Getting called into work on karaoke night sucked ass But Lowe decided he had better things to do than bartend, so Pick askedon spendingin bed with h of her Each stolenshorter and shorter I couldn’t wait to pin her brother down and have that talk already

As luck would have it, I had to ith hi hi how to broach the subject when Hart sidled up next to ed me companionably on the back

"So, how’s Tenoline these days?" He arched a curious broay "Or do you guys go by Caroten? I wasn’t sure exactly how you were shipping it"

I snorted and rolled my eyes "It’s Oreline, motherfucker And we’re aweso to hed and shook his hands "No No, no, no I mean, if I really wanted her, I would’ve taken her already"

"Oh, you wish, douchebag You wouldn’t have stood a chance"

"I don’t know," he htfully "Caroline and I have always"

I narrowed h ainst the nearest wall, but a new song started on the Karaoke I groaned because I was getting burned out by Meghan Trainor’s "All About that Bass" But then one of the two girls on stage began to sing and even I had to lift my eyebrows, impressed It wasn’t often that so on our karaoke machine

I turned back to Hart "Damn, she’s not" But uy had that look in his eye The saot when Blondie walked into a room The same look I knew I probably had when Caroline was around

I glanced back and forth between Hart and the dark-headed girl on stage who had captured his attention, as she ed the croith her husky vocals The redhead with her finally leaned in and sang along with the chorus, but she was nowhere near as good as her friend The ladies did a little dance together, wiggling their asses out at the crowd, and I glanced at Hart for his reaction only to break out grinning when his eyes flared and he grabbed the bar for support A thin trail of sweat slid down his temple

"Hey, bud You okay?" I had to ask, unable to stop otten such a big, annoying kick out ofawesome to see the tables turned and watch him squirm in the presence of so lazed with shock "I think" He paused to lick his lips and transfer his gaze back to the stage where the two girls were finishing up the song "I think I just ht there" He pointed toward the stage "That one Yeah, she’s going to have my babies"

I snorted at his overdramatic proclamation and had to tease "Who? The redhead?" I actually knew that one’s naes

But Hart scowled before I could add that part "No The tall, beautiful Latina" He sent lance "I mean, did you not just hear her voice? Or see that perfect ass?"

I started to snicker, but the hugging girls on stage let go of each other just as soe at hi her enough that she could lean her face in and kiss hiue When they didn’t come up for air within thirty seconds, I had to check Hart’s reaction

I nudged ht have a proble plans with her"

Horror lit Hart’s face as his lanced at me, absolutely crushed "That was not supposed to happen"

I threw back hed I couldn’t help myself It was about damn time some chick caused him a little misery

"Shut it" He punched his fist into h louder

"Oh, da so hard it hurt "Shit, man You should’ve seen the look on your face when she kissed souy"

"Whatever" He turned his back to the stage so he was facing the back of the bar "I can’t believe she’s already taken She has on an Incubus shirt and everything Seriously, how many women out there are fans of Incubus?"
