CJ
My best friend, Eddie, slid onto the bar seat next to me. “Couldn’t
find anyone better to ask for dinner, ha?” he asked, grinning.
“Shut up.” I leaned into him. “It’s been too long since we caught up.”
Thankfully, the female bartender approached and slid a napkin in front of
him. “Hey, honey. It’s been awhile since you’ve been in. What can I get for
you?”
“Hi.” He gave her an adorkable little wave. His cheeks flushed as he
plucked the bar menu out of the stand. “We’re eating, right, CJ?”
“I invited you out for dinner and drinks, so yeah. My treat.”
“Then can I have a draft beer and an order of wings, please?” He flashed
her a shy smile. This was why I’d chosen Rafters for our meet-up. My
friend had harbored a major crush on this particular bartender for years, and
I knew he needed a pick-me-up tonight. She was easy on the eyes, and her
friendly banter always cheered him up.
I seconded his order, and she asked all the usual questions about which type
of beer and what sauce for our wings. Once we were done, she winked at
Eddie. “I’ll be right back.”
He watched her saunter off, then swiveled toward me, frowning. “So tell me
what this is really about. Not that I’m not happy to see you, but I figured I
wouldn’t see you until later this week.”
Avoiding his gaze, I picked up my water. “Can’t a guy just want to hang and
check in with his best friend, have a nice dinner, and chat?”
Eddie sighed. “Who’d you hear from? My dad or my brother?” he asked
without hesitation.
It had actually been both. “They’re worried about you.”
Eddie sighed. “I told them everything was fine.”
I elbowed him in the side. “You also told them you were bringing Cecilia to
Christmas dinner, and then you didn’t. Your dad said you offered little to no
explanation for why.”
Eddie barked out a laugh. “I’m surprised he didn’t get the truth out of my
brother.”
Considering his brother, Chuck, had also sent me a text wanting to make
sure his brother was okay, that didn’t make sense. “Why? Did you actually
tell him?”
Eddie wrinkled his nose. “Kind of. I told him that I broke up with her.
Which is true.”
The bartender slid my beer toward me, then set Eddie’s down in front of
him. “Here you go, honey. Let me know when you’re ready for another.”
“Thanks.” He flushed again, then took a sip of his beer while swiveling his
chair toward me. “So is this really why we’re here? You’re digging for
information.”
I shrugged. “I’ll tell them whatever you want me to, but I’m more interested
in if you’re okay. I thought things were going great with Cecilia, and if it
ended so suddenly, I thought you might need to talk it out.” I personally
hadn’t cared much for her, but I also hadn’t been the one dating her.
