“I’ll get a towel.” Helpfully, Ginny took off toward the counter.
Sophie was proud of herself until Chastity unbuttoned two more buttons on her blouse, exposing the lacy cups of her bra and the generous swells of her breasts to pluck several ice cubes out. Giving Jody a side eye, Sophie saw he was enjoying the view.
She maintained her composure and managed to hold it together as Ginny handed Chastity the towel and she jerked it out of her hand.
Sophie was moving before she realized what she was doing. She jerked it out of Chastity’s hand just as rudely as she had done to Ginny. Smacking her in the chest with the towel, Sophie rubbed her chest roughly with it while at the same time pushing her back down into the chair. Chastity franticly tried to take the towel away.
“Ow, that hurts!”
Sophie removed the towel. “Sorry, I just didn’t want you to catch a chill. I apologize for spilling the water. Of course, the salad is on the house.”
Chastity shot up from the chair. “Keep the damn salad,” she spat out, grabbing her purse and storming out.
Unconcerned, Sophie watched her leave. Then, picking up the salad and the glass, she turned to put them in the bus bin. Jody, Ginny, and Logan were all standing there, staring at her.
“What?” She frowned at the mixture of emotions on their faces.
Ginny started laughing so hard she had to sit down, Logan took the towel to wipe up the water that had spilled with a wide grin on his face, and Jody looked dumbfounded.
Sophie took off toward the cleaning area then stopped to glare at Jody. “You might want to warn your friends that the next time I see them flashing their tits at you, they will be escorted out of the restaurant.”
“To be fair, she wasn’t flashing them until you dropped the water on her.”
Sophie stared at Jody through slitted eyes. He was smart enough to take a step back.
“She was acting like she was on fire, so I put her ass out.”
Chapter Thirty
She was sitting on the couch, blow drying her hair, when she heard a knock on the door. Turning the blow dryer off, she went to the door to crack it open.
“What do you want, Jody?”
“We need to talk.”
The firm tone he used sent tingles down her back.
“Talk to me in the morning.” She started to shut the door.
Jody put out a hand, grasping the door and preventing it from closing.
“I’m not dressed.” Sophie used her weight against the door to prevent him from pushing inside.
“Go get changed. I’ll wait here.”
She could tell from his expression that there was no use arguing. Jody was determined to come inside. She could let him in, or he would come in regardless.
“Great,” she told him sarcastically. “Give me a couple of minutes.”
Jody removed his hand, allowing her to close the door.
She went to the bedroom and removed her nightgown to put on a pair of baby blue sweatpants. Not able to bear the thought of putting a bra back on, she chose a thick black sweatshirt. When she left the bedroom, she was tempted to lock the door and go to bed. If she wasn’t certain he had a key to the door, she would have.
Sophie opened the door. “You can come inside.” Folding her arms over her chest, she watched him. “I’m tired. I’ve been up since five and was about to go to bed. What was so important you wanted to talk tonight?”
Jody shut the door. “I want to know why you threw that water at Chastity?”
“I didn’t. The bag hit the glass, and it spilled.”
“You did it deliberately. You certainly didn’t act upset that you did.”
Sophie gave him a careless shrug. “I wasn’t.”
“So, it wasn’t an accident?”
Stomping to a chair, she threw herself down. “Of course it was. Why would I deliberately spill water on her?”
“That’s what I’m trying to figure out.”
“Then you’re wasting both of our time. It was an accident, plain and simple.”
“I don’t think it’s simple at all. I think it was premeditated. I think you knew what you were going to do when you brought the water over.”
Sophie laughed at him. “How was I supposed to know she was going to place a to-go order?”
“You would have found another way.”
She rolled her eyes at him. “Why would I do that?”
“Because you were jealous,” he said with raised brows.
“Over whom?” She deliberately played obtuse.
“Me.”
“You’re so full of yourself,” she scoffed. “I wasn’t jealous over you.”
Jody’s expression showed his disbelief. “If you changed your mind about us being friends, all you had to do was say so.”
She narrowed her eyes on him angrily. “I haven’t changed my mind. As unbelievable as it sounds to you, I’m not attracted to you—I proved that to you.”
“Yes, you did.”
Her hands went to the arms of the chair, preparing to rise.
