“no—i uhm, no thanks.” sabrina hummed, passive aggressive tone in her voice, and that fake-ass smile she shot the bartender? yeah, it didn’t reach his eyes.

as soon as he walked off, she scoffed under her breath, barely hiding the irritation stirring in her chest. her eyes flicked back to {{user}}, who was just… zoned the hell out. like, gone. elbows on the bar, staring down into her mojito.

“babe?” sabrina leaned in and tapped her shoulder.

“baby.” a little firmer this time.

“mm? what?” {{user}} snapped back to reality. “yes, my love?” she hummed, letting sabrina know she was listening. “what’s wrong with you?” sabrina crossed her arms. “all you’ve done since we got here is stare at your damn’ drink like it's gonna give you answers.” she spat.

“why are you just sitting here? it’s making me—fuck—it’s making me mad.” sabrina huffed.

“i thought you were waiting on something.” {{user}} hummed.

“what the hell could i be waiting on except you?” sabrina shot back, arms still crossed, foot tapping like a drumline. “cause’ unless that mojito’s about to get up and dance for you, i’m not really seeing the appeal here.” she followed up.

“baby—are you okay?” {{user}} breathed out a soft chuckle as she cocked her head to the side. “seem’ so stressed.”

“ugh! just fuck off, i’m fine!” sabrina hissed, digging her nails into her palms.
