Chuckling, I shook my head. “Nah, I’m just following up on a gut feeling. I need to try and get this girl to talk. It just happens this girl thinks she met me here, and I’m a bartender.”

We both sat down as Joel ran his hand through his blond hair. “Huh. You gave her Mike’s name?” Joel asked.

Nodding my head, I said, “Yep.”

Sucking in a deep breath, Joel said, “Mike doesn’t work here anymore, but if you want, I’ve always wanted to be an actor.”

Smiling, I said, “Damn, Joel. Thanks so much. You don’t know what this means to me. I can’t do it, just in case I ever see her in court, and I want to take this asshole down.”

Staring at me, Joel said, “I see it in your eyes dude. You’re on a mission.”

Standing up, I agreed. “That I am. It’s almost eight; you care if we head down to your bar and have a little fun?” Placing the baseball cap on my head, I smiled.

Motioning with his hands for me to lead the way, Joel said, “Have at it, dude.”

Five minutes later, I was making sex on the beach, cosmos, martinis, and serving up bottles of beer left and right while Joel did the same. Damn, I missed this. Beyonce was blaring and I was flying high from the beat.

Looking up, I saw her. Smiling the smile I only reserve when I’m working hard for a piece of ass, I gave Lisa a wink. She practically melted on the spot. “Are you Mike?”

Letting out a laugh, I smiled bigger. “Give me two seconds and I’ll get him for you.”

Lisa ran her tongue along her upper lip and I wanted to gag.

Whore.

Finishing up a few drink orders, I walked over to Joel and pulled him over.

“This is it.” Pushing the device on, I gave Joel a smile. “I’ll be able to hear everything y’all say.”

Joel grinned from ear to ear. “Fucking badass, dude.”

Heading around the bar and up to Lisa, Joel said, “Hey, baby, you want to dance?”

Lisa chuckled. “Really? Cause I was thinking there’s a hotel right down the road.”

Joel let out a heavy laugh and leaned closer to Lisa, “You didn’t like our little fuck fest in the cooler?” Nice Joel. Nice.

“Fuck,” she whispered. “I’m not drinking at all tonight.”

Pulling her out onto the dance floor, Joel began grinding up against her. Bastard always knew how to get to the ladies. It wasn’t going to take anything to get information out of her. Three songs later and she was singing.

Joel talked much louder than he needed to as he began pumping Lisa for information. “So, baby, why didn’t you ever call? You were one hell of a fuck.”

Lisa moaned as I glanced over to them while still attempting to listen to people yelling out drinks. Walking over to Chasity, I told her I was taking a quick break and headed around the corner where I could keep an eye on Joel and Lisa.

Lisa had her arms wrapped around Joel. “I’m kind of seeing someone.”

“Kind of?”

“It’s a long story, but I’m fucking my boss. He’s going through a divorce right now; actually his wife was my best friend.”

What a bitch. She has no regards for Sierra’s feelings at all.

Joel let out a fake-ass chuckle. Actor my ass. “You can’t be in love with him with the way you were all over me . . . and the fact you’re here now.”

From where I was standing, I had a clear view of them. Lisa shrugged her shoulders. “It started off as me getting back at Sierra.”

“Sierra?”

Nodding, Lisa said, “His wife, my best friend. She has always had everything, ya know? The perfect body, perfect eyes and hair. Perfect boyfriend who turned out to be a doctor and makes a shit ton of money. Right down to the damn perfect house with the white fence and dog.”

“So you wanted her perfect life?” Joel asked.

It appeared Lisa smiled, but someone had stepped in between my view of them. Joel moved a bit and I had my clear view again. “Yep. And I got it. It didn’t take much to seduce Robert. He likes . . . dirty. Sierra can’t do dirty like I can.”

Anger began building up as I balled my fists together. Sierra doesn’t do house-wrecking whore, is what you mean you two-faced bitch?

“You stay for the money then?” Joel asked as he pulled Lisa in closer.

Moving her hands through Joel’s hair, she dropped her head back and moaned. The song changed and “Motivation” by Kelly Rowland began playing.

“Do I stay for the money? Of course I do. He keeps promising me diamond rings and fancy cars. I can have my cake and eat it too.” Lisa reached down and began running her hand over Joel’s dick.
