she interrupted us. "Personally, I don't care who you are. But the one thing you will remember is that in this bar we treat people, especially women, with respect." She laid into him again, this time her hand on her hip. "So, Blake was it? If you can't handle that or don't like it, then I suggest you hightail it out of here."
    I looked back at Blake and I could tell his ego had been bruised. He was slouching in his barstool, arms folded over his chest and the biggest scowl on his face. It took everything in me to keep from cracking up again. I had never met anyone like this girl, and to top it off, she was chastising Blake in front of everyone. I loved the guy like he was my fucking brother but it was funny as shit to see him like this.
    Standing up, I could tell Blake wanted to lay into her but he refrained from it. Throwing her a dirty look, he told me to get the shots and meet him back over at the table, and then walked back towards the rest of our friends. I hadn't known Blake long, but I couldn't help but think that this was the first time he had ever been talked to like this from a female.
    "I think you may have crushed his ego a bit," I said, leaning onto the bar, raising my eyebrow at her.
    "Unfortunately, he'll recover," she censured.
    I couldn't help but chuckle, this girl said exactly what was on her mind and I loved it. "Name’s Cam," I told her, holding out my hand.
    As she looked down at my offered gesture I prayed she wouldn't tell me to fuck off, we hadn't gotten off to the best start tonight, but once she placed her hand in mine and replied, "Cara," I was done for. Her soft, sweet voice, mixed with the tenderness of her touch and the way she was looking at me, almost brought me to my knees. In the brighter light, I could see her eyes clearly, and they were like nothing I had ever seen. At first glance they were your typical light brown but as I stared into them I could see bright intermixing flecks of green and gold.
    We stood there; hands and eyes linked together, for what felt like hours, but were only mere seconds. My palm was sweating and that's when I realized what a complete idiot I must have looked liked.
    Shit, she probably thinks I'm crazy. Maybe I am? No one had ever had this effect on me, not even Amber.
    Clearing my throat, I slowly released her and exhaled the breath that I had subconsciously been holding. Averting her eyes, she seemed a little on edge as she hastily grabbed a rag and started wiping down the bar.
    "Um, so...what can I get you?" she asked apprehensively as she looked up at me through her lashes.
    "Oh, yeah, four shots of Captain should do it. Thanks," I answered, taking a seat again.
    "You got it."
    Just like that she was back to work mode. Grabbing shot glasses one at a time, she flipped them in the air and caught them, before slamming them down on the counter in a straight line. Calling out to her partner in crime on the other side of the bar, she asked for the Captain. The other bartender wasted no time grasping the neck of the bottle and without even looking she tossed it with ease, behind her back to Cara. Naturally, Cara caught it and right away started filling up the glasses.
    With her eyes fixated on the shots she began to speak. "So, Cam..." The way she said my name was so damn sexy, my dick jumped at the sound of it. "Are you a pompous jerk just like your friend over there?" Nudging her head in Blake's direction. I was a little shocked at her sudden outburst, but was even more surprised what she said next. "I know your type, cocky, arrogant and pig-headed. You think you're god's gift to women. Well, let me tell you—"
    "Easy there, firecracker," I interrupted and her head snapped up at the term of endearment. "Haven't you ever heard the saying, 'don't judge a book by its cover’? Just because I'm confident and you find me irresistible," I implied, wiggling my eyebrows, "doesn't mean I'm a total jackass. Give me a break."
    Pushing the shots across the counter I could
