“Bullshit, Drew. Be careful.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means,” I say, moving in closer, checking Sam’s whereabouts. “I think Sam has feelings for Kate.”
“Of course he has feelings for Kate, you dick.”
I recoil.
“But the stubborn fucker won’t admit it.” Drew shrugs, slurping his beer. “Neither will she. She thinks she wants to dabble.” He smiles, a rare, smug smile. “So I’m here to help.”
Oh no. “By fucking her?” Makes perfect fucking sense.
“Aren’t they pissing you off?” he asks. “All I keep hearing isjust fun. Give me a fucking break. If there’s something there, I’ll make sure they both realize.”
I laugh, and it dries up when Sam appears. “What’s going on?”
“Nothing,” Drew and I say in unison, both sinking our drinks. If it didn’t sound really weird, I’d say I’d like to be there and watch that happen. Not the fucking. The moment Sam realizes and stops Drew putting his dick in Kate. Jesus Christ, this isn’t going to end well.
Ava catches my eye, trying to get my attention. “What’s up, baby?”
“Nothing.” She motions to the exit. “I’m just going to use the ladies’.” She hops down and gets her purse, giving me her hand when I silently ask for it. I kiss the top. “I won’t be long.”
“Okay.” I watch her go with Kate, smiling at her bare back. And growling when I see another member admiring her too.
“Is it ten thirty yet?” Sam asks, distracting me from teaching the guy a lesson on manners when it comes to staring.
“No,” I snap, giving him a tired look. Poor fucker has no idea what’s coming. “God, you’re a dick.” I turn to Mario for some more water, hearing Drew chuckle.
“What happened with Coral?” he asks, settling on the stool Ava just vacated, Sam moving in too, eager for the details.
“Mike. It was him who called the police and now he’s playing nasty with Coral.”
“Fucker,” Drew grunts.
“So what did you do?” Sam asks, interested.
“About Mike? Nothing.” I’m still considering my options. “About Coral? I’ve lent her some money and sent her to a hotel for a few nights.” Both men recoil, alarmed, and I look between them. “What?”
“And you calledmea dick?” Sam laughs.
“What the fuck was I supposed to do?”
“Um.” Drew starts waving. “Bye.”
“Leave a woman to sleep on the street? No money, no food?”
“Jesus, Jesse. I thought you were a smart man.” Drew shakes his head and gets down off his stool, joining a group in the corner.
I frown and Sam sighs. “It’s commendable, mate, but I think she’s leading you down the garden path.”
“You didn’t see her,” I snap, taking my water and drinking. “She was in a state. I couldn’t leave her like that, and I definitely didn’t want her shouting her mouth off with Ava around. I want to explain to Ava myself, not have her hear it from—”
“Anotherwoman who’s in love with you?” He shakes his head in despair, and I look over my shoulder, wondering what’s taking Ava so long.
“Don’t worry,” I muse, thoughtful. “They’re dropping like flies.”
“So you’ll talk to Ava?”
