Chapter 14

Colby didn’t look too happy as he silently made his way through the small crowd before disappearing down the hall. But I couldn’t decide if that made me sad or a tiny bit pleased. Maybe both? Obviously I cared way too much about the guy to want him miserable but he needed a wake-up call. If he didn’t like seeing me wrapped in a Landon-hug, he probably shouldn’t be shoving me into one. Because that’s exactly what he was doing. He’d made it clear that I should give things a try with his brother. And, well, that stung. It seems I’d been clear enough on my feelings toward him. And how had he responded? He’d offered up his brother.

“Hey, do you mind if we take off soon?”

I turned to Taylor. “Uh, yeah. Of course, no problem. I’m ready when you are.”

Geez, how long had I been standing there pondering my love life? Or lack thereof. I glanced around to ensure no one else had noticed me zoning out. But instead all I noticed were cups piled all over the kitchen. Guys leaning on the counters to avoid falling over. And a few already sprawled out on the couches. Whoa. When had everyone gotten so messed up?

“This place is a disaster.”

“I know.” Taylor glanced around. “Matt passed out.” She nodded toward the recliner. “Landon said just to let him sleep it off because there’s no way I’d be able to get him home.” She shrugged. “Looks like it’s all downhill from here.”

“No joke.” I looked at the kitchen again, wondering if I should throw away some of the empty cups, just as a guy spilled his drink all over the counter. “Um, no point in even trying to fix this. Until all the guys are gone, looks like it’s just going to get worse.”

“That’s what I’m thinking too.” She sidestepped to narrowly avoid a collision with a guy I didn’t even recognize. He muttered what sounded like a half-assed apology and Taylor’s mouth turned down slightly. “Yeah, I’m definitely ready to go.”

“Me too. I’m going to let Landon know so he doesn’t worry about us, and then I’ll meet you outside.”

“Sounds good.” She glanced around one last time, as if assuring she had a clear path, then beelined for the door.

I could only imagine what this must look like to someone who hadn’t had a single drink all night. Not much about the guys’ partying bothered me, but sloppy drunks were another story, and clearly, most of them were headed in that direction.

When I spotted Landon about to head down the hallway, I called his name then maneuvered my way through the drunk-guy obstacle course.

Landon eyed the crowd, then smiled and nodded when he finally spotted me. “I thought I heard you. What’s up?” He leaned against the wall leading to the bathroom and bedrooms.

“We’re heading out.”

“Already?” His mouth turned down. “It’s early.”

I laughed. “Actually it’s not, but either way, Taylor’s my ride and she’s already waiting for me outside.”

His expression brightened.
