Ralphie grabbed his face and stared at me.
“Now you’re going to sit the fuck down and shut your fucking mouth,” I said. “One more word out of you and I’m going to walk back over here and rip your little dick off and make you eat it. Do you understand me?”
Ralphie sat down on a barstool and nodded. “Yes…”
“Yes…? Yes, what?”
“Yes… ma’am…”
I turned on my heels and walked all the way around the bar to my seat.
Joe waited for me, arms folded, a smile on his face.
“Okay, that was good,” Shayna said. “I wasn’t sure about you at first. But you’re drinking for free. In fact, can I hire you?”
I looked at Shayna and pointed. “And you. You want to act like a jealous cunt because I’m here? You want to fuck Joe that bad? Work for it. Earn it. I’m happy you have nice tits, but do something more, okay?”
Shayna’s face turned bright red.
Joe stepped in front of me and placed his huge, strong hands to my shoulders.
“Holy fuck, baby,” he said. “You’re really cutting loose tonight.”
“No. I’m losing my mind tonight, Joe.”
“Because of me?”
“Because of everything. That’s why. I’m straddling two lines here, Joe. Okay? The professional side of me? Congrats on not killing those two guys. You calmed yourself down. Way to go.”
“Does that mean you’ll sign off on letting me play hockey again?”
“No,” I said.
“Fair enough.”
“There’s another side here, Joe. The casual side. Asking myself what the hell am I really doing here?”
“That part is easy, Anna.”
“Oh?”
“You’re here because of what happened. Are you ready to talk about it?”
“Talk about what?”
“Oh, come on, Anna. You and that limp dick loser. I was right there. I heard it all. The guy cheated. He broke your heart.”
I scoffed. “Broke my heart? Yeah. Okay.”
I started to move and Joe blocked my way. “What does that mean? He didn’t break your heart? Were you two even serious? Talk to me.”
I shook my head. “No, Joe. I’m not going to divulge about my relationships. Got it?”
“So we can’t just talk now?”
“You called me here to help you, didn’t you?”
“I don’t know why I called you here. Maybe I just missed you. Maybe I just wanted to lure you here for a drink. Maybe I wanted to tell you about Shayna flirting with me to see what it would do.”
