Us Against All Odds (En)

End of the evening

You kissed me, yes, but it wasn't just to say goodbye. Even then, I felt that your kiss contained a promise, that you would always kiss me the same way.

They had finished the meal and after paying the bill they went to a nightclub. It was more of a nightclub-bar but it was a very hip place. Very popular with the LGBTQIA+ community in Seattle.

- "Who wants a drink?" asked Teddy.

- "me, definitely me," said Taryn.

-I'll have a cocktail, but not too strong," said Amelia in turn.

- "they make beer?" Jack asked.

- "I think"

- "a beer for me and you Jo?"

-"a tequila sunrise"

- "oh yes, here, please take this too" added Amelia

- "and our two turtledoves?" Said Altman in the direction of Maya and Carina, who were already glued together talking in each other's ears, the Italian's hand on her wife's waist.

Jack, who was next to them, had elbowed his captain.
Without taking her eyes off her companion, the OB-GYN had then spoken first:

- "a sex on the beach" she said, looking at her wife's lips.

- "two... Two sex on the beach" added her wife.

Quickly the lips of the blonde had found the way to the hollow of the ear of the gynecologist.

-"What the hell are they talking about now?" Helm said to Shepherd.

- "no idea, but the way Carina is biting her lip, she's probably not making her shopping list to her..."

- "more like her list to Santa..." Helm laughed.

- "or to Mrs. Claus" outbid Amelia.

On their side, Jack and Jo were still talking. It seemed like they were getting along pretty well and always had something to talk about.

- "hello, is there a pretty lady I could buy a drink for?" Made a woman in her fifties, short and gray hair, a bit stocky and obviously there to flirt. "My name is Bea."

- "sorry, we just arrived and we just want to spend an evening with friends" replied Carina in a very pleasant tone, while this woman had cut her sublime wife, in the sweet words she was whispering in her ear.

- "if any of you change your mind, I'll be here"

- "Did I do right?" She asked in Taryn's direction.

- "uh yes, Grey is fine, but you shouldn't overdo it either"

The Italian had then put her second arm on the shoulders of her wife and this last one had come to kiss her in the neck.

Soon after, the glasses had been passed from person to person to get to the right owner and the group had moved to a table still available. For lack of space, Carina sat on top of Maya.

- "but we can squeeze in if you want."

-"Are you kidding? I have the best seat Wilson!" replied the brunette which made the group laugh.

- "Well, let's toast to this evening, and to the fact that we need to find someone for Helm" said Amelia

They had all been chatting and tasting their drinks.
