I shook my head at him and said, “Before all this started, we lived a pretty quiet life. So don’t be scaring my girl off.”
Briget looked over at me with big eyes as her face went pink.
I smiled at her. Might as well state my intentions publicly. Yes, Briget was mine, I just didn’t think she knew it.
“We are all gonna head to the powder room, boys,” Glory announced with a chuckle. “Come on, girls.”
We men followed the women as they all entered the truck stop.
I stepped up to the hostess stand and said, “We need a large table. For eleven, I think?”
The hostess stared at us, while looking a bit shocked. “Were you in a car accident?”
I shrugged. Car accident might be putting it too mildly but I replied, “Sort of. Why do you ask?”
Nodding her head at us, she replied, “Several of you have blood on your clothes.”
I looked around to see she was right. Liberty and Smoke in particular had blood on them as well as Bones.
Legend stepped up and spoke softly, “I’m an MD and I treated their wounds. They are all okay now.”
The woman stared at him and her entire expression changed as she suddenly got all doe eyed. “You are cute. Wow. Ok doctor.” She grabbed a stack of menus. Moving over close by him while almost passing her breasts over his chest, she went past him. “Follow me, handsome.”
Legend shook his head and glanced back at us.
“Wow!” Liberty exclaimed with a laugh. “I really thought she wasn’t gonna let us in. I always believed that you couldn’t pay for stuff or get perks with your looks but I stand corrected.”
We all laughed.
I smiled too, but I worried that Glory might catch this hostess flirting with Legend when we were all at the table. I remembered what happened last year when we were all at a party and a cocktail waitress hit on Legend. The flirty waitress hung all over him, hooked on every word he uttered. As soon asshe caught sight of this, our sister dragged her out back by her hair no less and punched her. Justice had to really work hard to get the injured woman not to press charges against Glory.
Oh yes, Glory would beat this girl up too, I felt sure. When we sat down, my gaze met Justice’s.
Looking worried too, he shook his head at me.
I leaned over the table and tapped it with my finger to get Legend’s attention.
Raising his head from the menu, he asked, “What’s up?”
I sighed and said, “That hostess was coming on to you.”
He looked confused and totally surprised. “She was?”
I shook my head. “My God, Legend. Are ya blind?”
He chuckled and replied, “I haven’t been diagnosed as blind, no.”
Justice broke into laughter and joked, “Doc, you have to bethebrightest dumbass I have ever known.”
Legend shook his head and returned his gaze back to the menu.
“Brother,” I spoke to Legend again. “We don't need to draw any more attention to ourselves.”
He raised his gaze up to look at me. “I don’t plan to do that.”
“Maybe you don’t,” Justice piped in. “But she does.” He pointed at the woman who’d come onto Legend at the hostess stand.
Said flirty hostess was making her way toward our table and Legend in particular. Her eyes were on him and only him.
