Yankee Roses

Dixie slid her leg forward, gently nudging Table under the taylor. "That ain't a problem, and hey, if ya want to save some money, ah'll fling ya over my shoulder and carry ya all the way home."

She started to fill up her mug again, then decided against it, deciding she wanted a clearer head before she headed home herself. She wasn't feeling that buzzed, not yet anyway, but it was better to be safe then sorry.

"Anytime, girl," she smiled back at Taylor, waving a hand at her. "Ah had fun, even if ya did manage to get the better of me. Hell, it's been too long since ah've gotten to throw down with someone like that." She glanced at the punk's eye, and smiled a little wider. "Yer black eye is gonna look good on ya," she teased, raising a hand up to her own face. "Ya bruised me up pretty good too. Ah think we'll both be wearing this match around for a while, huh?"

"Oh, I know, dude! I thought my last black eye was sooo hot!" Taylor lit up at the memory of it. Maybe Johnny didn't quite think so, not as much as she did, but for it's time it was the sexiest accessory she had.

She yawned again, and her eyes began watering. "Ugh," she grunted. "Man, you were talking about my energy before, well... I'm kind of like an airplane. I go fast until I run out of gas, then it's straight down until I crash. I think I should call it a night."

She worked on flagging down the waitress with her credit card in hand, and then stood up and walked across the table. "Okay, this is awkward." With Dixie still sitting, she couldn't figure out how to get a hug out of her without being super weird. "So I need to hug you and stuff, sooo..."

After a moment of indecision, she finally sat down on Dixie's lap and wrapped her arms around her. She gave her a tight squeeze, rocked back and forth once, and then let go and stood up.

"I forgot to ask... Are you gay? Because... If you're not, don't worry, me neither. If you are, then you'll never take me alive."

Dixie started to slide her chair back, to stand and meet Taylor as she moved around the table. But then the girl dropped into her lap, and she couldn't do much but wrap her arms back around her, giving her a tight, warm hug in return.

She looked a little surprised at Taylor's question, but then shrugged and gave her the simple answer. "Yeah, ah am. Don't worry about it though, girl." She grinned, and gave Taylor one last wink. "Ya ain't really my type, so ya ain't got nothin' to worry about."

"Oh! Before ya go!" Dixie made sure to grab her phone out of her pocket, hitting the screen a couple times to bring up her number, then flipped it around so that Taylor could see the screen. "Here. Take my number. Anytime yer wantin' to hang out, or jes' want someone to throw down with in the gym or somethin', gimme a call, alright?"

"Fuck you, I'm not your type! I'm a smoking hot, kick ass blonde chick with a great ass, and I'm amazing in the sack. How the fuck am I not anyone's type?"

Taylor pulled out her phone again and put in Dixie's number. "I'll call it, so you have my number... So Johnny and I live in Hamamatsu. It's like... two hours by train from here, and about the same from Kyoto. We have sort of an open invitation on Monday nights to get together and watch AFW. We have a pretty good setup and stuff. You can come by whenever you-"

Her phone buzzed. She checked it. It was from Cassie.

"When do I get to meet this girl?"

Taylor scowled over her smile and quickly tapped out a reply.

"Never you cunt"

She sent the waitress off with her card and stuck her phone in her back pocket. She gave Dixie a tired smile. "So where's home for you? I'm probably gonna crash at mom's place. I'd just sleep the whole car ride home. Which sucks because I want to do sex to Johnny. You wouldn't understand. It's pretty great that there are no straight girls in AFW, it means I don't have any competition." She began to laugh, but yawned instead.

"Okay, I'm gonna give my boy a ring and finish up with the money. It's been really... Thanks. It seems weird to say, but I'll never forget tonight. Like, I really wish I could tell everyone back in New York, but... I don't really have anyone to tell," she said with a sad laugh that tugged at her heart. "Well, whatever. Oh! One last thing!"

She put an arm around Dixie and got in close to her, and held her phone out in front for a picture. She had a huge grin while she pulled Dixie against her, her head leaning against the cowgirl's shoulder. She quickly sent the picture to Johnny as the waitress came back with her card.

"I'll see you again though, right? So like... see ya later, man. It's been fun."

"Ah'll take ya up on that," Dixie answered with a smile, sliding her chair back and rising up to her feet. She raised hand to her mouth, stifling a soft yawn, starting to feel her own fatigue setting in. It had been a hell of a night. She was sore, and tired, but she was happy. Relaxed even. It had been a good night.

"Ah got lucky. Ah got a pretty decent apartment not too terribly far from the arena. Nothin' fancy, but it's home." She raised her arms up, doing a little stretch, then gave Taylor another little grin. "Ya got yer Johnny to tell all about yer big adventures with the legendary Dixie Clemets." She stopped, looking thoughtful for a moment, then grinned even wider. "Ya shouldn't tell him ya invited me over. See how he reacts when ah walk in yer front door!"

When Taylor came in for the picture, pulling Dixie in close, the Texan threw an arm around her, grinning back into the camera with the younger girl. She then stepped back, giving her a little wave and a nod.

"Course yer gonna see me again. Ah gotta make sure yer takin' care of my hat, right?" she laughed, shaking her head, then turned to start making her way out of the place, looking back at Taylor with a smile.

"Later, girl. Ah'll catch ya around."

"Catch ya later, Big Dix."

Taylor waved goodbye to her new friend, and then went back to her phone. She texted Johnny while she slowly began to pace toward the door.

Going to your moms house. I won't make it home tnight

Such an awesome night! Can't wait to see youuuuuuuu <3
