"Home sweet home." Wynonna announced out loud, after swinging the door open to Shorty's.
"Wynonna." Waverly scolded with a soft hiss.
"Relax, I'm joking." Wynonna soothed, before admitting, "Sort of."
Waverly sighed, "Let's just get this over with."
"Awww, relax Waves." Wynonna said, putting her arm around her sister's shoulders and leaning in and what was probably mistaken as a friendly gesture, then whispered in her ear, "I'm just buyin' my girl a drink is all."
Desperately trying to hide her blush Waverly pointed out, "That's not why we're really here."
"It's part of it, I promise." Wynonna swore, kissing the side of Waverly's head before pulling away.
Wynonna then scanned the bar, unable to shake the feeling of paranoia that she was being watched. She was right, but predictably most people had gone back to their own business after giving her a dirty look the second she walked in, and the only people looking now were a few mostly drunk men who were leering at them and obviously hoping that they do get lucky with one of them tonight.
They wouldn't, something she made very clear with a stony glare that made them turn their attention back to their drinks or drinking buddies while Wynonna took hold of Waverly's hand and guided her through the bar, which was pretty packed given it was a small town and it was Friday night, which was the reason they had come out. It was less likely they would stand out.
Of course they had always been touchy-feely, so no one even gave a second look even though they spent the next few hours sitting very close or holding hands.
Then as the night wore on they got closer and closer, until it was almost physically painful for Wynonna not to close the short distance between them and kissed those pretty lips of Waverly's.
Of course Wynonna had no idea how she'd been able to resist them for as long as she did. And God, that body, Wynonna unable to stop herself from biting her lip when Waverly briefly left her to go to the bathroom, giving the older sibling a perfect view of that perfect little ass of hers, which left her in a daze of lust until Waverly returned and did something which shocked her out of her thoughts, namely sitting on her lap.
"Waverly!" Wynonna exclaimed softly after blinking a few times, "What are you doin'?"
"Relax." Waverly replied, and then when Wynonna glared at her she sighed, "It isn't like this is the first time."
"Yeah... but it's the first time since, you know..." Wynonna blushed.
Waverly sighed, leaned in and whispered, "It's only weird if you make it weird."
Wynonna wasn't sure that was true, but looking around no one was paying any attention to them. Which possibly said a lot about the way they had acted before, but it felt good to be in this position in public and Wynonna certainly didn't regret it, because fuck, was it nice to have Waverly sitting on her lap.
It made Wynonna feel like a man with his woman. More accurately she was a butch with her bitch. And Wynonna knew it wasn't right to think of Waverly as her bitch, but she couldn't help it, Wynonna so lost in inappropriate thoughts again that the world around her cease to exist.
She even forgot about her latest bottle of beer, although she clutched it tightly in one hand while using the other to stroke up and down Waverly's back.
Then Wynonna was once again shocked out of her daze when someone cheerfully greeted her sister, "Hey Waverly."
"Oh, hey Officer Haught." Waverly greeted cheerily.
"Waverly please, I told you, it's Nicole." Nicole insisted.
"Sorry, it's just you're always in that uniform, which looks really, really good on you by the way, and..." Waverly blushed, then realise she was rambling and quickly tried to calm herself down, "I mean, it won't happen again."
"It's fine." Nicole dismissed, and then after taking a calming breath added, "Actually, I was hoping to buy you a drink. And maybe talk a little. In private."
Wynonna really didn't like the way the redhead raised an eyebrow at her at that last part, but she could take a hint, "It's fine. I was just goin' ta the bar anyway. You two talk. I promise I'll bring ya back somethin'."
With that Wynonna quickly downed her drink, unceremoniously pushed Waverly off her lap and stumbled over to the bar. She then 'negotiated' herself a seat and despite her earlier promise stayed there for the next 10 minutes or so, mostly doing shots to make sure she was well and truly hammered.
Although that was in between looking behind her, Wynonna trying to limit the amount of times she did so but she was pretty sure she failed and just ended up staring angrily as her sister and the cop flirted with each other, Wynonna nearly breaking whatever was in her hand whenever Officer Haught made Waverly laugh or touched her knee. Fuck, in all her life she had never felt so jealous.
*
Waverly was very, very aware of Wynonna's eyes on her the entire time she was talking to Officer Haught. Nicole! She kept having to remind herself of that, especially because Officer Haught was so much more appropriate.
Because wow, was she hot, and Waverly had totally had a crush on her since they met, but that had only been since... wow, just a few weeks ago now. It felt like much longer, but still, a crush couldn't compare to years of pining for Wynonna.
Which she shouldn't need to tell Wynonna, but that didn't stop her big sister from staring at them the entire time 'they were alone together', with the only saving grace being of anyone noticed they probably assumed that Wynonna was just being overprotective of her sister. Or at worst jealous of her, and not Nicole.
"Waverly?"
Waking herself out of her thoughts to notice a now broken-hearted looking Nicole Waverly nervously asked, "What?"
"I... I was wondering if you'd like to get a drink on a less busy night." Nicole asked hesitantly.
"Oh, you mean like a date?" Waverly asked, and then when Nicole gave her an expectant look, "That's so sweet, but I... I..."
"No explanation needed." Nicole interrupted softly, "I know a brushoff when I get it."
"No, I'm not brushing you off." Waverly said quickly without thinking, and then realising what she was implying quickly added, "I'd like too, but it's just that I'm kind of seeing someone right now."
"Oh." Nicole said, overwhelmed with bitter disappointment, "It's not Chad is it? Because I'm sorry Waverly, but he just doesn't deserve you."
"No! God no, that's never happening again. Honestly I was only with him because of limited dating options." Waverly said quickly.
