"I think I left my truck at the bar," I realized.

"Which was probably a good idea," she told me, "but that doesn't mean you can stay on the floor, and we don't have any rooms. Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to - "

"Ty!"

I knew that voice, so I rolled my head to try to see who it was. "What?!" I barked.

"What the fuck, man?" A pair of boots moved beside the heels. "I got him, ma'am."

"We don't have any vacancies, sir, and he's saying he needs a room. I don't want to call the cops on him, but..."

"He's drunk enough to forget where he is," the man in boots explained. "I have a room, and he's staying with me." Then he pulled at my arm. "C'mon, Ty. You have to help a little."

"Jake?" I asked, finally figuring out who this was.

"Yeah, get your ass up," he told me. "You want your fans to see you lying on the floor of the hotel lobby?"

"I'm not."

"You are."

"Oh."

So I pushed a bit, and Jake pulled at my arm until I was standing again. The nice lady tried to help, and I felt her hands nudging me around, but damned if I could make my eyes work right. All I knew was that Jake draped my arm over his shoulders and all but hauled me towards the elevator.

"You gonna puke?" he asked.

"Nope." I hoped that wasn't a lie.

Then things started moving. Sideways, upways, and overways. I couldn't keep track of all of it, but like a good man, Jake tugged me along. I just wished it was anyone else. Fucking Jake Cunningham?

"Did you fuck Lacey?" I mumbled at one point.

"Who?" he asked.

"Hot. Brunette. She was in my lap."

"When Cody showed up," Jake said, proving he'd been there too and reminding me why I'd drank so much vodka in one sentence.

"Fucking Cody," I groaned. "Man, why'd she have to leave like that?"

"Yeah..." Jake murmured. Then I heard a door click. "Ty, you need a cold shower."

"Need a bed," I told him. "One without her in it."

"Uh huh..." We were moving again.

"And I need to forget her. All about her. I tried so fucking hard, and it weren't good 'nuff. Nope, she tells me to kick rocks, and then she wears that dress? Fuck!"

"Ty?"

"And I tried to fuck Lacey. Well, I was gonna try to fuck Lacey. Lacey wanted me to fuck her, but then there was Cody, and Lacey's hot, but she's not Cody, so I - " Jake's arm left, my world tilted, and the next thing I knew, I landed on the bed.

"Ty!" Jake said again. "What happened to your room?"

"Cody's in it."

There was a sound. A groan? Moan? I wasn't sure, but Jake made it. "You're fucking Tanner's girl? Are you fucking stupid? Messing with the bullfighters?"
