work now?” I ask
jokingly.
“Yes and leave you awesome tips too.” She squeals and claps her
hands. “Starting tonight, in fact, because that Mason guy said Jax,
David, and he are going to be there and they want me to go. They
wanted me to invite you, but you’re working. So maybe when you’re
finished we can have a real drink together and toast to our new and
amazing friendship.” I can see the excitement in her eyes and of course
I agree. She’s the first real friend I’ve ever had, and I think we deserve
it. I know I need a drink after today and that’s saying something.
When I leave and walk out of the dorm to head to work, I see
Benji standing by his motorcycle smoking a cigarette and talking to
some girl with blonde hair cut in a pixie style. He sees me and waves
with a smile. Pixie doesn’t look too happy that his attention is now on
me, but she should notice we’re practically dressed in the same black
T-shirts and realize it’s strictly platonic. I wave back and start walking
down the street toward the bus stop that I’ve been using when Jazz
can’t take me to work.
“Hey, Trudy, where you going?” I turn and Benji’s running in my
direction while I receive the stink eye from pixie as she leaves.
“Work. Where else would I be going in this shirt?” I ask, smiling
and giving him a look that says, “Duh!”
“Well let’s go get on, Foxy. I came by to give you a ride since I
was out this way and knew you were on tonight.” He grabs my hand
and starts leading me back toward his woman of steel.
“I can take the bus. I don’t want to stop you from working your
magic on pixie .” I nod my head toward the girl he was talking to a few
minutes ago while she walks away.
He gives me a look of horror. “Nah. You just saved my ass from a
girl that thinks she knows shit about bikes. She’s only trying to
impress me so I will lay it on her,” he says, grabbing his crotch and
giving a smirk that shows off his white teeth.
“Goodness, Benji, where have you been all my life with that sweet
talking mouth of yours?” I laugh while putting on my helmet.
I haven’t really done it on my own, so he turns and looks at me in
my eyes while he helps adjust the strap. “South Carolina, but now I’m
right in front of you, doll.” Even though he has a cocky smirk on his
face, he sounds so serious. Since I don’t know how to respond, I just
ignore it and bend down to pick up my bag.
He straddles the bike then starts it up as I get on and wrap my
arms around his waist. I try to keep my hold tight enough so I won’t
fall off, but I don’t make it an embrace like last time. I don’t need to
cross lines with anybody right now, especially a co-worker.
We head into Jay Jay’s and the place is packed for only being ten
at night. I look to my left and check on Jazz because this is her first
time out with me in a bar. I need to keep an eye on her, but I want to
see Tru as well, so I’m on double duty tonight. Then I notice I’m not
the only one looking out for Jazz when I see Mason wearing a dreamy
look while he watches her bounce with excitement.
“Hey, Mason? Will you help me watch out for Jazz tonight?” I
yell over the loud music the DJ plays, and again he looks guilty for
staring at her. I can’t help but laugh and notice Jazz walking away
toward an empty table. David, Mason, and I follow behind her and
take a seat. Immediately, I see that Trudy is behind the bar and running
her ass off, but man what a fine ass. Then I notice that Benji is behind
it with her, and I see red and let out a growl. Thankfully nobody can
hear me with all the noise. Or so I thought.
“Calm down. He’s just a friend. Trust me, we talk about
everything,” Jazz says and interrupts me when I’m about to ask her for
details. “No, sir. I have her trust and I’ll not break it, even for you,
buddy.” She smiles and orders a girly drink from the waitress, Blaire,
who is now staring at me waiting on my drink
jokingly.
“Yes and leave you awesome tips too.” She squeals and claps her
hands. “Starting tonight, in fact, because that Mason guy said Jax,
