Taylor had a little time to shower and be ready for dinner with Tamara. They were going into town to a new nightclub; the drive was a quick one. They hadn’t even had a chance to catch up on things until they placed their order and while sipping on drinks Taylor told Tamara everything that had happened on her ride with Terri. 

“She spoke just five words and grew frustrated. You could see how hard it was for her to talk without getting mad. She talks just fine when she’s pissed off," Taylor said. 

"That’s why she always seems mad! To think she’s been here now ‘bout six months and I’ve never really noticed it. She came highly recommended by a friend from the Rodeo Circuit. I hired her without actually talking to her. She showed up. I showed her where she’d be staying and that was that. I just thought she hated the world. Never took the time to get to know her. Jesse is the only one she'll talk to and she doesn’t give up much info. So how’d the lunch go?" Tamara grinned. 

"We ate, not much was said. One step at a time, but by spring I’ll bet you she’s talking a blue streak to me." Taylor's eyes flashed dark green. 

"What do you wanna bet? I don’t think you’ll break this one." Tamara shot back. 

"I’m not saying I’ll break her as you put it but I think there’s a connection here. And I know she felt it as well. It’s in her eyes, wait and see. I’m telling you it’s there. Now I’ve just got to make her see it.”  

Taylor’s breath caught as she saw Terri walking toward the pool tables. She had on black Levi’s that covered the long legs like a second skin, her always-present black Stetson, and nothing more than a black leather vest for a shirt. Her arms were well muscled from long, hard working days. A gold belt buckle shined bright against the black jeans. Taylor held her breath as Terri tipped her head back and drank from a bottle. She watched the muscles ripple as she walked toward a group of women playing pool, only to see her kiss a taller woman. She felt a jealous twinge in her heart as Terri pulled away smiling. 

"TAYLOR!!!" Tamara had to almost yell at her, "HEY, stop staring. Damn you’re going to drop dead if you don’t start breathing soon.” She grinned at Taylor. 

"Shut up. Maybe she won’t know we're here.” Taylor was ready to leave. Tamara put a comforting hand on her arm. 

"Too late. She’s been staring at you from the bar for about twenty minutes now." 

"Ok then I’ll just...shit I don’t know. I feel like a kid in high school with her first crush.” She grinned at Tamara as she ordered another drink. 

"Then go ask her to dance." Tamara grinned even wider at the look she got from her best friend. “Look just relax and enjoy the sight. No sudden moves or she’ll bolt on you. We could move into the bar if you want. You’ll still be able to see the pool tables from there.” 

"Well I’m done eating anyway so that actually sounds like a good idea.” Taylor grabbed her drink and headed for the bar with a giggling Tamara behind her.

*****

Terri walked into the bar and stopped to order a drink letting her eyes adjust to the smoky dim light. That’s when she spotted Taylor and her boss quietly talking. She felt that hot feeling again; feelings she had buried deep inside, feelings she had hoped to never have again for anyone. Not knowing what to do, she just soaked up the sight of the beautiful red head eating dinner.  

Taylor had on a low cut, white sleeveless shirt. Black jeans hugged the sexy legs that were neatly curled under her. Terri could feel herself getting hotter. She decided to move on to the pool tables where Jesse and a few of her friends were playing. Besides she knew Tamara had spotted her. 

Terri spotted Tiny, CJ, and Rose playing pool with Jesse. She was greeted by Tiny with a wild kiss. They had dated on and off for quite some time. It was nothing more than a satisfaction for both of them, no strings attached and Terri liked that about Tiny. CJ and Rose had been together for years. Although Jesse didn’t have a girlfriend, she had several good prospects in the waiting. 

The night passed quickly. Terri had popped outside to check the weather to see if it had started to snow again.  It had and looked as if it wasn’t going to let up. She was glad she had brought the four-wheel drive tonight, as she would need it to get home in the morning if she didn’t stay with Tiny. Shaking off the cold damp snow Terri went back in side.

***************

Terri pulled Tiny on to the dance floor. Wrapping Tiny in her arms they danced slowly to the music. Terri noticed Taylor dancing too close to someone she didn’t recognize just as the song ended and Tiny begged off another one. She left Terri standing on the floor as the next slow song started to play. Wynonna crooned “The Kind of Fool Love Makes” over the dance floor.  

Taylor walked by and Terri spun Taylor around into her arms, pulling her in tight. The strong arms holding her startled Taylor. She could feel Terri’s warm breath on her neck and she moaned softly. 

“What brought this on?” Taylor asked. 

