Chapter Seven

Persimmon was a high-end martini bar in an upscale part of downtown. A handful of hotels, art galleries, shops, and restaurants dotted the streets covering a few city blocks in the heart of the haven and was always bustling with activity in the evening hours, regardless of whether it was a weeknight or the weekend. When we arrived at the bar, it was wall-to-wall with young supernaturals, most of whom looked to be closer to Harmony’s age.

“Maybe we should go somewhere else,” I said, raising my voice over the chatter and music. “I don’t see a table open.

CeeCee lifted onto her tip-toes and looked around.

“I got it covered,” Harmony said, pivoting away from us. CeeCee and I watched from the crowd at the doorway as Harmony cut through the bar and got the bartender’s attention. I couldn’t hear what she said, but it appeared the two knew each other. The bartender smiled at Harmony and then went to the end of the bar where a trio of businessmen sat talking with their heads together. A few words were exchanged and the businessmen got up in a huff and stormed out, nearly knocking into CeeCee on their way out the door.

Harmony beckoned us over with a smile to where the men had been sitting. CeeCee gave me a sidelong look and I shrugged.

“This is Guy,” Harmony said, gesturing at the bartender when we approached.

“You really didn’t have to kick those guys out,” I told Guy. “We could have waited.”

The handsome bartender flashed a wide smile and waved off my concern. “They’d been squatting for two hours and only ordered a drink a piece.”

“Oh … but still …”

“On top of that, they’re crappy tippers,” Guy told us with a carefree laugh. “Sit, sit, ladies. I’ll get those candy appletinis right over.”

CeeCee laughed and slid onto one of the vacated stools. She gave Harmony an appreciative once-over. “Dang, girl, you know your way around this town. You sure you’ve only been here six months?”

Harmony laughed and took the stool on the other side, leaving the middle one open for me. “I work at Luna and Guy bartends over there on Sundays.”

CeeCee craned around to give the bartender’s backside a smile. “You two a thing?”

Harmony shook her head. “Stars, no.”

I shot her a look. “You say that as if Guy isn’t exactly your type. Tall, dark, handsome, at least one piercing, and he’s wearing pleather pants. That ticks all of your boxes, last time I checked.”

Harmony arched one brow. “You overlooked one teeny little detail, sis.” She jutted her chin toward Guy and as he raised his arms to shake the silver canister with our drinks, I noted the silver band on his left hand.

I bobbed my head. “Aha.”

“Boo hiss,” CeeCee pouted.

“Boo hiss? I thought you’d sworn off guys?” I said.

She flashed a wicked smile. “Not ones that look like that.”

We all laughed.

Things only went more off the rails when we’d each had two of Guy’s signature candy appletinis. I suspected he’d made them extra strong for us and after the second one, I was struggling to stay upright on my barstool.
