Chapter Thirteen

Cody

After working until almost three in the morning and then starting a new shift at ten I was tired. When Tristan had asked to switch shifts I’d almost said no, then I’d realized I would be able to spend the entire evening, and maybe the night, with Isaac and Jonah if I did.

Then Jonah had asked to take us out, and my mind couldn’t stop thinking that it was a date. I wasn’t nervous per se, but I was a little freaked out. I’d never gone on a date before and I wasn’t sure how to act. Were we going to pretend we were just three friends having dinner, or was this an actual date where we acted like a couple, or a trio in our case.

I didn’t like being the center of attention, and hated when people stared at me. I loved spending time with Isaac and Jonah, but being out in public would put a spotlight on us if we didn’t act like we were only friends.

I knew I was overthinking and worrying too much. Layla constantly told me that worrying was a down payment on a debt I may never owe, but it was hard to stop my mind from spinning.

Jonah, Isaac and I were together. We were all dating and I shouldn’t give a fuck what anyone else thought about us. I was in love with Isaac, I was falling for Jonah, and I was happy. Nothing else should matter.

“Earth to Cody.”

“What? Sorry.” I pushed back my hair as I turned toward the voice that had jarred me out of my musings.

“You okay, man? You’re a million miles away.” Rhys gave me a critical look as he leaned against the bar.

It was still early enough that the happy hour crew had yet to arrive so we were experiencing a bit of a lull.

“I’m fine, just confused.”

“What about?”

“Nothing.”

“Cody.” Rhys paused as he looked at me, almost as though he was choosing his words carefully. “You know you can talk to me about anything, right? I may be a bit of a dick and crack jokes all the time, but if something’s on your mind, you can tell me.”

I looked at Rhys and bit my lip.

It was true that Rhys was a bit of an ass with an acerbic sense of humor and a tendency to make jokes to cover up uncomfortable situations, but he was a good guy and he was my friend. He’d proved that more than once.

When I’d first started working at The Den a customer had started harassing me. He’d show up when I was working and make lewd comments as I cleared dishes and kept busy. I’d ignored him, but one night he’d followed me out of the bar when my shift had been over. Rhys had noticed and chased after us.

The man had just grabbed my arm and was trying to pull me into the alley next to the bar when Rhys had come running up. He’d gotten the guy off
