“Girl.” she whispers to me as I stare hard into the drink in my hand.

“He’s walking over.” she says again before clearing her throat. “Hey Sebastian.”

“Willow.” he says in return.

I still don’t make a move to look up. The dude just caught me staring at him like a loony.

“What? No hello to me?” the mystery man says to her.

They were both next to me and I could feel the heat from their bodies near me.

“Samuel.”

What’s up with the “S” names?

“Willow.”

“Don’t.” she says, and for the first time, I hear her voice being stern.

I glanced up to see what got her all in a jumble.

Her eyes were glowing daggers at the guy, and if looks could kill, he would be ashes.

“Well hello.” he drags out as he leans to the side of me. “Who is this magnificent princess?”

“Leave her the fuck alone.” Willow says as she steps out from behind the register.

My eyes go to her as she looks to be seething.

“Hey, I’m allowed to look at the beauty.” he says to her before leaning close to me. “I don’t bite.” he grins wolfishly. “Much.”

My skin erupts with goosebumps at his words and I know my cheeks are flaming.

“Sebastian.” she barks out.

He puts his hands up in defense before smacking his friend in the back.

“Okay, okay. Lay off douche.”

He moves back from me where I could breathe again.

What the fuck is going on?

“My apologies beautiful. I came to rile up Willow, and instead got to enjoy your beauty.” he says with wink at my friend.

I decide to try and figure out what in the world is going on. Standing up, I move away from the testosterone filled guys, and move towards Willow.

“Okay. What the hell is happening?”

She was still staring daggers at Samuel, and I have to touch her arm to make her look at me.

Looking at me, she sighs. “Samuel is my ex.”

Okay…. awkward.

He whistles out before wagging a finger. “Don’t forget the best part my dear.”

I look at her confused as I wait for her to speak.
