✿ Reid's POV
“What kind of asshole makes you get your own beer on a first date at a baseball game?” Hernan frowns.
“I seem to date all the wrong guys,” Tracy teases, with a little smile.
I chuckle. Hernan is about to say something when the music changes and he frowns deeply.
“No. No fucking way.”
Thankfully there are no minors near us.
“What?” Tracy asks.
“The freaking song.”
“It’s good background music, man. Grow up” I tease a little.
“No” he shoots me a serious look and lifts a hand to alert the DJ. “Hey, excuse me? No jazz.”
Asha catches sight of this and laughs.
“What do you have against jazz?” Tracy gives him an amused look.
“That it sucks,” he says.
I shake my head.
“You can’t damn a whole genre like that. Maybe there’s some you would like if you gave it a chance.”
My best friend raises both eyebrows at me.
“Maybe,” he says. “But I’m sure as hell not going to do my research at the expense of my best friendʼs thirtieth birthday party.”
I donʼt argue with Hernan and he excuses himself to go let the DJ play classic rock and ’80s and ’90s hits.
“Sorry about that,” I say to Tracy.
She shrugs.
“I have strong-willed brothers so this is completely natural to me.”
I smile. Her eyes dart to my side and she makes a face.
“Which side of your family do those belong to?”
I look over my shoulder and Amy and Pamela are glaring at Tracy.
“Neither” I reply. “Thatʼs my exʼs sister and cousin.”
“The same ex you went on a date with earlier today?”
I look away from the girls at her.
“Um... yeah. But it wasnʼt a date.”
“Hm,” she lets out and returns to looking at the two. “Iʼm guessing fake boobs over there is the little bitch who made Sophie cry?”
I look at Pamela but donʼt reply.
“Good,” Tracy says like I confirmed her question, “Iʼm going to go have a little chat with her.”
My hand reaches out to grab her arm before she takes her first step and Tracy laughs.
“Relax. Iʼm just going to rip out her lashes and... rearrange her clothes or something. Nothing major. And I can promise you that I wonʼt even bite her.”
What the—?
“Thatʼs a joke right?”
I let go of her arm and Tracy looks away from Pamela at me. We stare at each other for thirty seconds and she cracks up. I sigh with relief and shake my head.
“You should have seen the look on your face. Adorable” she giggles.
I chuckle.
“You got me there, Tracy. And I am not adorable.”
