Chapter 11

Murphy

I’m clearly not built for boys and drama. One minute, my tummy was full of butterflies, and I wanted to freeze time and take back all of the eye rolls and sighs I’d given Casey Coffield over the years. Then he left just as quickly as he came, with an incredibly fake reason—and I wanted to choke him for being ridiculous and wasting my time.

And for making my heart flutter.

And for getting my hopes up.

For having hope that I was anything more than a project in the first place.

This is not how things progressed with the nerdy librarian and the guy who was way more into his bass guitar than me while we were dating last year. I thought those relationships were weird, because…well, the guys were weird. But now, I’m thinking that is normal, because this…it’s weird.

Of course, this is also not a relationship.

This is Casey Coffield, and honestly, this could all just be a convenient stop along the way taking over my songs and making them his and getting the credit for them. I don’t really think that’s what he’s doing, but that’s where my mind keeps going.

Thank god for Paul’s tonight. I need it to clear my head. I also think I might try something new.

When Casey blew out of my house all twitchy and neurotic, I locked myself in my room and finished writing. The music came fast. This tune that’s been stuck in my head for months was perfect. That song I was so embarrassed about—it isn’t sexy at all. It’s angry! And it’s snubbed and maybe a little bit of a women’s anthem.

I called it Tease, but I wrote a little note to myself underneath the title that says Fuck you, Casey Coffield.

I talked my friend Sam into coming tonight. She works Saturdays because she’s the lowest on the totem pole at the paper, and she takes all of the classified ad calls that come in. But the paper isn’t far from Paul’s. I’ve already requested to go on last, which is good, because I’ve been practicing the new song out here in the alley, and it’s only getting better.

My phone buzzes with a call, so I stash my pen in my mouth and tuck my notebook under my guitar strings, sitting on a crate and resting my instrument on my leg so I can talk.

“Hey girl. I’m bringing some of the office people. I hope that’s okay. They’re dying to see my famous friend,” Sam giggles. I pause, taking note of the male voices in the car with her.

“How many?” I ask.

“Just Cam,” she says, her voice trailing up on the end, which signals that it is not just Cam. He’s the guy she’s been flirting with at work. He’s kind of her boss, and it’s wholly inappropriate, but when I tell her she just giggles. Sam and Cam—that alone should be a deterrent for her. “And then his best friends work a few buildings over and they usually commute together, so I invited them.
