Tempest gripped his glass a bit tighter at that but says nothing, managing a smile.

She turned back to Tempest with a smile. "Sorry he seemed nervous earlier so I thought I'd introduce him."

"It's alright. He seems like a nice guy." Temp tells her

"He is- just a little unsure. But I've known him for years, honestly just a coincidence that we both work here." She laughed leaning against the counter.

"Yeah." He gave a little chuckle "Glad you have some friends here…" he drained the rest of his glass.

"You alright?" She asked gently. He seemed irritated.

"Yeah I'm fine, don't worry about it." He softened his expression and loosened the grip on the glass.

"I am though. Did I do something?" She asked reachibg over to take his hand.

"No you've done nothing wrong I-"

"He's just becoming attached again." Felix softly said

"Attached? Attached to what?" She asked softly.

"Well to…you Jo." The feline told her as Tempest gripped her hand gently, his ears pinned to the sides of his head as he gave a nervous little smile then dropped his gaze to the table.

She felt her stomach flutter and her mouth dropped a little. "O-oh!" She said surprised.

"I'm…um sorry I can't fully help it…once it starts to happen the feeling just grows rapidly." Tempest muttered, almost not able to be heard over the noise of the bar

She frowned a bit. "Why are you sorry? I was just surprised." She said leaning closer so he could hear her.

"I'm just…I'm just scared…feeling this again." he confessed, his eyes weren't really focused on the world around him

She put a hand on his cheek. "We all are Temp."

He nodded a bit "I'll let you back to work. Don't want to get you in trouble." He told her, but kissed her hand before he made his way down from the stool

"Wait- Tempest-" She said grabbing his hand again.

"Yes Jo?" He asked as he turned back around to face her

She leaned over the counter and kissed him softly. She pulled away with a gentle smile. "See you at the apartments."

He had the biggest smile on his face as he left. "See ya there Jo!"

Joanna quickly turned away from the group attempting not to get teased. She quickly went to take orders and clean tables. The night seemed to drag from then on.

Tempest went back home and got the sheets out of the basement washer and put them in the dryer, then went up to organize and clean out his room

After awhile the bar had slowed down and Joanna was wiping down the counters and rinsing out the glasses. She yawned and rubbed her face. "Am I good to go boss?" She asked tossing the towel on the counter. Her boss nodded with a smile. "Drive safe Jo, have a good night." He smiled waving. Joanna waved back and walked out to her car starting it and heading home.

Tempest had cleaned his apartment room and was just finishing up a round in Halo when he heard the familiar sound of Joanna's car pulling up
