Her Men (book 2)

Chapter 17

Teagan

Stella arrived and she is as gorgeous as I thought she would be, the strong fierce woman I envisioned after comments everyone had proves to be correct she smiles at everyone and says her hellos, she never lets go of either of the men around her, I recognize Ian as I’ve seen him countless times but seeing his brothers show different sides of the same coin all strong and beautiful men they actually complement her she’s glowing, I don’t know which is Tristan and which is Luke, but after a bit I think I can figure it out I haven’t heard much Ian never hid it or elaborated on the relationship but I know it’s her with them all three, Ive heard of poly relationships but I’ve never personally met someone who is in one or one like this with brothers, its definitely is intriguing, she makes her rounds and finally realizes all the people who usually work this bar is in the crowd, and not behind the bar she see me and raises an eye brow when hugging Henry followed by his mom, her looks isn’t rude and she doesn’t seem mad but I can see her questioning gaze as it falls on me. I smile and have a drink ready for the birthday girl

“Hi Stella, My Name's Teagan, it so nice to finally meet you.." Giving me her hand across the bar I take it and we both smile at each other.

"It's nice to meet you, thanks for helping us tonight" She takes the drink from me looking back at the crowd, she seems a tad overwhelmed but what seems like nerves fade as one of the guys comes to her side pulling her in for a kiss,

"Hey, you" I hear him say to her and decide it’s best to walk a bit away to give them space. After a bit, I come back with another drink for Stella and ask what he’d like,

Thank you she says and after he tells me what he’d like, I turn to get his request but not before I notice him raise a brow and hear her say “ Henry's gift, new help," followed by “Good you need it," as I catch him kiss her head. I handed the 2 beers he requested over to him and followed with a coke he asked for Ian.

The night is a blast I forget my panic attack from last night and I let the hustle and bustle of a fun bar crowd take over there’s dancing and celebrating Stella sings and man does she have a great voice, Henry is drunker than I’ve ever seen him but he’s not a bad drunk he’s still sweet and caring and a tad funnier and a lot more laid back and Ian has this drunk look on his face but he hasn’t had an ounce of alcohol but watching him walk out to dance with Stella is very intoxicating the look in his eyes you can feel his dominance coming off of him, she’s his target, in the most beautiful way, they dance and while it’s with his brother and Stella it isn’t gross or weird, maybe it's that you can tell they love her and only her I can’t help but feel jealous, you can tell she’s their world, I look over at Luke and he has the same glossed over look.

Damn, she’s a lucky woman and before long they walk off the dance floor she smiles at Luke telling him let’s go, Henry makes some silly comment about how if they were there any longer we’d get a view of how their foursome works and we all laugh. She hugs him goodbye and tells him to thank his mom again for the food,

“Thanks, Teagan,” she says to me and I say No problem as she’s already walking behind her guys

Henry jumps off his stool and starts to clean but I grab the bottles out of his hands and shoo him off

“Hey, we talked about this! I got it, go!” I look at Tom for help with a silent plea and he comes to help walk him out

“She’s a big girl she got it, let’s go hunny,” he says

“Alright alright! T remember just the bar stuff the big cleaning we will do Tomorrow” he reminds me “Last call everyone! We are locking up ” He shouts as he leaves the door

There are only a couple of people left but they are walking out with Henry, I turn to see Finn grabbing some bottles of tables and walking them to the trash.

“You don’t have to,” I say to him after looking around there isn’t that big of a mess. Mostly everyone took their last drinks and tossed them while walking out. He ignores me and continues to help, I figure it’s a losing battle and continue collecting empty cups and bottles tossing them in a large rolling trash can, I hear a door open and look In the directions in the bathrooms and see Aiden walking out with bags of trash

“Trash from both Bathrooms” he smiles tossing them in the big trash can. Everyone has gone and its just us three.

“Yall don’t have to stay” I try again but neither is listening they ignore my pleas and after a few times I give up. I’m actually ok with the help we continue to clean and peaceful silence and a few quiet chats about the party a few laughs at the guest who were drunk a few of there coworkers and in less than an hour the room is back to normal, I start restocking items and last thing I do is place the dirty glasses and start the dishwasher. I walk back out to them sitting at the bar with their own fierce, hungry looks in their eyes, hell I must have been too wrapped in Stella’s night that having them look at me like that stirs something in my core, I look at Finn somehow I feel safe and move to Aidens and feel loved I wave everything away, a girl in my situation could only be so lucky. But I can't imagine things like that hell I'm probably Imagining these looks at all but man I'd give anything to have all my problems go away and allow myself to be happy with one of them, I physically shake the image from my head and it seems like whatever looks they so call had had have gone away, as I'm now looking at serious faces, Aiden offers my coat and Finn gives me my bag, the silence is thick like they want to say something but don’t as we get to the door I’m sandwich between the two.

Aiden’s quickly stop before opening the door causing me to run into his back and Finn runs into me but quickly steps back, allowing us to back up and Aiden to turn and look down at me,

“Teagan, we have to talk, I know about Leo” he glances back behind me at Finn in what seems like a hidden Apology, I look at Finn and he seems mad at him but his look down at me has me confused before panic sets in, with them both so close it feels as if I can’t breathe not in a way Leo would cause but in a way that everything I work hard on hiding the last few weeks might come to an end and I don’t know what to do. What do I even tell him?

Them?
