Chapter 13

Bliss’s curiosity was getting the better of her. She followed Chase into the Waverly Inn, wondering what it was all about. He’d called a meeting with Corey, J.T., and Dee, telling them all he had something important to talk about. When Bliss and Chase arrived at the round table, everyone was already there, enjoying a bottle of wine.

Chase let go of her hand and held her chair out for her. “Damn! Y’all couldn’t wait for us? Bunch of drunks,” he chided as he smiled and sat down.

J.T. leaned over and poured wine for him and Bliss, and then he shook the bottle to let him know it was empty. “There were only five drinks in this damn bottle. That ain’t enough to get me drunk…” He glanced sideways at Corey and Dee. “Or these lushes either.”

Dee waved her hand at him. “Be quiet, J.T. Chase knows how we do.” She smiled at Bliss. “It’s nice to see you again, honey. How are things down at the club? They workin’ out okay?”

Bliss nodded. “It’s going okay. Everything’s on schedule for the opening next Saturday.”

Dee picked up her wine and sat back in her seat. “Damn, that’s quick, honey.” She sipped her wine and turned her eyes to Chase. “Don’t you think so? You didn’t just throw the shit together, did you?”

Chase gave her a biting little look. “No, I didn’t just throw the shit together, Dee,” he said sarcastically.

“Don’t get your drawers in a twist with me. It was just a question.”

“Everything’s cool, Dee. It’s been inspected, it’s up to code, and we got the liquor license straightened out. It’s all good,” J.T. interrupted to avoid an argument.

“Yeah, Dee. Why would Chase want to put a rush on Cyrus’s club? They got enough shit goin’ on between them already,” Corey said, looking at Dee like she was trying to start trouble.

Dee smiled at him and patted his cheek. “Poor Corey. You’re so sweet. I know you want Chase and Cyrus to get along, but you know as well as anybody at this table that it will probably never happen. A snowball’s got a better chance in Hell. You also know as well as I do that Chase would do a rush job just to fuck Cyrus without really fucking him.” She paused and looked at Chase. “Don’t look at me like that. You know I ain’t lying. Now, anybody else want a real drink? To Hell with this goddamned snooty-ass wine.” She signaled for the waiter.

Bliss looked at Chase, who was looking at Dee like he was holding back a frown. Dee was looking back at him with subtle defiance. A glance at J.T. and Corey told Bliss they were watching the whole thing like a tennis match. She frowned herself. Maybe it’s time I really get to the bottom of this situation with Cyrus and Chase.

The waiter arrived and took their drink orders. Chase had his Rémy, Dee had a double Grey Goose, and J.T. and Corey selected Hennessey. Fuck it, Bliss thought.
