachael held her arms to help balance her.
"You okay?" She could hardly keep from laughing.
"Yes." Casey giggled.
"You tipsy, Miss Novak?"
"No." Casey smirked. "Just clumsy."
"Ah, I see." Rachael winked at Casey then turned around.
"I'm serious. I only had two shots….Oh my god! Are you okay!" Casey kneeled down to Rachael that was on the ground from tripping over something as well. Rachael got to her feet and wiped off her skirt.
"You're bleeding at your knee." Rachael looked down at her knee and laughed.
"Well what the fuck do you know, it is!" she laughed again. Casey raised an eyebrow.
"You tipsy, Miss Monroe?" She said crossing her arms but was playful. Rachael looked at Casey then smiled.
"NO. I only had four shots. I'm just being clumsy right now." Casey laughed.
"Come on. Let's get you cleaned up in my car.
"Naw. I can do it here." Rachael leaned down wiped her bloody knee and stuck her finger in her mouth.
"Ew! That's so gross!"
"It's my blood, Miss Novak!" She licked her bloody finger again. Casey started pushing Monroe to her car.
"Come on. Just clean up properly in my car." Rachael obeyed.
"Okay, Casey." Rachael rolled her eyes.
"HELP ME! SOMEBODY, PLEASE!" a woman's voice screamed. Casey swung her head back from where the voice came from.
"Did you hear that!" Casey asked in a whisper. Before she knew it, Monroe dashed out in a sprint towards the area where the voice was heard. Casey followed right behind Rachael. They ran threw the parking lot, down the side walk, across the street and down another two blocks. Rachael and Casey stopped running to catch their breath because they haven't heard the woman scream again since they started running.
"I….don't know where….to go." Rachael huffed.
"Should we…..split up?" Casey asked out of breath as well.
"No….not right now…at this hour."
"Maybe…it was a TV."
"You're probably right." Rachael stood up straight and walked with Casey back to the car.
"NO! DON'T, PLEASE!" the woman's voice was much closer now. Casey looked back and started in a sprint again. This time they only had to run down half a block and into an alley. There in the alley, was a woman being pinned down against a wall by a man holding a gun to her head. Her shirt was ripped off and she looked terrified. Monroe dashed over to the man and tackled him with full force in his stomach. He dropped his gun and hit the ground with a thud. Casey ran up to the women and asked if she was okay. Monroe got up and kicked the man in the face then in his side. Casey tried to calm down the woman saying it'll be okay. As the man tried to sit up, Monroe socked him in the jaw. He was out like a light.
"What are you doing!" The woman pushed Rachael away and kneeled down towards the man.
"What the fuck are you talking about!" Monroe yelled.
"He was trying to rape you!" Casey looked confused and pissed when the woman lovingly held the man's head in her lap.
"He's my husband!" the woman screamed. Casey's and Rachael's eyes widened.
"What?" the girls asked at the same time.
"The man you just viciously beaten is my husband." She looked down at him. "We were doing role play." Monroe was speechless.
"Role play with a gun?" Casey was still out of breath.
"It's our son's toy gun."
"Wha….why…why do you…" Monroe huffed and scratched the back of her head. The man started coming to.
"Why do you do role play in an alley about a man about to rape you?" Rachael asked. The women raised on eyebrow.
"Because it's fun. And there's the excitement of getting…."
"A Venereal Disease?" Casey seriously couldn't believe the woman. Rachael smirked.
"No." the woman answered snooty. "It's exciting for me and my husband and we love doing it…."
"In an alley." Monroe interrupted.
"Yes. In an alley." Casey rolled her eyes and Monroe took a deep breath.
"Honey, are these the strippers we ordered?" the man asked his wife slurring his words.
"No, Fredrick. These two women just wanted to spoil our fun."
"We thought you were being raped!" Casey said defensively. The woman scoffed.
"I think you should try it, Honey. Doesn't look like you have been laid in a long time."
Casey lunged after the woman and almost got to her but Rachael grabbed her waist and held her back.
"You jilted bitch! I hope you and your husband do get raped in an alley with a gun pointed to your head!" Casey spat at the woman.
