This was horrifying. Not for herself, but for the other two. And she was stuck in the middle. So once Theo started exposing everything that had went down, her eyes went wide. Catching the text that vibrated against her thigh, Selina winked, and then continued to listen. A few thoughts went through her head, and her mouth dropped open. "Shit. You're only seven years older than me, Theo. So cut with the middle-aged bullshit. That doesn't start until fifty. And you-" She turned to Summer, clicking her tongue. "Don't bait the cops. And if you're going to steal for a story, at the very least don't do it from the man who's heart you broke. Who's a cop. Not only that, but a detective. They. Find. Out. Things. " She said it with a partial bit of humor, wagging her finger at her.
Summer knew better! There were much better ways to get a story, without going that far. But many other things were creeping into her mind as well. Thought she didn't want to even admit to as she glanced between her two friends. The sex didn't really bother her, but Summer had to know that you didn't step on good people to rise in your own profession. It would always come back to bite you in the ass.
At least they had agreed to keep the past behind them. But the information still left a sharp sting on her tongue. So many questions herself. Was there a reason she'd never caught his eye? He knew her whole story at this point. Maybe it was because she really did break the law, that kept him away. Summer's admission snapped her out of her head, as she nodded. "We all good?" As the car came to a halt, Selina nearly ripped off Summer's arm to keep her from vaulting from the car.
"Let him get the door. He's picky about his car," She whispered hotly. And as angry and embarrassed as she knew Summer was, there were ways to get around the Bull. ...probably more ways that Summer knew, but Selina knew a few tricks of her own, too. And letting him open the door, would help heal the wounds between her two friends. Or at least she could hope. If not, alcohol would ease the night away.

"Fine then, Slate's clean, Red." Harvey's mood made a fast and abrupt change. he now looked relazed, replinished and refreshed from the sour puss he was being a moment ago. Harvey didn't like things festering up inside him, well at least certain things. There were plenty of things he allowed to ferment, but he really needed to get his beef out with Summer. He had heard the thing about vomit earlier and that was what sparked it. He would not tolerate being considered disgusting when he did not feel he had done anything wrong beyond letting her past his defenses so many months ago. He got out and opened the car door, giving them both a little smirk as they got out. "Don't run so fast, Gleeson, I ain't gonna bite you no more, doll." Harvey shut the door behind them and put the top on the car up, just in case the weather decided to shift. As they walked in Harvey held the door open for them. Once they were in Harvey looked the place over in all its blues and folksy glory. He pulled his head back quirking a brow. "Place looks good when it ain't torn up by Joker." The song playing was quite appropriate.

This was humiliating. The torture only continued as Selina rounded on her next. Perhaps her manipulative move as a twenty-one year old may have helped significantly boost her career, though was making for a very embarrassing conversation at the moment. To think, she had thought she was going to dance and drink her troubles away tonight rather than be reminded of them. She was beginning to regret how she had severely mistreated Harvey, though even if she had the chance to take it back she wouldn’t; after all, it got her to where she was now. Running her fingers through her curls she listened to Selina’s sediment silently. “I know,” She groaned, “Trust me I figured that out the hard way. I haven’t slept with one since.” Actually, Summer hadn’t slept with anyone since Harvey. She had been so enveloped in her career that she rarely had time for a goldfish, let alone a boyfriend.
Like an annoyed teenager, the young reporter released another groan as the conversation continued. Always one for dramatics, she was literally prepared to spring from the car without another word in regards to her past relationship with Harvey. Part of her wished they could simply spend the evening making snide comments toward the other as usual, but he had to make things difficult and make up. The stubborn Summer nodded in her friend’s direction. “Yes, fabulous. Really. Let’s just- change the subject and never talk about it again.”
Summer literally jumped out of the car, taking in the fresh winter air and hoping that the redness on her cheeks had faded. “Oh, but I am sure you know how much I like biting.” She replied with slight annoyance. It was difficult to simply start over and act like nothing had happened. There had been a series of despicable events over the past few years even since she had royally screwed him over. However, this was not what she wanted to deal with right now. Taking the opportunity to cling to Selina, she tried to casually play off the past twenty minutes by abruptly changing the topic. “So you know the owner of this place? Do you think they will be here tonight?”
Looping her arm with Selina’s, she knew that she had a lot of explaining to do to Selina. Harvey’s comment however, caused her to cringe at the very name alone. She had forgotten about the chaos he had caused at the club, despite the fact it had only been a matter of days sense she covered it on her show.

