Why do I feel this way?

Chapter 105: Janny

Before Sara walks up to Vivian and Siobhan, she pauses pulling Janice closer to whisper, "Janny, they mean a lot to me. Please be nice." The look on Janice's face was one Vivian never expected to see. Her eyes softened as she lifted her hand to cradle Sara's cheek. With a single kiss to the forehead Vivian barely heard her whisper, "I'll try my best..."

Sara narrows her eyes and shifts her stance slightly but effectively showing her displeasure in Janice's response. The older woman lifts her head slightly gritting her teeth as she softly growls, "fine... but you owe me for this torture." The sweet bartender giggled as she winked, "that's a good girl." Again effectively changing Janice's demeanor to completely flustered.

Vivian couldn't help but chuckle at the sheer unexpected compliance she witnessed as Sara made her request.

Wow, I wasn't expecting that dynamic. Can't say I trust Janice, but Sara seems to definitely have a powerful effect on her. I wonder if she can convince Janice to stop whatever strings she is pulling to frame Siobhan?

Sara pulled Janice with her over to Vivian. "Hey, Viv! You know Janice right?" Vivian stood with her hands in the back pockets of her jeans as she nodded, "Yea, we've crossed paths a time or two..."

Siobhan tapped Ciara's leg gently, "Sweet girl, I'm going to go greet our friends." The young girl hopped up as she watched carefully. With all the things she had been through, she had become good at "reading the room" so to speak. She noticed the change in Siobhan's tone, her guarded stance and somehow felt the tension in the air.

The blonde strolled up next to Vivian sliding her hand across her lower back resting it on her hip. "Good to see you Sara. Jamie will love that you came to see him play." Siobhan shifted her eyes towards Janice trying not to allow the anger to show on her face or in her voice. "Nice to see you as well, Janice." She gestured towards them acknowledging them holding hands, "So when did this happen?"

Sara started glowing, "Only a few weeks ago. The first time I met Janny I thought she was the devil. However, once I cracked through that armor, I realized how special she is.

Vivian attempted, barely, to stifle her chuckle before she questioned, "Janny?" Janice sighed and with an eye roll started to walk away. Sara pulled her back, "Don't be like that... We are here to watch Jamie. You can handle someone teasing about my pet name for you." Janice and Sara made eye contact for a few seconds before the dark haired woman relented, "Where am I putting these chairs, tendie?"

Sara tilted her head slightly, breathing a soft laugh, "Just put them next to theirs so we can enjoy the game together."

As Janice walks past them to set the chairs up, Vivian raises her eyebrows at Sara, her voice low and teasing, "tendie? Don't think I wanna know how that pet name came about." Siobhan snorted as they turned to walk back to their chairs.

While Vivian and Siobhan were teasing Sara, Ciara was sitting in Siobhan's chair waiting for her to come back. As Janice approached and started to set up the chairs, the young girl offered to help. A gentle smile pulled at Janice's lips, "sure, could you set this one up while I do this one?" Ciara nods with a smile and gets straight to work.

The young girl began to ask questions as they both completed their task. "Are you friends with Siobhan and Vivian?"

Janice smirked, she finished settling her chair in the perfect spot before responding. The woman bent down to Ciara's level, "I wouldn't necessarily call us friends, but I know them."

Ciara unfolds the chair as she speaks with a tender voice, "You should be friends with them. They are really good people. Even when I have a bad day, they still love me and help me through it."
