That evening at the bar, they sat at a table with the two guys talking about the foul ups on their most recent mission. The girls didn't understand a lot of what they were saying and the guys couldn't really get into any explanations. Trish did catch occasional bits of their discussion. Something about their chopper being hit. Being lucky, a firefight, somebody's leg being FUBAR, a hot extract and glad to get out. It was hard to hear very much with the music, noise in the bar and Jill was trying to get all the details about Trish's morning.
The girls noticed a woman slowly walking toward them. She had blonde hair that came down past her shoulders, a very pretty face with dazzling blue eyes and flawless makeup. She had on a sleeveless black dress that looked like it was sprayed on her well-proportioned body, barely covering her. It came down to her upper thighs giving a good view of her stunning legs. The neckline plunged to her mid stomach, displaying an ample amount of her cleavage. She had on four inch heels causing her hips to sway erotically as she moved, enticing most of the guys and several women to watch as she strutted past. She was hot and she knew it.
Brandon and Derrick did not see her as she came up behind them while they were talking. She bent down between them and in a voice sounding like something from a phone sex line, purred "Well if it isn't my two favorite Navy SEALs" as she ran her hands across the back of their necks and onto their shoulders.
Brandon and Derrick both jumped and looked toward the voice, looking straight into her breasts.
Jill and Trish were furious. Trish started to get up, but Jill reached out and took her arm to stop her.
Brandon leaned back, looked at her and his eyes narrowed. "Bree! What do you want?"
Bree pouted, "Oooh Brandon, I haven't seen you in sooo long. I saw you coming in and you and Derrick looked sooo beat up, my heart went out to you. I just had to come over and check on you and make sure you two were alright. I guess these little girls here just can't take care of my guys."
Before either Jill or Trish could find a weapon to dispatch Bree, Brandon said,
"They do just fine taking care of us, more than fine!"
Bree eyed the girls, with a fake smile and in a condescending tone said,
"I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Bree. Brandon and I were, good friends," She smiled at Brandon, then ran her hand down the back of his neck. "VERY, good friends. And you are..."
Jill icily replied, "I'm Jill, Derrick's fiancΓ©e."
Brandon eyes widened, he shot a sideways glance to Derrick to see if this was an effort to shut Bree down, or was a new development that they hadn't heard of yet.
Trish, smiled "I'm Trish, Brandon's girlfriend. I'm glad to finally meet you, I have heard a LOT about you...Now I understand."
Brandon and Derrick nearly burst out laughing. Bree looked pissed, but kept the fake smile and coldly relied.
"Nice to meet you both"
Looking at Brandon she again purred,
"I WILL come by soon, and pick up the last of my things. It was sooo nice to see you again, it's been too long."
She turned, again running her hands over the two guys shoulders and slowly strutted away to the other side of the bar, again being watched by nearly everyone.
Brandon turned back toward the two girls and started to ask Jill about the fiancΓ©e thing, but before he could get a word out Jill glared at him,
"You dated that bitch? What the fuck was wrong with you? I don't care HOW good she was, nothing could offset that personality."
Brandon said, "Well it is a long story and I'm not sure I understand."
Trish was pissed off too, and was feeling more than a little intimidated by the way Bree looked, but decided to let it go, for now. She asked Jill if there was something she wanted to tell everyone.
"Well I guess the surprise is out of the bag now." She said holding up her left hand with an engagement ring.
Trish hugged her best friend and wanted to know when, where, how it happened. Brandon punched his Buddy's arm and said congratulations. He said he was a little surprised that Derrick hadn't said something to him. While the girls excitedly chatted, Derrick said
"Well, I wanted to, but you've been so stressed the last couple of weeks, I didn't think I should bring it up."
Brandon apologized "Yeah, I know. Sorry. I've had a lot on my mind that I had to figure out."
Derrick grinned at him and said, "Wouldn't be some of the same things I was frettin' over would it?"
Brandon felt bad, he really wanted to talk to Derrick about everything, but wasn't sure how he would react. Looking at Trish he said,
"Well it's complicated and I just need to figure out what to do and where we are going."
Derrick nodded, "I understand. You know you can talk to me 'bout anything, no judgment here. I got your back man!" He went on while the girls talked away, "I can tell you though, that girl right there, L-O-V-E-S you buddy, and it's gotta be obvious for ME to see it! I know you are crazy about her too. Don't let that shit that happened with Bree ruin this. You know I'm always up for a beer if you wanna talk sometime."
Brandon nodded and smiled "Thanks Buddy." and they resumed talking with the two girls.
Later that night when they got back to Brandon's place, Trish was very affectionate. She grinned at him as they walked into the bedroom and said
