We all sat in tense silence, every last patron of the buffet, staring in shock.

A large piece of chicken nugget hit the floor, and then the baby was wailing.

Chevy instantly handed the child back to the mother and took a step back.

The mother was crying, and Chevy turned back to his table and his food like he did this every day.

The mother stared at him for a long second before she retook her seat.

“Our hero.”Keely batted her eyes at her brother.

Chevy flipped her off.“Fuck you.”

“Rude.”Keely rolled her eyes and sat back down next to her husband.“I hope that never happens to us with our children.I would freak way the fuck out.”

Same.

Though, with a father like Chevy, maybe I wouldn’t ever have to worry about the safety of my children when he seemed like a miracle worker.

The Asian lady that’d been waiting on us came up with a handful of paper in her hands and said, “Free food.For you.”

Chevy blinked.“Uh, that’s not necessary.”

“Yes, it’s very necessary.”The woman nodded, and I realized that our waitress was likely also the owner of the entire restaurant.“That would’ve been a nightmare for us of bad business.It would literally spread like wildfire through social media, and we’d be the most liked video on TokTik within the hour.”

TokTik.

Oh, she was adorable.

“It was…” Chevy tried, but the Asian lady shook her head.“You’re a hero.”

Chevy looked down at his plate of food, and I patted his shoulder.

Oh, he was definitely uncomfortable.“We’ll take them.Thank you so much.”

The Asian lady smiled and waved, but then turned around again and took every single plate she could carry, balancing the plates filled with food so expertly that not a single piece of food fell.

“Y’all are so wasteful,” Marv grumbled.“Fuck me, your grandmother would’ve shit herself if she saw all the waste.”

“You were meant to waste food at a buffet,” Cutter said.“They would think poorly of us if we didn’t.”

“Whatever,” Marv said.“I have a date with my bed and this little lady right here.I’m finally erect.I’ll see y’all next week.Maybe if I can squeeze you in.”

And before any of us could say a word to his most inappropriate comment yet, he was heading out of the room with his date that was still snacking on a chicken skewer, his erect penis leading the way.

“Oh.My.God,” Keely said as she groaned into her hands.“I want to erase my family name sometimes.”

“You don’t carry that name anymore, darling,” Dima teased.“You’re a Semyonov.Very infamous.Very suave.Very demure.”

“Very mindful?”I teased.

Keely and Milena snickered.

The men all stared at me like I was nuts.

“It’s a trending sound right now,” I defended myself.

Chevy’s large palm came down onto my thigh, and I instantly forgot about what I’d been saying, and focused on his large palm on my bare thigh that was inches away from my panty seam.
