Youre going to do great, Lizzy said as they reached the mini Tiki bar. The air was cool in the high fifties and the scent of various meats on the grill filled the air. Even though theyd had the party catered, apparently Grant had insisted on grilling some things himself. I wouldnt have recommended you apply for it otherwise.Athena ducked behind the bar and grinned at the array of bottles and other garnishes. Shed been friends with Lizzy the past couple months and knew her friends tastes by now. As she started mixing up their drinks she said, If I fail, hopefully they wont blame you.Lizzy just snorted but eyed the drink mix curiously. Purple?Just wait. Youll like it. She rolled the rims of the martini glasses in sugar as she spoke.Whered you learn to do this?I bartended a little in college and there were a few occasions on the job where I had to assist because staff called out sick for an event. Thered been a huge festival in Madrid shed helped out with a year ago where three of the staff had gotten food poisoning, so in addition to everything else shed been in charge of, shed had to help with drinks on and off. That had been such a chaotic, ridiculous job.At least youll have something to fall back on if you do fail, Lizzy teased.I seriously hope not. She set the two glasses on the bar and strained the purple concoction into them. With the twinkle lights strung up around the lanai and the ones glittering in the pool, the sugar seemed to sparkle around the rim. This is called a wildcat.You have to make me one of those too! The unfamiliar female voice made Athena look up.Her eyes widened as her gaze locked with Quinn freaking Brody, the too-sexy-man with an aversion to virgins. He was with the tall woman whod just asked Athena to make a drink. But she had eyes only for Quinn. Her heart about jumped out of her chest. What was he doing here of all places? At least he looked just as surprised to see her.She ignored him because she knew if she stared into those dark eyes shed lose the ability to speak and then shed inevitably embarrass herself.The tall, built-like-a-goddess woman with pale blonde hair he was with smiled widely at Athena. Only if you dont mind, she continued, nodding at the drinks. They look so good.Ah, you can have this one. I made an extra for the lush here. She tilted her head at Lizzy with a half-smile. Athena had planned to drink the second one herself but didnt trust her hands not to shake if she made another. She couldnt believe Quinn was standing right in front of her, looking all casual and annoyingly sexy in dark jeans and a long-sleeved sweater shoved up to his elbows. Why did his forearms have to look so good?Ha, ha. Lizzy snagged her drink as Athena stepped out from behind the bar. Athena, this is Quinn Brody and Dominique Castle. They both work for Red Stone but Dominique is almost as new as you.Forcing a smile on her face, Athena nodded politely at both of themand tried to ignore the way Quinn was staring at her. Shed had no freaking idea he worked for Red Stone. He looked a bit like a hungry wolf. Just like on their last datetwo months ago. When hed decided she was too much trouble, being a virgin and all. Jackass. Its so nice to meet you both. She did a mental fist pump when her voice sounded normal. I promised Belle Id help out inside but I hope to see you both around tonight. Liar, liar.Me too. Thanks again for the drink, Dominique said cheerfully while Lizzy just gave Athena a strange look.Athena wasnt sure what Quinns expression was because shed decided to do the mature thingand studiously ignore him.
