“She’s really watching you,” Sparkle suddenly said, making me look up in time to see Ocean staring at me from the VIP section on the second floor. Her eyes kept bouncing back and forth between me and Havoc for some reason.
Sparkle chuckled.
“I’m so glad it’s not me because I’m a nice person, but I can definitely be a bitch if pushed. I would be doing anything just to piss her off,” Sparkle laughed. “I would give her something to look at. Let me flirt with her man. You know what I’m like, Kairi.”
Her words reminded me of that time she flirted with her neighbor’s baby daddy just because they didn’t like each other.
Sparkle could be petty like that when she didn’t like someone.
Simpering at Sparkle, I looked away from Ocean and wiped down the bar before serving a few more customers.
“Do you want me to talk to her?” Sparkle asked. I shook my head.
“It’s best to just leave her alone,” I responded.
“I don’t know how the hell she managed to get him,” she shouted and then laughed. That made me look Havoc’s way again.
He seemed to be completely different from Ocean. She was obnoxious, loud, and rude, while he seemed quiet and mysterious. I couldn’t see how they matched, to be honest, even though I didn’t know anything about him.
The fact that he was known as Havoc told me enough, though. He was definitely in the streets like that, especially ifhe was Orlando’s son. Yet, he was still different from the other sanction leader sons I’d encountered since working here. They all acted loud and bad like Sony—but not Havoc.
“He is fine though, I can see why she’s jealous of him,” Sparkle announced. “I can see your face flushing red,” she said, poking my cheek as I stared at him.
I smacked her hand away, and she laughed.
He suddenly looked my way, and I quickly turned my head to act like I hadn’t been staring a hole in his face.
I busied myself with stacking clean glasses until Sparkle told me someone had approached the bar.
I turned to ask them what they needed, only to realize it was Havoc. Sparkle used her drink to hide the smile on her face.
“What can I get you?” I asked him. His beautiful eyes bounced around all the bottles of liquor lining the wall before he looked at me again.
“Henny with ice.”
I nodded and turned to make his drink. Sparkle sat in her seat, giggling like a fool, but I just ignored her.
“Anything else?” I asked him to put his drink down.
“Nah. That’s good.”
I walked over to the cash register, input his drink, and then grabbed the card reader for him to pay.
He pulled out a black card and tapped it on the reader.
“I appreciate it,” Havoc said before picking up his drink and walking away. I tried not to watch him, but I couldn’t help it.
Most girls my age seemed to like the loudest dude in the room, someone who moved like Sony, but not me. I was intrigued by the quiet ones I found hard to read—like Havoc.
“Girl, that man has a whole fiancée, one that hates your guts,” I chuckled to myself and told myself not to look his way again.
“Kairi, you can go for your break now,” Felicity came up and tapped me on my shoulder. I thanked her and walked over to Sparkle.
“I’ll be right back,” I let her know.
Someone blocked my path as I headed to the back. I looked at Ocean and sighed.
“Keep out of my man’s face, Kairi!”
