"Inked Hearts is a fucking institution. But I promised Chase I'd stick with him. And—"
"He just has to stop fucking himself over this." Wes rolls his eyes. "Fucking guy has his head so far up his ass."
"He made his feelings clear," I say.
"Asshole needs to get over himself." Wes shakes his head. "I didn't make any fucking promise. If you're offering me a gig, I'm here. That Emma chick was hot. All the other women who work here the same?"
Is he fucking with me?
I can't tell.
But then it's Wes.
Of course he's fucking with me.
"Yeah. Dean's girl is too," I say. "At least, I think she's Dean's girl. I'm not in the loop."
"Dean has a girl?" Wes shakes his head. "Fuck. Times change."
"Yeah." Griffin chuckles, but that frustration is still there, in his eyes. "They really fucking do."
