Chapter 3 - Baby Girl

I am not going to tell him my name because I am hoping he'll act like this whole conversation didn't happen and will walk away.

"Baby girl" I say with a smirk.

I watch as he grins and shakes his head. Clearly, he wasn't expecting my response.

"Alright, I'll go first. My name is Cash."

I play with the string on my tea bag avoiding eye contact.

"No It's not."

"It is, my mama named me after The Man in Black."

I smile because I was raised on Johnny Cash. I hated country music but he was the only exception. He stares at me for a little too long and I start to notice a silence between us that's anything but awkward. He's waiting for me to say my name.

"I'm waiting..."

"For?"

"Your Name?"

I roll my eyes and in the bitchiest tone possible I remind him of my name.

"I told you, my name is Babygirl."

I watch as Dayna walks towards us with a coffee, water, and another hot tea. She sets the hot tea in front of me and the rest in front of Cash.

"For your hangover sir!" I see her wink at him in the corner of my eye. I laugh a little because I love when Dayna puts her seriousness aside and instead of being a boss, she likes to make her customers feel at home, even if that means teasing them.

"Thank you, ma'am." Cash says as he brings the glass of water to his lips and starts to chug more than half. I watch as he sets the drink down and licks his lips. The same lips I am tempted to kiss again. The same lips I want on my neck all over again. The same lips that...

I stop the rest of the thoughts flooding my head while Cash and Dayna are in my presence. I take another sip of my fresh tea Dayna has brought and feel the ache in my head start to ease up. I really should eat something but I'm afraid my stomach won't handle it and I don't know how to explain to Cash that I'm not going to the bathroom to hook up with him, I'm going to the bathroom to puke everything from the night before up. I do not see this guy as a man who will hold my hair up as I upchuck into the toilet.

"Are you sure I can't get you anything to eat?" Dayna asks me one more time.

"No, not today, thank you."

"Alrighty, well let me go grab this young man's order I'll be back."

I redirect my eyes back to Cash and he is biting his lip.

"What?" I ask annoyed.

I'm not sure if I'm annoyed that this boy hasn't left my table or if it's because him biting his lip is so damn attractive, I may be losing my mind over something so stupid.

"I'm thinking of all the things I want to do to you Baby girl. I want to finish what we started last night." He runs his fingers threw his hair pushing it back on his head.

I'm recovering from choking on my tea because of his comment.

"I'm thinking of taking you into that bathroom and pinning you against the sink. I want to tuck your hair behind your ear and start kissing on your neck, I would kiss on it and slightly suck just to tease you. Then, I would kiss your lips until you moaned my name...."

I just stare at him because he cannot be for real right now.

"........ I would tease you by dragging my fingertips up your thigh till I got to your hip. I would give it a gentle squeeze...."