Honestly. She wasn't one to get blitzed daily, but a glass or two of something nice, and now, would be fantastic. Or several shots. And a cigarette. Or about four. The looks that were now flying between the two ex-lovers were still heated. But she knew Harvey Bullock didn't tolerate being used. Ever.
So as she glared up at him when he opened the door, that was all she'd say for now. Until he mentioned the biting. And she almost tripped, her cheeks going red. At least she could nod to Summer, to make sure her friend got the point. And this was a conversation they'd continue later. The look in those green eyes of hers said as much. "Mmm. Changing the topic will happen, but...it will be brought up. Just not now."
As Summer almost knocked her off balance, she swore inwardly, wishing she hadn't worn heels. If she fell, again, or had to run up stairs, whoever was being accosted could fuck themselves, and handle it. She was done being insured. "Slow your roll, Summer. And yes, I hope Beretta is here. She's fantastic. But Bobby the bartender, well he's certainly something..." she winked at the redhead, as they walked inside, the music causing her to shake her head.
"No talking about him, either, ok? I just saw him a few ago, and I'd rather not revisit that. Not here, not tonight, now now. Either of you." She wasn't here to play mediator between any of the tonight, and the look in her eyes said so.
Making her way to the bar, she couldn't remember if Beretta 'Rooster' Stone allowed smoking in here. But hopefully a certain someone would feel the urge, and she'd get her fill soon enough. She knew where he kept 'em.

And, as if on cue, Rooster appeared with a man on each arm and a fairly well smoked down stogie between her teeth. She was about to pass by, going on loudly about Houston, Texas to the gentlemen when she noticed the group. She recognized Selina and Harvey, and Summer from television. She told the men to scram and they took off. She walked over and looked the group over, thumbs between her belt and shirt.
"Well, well, well, if this ain't a motley little crew walkin' up inta my little juke joint. Miss Kyle, Detective Bullock, Miss Gleeson, ain't this a treat. VIP section will be open to you if you so wish it, but we don't like none of that damn segregatin' bull shit up in here. Though, I'm sure Bobby'd be happy to see you ladies."
Rooster gave Harvey a generous look over.
"Mmm, mmmmm, mmmmmmmm. You sure you ain't from Texas, Bullock? Because I sure ain't seen a whole lot of 'em in Gotham built as well as you. C'mon, beau, I'll get your drink myself."
Rooster walked over and went behind the bar and began making something up for Harvey while Bobby turned his attention to Selina and Summer.
"Ladies! Ah, Miss Kyle, you're back. You need another Tea? Or would you like somethin' a little sweeter this time? And you, oooh, you look like a sassy little thing, Miss Gleeson, you need a sassy drink, don'tcha?"

Harvey was about to say something when Rooster suddenly appeared. He didn't often go for blondes, but he could make an exception for her any day. He was also a bit off put by her eyes looking him over like a starved dog looking over a fresh steak. He was not used to being on this side of that particular type of exchange.
"Ah, then you need to be gettin' to the East End more often, that's where I got made, Mizz Stone."
Harvey looked a bit surprised at her hospitality, but it was a bit confusing. He couldn't tell if this was just her being friendly or hitting on him. Either way, he'd take it.
"Hey, whatcha smokin' there, Lady Bird?"
He looked over noticing the ridiculously handsome man behind the bar flirting and working. He grit his teeth a bit and turned his attention to Rooster behind the bar making him whatever the hell she was making.

“Oh is he?” She said with a mischievous smirk. “This night is certainly full of surprises.” Hopefully the good-looking alcohol god would help smooth everything over and allow her to forget about the awkwardness prior to their arrival. Deciding to slow her pace a bit for Selina’s sake, she blushed only momentarily but all of her worries seemed to wash away the moment they walked inside. Having never been in the establishment before, her wide eyes grew even wider as she took in the scene around her. It was like nothing she had ever seen and the music pounded in time to her heartbeat. For once, the sober sister of the night was eager to get some liquid courage in her system.
Sighing dramatically at Selina’s comment, she nodded almost reluctantly. “Alright, I will be good. But if he starts anything, don’t think I am not going to reply.” She managed a reassuring smile toward her dear friend before continuing. “Don’t worry though; I think after what we all have been through the past week, all of us just need a break. I don’t have the energy to fight right now.” Following Selina to the bar, a very intimidating woman started onto the scene, an attractive man on each of her sides. Managing a pleasant, white smile, it was very safe to assume that this was the owner that everyone seemed to be raving about.
“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you!” Summer begins sweetly, offering her hand out for an introduction. “This place is amazing!” The promise of VIP and bartenders that were alcohol wizards seemed to make the smile on her face even bigger. While the woman directed her attention to Harvey, the famous bartender she had been hearing so much about turned to both she and Selina. She giggled at his comment, though nodded quickly. “Yes please! I’ll take whatever you recommend.” There was no denying that he was incredibly attractive, Summer looked him up and down when his back was turned preparing her drinks before mouthing an ‘Oh my god” to Selina to let her know that she completely agreed.