"Come on, Casey. Let's just go." Rachael dragged Casey out of the alley and they walked back to their cars and left for the movie theatre.
At the Blockbuster Movie Theatre
"Hey, Casey! Over here!" Rachael had to signal Casey over to the front of the theater where she was standing. Casey saw her and waved back smiling. Casey walked over and moved through the crowd that was in font of the theater as well.
"Thought I lost you." Rachael read the titles that were on the movie list that were playing tonight.
"You're a real speed demon when you drive in your car." Rachael smiled.
"Sorry about that. I needed to get in front of the theater so I could read what movies are in." Some one bumped into Casey's arm.
"Why are there so many people here?"
"Ah…" Rachael looked at Casey. "It's a two for one deal." She looked back at the board. "Two movies that were already in theaters for the price of one new movie. People always go crazy for this deal." Casey pointed at a title.
"I want to see that one."
"The Exorcism of Emily Rose?" Rachael asked.
"Yes. I haven't seen that one yet."
"You know that's about the Devil and exorcisms, right?" Casey hit her arm lightly.
"Yeah, so…"
"So… I don't want you to be clinging on to me, or screaming…" She started counting with her fingers. "Or squealing, or crying, or closing your eyes, or saying that you regretted watching the movie."
"Don't be a jerk; I won't do any of those things." Rachael raised an eyebrow.
"What! I won't!"
"Okay, okay. What's the other one you want to see?" Casey studied the list.
"Ah, you pick, Rache." Rachael shrugged and said okay
"How about……Clerks!" her eyes lit up when she said it.
"Clerks…okay. That sounds funny."
"You have no idea." Rachael frowned after someone bumped into her arm. "God, I hate crowds." She looked around at all the people. They seemed to be paired in twos and fours. "Seems like tonight night. Shit." She looked down.
"What's wrong, Rachael?"
"NEXT! Who's next!" the man said inside the glass window. "Ma'am, please step forward."
"Oh, sorry." Casey stepped up to the window. "Can I get two tickets to Exorcism of Emily Rose and Clerks? Thank you." Casey looked like a gitty school girl.
"Sure. Where's your boyfriend?" he asked looking passed Casey.
"Excuse me?"
"It's discount dating tonight. You bring your boyfriend or girlfriend witcha and you get a discount off the original price."
"Oh." Casey looked back at Rachael. Rachael looked a little embarrassed for forgetting not to come this night. Casey grabbed Monroe's arm and pulled her up to the window.
"Okay, can we get our tickets now?" Casey politely asked. The man raised his eyebrows.
"That's your girlfriend?"
"Yes." The man just looked at the two of them suspiciously. A lot of people come by these nights claiming to be couples but just say it to get discounts. A few seconds went by and Casey couldn't take the tension. She put both hands on Rachael's head, pulled Rachael to her and put a big wet kiss on her lips. It lasted a good five seconds. Some people whistled and hollered at their smooch. Rachael stumbled back a bit after Casey slowly unlocked her lips from Rachael's. She was just as shocked as the man watching in the window.
"That'll be twenty two, forty four." He handed over the four tickets.
"Thank you!" Casey paid the man then pulled Rachael in the theater but not before the men in the crowd chanted We love lesbians. Like they do on the Jerry Springer Show. Casey turned around when Rachael stopped walking.
"I can't believe you did that, Casey! That was so unlike you!" Casey just smiled and laughed.
"Come on. We gotta get a good spot." Casey pulled on Rachael's arm.
"I mean wow. And it wasn't even a peck on the cheek or lips. It was a full lip to lip kiss! And a wet one!"
"Rachael!" Casey laughed. "Its discount dating night, so I had to convince the guy that we were a couple." They started walking to their movie again.
"You definitely convinced me, Case." Casey looked back.
"Good. I knew if I convinced you I convinced that guy. Now come on." They walked but then Rachael stopped dead in her tracks.
"Did I feel tongue, Casey?" Casey looked at Rachael and bit her lip then raised her eyebrow.
"Maybe…"
