“Yeah, I guess I can if that's what will keep you from calling the cops.”
“D is a friend of mine, I guess you could say. He saw what happened on the dance floor and came to make sure that I was okay after you left the room. And well, one thing led to another, and it ended right where you saw us up against the wall.” I rush out. Once again lying and hoping that he won’t call me on it.
Running his hand through his hair again, he exhales audibly.
“Andy, what part of my office did you two just desecrate, and where the fuck do I need to sanitize before I can work in here again?” He asks while glancing around the room.
“Well, you should probably start with the couch. The floor in front of the couch. The side of your desk that you are leaning on. Oh and the wall where you caught us.”
The look on Jake’s face as he scans the room, looking at all the places that I mentioned, is enough to make me giggle. I don't though. I just hold it in and hold my head high. Yes this may be my boss’s office, but I am a grown ass woman and will not be belittled.
“Well, I'm glad you had a great time here, Andy, but I think after everything you should just head home for the night. You cannot return to the floor in the state that you are in,” he says flatly.
Worried that I will lose my job, I try to argue back with him, but he just cuts me off by holding up his hand.
“You aren't fired. I just can't have a bartender half naked, with her assets falling out all over the bar and covered in blood serving my customers. Talk about a goddamn health code violation. I will collect your tip jar and stash it in the safe until your next shift. I will see you on Wednesday. You can have the rest of the weekend off so that little love bite on your neck can heal." He gestures to where the blood is starting to seep through the shirt he gave me.
“Oh, and when you are done with that shirt, just throw it out. I won’t be wanting it back.”
“Well, okay then, thank you for not firing me. It won't happen again, I swear.”
Going out to the main area, I take a look around and notice that Jake called in one of his daytime bartenders to help with the rush we are having tonight. A pang of jealousy hits me square in the gut because that bitch will be getting all of my tips. All because I couldn't help but taunt the Big Bad Wolf. Rolling my eyes inward, I make my way behind the bar to grab my things.
Just as I grab my purse and turn to leave, I feel a hand wrap around my upper arm, spinning me around. Cassie looks me up and down, stopping at the blood on my shirt.
“Holy shit girl! What in the fuck happened to you back there? I saw security escorting some huge fucker from back there. Did he hurt you too? I swear I will kill him if he did!”
Laughing at her reaction and the thought of this petite little thing trying to take on someone D's size. I pat her hand and pull her fingers from their death grip on my arm.
“Nah, girl. Just had the time of my life after stabbing some douchebag out on the dance floor. Then Jake busted down the door and caught us when that huge fucker had me pinned up against the wall.”
“You have got to be kidding me? How in the fuck did I not know about a guy like that in your life? I thought you told me everything. Or is it a new thing? I need all the details!”
Loving the pout on her lips but hating the pang of guilt brewing in my gut, I wrap my arms around her.
“I love you, Cassie. You are seriously the most badass bitch I know and I am so glad to call you my friend.”
Starting to get a bit teary-eyed, I let her know that I am heading home for the night because D got a little rough with me and bit me too hard. I need a shower before heading out for a run, anyway. I am sticky and covered in both my blood and D’s, and while I love the fact that he is on my skin still, my love to be clean is winning.
Giving her one more hug and a peck on the cheek. I head out for home.
Chapter eighteen
Damien
Itdoesn'ttakelongbefore she is walking out the front door of Jake's Place. Unfortunately for me, she is no longer displaying that sexy body, but a big old shirt that someone must have given her.
Between the bite mark and how badly I fucked up her clothes, she was sure a sight to see. I can just imagine Jake in there, clutching his pearls at the sight of us when he came in.
Chuckling to myself at that thought, I begin to follow Andrea to where she is headed. It’s just after midnight and still technically Halloween, so the streets are more packed than usual. She won’t notice anyone following her tonight, so I don't worry about hiding my presence this time. Just as she turns the corner to head toward the car park, my phone starts ringing in my pocket. Pulling it out, I see that it's Momma Jo calling me back.
“Hey Momma, sorry it is so late. I didn't think that you would call me back tonight. Figured I’d hear from you first thing in the morning.” I say right away. Hoping that I didn't worry her or piss her off.
“Oh no, honey, you are just fine. A couple of the heifers are calving again, so we are all up late tonight making sure they are all good.” She says without pause.
“Well, I hope that what I am about to say isn't about to ruin your night, but,” I start, but she cuts me off.
“Damien, there is no but. I already know what you are about to say, and it's already done.” She says. I think I can even hear a slight smile in her voice.
