I give her a quick hug and we step back out into the bar. Ryder is still behind the bar and is now talking to Eddie, my amazing big brother.
He is one of my favorite people. When he sees me sit back down he leaves Ryder and brings me a shot of whiskey without me even having to ask.
“You really are my knight in shining glitter, bro.” I say.
As I shoot it back he laughs and leans against the bar.
“So Sis, how was your shift?”
“OhMiGod don’t even get me started there is this new douche hole of a Doctor that started two days ago, and he will not leave me alone.”
His face goes from sweet to instant big brother.
“Am I going to need to come kick his ass?” I just give him a dull look.
“I can kick his ass just fine thank you very much. Now get me a very strong drink so I can wash my sorrows away.”
I say overdramatically like I'm about to faint. He laughs and goes to get me one. I look down at my phone and reply to Teagan’s text.
I look up when I see my drink slide towards me only to see Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome standing in front of me with a curious look.
“What's the matter, Anamchara?”
“Why do you always call me that, what does it mean?” He tucks my hair behind my ear before leaning against the bar. “I will tell you when you are ready.”
“You know I could just look it up on Google, right?” I say as it takes everything in me to not lean into his touch. He leans in close to me and whispers seductively. “Yes, but you won't because I know how much you love surprises.”
Oh God! Can you come just from the sound of a man's voice? Because I am pretty sure I just did. I open my mouth to say something.
When we hear a commotion and I quickly turn around Trish has a bloody nose and JoJo is holding her hand to her chest while glaring at her. All of the sudden Josephine hollers at Ryder to take the trash out aka Trish the bitch.
He walks around the bar and I follow his sexy ass with my eyes as he leads her out of the bar. I am picturing his fine ass naked when I hear someone clear their throat. I turn over to see Trinity looking at me.
“Hi.”
“Uh… Hi?”
“So, I have a question and I was wondering if you could help me out?”
Why the fuck is she talking to me and I swear to God if she asks me about Ryder, I will kick her ass.
“Sure…” I say with a forced smile.
“You work with Magen Stephenson, right?” I quirk my brow. “Yeah… why?” She blushes a little and looks down at her beer. “Uh… Do you know if she is seeing anyone?”
“I don't think so.” I lean back on the bar looking over the room. “Why do you ask?” She clears her throat again and looks over at Magen standing at the other side of the bar. “I wanna ask her out.”
My drink almost comes out of my nose. Damn, I wasn't expecting that to come out of her mouth. No wonder JoJo was so keen on her not liking Ryder.
“Oh…” We sit there in silence for a few minutes before she leans back against the bar.
“Anywho, I am Trinity and you are Suzy, right?”
Oh, I am definitely going to like her. I hold my drink up for her to clink.
“Yep, here's to going after what we want.” She laughs and clinks her drink with mine.
“And who do you want?” I turn my head and look over at Ryder walking back into the bar.
