Nic could not help it as a pang of jealousy swept through when he saw Sandra press her head to Declan's chest at the bar. It was brief as he knew it was just a friendly gesture on her part. It came back though when Alistair joined them and hugged her. Again it past just as quickly he just could not help the initial emotional response.<br/><br/>A smile spread across his face when all three started back towards the pool table. Sandra had her glass probably her favorite drink, a Long Island Ice Tea, Tony, the bartender, was a master at making them. He occasionally liked them himself and had learned early on as he became old enough to go to bars that if the bartender hesitated when one was ordered to just get a beer, but Tony knew what he was doing. She also had a sweating bottle in her other hand. She got to him and handed the bottle to him, which he gratefully took. Before he could take his first drink though she swept under his arm for a hug, which he did not hesitate to return even with a beer in one hand and pool cue in the other. Oh she felt so good with her body pressed to his.<br/><br/>At her question and teasing he laughed lightly. “Babe? Guys night in means we're bored and have nothing better to do. You are always welcome to interrupt that. Party? How could we party without you? You are the life of any party we have, there is no party without you.” He reluctantly let her slip from his arms as Declan handed her his cue and offered to let her break and choose the teams. To cover the disappointment at losing her from his arms he took a long pull from his bottle.
