L una and I have been working in the office for a couple hours when her phone won’t stop buzzing.
“I’m sorry I normally don’t have my phone on at work but we are house hunting and I should probably take this.” She holds up a finger gesturing she will only be a minute when the blonde from the other day walks in and leans herself over the counter.
Her cosmetically enhanced tits are basically falling out of her cropped puffer jacket as she smiles at Cooper.
“Hey Jenna. Are you here to reschedule?” Cooper asks her and I push back the curtain a little to watch their interaction.
She walks around the counter and leans her back against it as she drags a finger down his arm. “I was hoping you could fit me in tonight. Maybe do me after hours. What do you say, baby?”
I stand from the chair and look over my shoulder. Luna is still on the phone so I take a seat on the edge of the desk and watch from behind the curtain. Cooper can’t see me from where he is but I bet if the chick bothered to even look around she could.
Cooper flips through a calendar book on the counter. “I have my last appointment booked tonight. I can fit you in next week if that works?” He speaks professionally but doesn’t push her away.
Jenna leans in and whispers something in his ear and I take step forward. She spots me then and gives me a little wink.
“Huh, alright. Well, give me just a minute. Take a seat. I have to go check something in the back.” Cooper gestures to the sofa before he turns and stops in his tracks.
His eyes lock on mine and he knows instantly that I’m fucking pissed. He takes a deep intentional breath before he continues walking over.
I don’t bother waiting for him before I turn around and slam open the back door, stomping out onto the shop’s covered patio.
“You have to check something? What the fuck Coop? Something ?” I seethe, throwing my hands in the air. “Am I just a thing to you?”
“Fuck baby. No, god no. Jenna just makes me nervous.” He admits and I raise a brow. “Not like that, I just never know what she’s going to do or fucking say and with you here now I just didn’t want her doing any crazy shit.”
“What like beg you to fuck her on the tattoo table or to take her home?” I yell “If she makes you so uncomfortable maybe she needs to be shown how to fucking behave.”
Just as I’m about to blow my top Luna pokes her head out the door. “Hey I hate to ask but our realtor called and there is a place I’ve been dying to see but she can’t make it. It’s apparently some other guy from a neighboring office who is able to do the showing. It gets so dark so early this time of year and I’m a little nervous to meet up with a strange guy alone. So basically what I’m asking is would you mind coming with me?” Luna asks and I nod.
“Just a sec and I’ll get my stuff.” I reply and she shuts the door.
“This is good. My next appointment isn’t until four. I will be able to concentrate and get Jenna out of here if you’re gone and I know that sounds bad but just trust me, okay. Nothing will happen and I’ll give you a full run down when you get back,” he takes my hands and kisses my fingers. “I already did her sketch and took her deposit. If this was a new appointment I would cancel but this was set before you came back to me. Go with Luna and I’ll get Jenna out of here.”
I nod knowing it’s irrational for him to drop a customer this late in the game. I just can’t stand the way she hangs all over him.
“Have you fucked her?” I hesitate but ask anyway, needing to know before I walk out of here.
“Dorogoy.” His pleading eyes tell me everything I need to know.
I yank the door open and start packing up my stuff. Ignoring Cooper when he follows me in. He sits on the desk and brushes my hair back with a finger. “Come on. Don’t be mad.”
“I’m not mad. I’m just processing.” I hiss, swiping my jacket off the chair and pushing past the curtain.
“Trin, wait.” He grabs my wrist in the middle of the shop and Jenna’s eyes widen as she leans forward to watch us. “Come over when you get back?”
“Yeah.” I mumble, looking down at the floor before feeling bold beneath Jenna’s stare and decide to kiss him instead. I don’t want her knowing she’s gotten under my skin.
I drop my purse on the floor and throw my arms around his shoulders and weave my fingers in his hair. I slide my tongue across the seal of his lips and he opens for me instantly as I deepen our kiss and his hands drop from my waist to my ass.
“What the fuck Cooper!?” Jenna stands up and walks towards us. “Who’s this slut?”
I turn around and deck her right in the mouth and she stumbles to the floor as her lip starts to bleed. “I’m his fucking girlfriend, bitch. Now sit down and shut up or get the fuck out.”
Looking over at Coop he has both hands in his hair and he is making the squinty face he used to make when I would do something crazy but he thought it was hot.
“Cooper!” Jenna whines from the floor.
Luna’s mouth is hanging open with a phone in her hand and I look back at Cooper with a brow raised.
“Well she ain’t wrong. I can fit you in now or I can refund part of your deposit.” He announces fighting back a smirk.
“Fuck you Cooper! You were boring in bed anyway” Jenna yells as she storms out the front door.
“Luna, I’m so sorry. That was incredibly unprofessional.”
I can’t read the expression on her face right now and it’s totally freaking me out.
“Looks like I have the right person coming with me but we really should go or else we might be late.” Luna declares and I’m completely shocked by how laid back she is about me assaulting someone on the job.
I grab my stuff and follow Luna towards the door.
Cooper shouts after us, “Bring her home in one piece when you’re done.”
Luna turns and shoots back, “Which one of us are you talking to?” She laughs pushing the door open.
