Chapter 13

Jude

I watch my little Presh work the bar, and finally glance over and notice her brother Drew watching me, watching her. Wellll shit. Better get this over with. I walk over, and put my hand out to introduce myself.

“Hi, I’m Jude. Your sister is amazing and I want to date the shit out of her.” His lips barely twitch. Tough crowd.

“Drew. I’ve noticed an extra pep in her step, so I don’t immediately dislike you. However, don’t screw it up, because if you piss me off I’ll find a legal way to tear your ass up.”

“Noted.” He nods, and smirks.

“You got balls, I’ll give you that.”

“Ha, well, I’m not one for bullshit. I like her. A lot. And I will continue to remind her of that, and how awesome she is, for as long as she needs, as much as she needs.”

“So, you get it then?”

“Her douchebag ex?”

“Yeah. Fucking Craig.”

“Ew. His name is Craig? No wonder.” At that I actually get a chuckle.

“I know, right?” I like this guy.

“But yeah, I get it. At least from the tiny bit she’s told me. She’ll open up more when she’s ready I’m sure, but in the meantime I’m here to be whatever it is she needs me to be.” Drew is studying me seriously.

“Jude, how long have you known Kara?”

“Not long at all. Barely, actually. Why?”

“Well, ‘barely’ is a very short amount of time to fall in love with someone.” My eyes grow wide and I feel panic slick up my back and into my throat, but Drew continues on. “Don’t worry man, if you haven’t figured it out yet, you will. And your secret is safe with me.” Holy shit. Is this guy for real? What is happening? I feel so exposed, and so…Love? It’s not love. Not yet. I mean yes, I’ve self-proclaimed that she is it for me, that I pretty much want to marry her and make babies with her, and I hope they get her dimple, but that doesn’t mean I love her yet. That would be insane. I do like her a lot though. More than a lot.

Shut up, it’s not love yet. It can’t be. That’s stupid. I just know she’s like my person and stuff. I can’t explain it. Stop questioning me. This is stupid. Drew is stupid. I won’t tell Kara that because apparently, he’s supposed to be this really smart lawyer and everything, but obviously he cheated on the LSATs.

I’m shaking my head at him, myself, the whole situation when I realize the people at the are beginning to cheer, and clap. I look over to Kara behind the bar and she’s putting on quite the show with her shakers. I’ve never seen this bit of her. Yes, she handed me my ass when I scoffed at the notion that there was an actual difference between bartenders and mixologists, but I still didn’t quite buy it.

However, this girl right here? She’s a damn entertainer. I’m finding myself glued to her every
