"Boss know you're here?".

"He doesn't".

"He wouldn't like you being in here".

"I've heard he ain't in the best of moods today".

"Are you telling me to leave?". I asked.

"Everything alright?". Carter asked placing our drinks on the table.

"She shouldn't be in here. He doesn't like her being in this part of town".

"She needed a break Derek".

"Finish your drinks and then get her home. I don't need him coming down here and wrecking the place".

"Let's just go". I got to my feet. "Always a pleasure Derek".

"I don't want to go home".

"We don't have to but I'd recommend you maybe try and phone him. He'll be worried".

I snorted. "I'm pretty sure Derek covered that part. I can't pee without someone telling Jake".

"You are his mate Leah. He'll always want to make sure you're safe".

"He won't answer".

"Humour me".

"Fine". I sighed.
