“Well, well, look what we have here.” A hipster-looking dude comes up and slings an arm around her shoulders, blind to what he’s walked into. “My hot-ass roommate.”

What the hell?

My temples throb.

Sierra tenses before relaxing when he drags her into his scrawny-ass chest.

“Who the fuck is this?” My voice thunders through the bar, catching the attention of customers around us.

Luckily, there’s a band playing that covers some of my anger.

The dude has the balls to hold out his hand. “Josh.” He cocks his head toward Sierra. “New roommate. New friend. Hopefully, future boyfriend.”

My hands clench.

“Josh,” Sierra drags out in warning. “Now isn’t the time.”

The smirk on the dude’s face drops when he sees the temper in mine.

He pulls away, takes a glance at me, and squeezes her arm. “I’ll be at Kyle’s table.”

“Your new roommate?” I hiss when he walks away.

She nods. “I’m staying with Rex and him.” Her lips twitch into a smile, and I wince at her sudden mood change. “Will you make me a drink? Liz looks busy over there.”

My brows crinkle. “Sure.”

Her smile stays intact as we walk back to the bar. “Tequila.”

I pour her a shot.

She knocks it back. “Two more.”

I pour her two more.

Her smile turns cold. “Thanks. I can’t wait to take these with Josh.” She grabs one in each hand and smirks. “Enjoy Jessa’s gross dinner.”

My eyes stay pinned to her as she walks straight to Josh’s table and hands him the shot, and they take them together.

I march over to Liz. “I’m taking five.”

She nods, her eyes moving to Sierra.

Asshole’s arm is back around her.

Liz squeezes my shoulder. “She’s doing it to piss you off. She wants to hurt you like you did her.”

“I’m well aware.”It’s fucking working.

Molly is crashedout on the couch, and Jessa is in the kitchen, not making shit when I walk into the apartment.

“I warned you not to pull that shit,” I bite out.

My attorney hasn’t come through with the custody paperwork yet, so I’m still tortured by Jessa when I visit with Molly. She came over for pizza before my shift, Jessa’s annoying ass right behind her. We hung out, and she asked to stay and finish the movie we’d been watching. I figured they would’ve left by now.

“What shit?” she asks, playing coy.
