step, she pointed at me with fierce eyes. “I’m calling Sav.”
    Trying to reason, I spoke. “Tanzi, it’s like two in the morning there.”
    “I don’t care. If I am a ho, she is a ho. Ho sisters stick together.”
    Before I could object any further, Tanzi had her phone to her ear and was talking in a soft tone. Trying my hardest to hear, I moved towards her. Suddenly her eyes focused on me and she nodded at something Sav had said. Jack moved to her side and attached himself to her neck like a vacuum, not before firing a smirk at me.
    “Talk to your girlfriend,” Tanzi whispered and shoved her phone towards me. “Come find me and give me my phone when you are finished. Oh, and no phone sex on my phone.” She winked and pulled Jack out of my office, closing the door behind her. I looked towards the closed door and collapsed on the couch.
    “Savannah?” I whispered into the phone.
    The sound of her taking a shaky deep breath filled my ears, and my eyes instantly closed as my emotions ran out of control.
    “I love when you call me Savannah.”
    “Fuck, I miss you.”
    “Yeah, I miss you too.”
    I noticed the hesitation in her voice the moment she spoke.
    “What’s wrong?”
    “Nothing. I am okay.”
    “Savannah, I am pretty sure I know when something is wrong with my girlfriend.”
    “It’s nothing, Tate… Fine, I got a text from Lucas.”
    “And?”
    “He told me you were checking out chicks.”
    “Cheerleaders, Sav. They were the Chargers cheerleaders. Jack and I watched football and we always watch the cheerleaders. It’s what we do. Lucas is a fucking asshole who needs to stay out of my business.”
    “He is just protective.”
    “Stop defending him. He needs to mind his own business and worry about his girlfriend and stop worrying about mine.”
    “We are friends, Tate. Friends look out for each other. He is just looking out for me.”
    I rolled my eyes, knowing full well that Lucas had a hidden agenda. “Is that why you haven’t been returning my calls?”
    “No it’s not, I promise. The time difference sucks balls.” She took a deep breath that echoed through the phone. “How’s LA? What’s new?” Sav changed the subject as quickly as it began.
    “I’m working a lot.”
    “So I’ve heard.”
    I rolled my eyes. “Was it Tanzi or Ali?”
    “They are worried about you, and I need for you to take care of yourself. Believe me, your body needs to be in peak physical condition for what I have planned for you when I come home. I am going to have you on your back for days.”
    “Don’t change the subject, Sav.”
    “I’m not. I just don’t want to have an argument with you over the phone, especially if I can’t have amazing make-up sex with you.”
    I hissed as my body reacted instantly to her words. “You are going to make me explode in my pants right here.”
    “No phone sex, remember?”
    We both sat in silence on opposite sides of the country, listening to the other breathe. My anger towards Lucas had subsided by a simple word from Savannah, but I knew it was still playing on her mind. My eyes scanned the four corners of my office and it hit me. Owning a bar definitely had its perks, and I had used them to my advantage on more than one occasion, but what had started as a crazy dream with loose chicks and endless booze was now my livelihood. Red Velvet had been the dream of a guy mourning the life he’d thought was mapped out for him, but now Red Velvet was the place that was going to support my family. My thoughts had been running rampant. Time on my own always ended up with decisions being made at the drop of a hat, and I hoped I didn’t lose her when I made the toughest decision yet.
    “I’m coming to New York.”
    Her laughter filled my ears. “Don’t be silly. I’ll be home in a few weeks. You have work.”
    Little did she know I was already planning my arrival in the Big Apple.

My suit was crisp, my shoes were shined, and I was in complete business mode, and
