Ghost’s arm swung out, smacking JJ in the side of the head.
“Oww. Son-of-a—”
“Watch your mouth,” Ghost snapped.
“Oh! I didn’t know you had company,” Jessie stuttered out, looking stricken with embarrassment.
Ghost tossed her the bag Shades had given him. “Here, Shades’ ol’ lady sent some clothes over for you.”
Jessie scrambled to grab up the bag, almost dropping the towel. She clutched it to her chest. “Thank you. That was nice of her.”
Shades gave her a smile, nodding. “She’s a good woman.”
“Th
ank her for me, will you?”
“Will do,” Shades replied.
“Well, don’t just stand there, brat, go put some clothes on,” Ghost ordered with brows raised.
“Hell, let her stand there. I ain’t complainin’,” Hammer put in.
Ghost smacked Hammer in the back of the head, barking to Jessie, “Move.”
“Oww. Fuck,” Hammer bitched, yanking his head away.
When she was gone, Ghost moved around the back of the bar and pulled the carafe from the coffee maker, pouring himself a mug.
“You’re not going to offer the rest of us any?” Shades asked with lifted brow.
Ghost brought the mug to his lips, replying in a growl, “No, ‘cause you ain’t stayin’ that long.”
“We interrupt something, bro?” Hammer asked with a smirk.
“Yeah, breakfast, fuckface.”
A few minutes later, Jessie returned in a pair of jeans and tank top. She moved behind the bar and got herself a cup of coffee.
“Good morning,” she said, eyeing the men.
Heavy replied, “What’s good about it?”
“What’s wrong with you?” she asked him.
“Ignore him. He ain’t a mornin’ person,” Ghost informed her.
Heavy looked up at her with a surly face. “There are only two kinds of people in my book. Morning people,” he paused, one brow lifting as he looked at her threateningly. “And the people that want to kill them.”
“All righty, then.” She got in his face, showing no fear. “So, just coffee, then?”
He glared at her.
“Warning, bro. She’s got an attitude and she knows how to use it.”
Heavy’s eyes cut to a grinning Ghost, and then back to her. “Coffee would be good. I wouldn’t say no to a cup of Joe.”
Her brow rose, and she waited.
