-That was the worst idea I ever had ! Said Jack standing behind the bar.
-Of course not, you'll be great ! Said Rayane, sat on a chair on the other side.
Jack was obviously very nervous.
-You weren't there when I was humiliated by the Spoon cook, I still feel the shame of that experience.
-What ? That Mona humiliated you ?
-No ! Not her, the previous one, the crazy one. She was a psychopath by the way. I feel like she wanted to kill me for not depicting well enough her cuisine.
-I'm sure you exagerate...
-Her murder trial is taking place right now in Montpellier, interrupted Jack.
-Oh... Ok.
Jack let himself fall on a chair.
-What did I had in mind when I applied for that job ?
-You just wanted to be able to offer me a nice present for my birthday ? Said Rayane with a huge grin before taking a sip from his glass.
-You wish. It's in six months anyway.
-You're just worrying too much, I'll be there too, just in case you need help you know.
-Rayane, you're not supposed to help me, you're not paid for that.
Rayane shrugged.
-I don't care. And also if I can see you making cocktails shirtless more often I will not complain.
Jack shook his head but smiled at the same time.
A waiter passed near them, letting an empty tray on the counter with a small smile towards Jack.
Rayane followed him with a very dark glance.
-Are you sure you're staying here just to help me ? Asked Jack.
Rayane looked back to him quickly and hid himself behind his glass.
-Of course, what else could it be ?
-To keep an eye on the other guys around ?
-What other guys ?
-You know you're not that subtle Rayane.
He sighed.
-Ok, I just don't like how they look at you.
-How do they look at me then ?
-I don't know, like you're a poor little lamb and they're ferocious hyenas.
-How could I have miss that ? Answered Jack laughing.
-Sometimes you're too innocent for your own good that's all.
Jack turned around the bar and came closer to his boyfriend who instantly pulled his arms around his waist.
-Aren't you just a little bit... Jealous ? Teased Jack.
-Jealous ? Me ? That's ridiculous.
They looked into each other's eyes.
-But, he continued after a short pause, if I see one of them trying something it will be my murder trial next summer.
-I was sure !
-Hmmm...
-I'll bring you chocolate in jail, said Jack before kissing Rayane's lips.
