Chapter Four

It had been a long day, longer than any Jennifer had ever known. In the course of one day she’s been fired, dumped and then hired. A flash of a searing hot kiss came to mind, but she quickly pushed the thought away. It had been a busy day.

“Is that everything?” Crystal said and placed the last of the beer mugs into the sink.

The other woman had pushed her to the limit tonight, but it seemed less to do with being mean and more that they really did need help. Doing all the serving was just too much for one person. It wasn’t like they had major rushes, but they did get some people in.

Maybe Crystal was a tad bossy, but most of the time she seemed more like the boss than the two men who actually owned the place. It was clear she’d had more than her fill of the bar, and even more so the men.

Jennifer stared at her for a moment and then glanced to the table in the back. Eric sat with his face down, and it was obvious he was sleeping.

“Almost,” she said.

Crystal sighed loudly. “Look, I don’t have all night,” she said. “My ride comes in five, and if I’m not ready, he’ll leave.”

“I’ll take you,” Patrick said.

He slid into the seat at the front of the bar nearest to them. His reddish hair and boyish smile made her heart melt a little.

Crystal frowned. “Oh, because that’s going to go over well,” she said. “You think Tommy is going to be fine with that?”

For the first time since she’d met him, his face clouded over, and his mouth formed a tight, thin line.

“I don’t give a shit what Tommy is fine with,” he said. His eyes were fixed firmly on Crystal, and the air sizzled with tension.

Crystal froze. She’d turned her back to him, but the lines of tension in her neck were clearly visible.

“Don’t,” she said quietly.

Jennifer stared between the two of them. It felt like she’d stepped into something much bigger than she could ever guess.

The roar of a motorcycle cut through the air. Crystal turned to the door. Her face a strange mix of anxiety and longing.

“Shit,” she said and quickly sprayed off the mugs.

“I can finish,” Jennifer said before she even knew what was coming out of her mouth.

The blond woman turned to look at her with clear relief in her eyes. It made Jennifer worry. What kind of man could bring out that level of panic? She wanted to help but was she really just letting the woman go to a man that might beat her or something? Surely, Patrick would step in if that were the case.

A harsh breeze swept through the room when the door opened. Jennifer felt her mouth drop open as the model waiter from earlier stepped in. Their eyes met from across the room, and she couldn’t help the smile that came.

“Tommy,” Crystal said.

Tommy strolled to the bar and took a seat next to Patrick, who clearly didn’t want his company.