“Shhhh, don’t think, just go with it,” Terri’s voice dropped lower, filled with passion. She pulled Taylor in tighter, kissing her neck. The heat of Taylor’s body rubbing up against hers sent Terri’s heart beating faster. Taylor moaned when she felt Terri’s mouth on her neck, tilting her head she pulled Terri’s lips down to meet hers. Terri returned the kiss, deepening it when Taylor invited her into the warmth of her mouth. Terri shuddered at the response she got from Taylor. She opened her eyes and melted into the sight of Taylor’s deep green. Taylor opened her mouth to say something but Terri stopped her with a searing kiss. 

The song ended, breaking into a fast two-step. Terri brought her arms from Taylor’s lower back, to frame her face. Leaving her with one more hard kiss, Terri turned and walked to the bar. 

Taylor’s hand came to her mouth.  It was hot and bruised by the heat of those kisses. She walked back to the table where Tamara sat. 

“Not one word if you know what’s good for you, Tamara. Just get me a double shot of tequila, I’ll be right back.” She walked into the bathroom to splash cold water on her face. She knew this woman would be her downfall and she had to have her soon. Taylor looked at herself in the mirror. She touched up her lipstick, washed her hands in cold water, running some down her neck to try and cool herself off. She lost count of how much she had to drink, but if they didn’t head for Tamara’s car soon she knew she was going to be hurting in the morning.

Last call came too soon. Terri had won a hundred bucks on pool. It went back and forth between the small group every time they met at the pool tables.  

Terri knew she’d be going back to Tiny's for the night just by the looks she was getting from her. They said good night to the rest of their friends and went to Terri’s truck as Tamara's little BMW screamed by. ‘Shit she’s goin’ to put it in the ditch yet.’ Terri caught a glimpse of Taylor smiling at her. She groaned inside. That’s whom she wanted to be going home with. But she knew Tiny was waiting, shaking her head clearing those thoughts from her mind, she climbed up into the truck. 

She pulled out of the parking lot onto the highway and headed for Tiny's house. Not more than a mile down the road she spotted Tamara's BMW in the ditch.

"Damn it," she muttered under her breath. “This won’t take long, Tiny. I better stop an’ see if they’re alright." 

She pulled her truck off the road and hit the flashers. Climbing down she stalked toward the little car. It was buried deep in the snow and she knew that her truck couldn’t pull it out without damaging the tiny car. They’d need a tow truck. ‘Just my luck.’ Terri yanked open Tamara's door and was treated to a loud burst of giggling. 

“What the hell do ya think you’re doin’, Tamara Lynne?” Terri growled. 

"Why Terri we were just discussing you." Tamara slurred, Taylor went silent for a second waiting for the explosion from Terri. 

"Go get in the truck...NOW. I’ll call a tow truck and have them tow your car back to the ranch. MOVE IT.” she snarled at them. 

With a tow truck on the way she left the keys on the dash and stalked back to her truck. She climbed in only to find herself face to face with Taylor and one pissed off looking Tiny sitting on the other side next to the door with Tamara in between her and Taylor.  

She drove to Tiny’s house and got out. 

” Wait here you two!” she snapped at Tamara and Taylor. 

"Tiny I’m sorry I’ve got to take them back to the ranch.” she moved towards Tiny, but backed away..... 

"Never mind Terri, Just go on home. I’ll see you at the bar sometime." Tiny's voice trembled. 

"I’ll call you later." 

"Don’t bother Terri, I’ll see you again at the bar.” With that Tiny stomped into the house and slammed the door in her face. 

The ride back to the ranch was not fun for Terri, Taylor had passed out in her lap, and Tamara sang at the top of her lungs all the way home. 

"Ok you lush, this is where you say good night and go to bed Tamara, I’ll make sure Taylor gets to her bunk. But you can bet you OWE me BIG TIME!!" 

After letting Tamara off in front of the main house, Terri pulled her truck between her cabin and Taylor’s.  

She picked Taylor up into her arms, slid out of the truck and headed for her cottage. 

”Taylor, where’s your keys?” Still pissed at how her night had ended Terri snapped at her but got no response.  Her keys were in her pocket.  The night couldn’t get any worse.  Terri turned and headed for her own cabin. She laid Taylor on her couch and headed to bed. This night was a total loss. 

Well almost, the door shoved open and in walked Taylor.  She stepped out of her clothes and got into bed with Terri, who by this point, froze as she could see Taylor’s shadow in the light seeping in from the living room. Terri didn’t move or even breathe as she felt strong arms close around her and pull her close.  ’Ok Terri, she’s drunk, has no clue she’s in bed with you.' Terri talked to herself hoping that Taylor would settle down and drift off to sleep.
