“Because Mr. Sokolov wants you?” Brook asked.
“What?”
“Sweetie, he was kissing your neck, whispering into your ear and had your body in a vice grip. He towers over you and you looked…well, aroused.”
“What?” She exclaimed drawing some attention towards them.
Brook laughed and grabbed Annabella’s arm. “Sorry, I was envious, of your expression, of the way Sokolov held you. Jesus woman, Maloney is jealous as all hell. You should have heard him carrying on to Aiden.”
“What was he saying?”
“Something about getting the last laugh, I don’t know. We over hear a lot of things but keeping our mouths shut ensure keeping this job and getting big tips.”
“Well hopefully this is behind me.”
“Well what exactly happened?”
“I was with my friends, we were drinking, having a great time and the next thing I know Ched is flirting, staying close and when I came out of the lady’s room, feeling a little tipsy, not drunk, but buzzed, he made a move. I stopped him after he kissed me.”
“He kissed you?”
“He wanted to take me home, the jerk.”
“Oh shit, that isn’t good. No wonder he’s pissed. You know, he’s not a good guy to fool around with.”
“It wasn’t my intention. It happened and I was a little off my game, but I did tell him that it wasn’t happening and that I didn’t want any trouble.”
“What did he do?” Brook asked.
“Annabella nodded toward her wrist. She placed her hand on the bar and pulled back the bracelets.
“Oh shit, Maloney did that?”
“As he threatened me, and basically said I would be his. Roman intervened before it got worse.”
“Roman, Mr. Sokolov’s guard?”
Annabella nodded.
“Then Sokolov makes a move tonight?”
“Nothing more than a strategic action to get Maloney off my back. I’m done with this nonsense. I’m going to focus on working and maybe consider Vincent’s offer of getting some hours over at Carlotto’s since I’m only working here part time.”
“You would do that?”
“Keeping busy, working until I’m about to pass out seems to keep me out of trouble.”
Brook laughed. “Well, if it makes you feel any better, I drank a little too much not too long ago and well, I fooled around with Dante.”
“No.” Annabella asked, eyes wide and feeling shocked.
“I know, I know, it was stupid and I…well, it was so good. The way he kissed me, and held me in his arms, and well, it doesn’t matter. He denied it happened, so I denied it happened and that’s it.”
“So that’s why he keeps eyes on you so much.”
“What?”
“Brook, he watches you all the time.”
