“You lucky bitch.” Payton pointed his hairbrush at Brodie.
“I am.” Brodie waggled his eyebrows at Van.
Van pulled Brodie up off his chair and into his arms, giving him a thorough kiss.
“At least someone is getting their pre-show rocks off,” Iain muttered.
For once, I understood Iain’s frustration.
Van gave Brodie one last kiss. “No more talking; rest your voice.”
“Yes,Daddy,” Payton piped up.
“And with that, I’m leaving,” Van replied, his face flushed as he headed for the door.
Payton finished spraying Iain’s hair, “You’re done, beautiful. Next.”
He motioned for Faise to sit down for his turn.
Payton took a step back, and his heel caught on the cord of the blow dryer. Thankfully, Lennie was nearby and grabbed hold of Payton before he tumbled to the ground.
“Thank you,” Payton gasped as Lennie righted him again.
“No problem.”
Payton stared up at him. “I need my arms back so I can work.”
“Oh, sorry,” Lennie replied, and dropped Payton’s arms, stepping back.
“No complaints here.” Payton smiled at him. “I didn’t catch your name.”
“Len, it’s nice to meet you.”
“You too. If you ever need my services,” Payton pulled out a business card and handed it over.
“Thanks, but I just clip it myself.”
Payton gasped and pulled his card back. “Well, we can’t be friends then.”
Lennie’s confused expression at Payton’s joke made me want to laugh. Len was great at picking out a threat in a crowd, but he couldn’t read a flirtation at all.
“Uh,” Lennie glanced around, looking panicked.
“I’m teasing you,” Payton replied and put the card in Lennie’s jacket pocket.
“Hey, I thought you were flirting withme,” Ronin called out.
“You’re sweet, honey, but not my type.” Payton winked. “Besides, I don’t think Faisel would like that.”
Ronin got up. “Now wait?—”
“We’re not together,” Faise scoffed.
Payton pointed to Faise and then back at Ronin. “Really? I thought for sure that you two?—”
“No!” Faise and Ronin yelled out at the same time.
