I sit across from Ryann at the café just off campus. Less than an hour ago, Cade unknowingly cockblocked me. From the way she gazed up at me before her lips grazed against mine, I could tell she was thinking the same filthy thoughts I was.
âI canât believe you donât like breakfast past nine a.m.â She shakes her head at me. âYouâll never know the joy of driving with your friends in the afternoon to a place that serves breakfast all day and stuffing your face with pancakes.â
As soon as the words leave her lips, the waitress is at our table. She has to be in her mid- to late-thirties, and she has a little too much eyeliner on. âRyann, Iâm guessing you want your usual?â
I look at Ryann, wondering how the waitress knows her name or knows what she wants to eat.
âYes, maâam.â Ryann smiles. âIâll do a coffee with some milk too. I feel like Iâve been hit by a truck.â She looks around. âIs Zoey working?â
âNah, sheâs off today.â She finishes jotting down the order before her eyes move to mine. âAnd what about you, handsome? What can I get you?â
I look at Ryann and wince. âIâm kind of nervous about this, but ⦠Iâll get Ryannâs usual.â I pause, my lips turning up. âEven though I know itâs likely from the breakfast menu.â
âHell yeah, it is,â Ryann chimes. âOnly the best meal ever. Right, Mal?â
âIf you say so.â Mal shrugs, completely unimpressed. âAnd to drink?â
âIâll do everything exactly the same as Ryann,â I tell her, and she slowly walks away.
âSo, Iâm guessing Zoey works here?â I ask. âAnd since you have a regular order, you must come here a lot?â
Mal returns and sets our coffees down, passing us each a little cup of milk before walking off again.
âYeah, sheâs worked here for a while. I used to work here too. Thatâs how I met Zoey.â She reaches for the container of sugar packets; she pulls out a few and rips them open. âI actually loved working here.â
âIf you loved it, why did you stop?â I ask.
I hate the fact that she strips for a living now, but it isnât like I can ask her to quit her job. That would make me a controlling prick. And just from things sheâs said, I know she doesnât want to be controlled. Iâm scared to even voice how I feel about her employment at Peaches. I know how many teammates go there, and it makes me fucking fume inside.
âI wasnât making enough money here,â she says evenly. âAnd when I was approached to work at Peaches, I jumped on it.â She sighs. âThen again, this place never found out my visa wasnât real. Guess I should have just stayed here, huh?â
âDoes it bother you?â I blurt the words out before I have time to even stop myself. âDancing in front of people you donât know? Knowing they are turned on, watching your body move?â I swallow, cringing. âBecause Iâll be honest, Ryann.