Smiling brightly at Bobby, her mood changed. "I am. Brought a few friends this time. And a tea would be fantastic, maybe a bit of a tart twist? And make it strong, if you wouldn't mind." She had eyeballed Beretta as she had came over to their group. She bit her tongue when the southern belle hauled him off to the bar. Thankfully Bobby and Rooster worked side-by-side.
Selina had somehow found herself between Summer and Theo. She winked at Summer as Bobby went about concocting whatever it was for the two of them. Her eyes flicked to where Beretta was mixing up something, her eyes going wide for a minute as her hand dipped into Harvey's suitcoat to find the silver case he usually kept there. She was close enough to him she could murmur quietly, "At least you have good taste," before removing a cigarette and taking it between her lips. Tonight was off to a fine damn start, even if she didn't want to admit to the sting in her chest.

Rooster served Harvey up a Pimm's Cup. It was beautiful as well as awesome. "That there, Detective, is a Pimm's Cup, a British cocktail. Try it, if you don't like it I'll make something else. Meanwhile Bobby was finishing up Selina and Summer's drinks. He turned back to them setting Selina's tea before her and made the edits she wished. For Summer he made her a tequila sunrise with pomegranate juice instead of grenadine syrup. "There you are, ladies. Texas Tea and a Tequila Sunrise with a bit of a remix on it, Mizz Gleeson. Enjoy those! So... How does it go in Gotham for you two on this fine winter's eve?"Bobby wore a plaid western shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a rather fit and snug pair of wranglers. The view from behind was as nice as the front view. He had nice strong arms and a winning little white smile. He was quite the attractive man.
Rooster leaned against the bar, talking to Harvey.
"So, hombre, what's the story on that commissioner of yours. He single and all that?"

Harvey looked at the drink and picked it up as she slid it to him. He raised a brow at it and took a sip of it before pulling it back away from his mouth.
"Wow, that's actually pretty impressive. Where did you learn to make a drink like this? You don't seem like a gin kind of girl, Mizz Stone."
Harvey leaned against the bar as she did from the other side. He smirked a bit at her question. Ah, she's being friendly, not flirty, good to know...
"Commish is single. And to be honest, you may be a little nuts, but I think he could use some excitement you could provide him. And please, all I ask is ya don't hurt 'im, he's shitty when he's all heart broken. Gets really moody."
Harvey took another sip of his drink and watched Bobby serve the other two. He smirked at Selina's comment. He shrugged and continued watching Bobby and the girls.
"Try not to stare too much, might burn holes in his pants," he murmured to Selina.

With more people added to the concoction, the situation quickly lost its seriousness. Her wandering eyes scanned the bartender up and down as he turned to make both she and Selina’s drinks, his tight jeans only making her want to see what was underneath them with each passing second. Summer honestly had no idea what a tequila sunrise entailed – other than, well tequila. Being somewhat tame compared to post of her friends, she wasn’t one known to go out and drink other than on special occasions marking success so she wasn’t sure what variety of drinks the group had in store for her to sample this evening.
Sampling her drink, she looked up at him with a pleasant smile. “This is really good!” A bit strong, but good. She knew that every single person in the area would be able to out drink her in a matter of minutes and decided to keep her secret to herself. It wasn’t until she saw Selina pull out a cigarette did she put her drink down. Quickly snatching it as the brunette put it between her lips, the redhead was quick to snap it in two as she looked up at her friend in complete disappointment, her tone a bit hushed, “Please tell me you were mistook that as a straw or something! What are you doing? No! Since when did you start smoking? Do you know what that does to your teeth?”
She couldn’t help but shoot Harvey a dirty look, automatically assuming he was to blame for this, but said nothing to him. He seemed to be in a conversation with the owner, which Summer was also eavesdropping slightly in. So she was interested in the commissioner, as useless as the information was at the moment, it was certainly amusing.

