I DON’T LIKE the way Derek is staring at Harper. A chuckle escapes him as she makes her way over to our table. “Oh, this is gonna to be fun.”

I want to ask him what he means by that, but she’s already at our table.

“Hey, Harper,” Derek drawls. “I didn’t know you work here.”

“I didn’t know you were keeping tabs on me.” She bats her eyelashes.

“Don’t flatter yourself, girl.” He barks out a harsh laugh. “I don’t double dip.”

Harper winces, and I shove back from the table so hard my chair tips over. Grabbing Derek by the collar, I growl, “Don’t you ever talk to her like that again.”

“Dude, it was joke.” He lets out an uneasy chuckle.

I don’t find it funny. “Apologize to her.”

“Are you serious?”

“Very,” Dylan says from behind me before tapping me on the shoulder and gesturing for me to let go and sit down. “Apologize now, Derek,” Dylan continues, “or I’ll ban you from coming in here for good. After I call Beverly and tell her how you disrespected one of my female staff.”

Beverly is Derek’s grandma and a close friend of Mimi’s. She’s sweet, but when one of her boys steps out of line, Miss Beverly switches from an old-fashioned Southern lady to Madea faster than you can say, “Hell-er.”

Derek’s eyes go wide with fear. “Jesus, it was a joke.” He looks over at Harper. “I’m sorry.”

“Apology accepted,” she says softly, her cheeks flushed, before she turns and hurries off toward the bathroom.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” I say to Derek.

He shakes his head. “Dude, I was just messing with her because I know she hates me.”

“I wonder why,” Carter deadpans.

“You’re an asshole.” Justin snorts.

“What happened?” Ashton asks from behind me.

I say, “Nothing” at the same time as Derek replies with “Cole’s got his panties in a twist over Harper.” He winces as he stands from the table, knowing what’s coming next.

“What!” Ashton screeches.

I open my mouth to tell her to calm the eff down, but Carter beats me to it. “Ashton, shut up.”

“I was being a dick,” Derek explains as he stands from the table. “I’m gonna go apologize, again.”

Nice save, Derek. Maybe I’ll reconsider knocking your teeth out.
