Chapter Seven
Dane
“Alright,guys. Let’s call it a night,” I say as I unplug my guitar and place it in the stand by the door.
The guys pack up and say goodbye, but Sean stays on the couch next to Alissa. Both of them are heavily drunk, and their closeness makes me uneasy.
“Sean, you need to leave, man. We both have to work in the morning,” I say as I walk to the front door and hold it open for him.
He looks up at me with surprise written on his face. “Oh, okay. I guess I’ll talk to you guys tomorrow then.”
He walks out, and I close the door behind him without saying goodbye. I lock the door, and when I turn around, Alissa’s up and taking empty bottles and cans to the kitchen. I follow after her.
“What the fuck was that?” I say through clenched teeth.
She turns around to face me, confusion on her face. “What was what?”
“That little show you did tonight and then your little date with Sean.”
She laughs. “What are you talking about?” She turns off the kitchen light and goes to the bedroom, leaving me following behind her again.
“I know you were just trying to make me jealous,” I state flatly as I pull off my shirt and toss it onto the floor.
“I was not!” She pulls her shorts down nice and slow.
My eyes follow the material and for a moment, I’m distracted. I shake my head clear of the dirty images that flash before my eyes. “So, the singing and flirting with every guy in the band?”
“I was just having fun, Dane. I listen to you guys play music every night. I wanted in on it. And I wasn’t flirting with those guys. I have no interest in them. You knowthat.”
I kick my jeans off and sit on the edge of the bed. “And Sean?”
She pulls off her top, revealing her dark purple, lace bra and panty set. “What about Sean? I’ve never been interested in him. You’re the one I want. We were just talking and having a good time.” She comes to sit on my lap, straddling me.
My hands rest on her hips with my fingertips squeezing, holding her to me. “I don’t like them looking at you. And I don’t like you egging them on.”
She wraps her arms around my neck and leans her forehead against mine. “I’m sorry. I was just having a good time. I wasn’t trying to cause problems.” She brushes her lips against mine.
I kiss her passionately, realizing that I have something to lose. “Do me a favor?”
She brushes the hair from my eyes. “What?”
“Stay away from Sean.”
She laughs. “Sean? Really?”
“He called dibs.”
She leans back in my arms. “What do you mean he called dibs?”
I smile and lie back on the bed, placing my hands behind my head so I can look up at her still on my lap. “Before we’d even met, he called dibs. I ignored it and went after you anyway. He likes you, and I don’t know what he’s willing to do to get your attention, if you know what I mean.”
She places her hands against my chest and leans over me, causing her blonde hair to cascade over her shoulder. “And you don’t trust me?”
I remove my hands from behind my head and wrap them around her wrists, pulling her hands away from my chest so she falls closer. “I trust you. It’s him I don’t trust, and I’d rather not beat my best friend’s ass because he tried making a move for you.” I press my lips to hers and roll her over so I’m on top. I plan on taking my time with her, not caring about the night we’ve just been through or the fact we both have to get up for work in four and a half hours. She’s mine, and I want to show her that time and time again.

We both getto work at nine in the morning. We work for several hours before my dad comes in and goes straight to his office. I wait on multiple tables, but the place is dead this early in the day. I’m relieved when my break rolls around. I head out back and sit at the picnic table, pulling a pack of cigarettes from my pocket. I don’t smoke much, but today sucks and being hungover isn’t helping. I place the cigarette between my lips and light it, taking a long drag.