As she stood there, Selina was partially jealous he got a cup of gin. Pimm's cups were fantastic. And if made well? Her eyes closed for a moment as she could remember going through a pitcher or four when she'd been in Europe. God. That would be next on her list after her tea.
"Thank you, Bobby. I might need Rooster to make me one of those, next." She said, her head inclining toward Rooster and Theo. Her eyes watched them for a moment as the got closer, but it was then he whispered back to her. "Mm. I have a different pair of pants to eyeball, Handsome," she joked, a faint squeeze giving her a handful of prime beef.
Speaking around the cigarette, Selina smirked at the delighted squeal from the red-head to her left. "Hey! Summer! C'mon! They're not even mine!" She whined, holding the case out of her reach. Selina had to pause, before she dropped the girl, realizing she just couldn't do that because she had a cig yanked from her mouth.
"God no. I have a straw in my tea already. And shit, I've been smoking on and off since I was 16. I just don't do it often. When I'm drinking, or stressed. Which is soon going to be a doubly valid reason." Smiling brightly at her friend, she shook her head. "Do my teeth look bad? No, I didn't think so." Turning to Theo, she pushed the case into his side. "Can you light me one of these? Mom over here is reading me the riot act."

"I ain't no girl, Detective and I sure am an all alcohol lady."
She chuckled a bit and picked up the cigar from a tray next to Harvey to puff on.
"I only smoke cubans, but shhh."
He got a few good puffs in and grabbed herself a beer and came around the bar to join the others. She stood behind them and continued her conversation with Harvey.
"You gotta deal, Detective, but only if I snag 'im. Can't promise I will, but if I do I promise I'll try to keep from breakin' up that heart of his."
Rooster then turned her attention to Summer and Selina, seeing Harvey get his back side squeezed. She smirked and just looked to them.
"Well, how them drinks? And just so you ladies know, Bobby's talents don't stop at the bar top."
Bobby shook his head, leaning against the bar.
"Boss, you know you ain't knowin' nothin' about any of that."
"Bobby, I was talkin' 'bout your carpentry, masonery, and other associated skills, get yer mind outta that dern gutter."
"Oh, sure, Boss."
Bobby smirked and went to grab a pair of beers for a couple down the bar a bit.

Harvey gave Rooster a hardy nod.
"Thank ya, ma'am."
Harvey took a few more sips of his drink and offered it to Selina to try while he fished his lighter out of his breast pocket and flicked it for her. He got a squeeze on his backside and he tensed up at it and grit his teeth at her.
"Don't start nothin' you don't want to finish, baby."
Harvey wiggled his eye brows and lit his own cigarette as well. He grimaced at Summer a bit.
"What?"
Harvey turned to look over to Rooster who had come out and round the bar up behind them. He watched the exchange between she and Bobby and shook his head, chuckling. At least this Bobby guy was good at rolling it off.

Wait, what were they doing? Did Harvey just go from being escort to making her third wheel? She blinked for a moment, tipping the contents of her drink into her mouth and swallowing a great deal of what the glass had contained. An involuntary shudder raced through her petite frame, as she stepped back into the reality of the situation “Are you serious? I mean, no…but teeth whitening is expensive, just think of how much-“ She stopped, fully aware the she was defeated. Selina was going to do whatever she wanted regardless.
Unable to hide her smile, her jaw dropped when Selina referred to her as ‘mom’ “Shut up!” Giving her a light playful shove, she moved to take another sip of her drink and turning to address the owner’s question. “It’s great; I could drink them all night.” Oblivious to what the drink actually included, it certainly tasted good and she didn’t want to look childish by asking. Beretta was certainly a wonderful hostess; her big personality seemed to illuminate the entire room when she had walked in. Even now the unlikely group seemed to get getting along swimmingly.
Summer was content sipping her drink, sending flirtatious glances at the bartender and doing everything she could to avoid Harvey when she noticed yet another flirty exchange between the pair. “Did you just say, baby?” Her eyes grew wide in sudden realization. “Oh my god. No.” It wasn’t that she was mad, but the pure shock of it all seemed to hit her like a tidal wave. Not even bothering to finish the rest of her drink, she turned toward Bobby, “I need a shot, please. Anything.” Summer was always one for dramatics
