Decent? No way. Place is a shithole.
“Anyway, come on.” He waved to someone sitting at the front table. “Let’s show ’em what we can do.”
My eyes drifted back to my drink, my mind wandering back to Lena—just like it had all night. Fuck me. It was as if I could hear her singing again in my head.
Except it wasn’t in my head.
“Holy shit.” Aaron beamed, slamming his fist into the table. “That’s the girl from the meet and greet—Tyson’s girl’s friend!”
No way.
I whipped my head around to see Lena standing next to Mason, the two of them engaging in a cover of the song “I Remember Everything”, originally by Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves.
And it was fucking amazing.
“They should be together.” Aaron drew out a sigh. “Like, man…”
What the hell…? So much for stage fright.
I swallowed hard, removing my hat to get a better look at her. She was dressed as casually as ever…but just as before, it worked for her. She was gorgeous with the lights glinting off her red lips.
And as if she could feel my eyes on her, she started the second verse staring right at me. Her expression shifted to near shock, and she looked back to Mason, who shrugged.
Why is she looking at him?
Why the hell was I bothered by it? My head started spinning as their two voices meshed the way ours had only hours ago. It felt like…it felt like she had just betrayed me.
And that was fucking crazy of me.
“Where are you going?” Nel called after me as I headed for the stairs, leaving my second empty glass on the table.
“He’s jealous,” Aaron laughed. “I saw the video of him singing with her earlier—but in his defense, she’s got way more chemistry with him than this guy on stage…”
I couldn’t even process what he was saying as my shoes thudded down the stairs. I needed air. The woman had infected every crevice of my mind…
And I didn’t fucking want her there.
As I turned the corner to head for the door, they ended the song, and I stopped in my tracks, catching sight of Lena leaning in and placing a kiss on Mason’s cheek.
Fuck this!
Rage rolled through my body, causing my hands to shake. It had to be all the whiskey hitting me all at once. I never cared what women did, especially the ones that I didn’t. Even. Like! But all I could think about was her body under mine in that Florida room, and the way she’d looked at me when we sang that song earlier tonight.
And then she went off and sang with someone else.
I shook my head, suddenly engaging in an absolutely ridiculous war with myself. I could hear Aaron and Nel laughing still, and I was sure they were getting a kick out of me storming off like a little kid. I spun around and continued toward the exit…
I need to just go home.
“Hey,” a voice called from behind me.
I shut my eyes, willing myself to keep control, and turned around to take in the sight of Lena up close. Why the fuck is she so attractive to me now?
“What?” I snapped through gritted teeth as I held her gaze.
She raised her brow. “Um…I was just wondering if you listened to Mason. What did you think of him?”
Oh my god. She’s trying to get me to do her boyfriend a favor.
