Teddybear and Ghostie are so lucky that I treat them so nice. Sure, I was hard on them. But I also let them be hard on me, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, it seemed like the conversation was going well. In fact, Chad was having so much fun with his new friends that he didn’t even pay attention when the waiter came back with our drinks. I ordered him the steak and a scotch on the rocks.

“Oh my God,” said Ash. “These piña coladas are amazing.”

&nbs

p; I took a big sip from my martini glass. It was an odd choice of glass for a piña colada, but I didn’t care. Because Ash was right. “They really are delicious.”

“What do you think his secret ingredient is?” I asked.

She took another sip. “I think I’m getting a hint of banana.”

Banana juice? If it was, then there was about a 100% chance that Ash would end up face down on the table getting railed by every member of the Gryphon Club.

But she had requested a virgin piña colada, which meant that hers couldn’t have any banana juice in it.

We were almost done with our drinks when the waiter came back.

“Told you it was good,” he said. “May I get you ladies a refill?”

“As long as you’re not planning on taking this one from me, then yes, I’d like another.”

“I wouldn’t dare take a beautiful woman’s drink.”

Chad looked over and scowled at him. “I need a refill too.”

The waiter looked confused. All of Chad’s glasses were full. “Of which beverage, sir?”

“My scotch.”

“But your scotch is full, sir.”

“Is it?” asked Chad. “I don’t think it is.” He took his drink and tossed it right in the waiter’s face. “Now quit flirting with my girl and bring me another.”

“Ah!” I screamed as some scotch splashed onto my dress. I pushed back from the table and shook my arm off.

To his credit, the waiter didn’t flinch. “Of course, sir,” he said. “I’ll have another scotch for you right away.” He bowed and left the dining room.

“I’m gonna go clean up,” I said. I grabbed what was left of my drink and headed for the bathroom.

“Shouldn’t you go help her?” asked one of the other girls at the table.

I didn’t catch his answer, but apparently it was no. Because Ash was the only person to follow me.

“Are you okay?” she asked.

“Girl, I’m better than fine. I love when Chad gets all territorial.”

“Hmmm…I guess I wouldn’t hate having a guy get all pissed at a waiter for flirting with me.”

“Right? Although I’m pretty sure he just made his path into the Gryphon Club a lot more difficult.”

“Oh?” asked Ash as we pushed into the ladies room. “It seemed like the guys thought it was funny.”

“I’m pretty sure they were laughing at Chad rather than the waiter. Adonis told me that the waiters are actually the punch masters. And this is a test to see how the pledges treat them.”

“Oh shit.”
