KaraNOke || Cece & Roland
By some fucking miracle, Cece had managed to drag Roland out for a night on the town. Granted, his night out on the town probably meant something completely different than Cece’s. But she could meet halfway. Okay, she could at least meet like 35% of the way. That was a good compromise, right?
“This place is super friendly with new faces.” Cece warmed Roland up on the way into the bar, “It’s called Siren’s Serenades. They have live music, friendly faces, good drinks.” She really tried to upsell the place. Sure, she was a bit afraid that she was going to mortify the man so much that he never agreed to come out with her again. But hey, if that were the case at least they had a fun night while it lasted. Or Cece did at least.
“It’s gonna be fun! I promise! You obviously trust me or you wouldn’t have let me drag you out here in the first place.” Cece reasoned, pointing at him and wiggling her eyebrows. She had him cornered. On some level, he must have trusted her enough. Either that or he was so bored he was willing to risk his own sanity to hang out with Cece. She knew what that feeling was like. She pushed into the joint and led Roland over to the bar. She hopped up onto the bar stool and flashed a smile at the bartender, “I need whatever beer you have on special and a margherita.” Then she turned towards Roland, “You want anything?” She asked him innocently, “My treat.”
Once they both had their drinks, Cece was intent on getting some more information out of Roland. “Okay Roland, give me the run down. What do I need to know about you? Besides you hate singing and you like to solve your cases naked in the shower?”
