Sage plopped down on her barstool, defeated.
I slowly sat back down. “I just need to know. Just in case.”
“Psst,” Steph said to Sage loudly. “I think he wants to get into your panties. So tell him what’s up.”
“You tell him about Tad,” Sage said.
“Oh, you want a story?” Steph asked, looking between Sage and me. “I bought a bed frame from his stupid store. And he had the nerve to tell me there was a ten percent discount available for close friends. Meaning, if I sucked his dick, he would have given me a discount.”
“Are you serious?” Sage asked.
“What the fuck?” I asked. “Someone needs to rearrange his jawline.”
“Go for it, stud,” Steph said to me with a wink. “Now, you two stop bothering me. Because the next time I come over here, I’m bringing up the idea of a threesome.”
Steph blew us a kiss and walked away.
I looked at Sage.
“Don’t even get that look on your face. That excited look.”
“I’m not… not over that…”
“Oh? You’ve had so many threesomes in your life, you’re sick of them?”
I reached for Sage, my hand finding the small of her back, pulling her toward me.
“You know, watching you get jealous is kind of cute,” I whispered.
“Yeah? That’s nice. Maybe I should make you jealous. Maybe I should go flirt with the guy behind you. He’s been looking at me. What are you going to do about it?”
“Are you trying to get me to beat someone up?”
“What if I am?”
“Call your husband. He’s a furniture guy? Tad? My love…?”
Her nostrils flared. “Listen to me, Henry. I am not married. Tad is a moron. I am single. Okay? I don’t care what anyone thinks or calls me. This is a small town. It’s hard to get away from certain people. But I am completely single. Unless I decide to be with the guy behind you.”
I looked over my left shoulder.
There was a guy sitting solo at the corner of the bar.
He looked at me. “Got a fucking problem?”
“Nah,” I said. “Just looking around.”
“Look somewhere else,” the guy said. “Unless you want me to make you look somewhere else.”
“How are you going to do that?” I asked.
“Maybe I’ll just gouge your fucking eyes out,” the guy said as he stood up.
Holy shit, this is moving quick…
“Listen, buddy, you must be having a really bad day,” I said. “I get that. I had a funeral today.”
“Yeah? You’re going to have a funeral tomorrow. Your own.”
