“Yo,” I answered.
“What the fuck?” he asked.
“It’s all cool,” I told him. “He seems nice. But he talks really loud.”
I heard him swear under his breath and then, back to me, he said, “I should have warned you. My crew has big mouths. And they’re nosy as fuck.”
“Honestly. Like I said, it’s all cool.”
“It’s not cool my crew just drops in on you while you’re working, Raye.”
“How fresh are the chicharrones?” Tex hollered all the way across the space from his seat at a back wall.
Everyone turned to look.
“Super fresh!” I hollered back.
“Could munch on some a’ those while Nance is deciding!” He was still hollering.
“On it!” I was still hollering too.
“Christ,” Cap said in my ear.
“Gotta go. See you later,” I said to him.
“Raye—”
I disconnected and hit the register to punch in the chicharrones order.
I noted Tito’s pumpkin-orange-framed sunglasses trained on Tex.
Tex noted it too.
“Yo!” he greeted.
Tito tipped his panama hat to Tex then to Nancy and went back to his book.
When I took their chicharrones to them, I told them, “The guy in the corner is Tito. He’s my boss, and he owns the place.”
“Right on, man!” Tex boomed at him then flicked a finger out to indicate the space.
Tito looked at him again and dipped his chin.
“He doesn’t say much, but he’s a super sweet guy,” I informed him.
I knew Tex took this in, but then his gaze went beyond me and his back straightened.
I turned to see Cap stalking to the table, Eric following him.
Eric was looking around.
Cap was homed in on Tex.
Oh man.
I made an approach and tried to waylay him but there was no waylaying going to happen, so, with the arm he put around my waist when I made it to him, he essentially dragged me to Tex and Nancy’s table.
“Yo, Cap,” Tex said casually when we got there.
