“Okay, so you’re going to be working as a bartender and you start tonight.”
“Yep. That’s what I said, Chet.”
“But how can they expect you to start today? You literally just went in.”
She ignored me. “I already spoke to your mom, and she says she doesn’t mind watching Eloise tonight. So,” she shrugged, “I need to go and get ready.”
“What are you going to wear?”
“Chet, seriously?”
“I’m just asking. I don’t want you to go dress in all slutty, and then those guys going to think they got a chance.”
“‘Dressing all slutty’?” She raised an eyebrow at me. “What does that mean?”
“I don’t know. Wearing some slutty dress with no bra and no panties.”
“Chet, I’m not trying to seduce every man at the bar. I’m going to wear a bra and I’m going to wear panties. Don’t worry.”
“Hmm,” I said. “Are you sure about this, Arya?”
“I’m sure about this. The last girl that was bartending there made five hundred dollars in one night.”
“Five hundred dollars in one night at St. Rose’s Exclusive Club? Really? Isn’t that place a shithole?”
“No, it’s not a shithole.” She paused. “Well, I mean it didn’t look like the nicest bar in the world, but obviously it’s not a shithole if the bartenders are making that much money.”
“I guess.” I folded my arms across my chest. “I don’t like the sound of this.”
“It’ll be fine.”
“I don’t know,” I said again. “I really do not like the sound of this, Arya.”
“Well, it doesn’t really matter what you think, Chet.”
“Oh, yeah?” I pulled her close and gave her a big kiss on the mouth.
“What are you doing?” she gasped.
“What do you think I’m doing?”
“You can’t just kiss me when and whenever you feel like it.”
“Oh, yeah? Why is that?”
“Because we already agreed that we’re not going to be a thing. You and me,” she pushed her hands against my chest, “are not a thing.”
“Well, I’d beg to differ. I think we are a thing.”
“We’re not a thing, Chet. I already told you I’m not going to pretend—”
“I don’t want you to pretend,” I said.
“What?” she said, surprised.
“I don’t want you to pretend to be my fake fiancée.”
“Okay, well you certainly wanted me to yesterday.”
