I hope he drops her, I thought to myself and then winced. I didn’t want the woman to get hurt. As we got inside the hotel room, I went right to the bar and poured myself a whiskey, tossing it back and then refilling the glass as a couple of the guys behind me chuckled. I didn’t regularly drink hard liquor, but tonight I was making an exception.
The next hour was probably the longest hour of my life. By the time my gang came up to me, I was well on my way to being drunk.
“Harvey, if I knew you could dance that well, I would have never gotten involved with Alex,” Lexi said as she kissed my cheek. “You were so smooth, so perfect!”
Everyone had something to say about my dance, but no one said anything about the second dance. Waiters showed up with food, and everyone began to mill about and enjoy it before I finally lost my patience and yelled to get everyone’s attention.
“Come on! Someone tell me how the other dance went? Was their dance better?”
Jake laughed. “Well, I don’t know. He didn’t try to have sex with her in the middle of the floor.”
“I didn’t try to have sex with her,” I stated, confused. “Are you saying that they didn’t dance as well together?”
Alice sighed and stepped forward. “No one here is going to tell you the truth, but they did look good together. They danced just as well as you two did.”
“Did it look like she liked him more?”
Trevor cracked up. “Dude, they were dancing. Who knows which one of you she might like better.”
“I don’t get how you are supposed to like someone by just dancing with them,” Joe said.
Wyatt shrugged. “Me either.”
I ignored the guys and turned back to Alice. “Did he kiss her?”
“No,” Maggie said as she stepped forward and put her hand on my arm. “He didn’t, and they didn’t stand there looking at one another as long as you two did. I think you have a good chance of being picked.”
“You think so?”
“Yeah, you got a fifty-fifty chance,” Trevor joked and stepped around me to get more food.
“You are no help.”
“When do you find out?” Maggie asked.
“Sunday,” I replied.
“Well, Trevor is right,” Alice said. “You have a fifty percent chance that she will pick you. Unless you scared her away with the kiss.”
Would that count against me? It wasn’t like it had been planned. It had come out of nowhere because it had been a natural reaction. We were dancing, and it just seemed like the perfect time to share that first kiss with her. What if I screwed up my chances by following my heart on that one?
Shit! I stepped to the side and sank into a chair. I probably did. I most likely ruined my chances by doing that. She probably thinks I’m some sex-starved maniac who kisses strangers all the time.
“Hey, stop beating yourself up. Personally, if that had been me, I would pick the hot guy who laid a scorching hot kiss on me over the guy who just grinned,” Alice said. “Let’s just hope you swept her off her feet.”

Itouched my lips as I rounded the corner and stared at the camera. “Did that just happen?”
There was some laughter around me, and I turned and looked back at the closed door. “Did that really just happen? Did I just kiss him?”
Tarin stepped up to me. “Well, you tell me. What do you think just happened?”
“I think I just danced the most exciting dance of my life, and then this gorgeous and sexy man kissed me.”
“Were you expecting that?”
