“Something like that.” I pulled my phone out and asked for a selfie. He was confused but went for it and I made sure the envelope was in the picture.
“Mr. Talace, you’ve been served.”
He ran his nose down the side of my neck and murmured, “I sure have, baby.”
I put my phone back in my jeans and pushed him away. “Seriously, you’ve been served.”
He looked at the envelope.
I leaned in once again, and whispered, “Open it.” Then, I grabbed my glass and walked to the other side of the bar to enjoy it. I texted the picture to Josh and watched him look for me, but made sure I was out of the way. After a few loud curses and less than desirable name calling at my expense, he and his friends left.
I always wondered what was in the envelopes. I mean, I know they’re being served, some have to testify, some have depositions, and some are just flat out being sued for something, but why? What did they do or not do to get served; to be in the position they’re in. I always wanted to look in the envelope but it was against the rules. Ki was a stickler for the rules, so I obeyed. And I wouldn’t want to be responsible for us losing our jobs.
I enjoyed my drink while relaxing in the corner booth of the bar. People came and went, and I just sat there, thinking. Thinking about my mother. Thinking about Tapper. Thinking about the detective who lied to me. I realized we weren’t in a relationship, and it was just a friend with benefits thing, like all my guys are but still, he was married. He cheated on his wife with me.
A wife who didn’t know her husband was a cheater.
I haven’t told her yet.
I wanted to stay out of it but at the same time, she had a right to know. Cheating husbands and boyfriends were fifty percent of our income. This is what we were good at, and it bugged me that I helped him. I wondered if I wasn’t the only person he was sleeping with. But it didn’t matter, we weren’t anything but friends.
Just like Tapper.
Friends with benefits.
I looked at the picture of Tapper and I one more time and headed home.
