Chapter 29

Tilly

I stand to the side as Sebastian talks to two police officers in uniforms. They arrived within minutes after the fight ended.

Sebastian hauled the guy who had hit him to his feet and handed him over to one of the officers who placed handcuffs on him. By that time, the drunken jerk was sobbing about how sorry he was and that he didn’t want his parents to find out what he’d done.

I listened to the bartender explain that she was the one who called 9-1-1 to report that a policeman had been punched in her bar. The squad car came screaming down the street with the siren blaring and lights flashing.

“Just throw him in lockup overnight, Tim.” Sebastian pats the back of one of the uniformed officers as the other leads the handcuffed man out of the bar. “He needs to sober up.”

“It looks like he got you pretty good.” Tim raises his chin. “Do you need to be checked out?”

Sebastian shakes it off with a wave of his hand in the air. “No broken bones. It’s just a little blood.”

It’s more than a little. The blood that trailed onto his shirt also splattered on the lapels of his jacket. He wiped most of the blood from his face with a few paper napkins the bartender handed him.

Tim turns toward the doorway. “You’re a better man than me, Detective. I wouldn’t let him off so easy.”

Sebastian chuckles. “I’m considering sending him my dry cleaning bill.”

“I feel like I should take care of that for you.” The bartender takes a few steps so she’s standing next to Sebastian as Tim leaves. “None of this would have happened if you weren’t defending my honor. I’m Chelsie by the way.”

Sebastian’s gaze skims her face. She’s cute. Her hair is red, her body curvy. She’s definitely the same type physically as Wendy.

“It’s my job to step in if I notice a disturbance.” He swipes another napkin under his nose. “You should think about security if this is a regular occurrence.”

“I’m just about to close up for the night.” She looks around the bar. A lot of the patrons cleared out after the fight, but there are still a few people lingering. “You can stay for a beer. Consider it a thank-you. We’ll talk about those extra security measures.”

Seriously? Is she hitting on him right now?

He looks past her shoulder to lock eyes with me. “I have plans.”

“You can’t break them?” She steps closer to him. “The beer would be on the house and I live upstairs. You can get cleaned up before I thank you for what you did tonight.”

He smiles at me. “I can’t break them. I’m going home with the beautiful woman I live with.”

She steals a glance over her shoulder at me. “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you were with someone. My mistake.”

“No harm, no foul.” He strums his fingers on the top of the bar before he walks past her, reaching out to me. “Let’s get the hell out of here.
