Never Really Meant It When We Said 'Goodbye'

The Birthday Gift (1.5)

A/N: y'all better strap in cause this one's a fun one

Amber was smiling from ear to ear after Sabrina's show. The entire thing was so great and she felt so happy to have had this opportunity. At some point, the pop artist actually invited Tara out on stage as part of her performance for Taste, and Tara's long and unexplained disappearance from the group was explained, taking away the confusion from everyone. But, Amber had a feeling that there was more to it than just her appearance in the performance, given that the longing, guilty and pained looks that were shared by Tara weren't for nothing. The ravenette knew she definitely went to see Lily and had a talk with her, which on its own was fine, but the idea of what that talk could've been about or how it went was eating at Amber's mind. The sergeant said nothing on the matter, though neither did Lily, but the tension between them, along with the closeness, didn't ease the odd feeling in the ravenette's chest, only making her wonder if her suspicions about something else going on were true.

The club they went to was mostly exclusively to those with money. At first, Amber thought it was because Lily and Sabrina were very well known people and should be kept safe, but when she was told that they decided on the club simply because it was her birthday and she deserved to have the best experience, she was pleasantly surprised and shocked. Regardless, though, she was having a grand time, especially getting to know Sabrina and Lily and learning more about them, how they got into music, and all of the fun and interesting adventures they have been with on tours and during their college years with Tara, Liv and Mindy. It seemed like they were truly the most craziest people ever, going off from the stories of the many dumb and somewhat dangerous decisions they've made, but that was what made this all the more fun and exciting.

It was also especially interesting to listen to Sabrina talking about her infamous fling with Shawn Mendes and explaining exactly what happened with him and her and the little love triangle she'd found herself in with his ex girlfriend. Apparently, Sabrina's problem wasn't really with Camila, but more so with Shawn, who instead of being truthful with her kept lying to her for months on end, talking about how he'd moved on from Camila and wasn't ever going to get back with her. Camila really wasn't the one to blame, according to Sabrina, they both just so happened to date a guy who was a liar and a manipulator, which was a story of its own. It kind of made sense, though, as Amber never really got good vibes from him to begin with. His fan girls would hate to hear the truth, though, along with all the Shawmila shippers. What really mattered now, though, was that Sabrina was happy with Barry, who despite having had so many rumors about him get spread on the internet, turns out to be a very loving and caring guy, and an even better father to his kid. And sue Amber for this, but she had to ask what Sabrina saw in him as he didn't really seem as a very attractive guy to begin with. I guess his character and his dick did the trick for the blonde pop artist, and who could blame her?

It also turned out to be that the three women, excluding Liv and Mindy because they were in relationships with their forever partners, were quite the players in college, which made sense for the most part, it's just always going to be a shock to know that Tara fucked around quite a lot in college. Can't really blame her for it, though, college is typically the time to fuck around and do whatever the fuck you want. When else if not then, given that after you're hit with a ton of adult responsibilities to take care of. Fucking around in college is the ultimate experience, too.
"I'm still surprised that you ended up having sex with that girl, though!" Mindy exclaimed as they all got into a conversation about some of the most memorable hook ups the women had during their college years. This one was about some girl that Tara hooked up with and how she quite literally asked her to spit on her and if she was comfortable, piss on her, too.

"That was pretty weird, but in my defense, at that time, a fuck was a fuck and I did not care. And, I'm not the one that has the worst sexual experience out of the three of us. Lily's is way worse!" Tara said, bursting out in laughter as she did.
"Hey now, men are weird!" Lily said, face becoming a crimson shade of red. "How was I supposed to know he was into cock and ball torture? Or that he had a thing for pegging?! Like, if I knew, I probably wouldn't have fucked him."
"You still had sex with him after he told you he wanted you to perform some cock and ball torture, though." Sabrina pointed out, high fiving Tara.
"Fuck both of you." The woman fell back into the booth, shaking her head as she crossed her arms. "I wanted to get fucked, so I got fucked. End of story."
"Fair, but wait, are y'all telling me that Tara was a touch-me-not back in the day?" Anika asked.
