“Calm down. It’s a pretty good night. We’re not in jail, not in a hospital, and not in a grave.”
“YET. Yet is the key word.” He pointed behind me. “What the hell is going on with the girls?”
I spun around in my seat to see Allie, Lexi, and Kristina being led somewhere by two security officers. Clearly in the past ten minutes this thing had gone off the rails.
We followed as they were led to an office inside the front door.
“Get your hands off me.” Lexi glared at the security officer.
I walked in. “Lexi, it might be a good time to keep all thoughts to yourself.”
She shook her head at me. “Your check asshole light is on again, Levi. And just so you know, I hope a bird shits on your face today.”
One of the security guards sat behind a desk. “Wow. She’s a little ray of sunshine, huh?
I nodded. “I wish they made shut-up spray.”
Lexi snarled at me while the second security officer stood at the door.
“And you are?”
“I’m Levi Dawson.”
“Are you with these three?”
“Yes.”
Lexi’s head shook. “Not me. Yuck fou fother mucker.” She laughed and nudged Kristina with her arm. “See, I told stupid Levi off in a secret language.”
“Lexi, here’s a reminder before you lose your shit. They don’t serve alcohol in prison. Watch it.” I pointed to her. “Sir, please ignore this one. She’s crazy.”
Her gasp was dramatic. “Me crazy?”
Kristina nodded. “Oh, for sure. But honey, I don’t care if you lick windows, run into doors, or even pee on yourself. You’re my favorite crazy person.”
“Awww.” Yes, it was a cute yet annoying hug.
The security guard cleared his throat. “Well, the ginger punched a woman in the face, and the lady in leopard tried to punch me.”
Lexi flashed a tense smile. “I apologize about that. Y’all, it took me a second to realize what was going on.”
“She’s a little dim.” Why was I trying to push her buttons?
“You shut your face, Levi.”
Allie raised her hand. “May I speak? Would that be possible?”
Her shirt was wet, and the outline of her bra was on full display. The security dude nodded.
“I was just standing there when that woman threw her drink at me. All Lexi did was tell her to get away, but then she pushed everyone around.”
As if in a play Lexi leaned forward in her chair and held her back. “Oh yeah. She pushed me hard. Real hard. Knocked the wind right out of my lungs.” She coughed dramatically.
Eye roll.
Allie nodded. “I just wanted her away from my table, but then she grabbed my hair and wouldn’t release me. It really hurt and before I knew it, I hit her to make her let go.”
Lexi’s arms flew in the air. “Your honor, this is clearly a case of self-defense.”
