“Ivee?”
Nolan’s stern voice shook me out of my day dream.
“What?”
“Can
you be there tomorrow?” He asked.
“Yeah,
no problem,” I said nonchalantly, even though my insides were flipping in
circles.
Just
then a gaggle of girls came around the truck. I knew what was on their minds.
Sex.
I
rolled my eyes at their low cut tank tops, short skirts, and walked away to go
back into the bar.
It was
almost empty, except for a few bartenders that were cleaning up. I slide behind
the counter, grabbing a cold bottle of water. I noticed Wills at the end of the
bar, and I stroll over to him. Ever since we’ve played here, he’s been very kind
to me. Not in that creepy-perverted-way either.
I
slapped a five dollar bill on the counter. “Take this,” I ordered.
Wills
chuckled. “You made me a lot of money tonight.” He pushed it back to me. “It’s
on me.”
“Thanks,”
I said gently, putting the money back into my pocket.
“I want
you to meet someone,” Wills informed me as a young guy comes up to the bar,
next to him. “Ivee, this is Colton.”
“Hey,”
I nodded.
“Ivy,
like a plant?” he questioned. The bar lights made his light brown eyes gleam,
as he searched me up and down.
“I-V-E-E.
I’m not a plant,” I spat back at him.
“I’m
simply making an assumption of your name.” He tried to pin a mean look at me
through his eyes, but it wasn’t working on me.
“Well,
you’re wrong.” I narrowed mine to him.
“Aren’t
you just a little southern bell?” Colton’s voice is low and deep.
“Oh
please, like I haven’t heard that cheesy pickup line before.” I groaned at his
attempt to make fun of my thick Texas accent.
“Ivee,”
Wills voice sent me a warning, and he was shaking his head.
“Well,
thank you Wills,” I said, ignoring Colton’s eyes and Wills, leaving them both
at the bar.
