Passing Through

Chapter 11 - Chaos in Party Form

October 5th, 2017

You were eating a burger and occasionally refilling the drinks of the two people sitting at the bar. It was in the middle of the afternoon, so it wasn't that busy, Clyde was still gone, and it was all up to you to take care of everything. You heard the door open and now out of instinct, you immediately welcomed whoever came in. You were just about to take another big bite out of your bacon burger when all of a sudden you were jolted out of your daze by a familiar voice.

"I leave you for a few days and you're eating food all out of the open in front of customers." You stopped mid bite to look at Clyde who thankfully by the smile on his face was only saying it to tease you.

"A girls gotta eat." you place down the burger back on the plate and brush your hands over it, you look over at Clyde who is still in front of the bar. "What can I get you stranger?"

Clyde laughs. "My bar back for starters." You give him a fake pensive look. As Clyde started heading to the back of the bar, you finally notice Jimmy was behind him the whole time and just smiling at you as he took a seat.

"Hey there Y/n, don't mind me from...whatever that was." You chose to ignore him and change the subject.

"So how was the thing y'all just needed to do?" you look back and forth towards Jimmy and Clyde, who was now behind the bar next to you.

"Great, we are having a celebration tomorrow night for a successful..." Jimmy looks around to see if any people were either too close or listening on. "Job." He says winking at you. You roll your eyes at him and look at Clyde who was lightly laughing at you and Jimmy's interaction.

"So, we are celebrating you getting revenge on your sister's old manager?" You looked at both Clyde and Jimmy, and both looked at each other like they were having a conversation with their eyes.

"This was something different." Clyde says nonchalantly like he did not just confess another crime to you. Before you can ask something, Jimmy deflects by speaking out first.

"It's just a small group of family and friend's Y/n, you've already met a good group of them already. Least I know you've met Mellie and Joe Bang.

You do a quick huff laugh. "Joe Bang? I'm pretty sure I would remember someone named Joe Bang."

Clyde hummed to get your attention, "You actually have, he's the guy with the red shirt looking for Jimmy the other night." You slowly looked at Clyde. You can't believe your hearing Clyde talk about someone who looked like he was ready to shed blood that night would ever be invited to a party ever from the Logans.

"We patch things up, he will be more civil tomorrow I'm sure. Maybe you can properly introduce yourself to him now." Jimmy smiles a big shit eating grin, one that you were actually getting tired of seeing cause you knew now that when Jimmy got one of these smiles, he was about to say something snarky. "unless he gets to you first." Jimmy looks at Clyde quickly before focusing on his beer and taking a sip. Clyde looks down. You wonder what Jimmy was assuming and if Clyde said something about you in private. You really never knew what Clyde actually thought about you when you were dancing around the bar with outfits that left little to the imagination, you just didn't even think that he could think negatively about it. "Actually, Clyde you should invite that Tippi girl." Your fear of what Clyde truly thinks of you is suddenly cut when you hear the devils' name said out loud.

"Tippi? You finally heard back from her or something?" You were trying to sound as nonchalant as possible in hopes if she tried to text him again, she didn't tell him about their one on one at the bar.
