18 Chapter 17 Scarlet

Anton was standing behind me, hands on his hips. He was furious. His eyes showed as much.

How did you find me? My words came out sloppy and slurred. I was a mess in front of Anton.

Hmm, lets see. I couldnt find you or Matthew anywhere, panicked and ran around, and then followed your faint scent all the way here. Im skipping a few unimportant details, but I think my point comes across. I was worried about you and you were here partying.

The bartender laughed in the background and murmured a quiet, snarky comment. Antons eyes snapped to him.

I wouldnt make such snide comments if I were you. As you can see, Im not in a particularly forgiving mood right now.

The bartender suddenly got a lot quieter.

Well, there go my chances at being a bartender. My drunken thoughts told me.

A lazy pout found its way on my face. Antonn! Whatd you do that for? Youve ruined my chance at a career in serving beer to mortals.
