Chapter Eleven
Mason
When I gotin Dane’s car, we followed after the girls. He followed them to town, but when they went left to get on the interstate, Dane went right. Soon after, we pulled up to his house.
“Please tell me we aren’t partying at your house.”
He let out a laugh. “No, I’m just stopping by to grab some music. How can we take a road trip and not jam out?” He looked at me like I was stupid.
Twenty minutes later, he was back. He climbed into the driver’s seat and pulled his seatbelt around him.
“What the fuck took you so long?”
“I was hungry so I grabbed something to eat. Then I had to use the bathroom because no way do I want to stop and take a dump at a gas station.”
“So where’s the music?”
“Oh, I remembered that Alissa transferred it over to my phone and it works on Bluetooth.” He grinned.
I turned toward him, ready to hit him with whatever I could grab. “Are you shitting me? You made us wait in the car for twenty minutes for nothing?”
He raised his brow. “I’m sorry, I forgot.” He pulled his phone from his pocket and started up Incubus before backing out of the driveway.
Trent had crashed out in the backseat while we were waiting for Dane to get back to the car so I finally reached back and smacked him on the leg about two hours into the drive. He jumped awake. “It’s not my turn, I did it last time,” Trent mumbled.
Dane and I both laughed at Trent talking in his sleep.
I shook his leg again and watched his eyes pop open. “What’s your problem?”
“Macy has been fighting sleep. We haven’t gotten a full night of sleep in weeks,” he groaned before pulling off his seatbelt and laying across the backseat.
I shook my head but turned around, deciding to let him sleep. I prayed to have the same problem one day.
Already I was picturing turning one of the spare bedrooms into a nursery. I thought about Lennox and how beautiful she would be carrying my child, getting up to do late night feedings, and having a little baby girl that looked just like her mama. I looked forward to all of it.
Dane and I argued over the music for most of the trip. I didn’t bother paying attention to where we were going, instead I just trusted him to not kill me. It was a good thing I didn’t think about the time that he tied weights to my ankles and tossed me off the dock. I might not have been so trusting then.
Dane shook my arm, waking me up. I hadn’t even realized I fell asleep.
“Wake up, we’re here.”
I wiped the sleep from my eyes before stepping out of the car and looking up to a giant hotel and casino. The air was warm and thick, I took a deep breath and breathed in the smells of the ocean.
“Florida?” I squinted against the sun.
“Hollywood.” Dane smiled.
It seemed like as good of place as any. We grabbed our bags and walked in. While Dane checked us in, I pulled my phone out of my pocket. I had a text from Lennox. I opened it up to see a picture of her sitting at a pool with a drink in her hand.
I quickly sent back, “Have fun and be careful. Remember to call me when you guys are in for the night. I love you, baby.”
I put the phone back in my pocket and found Dane staring at me. “What?”
“You are not allowed to be on your phone all night,” he warned.
“I won’t be. Just check in and let’s grab some food.”
After stashing our bags away in our hotel room, we headed across town to a steak house.
