“You’re an evil child. Though, I suppose you’re not a child now since you’re riding on the Texas train.”
Groaning, I ran a hand over my face. “Oh my God, Julian.”
He blew me a kiss and headed for the door. “Tootles.” Then he was gone, but it only lasted about five minutes before he was opening the door again.
“Did you forget something?” I asked.
He came in, lips thin, and stepped aside. “This young lady was asking me if Texas works here.”
The woman seemed a few years older than me. She was tall and slim with long black hair and green eyes. She was very attractive, and the jean shorts and tank top she wore clung to her like a second skin.
I smiled, thinking she was an old client from Melbourne. “Hi, Texas does work here. But he’s with a client right now. Did you want me to pass on a message?”
She looked me up and down with her nose raised. My brows dipped, wondering what I’d done to cause her judgy face. I glanced at Julian who shrugged.
“Go and tell him Jules is here.”
“Sorry, but he doesn’t like to be interrupted.”
She glared. “I know what he likes and doesn’t. Just do your job.”
A door opened down the hall, and I prayed it was Hex or Mon. We all glanced that way, and I clenched my teeth when Texas’s client appeared. If Texas was done, he’d come looking for me.
“Hi, Jerry. All done?”
“Sure am.” Jerry showed off his forearm.
I beamed. “Looks amazing.”
“I know. Texas knows what he’s doing.”
The woman suddenly said, “So he’s done. Good, then go get him.”
Jerry turned to this bitch, checked her out, and then turned back to me. “Can I fix my account?”
“You sure can. Give me one second to fire up the computer.” I moved that way and gave Julian big eyes. He returned the look.
“Honey, can I ask why you want to see Texas?” Julian asked Jules.
“None of your damn business, gaybo.”
She did not.
She. Did. Not.
“Excuse me a moment, Jerry.” I smiled and then slapped my palm to the counter. “You.” I pointed at the woman. “How dare you come in here and disrespect people.” I wanted to rip her hair out and throat punch her.
“Just get me Texas—”
“Jules? What the fuck are you doin’ here?”
Her sour face changed in seconds. She smiled and flicked her hair over her shoulder. “Texas. It’s so good to see you.”
“Not sure why you’re here, but you need to leave,” he clipped as he came to stand beside me, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Texas, don’t be silly. Cal and I broke up. I knew you’d want to know. How about we go get a drink somewhere?”
Crossingmyarms over my chest, I glared up at Texas. “Do you want to explain something to me?”
