“You think to warn me you’re gonna show in town and hit up my girlfriend at her place of business?” Cap asked.
“Can’t get a proper bead on her if you warn her I’m comin’,” Tex returned. “She’ll try to be all nice and shit. Don’t got time for that garbage.”
He then crunched into a chicharron.
I thought I might have to draw on my health and safety training when his eyes bugged out of his head after he swallowed.
“Fuck!” he bellowed.
Again, everyone in the place turned to look.
“What? Are they okay?” I asked.
“What’s this shit sprinkled on them?” he asked.
“I don’t know. Lucia doesn’t divulge her cooking secrets. Don’t you like them?”
“They’re the absolute shit.” He shoved the entire chicharron in his mouth and munched loudly.
“This isn’t Fortnum’s, Tex,” Cap said between his teeth. “You can’t shout and curse and act like you have no manners because people are used to your shit.”
After Cap said that, his head turned sharply and so did mine.
Again, Tito was right there.
He put a hand on Cap’s arm, took it off right away, and said quietly, “We welcome everyone here, son.”
He then looked around.
Cap looked around.
I looked around.
After the initial curse bellowed through the place grabbed their attention, now, no one was staring or paying us any mind.
Granted, we didn’t have huge men with wild-ass beards and hair who shouted all the time frequenting our establishment (until now).
But Luna, Harlow, Jessie and I worked there.
Not to mention, like I said, you couldn’t take the Wild out of the West.
Just sayin’.
Tito gave Cap a slight bow, one to Tex, then he shuffled back to his table.
“Like that guy,” Tex declared and chomped into a chicharron sideways in his mouth.
“Fucking hell,” Cap muttered.
Luna sidled up. “You guys have lunch?”
She asked this to Eric.
“Yeah, but I wouldn’t say no to a to-go coffee,” he replied.
Harlow shoved her aside, batted her eyelashes and said, “What can I get you?”
Jessie shoved Harlow aside and said, “I make a wicked dragon fruit refresher. Better than Starbucks.”
