“What do you need, Honey?”
Harmony pulled her attention toward Roberto and gave him the drink order. She turned, so her back faced Christian, and ignored him. She drummed her fingers on the bar as she waited impatiently for her drinks.
“You can’t ignore me, Baby.”
Harmony sniffed. “Wanna bet?”
Christian threw his head back and laughed loud enough to get a lot of people’s attention.
“Here you go,” Roberto said as he looked back and forth between the two in confusion.
Christian knew the other man probably had never seen him laugh that hard, and he doubted the man had ever seen Harmony this angry.
“Everything okay?” Roberto asked.
Harmony mumbled something under her breath.
“I’m sorry, Baby, I didn’t hear that,” Christian said and smiled broadly at the disgruntled look on her face.
“That’s probably for the best,” she said, turned abruptly, and walked off.
Roberto chuckled. “What did you do to make her mad?”
“I just told her she was too sweet to work in a place like this.”
Roberto chuckled. “She doesn’t like to be told she’s a nice girl.”
Christian looked astounded. “Why the fuck not?”
Roberto chuckled. “She wants people to see her as a strong, mature woman.”
“How old is she?”
“Twenty-three, but will turn twenty-four next month,”Roberto told him.
Shit, Christian thought. Next month, he will turn thirty-eight. That would make him fourteen years older than her. He watched Roberto walk off again. He smiled when Harmony was back and tried to ignore him again.
“Where do you live?”
Her head swung toward him, and her mouth dropped open. “Now, why would I tell you where I lived?”
Christian shrugged. He knew, at that moment, she didn’t know who he was. It would be so easy to get her information from her application.
“Because I asked.”
“Well, woo-hoo for you,” she said sarcastically.
Christian snorted. “Baby, if you were mine, you’d be over my knee with that attitude.”
Harmony sniffed in disdain. “Well, lucky for me, I’m not yours.”
“Do you live with your uncle?”
Harmony narrowed her eyes. “No, I live with Danny.”
Christian felt a flash of jealousy hit him so unexpectedly that it shocked him. “Who the fuck is Danny?”
Harmony’s eyes widened at the anger in Christian’s face. “It’s none of your business, but I’ll tell you he’s a special friend of mine.”
