“Sure thing,” she said then sashayed away to get the drinks and toss out the stupid pickup lines the men had come up with. “Fools,” she mumbled to herself. The men had no idea who they’d all chosen to hit on. In her opinion, none of them would be seeing any action that night, if that’s what they were thinking.
Making her way to Jess, she placed the drink in front of her, making Jess look at her with confusion. “You know I only drink beer, Bonnie.”
“I know that,” the waitress said then pointed out the tall, handsome man who’d sent the drink. “Do you see that guy there?”
Jess looked in the direction Bonnie’s finger was pointing and smiled. “Damn! He’s hot as hell, Bonnie. You sure he meant that to come to me?”
“He did, and it comes with a message. He said to let you know that if you were any prettier, they’d have to lock you up. Oh, yeah! And his name’s Griff.”
Jess laughed and waved at the man who was staring her down. “What a moron. Tell him, if he was any hotter, I’d have to call the fire department. And take him this nasty drink and let him know I’m a beer drinker.”
Bonnie took the Rob Roy with her as she made her way to the man who’d sent it. He wasn’t smiling when she got to him. “She doesn’t want it?” Griffin asked.
“She said to tell you that if you were any hotter, she’d have to call the fire department. Plus, she told me to let you know she’s a beer drinker and nothing else.”
“Then get her a beer. Whatever kind’s her favorite,” Griffin said. “And tell her Griff said he likes her sense of humor.”
“K, I’ll let her know that,” Bonnie said then hurried off to take care of the orders. She was beginning to feel like a go-between for the men in their efforts to gain female companionship for the night.
She took the Rob Roy to Kel who was chatting it up with Miss Foster, the high school librarian. Kel’s eyes narrowed as Bonnie placed the cocktail glass of pinkish purple liquid in front of her. “What the hell is this about, Bonnie?”
“Do you see that Scottish stud giving you the eye, Kel?” Bonnie asked her.
“Yes, I see the dim-witted man. And why would you let him believe I wanted anything from him?” Kel asked as she turned her dark blue eyes back to her cousin.
“I told him the drink wouldn’t gain him anything with you, Kel. But he insisted. And he said to tell you that he’s your knight in shining armor or some shit like that. Anyway, his name’s Ethan Southern and he gave me a hundred to get this to you. He and his friends seem to have a thing for the Flannigan sisters this evening.”
“You don’t say,” Kel said with a grin that was somewhat evil in nature. “Who’s botherin’ my sisters?”
“Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome is asking after Cait, and the one with blonde curls is after Jess.” Bonnie sighed as she looked at the three hunky men who were trying to act as if they weren’t looking at the women they’d set their sights on for the evening.
“And I got the man with amber waves that hang to his shoulders that are as broad as any I’ve ever seen. A beast, I’m sure.” Kel sipped the drink and held up her hand in a motionless wave to let the man know she’d accept his drink as it was her family’s bar and they needed every dollar they could get.
“I’m sure he’s a sweetheart,” Bonnie said then giggled. “They’re all winners, cousin. You should give the man a chance.”
“And you should get your ass back to work before I send you home for this mischief you’ve managed to get us into,” Kellie said as she gave her cousin one arched eyebrow.
“I’ll get back at it. But I didn’t have a thing to do with who the men picked to pester this evening. They did that all on their own. Just so you know.”
Kel’s eyes settled on the man who’d so boldly called himself her knight in shining armor.As if she needed one, the nerve of him!
