The Calm Before the Storm (Jay Halstead)

Chapter 6

Cassie's P.O.V.

"Oh! Bulls eye!" I raised my arms above my head in excitement.

"I guess it wasn't just beginners luck" Jay said followed by a laugh.

"Like I said, I'm full of surprises" I said to him as I raised my eyebrows. I walked back to the dart board and picked off the darts from the board.

"I'm gonna get another beer you want one?" Jay asked.

I took off one dart before turning around to him "Yea sure, thanks" I turned back around and continued to take off the darts.

Jay and I had been hanging out the past few days since Molly's. I was enjoying getting to know him better. I took the rest of the darts off and turned around when I heard a whistle behind me. One guy stood next to the small table that Jay and I were preoccupying. He had a wide smirk on his face.

"You got a nice ass sweetheart"

I rolled my eyes as I slowly took a few steps forward "Get lost" I stood behind the line for the darts.

"Why don't you come back to my place? I'll show you a good time" He grabbed my butt causing me to jump.

"Hey, she said to get lost"

I turned around to see Jay approaching the guy. The guy scoffed as he turned around back to me  "Don't mind this guy sweetheart. Come on" He grabbed my arm.

"Hey!" Jay grabbed onto the guys shoulder making him turn back around to him "Don't touch her" He had a serious expression on his face.

"And what are you going to do about it?" The guy pushed Jay causing him to move a few steps back.

Jay took it but after a few seconds he swung at the idiot causing him to fall back and hold the side of his face. I moved back.

The idiot stood up and looked at me "Your gonna regret that" He said as he glanced at Jay then stumbled out of the bar.

I set down the darts on the table "You okay?" He asked me.

"Yea, he deserved it"

"Sorry about that" He said to me.

I chuckled "Maybe we should leave already"

"Yea, we can grab another beer at Molly's" He said grabbing his jacket from the chair.

"Okay" I grabbed my jacket from the other chair and put it on as we walked out.

"Did you really say that to him?" Jay asked me as he was laughing.

"I did! He was seriously the worst landlord I've ever had" I said laughing alone with him.

Gabby was cleaning a few glasses behind the bar. She walked over to Kelly who was sitting behind the bar. "Hey. Your sister seems pretty comfortable over there"

Kelly swallowed his drink and turned to see what Gabby was talking about. He noticed his sister smiling and laughing alone with Jay. He softly smiled as he turned back to Gabby "She's moving on" He grabbed his beer and took another sip.
