“Yeah you did,” he smiles and winks atmewiping his hair with one end of the towel, and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
My jaw clenches as I look down and fidget with my fingers.
Please don’t tell Danny.
Please say you were just looking into space and not actually at me.
Please…
“So we were just talking about Chalene’s job,” Danny trails off.
“Oh yeah,” Jax’s cool demeanor doesn’t waiver as he joins us.
“Yeah it’s too far of a drive and I don’t want her anywhere around that bastard.”
Jax looks at me, “she can work at the golf course.”
My eyes drift slowly his way and I’m caught off guard at his intensity.
“Oh yeah, come work with me for the summer kiddo!”
“Wha-,” I stutter, “What would I do there? And I thought you had to be eighteen.”
“I can waive that requirement,” Jax answers.
Danny looks at me and then at Jax with a smile, "what would she do there?" he laughs.
“We’ll find something…send her in Monday.”
Danny slaps my leg playfully, “see there, we got you taken care of.”
I gulp and force a grin as I nod, “thank you.”
I think.
“Yup. Now both of you get dressed, we’ll go get some dinner,” Jax instructs as he walks out of the room and races up the stairs.
I look over at Danny and he can already tell what I’m going to say.
“What?” He shrugs
“Work at the club?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong with that.”
"Well, what if I mess up or make someone mad? I don't want to put your job at risk."
“Relax kiddo, you’ll be fine. I’m sure of it,” he pats his large hand on my shoulder and for a minute it calms me.
"Hey, Danny," I pause, "how do you even know this guy?"
His eyes pinch together curious why I’m questioning him.
“I mean, I’ve never seen you hang out with him before. How well do you really know him? And is it really okay that we’re staying at his house for weeks?” Angst fills my core as I finally say all out loud.
“What’s will all the questions kiddo?”
I squint my eyes at him and he gives in, “alright, alright. I met him working at the club. He’s the owner’s son. We hit it off. What can I say? He’s kind of gotten to feel like a brother to me.” He falls back on the couch propping a leg on the other.
