CHARLIE

I’m an idiot.

Like capital I-D-I-O-T.

What the hell was I even thinking about giving in to Jackson this morning? It was a mistake. I knew from the minute he pulled out and came all over me like I was some slut he brought home.

I blame the alcohol. I had to have been still drunk this morning. And it was my drunk ass that stupidly decided to crawl into his bed naked last night and then let him fuck me this morning.

I slam my bathroom door shut as I jump into the shower, trying to wash away the memories of him. Maybe I am overreacting but I can’t go down this path with Jackson again. He broke my heart last time and it nearly broke me. And now that he is Jax Knight, there is no way he could stay monogamous. It’s not written in his blood. I know well enough, if he’s done it before, he will do it again.

I rinse my hair out and step out of the shower, wrapping my towel around me. I don’t have much time to get ready. I should already be at the bar. There is a big show tonight and I don’t want it to fall apart before then.

I rush around my house getting ready and notice a text on my phone from last night.

Elijah: We aren’t done.

Great. I don’t want to deal with him too. I grab a mug of coffee and rush out the door.

When I pull up to the bar, it’s past one in the afternoon. I rush inside, tossing my bag behind the bar temporarily and then pouring more coffee in my mug.

“You okay?” Jessica asks me.

“Hmm.” I say as I look at her with a raised brow. “Oh yeah, fine.”

“Okay,” she says sardonically before walking the drink she was making down to the end of the bar.

I look at myself in the mirror, wondering if I forgot to put mascara on one eye, but I can’t see anything out of place.

I take a large gulp of coffee and begin checking the stock of everything in the bar while Jessica serves the handful of customers at the bar. Everything seems to be stocked, so I wait for Jessica to finish pouring drinks so I can go over her plan for the evening.

When she walks over to me, I start talking. “So the doors are opening at six and the show is at seven. I want to make sure you don’t have Molly at the bar. She is too slow when she is overwhelmed. I would say put her as a cocktail server in the back but I don’t think that would work out well.”

Jessica agrees. “Yeah, I am putting her on tables tonight. I have Drew and Nikki working the bar in back. I’m staying late since Sal is sick, so I’ll be here until ten. I’ll watch over this bar and I have Mags and Ryan covering it too. Ryan will always jump back and forth between the two, depending on how busy they get back there.
