Josie felt a mix of anger and jealousy hit her.
She watched as Starla and Anna-slash-Angel walked on stage. Her eyes must have stared too long because both Reese and Levi turned to look too.
“New girl,” Reese said. “Who is it?”
“Anna,” Josie said. “Jefferson is calling her Angel.”
“Nice,” Levi said. “Maybe she wants to meet the Devil.”
Levi slammed his hand to Reese’s back.
Again, jealousy attacked Josie.
“What are you drinking?” Josie asked.
“Beer and a shot,” Levi said. “Each.”
Josie looked to Parker and gave a nod.
“First one is on me,” Josie said.
“A woman who knows the way to my heart,” Reese said with a cocky grin.
Josie hated him. She hated everything about the life he was born and groomed into. The boy who became a man and somewhere in between, became an outlaw. It drove her crazy to think about. All the things she had to witness before it all came crumbling down.
Parker served Reese and Levi their drinks.
Josie checked the stage and saw Starla doing what she did best, locked onto Jason. Anna-slash-Angel, however, was looking skittish near Brett. Then again, Josie couldn’t blame her. These guys were big and looked ready to kill. Sometimes that was hard to look past.
You should try knowing their secrets, Josie thought.
“Hey, sweetheart, you okay?” Reese asked.
He touched Josie’s hand and she quickly ripped it away.
“I’m fine,” Josie said. “How long are you sticking around here?”
“As long as we want,” Levi said. “We plan on talking to Jefferson and checking on all the beautiful talent. Drink your bar dry. Fight people who look at us the wrong way.”
“So, the typical bullshit,” Josie said with an eyebrow raised.
“Exactly,” Levi said.
“Enjoy… but I do need…”
“Hey, Josie, I need your help with something quick,” Parker said.
That stole her attention away from finding a casual way to mention to Reese and Levi about the drugs Starla had. Josie didn’t want to cause any problems, but at the same time, she knew how this would go down. It was never good.
As she walked away to help Parker, she heard Levi say something to Reese.
“Remind me again why you let her slip away?”
Josie slowed to hear Reese’s response.
But there was no response.
