Chapter 6.5-- Dirty Joke
The following day, in the early evening, Colette is cleaning beer mugs behind the bar, humming softly to herself. With her back to the entrance, she hears the door open as the first patron of the evening enters the pub. The patron approaches the counter and clears her throat.
"Ah, welcome to
Cheers!
Sports Bar and Pub! What can I...?" She turns around and comes face-to-face with a hostile-looking young woman, her wide frizzy hair pushed back with a hairband, accentuating a wide forehead and moon-like face, a set of narrow eyes glowering at her from behind a pair of oval-shaped glasses.
"Oh, Mia! Fancy seeing you here! I never knew you were into bar scenes!"
"I'm not here to have a drink and socialize, Colette Graystone!"
"Huh? Then what brings y...?"
"I want to know who was making all those filthy sex noises last night!" Mia angrily shoves a finger in Colette's direction and demands. "Com'on! Was it you? Or that goth girl? That was all I could hear when I was trying to study last night!"
"Umm... both of us?" Colette scratches the back of her head sheepishly. "Look, I'm sorry if we were noisy, it was our firs..."
"You both had lads in the room at the same time?!" Mia cuts her off with a shocked squeal. "My god! How filthy can you get!?"
Colette, not taking much offense, tries to remain discrete.
"Umm... can you please not say that so loud? And actually... there weren't any lads... just... us two..."
Upon hearing that, Mia stumbles back, her eyes bulging almost to her forehead.
"Wait... no lads... just you two... you don't mean...?"
"Yep, that's right." Colette leans across the counter with a wince and a whisper, holding a finger to her own lips. "Please don't tell anyone."
A moment later, Mia can be seen bursting out of the pub entrance, her face sickly green and holding a palm over her mouth as she gags, almost bumping into Kazelle, who is making her way through the door with her guitar bag slung over her shoulder. She turns to give Mia a puzzled look before entering the pub.
